Demon VS Guardian

Posted Sep 27, 2007, 7:43:51 PM UTC

this is one of my favorites.

Istara (right) versus some poor unfortunate demon who is about to be no more. I mean, come on, Istara just had the fight of his life, and this little guy chooses to get mouthy. XD The popular quote with this one is from Clint eastwood: "Sometimes you have to ask yourself: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, DO you, punk?" LOL

This was a sketch first and then I did a sloppy color of it in Photoshop. My technique is improving though. Commentary is most welcome, even critiqueing even though I probably wont do more with this one. Istara's legs kill me.

I love the wings! They look great!
Other then the leg, I don't really see much to complain about, so props to you!

  Thank you for the comment! *hugs* I appreciate it. And yes, the leg still bugs me. I need to do some reference work to fix that next time because I want to keep drawing him. ^______^

Yeah! Go Istara!

Man he looks sooo angry in this one! He really took a beating from Isilwen. I feel sorry for that little demon... well, almost.

That made me giggle, little guy is really stupid to be picking on big guy when he can see that big guy has already been in a fight is probably still royally ticked off. I wouldn't mind finding out more about Istara, he's got my curiousity up and he looks unusual (I like unusual).

  Glad to get a giggle, lol! It was an amusing point in the RP he is in, and this came out so amazingly well. I think the little guy thought Istara was too worn out to do anything but.. well, he got what was coming to him.
  
  Istara is a demon of course, but he is a special kind of demon. He is the guardian between the astral plain and the mortal plain, and long ago he swore himself to an Anchient (winged elf, essentially) in order to get his aid in a huge battle against chaos. he inherits the looks of his host, and his host will have black wings and white silver eyes when he and Istara are fused. Even in his full demon form he retains the look of the one he is bonded with. So since he is bonded to my character Amadrienshyl, he looks like him. I love his double wings and his horns, they turned out awesome! If I ramble, Im sorry, I just love Istara even though he is cranky. XD

  But cranky can be fun sometimes.... I'd like to see how he looks when they're fused, any chance you have that uploaded? And when someone's tired is when they hurt you faster and the most, didn't the little guy think of that? Though he won't be thinking anymore anyway....

  fused Istara looks a lot like Shyl does, but with strange glass like eyes that are dark in color, and black markings on his body. Which is covered by dark armor for the most part with the long black hair like Shyl has. The wings and tail do not show unless he is fully in the astral plain. I have a picture someplace of what they look like, Shyl on one side, Istara in his smaller form, that if I can find it I shall upload.
