Here\'s another view of cherppow\'s Pices Gaul.


time limitations don\'t allow me to draw a field of gap sylaks.

By the way, are these your fingers as the Hopar legs?

great art!
(like you, some of my art is not in the same level like the other. Only I never publish works that I think are not good enough)

The items sketches are amazing, and the creatures well done.

On the humans, on the other hand, you have some problems that make them look unrealistic (for some reason when you drew the Golem, you didn\'t have any of those...).

To make faces look more realistic spend more time looking at real human faces. try making caricatures maybe. You\'ll find many details you dodn\'t know about.

Also, it seems you use several styles - from totally realistic (namoii, golem, toirk) to semi cartoon (prickly imp, frungy, granite meek), to manga-like (the two girls).

I tend to beleve cartoon-like creatures won\'t be used in the game (since in 3D they\'s look like toy-story characters). So they can be fun (to draw and watch), but when you draw cartoon-like you can drop the stats.

By the way, the reason I don\'t draw simple objects is that they can easily be found in images search-engines. so they are less needed for visualization.

But they are still good drawings

unless you go for the dinosaur style, in which the lizard can look ostrich-like:

and the stone imp, as I promised:

nice model!

just a few comments about the structure before the texturing starts (these might also help on animating the creature):

1) the eyes (as I see it) are more to the sides of the head (like a fly). the head is a bit elliptic, and the eyeballs seat on it\'s ends. the middle eye sits between them. s oI believe the eyes should be larger and moved a bit to give it the infamous \"insect face\" (eyes on top of the head makes it look less insect-ive).

2) note that the big claws are on the second pair of legs, while the first pair of legs has small claws.
The idea is that the creature attacks and kills with the big claws, while using the hooks for gentle movements, and eating (and also cleaning).
also, I think the claws should be bigger. They should look deadly, and not just unpleasant.

3) The third pair of legs is longer than the others, since they help the creature place itself upon landing.

4) the little black pipe on the bottom part of the head is needed for the sucking attack. (maybe it should be longer than I made it)

By the way, shouldn\'t this part of the discussion move to a different thread, like the \"3d grangalan\" one?

four like a dragonfly.
Everything not especially defined about the grangalan is dragonfly-ish.

oops... sorry karyuu!
(good thing she doesn\'t read this thread   )

Zeraph, Here\'s your female klyros (yes, guys, you can comment on proportions, clothes etc. And no, I probably won\'t make better drawings since this one was quite consuming. I don\'t know why I hate drawing humanoids. I guess it gives more room for mistakes.)

As you can see I went on the \"80\'s hair look\" with the spikes. I thought it would look more feminine then small spikes. I based it on the well-known male Klyros face, and used Zeraph\'s legs.

(the situation wasn\'t planned by the way, it just turned out that way)



and the PNG

Probably going to model some of these for the game...

yaaay!
(let me know when you get to create one!)

Zeraph: I\'ll try to do the klyros thing, but note that my knowledge of human anatomy (especially female anatomy) is quite weak. you might want to ask karyuu on trying this one, he has a good eye for feminine features.

Adeli: no offense taken (guess I should have put a winking smily there...). When I finished them I thought the gratacs turned out too \"rap-doodle-style\" (too cartoonish, you might say), so your observation is not so far from mine. Criticism is always welcome (no criticism, no improvement).

And how comes everybody likes the Grangalan?
It\'s quite a horrible insect. (while the wajisha is really likable)

But not as horrible as the kaulak:



I gave up drawing moglamoid once I realized it\'s just a huge grasshopper. I created the kaulak instead.

a little kaulak anacdote:
I started drawing it on the bus (the eye and the hands), while doing this I got a bit nauseous (it tends to happen when I read on long rides), so I stopped drawing. since then I can\'t look on the drawing without feeling sick. so for creature stats I would note that this is a disgusting creature.

and an old one: a mahuji

roughkran: The teeth thing is still possible, I think no one of them was drawn with an open mouth...
