Saronya Commission

Woot!  I did it!  This is (I think) the finished version of one of my commissions for a friend in Alberta.  I've been terribly slow getting it done, but I finially cracked down and did it.

*deep breath*  Goodness me am I ever tired.  Time to go create a world or something light.

      Laughing Well, she's a far stretch away from the titanic, my friend, seeing as how she's made with far less metal and a lot more sails and ropes. Wink

      I'm glad you like it!

          *grin* I get bad wanderlust. Unfortunately, I haven't the means to sate it yet... So I just plan with Jon, and think that someday, eventually, we'll get to go somewhere else....

          Yes, if I had time, I definitely would be looking through everything, leaving my comment trail. As it is, I get to see almost everything, but I don't have time to leave proper critiques.

          Much love, ducky.

      Aw, thanks! Wood is really really easy. It's just a bunch of near-parallel lines scribbled along the grain. I'm glad you like the drawing, dahling!
      • Mallie3
        Apr 23, 2006, 12:00:59 PM UTC
        So you just make some parallel lines and then...what? I need to know it is for something I am drawing and I am kinda stuck because of the mean wood! And no problem hun. *huggles*
        • Minimaid
          Apr 23, 2006, 12:58:35 PM UTC
          well, honestly - I just scribbled lines that went in the same direction as the wood grain. Smile What kind of wood do you need? Just planks? What will they be on?

            Apr 23, 2006, 2:19:13 PM UTC

              Do you have a picture of your work so far that you could send me?
              • Mallie3
                Apr 23, 2006, 2:21:47 PM UTC
                Yes I do...I haven't scanned much of my art work just because I haven't really had a nice time with my scanner...it doesn't like me anymore...and so I really only have my friends to show. I can try and scan it right now and show you if you would like?

                  Sure. I'd be able to help you better if I had some idea of what you were trying to achieve.

    Wow this is awesome Robin. Now go rest your hands! They must be in pain.
    • Minimaid
      Apr 20, 2006, 11:39:31 AM UTC
      Embarrassed Actually, it's just the one finger that's in pain. I think I can get a couple concept sketches for the next painting done today. Wink

        Oh ok well make sure that one finger doesn't over work itself.

    O.O Oh my goodness, lovey... look what you did! It looks so faboolus. Yes Those ropes look so awesome! You can pretty much see all the knot work. Lordy, lordy. And the planks of wood really look like planks of wood. Worship You know you are a Goddess of art, right? Well, if not, now you do. Smile That kid really seems to be enjoying himself(?). I hope it is a boy. Otherwise it is a very unfortunate girl as far as umm, chest structure goes. Smile I just love this drawing hun. It looks like you spent alot of time on it and it is just really pleasant to look at. Plus it brings back alot of memories of the ocean for me. And now I miss it. Cry Love you sweetie. MMMMMMMMMMWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Man, I am a good kisser. Laughing

      Thank you so much, my darling wife!

      Yes - I drew in all the rope coils and everthing. I've made a minor adjustment to the picture since I posted yesterday, to fix the perspective of the 'rope ladder', if you will, to the left. You can see the twisting and everything now.

      The child is a little girl. She's not supposed to have any chest, since she's only 9 in the picture, but it's GOOD that you thought she was a boy. She's trying to masquerade as one, you see. It makes getting around as a stowaway much easier if you can be accepted as a dockhand.

      Much love, darling - and yes - you give excellent kisses! Mwah! *hugs*

    Hi Minimaid! It's me, Piglet. I really like this one. You've gone through some pains to get all the shading done and haven't cut any corners. I particularly admire the perspective you've achieved in the boat... something I have always had trouble with. Good job! 3 gold starsSmile StarStarStar

      I very rarely cut corners in commission work. If I try, it always seems to come out all wrong. Thank you so much for your kindness! I'm glad you like my work. Wink
