A piccy of my main character Alex Dragon from my novel, with a bit of inspiration of Ryan Phillippes XD Drawing to hopefully get my mind back into art again. See my Deviantart site if you are interested in the wallpaper version of this *nods* www.arkillian.deviantart.com

 dfelonTotal Posts: 104Oct 28, 2005 11:01 amWow! Those lips are amazing, and I also like how you draw his hair. I'm interested to hear more about this fella now. He looks a little evil/smug/confident? |

 arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Oct 28, 2005 4:27 pmNot evil, but definetly self confident/ determined/arrogant. He's the hero in my story- it doesn't mean he is nesesarily on everyone's side. He's completly against the High King in my story- and well, his family rant higher than the king --- |

 Lady Anime79Total Posts: 2839Oct 28, 2005 3:53 pmOh I just LOVE Alex!!! He is so devilishly handsome. You ave one very sexy character here sweetie. I can't remember what the last one of him that you did looked like. I will have to go back and visit your gallery. But I honestly LOVE the up close and personal view we get of his face. And your shading is so very beautiful and subtle and he honstly looks so REAL! damn he is awesome. Okay... I think I am going to hell now, but who cares? He looks wonderful. I love how you shaded his lips and the back of his neck. Okay... well, I better go now before I start kissing my computer screen. --- Laughter is the best medicine and your face is curing the world. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Oct 28, 2005 4:16 pmXD YES! He is my sexy little devil errrr... hero of my story *looks around innocently* Photo referances are the best, eeeeven though I didn't REALLY follow it on this one- it was more to remind me how the eyes looked on that angle, and to a point, the mouth. Pretty much everything isn't the same... Oh- I just spotted a mistake in this piccy... ERRRR!!! I hate doing that! I'm gonna have to change it now ^^; --- |

 nathieTotal Posts: 380Aug 7, 2006 1:18 ami love the hard contrasts and the pencil shading there. not the usual manga style, more traditional. yes for originality! |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 1:24 amThanks ^^ There's not alot of people out there that appreciate contrast- it's odd, but I love it ^^ Lighting is something I'm still teaching myself, but when it's done right, there is so much class in a grey scale pic with it --- |

nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 7, 2006 1:36 ami think the contrast brings a pic to life. holy shit, you´re working with 9b! |
|
|
arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 2:18 amI had bad experiances with the harder leads- they didn't give contrast, and I couldn't blend them. I think I'll need to learn though cause I can't get 9B to be smooth. At best, it's VERY rough. It suits this pic though, so it's fine. I have others that didn't turn out so well. --- |

|
nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 7, 2006 2:58 amyes, harder leads don´t often give contrast, but I´ve myself probs not to wipe all, i´m so messy with that. i use for contrasts mostly technical pens. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 5:02 amHeh. You say $20 is low, but no one will pay it ^^; LOL! Yeah, I do put effort in, but people aren't willing to pay money. It's ok though- I only do art for fun- even my comic is for fun. I don't expect it to make huge money or anything ^^ --- |

nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 7, 2006 5:32 amyes, it´s a pain in the a*** with commissions. either you draw for friends, or students without money or relatives. ^^ |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 5:38 amYOUR CAT!!!! NOOOOOO!!! *oogles kitty duster* Poor thing- I have a ginger kitty kat too- he's a long haired cat and if he encountered an unsealed pic he'd muff it to death!! XD Speaking of sealant- you should add that to the tutorial. I've learnt the HARD way to seal ASAP. Otherwise grey is not the word. My old charcoal pics not only destroyed themselves, but the page opposite them in the sketch book, and the pencil ones weren't too much beter ( Go HBs for not smudging as much!!) --- |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 5:58 amDrat. Oh well- I tried ^^ Yeah, I love the male body too. I appreciate all bodys- male and female. People think its weird for a female to appreciate a female's body, or to appreciate a male body (It's not that I'm horney or anything), but it's just beutiful. Everytrhing has beauty. I'm just able to draw humans and not other stuff as well ^^ --- |

nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 7, 2006 6:05 amyes, i apprecciate the human body and i love to draw it. i´m more into men but of course i draw female bodies too. yes, even if i draw gay stuff, i don´t get horny at all, i just love to draw it. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 1:48 pmSorry- you're new. The double named ones are collabs. These ones in particular would probably be the competition entries- I did the line art, they coloured. I shows up in both mine and their gallery --- |
|
|
nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 8, 2006 12:32 amah, that are collabs. i wondered about the many styles you have had. |
|
|
arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 8, 2006 1:45 pmSeen Y! Gallery. Don't want to go into any more art sites though. I don't like giving part of my attention out. I barely have enough time now days to draw let alone start in another community- sorry --- |

nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 9, 2006 2:08 amyes, i can completely understand it. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 9, 2006 2:50 amDon't worry- I've got friends that push checking important emails once a week ^^; --- |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 7, 2006 1:49 pmSorry- my gallery doesn't have much rescent stuff- my hand has been in bracing for over 6 weeks now. Soooooo want to update it --- |

nathie (Reply)Total Posts: 380Aug 8, 2006 12:31 amoh - a hand accident is the worst that can happen. get well soon! |

 EshkenaziTotal Posts: 144Aug 24, 2007 8:12 amLovely work. I really love that intense gaze you captured--with a hint of a smirk. He looks like he's about go crazy on an unsuspecting bad guy. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 24, 2007 9:52 amYeah- I really like this picture. I use it for the background of my buisness card. It ended up looking really good- I've had to sign a few buisness cards ^^; (Damn tight wads getting cards signed cause they're free T.T DOOM!!) --- |
|
|
Eshkenazi (Reply)Total Posts: 144Aug 24, 2007 11:28 amLook on the bright side--at least people want signed art from you. :p |
|
|
arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 24, 2007 4:00 pmNot really. When they start off with "Do you have anything for free?" And I'm stupid enough to say that the buisness cards are, that's more or less stupidity at my own cost --- |
|
|
Eshkenazi (Reply)Total Posts: 144Aug 24, 2007 6:07 pmYou just have to learn to start being mean! When they ask if you have anything for free, you should just say..."Um...do *you* do work for free? No? Well, neither do I." |
|
|
arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 24, 2007 6:31 pmNaugh- the cards are there to give out. The cost nothing to make. It's not the point though. You don't just take stuff for free and not want it specifically. Those kids would throw away my card. The others would go to my web site and mayb buy somethign later. Even if they just wanted it cause it had a cute guy on it. Yeah sure. Cause its free? That hurts. I don't offer my cards as *free* now. I point to them if people want info and hey;'re there to take, btu not if someone asks for free stuff now. That's fair --- |
|

Eshkenazi (Reply)Total Posts: 144Aug 24, 2007 6:43 pmI suppose that's true. I just hate people always trying to grub free stuff off of artists as if what we do isn't really worthy of being paid for like if we had 'real' jobs. That's probably one of my biggest pet peeves. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 25, 2007 2:55 amDrawer huh? Like, you have slide out boxes that hold staff XD You know one thing I hate? Just cause I draw alot- people ASSUME I can draw everythign equally well? Like NO! Do you see mecha and wolves and scenery in my gallery? As it happens, I took a year of art design so I can do logos if I think about it, but stuff that's not in my gallery? I can't just draw it- realy. Unless its a REALL commission? Someone wanted me to draw a unicorn once. My unicorns look like dragons, my dragons look like dogs, and heaven forbid I should draw a dog XD May become a rift in the space time continuim XD --- |

Eshkenazi (Reply)Total Posts: 144Aug 25, 2007 11:29 amI hate that too. The last time I asked my mom what she wanted for her birthday, she asked me to paint a landscape. |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 3711Aug 25, 2007 3:53 pmYou could do a comic if you wanted- there's heaps of painter type artists that do some awesome work with that kind of technique, but the problems with comic is 1- storyline that suits your style, cause at that point, you wouldn't WANT an action story with your style, 2- time consumation for what satisfation of you? I enjoy doing comics, but if you don't like them, then it doesn't matter how good the story line is, you'll hate your results cause you didn't want to do it in the first place. --- |
