New art in my story.
« 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 -finished, but headed for a rewrite.
Chain of Souls; Soul\'s Mirror -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\'



Art from \'CoS; Soul\'s Mirror\'

Other art.
Done by me over 15 years ago.
Done for Lyistra for the Songs Echoing RP thread, which I did a lot of writing in.

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:

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

The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

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?)
I want to be a flame, to crumble to ash, but never ever burnt.

I want to rise higher, rise up to the heavens, but sink, just sink down deeper and deeper into nothing,

I want to be an angel, a chosen, a devil, but I am just a creature that ever wants what it wont get.

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:

And some other stuff made with ->Scales<- here.

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

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.

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.

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.
