GinnyLyn Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Well, what do you think? [img]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/grief_line.jpg[/img] This is Auron just after recieving his famous scar--and that is [color=red][b]blood[/b][/color] falling from his hands. I'm PS coloring this as you read this. I'm quite excited already by how well the image came out. (Now if I can just figure out why my computer keeps scanning in those horrid shades of pale yellow. .:cross:.)
klinanime1 Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 It's good, despite minor proportional problems. How is the lower body positioned?
GinnyLyn Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 He's got his legs tucked under him, so you can only really see the upper half of them--the rest are hidden by his coat.
Boo Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Its cool despite to the fact you cant seem to see him in real pain. And i mean in like pain like "Ow! Argh! Youch!" and not in "Oh no! buhuhuhuhu" *cough*. Ehm yeah change that. But o.t.t its really good. ^-^
GinnyLyn Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 You guys are HARSH tonight, :p. And he's not crying--that's [color=red][b]blood[/b][/color] dripping from his wound. This is how he got his scar, as I pointed out in my first post. :p again.
Boo Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Ehm yeah i kinda didnt mean him with the crying lol. I meant it has an example. hehe. I'm not THAT n00b >.> I read posts first lol (almost extreme O weeee :p)
Alexa Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 [size=1]I like that..he doesnt look in pain to me for some reason, just depressed O_O. Heh, my scanner picks up half the colors on my colored pics, its sooooo annoying. All in all, good job.
Boo Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Oh wait. His right hand is small and you can see his thumb while its supposed to be on the other side lol. Alexa's right, he looks depressed =/
Rhys Mayiessen Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 [color=indigo]Ooooooh I like it a lot^^ So much detail in the picture. That's what I like about it^^[/color]
Heavyblade Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 That's really good and he looks kinda dissapointed and mad instead of in pain. No big dael though it's still really good. 9/10
WW2 Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Well I think its pretty good. The only real problem I see is the right hand thats held up to his face. I just think it looks odd, but it could just be me.:D Looking forward to the colored version.
GinnyLyn Posted August 10, 2003 Author Posted August 10, 2003 Thanks, all, and-- Thumb? Wha? *peers at picture* If by right hand we both mean the one covering his face, then you can't see it. O.o You got his smallest finger (pinky?) across his brow, then the ring finger next to it. Maybe you mean the palm and the gap between hand n face. *feels playfully silly* *sorta feels like bawling, too* I so hope the colored version comes out better... *trundles off* But thanks everyone, I seriously appreciate you all commenting on the image. :)
eleanor Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 [size=1] You guys are nit-picking it too much. :P Even thought that's what I love to do... But I'll stop myself this time and say that the picture is great. The ink you used really suits your art, and it looks very clean yet detailed. Nice job, Ginnylyn.[/size]
Mina Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 [COLOR=coral]He looks exasperated. Ah well, the pic is great just like your other ones. Can't wait for color.[/COLOR]
Sara Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 [size=1]That's incredible, Ginny. I was really struck by this image. I did think he was weeping, at first, which may have accounted for it...it seems like a very emotional stance, although I imagine getting sliced across the face would also have that effect. I have to comment on the robe, or cloak, or whatever it is, just because it looks good without bringing attention to itself. *tilts head* If that makes sense to anyone. / Post the colored version the second you're done. [/size]
GinnyLyn Posted August 11, 2003 Author Posted August 11, 2003 *salutes, and smiles thankfully* Yes ma'am! (At the moment, I've got the base color done. I need to add shadow/highlight, colored lines, and background.) Thank you all. *smiles* I needed this encouragement. ~EDIT~ Well, just wanted to give you all a headsup on how this pic's coming. I've got half of it shaded and colored. I just have to color/shade the other half, add the background, and viola! I'm done. ^^ *is quite happy* I especially like how the feathery tassel came out. [img]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/akeldama_WIP.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/akeldama_WIP.jpg[/url] As for the jaggedy edges, those won't be there in the final product. This is a WIP, after all. :D (Had to stop--though I didn't want to--'cause "Akeldama" just hit 25M in PSD form, and it's threatening to crash my computer.)
klinanime1 Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Wow. Dam* that's good. Just make his eyebrow come down farther, and the grit of his teeth bigger... or ignore a fool's prattling. ^-^
mystikal Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 I love your lineart and the way you drew all teh foldes and everything *o*... the legs are weird though, cus if they are legs, they sure look like swollen blobs of rotten stuff, and if they are not, as someone has said, the pose will be ..off. but i love it though :D. I hate my scanner. it just skrewed up windows a few days ago so i had to reinstall it -_-''
GinnyLyn Posted August 12, 2003 Author Posted August 12, 2003 Mweh, the legs...I blame the fabric of his pants. ^^; Here we go--nearly done image. I still have some stuff to tweak, mainly shadows--and no, I don't know how his tail got so freaky fuzzy. O.o Also, the spot where the blood hits his knee looks...wrong... Once I get all that worked out, I'll add the background and be done! *SQWEE!* [img]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/akeldama_WIP2.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/akeldama_WIP2.jpg[/url]
Alexa Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 O___O *saves and steals* That is amazing! I love the shading. Somehow though, the hiar looks like the tuft of white hair on his clothes.same texture or whaatever. It doesnt look hair-like. ^_^ what did you use, mouse or tablet?
Mitch Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 [size=1]I.. I'm speechless. The emotions I feel from looking at it are so different all at once. It's..yeah.[/size]
Mina Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Once again, he looks exasperated, but that is an awesomly awesome piece. Keep it up!! *rants on how she can never be that talented* If you don't mind me asking, how did you do that shadows, the ones on the folds? And the color?
klinanime1 Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Can tell that's blood, now. Yep. Heh, his hair looks like a tail! ^-^ just had to point that out.
GinnyLyn Posted August 14, 2003 Author Posted August 14, 2003 OK, so it wasn't exactly how I originally imagined, but I learned a few new tricks, refined a few old ones, and got more ideas for future art. (I'm planning to do one where Auron attacks his memory...for those of you that remember that scene. ^^) I [i]seriously[/i] love how the pyreflies came out. And it only took 5 minutes to do that part! O.o All together, the time on this project was Drawing: 1 hour (lots of torn pages and start overs) Inking: 25 minutes CGIing: 6 hours 7+ hours. Golly. O.o [img]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/akeldama_small.jpg[/img] [url]http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/elementis/akeldama_small.jpg[/url]
Sara Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 [size=1]That's fantastic. I love the--what did you call them?--pyreflies. Seriously, that's great, Gin.[/size]
