Simple pencil drawings

[DivineLight]

Great work on those flasks man, great variety. If PS team needs some of them, i can model them, but if they need it.

And for that female ylian sketch thanks man, i am working on it, the legs and torso is done but i am having some difficulty in creating the arms as you\'ve drawn them sideways which are more difficult to model than arms drawn as perpendicular to the body, but then, it\'s ok, i accept it as a challange and i am working on. Thanks again buddy!

Hello everyone.

Thanks for the posts.

To Black_rose: Thank you. I\'m quite interested in my current area of study (communication technologies) though, so no comics from me.

To DivineLight: Thanks, glad to be of service. Sorry for the hands, I should have given it more thought. Well, always good to learn new things

Here are the latest:
(I\'m trying to save some space by not using unique images for everything)

Cambic moss - This strange looking projection is a community of different algae and moss that live in symbiosis together. To the tree this hanging sack is a parasite. It draws nutrients from the tree branch, slowly killing that part of the tree, as it grows larger and hungrier by each passing month. The surface of the moss sack is quite dark, but its inside is bright rust coloured. It\'s not edible, but some rare alchemical recipes require small sample of Cambic moss.

Trench Minoc - A creeper from the mud. This animal resides in muddy swamps and tunnels in which it can burrow itself to the soaky ground. They\'re only about the size of a chicken, but in groups they can surprise an unwary traveller. Although Trench Minocs enjoy diving deep into the mud, they usually move on top of it. Much like a snake swims, Minocs use their multiple tentecles to spread the body weight and crawl over the mud.


A mixed set of creatures. They\'re not in same scale; Caiculk and Garrack are much bigger beasts than the rest. Bulrii are somewhat intelligent, much like dogs, and Branch sage is very intelligent spirit that usually appears in the form of a wooden face.


The plant kingdom is diverse.


Plants continue. Some animals too. Vedian flapper is a rooster sized pet. It can learn to mimic some words of spoken language, much like parrots. Sand Cricket is a common bug; can bite, but mostly harmless.

(sekhmet was wondering about a rock monster, so here\'s my version)

Tunnel Garamond - A rock troll. Slightly larger than the Kran, Tunnel Garamonds compose of different stone varieties. Being massive and strong creatures, they usually look down on smaller creatures, and laugh at their general direction. If angered Tunnel Garamonds go total berserk, hitting with their fists, throwing rocks (or smaller creatures), and running over their victims.

That\'s all for now.

Those fresh ideas just keep storming out of your mind Cherppow, I think your style will bring Planeshift to a higher level. Thx for the rock troll it\'s awesome man! like wow!

Hi all!

Long time no drawings. So here\'s a cure:


Face portrait of a Lucrecian female. They tend to live in their own underground towns, and seldom travel around. Their body resembles that of a slim and tall human, with the exception of the projections that grow from their bodies. Lucrecian\'s skin is tough and heavy, almost wood-like.


\"What have we done.\" - Owl Taull looked lost in his thoughts. He and his brother-in-arms, Kaiser Sneir, stood alone in the middle of battlefield. \"We killed them all.\" - Kaiser Sneir replied.


A salamander snake. Very agile predator that takes residence in thick forests. There it can find critters and other small prey to hunt. While not a real threat to larger creatures, it can still scare you off by dropping to your lap from a treebranch.


This is a snail tick. It\'s slimy body helps it to attach to animals that pass by. You can also see how someone\'s trying to touch it. The nail speaks for itself.


A squirrel rat. Somewhat intelligent small critter that can survive in most parts of Yliakum. Squirrel rat eats berries, eggs, insects and any leftovers from human dinner tables. Some squirrel rats have become quite tame over time, and they often return to the house where they were given food. They hide some of their catchings for a rainy day.


Toon style female enkidukai. MS Paint.

That\'s all folks. Well, I did do a funny pic about Karyuu being \'furryous\', but I\'m not going to double post it here. See \"Faces behind players\" & \"Comments on Faces behind players\" threads if you\'re interested.

Thanks.

Good stuff Cherppow. Your MSpaintsman\'s skills are beyond compare.

A note on the Tunnel Garamond from your previous post: He looks as if he would like to eat limestone, with a dash of quartz. <-Obscure movie trivia.

[Karyuu]

Neverending Story! I win I win I win :D My god, I adore that movie to bits.

Cherppow, your creativity and ingenuity are always refreshing!

[Taurenthefirst]

great job on all of this! like the lucrecian alot... very original looking to me
the squirrel rat also looks cool, and tasty
keep up the good work.

/me kneels before Cherppow *Guy your drawings rulez !!! *
Can I print some of them to put in my room or is there some kind of copyright ?

[Cherppow]

Hi.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

To leji: Heh, as long as it\'s for your own use only, I don\'t mind.

Sorry, no more drawings for now, I\'m busy-busy.

- Edit -

To Kintall: Thank you! You\'re very observative, human positioning and poses are indeed one of my weak areas. I should study more pictures and photos from real world situations to get better feeling for imagining a human body and it\'s reaches, limitations and balance. Right now, many of my human characters are just standing there with blank expression.

[Kintall]

wow, lovely stuff

the ideas are wonderful and original too, and from all the things you include its good to see theres someone who can see the larger picture. one that encompasses not just the hero and his blade, but to the world around the story and the richness of the setting.

so many artists and creative workers get sort of tunnel vision, much like myself and they see only the focal points. but when thinking from a production standpoint you really do have to think of everything from the potion bottles to the small things growing on the trees

and your scetches, even on thier own merit aside form the subject matter are spectacular. If I had to note a flaw what small there is is you may want to work more on your posing of human figures the composition is very good and your spacial sense is great but if the pose seems unnatural it cn really throw back the realism of a work. this is only a very small observation mind you one that I am sure will correct itself with or without it being noted by others.  Once again... brilliant stuff and a sure sign of a very far reaching creative mind

Hi everyone.

Inspired by Jekkar\'s latest art:


Very busy indeed, and new to PS too. (made with GIMP 2.2)

Here\'s something that I should have done a long time ago:

Illustration of Under the moon\'s Nantherei creature. I took few liberties, hopefully they are forgiven. For more specific information, check the original thread.

Just in case you got hungry:

From top left: Goum apple (bitter), Bynbar root (blank), Euphaul gourd (sweet).

Nice work really nice colour )

[Cherppow]

Did a little try with openCanvas. Took me a while to notice the language can be changed. Didn\'t do too good, but had lots of fun exploring:

\"What cookies?\" the young ylian replied, when Jomed Parcen asked around for his missing delicacies.

[dragonfire999]

Very cute Cherppow.

I also like your version of UtM \'s creature, looks very PS ready

[Under the moon]

*bows deeply to Master Cherppow*

What can I say? It is simply great. I am in awe.
