I've been slowly working on this picture since Winter Solder came out, and was surprised what I was reminded that I hadn't updated this picture in a while- so here's an update! Hopefully I'll stum up the energy to finish this one off this year :) 

Been trying out the 5 pencil method making this one, and it's really looking nice for it :D So many textures and tones!

    You are a pencil GODDESS.

    Really looking forward to more updates Big Smile

      Awe- thank you Smile He makes such a lovely reference which really helps ^^ Hopefully I can have the foreground done this year. I'm having an art dry spell at the moment with the move. My health is giving me a kick around the place cause of the move. I hope I'll have more energy again once I'm over my current stuff though Smile One month is enough time to recover from moving house I think ^^

      We'll need to hang out again when you're free Big Smile (If it's ok and you're not too busy TuT )

    Solid shading so far, and a quite intense expression. I look forward to seeing what this looks like complete. Smile

      I do too XD HAHAH XD Yeah- it's been a while in the process. Me and art have been a bit funny for a few years now cause of my health. I do intend on finishing it though Smile Hopefully I can get onto it when I'm fully settled into my new flat Smile

        *nods* Life happens. It's cool to see what you've got going on so far in any case - and best wishes for your health and the move. Smile

          Well, the move happened at the beginning of the month, and apparently the area I moved to is notorious for ants. Like... everywhere XD I spent the first week or more freaking out at being an ant highways D: That was... dramatic. It's wound back to 1 or 2 ants thankfully, which I can tolerate. The biggest problem I have now is adjusting to being in a new flat and life style. Not sure how long it'll take, but it's going to be so beneficial for me I think TuT

          Thank you though- I hope I learn how to adult well here. I have way more freedom than I use to have. I hope it's going to do me some greater good in the long run for my health TuT
          • Feb 22, 2016, 2:53:25 AM UTC
            Oooooh dear. Ant trouble's - not fun. <.< Glad it's died down at least.

            I haven't really gotten much adulting done myself - mostly studenting and arting and politely ignoring that adulting is a thing I should be working on doing by now. :p
            • Feb 22, 2016, 4:00:50 AM UTC
              Mostly yeah. We're coming up to Autumn though so that may be why it's gone down XD We're experimenting with ant bait though cause we think we have a nest in the house. I'm glad the flat is pro-active getting rid of them at least Smile

              I can't get away without learning to adult. I have dietary requirements from my adrenal fatigue, where I have to have a low FODMAP diet essentially, and pretty much everyone that has ever catered for me has yelled at me for my diet. I wont go into the details, but all the fun, socially acceptable stuff to eat? Can't have it. My goal is to learn how to make foods that I can eat. Heck- maybe others will like it too in case I do the flat group meal thing again, and everyone can eat what I do and enjoy it #lifegoals

              Sorry if that was a downer, but it's just been a lot of years that I've had this diet, and I'm not sure if anyone realizes how worn out their words have made me. They all want me to feel loved and included, but sometimes it's just easier if I can do my own thing >.>
              • Feb 22, 2016, 5:26:18 AM UTC
                Here's hoping your ants stay their distance when the weather warms up again. Smile (My current weather is Supposedly Winter Acting Like Spring.)

                That's rough. >.<
                Not too much of a downer - don't have a problem with people letting off a little steam. And it seems like you've had a lot to deal with.
                Best luck in the Cooking Invention endeavors. Smile
                • Feb 22, 2016, 9:10:54 PM UTC
                  omg I hope they do too >.<

                  Thank you- my health is an awkward subject, and I'm use to it being received negatively, even from my parents. My ex flatmate didn't believe in adrenal fatigue cause science hadn't studied it enough (or my method of healing it- homeopathy. He doesn't know what I was like before the homeopathy though T.T ) and thought I had Aspergers syndrome (I don't), and my other flatmate thought I needed to be put on suppliments and drugs cause my fight and flight responses were screwed up (she was wrong- there were reasons for my fight and flight to be triggered every time), and they both tried to convince me I had psychological problems that I didn't have. It's been.... messed up. I'll stop talking about that though, cause I've moved on. My new flatmates understand that homeopathy is healing me, that I have dietary requirements, and that I have adrenal fatigue. It's something that will eventually heal- I just need to not be constantly overloading them with stuff to deal with, and it's all stuff you take for granted- sugars, stress, exercise, eating foods that are difficult to digest, sleeping bugger all, stimulants like coffee (omfg- I had 5+ a day black coffees- I was so bad) or alcohol.... so many things. I use to do all of these and love it.

                  Thank you- I look forward to what I learn :3 I do love food ^^ One cool thing about the adrenal fatigue is it forces me to buy high quality foods only, and I tell you what- worth it. So not all of it is bad Wink

    Wow! Amazing work Arkillian.
    • Feb 21, 2016, 11:57:11 PM UTC
      Thanks, hon TuT I hope I can finish this soon. It's always sad to see WIP pictures that I haven't lost the want to continue them not get finished. I'm just waiting till life settles down again and I'm drawing again. It's... taking a while >.<
  • Feb 17, 2016, 3:34:38 PM UTC
    Holy smokes! *_*
    • Feb 21, 2016, 11:58:43 PM UTC
      Smokes? Fire? NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Oh No!

      I take it that you liked it though XD Thank you Smile
      • Feb 24, 2016, 1:16:50 AM UTC
        XD Yes, it's fantastic! I love pencil work, I just don't have the patience for it myself. So I have to sit and admire everyone else's amazing pencils. XD Like this!
        • Feb 24, 2016, 10:05:40 AM UTC
          Ah- patience I can do if I like the subject matter Smile Most of my drawings have some degree of pencil in it- it's my favourite medium <3 I just love working with it and it's results so much <3
          • Feb 25, 2016, 2:09:32 AM UTC
            Pencil is probably my favorite to work with too, but it's become less convenient since I wandered into the realm of parenthood and all that. Much easier to do everything digitally, where little helping fingers won't smudge my work. Nothing compares to the beauty of pencil work, though. <3
            • Mar 2, 2016, 10:34:05 PM UTC
              Ah- that makes sense. There are programs now says that can mimic traditional media well. It's nothing quite like the release thing though. It always surprises me when I haven't seen my art in 6 months how cool it looks, and reinspires me to do another pencil pic. I've worked so hard to get colours right that I haven't used it in a while. I love pencil a lot Smile
  • Feb 17, 2016, 7:57:13 AM UTC
    Wow this is amazing, it's easy to see a lot of effort has gone into this, so much detail and textures.
    • Feb 22, 2016, 12:01:27 AM UTC
      Thank you Smile I was trying out the 5 pencil technique on it. It's a really cool method cause it keeps all the textures of pencil that I love, but still remains smooth from a distance Smile the tapered stroke can be a bit tiring for my hand though so it takes a while to do. I'm still getting use to it. So far so good though Smile It's really cool to see tonal range in my graphite pictures- I use to be super contrasty which isn't great XD I need to finish this when I'm settled in my new flat. It's been a pretty wild few years for me since I started this ^^;
  • Feb 17, 2016, 6:07:24 AM UTC
    that is awesome !
    • Feb 22, 2016, 12:08:13 AM UTC
      Thank you Smile I hope I can finish this once I've settled in to my new flat. It always frustrates me that this isn't finished yet ^^; It's in my folder I go to do art stuff with and it's starting to get soft edges so I'm really worried that I'll damage it if I don't finish it soon and move it permanently to the done folder :/ I have a few like this T.T *is actually the worst T.T My Tron picture is glaring at me for the same reason D:
