Just a place to pile and share stuff. And the occasional art.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Trying to get a better understanding of the facial proportions/expressions of the Knight, from my project “The Princess & The Knight”
The Princess & The Knight
Everybody who’s up for some dragon slayin’ raise your hands!
Sometimes, even the greatest heroes just need to be hugged.
That’s for everybody who has been feeling a bit down lately. Don’t let yourself get beaten, there is always something worth fighting for. <3
WIP for a picture featuring the Princess and the Knight, two original characters of mine.
Posting just in case I screw up again.
Oh yeah, I used this awesome stock photo for the pose of the knight: http://ahrum-stock.deviantart.com/art/Gratuitous-Swording-16-54832500
The princess and the knight.
She couldn’t be saved,
but she doesn’t really mind.
Happy Valentine’s Day you lovely folks! :)
It was curious, really. Her husband had never been a handsome man, but as a horse he was drawing all eyes upon him.
Another little tidbit for this idea that is floating around in my head, following my pictures of “The prince” and Th’ko and her wife Sun.
Trill, the woman on the right, was fed up with her husband one day and payed a witch to turn him into something more useful. She didn’t actually plan for him to become a horse, but hey, she wouldn’t complain. In this form, he certainly was of a lot more use to her. Plus he finally shut his yapping hole and stopped throwing their money out of the window.
“The young prince loved to sneak away from his lessions to decorate his hair with the most radiant flowers from the queen’s garden.”
Also a little snippet of the project I’m working on…. welp, back to the boring schoolassignment. Drawing stuff like this is much more fun!
EDIT: AAAAH uploaded the wrong file! Now it’s better!
Th’ko, goddess of Death with her beautiful wife, Sun.
Those two belong to a project I just recently started. The purpose of it is to loosen up and to see how creative I can get without any planning ahead. I just have a few characters in mind, and a rough concept of the setting/world, but nothing more beyond that. But it is a lot of fun to just go wild!
On another note: I finally resolved all my PC-issues and everything’s back to normal! *throws confetti*
Concept for an older Yenaquai, in her thirties. At some point she gets into a very ugly accident in which she not only suffers severe burns all over her body, but also looses her left arm. Later one she gets a prosthetic one, but the burned skintissue never truly returns to “normal”.
A female character does not need to be conventionally beautiful to be a maincharacter. It has always bothered me that male characters can be heavily disfigured or battleworn but still be considered attractive, but the same courtesy is not extended to female characters. Either she has no or very little physical ‘flaws’ and looks conventionally beautiful and feminine, or she looses both her sexuality/attractiveness and importance in the story as soon as she isn’t ‘hot’ anymore.
But I just don’t want my female character’s worth to be dependent on their looks, that’s all.
These just keep creeping up, don’t they?
Three recent sketches of my original characters. On the far left we got a portrait of Lamie, kind, caring, intelligent young lady and future partner of Maruja.
In the middle we got Amad, adoptive brother of Yenaquai, and Bahati, her best friend and future wife of Amad.
And on the far right we got a portrait of Maruja… after a quite traumatic incident.. poor girl has to cope with a lot of reality-shifts and psychological stress. :(
If you want to know more about those characters, check out the link above, or just ask me!
And yeah.. as I said, I’ve a monochromatic/sketchy phase right now. I only want to draw pictures like these. So… *shrugs* I’m not fighting it. You gotta get out what you gotta get out, right?
