I love it! Would you consider doing Soll? smile.gif

QUOTE

He is a noble imperial merian and quite tall, standing at just over six feet,
and is floating slightly above the ground. Oceanic blue skin covers the entirety
of his body, slicked in a viscous watery liquid which causes it to look as
though it is mutating and changing colour. Innumerable small, hard draconic
scales of gleaming sapphire are layered over his chest, arms and legs. A small
thin nose protrudes from his face and large lips curve softly, glistening with a
soft silky shimmer. His eyes sit sunk back slightly into his face and his iris'
glow vibrantly, shades of blue ripple as though oceans. Three large gills rest
on either side of his neck, flapping slightly. Thick silver hair floats lightly,
falling smoothly down inside his midnight robes, a few stray strands falling
either side of his face, standing out vibrantly against the pitch material
swathed across his form, and aligning just below shoulder-length. A silver chain
rests around his neck, coming to a point about halfway down his chest and
holding upon it a sleek panther moulded of fluid black pearls. Long arms,
guarded by enchanted cloth, connect to small hands, the fingers webbed together,
only the fingertips protruding from the webbing allowing versatility, and easy
finger movement. He emits a generally placid and calm demeanor, sublty marked by
scars which emit a darker aura. Long, deep, straight lesions over his arms and
face open and close in an ongoing war, bleeding profusely one moment and healing
over entirely the next. Floating a few inches above his head and glowing with a
soft, radiant incandescence rests a bright-yellow Celestial Halo. Sprouting from
his shoulders grow a gargantuan pair of Celestial wings, their form barely
corporeal, outlined by a subtle silvery glow and showing feathers of pure,
pearlescent white. His entire form emits a holy white brilliance, outlining his
body and casting out Light in an aura of honour. The spicy, masculine scent of
arnica and wildflowers clings to his body and clothes. He is wearing a black
opal birthstone ring, a sleek midnight black panther figurine attached to a
fulgent silver chain, a cameo brooch, flowing robes of midnight black, an
effulgent pack of rippling waters, brown woodsman's shoes, and a sparkling crown
of iridescent roses.

Assuming you where talking to me, here's a simplified version of how I pictured Soll. (That's far more detail then I'm able to draw) He came off as pretty evil looking.

Please don't kill me for the heart, I placed it far enough away so it'll be easy to edit.
And just because I like making them even tinier.

She is a nimble faeling and is unsurprisingly, very small, making her appear
rather child-like. Her long hair is the color of a dark midnight sky. She wears
it formed into two long glossy ponytails, both of them flowing past her fragile
shoulders. When awake, her almond-shaped eyes swirl with prismatic colors, often
changing due to some unknown reason. Her ears, almost comically long, curve
backwards and end in fine thin points. Her soft skin is the hue of creamy brown,
and appears smooth and free of blemishes save a small silvery tattoo in the
shape of a star centered on her forehead. Sprouting from her back are
butterfly-like wings that are bright with radiant colors. These sparkling wings
have been kissed by every aspect of the rainbow and oddly the colors seem to
merge, making it hard to determine where one color ends and the other begins.
She is wearing a prismatic handulet blossom, iridescent, rainbow-patterned black
robes, a rainbow sapphire ring, a jeweled signet ring of platinum, a leather
pouch covered in rainbow-patterned silk, a cloak adorned with silk butterflies,
and a crystalline rose of pure diamond.

I adore it. I've printed it out. happy.gif Who are you ingame? I see credits coming your way. The heart especially, shows a less evil side to him. Would you consider doing a slightly larger one with more detail? Particularly the bleeding lesions(though, I trust you won't over do them. smile.gif ), floating off of the ground slightly(shadow beneath his feet), avoiding the jewellery was good, so there's no need for that, perhaps slightly more malicious looking. I'm liking evil Soll. It suits how I feel at the moment. pureevil.gif Gills, perchance?

Doesn't need to be a lot more detailed, just some of the small things. smile.gif
Unknown2006-06-05 22:31:58
The conquest begins, and soon everyone will have a Fugi-made doll, then the boards will be... ahem, forget that. Nothing to see here. halo.gif

First off, I, out-right, refuse any credits. I do this because I have fun drawing these things. I also will not tell you who I am in the game, because it shouldn't be to difficult to find out. *points to the previouse page* happy.gif

Ialie, I can try... but using MS paint... there's no way I can get her to be that colourful. sorrysign.gif

Soll, I can make him bigger, he won't be as super-deformed, but I won't make him fully porportinait either.

On a side note: I love robes! So easy to draw! wub.gif No hands or feet... not like they're hard to draw like this either mind you. rolleyes.gif

Second Side note: Armour is out of the question... I hate armour... armour and mechs I just can't seem to do them right. dry.gif

Third Side note (I just like talking don't I?): May I put these in my signiture also?
Soll2006-06-05 22:42:38
Bigger is good! It's just the Printout I have has really ruffled edges. tongue.gif Though, I love the evil stare you've given him. biggrin.gif Soll uses that alot. I really like the drawing. A lot. biggrin.gif You've rekindled a desire to draw in me again. I think I will be drawing now. biggrin.gif Thanks!


ohmy.gif You do those in MS Paint?

QUOTE(Soll @ Jun 5 2006, 05:42 PM) 294543

Well, not entirely, I hand draw and scan 'em. Then, using Irfan View, I reduce the size to h-500 w-*** and decrease the colour to black-n-white, where I open it ope with MS-paint and colour them. After That I reduce the size, with Irfan view again, to H-90 W-** and edit out the more... noticable edges and save it as a Gif with a transperant backgroud. Then I post 'em both here happy.gif

Now back to the question I was meaning to ask... what do bleeding lesions look like? doh.gif

I'm afraid to google it for I can already imagine all the gory pictures that will come up. sick.gif

PS: while I'm here, what do you mean by ruffled edges? I haven't printed one out yet.
Soll2006-06-05 23:05:16
From my PoV, long, thin bleeding scars over Soll's face. Though, with true Stigmata it would be on the hands and ankles. In Lusternia, I see them on his face. Pretty much all over. But, due to the nature of the drawing, probably only one or two. Forehead and cheek, maybe.

Ignore my ruffled edges comment, didn't really mean anything. tongue.gif I'm just looking for a nice big Soll, with some detail, but in the same style as you've done ( wub.gif ), that I can print out on A4 and keep forever. happy.gif Also, do you mind if I do a few watercolours of your drawings? I like them, but I prefer the medium of watercolours. I probably won't do anything -with- them when they're done, they're just for me, really. smile.gif

And sure, you can put them in your signature! That'd be nice. smile.gif

Me threeeee!!!

=========
First one
=========

describe self is graced with pure, long-feathered, white wings that embrace his slim 6'5" frame.. The leading edges of his wings have been covered in a thin layer of intricately linked plates of the same platinum alloy as his armour, and the metal on both wings and body has been polished to a high sheen. His swept-back head feathers cascade down to a thick mane on his neck and have been dyed a garish bright green, but have also been streaked with tinges of indigo blue for added dimension. Head and wing feathers alike are filled with a soft, phosphorescent glow. His brilliant hazel eyes sparkle in the sunlight, revealing a kind and carefree nature.


=========
Second one
Because you don't like armour
=========

describe self and is remarkably powerfully built for a geomancer. Appearing far more human than viscanti, his imposing 7-foot-tall form has been fused with plates of glimmering obsidian, giving him the appearance of wearing suit of jet black stone armour. The skin not covered in this remarkable natural protection is a pale white, standing in stark contrast to the darkness of the stone His raven-coloured, shoulder-length hair is neatly brushed back to keep out of his eyes, which are of a shockingly deep crystal blue.


EDIT: and yes, you can immortalize them in your sig. Make 'em fighting eachother or something tongue.gif
Unknown2006-06-07 02:23:08
I must apolgize for how yours turned out Ialie, with all the rainbows and my first time actually drawing butterfly wings, I decided to try it in Adobe Photo Shop Elements and... sorrysign.gif I also couldn't fit in the golden sickle... but I doubt you wanted that in there any way. smile.gif

Soll, I'm messaging you with a sketch, to make sure you like it... I did google 'bleeding lesions' but only got stomach ulsers... so I'm just guess they'd be like un-healing scars.

Tervic... you're just attracted to steel and stone aren't you tongue.gif

Before I do go back into hiding... does anybody know how to keep Photo shop from trying to blend the colours with the outline?

EDIT: I completly forgot about Soll's question, yes, you can do whatever you want with 'em, they are your characters after all. I'm just drawing fan-art happy.gif

Maybe I should add a disclaimer or copy write... whatever it is...

Unknown2006-06-07 04:24:59
oooh, can you me one too Fugi? I like chibi types, makes everyone cute even the bad gays smile.gif
Unknown2006-06-07 05:46:02
*Sets up a table and sign*

For all those who wish for a amature chibi, please submit your name and description. I shall attempt one doll per person untill I'm caught up, then I shall make a second round, Thank you. Good guys, bad guys, homocidal-cleptomaniacs, all shall be cute and cuddly by the time I am done. In the mean time, Peter shall not be seen within the realms all to often. painter.gif

*Disappears beneath a trap door*


All kidding aside, I'll try my best. In the mean time, what happened to all our other artists here? I'm absolutly sure there are at least a few dozen here who could do this far better then I. cool.gif

I wants one!

QUOTE
She is a nimble shadowcaster faeling and is slight in build, lithe and sylphlike. Pale and lucent yet lightly dusted with glimmering obsidian, her skin seems to absorb the surrounding light, reminiscent of the dusky evening sky. Finespun raven-black hair fans out past her shoulders to her waist in a soft cascade, the stirring of the breeze and play of ambient light bringing out a subtle dark blue sheen. Pulled back and intricately braided with slender sable ribbons that accentuate her highlights, her long fringe reveals her pixie-like face and unmistakably elven ears, the latter upswept and tapering to a gentle point. Dark lashes partially conceal a strikingly silver-red gaze, the crimson luminosity smouldering beneath the serene veneer emphasizing the slight slant of her eyes with their cool warmth. Wafting about her with every whisper of a breeze are the ragged edges of the butterfly wings which frame her diminutive form, their seeming fragility and frayed cobweb-like appearance belying their supple strength. The tattered membranes shift abstractly in hue, from dusky indigo to deepest ebony at different angles, the colours weaving elusively in and out of themselves to form a subtly swirling, faintly feather-patterned tapestry of the shades of twilight. Traceries of starless black outline the edges of each wing and sends spidery tendrils twining insidiously over each surface, shimmering and dissolving in a complicated dance and froth of shadow. She is wearing flowing robes of midnight black, and other stuff that probably wouldn't make a difference.


Please? wub.gif

He is a noble imperial merian and looks more human like than most of his kin.
All signs of what you might see in a merian is gone. Fins, scales and blue skin
color are gone save for the slits you can barely see around his neck that
enables him to breathe underwater. Black long hair flows down on his back with
the end, cut in a "V", his brown eyes gives out that innocent yet charming look
and an "X" shaped scar is seen on his right side of his cheek. His bodyframe is
lithe and willowly, making him not suitable to face against a well armed warrior
in combat. His skin color is creamy save for a few brown scars around his arms
that has healed over time making the once smooth surface a bit rugged. A look of
determination settles on his face, seeing to it that whatever his goal is, he
will do nothing to attain it.

That's me happy.gif
Unknown2006-06-07 10:56:37
My, I'm quite surprised we have so much talent Lusternia, I think I'm going to go look over all the artisanal entries that I missed while I was gone. Everyone here is fantastic from what I've seen.

Would anyone be interested in drawing Tuek? I'm a changeling, but I pretty much limit myself to Faeling, Mugwump and Elfen, and occasionally Dwarf or Furrikin.

I have descriptions written for all those races, but sadly, my system with the triggers to change my description is back in the States, so I haven't shifted form since I only have my faeling description. sad.gif

OMG! I LOVE IT THANK YOU!



OH Just want to point out. The smaller pictures that you do are actually great to put on the website! They are perfect. Here is an example of mine

Thank you!

Continuing with my Photo Shop and shading experiment, I present Soll's request at a slightly bigger Soll.

unfourtinatly... I need to work on my shading. dry.gif



Something else... what's the most popular ear styles for Dracnari, Trill, and Lucidians? The pictures on the home website all have helms or long feathers.
