Lafe is a character from an original fiction of mine. Psychologically he is, however, strongly based on the character of Legolas from The Lord of the Rings.

Wish I *could* shade...

Kazukie (edited Mar 2, 2003)

I could teach you!!! *Gasp* Actually I think it's really easy.. Like for this I'd take a gray color and pick where you wanna have the light comming from, (I'd pick the left) then just put the shading on the opposite side! Like on the right side of her back (our right) just put a line going from like the bottem of the page up to her hair, curving with her back then fill it in with the gray color! =]

*sigh* Tried that. Several times, by hand. I mean, I know the mechanics of the thing, but to actually do it makes whoever the poor chap I was shading look like he got out on the losing side of a barroom brawl. Maybe that's because I was trying to ink it, I don't know. Ah, well. Thanks for the feedback.

The hair is really nifty. And for shading; just go bother Carrie. M'sure she'd help.

>:p

Fencing

WerefoxLeBlanc (Feb 27, 2003)

Marrow fencing. Well, practicing it at least... you wouldn't fence without proper protection. Probably SCA fencing, since Olympic style fencing doesn't allow for main gauche and his Epee has quillions on it.

Probably gonna edit this sometime. Lines look better than I usually do.

EDIT: Cleaned it up a bit.

Well.... thank you. Much appreciated.

Hm... I'm gonna clean it up.

Knockoff (edited Feb 27, 2003)

This is cool. Looks better now!

Kazukie (edited Feb 27, 2003)

Very nice! You did a good job cleaning it up!

Yea i like this a lot. I like the rays of light and the shading.

Kazukie (edited Feb 27, 2003)

I like the shine on her hair. =]

mauvemalady (edited Mar 6, 2003)

Rays of light! Hurrah!

Tesia-chan (edited Apr 7, 2003)

Wow, so pretty. Warm fuzzies just lookin' at it.

Gotta dance!

WerefoxLeBlanc (Feb 26, 2003)

Music seems to be a prevalent element in my art. Hm.

Well, you cought Marrow dancing. He likes to put on his headphones and dance like a fool when he's alone, but he's too shy and insecure to do so in front of anyone else. He goes to clubs with friends but never goes out onto the floor.

I like the BG. Lyrics by Garbage, "I'm only happy when it rains"

Well, what's the point of feedback if you don't get anything from it? Personally, Even ONE precise comment ("Like your coloring" or whatever) is infinitly more satisfying than 1000 "Tha's nice" comments. I know it's nice. I wanna know why.

As for my style... How much more vague can you get? Might as well say "I like the cut of your jib."

UppityCracker (edited Feb 27, 2003)

Ok, you want a critique? Here we go..
The character design is weak, it is sloppy and unpolished. If you really want to define the character do a few detail sketches of body parts, such as the face. Your "style" needs to be defined more.. I mean is your character floating in space or standing? Space is very important in placing the whole scene.
What IS good about it though is that you have a form and an idea, and I'm sure in your mind it is alot clearer.
Just keep practicing man, practice makes perfect. Don't let the shit that I say get to you. Take it as constructive criticism
I don't mean to judge it too much, and art is art, if you mean it to be a sketch then forget what I say. Keep practicing on human form, like how a person stands and the movement of legs and arms. I know my stuff isnt perfect and need to work on it alot more.. ok, i'll stop now.

WerefoxLeBlanc (edited Feb 27, 2003)

Dont' let it get to me? Lessons already learned. That which does not kill me, et all.

If I DIDNT want a crit, I wouldn't post. Thanks.

darkk_angel (edited Mar 28, 2003)

Good idea, but the lineart is a tad bit messy.... if you cleaned it up a tad bit and added more shadows and color to the picture, and a better background it would be awesome.

Another knot.

WerefoxLeBlanc (Feb 26, 2003)

Gaze in stupifaction at my wonderskill.

Or not. Still refining the technique, but this one is the best yet. The curves are real F~ers, tho...

One of these days, I'll draw one of these without requireing 8/9ths of the area for scratch.
Either way, comments appreciated.

Five, I got more stuff posted. Check my profile.

Kazukie, yeah, you see these as jewelry all the time.

Kazukie (edited Feb 27, 2003)

I want a necklace made outta one of these! =P That would be cooool!

ChinkyFlip (edited Mar 1, 2003)

Your celtic knots are amazing.

quintessence (edited Mar 1, 2003)

I have a purdy necklace with one of these on it... not sure where it is though. o.o

Battle Under Fire

Left this open for awhile. I think it came out decent, although I'm a beginner in coloring. C&C please!

EEE! I like it a lot!!! I love when people take the time and make a nice background and even add some extra people/characters/animals/whatever in their pictures! Just one suggestion though, you should take the Blur tool and blur in the highlighting. Maybe the shading too but I really think you should do it to the highlighting, like on the armor. It looks unnatural kinda..

Valaraukar (edited Feb 28, 2003)

thanks for the comments everyone! Wasil, I'm not sure a volcano has to be "straight", never heard of that rule. Kazukie, I see what you mean about the highlighting!

Kazukie (edited Feb 28, 2003)

I don't think it has to be straight.. Actually now that I can see it it looks really cool crooked.. *nod*

ChinkyFlip (edited Mar 1, 2003)

Wow! Freakin' awesome! The coloring job is amazing!
