Fynnol

Posted Apr 4, 2008, 5:08:00 PM UTC

The scanner killed this. And i had to resubmit. Due to the sketchbook rings. Neh. Anyways. Hopefully, it should be perfect now.

Two of my characters: Fynnol, and Ayr. Whats spinning around her should be water. I tried. Especially on the dragon, which... others say look cute, I say... I could have done better. much better. I need more practice.

I think it's ok- the only issue with the water really is that water swirls are usually more violent. I attached a crit to show what I mean (Excuse the taggin- I'm in a silly mood and you has dragies in your pic ^^)

Water in magic tends to either be fast and erratic, or consuming. Fast moving water leaves alot of spray which is dynamic, and *tends* to focus in one direction cause of how water works in real life (rivers tend to be straight due to water being very strong when thrown about. Think 1kg of water = 1 litre... or the American version... >.> ). The consuming version kinda glomps like glue and is scarier cause it has the dead water feel- you can breathe in white water, but dead water doesn't move, so has no air in it.

Well- I hope I make sence any who XD *falls over*

Goes back to modding T.T Siiiigh....

  Yes, I have Draggies In my pic. Evil little thing, i Canät draw them to save my lfe. XD.
  
  WOW. Thanks for the help. Oo I didnt actual -try- in this picture... i was more worried on the anatomy, then how the water actually looked.
  
  Actually: Question: (PS yes it made sense, but left a lot of holes in it...)
  What if its from A -still- Body of water, and Slow moving; lets say, not even A liter, (I dont do grams, i do leters. Im amercan DAMMIT) wouldnt it take Some sort of form? Shouldn't it be a bit 'easier' to get it in one direction, slowly?
  Because i was trying to make it look like a 'ribbon' Swirling around' her, Like, in the picture... Didnt try as hard as i should of, because as i said, more for anatomy help. XD.
  
  Anyways, thanks for the help. NOBODY Besides A friend of mine, has bothered to help me at all... T-T

  People are very reluctant to help to be honest >.> Unless you put in your comments thing that you want to be roasted, people wont usually give you constructive for two reasons- No time, and secondly, its SO easy to say it wrong and offend the person, and then get yelled at cause it was an old sketch or one they just drew for fun >.> Me personaly? I'll crit anyone that asks me cause I'm sick of giving crit and them not bothering to learn from it. So really, no offence, but its not just you ^^; My suggestion? Put in your comment that you want crit on specific things and label the pic as roast me. You labelled this as pot luck, so I wasn't sure if you'd care about my comment much ^^; You sounded abit like you would care in your comment, which is why I thought I'd try.
  
  Small body of water.... I'd say it'd make droplets of water with swirly magic around them. It'd be rather cute to see too ^^ Just, what ever option you do take, make sure it looks wild an chaotic. As your magic is right this second, it looks static cause it's all parallel and measured. Umm... this one isn't a finished pic or anything, but maybe it's clear enough to show what I mean- [thumb9706] I haven't done anything fancy to it beside a dodgy motion blur (wow- it looks so rude XD) but the droplets of water are kinda helixing around the two in the middle, the dark swirls outside the cloak are a different spell, but that's ok. Spells come in lots of different forms, and it all depends on what elements it incorporates to how it looks. [thumb6501] This one has a guy (Alex) using his power to form some dragon wings- I've made the wings white at the base, cause that's where the most energy would be- the flames off it gradually get reder cause they're moving away from the source- his back. [comic69] um... can't give a pretty link to the page, but page 9- in this, the world's protection is broken, so I'd say that the sky would look shattered, cause it is like the shield of the world in a sense. Page 23 also has an example of a wind power. That comic has alot of magic though I wont bore you with pointing it all out >.<

  For me too. Though at the moment, for some odd reason, Ive strayed more towards writing. BUt i still draw, just not as much as i used to.
  
  XD. At first I could only draw really bad females. I mean, they were almost stick figures... but i just kept adapting, and trying different styles... I'm still not to where i want to be, but im a TOTAL perfectionist. so Eh, theres teh explaination why when it doesnt turn out they way i want it to i ahte it.. No matter what anybody else says.

  You need to stop hating your art. Art should be fun If you don't enjoy drawing, then you're doing something wrong ^^
