Looking great! nuff said

Who is your inspiration for Amber?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

A friend of mine who's studying to become a doctor. That is, if you're referring to the character (basically just a pose right now) Amber. The portrait(s) of Amber Heard are obviously inspired by Amber Heard. They have no relation beyond sharing first name.

sexaaaah Icons, specially love the Jaina one

Hey man, did you study painting or fine arts in school? Your paintings are awesome. I only have few knowledge on them because they aren't much more given concern in drafting technology.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

I study art, yes. Thank you.

 

[The World Is Flat]

I was told shiik draws shemales.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Totally.

 

[The World Is Flat]

All characters he draw's actually have both male and female reproductive organs people!

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Reproduces like a bitch.

 

[The World Is Flat]

And herhis foot is bigger than hisher head.

Oh, and I forgot to put the dA link for Garrandé (previous artwork): http://fav.me/d4ijrsh
Not that it's any larger or anything, I just like to whore views.

Anyway, just to clarify - we're just having fun here with the gender jokes. Contrary to Dionesiist, none of my existing characters are actually shemale.

Lastly, I understand dA can be a bit messy to navigate, especially if you don't use it yourself, so I'm linking the journals in the order you should read them here, for those of you who are interested in knowing a little bit of background story/character description.

The literature is meh, but the art.

So badass. so awesome. <3

 

[Deleted member 157129]

I know you enjoy laughing at my disastrous writing skills, but I would really like some opinions and tips, if you can spare the time. I would like to be able to convey a character textually as well as visually in a smooth manner. Technically, this is not the place, but nobody else is posting anyway, and writing is as much art as, uh, art. Fuck, that didn't sound convincing at all.

And yeah, I know, I do badass art because not doing badass art would make my epeen shrink. Can't have that.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

What is there to be good at?

You're trying to convey your characters, world and ideas?

I think you do that perfectly, I love your informal approach - whether intentional or not - it allows me to read, nod my head and say that's cool/I agree/disagree rather than ouch.. My head hurts which tends to be the case with many self-proclaimed writers, they seem to forget the person reading their briefs doesn't have the first clue about their world, your comparisons and suggestive stance are quite the asset as they allow people to build up a familiar picture and adapt that into the one your trying to display (in their mind), which is always easier.. It's like the difference between adding an extension to a house or building one from scratch.

*Is Now Watching You on dA*

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Oh, thank you, I suppose TWIF is just overreacting! :3
And yes, the casual, informal approach is intentional, though I probably wouldn't be able to do it any other way. I dislike writing dry texts as much as reading them.

 

[The World Is Flat]

No, we all know that grey simply has a contrary opinion to me on writing.
Your writing isn't WRETCHED. Its mildly BAD, thats all.
I could point out details if you want?

And my problem is not with informality.

Do your worst, don't be subtle about it, I prefer to hear your honest opinion. It can't do anything else than give me a broader perspective of what I can and should do, anyway. Any and all criticism helps, the harsher the better.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Wonderful.

Call it Hammath's boring and outrageously angry twin. Because Hammath certainly wields no hammer, nor does he sport such a face or have sausages as replacement for fingers. Still, I had to touch it up quickly before handing it in, the last version was a bit rough.

http://fav.me/d4ja2r6
Same sad case here with butchering, although not as bad. I put myself in a position where I had four hours to finish Hammath and Mya both, so they ended up pretty rushed and without any plan of what do to other than making it look somewhat finished.

Yeah, I don't know. Had to come up with an imaginary product and make an advertising poster. Didn't do the product or advertising so well, but the painting isn't horrible. :3

This one isn't actually new, but I found it lying about and I figured I'd post it as well. It's a WIP that I stopped working on some time ago, like last year or the one before. Might pick it up and work some more on it. Well aware the face is skewed and proportions are out the window.

Why does she have flaps on both side of her lower leg part? I mean, just seems in the way. Talking about the flap which is inwards.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

actually it makes more sense than you think..

Fish can retract their fin as they want, so she could only use the one from the outside while swimming... even tough it would be hard for her to swim properly because it wouldn't be quite balanced. Beside, to extend the idea, what if she brokes one of her leg? she can still manage to swim! and I'm pretty sure it's more than usefull du to that

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Awesome drawings shiik!!!

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Most of what I've been doing lately is on paper, so I'll get some digitally remastered sketches and whatnot up soon.

 

[M0rbid]

You are made of win, and I approve of you.

The only problem of all your troll arts that the fangs are come from bottom, where originaly are from upper jaw. For proofs check original arts and compare.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

I base my icons on the actual in-game appearance and not the fan and concept art, mainly because trolls in World of Warcraft have tusks pointing downwards and most of the fan art is for World of Warcraft. Even so:

 

[8512590215848]

well from current angle its hard to say from where these fangs are coming. Check else works or compare with ingame screenshots (or if u play wow - check by urself).

Also u can check links below (images)

Look at me

also i recommend check this: http://www.rp-haven.com/forum/eridah/azero_natomy

Well, im not sure if this skull anatomy actual for female trolls, but for male trolls are surely right, that the fangs are from upper jaw;

 

[The World Is Flat]

Just call it his version of a troll if you want to nitpick. It really doesn't matter.

surely, just noticed this and no, it not lowgrades his icons and contribution to the hive.

 

[The World Is Flat]

I'm assuming you said you just noticed this, and that it doesn't downgrade his icons/contribution to the hive.

^^ which is absolutely correct.

Thing is that in WC3, the tusks emerge from the lower jaw on the models, and because this is WC3, I want to stay close to that vision. I know the tusks face downwards in World of Warcraft, but that's a different game.

shiik does have pretty solid posing.

shiik does make pretty solid boobies..

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Solid boobs? HEY, they're not statues, they're soft!

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Solid boobs? HEY, they're not statues, they're soft!

my cock doesn't agree (tum tum tishhh)

back on subject = really awesome sketch bump!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well I mean, they are young, supple firm breasts, they must be, for a stripper of her age. Implants?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Her age? Please elaborate. Given my portfolio one could assume most of my characters are thirty years old. And she's nude because I didn't design clothes. It's a gesture artwork, dammit. :3

 

[Arowanna]

@The World Is Flat, does it have to be realistic..? Ó.ò
Isn't it up to the artist to draw what he/she desires? Isn't art an escape from reality? Or what are you aiming at?

@shiik, loving the new stuff!
Wish I spent more time studying anatomy; envying your stuff... Badly..!

This is pretty damn solid:

Thank you.

Couple more sketches.
