Diaboli

[Satha]

Hello all, here is a drawing of a Diaboli I've been working on for a couple of days now.



It's still not done, but I thought I would like to get some feedback. The main thing that I think may be wrong is that it's too dark to see well, so please tell me if it is?

I'm thinking of adding a dagger or some kind of weapon to her right hand, as it's a little boring over there at the moment. Though, if I add the extra decorations that are on the official arty thing... but I'm not sure if I should add them at all. ALSO! I'm not sure about the lightning/magic/thing that's in her left hand..

Any tips or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!

[Dajoji]

Nice!

Perhaps the portrait would be stronger if she were looking into the "camera" instead of to her left. And ya, the right hand could have a weapon. I think she could use whip

[Kaityra]

Very very nice.   

I agree with Dajoji, a whip in her right hand would really suit her well. How about a cat-o'-nine-tails in brown leather, about the same colour as her hair?

  This pic is friggin awesome! Good job! I love the pose and I like that she seems to have lighting of some sort coming outta her hand. Semxy and dangerous! Me likes!

[Satha]

Thanks a heap, I took your suggestions and this is what I came up with!
 


Now this is almost the final version, I just want to go over it and make sure all the shading and such is correct. So if you see a problem area, please point it out to me? Thanks again!

OH, do you think I should add a background...? 

[Kaityra]

Absolutely great.  I think that the whip balances the figure very well and I can't see any problems with shading or such. I'm not sure about the background, but if you have to add one I would think that it should be a dark and simple one, which does not distract much from her. Maybe a dark cave or a dungeon with rough stone walls or dark fiery mountain range with lava and such would be appropriate.

[Jeraphon]

Great interpretation. I love the colouring. I wonder what it would look like with bigger horns? You know, to make it even more distinguished from a differently-coloured ynnwn.

[Kaityra]

Well, I think that larger horns would look a little bit "silly". We don't want another Illidan Stormrage (WoW), do we? I think the size of the horns is just right.

[Satha]

Tada! I'll call this the 'final version,' but if you spot something that's just not right, please tell me!



I fixed up lighting and redid the eyes again, as they were bugging me. (Along with a few other fixes here and there.) Though, the eyes seem less engaging now. They were looking right at you before, but now they kinda look a little lower. I'm not sure if it ruins the work or not, what do you think?

All in all, I'm rather proud of this!   I've started work on a male Diaboli as well, so I'll probably put what I'm up to with him tomorrow. It'll be at a lot more sketchy stage than what I started showing this drawing at though.

[Kaityra]

Well, the previous version of the eyes gave her that mean look, which I liked very much. Now she looks a little bit too nice to me, but if you like it better that way it is perfectly fine. I'm really looking forward to see more work of you. Keep it up! 

[Orgonwukh]

Awesome! But the horns can never be long enough
Maybe the male Diaboli would have longer ones?

[Anumesa]

Great job!!! This looks awesome! I kind of agree with Kaityra about the eyes, but honestly it looks great either way

I hope to see more great artwork from you!

[Dajoji]

Good job! I like the eyes on the second pic. They are kinda looking down on the third so it looks like she's gonna whoop a rat . Can't wait to see more.

[Satha]

Thanks everyone!    I tried fixing up the eyes again, and I changed the colour of them too.



Do you think this looks any better?


Anyway, here is the first sketch of the male as well.   I probably wont give you another update of him for a couple of days, as I'm a bit busy during the first half of the week. I'm about to drop dead right about now, so g'night...! *falls asleep on keyboard*

[Orgonwukh]

Yay! Longhorn! 
Looks good already!
