Title: New art in my story.
Post by: Under the moon on December 19, 2004, 08:26:23 am
*Update* Ok, folks, as of today, June 4th, I\'ve decided to post all my pics here -as well as the story thread- so people who don\'t want to read the very, very long stories can still look at my art. I may yet wish to add more pics once I start the rewrite of \'Chain of Souls\' and will be adding some for \'CoS; Soul\'s Mirror\'. If anyone else would like to do any art based on my story, be my guest and post it here if you like.

Chain of Souls (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=11668&boardid=15&styleid=3&sid=1cd79e116d29587119c6fc7864538e23) -finished, but headed for a rewrite.
Chain of Souls; Soul\'s Mirror (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=15781&boardid=15&styleid=4&sid=2f2c6e7dc33ba70fd0a64255d12ed89b) -not yet finished.
\'Chain of Souls; The Path of Fate\' -not yet started. Title may change.
Please post comments for my art in this thread, not the story thread. Thank you.

Art from \'Chain of Souls\'

First pic \'The Dentali Spear\'  is done with Blender and touched up with The Gimp.  

The second, \'Leave-taking under the moon\' , is a pencil drawing cleaned up and \'blueified\' in The Gimp.

Comments are welcome, be they good, bad, or ugly.

Really Good Stuff, though me being me I\'d like to see the second one gone over entirely like I do with my drawings.
You probably don\'t want to put an additional 3~4 hours in, though.

The best example of what I mean is probably this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12076925/
or:
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/13342522/

I wouldn\'t mind coloring & otherwise digitizing it after I return from my winter trip.

Well made! The story is superb the Dentali is superb. The pencil drwaing looks good (But don\'t you want the narrator himself on the pic?)

Post by: swift on December 21, 2004, 08:15:04 pm
Pics look really nice - I like the first one particularly.  

The story is also cool, keep up the good work.

He is not shown for a reason. You may also notice that no one ever mentions his name. Stay tuned for another couple of chapters and you will find out why ;).

Thanks for the encouragement! Now I know I\'m not just blowing smoke in the wind. :))  Another pic due sometime this week.  If I can ever figure out skinning :rolleyes:

/me goes off to find good character skining tut.

The pictures are very good! I think Sabrene\'s chest looks too flat though. Here\'s a pic to show what I mean:

I think this actually looks more natural than a lot of women breasts portraited in mmos.

Well now, if we want to get that picky, her forehead doesn\'t recede at all, and her lips are drawn too harshly and are too heart shaped. Also, when drawing noses straigh on, like the one on the knight, only one side should be dark and shaded, the other side shouldn\'t be drawn.

All in all I think it is good work anyway :P

@Entamis   :)  
I never was one for the look of those over endowed animai pics.  I prefer women just how they are...beautiful.  \'Sabrene\' is modeled after an actual photo, as all my drawings are (I\'m just not very good yet) .  The scale she is wearing, however, does lend to a more \'flat\' look, but that is just one of its properties.  
Here are some good examples: (http://theringlord.org/albums/Tops/max_scalevest.thumb.jpg)(http://theringlord.org/albums/Tops/lorenzo_chantscales.thumb.jpg)

And some other stuff made with ->Scales (http://theringlord.org/gallery/Scales?page=1)<- here.

Besides, how can you expect some poor girl to fight while carrying around a bust the size of melons. 8o

Well I just wanted to draw a pic where the ain char is n it and want to aske you if you would have something against it?

Not yet Merdarion, but soon.  He cannot be revealed at this time.  He has not yet departed from under the moon.  You will, however, see what lies behind the red letters.

BTW, Under the Moon is not my chars name, it is just where he started.  I purposely gave him no name for now, and I had planed this from the first time I saw PS.

Post by: Entamis on December 22, 2004, 11:13:00 am
I didn\'t mean the bust, sorry for misunderstanding. The bust is perfect. ;)
It\'s hard to describe, I\'ve edited the image so it\'s hopefully clear now.
Maybe I\'m a bit picky, but I\'m just trying to help.

Post by: Under the moon on December 22, 2004, 11:32:09 am
Mayhap it\'s just an optical illusion caused by my poor scale armor drawing skills and the way she is standing.  I assure you, the proportions are accurate to the original photo.

Thanks for taking the time though :)).

Oh, and the third chapter is FINALY done.  Turned out very long for something that I never intended to write.  Enjoy!  No pic coming for it though, you\'ll have to wait untill the next chapter.  

I need sleep, the typos are attacking again. Damn Grass Gnomes... G\'night.

Well I wanted to draw you being hold by those guardians on one side (Tears in eyes), and on the other side Sabrene\'s face upwardsdown mouth wide open, hair lying along the ground, heavy tears in eyes, somewhat for Truth in Tears.

Post by: Under the moon on December 22, 2004, 12:17:02 pm
Go ahead, if you like.  But don\'t draw them in the same scene, as they are not together.  Her face should be floating in a...well... like a lot of movie posters or book covers.  Together but apart.  But only her face, as you don\'t know what is happening to the rest of her (it\'s a secret ;) )  And try to avoid making his (known so far as the Keeper) face too detailed, maybe even too shadowed to see. Can shadows cry? We are not realy supposed to know what he looks like yet.  One clue though, to help you wit your pic, he has 3 to 4 inch (I\'m American, so sue me) long, slightly curly, brown hair with a few sun bleached highlights, if you want to go for color,that is.  He wears a red tunic held by black laces(not lace) at a V neck.  There are gold runes -druidish- running down the sleaves and circling the upright coller. He is strong(tosses large men about) but not overly big. Think senior quarterback, he is  only 17.

Can shadows cry?  Wow, I like the sound of that.  I may just have to use it!
Title:
Post by: Merdarion on December 22, 2004, 03:55:57 pm
I have exactly thought of that, some kind of mist between both.

His face will be darkened by his hairs shadows and only a bit  of his face is revealed trough the firelight.

Well she will be kinda lying. (You won\'t see her body just her head, abd a bit of her shoulders.)

I will give my best,
Title:
Post by: Under the moon on December 22, 2004, 07:07:34 pm
Permision granted, Goodmaster Merdarion.  But if you simply must draw her shoulders, try to draw women\'s hands holding them down, and don\'t forget her armor :).  Good luck!

BTW, Did a google search on \'Can shadows cry?\'.  Seems like no one else has said it, that I can find.  WHOOOHOO!  Into my sig it goes! :D

I won\'t be on the forums for a few days, so if you get the pic done, just post it.  Here or where-ever, and I will get back to you on it.

Post by: necromantux on December 23, 2004, 01:52:53 pm
there is an answer here (http://oldpoetry.com/Poem/561985), someone states that shadows actually cry.

It will be so soon
It\'s coming now
When darkness hides the sun

when shadows cry
And pixies die
Leaving sorrow work undone

The cold wind blows
The song\'s unsung
The child flees from that which comes

A blackness still
A fear so deep
It will be too late to weep
Title: Continuing thread
Post by: Merdarion on December 30, 2004, 03:53:34 pm
Well maybe you can talk to those who have posted on Chain of Souls thread to edit their posts so the story can be continued without interruption.

I would gladly change them.

And sorry that i didnt post a picture it somehow goes whacky everytime i try.

He is here!  Yamuel has arrived.  Come on, you knew it was him.

Anyways the newest pic is in \'When Time Forgets\' and is entitled: Ba ba ba buum \'A God\'s Mistake\'.  But which god, hmmm?  Stay tuned.

Modeled in Blender (I hate chains) some light effects added in the Gimp.

Oh, and I have a new sig :D.  The name is on a floating layer so I can change it later.

>Edit<  I aso have the next drawing done, but you can\'t see it till the NEXT chapter is done. Na Na :P  I actually did it before I started my story.  I you have read my \'Clarifications needed for story.\' thread, you can guess who it is.

The grey Diaboli?
Title:
Post by: Under the moon on January 03, 2005, 08:46:49 pm
:D GIVE THE MAN A COOKIE!! :D

This will be a very special Diaboli.  She will help explain a lot about the forgoten past of her people.  That is, if Talad doesn\'t mind me delving into their history.
Title:
Post by: Under the moon on January 09, 2005, 09:07:19 am
Here she is!  I am not yet to that part of the story, but I have been sitting on this drawing since before I started writing my story.  I couldn\'t resist posting it anymore, but I won\'t say who she is.  I suck at drawing tails and the horns are a little off:rolleyes:, but what is done is done.  Her dress is supposed to be thin and semi-opaque, but I also suck at drawing cloth.  Other than that, enjoy!

Also, not many people have answered the choice I have given at the begining of the next chapter.  So it may be a few days untill the story catches up to this pic.

It is entitled \'Choices\' and yes, she is a gray Diaboli. Comments welcome.

My only comment is that i am currently working on a recoloring of the female Ywwn(well the clothing will stay the same probably)

It wont have a tail for now, Sorry Moon.

Well the recoloring of the original Ywwn Female is ready:

Nice, except her hair should be jet black.  Good job on the horns.
Title:
Post by: Merdarion on January 09, 2005, 09:47:29 pm
Good hair black Is nearly done

And to be honest, I didnt make the horns, they are just alteration of the original texture.

Post by: Under the moon on March 04, 2005, 06:36:19 pm
Sorry, I forgot to update this thread. \'Choices\' has been added to my story in the Chapter \"Why Gods Cry\". I don\'t really have any art planned for the next Chapter \"Under Darkness\", which is allready in progress.  Maybe I will do Yamuel again. ;)  Or perhaps I could do a drawing of \'Aeden\', also known as \'Fen\' in Lyistra\'s RP thread (not his real or final names, but for now they will do.) Warning, spoilers are contained in Lyistra\'s thread. Read \"Chain of Souls\" first if you don\'t want to know what is coming.



*edit* Nothing new here, just edited my first post to include all my art from both my stories.

Any comments are welcome.
