Pheonix eyes WIP

Artists

Artist's Comments

Well- I had difficulty naming this one. Fire Brand suited it, but that's taken sadly [emoticon] So I kinda when- what else. Well, he has Pheonix wings... so how about that?

Anyways- a long way off finishing. Still playing with firey wings. Gonna enter this to ~Bishie-Harlem 's competition for designing a character. I figure Alex is the best cause even though he's a sightly above average looking guy rather than flat out HOT, he has a personality that is totally... wow. Maybe he'll score brownie points for coolness rather than hotness ^^ Most of my characters are cool rather than hot though. It feels shallow making them hot. Got to tell the girls in the world breathe- right? ^^

Anyways- Alex Dragon with Firey wings.... again. This time with clothes on XD AH!! A pic with clothes on!!!!! *goes insane*

BTW- want roasting on concepts and how stuff flows- nitty pick stuff like a colour over the edge is fine at the moment. It's still WIP [emoticon]

Yeah- I imediatly pictured wings on him when I did this pose. It was kind of knightly and offensive at the same time. I got to get the fire characteristics right though- may take some thought....

Wow, this is looking fabulous! [emoticon] The wings look great, but they don't really look like a part of him, beacuse he's inked with a black outline, and the wings look airbrushed and apart from him. Maybe it's just me, though...

Yeah- he's not shaded at all and has no reflection off the fire yet. That'll come when I've done the fire as the blending of the colour will [emoticon] So far, Alex and his other wing are just base colours. I'll see how it goes though ^^

I don't mind if I do or don't- seriously? I only enter to support the artist. If they have too many entries, I'll double think whether I enter or not.

I really like seeing how your style is developing and becoming more and more defined, Soozie! I definitely like the effect of the blur that we get from the foreground part of the wing on our left. I think it looks far more 'firey' than does the solid triangular shape of the foreground right piece. Actually, come to think of it, the left-hand wing effects in general seem particularly well-developed... The right, I'm assuming, then, you haven't finished yet. [emoticon] Now I'm babbling. It's looking great so far.

Actually- the wing on the left is the only thing developed in this pic XD Heheh- I'm developing though? This is good to know ^^ I'm slooooowly getting use to digetal- it's not as easy as it looks, as you could sympathise with I guess [emoticon] Pencil is what I'm use to. The blur will become more defined, but I'm trying for a transparency also- cause fire is a gas- not solid. I'll see how it goes anyway [emoticon] BTW- still don't have the commission [emoticon]

The lady at the post office said that the commish could be as late as the end of June, unfortunately. But she also told me that we shouldn't worry. If something goes wrong, it will be sent back to me, and I'll just have to put it through again. [emoticon]

This is very nice, I especially like the blurred effect of the wings up in the foreground. My only real criticism is that the character sticks out too much, so the wings look more in the background than part of him. Not sure how you'd fix that, but I thought I'd put it out there. I like it though! ^_^
