Drawings and paintings

Yes, I deleted my old thread to start a new.

This will be stuff done by hand ONLY....no computer crap....not even to enhance it.

Picture #1....my ice cave painting.

It was a project for Art in my early Highschool days. The instructions were to pick out a picture of something in nature, either alive or landscape (or something of the sort) and to try to paint a copy of it. Welp...I chose this ice cave. I loved the different shades of blue and the depth of it. The actual picture I looked off of is in the lower right corner. This was my first time attempting something like this....not too shabby.

Excellent job Rachel. Looks very much like the original picture. I took a painting class way back in high school and couldn't paint that well on my best day. very nice.

Thanks. If you like that then you'll love my Moomba.

If you dunno what a moomba is...play Final Fantasy VIII

Moooooooommmmba!

That painting is awesome! It looks exactly like the moomba does in 8. I'm surprised the painting looks so accurate to the game, keep up the good work!

Thanks!

And here's that one you.....kinda....watched me draw. Didn't WATCH but we talked through it. How long did this take me?

Anyway....from Princess Mononoke....the wonderful leader of the Wolf tribe....Moro.

It was sad to see her die, wasn't it?
^-^ Very very nice.

And that Moomba is really cool looking and I definately like the style of it.

^_^ Thanks!

I'm gonna be scanning my pics now so you can get a better look. My first two were digi pics of 'em....but we got a scanner for Christmas so I can like....re-do them now.

I think I'll post my comic next. I used my two characters and SB's old RP character in it.

Nice work, Rachel.

What mediums did you use for the Moomba?

Hecate · 01-03-2006, 10:42 PM

Thanks!!

Just some acrylic paint on some canvas, Most of what is paint is acrylic. I have a Tempera or two...from my earliest works, some are pencil, some are colored pencil and/or crayon (low on choices during those) and I've done some pastel drawings but those were thrown out by mistake by my mother. I do some pen works too.

EDIT:
And here's the comic with My Characters (both my first and my second) and Meliegent....aka SB. Rachel and Meliegent, during our first roleplay together, got rather romantic....some of the older members may remember that.

Anyway...here is my comic.

SB...lemmie know if Meliegent is alright. I made him back when you told me a physical description of him, so this is what I got.

Haha... Interesting Captions you got goin' there. It's not exactly how I personally picture Meliegent but it's close. I didn't imagine him to be a cheating hoe though. Oh well, I guess he's just a ladies man? He'd prolly bang 'em both in the next panel.

Fun!

Hecate · 01-05-2006, 10:33 PM

Lol....remember how he was married to Rachel though? Then that rough spot happened and I created Mesatalia....then I wanted Mesa to be with him but he was married...and I needed to do a comic in school at that time so there's the result.

Here's my next one....the dotted dragon I had made for Raine back when he was Pyroblaze.

AND YES, MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN THE PIC OF THIS DRAGON. THAT IS WHAT I GOT IT OFF OF...IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A COPY. Stupid school projects.

*Setzer* · 01-05-2006, 11:22 PM

I think it's awesome! I like the use of 1 color. It in a cool way excenuates that outline and shape which I like...Good job!

Hecate · 01-06-2006, 10:35 AM

Well the dragon was all black....I wasn't allowed to do another color. That's what my instructor said to do.

Though....it didn't take me very long to dot it.

Coming up...as soon as I can scan at least most of it...is the dotted horses piece. It's STILL not done, I ran out of time to get it done so I no longer had access to the specific tool I needed and the nearest art supply store is too far away for my mom to run out to just get ONE thing.....so I was stuck

That one will be next....just gotta scan it.

I will start by saying that I do not know how to paint. So when I see paintings by someone who does paint, it impresses me. Heh. I especially like your moomba. It reminds me of... that one style. Yes, that one. ...oriental? Sure... let's say that. Even though that's very broad...

Your drawing of Moro from Mononoke is probably my favorite. I only wish I could draw a wolf that well, that wasn't supposed to be a cartoon character. Very good proportions. Probably because you went in depth with modeling the head and such, first (I don't even remember exactly what that technique is called, or how you do it anymore...)

That dragon is cool, too. How did you do that? Something about dots? I don't know what that is... probably because I've only taken an illustrations class recently.

Anyway, I like your work. I shake your hand *shakes your hand*
