Xythe's Artwork

[Light Merlyn]

This is nice work, but I\'m not exactly an artist...
Have you tried making 3D graphics?
If not, try out Blender3D at Blender3d.org , free download, easy to use, but, as I said, I\'m no artist, I\'ve only used it to make the vase in one of the tutorials, and a sword, both looked very realistic, despite my lack of artistic abilty

Their gallery is http://blender3d.org/cms/Archive.179.0.html , Check it out.

So, I wanted to see a fan art drawing of Laanx before she turned \"evil\" and the mighty \"Search\" has turned up this, which I\'m sure would\'ve been given to me as a link if I made a new thread. However, the link to the drawing of Laanx is not working!! The evil Laanx link works but not the one before it. If this Xythe person is still around or if someone has saved his art locally, could you repost it please? Thanks.

Bnm85: Ok this is the link, it work for me so maybe you could try it out to see if you can view the picture.

Shasta Soda: Ok I will look into your request and have it drawn when I find the time.

Siegheart: Well I am a person without much patience but when it comes to drawing.....maybe I am too engross in it that I forgot about the time.

Gentar: Hmm realistic drawings.....I never really drawn much of those, but I do draw with pencils.

Tuutob: Hope to see your arts.

Light Merlyn: Well I never did any 3d works before, is it much more time consuming than drawing?

BTW Thanks for all your compliments guys

Xyth old buddy glad to see that your still around!

[Bnm85]

Xythe,

Hehe... That\'s the link for the evil Laanx, which does work, as I said before. What I need is the Laanx before she turned evil. And that link in your first post doesn\'t work.

Glad to see you\'re at least around, that gives me hope that maybe you have the original Laanx drawing on your HD somewhere.

I\'ve seen it in the comic forums before it died, I wonder where that Laanx picture is floating to? (I wish I saved it onto my HD, usually I save all of the artist work I see).

[dragonfire999]

well i colored it in case you want it.
its in one of his posts near the bottom

[Bnm85]

Ah, yes, I found the colored version. That link does work. Thanks, dragonfire!

And I can see why people liked it so much. Very nice. Not quite how I pictured Laanx but still nice.

Here\'s the link for others to see:

Wow. That\'s a lot of pics! :tup: very nice..

The link to the not-evil laanx doesn\'t work btw.

[oobilytoob]

WOW, im somewhat of an artist myself but not of this caliber. Your work is great..../me twiddles his thumbs what would i have to do to get a picture of me drawn?

[Xythe]

It seems that the picture host lost my picture but nvm I re-uploaded it. Here is the new link.

I cant get over how clean your lines are, it almost lessens the quality sometimes (in my opinion). Ah but what do I know, everybody has thier own style. ^?^ As soon as I get a working scanner I\'m puting my work up!

It takes a while to learn, but according to my good freind who showed me the program, it takes a lot less time than drawing, he\'s rendered over 1000 weapons in nearly 100 varieties in the few months since he found the program.

It gives you pre-set textures, so you can desigh, say, a shield, apply say, a steel texture, if you don\'t like that, you can change it to say, gold(I took this example from the gallery, but the shield there probably took a while to design).

[kang_holion]

No, 3D work is more time consuming than drawing. With drawing, you\'re working with one plane of the picture/object. With 3D, you need to build the characters/objects like crafting clay (more with characters than objects). Though it is cool to see something you worked on for so long finally come out in 3D, it is something you would do to get a different artistic effect or animation. Maybe I\'m slow, but I can do a detailed drawing in an hour, inked and everything, compared to six hours doing a 3D model from scratch. There are programs like Poser with models and objects to use, but you don\'t get that \"style\" most 3D artists have when doing original work. You can tell artists apart from their drawing styles and tastes, same can be done in 3D.

I\'m guessing your friend uses Poser that you can download objects and textures for.

I just can say that out of my experience, making something in 3d isn\'t a piece of cake, while making weapons like daggers swords and such which are symetric (on at least two planes) isn\'t that hard, making a fully fledged human head (with hair) is very time consuming, even if you don\'t have to keep Polys low (it\'s less work with higher Polys) and after that you still have to do 2D work as in UV Mapping and texturing...

btw.: could you possibly put the \"Colored\" list into the first post?
