Well, i thought to myself... why not join the cool kids? Especially seeing that most of my art isn't EQ art. To tell the truth, drawing is something I haven't done on a regular basis since I was fourteen, which is six years. Now I'm drawing again.
Here are the first I drew.
Andrea (Needs a new name, she is of Spanish descent and there it is a male name.)
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/003.jpg)
Eridan Ampora from Homestuck

The others were drawn after my father was put in rehab.
Donald Duck

Actually, these pictures make me interested in reading the story behind this. I am quite pleasantly surprised to see something entirely different here like Donald Duck.
By the way, did you like to color with water colors?
-
Most of this is actually fanart. Homestuck is a web comic which sometimes is a game. Link: http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6 (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6) Very long, (5997 pages, and still in progress.) But worth reading. The author has a knack of portraying complex characters through speech, thoughts and actions. The art varies quite much, sometimes it's chibi like, other times not.
Donald Duck is just too fun to draw, especially when he is angry. XD
Andrea is one of mine, a character in a universe I'm writing through articles, interviews and diary. Haven't got them to fully kick yet, due to the fact that my characters argue when ether its a war or at the brink of one.
Watercolor was very fun. Different from what I'm used to for sure. Haven't been doing it much since I got it, since what I've drawn lately hasn't been things that I've been so pleased with that I do not dare to use them in fear of destroying it. Though one of them are colored with the pencils, so f I get the confidence I'll do it.
Speaking of which, here are todays drawings.

Have some more art.

This was very quickly drawn when I should have gone to bed. It is a cougar leaping, as you can see.

I'm just posting a link since it is mature rated. More or less. Remember that blue skinned creature in first post? Their race is a little complicated. When they are born, their skin is red and very slowly they come blue. They are inspired by stars. According to what my school teacher in Science told me, the light we see from the stars is from the past. A red-white star means it is closer, therefore the light is younger than a blue-white. As a stargazer myself, I find that fascinating. So i used it.
Now, onto the piece itself. They come out in two categories, those with two horns and those with only one. This has nothing to do with genders. To make love, they connect their horns together. If you want children, one must be one with one horn, and one with two. Who bears the child depends entirely on who has the will to do so. In this case, it is the red one. They are old enough to do so when the base of their eyes are magenta/purple. By that time you have to do it on a regular basis. If not the horn will grow so big that you risk snapping your neck due to the weight. You will also get a lot of nasty comments both behind your back and to your face, since it is frowned upon.

I'm working on drawing masks again, but will most likely not show them to anyone, since I might sell the drawings on Desucon next year. So I'll show you one which could be a very cool mask, if it was made. Won't sell this drawing, as it still qualifies as Homestuck fanart.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Mothergrub.jpg)
And one more, who I kind of forgot. She is a sort of religious servant who takes care of a temple. When people come to visit, she usually follows them around. She is lonely a lot, and when there s people around she has a constant grin on her face.

Idea of color

The colors are made with a blue Stabilo 0,4 mm pen and a blue Faber Castell Pitt pen.

In Homestuck I'm a big fan of the Exiles. I've come to notice that usually, one draws either Wayward Vagabond, Peregrine Mendicant or Windswept Questant, while Aimless Renegade and Writ Keeper are usually not portrayed as often.
Not that I don't understand why.
Wayward Vagabond is at first glance a goofy person, with a lot of dept. He raised a rebellion against the ceaseless war between Derse and Prospit, and was witness to a slaughter of not only the Black King but all of his friends. After this he has displayed a survivors guilt and is very hard on himself whenever he commits a mistake or gets stupid thoughts. He is also hard on other's display of stupidness. He calls himself a mayor, and wants to bring justice, as the founder of Can Town. He talks to you in a rude manner, he distrusts and dislikes royalty, he is a vegetarian and freaks out for seemingly no reason.
Peregrine Mendicant is a plain Jane. A letter carrier who will do whatever is needed to do her duty. The mail shall be delivered, even if she must kill. This was sadly the reason why Jack became so powerful, he asked her to give him the white queen's ring and white kings scepter in exchange for a package a man of law had confiscated. This was something he always asked, because someone actually doing it was hilarious. He didn't expect her to do it. With those things given, he rose to power. Unlike the Vagabond, she is very polite. She is appointed to be a queen herself, and is told to bring Jack to justice.
Windswept Questant was once the white Queen of Prospit. She is the prettiest of the Exiles, her carpace isn't as dirty as the other's. When PM came to her, explaining the bargain she had made, the queen abdicated, and gave PM the ring. She lived in a world of constant war, but seems to care for her people. Or does she? When she shows up in the game, she appoints PM, who was once her citizen to Queen. She becomes the royal advisor, having first hand experience, and tells the new queen that it is her duty to rebuild the kingdom in this new land (Earth) and put Jack to justice. This makes many ask questions about her motives. If Jack is put to justice, will she take the throne away from PM?
Aimless Renegade is the only other from Derse. He was a regulator, ensuring law to be followed. He confiscated a package, which was given to Jack Noir. So he can be percieved as one of the people responsible of the exile. He is obsessed with justice, but in the more violent form than the others. A carnivore. He saw that someone was sleeping during the fall. He stapped the person to the flight board and rescued said person. He could have died. He tried assassinate both PM and WV, but seems to have a crush on the former.
But still, people know more about the others than him. Rather sad. :(
So i had to draw him. But messed up. I use my Pitt pens quite like markers. Not sure if that is either cost efficient or smart, but it gives a lovely strong color. Still love my color pencils, but it comes better off on my scan if I use the pens. I didn't think that using the black pen for text might be a bad idea. It was, smearing together rather nastily. Thought that even a unsuccessful drawing was better than nothing. And I'm a fan of showing people how one can fail.

For this piece I kind of wanted to not have any more lines than the ones in the cloth already. It is my fourth attempt to color with my Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pens.

A ballpoint pen drawing, one of the chaps on the sketch dump I had. It is Eridan Ampora from a AU where everyone is on a facility for mental illnesses.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/EridanJustsayinggetbetterballpoint.jpg)
My avatar. Very much in spired by Eridan Ampora in said AU story. Not quite him though. If I'd ever write a story for my version, it would be much about learning to shine in one's own light... which I wished Eridan to do in canon, but never did.

After seeing some pen art done by http://owlings.deviantart.com/gallery/ (http://owlings.deviantart.com/gallery/) I wanted to try my hand at it.
I was thinking about people having OCD when doing this. I know some people who has it, and I think it is sad that they have to deal with it. At the same time ones tries to be supportive. Dealing with them when they have the "why couldn't I be like you" looks is rather painful, so is knowing that they blame you for not being perfect after their standards. You know it is the OCD which does that, yet it doesn't always help.
Enough about that. I call it "A crow into a tree"

Oooh, the colors really came out nicely! I actually had the chance to try out the Faber Castell pens at the super art store I discovered last week.
I think I would really love those for inking, but I also had difficulties at filling a bigger space with an even color. So kudos for handling these so well!
-
Aw, thanks. I was actually surprised to hear people having trouble with them. For me they work alright. Need to be a little careful of course, but all in all I don't think it is that hard. First try ever wasn't that good I admit. But I just smashed colors on top on it, so ain't surprised that didn't work.

:love
I have to say I think this is your bet one yet. Star.
He looks lovely bewildered. :)
-
:D I love drawing Eridan, and that one is one of my favorites, especially because it was a ballpoint pen drawing. I know the lines are rough and not the smooth and beauty of my last add, but it seems more alive with rougher lines. So me happy you like!
-
The rough lines is why I like it. :lol
-
:D
I tried to make some smooth lines again. I rather like this one.

Tried making my troll oc again. Pink is my true color, the one to my shadow self. But my character said a very loud no to be a sea dweller. Which she would be if she had pink blood. So I made her a blue-blood.

Your name is Teskje Skriva. You are six solar sweeps old. You have varity of interests, but mostly writing. You have six hundred writing books and write everywhere you go. However none of your stories ever finish. You have a passion for the sea, but you dare not go too close, in case you meet a seadweller. You have a fondness for drawing, but you aren't good at it. It is the only thing you allow yourself to hate. You are destined to become the Prince of Hate. You are not sure why you are going to be a prince when you are in fact female. You have no quadrants filled. You steal things when you are not drawing or writing about the ocean.
-
She looks very much like a male. XD Shouldn't there be 6 letters in each name?
-
D'oh! Yes, you're right.
I'm rather androgenous in body. You see I'm female now because I have boobs now. Before that they were so small and I dress in loose clothing, so no one saw. Tried to generate that in her.
-
Awww. XD
Btw, you want a link to the troll maker I used?
You steal things when you are not drawing or writing about the ocean.
I'm going to take a wild guess and state she'd steal Atalus' jacket a lot?

In that moment you excuse yourself, and leave the dinner table. Quickly depart the restaurant, seeking the comfort of a pristine bathroom. Luckily all of the doors have the white streak on them. Turning towards the mirror, you stare into wide eyes. Inhale, you think. Exhale. Remember the smell of a forest cleansed by water. Inhale.
You are getting worse.
Once you'd order the burger. Homemade with beef ground in the restaurant. Two strips of rich smoked bacon on top. A salad made of sprouts, grilled bread with a very thin glaze of balsam vinegar. Father would smile and speak to you in the most terrible voice. As if you were a child. You would ignore it of course, because it is way more fun to deliberately eat food which is bad for you when others stress it.
Perhaps it is the exam again, sneaking up on you. Cannot be safe, not even in the mountains. Turning the tap towards the blue side, you soak your hands in water. It is only a temporary escape, but your mind goes all kinds of quiet. In that moment you don't even miss your beloved iPod.
A moment later, you turn the water off. Taking one last look at your acne infested face, cursing the period for the fifth time, you go back to your seat. The waiter comes as soon as you've done that, looking at you with curious pity. Most likely thinking that you are bulimic.
Your eyes narrow.

Sort of illustration to above story. Happened to me on the 23 rd of November. Usually i keep off those things, but that night was just after a really terrible night sitting up crying, and I felt... like I was functioning again.
-
Bah. Should work on my new norwegian short story. Exam is not far away, and i still haven't been able to deliver anything for the course, always something comes up and makes me into a shivering mess.
Did some lazy edits on the same base on above post.

This one was a challenge. Usually when editing pixels, I start from dark to light. It is easier to not make them too wide from each other that way. Here, with the strings, I tried from light to dark, seeing that I was going to use white. Corel Paintshop isn't kind on grey and white colors, way too easy to delete the lines by accident.

Tried drawing Donald Duck again. I love doing different poses of him, especially the more challenging ones, where he is running, jumping or lying on the stomach looking very displeased. ::)
What I was trying to draw. The pose was chosen because of the way he holds his arms and hands.
http://www.supercoloring.com/pages/donald-duck-coloring-page/ (http://www.supercoloring.com/pages/donald-duck-coloring-page/)
What came of mine. Some places I inked the wrong line, and the left arm had to be taken away in photoshop because it looked so awful.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/donaldrunning.jpg)
-
This started out as a try to loosen my grip. Usually I hold the pencil and the pen in a iron grip. Which ends in me having craps. Today I managed to not do it. Yay!
Colored with color pencil and Faber Castell Pitt Artist pen.

I really like the design of this guy. The lineart looks lovely rounded. (Compared to the Duck drawing which is very straight looking ) I really love the hood. Any plans to add shadows under it?
What is he?
-
Thanks! Yeah, I like the lineart better here. The Donald one is entirely without sketching.... one of my "clever" ideas popping into my mind at one am. ::)
I'm not quite sure what he is. Sort of a northern cyclops is my closest guess. Who aparantly likes Enigma.
Tried some shading. :)
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Ifonly.jpg)
-
:yeahthat awesome!Adds much more depth to him.
-
I was very surprised how well it turned after the shading. Thanks for reminding me.
By the way, the paper is 100 % organic and 50 % elephant poo.
Just thought I had to inform everyone about that.
-
By the way, the paper is 100 % organic and 50 % elephant poo.
Ahhhh, that explains a couple of things. :lol
-
I really love that paper. Outside the cool texture, drawing on it is a wonder to me. I have a problem with lines, I keep presseng my pencil too hard. Erasing is very easy on this.
This is something which Kvitulven allowed me to do. She does a lot of pen art, and let me practice the same here. After finally getting myself a 0.1 mm pen. Which I used here. The symbol on the shirt was filled in with a 0.4 mm pen. Which I accidentally broke when there was shouting on tv.
I present to you, the Prince of Hope.

Decided to color my Donald is running drawing. Decided to do two editions. One in GIMP, because they have the paintbucket, which I'm so used to from dollmaking that I have a hard time living without it. The hading was done with the airbrush, but didn't use the fuzzy brushes...
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/donaldrunning-1.jpg)
And one with color pencils.

-
Oh yeah! I like the way your lines are turning out. Nice flow of thicker and thinner lines. I think some drawing exercise to loosen your hand is also a very good idea. It makes for more fluidity and maybe you'll also feel more relaxed while drawing.

Upon Treefox's request, I've uploaded my only comic. This was actually my first story outside the assignments given at school. My stories never finished those days, because I wrote by hand, and I held the pen in an iron grip. Halfway down the first page, I'd get cramps, and then reluctantly put it down. When I could write again, I had lost motivation.
Anyway. This story took place in the US. Why? Because I was going to visit that place in a year when I wrote this. The idea was a dark urban fantasy story, where the soul of a girl called Aria, who was there on holiday, was split into tiny pieces. After the son of one of the greatest magicians and werewolf slayers found one piece, they both embarked on a quest to regain all the pieces and restore her full soul. Unfortuneatly, the souls had grown by the time she got to them, and in the end she ended up in a closed ward, supposedly having Multiple Personality disorder.
There was only four story lines which ended well, and I decided to do them first.
If this had a title, it would be Dark Encounters, knowing my old self ;)

It's pretty dark! But I like how they stand on top of those houses and little EQ influences in it. Also, it looks like a looot of work! Did you feel comfortable drawing with a ballpoint pen? Because, as I probably have mentioned somewhere, I had a phase in which I absolutely loved drawing with ballpoint!
Thanks for posting it!
-
Oh yeah, ballpoint pens were my life! And I was sporting the idea that you were the best ever if you only used ballpoint pens. Still love using them, though it happens far less these days.
Yeah, that storyline was one of the few which ended happily... despite having it's fair share of darkness. ::) If I'd ever ought to pick it up again, I'd do the story where she meets the Lady of the Sea, and will do what it takes to not harm it or their creatures, even protect it if needed to get one of her spliced soul pieces back.

Art dump!

Having trouble uploading on the site of late, 'I'll dump this one here.
nilla said that if anyone felt bored, they were free to color her pics.
Willowgreen. I love this character. she was always so frightened, and yet she was Two-Spear's mate, and stood beside him. She cleansed the splinter tribe's wolfblood. What drove her to do this?
Skin colored with copics, eyes with faber castell artist pen, inked rest is all watercolor baby.

Another one of the Eridan which Kvitulven allowed me to try penning. Forgot to use the purple fineliner at his sign. First time I used my 0.3 mm pen on this.

I really like what you did with the Willowgreen picture. Very nicely handled.

Thank you, Kitt. I'm glad it looks good, considering that it is my second try ever at watercoloring. :)

Aaawww that little pirate chibi with it's chibi peg leg!
-
I just couldn't resist drawing a peg leg on him. :D
I actually used to be very into pirates. Had books about them, sang their songs and knew The Code almost by heart. I even got me hands on a very expensive book written by an expert on the field, but alas, it was sold when I was staying in Lillehammer.

Meet Irene. She used to be Andrea's first girlfriend. She is of South African descent. Her mother left her abusive husband and took her three year old daughter with her. When she was five they ended up in Norway. They lived in Verdalen for ten years, which is why both mother and daughter has a strong accent. Her mother works as a chef, and got an offer to work in Oslo, which she took. Irene meet Andrea while both were attending Senior High, and were together for two years. Unlike Andrea she isn't lesbian, she is bisexual.
Personality wise, she is very honest, which makes her slightly unpopular. She likes being active. Is inclined to ask you on a workout date on the first. First date she and Andrea was on, they rappelled. Been working since she was sixteen, wants to be a psychologist. Very loyal to her friends. She has a pirate fetish, and loves roleplaying that everywhere. Especially in bed.
These days Irene and Andrea aren't together, but they share an apartment with another friend, working and studying.

This one was very fun. For the Color Me Contest. The idea was to keep the lines, but you could edit the colors. Everything but the grass and the glowy hands were done in Paint. The other was photoshopped.

I like them both! I like the name Irene, she looks spiffy!
-
Thanks Treefox! Been looking for Irene since I drew Andreas, her former girlfriend, in early July. And suddenly she knocked on my door. :lol I'm pretty happy with her, especially the hair. It is harder to make straight hair look real than curly or short. and there was no shading on the base, which you probably can see. Trying to learn to not trust the shading on the bases these days.

So, I went to Grandma to fatten up with non lowcarb food. I did some art of course...
First, a sugolup. On the train there was these elderly ladies, all of them from the same neighbourhood, having a social gathering on the train. They talked very loudly and kept disturbing me away from Goethe's Faust.
So I took my pencil, and started drawing. I drew this backwards, which means, I started on the boots and worked on the thigh. I used to own a horse, wanted to be a breeder on the side of being an author, so I used to draw horses a lot, first traced and then on my own. I love the cirve on their hind legs, in fact the whole hind leg is very pleasing to my eyes. And I often go a little over board like here. But this wasn't aimed for realism, so I'm sort of safe. ;)
It is three legged horse creature like, mostly minding it's own business... however, their feet have healing power. Bother then and they will either gorge you with their horn, or kick you, and break something. Which will mend incorrectly and cause a lot of pain. Everything but the sky was done in fineliners, which the scanner ate :(

When I first got me hands on the sandman issues, I was so excited of finally getting to read it properly that I missed that the Dream King can make one insomniac. If he wants to. So in the painful waiting of getting enough money to buy more of this series, I made my own character, Insomnia, his dark sister. She had no eyes, but a nose, never rested and was inclined to rape and kill to hold her victims in her grasp. She had a song, sung in comfortable tones, but basically said "I am his sister and I will take your life."
It was suposed to be an elf, hence the corny ears, but it went down the drain. So reuse time! Fineliner all of it.

I had the idea to make something stamp like right after I got a ruler. Drew the Stamp outline, and then one of my lazy turtles, which I can whip up in no time at all and is something comfortable to draw. However, I did one mistake the whole time I was working on it, I drew it this way:
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/TurtlewayIworked.jpg)
And not the way it was suposed to flow, which was this. I cannot unsee the above one.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Turtlewayitwasmeanttostand.jpg)
-
You surely drew a couple of very stylish things. I just gotta love that horse. That is all kinds of awesome.
I also used to draw during train rides, but always found it difficult to do. So kudos!
-
Oh dear, I didn't see your comment Treefox! :-[ Sorry about that.
I love drawing in cars and trains, it is fun, because your arm will do sporadic movements. It makes it a lot more interesting. But I must admit that the ones in the car are usually very much trash fooder. XD
Okay, some drawings up here.
First, I must tell ya a secret. I. Rarely. Sketch. It usually goes from a few lines, and then straight to lineart. I don't know why, I rather like it rough and dirty in drawings.
Tried the lomis method.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Lomistrypencil.jpg)
Inking went to hell, so no upload of that.
For Christmas, I got a iPad. Within a few days, I developed a sickly obsession with it. Or so ther claims. Anyway, I tried drawing with it in a program called DrawCast. It is mighty fun, but cleaning up the sketch usually looks ugly, so you guys get to see them in their sketchy and rough glory.

Nepeta. (and first Homestuck fanart in almost two months)

And this guy, whom I am considering to either fuse him into one of my many stories or make one centered on him.

Decided to make my own Da icons, and used Paint for an obscure reason...
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Tree.png)
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Paw.png)
And of real art, I tackled a illustration to one of my favorite singers song. Santa on a Helicopter...
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Santaonahelicopter.jpg)
Ink, copic and watercolor...
-
Using my gifts, I drew some comical cats in different poses. And named them. Even gave them personalities... or, rather, they talked to me. ;D
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Imitationoflife.jpg)
1. Moses, a religious cat, focused on spreading the word of Christ and "protecting" his owner Melissa.
2. Hani, a bashful lady cat. (Suposed to be more orange like than red, but didn't have anything better than poppy red marker.)
3. Fleur, rich lady cat.
4. Poo, constantly getting paint over him, lives on the street.
Colored with letraset markers and a touch of copic.
-
1. Moses, a religious cat, focused on spreading the word of Christ and "protecting" his owner Melissa.
Surely you mean Ceiling Cat, not this Christ person. :lol
Kidding, you made some damn adorable cats. ^^ Hani is my favorite.
-
Ceiling cat, heh, I like that.
Thanks. I loved drawing these animals, they were fun. Thinking about maybe making a comic with these characters, if I can get a orange marker which doesn't smell like perfumed oranges. Or more colors if possible in letraset, I like these better than copics, though I do see the benefits of them.
-
Colored the Harry drawing which nilla/Vojira/Muse-of-Chaos/Dj Ambient Freak made. My photoshop has mucked up, so cropping this in a size which was okay to color and not 2 cm tall was a challenge. And Scanner took away most of my shading. D:
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/ColorNillaHarry.jpg)
Copic for skin, black pencil, and Promarkers.
-
I love it, Star! ;D The shading and the eye looks really good. (was the first thing that caught my eye )
I'm surprised you got red, yellow and blue to work that well together! Nicely done job! :)
-
You should have seen the original, the shading was way better there than here. :-\ The only thing which the scanner didn't wound was the undershirt. It was a tad too dark in the real one. But I guess that is a common predicament. :P
-
Hehe, yeah, scanners tend to eat some layers of drawings.
-
Agreed! The colors are strong and good. Fits together very well!
-
Oh, forgoy to say, that red and gold was mostly because everyone dresses him up in it because he is a Gryffindor. School robes are fine, but else it gets tiring. Since yours is a Raven, it didn't bother me as much. Blue/red, red/green, blue/yellow, and green/brown was all wrong. (One was Christmassy, one was Swedish, another patriotic and another boring.) As for the shirt, I took everything which wasn't green, (no, I don't want to compliment his eyes.) And blue happened to be it. XD
Also, bright colors on snakes in nature means that one is dangerous. He is psycotic and Rawenclaw's Scare, so I thought, why not.
-
Still playing around with my markers... and discovered something totally awesome, something I didn't know was possible, and most of ya will laugh your ass' off. I discovered... blending. Not the blender, but how to blend two colors to get that lovely, smooth which you find in flowers. Not that mine is that good, just that I found out how to do it.

This one is the one I'm working on right now. Mostly finished, only, I need some suggestions of light source, and wing color, I can't for the life of me figure out either of them. :-[
-
O,o now that's a beauty! Maybe a bit on big side (then again, what do I know), but the colouring looks fantastic!
-
Heh, that's my scanner. It always either makes things enormous, or display a tiny size which hurts to use. Even when using the plus to show 100 % size in PS. XD It makes things far more interesting.
-
Kek, chotic scanner. :lol
-
Oh, and the markers I have used are copic (E000) on the skin, Promarkers on the rest. Flower: Orchid, powder blue (two to the layers) and pear green. Hair: tan, three layers and one layer of honeycomb on the hair holders. On her clothes, leaf green, pear green, buttercup and pink carnation.
The markers I haven't used are cocktail pink, burnt orange, royal blue, poppy, pine, cocoa and copic E00 and E11.
Just so you know what colors I have yet to work with, or suggest. Though I can always beat out my somewhat neglected pencils.
-
I know this is technically a non EQ corner, but I guess I could take this one in here as well. Made this in December, on a tudor dollmaker.
Humour me a little here.
Just felt like doing a human series. Despite being interested in the Middle Ages and such, the Tudors have never interested me. So I apologize if I do some blunders here.
I present to you, Princess Skyfire, the youngest heir to the throne. Her nanna, Rellah, keeps whispering that she is the rightful heir, not her brother. She and her brother has a feud because of this.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/TudorstuckSkyfire.png)
As she grows older, she goes to even further lengths to insult, belittle and deride her older brother. He is starting to understand that she could become a threat. However, she knows well that despite the intellectual parties prefer her, the brother's allies are far stronger than hers.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/TudorstuckSkyfireII.png)
Time passes. The princess begins to understand that she will not become Queen. It saddens her, letting go of that dream. Her maid, an old woman by now, urges her on. She rules when her brother is out on various deeds. They are prospering, and she loves it. Yet she knows this is no permanent arrangement. Or so she thinks. One day Two-Spear, as her brother is called behind his back, claims it is time to go on a holy war. She sizes the chance, and challenges.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/TudorstuckSkyfireIII.png)
She wins, yet she lets him live. Those who follows him are exiled along with him. Finally, her dreams come true. She is Queen.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/TudorstuckSkyfireIV.png)

I had totally missed the fairy! The colors are wonderful. Look how lovely the single colors blend together! So, you're enjoying the markers? For the wings, how about making them more or less transparent, like giving them a very soft blue coloring and leave some areas white to create a more fragile feeling?
The Skyfire story is killing me! Even the ear is damaged in the last one! :lol
-
Yes, I very much enjoy the markers. ;D The promarkers suit me a lot more than the copics. While I do get why people like them, the brushtip is convenient since it is easier to have a lighter hand, they don't bleed as easily as the promarkers do, and the refillable thing... we just don't click. Bit hard to explain, it is the feel in them. That, and the copics are not easy to acsess here, nor are they cheap, while promarkers can be found in my favorite bookstore, and craft shops, and are way cheaper.
When you say softer blue, the flower she isn't holding is my lightest marker blue. Is that one too hard? Well, both flowers are done in my lightest, however, the one she is holding has been used three times, while the other is two times.
As for Skyfire, I had to include a missing piece on her ear, I imagine their challenge was rather rough. Also, she'd have more scratches and wrinkles, but didn't know how to include them.
-
The blue color would be appropriate, I think. I wish I could describe more clearly when I say "don't color everything, but leave white spaces".
And you do very well with the promarkers! Geesh, I had written "pornmakers"...tsk,tsk.
-
LOL! how would they work? Just put the marker to the paper, andit would guide your hands to make porn images, or would they be sold to do rather creative things while doing hanky? Actually makes me wonder if anyone has done artwork and advertise it with that... :o
-
Well, I think there have been worse advertisement campaigns...:D
-
Probably. ;D
Okay, so I stumbled over a group on deviantArt, where they create wonderful art with muro. I knew already that one could do nice art and create cool effects, but holy! Of course, I accidentally deleted the best piece I've made like ever with any media... :'( but I'll share what I liked best of the other images I made in this.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Shedied.png)
Funny thing is, that I often start with a idea, but let them grow in my hands, something I learned by writing. This started out as a experiment to draw Bowki, but then it grew into a non EQ elf girl, 25 years of age... who died. Just stopped waking up.
-
Wow! That's totally modern. Eh, is that pic taken at a point where she has stopped waking up? ;)
I think I should find out more about muro.
-
Muro is a very simple digital drawing program which you can play with on DA. It doesn't have layers, and just like when using Paint, you can undo only four times. However, they do have filters which you can use. I usually use my iPad to use it, it is the closest thing I come to a tablet or anything close, until I get one and a computer which doesn't overheat every 30 th minute.
More like how she was remembered after her death. Post mortem guilt. everyone thought they could see something wrong, after constant tossing and turning every single event.

Okay, I ended up having to do the fairy again. My mother tosed some papers, and my fairy among them. >:( So, here I stuck to purple and blue and green. Some yellow too.

Remember the guy made with the blue strokes on the iPad. He has a name now. Moishe Goldhirsch. Fourth generation immigrant from Latvia. Fluent in English, and Yiddish. Lives in Ireland, just finishing his degree. Now... guess what he works with on the side of studying. :pirate
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Moishe.jpg)
-
Pirate? Drinking? LOL
Great start on him!
-
Most pirates had to drink their boredom and many woe's away, so it makes sense that he is drinking.
But my character don't drink... Much that is. ;) but thanks.
-
LOL I was just guessing both due to the drinking pirate smilie you used, I thought that perhaps it was a clue! But guess it wasn't after all, lolol!
-
I was originally going for the devil smiley, which I couldn't find. Before now, lol. But a good guess though, rather away from what people usually think. ;D
Ah damn, can't contain it. Worst secret keeper ever. :lol
He is a burlesque dancer.

So, every time nilla has asked for name giving, I've said McLovin, after watching this silly fan video. [Homestuck] John Gets His Name Changed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UveL890WebI#ws) Yesterday, I tried to entertain myself, and ended up drawing a guy called McLovin. Irish RnB artist, better musician than a songwriter. No one knows his first name.

Yes, most likely. :/ the pyromaniac in me probably got so excited on the prospect of burning things that I forgot to seperate my papers.

Awww! :o
I'm ten seconds away from sending Zarvee after Lilac as punishment. :lol

Mhh, I love the mermaids! So smooth lines and colors. I hope you enjoyed drawing them.
Sadly, I can hardly see your sketches on my screen here.
-
Oh yes, I very much did. ;D Since I think mostly in lines, it is fun to not use 'em.
Yesterday I painted a bit more. Forgive the quality of the first one, Had to take a picture, since my scanner made the sky of the tree pink. And the house elf did,'t fare much better either.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/crappyphoto.jpg)
And some kitsch things painted on organic paper.

-
Could you tell me what's on the first? I keep seeing a decapitated head, 3 snow covered hills, 3 trees and one moon?
I absolutely love the pink leafed trees. :love To me they look like they has the same quality as other art work I've seen elsewhere. Very nicely done. :)
-
That's a lot of things to see. :lol
It is supposed to be a house elf portrait. And in the corner, a moon shining trough the clouds on some winter trees. Usually I don't take pictures unless it is for my tumblr, but as said, the scanner muted the house elf and made the gray sky pink.
I'm glad you like the trees. When I started out I felt so kitsch, but I've grown to like them now. :D
Thanks a lot for the comment!
-
3 snow covered hills
No, wait. Now it's sand dunes. :lol
I'm glad you like the trees. When I started out I felt so kitsch, but I've grown to like them now.
You should. It looks splendid. ;D

Moar art.
Autumn tree
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Autumntree.jpg)
Kvitulven asked me to draw a similar tree to the sakura one, this time in brown.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/sakuratreeulva.jpg)
Sometimes, I get gripped by intense anger, which must be relived with breaking glass. (Not to hurt, the sound alone satisfies me.) Afterwards, I painted this.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/angry.jpg)
So, I was in the city, and my mother gave me some money. Went to Søstrene Grene, a Danish shop who has cheap art supplies. bought a lot of canvas' and some acryllic paint. First image with acryllics in more than a year (and that was a finger paint to boot.)
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/acryllictry.jpg)
Then, I was going to try wet on wet watercolor teqnique, but hated it. So instead I did a simple sakura tree painting on 10 X 10 canvas. When my little cousins saw the finished piece and asked me to give it to them, then started fighting, offered me money, and started bidding over each other until one of them couldn't hold the pace anymore.
So now I am one painting poorer, and 50 norwegian kr richer.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Sold.jpg)

Here is one more. The Cowberry Sadist. Might do an actual comic with her.
Closest thing to a self portrait I'll ever give.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Thecowberrysadist.jpg)
-
Interesting, it almost looks like you painted the same tree in different seasons. So lovely. I hope selling your painting was satisfactory. I must admit that it always flatters me, when people are ready to spend money for my stuff. Also feels a bit strange, though.
Like the self-portrait a lot, love the clothing. Is that a bandana?
(like to wear bandanas myself, without any connection to Nightfall)
-
I didn't notice that before you said so! How cool is that. :D
Yes, it was very much satisfactory and flattering. It was rather strange though. OMG I sold something, given recognition, why is this happening, oh cool money, wtf, why do they want it? Was the thoughts running through my head.
No, it isn't really a bandana. More of a scarf thing, used inmproperly, because I choke when wearing them around my neck. Excellent to wear if you have short Mick Jagger like hair or just very short wavy. However, bandana's are really cool too. Love wearing them.

I’ve always been fond of doing word collages. Or, maybe that is not the right word for it. Basically you write a word or sentence which catches your attention. They can be from songs, television, etc. Now, the thing is that one has them is random order, no structure, or anything. Centering it around an image, like here is very much fun. :D

Urgh, I drew this with a marker which my niece forgot last time she was here. Awful things, the marker was perfumed, possibly highly toxic and stung your nose.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/revolting.jpg)
-
Perfumed? Oh dear! The pink does look toxic. ;)
But I like the pink tree. Neat. I should also draw something with rain in it.
Also like the collages...made me think of "Twelve Monkeys" somehow...

*Beyond suddenly shows up in front of Cone *
Beyond: Hiiiiii, deary. Could you tell me what you precious wolffriend's pelt's colour is? The one called Nilla would really love to know.
-
Cone is busy hunting at the moment, but basically, Rill has the same color as this wolf picture here. http://advocacy.britannica.com/blog/advocacy/2009/10/reckless-killing-of-yellowstone (http://advocacy.britannica.com/blog/advocacy/2009/10/reckless-killing-of-yellowstone)’s-celebrated-wolves/
I have no idea how to pull this off when I draw Rill, but yeah. More realistic than the one in the comics.

Beyond: Arrrrgh. Killjoy!
O_O @ fur colour...
Oh boy...

A little doodle I did yesterday. Kenneth is an ordinary man who likes football, beer and works as an mechanic.
He was kidnapped by aliens. (Might do a short comic with this story.)
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Keneth.jpg)
-
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Kathleen.jpg)
So, story about this is that Kathleen, who is McLovin’s best friend and knows the city (Dublin) almost as well as her hands, fell asleep while enjoying the nice day and got sun burned. After a little groggily standing on her feet, she met people.
On art notes, I was going to draw something grand, celebrating that I had finally applied to schools and life is so wonderful, and I might go swimming tomorrow… instead I drew a chibi and can’t find my eraser. DX To top it off, my copic which was what I used for the Caucasian base skin color (E000) is empty. This one (E00) did fine, but only because Kathleen has gotten a slight tan/sun burn from this.
And I've learned that when you don't want streaks, and it is starting to develop, as long as you keep the area wet, then one can stop it from happening.
Rest was done with promarkers and a gel pen.
-
Gosh, I hadn't seen this! To me she doesn't look so burned, more like super-happy with her rosy cheeks. Very well colored. You're really getting the hang of copics.
I like the white highlights. They looks so artsy. With what did you do them?
-
Heh, thanks! So I didn't go overboard with the white highlights? I kind of always go nuts with the white things XD
The highlights were done with a white pilot CHOOSE ballpoint pen. In order to get it as white as I did at some places, I had to twirl my wrist in circles. Wouldn't recoment it for tiny precise things like the coneheads star eyes, but to highlights like this, it works rather well.
-
Okay, so as you guys probably know, I have been on vacation. Spain. It is a lovely country, and I feel in love in the city of Valencia. Even said that I'll bring everyone I like there at one point. ;D
But for now, I'll just share some art.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/MermanLilac.jpg)
Merman version of Lilac. Done at the airplane. I kinda wonder how he would be as a merman. I mean, if he was just a wavedancer then he could abandon the watery domain to pursue the lovely drink, but as a merman/mermaid, you're kinda stuck in the water...
Uploading it here because I can do better.

This was the last one I did. My cousin asked me to show her some tips on drawing faces, and did this one.
I love drawing kinky hair. But I'm still clueless on why it is called that in english, but I suppose it is more appropriate than the Norwegian one. We call if afro hair.
Yes, that was all for now.
-
But for now, I'll just share some art.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/MermanLilac.jpg)
ah, that explains why I've seen Zarvee walk around with a fishing net...
-
What? You were in Valencia? I lived there for two months! I absolutely fell in love with Spain!
So great, that you were so creative! I especially love the tree, it almost looks like there were defined figures in the foliage if you just look hard enough. Very fluid and organic!
-
Actually, I was in Alicante, some of the neighboring villages, Valencia, Barcelona and then back to Valencia. It was a wonderful trip.
-
Oh yes, I passed through Alicante as well! Ah, makes me all nostalgic. Glad to hear you got to enjoy wonderful Spain.
-
Been sick for a couple of days, as some of you may know. (Had an all-nighter because I was shit scared about it being a burglar in the house, and when dawn came I had a morning walk in my pajamas... yeah, not the smartest thing I've done.) Yesterday I did some things. They were supposed to be chibi's of Chot, but instead I drew my weird aliens.
Some things I have to explain about them. First of, their skin usually varies between deep red to the palest blue. I was greatly inspired by stars, rather, the light the star gives. If it is a red star, then the light is "younger", thus closer to our time than the bluish white. They have only one hair color, which is white.
Secondly, they have horns. Either one, or two. One also has the so-called no-horns, who stay yellow their whole life. They are humanoid, and if we met them, we would think they only have females, because all of them possess boobies and uterus. To reproduce, they have to connect their horns together. This must be done fairly often, because these horns grow their whole life, starting from when your eyes turn magenta, when your mind and body is ready to reproduce. For some it takes a couple centuries, the oldest one was two million years old before she was ready. After that it must be done very often, because if you don't connect to someone in a long enough time, these horns will grow so big and heavy that your neck may snap under the weight.
Now, if you want children, then a two-horn has to connect with a one-horn. The one who wants the child most will be the one carrying it. A one-horn can connect her horn with another one-horn, but then there will be no child. Same with two-horns. The horn will shrink anyway, so it is not uncommon to couple with someone who has the same number of horns as you do.
The no-horns cannot reproduce at all. They are neither common or uncommon in this society. They face some discrimination, because they do not have to reproduce or have to deal with the nuisance of connecting with others. This leads to the misconception that a no-horn cannot get sick, needs less holidays and thus has to work harder for recognition in work. Then again, some have been able to scrape in quite a fortune with luck and hard work.
... I've talked a awful lot. XD None of these aliens have hair in these drawings, but whatever. They are supposed to be there, I just didn't bother to fiddle with colors to make it stand out.

A no-horn. I went crazy with the colors around her.

Those are pretty! they kinda remind me of cave paintings, in a VERY VERY good way.
So pretty!
Can I ogle at the prettiness?
-
Why of course you may. I'm honored that you like it that much. They were fun to do and brought me avlot of joy. And color to my little drawing book.
-
Can I use the one horn as my computer background?
-
ZOMG, I WANT ONE. :love
There's something incredible cheerful about them. Again, I love the simpleness here.
I love the first one. It's so damn cheery. ;D

:spit
:faint

You want is as a background on your computer? Yes, you may use it as that! I am so glad that you like it.
Some more art, for today.

The second one is my first doe. Cone was hunting these when she and Rill had her accident. I love doe's. They are cute and fun to spot. Mostly happy with this one, but can you tell some of the things I did wrong with it?
-
No tail?
Still better than what I can do, though.
-
No, there is a tail there... it is just hidden in the white. Besides, when a doe is relaxing, aka not tense, you can't see it that good. When they run however, the lead in the pack will "flip it up" which is a sign of danger to the other/others. then they scatter to safety.
Okay, besides that the color is too brown (my reference was more beige, there are some who has a golden brown fur, but that is mostly the light or fawns) the fur is too furry. Doe's look far more sleek, even in the winter months.
But I do very much like this one. :)
-
Let me present to you, Klara Bergfalk, aka Cowberry Sadist. Again. This woman tends to use me wardrobe, but that's okay.
She is without humor and the last of three siblings. Never excelling in anything she tried, she often felt like a failure. Takes after her father, something which she is not happy with. Her father drinks a lot, and unlike her mother and brother, she can't get him to bed when he is at his worst. It gave her a lot of issues during her teen years.
When she was nineteen, she moved out to have her own life. During one short visit, wherein her laundry machine had been broken, she switched off the smoke detectors in an act of rage. When she had left, her father feel asleep while smoking. Hence, her father and some of his neighbors died in a fire. She has spent the last three years in jail, for negligent homicide.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Cowberrysadist.jpg)
-
While I surely don't wish for her backstory, I would like to have her sweater. I think I like your wardrobe, Startear. ;)
-
Aww, thanks. Most of it is old, collected over the years and birthdays, as I don't buy clothes that often. I wear it until it starts to tear or cause me a lot of discomfort. and then it is "in the store, find something which I need and looks good, feel the texture, look at price, try it on, go to the cashier, thank you and goodbye." 2011 was a record on me shopping, because no less than tree trousers tore, and that was what I had. with the exception of my pajama bottoms. And I had to get rid of some other garments which had mold on it.

So, nilla, what I said on tumblr about Cone being drunk has noting to do with this sketch! At all. ;)
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/drunkfriends.jpg)
The size is wrong, the drawing should get bigger and I drew it into a corner. On size notes, Cone is a little lower than that, but she is partly held up by Beyond (too drunk to stand without support) and is on her toes.
---
A try with Aqua markers from Letraset. Won't use 'em much, they're a pain to use. The amount of water needed to drag the colors out almost destroyed my watercolor paper. What I find interesting though, is that it reminds me of the artwork which my father likes... art of women where the outside ugliness, as my father claims, sets the mood.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/uglywithin.jpg)
---
A try with my newest promarker and a tria marker. The latter is a brush marker which is refillable. Apparently they've taken the xylene out, so no worries about poisoning. The sky was the tria one.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/triaskytry.jpg)
---
Mainly a try of finding a good new base skin color. I used a copic in the past, but it has run out and since I don't like brush markers much I choose to buy promarkers, skin and skin accents.
This guy is mostly harmless. But rotten hygiene, insomnia and talking like you're gonna kill everyone... well, you don't get any friends.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/harmlesscreepydude.jpg)
Hair was done with flexmarkers, something I got with the Aqua markers. Like tria and copics they're alcohol based and with brushes, but not refilleable. Kinda like the spawn between a promarker and a copic.
Also, see the shirt? that's what I love about promarkers. By using and using for shading, it almost looks as if you used three, but I only used one. 8)

There is a drunk!Cone/Beyond muse? :lol good to know. But as said, she is adorable as drunk. She smiles and is happy. Genuinely.
I can't wait to see what you come up with. ;D

Want to give name to the guy without hygiene?
I'd be honored!! :shocker
Mind, coming up with normal names is not my strong suit.
Hmm, I keep hearing the name Jerred whenever I see the picture of him.
Jerred seems to mean "descending; down-flowing".
-
Exactly why I want you to name him! ;D He hasn't accepted any of mine. He wants something special. ::)
*swings over* Is Jerred okay?
"Won't that imply that my parents are religious and hence abusive?"
Is that a no?
"No."
Jerred it is then.
"I did not say yes."
Really.
*growls* "I want to have Quisling as surname."
Absolutely not.
"WHY NOT?"
Quisling is a name which is not in use. And even if I approved, you'd make it even harder for yourself!
"But I want it."
Now you're being childish.
"You're dumb"
Wow. Classic.
(Honestly, he is worse than Realf.)
-
"Won't that imply that my parents are religious and hence abusive?"
XD!! Daaaw. I love his view on that. My kind of guy.

XD
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/Realf.png)
Realf Chein is a newly educated social anthropologist, who thinks he knows everything about human minds. His brother partook in the war, on the side of the Trenchcoat Brigade. Michael/Chey-Chey was a violent figure and in the front of everything. So Realf considers himself as the one who must preserve the dignity of his brother and the ones who he considers unjustly treated by the government and media.
He is obnoxious, snarky, holier than thou arth, and knows everything. But he screws up without understanding it himself. And his morals are more... Curvy than corupt. He does have points he just... Screams it so loud and in a way that makes you deaf.
"Can I meet him?"
I'm gonna regret it, but sure. He lives in Lillestrøm, you can't miss him.

Gamzee from Homestuck. Did this just before I ran out of the house to watch Avengers. (Said movie was entertaining but not sure how fun it is to watch for the fans said superheroes. (Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Iron Man.)
But I digress. Never drawn Gamzee, his hair scares me. He danced for me... a odd dance with a lot of swinging on the ankles and flailing with his hands and clubs. Was done with black pencil, ink and then black pencil again.

I promise that I'll translate this. I wrote it for a course I took in poetic language, wherein our teacher got me interested in other ways to tell stories. Here I tried to convey a character in how he wrote something to a newspaper. These characters has been with me for a long time, but never truly got something out of them all. Before this course that is.
Kommentar
Realf Chein sosialantropolog
Nok en gang har en av en av de overlevende som tilhørte den forhenværende gruppen som kalte seg Trenchcoat Brigaden begått en stygg forbrytelse. Denne gangen var det Eigil Simonsen, en tidligere lærer i matematikk på Sandaker barneskole i Telemark som er mistenkt for å ha begått ugjerningen. Ifølge artiklene som ble skrevet 8. desember bestod forbrytelsen av et drap på en maskemaker som nylig hadde bosatt seg i Gran, utenfor Oslo.
Det er ikke til å undre seg over hvorfor Eigil ble hovedmistenkt med tanke på hans relativt kjente bakgrunn som fangevokter av den berømte Armand Lago, en maskemaker som aktivt hjalp til å bryte opp gruppen. Det er også mistanke om at Armand skal ha tatt livet av deres leder, noe som aldri har blitt stadfestet. Noe som er en av politiets hovedbegrunnelse til at Eigil er mistenkt, bortsett fra at han ble observert på Gran kort tid etter at ugjerningen skal ha funnet sted.
Istedenfor å fokusere på hvordan politiets anklager er i hovedsak basert på indisier ser man tydelig at både journalistene og mengden av mennesker som skriver til avisene er mer opphengt i frykten de har for at brigaden skal nok en gang reise seg i de mørke krokene som gjenstår etter dens fall enn å følge opp utrykket “uskyldig til det motsatte er bevist.†Uten at noen virkelig orker å ta seg bryet med å gjøre den politisk korrekte handlingen å heve øyenbrynene.

Bluh. My computer's charger decided to schedule a meeting with Azrael. So, no computer on me...
I finished the very first in a number of images I've had in my mind though, and learning some things...
1. Inking on 10 x 10 cm canvas when you already hold the pen/pencil tightly is very painful.
2. Just because your pens are waterproof, doesn't mean that they are acrylic proof.

Forgot to say say I love this one. o,o For some reason I have a fondness for the simplicity style you used here and in many of your other works. I think you captured his hairstyle well. (I sure as fark couldn't draw it as it looks in canon. He'd be all longish hair and curls if I had to draw him.)
-
Aww, thank you so much! I had loads of fun with that one. (Not so much on the other... I was cross eyed because of lack of sleep. Damn you brother of mine, having parties when I'm bone dead tired, and keep me awake.)
Gamzee's hair is hard to do. I do think that the easiest of the trolls/humans is John's and Rose's. Gamzee has wild curly short hair which is starting to get long, and in the comic's style, it goes out of portion. o.O
-
I finally got a new charger for my computer. No more using my mom's old one. I did mostly play with inking and some painting.

This is one of many illustrations I’ve had in mind for months. As some may know, I am an ACA.
It stands for Adult Child of Alcoholics.
When my dad was in rehab, they gave me all these papers about it. What annoyed me most while reading through them was they categorized you in one out of two groups. Either you were a Angel, a sweet kind one aiming to please and help out. Or you were a demon, a wreck who went their own way and was stupid. And doomed to become an excessive drinker yourself.
Did not help when that mean woman who was our councilor automatically put me in the demon one. Because when dad’s drinking escalated, I was at boarding school. :rant
I got this idea, of trying to get the duality and how one is neither and both at the same time. And express it in art and fiction.
Only took about eight-nine monhts to finish one, so I might do these for years to come. XD
Skin was done in acrylic. The canvas is a tiny one, 10 X 10 cm. Drew it first, then inked, and painted. After finding that waterproof doesn't equal acrylic proof, so the rest is in watercolor.
Excuse the crappy photo though.

And, by far the best ink drawing I have. Me thinks. This time I looked up some shading tutorials online. Only problem was that it only tackled face and shirt... so at the pants, I just tried to go along with it. Umn... not sure how sucsessful I was.
And I forgot the boobs XD

Very interesting that you get judged so easily and be put in one of two groups... Must be very easy for the councilors... I actually hoped that people who are trained to work with ACA knew more shades of grey and actually all other colors as well... :-\ I like that you made your own "grey" version.
And keep on practicing the shading! It looks good. I think it takes some time and courage to do it. Well, at least for me, because I tend to ruin pictures with my ink shading.
-
Yes... it seems very easy. And this isn't a problem only directed towards people who are ACA's but other groups as well. The world isn't black and white.
Very glad that you like my ink shading. :)
So happens that I arted today as well.
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/Yeha-Noha/smokingmermaid.jpg)
A mermaid, who smokes. Just had the idea... if you live under the sea, and like to smoke... how do you do this? Tobacco can't grow under the sea, as far as I know. The only possible way that I see is to befriend a human, and get them to buy cigarettes for you. And perhaps store it in a grotto of some kind.
Anyway, have a mermaid enjoying her cigarette.
(You have to love Promarkers' skin sets. So easy to navigate through. Though, in this case it was because I wanted to use the more yellowish tents that the Caucasian ones.)
-
Haha, that is hilarious and oddly enough I did once draw a butterfly smoking, he was French and enjoyed a cigarette every now and then, maybe that is who gives them to your mermaid...haha.
-
:D I'm sure my mermaid would highly appreciate that.
Do you still have your butterfly. I'd love to see him.

I had my nynorsk exam this friday. Did not panic. Did not freeze, and finished in time.
So now I'm free. Kinda. Still have to look for a job, but still. Glorious almost freedom. Right after I was finished, I went to an art store, and bought pastels. Both oil and chalk.

So I've been without net for a day. My mom was convinced that it was the forest fires in America that had taken all of the servers... turned out that it was a stupid glitch, and it is fixed.
When doing so, I played a lot of the newest pokèmon games, black and white. And got unnaturally attached to one called Deerling, http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110213005617/pokemon/images/d/d0/Deerling.png, (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110213005617/pokemon/images/d/d0/Deerling.png,) who is very much like me, then it evolved into a sawsbuck, and I was scared because of sounds.
And...
I wrote a screenplay to a fan comic. Will draw it out.
Clock Says
(Start by showing Sawbucks forelegs. For convenience sake, it will be summer. Grass sticking up to his feet. Cut to a full shot, possibly looking down.)
I am weak.
(First sentence has a panel each. Young Deerlings hopping playfully, then some trainers or a obviously strong pokèmon jumps forward, and Deerlings scatter to hide. A sawsbuck chasing the pokèmon away, and next day training some moves.)
When we are young Deerlings, we hide ourselves in the grass when we feel hostility directed towards us, hoping that our mothers shall drive the danger away. Dreaming of the day when we no longer run at every sound we hear.
I was no exception.
(Sawbuck looks directly at us.)
I am tired of always being afraid.
(Deerling transforming. Show it with aura and glitter. Obviously surprised, then full charge ahead, antlers pointing sharply at us.)
I believed that after my evolution, I would feel better about myself. strong, able to take down anyone who wish me harm.
(Cheap stilouette of the team, Simisage was a pansage at this time, and Snakeskin was at his earliest. Sawsbuck using energy ball and jump kick. Pokemon being called back to their owners, some miffed others just awed.)
After I joined the team of this trainer, I kept hearing the same thing. Trainers falling, reluctantly saying that we beat them. And always some words about my swift movements and powerful kicks.
(Just text.)
So why do I still feel like a coward?

I'm not back home with my scanner yet I'm afraid, but I found some things that I hadn't shared, but is scanned.
Kvitulven's faun, Edgar. Done with caligraphy pens, which are super cool.

I was at Desucon, selling artwork. Was loads of fun. Shared markers around with my neighbours, met new people, some old people I knew. Made about 6 euro or something, on commissions. The best part was when I was buying art and other stuff when I was on the walk abouts. But anyway, there is a lot of dead time. In it, I made this. A very cheesy image of a tribe I had, which was set in a pre middle ages romantic fantasy universe. The tribe which was the protagonists, lived on a land which had mountains in the north, grasslands in the west, and sea/dessert in the south. Every year, when the youth was to become adult, they had to go through a test in the middle of the whole land. If it turned out that speed was your forte, then you went to live in the west, to the grasslands. South was the works of magic or spiritual parts, east was for strength, and north for the clever. They had different animals to represent them. The grasslands had the deer as sign, north had the eagle, east the bear, and the south was ambiguous, but often represented by the snake, cat or a turtle.

Jane from Homestuck. Many complain that she is boring, but I am inclined to disagree. She isn't as badass as the other females, but a nice and decent girl whom many can recognize themselves as.

Now, here is two things. In Homestuck, the human characters are aracial. If you are to read the The creator said that it is so in order for everyone to interpret them however they like. Same with the hair. Want them to be black? Sure, go ahead, write and draw them as so. The reoccurring skin colors in fanart is; Jade = african-american, John = asian, Dave = albino, Rose = Caucasian. Though, these may vary. Jane doesn't have a specific one, but my guess is mostly olive.
What's special with Jane is that she is the Maid of Life. From what we know, these people can resurrect themselves and others, and keep it in limbo. Can she heal someone who is living? We don't know, because it isn't seen. What if she can't? What if she can only heal a body completely if it is dead? Like, if someone has cancer, would she have to wait or maybe end someones life to heal them completely, and is there a time limit?
My sister's mother lost her life in the battle against breast cancer the same day as I did the coloring, so I had to push some tears away. My shading wasn't strong enough, so when I was going to do it again, I grabbed the wrong marker.

Treefox, your Moonshade picture was so inspiring that I decided to create my own monochrome series. Blue for Azula (Avatar the Last Airbender), Orange for Zuko (same series, because they have that fun duality), Green for Bolin (Legend of Korra), and pink for Will (W.I.T.C.H). I was not going to do purple, but it was the one where i had all colors correspond so nicely, so I made this of Brainbent Eridan. May favorite character in my favorite AU.
His neck is too thin, he really is so skinny that his head looks big, but I exaggerated.

My aliens, this time more like how they really look like. White hair, horns, and their skin color. Though, this one is actually a no-horn, her skin is that odd shade between red and yellow. Curious to see how those with horns lived, she pretended to be a two-horn. she was, to her surprise very successful. After two centuries, she grew tired of her game, and revealed the truth. Her customers felt betrayed, but no one had anything they could say. There was no law saying that one wasn't allowed to pretend one isn't of your own category.
Sadly, some of the shading was lost, but I really like how it turned out. :)

After I found that purple looks well if used in shading on causcian skin color, I tried using it watercolor. I think that blue works better in this medium, but it was interesting.

Mostly trying to draw someone relaxing. Here I tried blue to show shading, instead of black which I normally use.

This is the character that started my odd aliens. Hale. She is a rebel, but doesn't have a sense of direction anymore. She says that she has simply lived too long, what is there to rebel against now? History repeats itself. Her catchphrase is "my self is smoke."

Studio Killers - Ode To The Bouncer (Official Video / HD / AATW) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seslcmRLEL4#ws) watching this video, I had to draw some fanart. Not that happy with the drawing itself, but I like the movement.

The last watercolor I did. An octopus and a jellyfish. Figured out how to blend two colors together with watercolor, that was rather neat.

I look at myself as mostly a line artist, but sometimes, I only use color. The lines on the top lady was added after. I don't know why I added them, I think it mostly was in order to make her clothing more visible.

I've started University at long last, and I love it. Truly, it is amazing. However, I don't have much time for drawing. Just one here and there. For two weeks I've wanted to do a very specific desert landscape. So, before bed time, I did this. Thirty minutes. Does that count as speed drawing?

I did a somewhat similar scenery with acrylics. At the time I did this, I could not locate one single brush. So I used a sponge. I like the effect, it looks wind blown. Unfortunately, the picture of it is rather crappy.

Some of these are a few weeks old, sorry. While I do not spend many hours on the university, strictly, the hours spent in classrooms in one week is only ten, two hours per day. On Mondays we have history, the Tuesday-Thursday we have language classes. But, being language classes, a lot of time is spent studying on the side. So, while I technically have time to draw, it is spent on... reasonable things.
Yes, I do wonder what my life is coming to. :P
But anyway, I have been trying to focus on different bodyshapes. I have started swimming regularly on top of my classes, in order to stay in shape. Because of the chlorine, everyone has to go to the showers, so you see various bodyshapes whether you try hard to look for them or not.
This was colored with copics and promarkers. Some leave white spots for speckles of Light. I tried that too.

I had written "is there anybody here" in hindi. Not in devanagari, as I usually do, because the example wasn't given, and I didn't bother to drag up the alphabet this time. But what I did afterwards was to draw a mermaid under it. Her colors are inspired by the bengali hilsa fish.

My troll in God Tier. I had so much trouble here. While the prince outfit is pretty straightforward, the color scheme was not given. So, I had to ask for help. My mother suggested pink. I find it hilarious that a girl troll, who is in one of the destroyer class, walks around wearing very pink clothes. XD
nilla helped me figure out the color of her crown and sigil.

Last image I have drawn and been happy with. Asked my followers on tumblr to ask me to draw myself dressed up for Halloween. One of my friends asked me to draw myself as my favorite character in Homestuck, Wayward Vagabond. I complied, and decided to make me do what I did last Halloween.
Bowling. ;D

Wanted to do a watercolor, and I used my references for once.
I used the woman on the right for the pose; http://kanzeeposereffences.tumblr.com/post/33655793543/oogum-boogum-helllllllllllo-ladies#notes (http://kanzeeposereffences.tumblr.com/post/33655793543/oogum-boogum-helllllllllllo-ladies#notes)

Her shirt is purple because of Spirit day. Finished too late, but it is the thought that counts, no? ;)

So, University, moving out from my parents and video games ate up all my time. But eventually, I arted.
For my own Birthday, I got myself a tablet. It renders me ??? but it is fun to muck around with.

Shitty color version.

Trust me to draw tree's.

And of course, I have to draw... Goblin Cat. 1/4 goblin, rest is cat, and he hates you all. Because he can only get a job in banks, as a mouse hunter, and it really sucks. You wouldn't think that job comes with so much stress, but it does.

I'll post some more tomorrow. :)

Man, I haven't posted here in a while! I'm not even going to try to bring everything over. But since Berit and I had an discussion on body positivity, and how many people either don't bother to draw fat or plus size (depends on which term you prefer) people or just draw what they think is pretty... I've been trying to draw double chins. Why? well, it's one of the things I'm a bit self conscious about myself.
Yesterday I think I finally figured it out while drawing Allone the graceful, my adventure character from Tradewinds Odyssey. Only nation where your character can be plus size is greek, which is a shame. (The gals from Persia have a rally cool wardrobe, and the hair of the African ladies is to die for.) She used to dance a lot, and when her husband passed away, she took out some savings, sold her house, bought a ship, and set out to start a new life. She is now trading across the Aegean, earning extra money on doing odd jobs. Everything from making wine, piracy, hunting giant squids and even some fetch quests from the Gods.

I wasn't too happy with the drawing on lower part, so I conveniently cut that off. XD

Darn, you have some pretty dark stuff here... I actually know what it is like... my mother was a drunkard and addicted to various pills... I had to look after her from when I was like 6... I really feel for you... dang, I hoped no one had gone through that, sorry for my language... that shit... but it's good to see you drawing... drawing can help you in many sorrows... it can give you back your wings that were clipped from you... so fly, dear Startear, fly with your new strong wings!... and when you soar to the sky, drop us some of the things you do there as before! hahaha! nice to see all this stuff here! you do draw lots! no wonder I see improvement in your art all the time!...
