Roth - Linework

Posted Aug 18, 2005, 6:59:55 AM UTC

Ok, Lloyd, I need your go-ahead again. I started from scratch, but I like this version far better. What do you think? I felt I needed to close in on the figure more, fix his head size, and give him the detailing, and this is what happened. I'm at the part now where I can start shading and adding patterns, if you think he looks proper.

Note: Credit for sword design goes to Alvin A. Balajadia (Lloyd's friend).

  If the request is something that inspires me and I haven't got a million other things on the go, I do. I do commissions far more readily, though. As of late, I've had an extremely full plate.

Yes Robin...go go go! But uh...where are you going? well, anywhoo, I like this version of Roth much better too. I think you have done a wonderful job closing in on the character. You can feel his emotion in it better than the last one. I absolutely LOVE the sword. I think I shall marry it. Great work hun. You never fail to amaze me. All my love.

  Go go go! To the couch, I think, with my pencil. The sword design is from Lloyd's drawing "Roth's Divorce". I can't and won't take credit for it, because it's not mine! *poke* I love you too! Goodnight.

  Hey! Stop poking me! You'll make me giggle like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. I thought that sword seemed vaguely familiar now that I look at it again. Actually, I didn't. I am lying. I really didn't remember it from Lloyd's drawing. But that is only because I had that labotomy I told you about earlier. Sorry Lloyd. I was trying to give Robin all of your credit. Oh well. I am just going to take my orange nose and finish my cheetos. All my love Robin. Mwah!

  In recent news, Alvin A. Balajadia designed the original Roth sword! I'm going to be putting that up in my description tout de suite. *lick's your nose* Mmmm, cheese.

  Nope, no fish. Don't worry, I wouldn't force fish on you, my love, I'd eat them myself! YuM!
  
  Tout de suite means most literally (That I can think of with my rusty French) "All of swift". So basically, "in all haste".

  Oh thank goodness, youwouldn't make me eat fish. I don't like fish. Unless of course they are marinated in Kaluah. Remember? Those are the bestest kinds. and thank you for your translation. I only speak french fry. All my love.

  ANYthing marinated in Kaluah is automatically cooler.
  
  I've never tried speaking to a French fry. is it difficult?
  
  My love right back! Love, your husband, Mr. Butmer.

  Oh well French Fry language (otherwise known as "spud" It is a little different than most other languages. You have to put a handful of french fries in your mouth in order to speak it properly. It is rather fun I must say. Love you too. Mrs. Butmer.

  I must try this some time... It would be easier if I ate French fries more often.

  Actually, luv, if you read more closely, this is the fix up of his previous head-size mistake. Do you still see a problem? When I measured it things looked fine, but just because measurements are correct doesn't mean that the drawing will look right. Of course - shading might fix it. :S uh oh.
  
  Mwah back! Thanks for the comment, hun. It's good to hear from you - haven't seen you in a while.

  lol, oups, well i feel like theres something wrong in the head and shoulders area (feels like a shampoo ad Like you said, maybe its the lack of shading that gives a 'weird' look. I'll be sure to check it out once it is done. Hugs and kisses!

  I think what you're seeing is where the hair overlaps the neck - and I agree, it looks odd right now. But I think it will be remedied in the shading. Now Lloyd's given me the go-ahead in that area, I'll be able to find out!

*gasp* I don't know about Lloyd, but man, I this. There's so much emotion; he looks as though he's finally ready to throw in the towel. Wow...Dang it! I'm going to have all of your work in my favorites!

  Well, that wouldn't be so bad. But your favourites might be a little crowded. I have over 50 artworks on this site now.
