Spiritsword

I agree, I like the facial expression too.

Thanks guys! As for what she's looking at, well, her character is very, very thoughful. So, it's probably not a question of what she's looking at, but more like what she's thinking about.

Glad you liked it!

I love the movement of the hair.

Your watercolor effect worked well. It's one of my favorite styles.

Ok, here are some of the initial concept pics for the characters of Bel Canto de Myth. Ezekiel is done in a slightly different style than the other two, because he was the first one I drew. And I know that the Cleric and Chanter pic is off-balanced, but it's two seperate pics crammed into one. Just thought those interested in the story might want to see what they look like. :sweat:

Wow...I just...wow. I love love love the designs you've made for their clothing...really want to see more of this style in your work. Excellent job! I can't wait to see more of this project.

Harp on a stick, I like that. It's called a Lyrewand in the story.

Lyrewand...that's a cool name! ^^

This is a pic of Shine from Bel Canto. Sorry if it takes a while to load. (aka, I'm too lazy to shrink it down)

Postby **JediSonic** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 7:37 pm

Woohoo! Such good artwork! Do you think maybe her feet are a little to -- tall though? They seem kinda tennis-shoe shaped. Other than that though, totally awesome job! And lyrewand is a cool name

Postby **true_noir_chloe** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 8:36 pm

I really like your Shine.

I've never really liked pink-haired people, but it works with her. I know, it sounds so racist, but I'm working it out. I've just accepted the fact that some women have blue hair - that's taken a... really, long time.

You're are a really talented young lady.

Postby **inkhana** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 9:31 pm

Cool!

Actually, I like the pink hair, and her sandal thingies are cute too...^^

Postby **shooraijin** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 9:33 pm

The hair works very well with the entire colour scheme, actually. It suits the overall look. I like it

Postby **Shinja** » Sun Nov 09, 2003 9:43 pm

yes the pink hair is awsome,

Yes, this seems to be a "thing" of mine. I guess I've always drawn like that because I remember Lightbringer telling me it bugged him too.

Yup, they do. I'll try harder to see the big picture next one I draw.

Thanks for being honest guys - it'll help me improve.

(I hope

I like it, but the fingers look all fuzed together on my monitor. Hmm.

Now that one, I did do on purpose. I do it often, actually: drawing just the outline of the hand with a few shadings or knucklemarks to imply fingers. Maybe I should use less of that technique.

maybe thier just thick socks?

Ah,

I finally found your album Gypsy! :sweat:

Hum, well I must say, you've improved quite alot from the last time I've seen your art. My particular fav was the singing girl (I think that was the title, not sure though) in which you did a really good job with the shading and especially the hair. Seriously though, you have become quite good at old photoshop. I'm very impressed, and you should be more then proud.

Also, I see you've been experiemtning with sculpture as well, YAY! Another Sculpture other then me and Eriewolf.

But anyways I read that you were using Sculpy instead of super sculpy. Here's a trick if you think the sculpty is too soft (Which it is, I totally agree with you there). What you do is leave it in the fridge or the freezer (No, don't freeze your sculpy) until it get harder from being chilled. Then work on it until it becomes soft again and toss it back into the fridge. Repeat until your done with your sculpy. another cool thing, sculpy and super sculpy can be cooked and re-cooked. So you can pre-cook your sculpture, add more to it, and cook it again. How cool is that. But once you paint it however DO NOT cook it anymore.

Anyways I hope this helps out until you get your hands on some super sculpy. Also, if you need any tips on armature wire and such, give me a ring (I learned from the best. No, serioulsy I did :grin:

I learned from Mike Jones and James Stapp, these two guys are the best, and have been sculpting for toy companies, movies companies, and tons of tother things for quite a while {10 years, give or take} . In fact they both worked on Disney's DINOSAUR in which they both did maquettes & the CG models). So lemme know if your interested and I'll pass on the knowledge

God Bless,
Archan

I totally dig the color scheme! Also, the inclusion of a shepherd (keep in mind I don't know a huge amount on the stories of most anime or manga) seems like something new and different, while relating it kind of to back in Jesus' day. Too cool, too cool...
