Art...sort of

[Jilata]

It really looks nice. I am not sure how to describe her expression, but it is the sort of one she would make.

[LigH]

How about "expectantly"?

[Mariana Xiechai]

Haven't uploaded any art for a while, and got a few hours of freetime today. Just a quick doodle of the character Lonirod, probably my favorite "bard" character.

[Phantomboy86]

Lonirod copies the picture's motion as dashingly as he possibly can (immensely) "Well 'm shore touched at yer renditioning 'o meself! If only m'lucky hat fit on most paper."

[Mariana Xiechai]

I decided I wasn't quite satisfied with the first attempt, but I like the second better. Cept that my crappy camera phone kinda washes out a lot of the shading. Ah, well.

[Phantomboy86]

Ehehe, so nice, you need it twice!

[Mariana Xiechai]

The image quality makes me want to weep bitter tears of bitterness, but before I shade it in I wanted to ask around and see if I wasn't the only one who felt like klyrans look better when they're more "reptillian." I don't really like the human faces, I think it looks kinda odd and disjunct. When I think klyros I think like Argonians from the elder scrolls games, just as a reference:



Sort of a rounder, jutting jaw. I don't know. Thoughts? Oh, and here's the image in progress. This is Evirea sitting with her favorite type of weapon. She likes to "needle" people. (Tehe.)

I wonder if that had been the reason why I haven't drawn a klyros yet. Somehow I never got to be pleased with my few attempts I did...

[Timil Deeps]

Mari, I heartily agree. The klyros' humanoid facial features always seemed out of keeping with the rest of their reptilian bodies.

  Great stuff Mari

I have to agree with you. Looking back at the two other attempts at drawing Evirea, I was never really satisfied with how she turned out. I'd imagine slighter frames, less so on a male, and less "human" shaped eyes. I mean heck, the klyros were so freaky looking they scared Laanx himself! (Not really, but still ) And considering their sense of pride I doubt they'd have their feelings hurt if their physical facades were just a tad more alien

I guess that's how I feel about enki too. I think their faces look better when they're more "felinous," and not human.

Great stuff Mari 

Thank you  I'm glad you liked it.

I positively adore how you did the claws and headfin.  Evi's such an awesome character, and this sketch is so very good! 

[Phantomboy86]

The round face thing is how I did Rathark's head description. (secretly stealing from argonians and The LIzard in spiderman. >.>)

[Mariana Xiechai]

Aaaaaand completed version. (Note: Evirea probably would never actually wear short sleeves, I just wanted to show how her scars look  )

Dem claws dem claws, just for you

The Lizard! I didn't even think of that one, but yeah, that's a good example as well. I think I'll do a sketch of klyran faces and heads from all angles to illustrate it further.

  Really love the wings, they arch just right. And I have to agree klyros look better with a more defined chin, very argonian. All in all, Awesome Sauce Mari
