Quickly sketched this one up during class today, then brought it home to start refining it. It is (drum beat) a Character Design! I know, I don't have chracters.. But I"m making some. This particular one is for a comic book I am drafting. She is the Dimensional Gatekeep - the strings coming from her fingers are each seperate dimensions that she weaves into order - the braid coming out the other side.
Comments welcome - I know she's creepy.

Minimaid (Reply)Total Posts: 1825Mar 11, 2007 10:01 amYay, Atlantis! Thanks so much, I'm very glad you like her. This is a technique for drawing I've never used before, but many others have... It's a lot of fun, and very quick. Still - I'm not allowed to finish The Weaver until after my commission is done and after my paper for school is finished... *sigh* So many things I want to do, I have to set myself an order of operations! --- |

Minimaid (Reply)Total Posts: 1825Mar 26, 2007 6:43 pmheh - no worries. I've gone into my shell anyhow - I'm pretty much only here for moderating until school's out again, although from time to time I'm trying to do a -bit- of drawing (Arkillian's been waiting months for me to get back into pencilling so I can finish a commission for her - I just haven't had the time/energy.) --- |

Sayonara Ame (Reply)Total Posts: 1603Apr 1, 2007 1:05 amI see. I'm barely around here myself, mostly because I joined DA, so I spend most of my time there, if I'm online at all. That's why I haven't replied sooner. ---

Minimaid (Reply)Total Posts: 1825Mar 12, 2007 4:50 pmYes indeedy it is. I was having troubles writing the first few pages of the comic because I couldn't think of what the gatekeep looked like - then I doodled this one day at school when I was supposed to be drafting an essay... --- |

LilimayhemTotal Posts: 1420Mar 12, 2007 3:07 pmThis is great Robin!She is creepy, with that look on her face I wouldn't want to cross her in a dark alley! I really like the idea but i'm wondering. Is she a disembodied head? Her hands are her hair? If she has a body, does she has other hands?! Im usually not into surealism (i can stare into a dali painting for hours on end and still dont understand a thing) but I really like the caracter, I just need explaining before I fully grasp it --- Dont take life too seriously, you're gonna die anyway... |

Minimaid (Reply)Total Posts: 1825Mar 12, 2007 4:52 pmHer body is still being designed - that's why it's a WIP. However, the way it's currently shaping out the body is mostly made of interweaving hands, some with strands coming out of the fingers, some leading the dimension braid around her like a spiralled belt thing... --- |
