Well, I've browsed through here a few times, I draw... I figure why not post some of my craptastic sketchings? :whistling:
To kick off, I tried drawing my PS-based alter-ego.
Since it's still a WIP, there's a lot yet to go, but here's a couple progress scans.
KRScan 01 (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/krs_scan01.jpg)
KRScan 02 (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/krs_scan02.jpg)
The Enkidukai before you appears young, perhaps no more than twenty or so. He stands a bit taller than the average Enki, and substantially leaner than most. His clothing consists of a simple dark-blue vest and a set gray-green leather trousers, both of which appear slightly singed. A simple black cord serves as his belt, with two worn sabres hanging securely from it. A faint tinge of acrid smoke clings to his fur, which appears groomed and well-kept despite his rugged appearance. A small set of round spectacles perch on the bridge of his muzzle, partially obscuring his hazel eyes.
Also, some older character studies, mostly for the heck of it...

You should definately continue with your drawing escapades :) You have a great sense for forms as well as their dynamic brethren. I do enjoy your comic-like style with a touch of attitude molded in neatly.
Keep artsying, lad! :)
-
Very nice work. \\o//
I look forward to seeing more.
-
Baldur - Thanks, you've got some interesting creations of your own. :thumbup:
Vexonee - :) Wish granted. Although I think you've already seen this next one...
...I realized that every felid I've posted up there is male. Well, to correct that imbalance, I present to you Rianna.

Bay Window (http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs18/f/2007/130/4/5/Rianna__SV_Window_by_Kieve_KRS.jpg) (Photoshop-colored)
Critique if you like, but be kind. And yes, I know her tail is too long.
-
Wonderful scenery! You're really something! :D And, why, thank you on the subtle compliment .)
The latter picture somehow reminds me of the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Oh yes, you've created an Anti Aliasing effect of sorts which is quite snazzy! The shadows and colors look really nice. I don't see any changes need being made, just: Good Job and Well Done!
-
Baldur, if it reminds you of Oblivion, it's probably because the window frame and background scenery comes from Morrowind screenshots, and the "bloom" lighting gives it that Oblivion-like glow. (A photoshop trick that was pretty common for a while in the Morrowind character screenshot threads). I was actually really pleased with how she came out, overall - which is rare for me - and even moreso since it's the first "lineless" drawing I've tried. :D And again I thank you for the kind words. :)

Precipice
Thunder rumbled through the mountains outside Akkaio - not the clap/boom of lightning, but the enraged growl of an ulbernaut as it lumbered forward. The young enkidukai under its gaze backpedaled swiftly, dull orange flames wreathing his left hand. Smoldering patches in the ulber's hide bespoke a battle that had already raged on for several minutes, but the massive beast's resilience was rapidly wearing out the mage's strength.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/Precipice01.jpg)
He took another step back, finding his paws on the edge of the bluff behind him. His eyes darted towards the sheer drop, then refocused on the looming ulbernaut. "So," he snarled wearily, "that's how it's going to be..." The flames surged brightly around his hand, coalescing into a seething orb of raw magical energies. Steeling his nerves, the enki forced his legs to move, and he hurled himself backwards off the precipice as the fireball flew from his hand.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/Precipice02.jpg)
The inferno struck the ulbernaut squarely in its chest, filling the air with the scent of seared fur and flesh. Bellowing with rage, the smoking beast flailed desperately with claws utterly useless for the purpose. Where it stumbled forward, the ground gave beneath its weight.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/Precipice03.jpg)
Sheer rock rushed by as the pair fell victim to gravity. The enki was not yet ready to die, however. His hands shot out, natural agility and instinct taking over as he sought a way to halt his rapid descent. For an instant, his knuckles were scraped bare and bloody against the cliff-face, but his fingers found purchase on an outcrop.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/Precipice04.jpg)
Though the ulbernaut howled its angry despair at him, the mage heard only a dull ringing as he slammed brutally into the rock. Warm blood leaked down his jaw from a new gash in his muzzle. His grip, however, was solid - though his arm ached horribly, he hadn't dislocated it.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/Precipice05.jpg)
He turned his gaze downwards, staring in silence at the crumpled heap at the cliff's base. Soon, the consumers would be along to erase what traces remained of their battle.
The enkidukai touched his free hand to his face, feeling the damp fur, the stinging wound beneath.
No. Not all traces...
Footnote: This is what happens when I have extra time at work. Some rough sketches, playing around with angles and dynamics. Hardly a finished set, but good practice, and I do intend to clean them up and complete them later on. Photoshop color works wonders, and these were greatly shrunk down from a 300dpi scan. At high resolution, I should have more than enough room to make each panel a full image unto itself... I look forward to trying, at least.
-
Good ilistrated story \\o//. I have not seen that many of them on the forums. Like your first drawing of your alter ego as well. For some reason I like him better without strips but thats just my opinion.
-
After some hard lessons and a week in the DR learning from them, Kieve returns to Yliakum a bit wiser, and far stronger than before...
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/KRS-PS.jpg)
This Enkidukai appears taller than average, and thin to the point of gauntness. He wears a dark burgundy long-coat, unbuttoned, its sleeves rolled up to the elbow. Around his upper arms are silver bands, studded with narrow shards of ruby crystal. Beneath the coat, you catch sight of a thick leather chestpiece, also a shade of red but so dark it appears black at first glance, its edges rimmed with gleaming steel. A bright red cord serves as his belt, two long sabres of unique design strapped securely at his right. Silver-rimmed spectacles perch on the bridge of his muzzle, partially obscuring his hazel eyes.
On closer study, you note a jagged scar beneath the fur at his throat, and another, more faded one through his left brow. What seemed to be emaciation is in truth the very essence of lean - as though a great forge had burned out every impurity in his form, leaving him as slender and tempered as the steel at his belt. A strong aura of magic surrounds him, evident as a red glow in your peripheral vision, or a warm tingle if standing too close. The color of his garb and the sense of magecraft suggests an Enki well-versed in the Red Way.

In fairness to the feline gender balance, some rough sketches of Rianna.
I found a few works by other artists that helped define her face a bit better and add a little more character and expression...

(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/riannaPort02.jpg)
-
Wow Kieve!!! These are amazing!
/me sincerely wishes she could draw :(
-
Anyone can draw. You are wishing you could draw good, Anumesa.
-
to be fair, lots of people are good at drawing stuff. just some of us aren't quite so good at drawing stuff like those.
-
I make no secret that I favor felids. Especially the feline femme fatale. ;)
But today, I give you something a bit different.
A first look at the monstrosity that is Xathen Ut'Phaere, the subject behind my little RP event of the past week.
(http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/th_Xathen.jpg) (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Xathen.jpg)
It's a bit rough, as I don't typically do full-ink drawings like that, but as a concept I think it works.
-
Following in the same vein, the design for the twin greatswords Xathen weilds.

*brushes off the dust*
Well, I know the taboo about dredging up old threads, but this one being mine, I hope I'll get a pass this once. ;)
For anyone who's noticed my extended absence - life grabbed me by the 'grumblies' rather hard. If there's an upside to any of that, it would be how nicely calm the last few weeks at work have been.
So calm, in fact, I started drawing again.
Victor DeLeon:
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/MechaSentient/th_Victor.jpg) (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/MechaSentient/Victor.jpg)
I'm quite proud of this one, simply for the fact that he's a HUMAN. The first human I have drawn in... ever, actually, that came out decent.

The protagonist of my little artistic endeavor. You can locate a colored version of him here (http://kieve-krs.deviantart.com/) if you like.
Zoe:

Some early facial studies of Zoe. I sketched a full-character study, but I'm not particularly happy with it and will need to rework it at some point.
And the culmination of some of these efforts:

A color sample from an upcoming panel...
"Panel? Character studies? Protagonist? What's all this?" you think. (well, maybe somewhere in the back of your mind?)
Check here (http://mechasentient.comicgenesis.com) and all shall be answered.

Welcome back, Kievester!
Good drawings, but that's not really fan art, is it? Unless it's, like, a billion cycles into Yliakum's future... :P
-
Hey, your art is pretty good.
I'm particularly impressed by the Photoshop coloured picture of Rianna at the bay window. One suggestion I have for everyone that draws anthropomorphic animals is use reference photos and models (of course, it's a little difficult to get an animal to stay still long enough to model for you) when you draw and colour - it helps immensely.
You've got talent! Keep up the good work. ^_^
-
Yay Kieve!!! These are great! Keep up the great work :)
-
Heh, thanks everyone. ;)
Two points:
1) I'm not really 'back,' although I never quite left either. I'm just making an effort to pop in a little more frequently.
2) No Raa, it's not really fan-art. Just what I've been up to lately. In all honesty, I don't draw a whole lot of anything PS-related. Though I do hope to clean up that "Precipice" sequence at some point. ;)
-
Rianna's been making appearances in my art again.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/rainna_stream-SM.jpg)
-
Looking good Kieve :) I've had a look at your whole thread, it's really good stuff. Though I hope to see another illustrated story sometime, it was great ;)
Just a small criticism for the latest drawing... I think her tail is emerging from the wrong spot, it looks like it's coming from her back. Other than that, good job :thumbup:
-
Not normally my style in art but I absolutely love this drawing. When looking at the pic it gives me an innocent casual feeling. Great work Kieve!
Rianna's been making appearances in my art again.
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/rainna_stream-SM.jpg
-
Eliseth - request granted, I started work on another this morning. :) Much more developed than the first, too. (I mean really, stick figures and a sketchy ulber. Bleh).
Zorbels - Thank you very much. :D Rianna's been my favorite for years, so any praise directed at her makes me feel extra-special.

Rogue Akkaio (part 1)
The rapid padding of footsteps echoed from the sandstone walls of Akkaio's warehouse district.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_001.jpg)
A young Enkidukai dashed along its streets, his paws sliding over the dusty ground as he rounded the corner at a full run. Anxiously, he shot a glance over his shoulder, but for the moment there was no sign of his pursuer.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_002.jpg)
Reaching the ultic at the end of the row, he gripped its canvas edge and hauled himself onto the roof, bracing against the wall as he ascended. The scrape of boots on stone was the only warning he had that the rogue had found him.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_003.jpg)
A dagger hissed through the air, burying itself in the canvas by his hand. The Enkidukai went still for a moment, staring at it with a mix of surprise and annoyance.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_004.jpg)
A snarl rose in his throat. "This is getting old, fast," he growled. His hand closed around the dagger's hilt.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_005.jpg)
Whirling, he pulled it from the canvas and sent it whizzing back at the approaching rogue, but his skill with short blades was poor and the dagger sped harmlessly over his foe's shoulder.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_006.jpg)
The rogue watched its passage, giving a mocking laugh at the attempt. His amusement soured as he watched the Enkidukai leap onto a neighboring rooftop, disappearing from sight.
"Miserable furball," the black-clad figure grumbled, grabbing a hold of the ultic's edge. "Gonna make me chase you all over Akkaio to finish off your stripey hide..."
(To Be Concluded...)
Footnote: The title is silly, but I kept it because I like wordplay and multiple meanings.
Thanks: Eliseth, for the suggestion/request. Anumesa, for showing me how to get onto Oja's rooftops.
-
Sensational! Stupendous! Fantastical! umm.. really good!
:) Looking good, can't wait for more Kieve
-
Rogue Akkaio (part 2)
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_007.jpg)
The black-clad rogue chewed impatiently on his lip as he scanned the rooftops.
The Akkaio furball had disappeared from sight, but it wasn't difficult to guess where he'd gone.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_008.jpg)
His cloth-wrapped feet padded quietly over the stone buildings, but he was unable to keep the canvas ultic from creaking under his weight.
Which suited him just fine - he heard the nervous shifting below, the slight groan of planking as his quarry moved.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_009.jpg)
"C'mon out, you little kikiri-turd," the rogue snarled under his breath. "I promise I'll make it quick..."
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_010.jpg)
The bright crystal light made seeing into the ultic's depths troublesome. Muttering an oath, the rogue gripped his dagger tightly and dropped down into the tent's interior.
Immediately, the shadows faded against a flickering orange light, a torch someone had lit behind him.
Good, he thought. Makes 'em easier to see.
The amusement died under the weight of the Enkidukai's growl...
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_011.jpg)
"I'll make this quicker," the mage snarled from behind the rogue, flames curling from his fist.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ra_012.jpg)
The rogue barely managed a half-turn before the blast of fire hurled his smoking body from the tent, embers trailing from incinierated cloth and flesh.
With smug satisfaction, Kieve brushed the ash from his hands and slid closed the canvas door of his ultic.
The "fiery" conclusion! :devil:

Quick crap sketches, mostly while at work. I wanted to try a tefu, but no matter how I sketched out the skeleton, it was mangled and ugly as sin.
...I mean, moreso than the ones in-game. ;)
-
Akkaio Rogue was brilliant! Seriously great work there. It's like read your favourite super hero comic.
I love your Kran btw, it's a look I don't often see. Normally kran are depicted as big and bulky, this guy looks like an adolescent in size, really cool.
This is fast becoming one of my favourite artist threads.
-
I also really enjoyed Rogue Akkaio, nice work :)
-
Really nice work Kieve!
/me still wishes she could draw
-
Got inspired lately. 'Nother short illustration-sequence coming soon. :)

Good job :) :thumbup:

Text, for those having difficulty reading it:
I've been away too long...
...When sharing philosophies about life's journeys,
the philosophers overlook the element of Time...
...But Time is precious, easily lost, and impossible
to regain. I squandered it on this last sojourn...
Some say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder,'
but I wonder if their lovers shared this opinion...
...To mine, I pledged my heart, mind, body, and
the whole of my being...
...And then vanished into the wild with barely so
much as a goodbye kiss...
...Was it foolish for me to hope that her feelings
had endured in my absence?
I have never seen her angry. I cannot imagine
what her ire or scorn would be like.
Truthfully, my deepest wishes were always for
her happiness...
...Even so, I would welcome her wrath with
open arms...
...If only it meant seeing her once more...
Footnote(s): I almost didn't post this, afraid that perhaps the one scene was too risque. Be kind. :-[
Extensive use of screenshots and reference for this one, hence the higher level of detail.
Thanks to "Lhaa" for providing the spark of inspiration. And to Sade, for providing the memories... :love:
-
WHOA, first PS-related porn ever... (If I'm wrong, I don't need to know.) ::|
If I had emotions, they would be saying, "How wonderful, Kieve. So emotional and... romantic! Yay for sappiness!" :P
-
O wow, my day just got better. Great job Kieve! \\o//
Now cut in with a kick ass action scene!
-
Now cut in with a kick ass action scene!
Obviously it wasn't risque enough for our new mod.
Great work though.
-
Wow, great. A very good job. Grats!
-
Very well done. I should have asked you to draw for my story. It would have been a lot shorter.
A picture is worth a thousand words and your work proves that. Great job!!!
Parallo, it is risque enough, right?
-
Not nearly enough.
-
Heh, thanks guys.
"Not nearly enough", Parallo? I'll have to work on that... :devil:
(But not with Kieve/Sade)
Eliseth, after your comment my first thought was "Random Ninja Attack!"
->several ninjas drop from Kada's ceiling.
->Kieve turns around - "WTF? PS doesn't HAVE ninjas!"
->Ninjas look at each other...
"We're in PlaneShift?"
"Aw man, this was supposed to be the set for Gaiden II!"
"C'mon guys, let's go. If we hurry, we might make the tryouts for the next Tekken sequel."
-
But Sade is the perfect name too! Do it!
-
Hehe. I was a little surprised at the risque scene, but I think it's relatively tasteful. And I do draw all my characters - PS or not - in the buff first for reference's sake, but that isn't porn imho.
The whole story is absolutely beautiful. <3
-
^^ I'll try convincing the devs to implement ninjas!
Just so that I'm not off topic.. I really like the style you use in your story boards. I wonder if I could produce anything like that, I've never tried.
-
Eliseth, you probably could. They're just glorified doodles - the actual images aren't much larger than a business card at most.
Thank you for the kind words, folks. :)
And Parallo, Sade is someone else's character - I wouldn't dare embarrass her in that manner.
-
And now for something a bit different.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/th_bathing_fenki.jpg) (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/bathing_fenki.jpg)(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/th_bathing_fenki_shy.jpg) (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/bathing_fenki_shy.jpg)
(That risque enough, Parallo? :lol:)
A few explinations:
1) No, I did not create a nekkid patch for the Akkaio fenki (or any other, for that matter) - as a matter of texturing, I create a base skin before applying any clothing layers.
2) No new animations were used in the making of these pics. Just a lot of photo-chop tricks and some technology beyond the scope of mere mortals. ;)
-
Lol! I love the depth of field you created. Has she no shame? Bathing in the middle of the plaza?
-
Hehe, exhibitionist much? ::) Awesome stuff though! I really like how you added in the fluffyness to her.
-
Hehe, actually I picked the fountain for two reasons: a recognizeable location, and it being the most convinient source of water I could find at the time.
-
Why not e.g. the "Pool of Stealth"... should be recognisable too. And there is a "cliche reason" for undressing (clothes won't become invisible).
-
*fap fap fap*
(Its a joke.)
-
Not sure what level of "fan art" this counts as, but I made some tweaks to the cult userbar. :)

I've always wondered about the cult of Rizin though, is there an amusing story behind it?

Wow. I don't know why I just found this but I'm glad I did. Your artwork is incredible. You deserve much praise.
I hope you continue this creative release. We could all benefit from it, I'm sure!
Peace to You.
Edig..
-
I'm glad i found this too. I finally learned to draw hand's from your picture's. YAy for copyism.
-
omg!!!! you are such a good artist.... the only form of art i can do is colour by number :-[
but i can do basic 3d modelling and some photoshop colouring

*me huggles Kieve "Very nice... and sad".

So sad...
Beautiful drawings as always, keep up the good work :)
-
I swear I already posted here...
Emo!Kieve, did Sade quit?
-
That is so touching it makes me want to cry. Great work!!
-
Woo! I've always loved these! Good work Kieve.
I still want more butt kicking action though :sleeping: :devil:
-
Thanks for the comments.
(And no, Raa, she didn't quit)
Something a bit different now - not PS-related, exactly, but worth showing I guess.
Iota Mk2 Test Render (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pofogvtEpss)
Took approx. 4hrs to render - for 30sec/900 frames. God help me when the full scene is ready...
-
Fancy. =o I'm curious, how many polys is it? Looks quite detailed. :)
Oh and what program did you use?
-
3DSMax v5. Total scene polycount is roughly 60k right now, although as you can see there's still a great deal of detailing left on the hull and side pylons - not to mention the entire interior still needs to be fleshed out (right now it's an empty box)
Additionally, it's referred to as "flight test" because the initial idea for the anim was to do a preflight check - test the airbrakes, vents, and other control surfaces, then retract the landing struts (not shown, due to incompleteness), and give it a brief run. Total expected animation time is somewhere around the 4-minute mark.
-
I feel it's a bit bulky for my taste, but very original in shuttle designs :)

Turning Point

Footnotes: The ending text was nearly impossible to write properly. I'm usually better at planning that out.
Also, I think Tilavi came out DAMN good. :love:
Sorry Eliseth - maybe some buttkicking next time. My muse is mellow lately, though.
-
Wow! That just takes my breath away. I can really feel the emotion. I love it Kieve.
-
/me sees he litter hidden worrs! :-X :thumbdown:or O--) :-\ :oops: ::|
-
This is the kind of "concept art" one could make a "comic strip" from, superceeding pencil with ink.
-
Raa's sharp. ;)
Thanks for the comments.
I'm pretty happy with this latest one, overall.
(Beats being "emo" by a long shot)
-
Bah! Too sentimental. :whistling:
No, it looks great.
-
I say be sentimental. Let your feelings out. After all love and all the stuff makes the world go round. It would be great to see more of this wonderful work Kieve.
-
Planetary motion... :-[
Okay, I'll be fair. Great work, Kieve!
-
Crap. I meant to say, "I see the little hidden words." Was my iPod's fault... It was sleepy...
Never knew Kieve (the character) was so pathetic... Er, sentimental, I mean.
-
me thinks that when Raa finds that special someone they'll appreciate the ideas behind the drawings a bit more. ;)

A Little Reminder
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/Random%20Cats/ps-ms.jpg)
Footnotes: Non-cannon to PS, obviously. Meksens and Thilsh don't exist in Yliakum. ;)
Hope you guys get a kick out of this - I was chuckling to myself the whole time I drew it.
-
^^ so very funny. ;D
-
Thanks Kieve
I hope my constant questions about MS aren't too annoying.
Its a great crossover.
-
/me has a chucklefit.
-
Kieve, do you run another comic (thing, don't know if it's really a comic)?
Btw, don't go there, Neko... ._.
-
Just MechaSentient - and my storyboard oddness here.
-
Hehe... I'm with Sy and Bev on this one. *pokes Kieve* draw them some guns.
-
No give me the sentimental stuff anyday. :-[ I love it.
-
Happy Holidays!

Been wanting to create another "tailored" screenshot for some time, but inspiration eluded me.
X-/ Well, the blasted muse finally struck. And she wouldn't let me go to sleep until I'd finished. It's 6am!
...Hey, at least she's wearing something, right? :whistling:
-
Nice... I might need some alone time if you continue this tradition of drawing naked things. (Less fur next time please.)
-
Nice... I might need some alone time if you continue this tradition of drawing naked things. (Less fur next time please.)
Enkidukai DO have fur though. Should he shave them or what? ;D
Kieve it looks so very natural.. not at all like some stiff computer game figure.
Very well done.
-
Hey, wow, that's pretty cool! =O The effect is interesting.. I might give making something like that a go sometime, hrrm..
-
Absolutely remarkable: Your "Depth of Field" use. Just perfect to concentrate the attention on the important content.
As if that was neccessary... ;)
-
It looks so realistic Kieve. Thank you for letting us see your work. It is amazing.
How long did it take for you to draw this one?
-
The idea stemmed from a discussion on IRC around... hm, according to my logs, 12:30-ish (am). So, between 12:30 and 6am = Five and a half hours? Not a record, but not bad I guess. Still seeing a few things (like the candle base) I ought to have cleaned up and smoothed out... but ah well.
Thanks for the comments everyone. :) Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good- *zzzz...*
:sleeping:
EDIT: Make that 4 hours or so. Forgot there was another PS task I was working on before I started this, so I didn't actually get to begin on it until around 2.

Some recent artsing to pass the time at work.
1) Not happy with the fireball, but I promised myself I wouldn't muck with the image beyond some photoshop cleanup. Added a little blur to emphasize the "sliding down" effect.
2) Rianna again. Had to fix her eyes with a PS brush, since for some reason I seem incapable of drawing them decently freehand anymore.

A little sample of something I've been working on...
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/gug_sample.jpg)
But what could it be, this towering beam of light...?
:D
-
Sure looks like a waterfall made of cheese, sucked into an arcane portal...
-
Hehe. Finished sooner than I thought.
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/kerol_banhammer.jpg)
Been meaning to do that one for a long while. Banhammer for Kerol. :)
-
Awesome, mate :) Kerol'll be just as radiant today as he is on this render! It turned out really well. I especially liked the way you handled the hair, most would've made it a half-assjob but you really succeeded in showing what it should be doing, not that I've ever seen anyone shoot out a beam of pure energy... :) I also love how you contrasted the details in the hammer and made it look like the hammer had been built, with golden goodness...
I would've upped the contrast on the character just to test how it would look but I'm guessing you've already done that and realized that the hammer is, after all, all that's needed.
I can sit and stare at this for at least 5 more minutes...
-
I LOVE this!!! So funny!!! \\o//
/me reads Baldur's comment
Hmm..the hair DOES look really good.
-
Totally freaking awesome :D :sorcerer:
Thanks so much Kieve! :flowers:
.oO(Now I only need to figure out how/if I can use this as forum sig..)
-
Thanks for the comments. And Ker, [really] glad you liked it. ;)
Although I feel I should note, in fairness, that I did not make the hammer. It's the dwarven warhammer weapon from Morrowind. Goes well, doesn't it?
More artz.

Was poking at a colored version, but it wasn't cooperating. May yet finish that... some day...
-
Hard to spot, but - someone who wears glasses? And seems to slice the mist. ::)
-
You do know I link thumbnails, right? ;) Try clicking.
-
I don't mean the small dimensions of the thumbnail.
I mean the soft tip of your pencil and the smudging on the paper.
-
Ah. Yeah, good mech. pencils are hard to find at work (at least, outside their packaging).
-
Now, does this picture show a famous character?
-
I'm hardly the person to be judging that, I think. Although I'd like to think my namesake has made a name for himself in PS, I don't play him enough these days to know.
/me laughs *
So, more art?

(This was the original size)
I actually had a really difficult time with this one. Too many screenshots/pieces needed to get the pose correct, and by the end of it all I got a bit lazy, so the hammock STILL looks like crap.
Probably should've quit while I was ahead.

::| :woot: :love:
She's longing for the return of her :flowers:
-
Congratulations on the Community Award winning, mate :) I had no idea this had been going when Farren sent me the link :D I do enjoy your art because you're very good at creating moods in your works.
-
...What award? o_O
-
And the Winners are:
The best artist
Kieve

@ Kieve:
*THE* Community Award III ... ;)
-
"Screenshots" again. Even though they're really not.

Praise the Goddess. :)
-
Laanx as Enkidukai? ... Hmm, Lord Harmond will have an interesting time to explain *that* to Queen Lolitra Purrty, a famous Talad worshipper...
But the dress is definitely first-class. Illysia will certainly agree...
__
Ah, no, now that I read the image title... Rizin! :oops: Hail Rizin! :innocent:
-
Ooh, very nice dress.
I want one!
-
Who made that dress? I'm gonna have to hunt him/her up.
-
Yo dude, I really adore your artwork, I love the sleeping fenki, srsly.
By the way Kieve, your MechaSentient comic is genius. I been reading.
-
Just something I scrapped together at work in my free time.

-
You are very talented. Great job Kieve!!
-
This enki is fully clothed ZOMG! :o ;D Good job Kieve. :thumbup:
-
Love it!!!
More arts please :)
-
A day late, but it's been eons since I posted here to start with.
Happy Halloween
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/PlaneShift/halloween_clamod.jpg)
:) Desktop sized version, if you're so inclined:

(it's a clicky link thing)
*going for the honorary "Hugh Hefner of PS" award, apparently...*
-
The full-sized version of my av (soon to be everywhere avs are accepted)
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Kieve/krs_av01_full.png)
Played around with PNG transparency. Photoshop is a bit tempermental about it, but I like the end result.
Should've cleaned up the armor a bit more though, I still see polygons.
Debating on whether I should try adding hair and lowering/adjusting the eyebrows.
*original screenshot taken from Perfect World.
-
Hey scholar... you seem to have convincing arguments. :)
(The ears may be a bit too round...)
BTW: I think I know WHERE this Fenki is. I hear whispers...
-
Hey there Keph...er Kieve.. Nice to see you arting again. ;)
-
Thanks to you both :)
I did poke around at the av a little more, and Ligh you're right about the ears. Will need to fix those.
Hair is a no-go though, it just looks wrong.
UPDATED: Fixed the brows & facial patterns, smoothed out the armor as well. Ears stay as-is. I looked over my reference photos, and tiger ears are in fact quite round.

:D
It's a bird! It's a plane! NO! It's a laser-beam...TALAD!
-
I don't mind the ears. Actually, if all furskins looked like that, I would not hate them quite as much. :)
-
Kieve - please please do Lolitra's image... pretty please....
-
Thread Necro! My regrets at posting this, but I suppose it belongs somewhere.
My days working with PS in any official capacity are through.
It was at times fun, frustrating, fruitful, and always enlightening.
Alas, there is nothing more I feel I can contribute to PlaneShift.
There are those of you who will never be too far from my thoughts, and if anyone wishes to they may always contact me through PM or the link in my sig.
(I get email notifications in both cases)
Ah well. One last art for the road. :) Enjoy.

=( /me will miss you kieve, kra enjoys your art
-
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
ANOTHER COMPETITOR FALLEN!
I WILL REIGN SUPREME!
-
What a shame, Kieve... We will miss you, your support was greatly appreciated.
I hope, before you completely leave, you could at least close the Portrait Contest, or nominate people who should...
-
Bye Kieve. :'(
-
Wow, your work is amazing... :thumbup:
-
Thanks for the comments.
(And no, Raa, she didn't quit)
Something a bit different now - not PS-related, exactly, but worth showing I guess.
Iota Mk2 Test Render (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pofogvtEpss)
Took approx. 4hrs to render - for 30sec/900 frames. God help me when the full scene is ready...
Good work, all of your work!
Question: is the nose of this hovertank a little inspired by the nose of a X-w!ng?
-
irishman, you know that "not working for PlaneShift" doesn't actually affect whether I make art, right? :P
Perlam: No, not in the least. The nose/cockpit area is actually more of a hybrid between freight train and truck. The video stops facing the front of the machine. What you're probably thinking of is the tail, which is used for steering (note the vertical exhaust fins as the camera passes behind). Also, thanks for reminding me about this since it's been years since I worked on the Iota.
