Just a few pictures I drew when I was bored

The shading might need a little improvement....

Actually, I think the shading - and the texture - is what you capture really nicely here. The most difficult thing is to get the perspective right for a portrait with this angle of view. But honestly, I like this one.

The shading might need a little improvement, but I am pretty pleased with the result already.

Me too. I find it quite elaborate and credible. Great work!

Been a while since I posted here. Not enough time to draw lately. Though I am overflowing with ideas lately. I tried using watercolors this time. It is my first serious try at it and it turned out better than I expected.

The "person" in there is a wood gnome or something the like.

Interesting. It seems hard to use watercolor.

I used to be very much into water colors. The technique I used was very different than with other mediums. I typically used a very heavy, textured paper, then pooled on the diluted paint - pushing it around so that hard edges formed in some areas, and lighter in others as it absorbed/dried. In some cases, the edges were feathered or blended together. It was fun.

I have to say, your work is incredibly good, Jilata.

Congratulation Jil!  it's very nice  keep doing drawings like that!

PS may I suggest a coloured version of my favorite char? 

[Illysia]

Yes, it seems like it takes great skill to use watercolors so I'm typically impressed when I see someone use it.

A good tutorial helps quite a lot. Or you have to try a lot of things with it. There are so many possibilities with watercolors I didn't think of before...

Depends on who your favorite char is I've been wanting to draw Eonwind for a while, but never got a sketch of him I was pleased with...

Having a sketch of Eonwind would be great  but perhaps I should have written: "my favourite char of yours "

[Jilata]

too many ideas that are running through my mind and want to be drawn....

Here a little sketch. One of the rough ones I usually rework later on. Maybe I will later on, because it looks like it could be interesting to do. But first I need to finish my other ideas...


A fenki got disturbed while drinking. Did she hear an animal, a friend, a foe...?

[Candy]

Love it - she looks a little ticked off at the interruption

"The Enkidukai realized the doom that had come upon them, and the seers reminded them of the dying words of Gharruk, to head for the eastern mountains, to find a new home there. So they traveled, driven on by the perusing army that followed implacably. The Enkidukai watched from afar as their homes were destroyed, carrying only their most valuable belongings."

That's what I get from reading through the settings.... XD

Reminds me a little on the bible tale of Lot's nameless wife, who petrified to a salt column while turning around and looking back to the destruction of Sodom.

You got the expression of silent sorrow quite well.

I've been wondering recently: Why are there so few smoking chars? I only met one as far as I remember.

When I think about it, there should be some smoking chars. Or smoking being part of at least one race. When you think about it, smoking in RL started at different places in the world independently... And I don't mean smoking a cigar, but smoking using a pipe. I read in some blog something along of that smoking with a pipe is different from smoking a cigar or cigarette since it is something you do slowly. You do it slowly, you enjoy it.

When you think about it, what do you connect with smoking using a pipe?

I think it is something calm and relaxed. Something you do when you enjoy your time with friends or while thinking deeply about something.

[LigH]

I am not a smoker myself ... but from traditional people (like the american natives or the arabian nomads) we learned that smoking the pipe means sharing something common, even with foes. The Enkidukai clans will probably fit well here. Especially the memorial singers.
