Title: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on January 10, 2012, 09:23:02 PM
I rarely ever create something non-EQ but there are some older pieces that I have done that I'm willing to upload here.
You can also check out old OLD OLD pieces on my deviantart, kumi4eva.deviantart.com

As soon as I figure out where to grab the images from, I'll post them here.

Request of Hayley Williams from Paramore, I made it for my friend Sammeh and colored it a few weeks ago. You can tell it has my old style lineart with newer style colorings. I inked it a month or so back.

Second I had colored on GIMP

Oh, very nice facial studies! They look lovely and they are good way of improving of perspective.
And that watercolor pic is beautiful. Really looks like a sunny day and I like it a lot that the structure of the paper is showing.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 03, 2012, 03:03:34 AM
Late reply, oh no, thank you! The watercolor wouldn't scan correctly, it would suck all the color out and leave the paper texture so I was worried it would look a bit garish with the bright colors...


Trying a new medium... I love drawing hair.

Thank you! I was hoping the eyes weren't too obnoxious with pink, she's a cyborg named Yana, my newest character.

And yes, the hair was so much fun, I love it!  :D

I find them refreshing. :) It also give me courage to colour up one of my friend's elf who has that type of eye colour.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 04, 2012, 03:09:24 AM
Oooh, cool! Well, there should always be some sort of elf with a neon eye color! It makes for happy times!

I didn't want to post this one to gallery because its just a sketch but here is nightfall before I colored her. You can see it looks very "her".... Too bad it doesn't stay that way when I colored her....

Ever get the feeling that everything you draw seems to be on elves?
Ashe! From League of Legends, I'm a video game nerd. I really hate her but she was fun to color.

Watercolor, since I need to practice on it

As said on Deviant art:
Her facial shape didn't turn out how it was supposed to, it seemed more like Leetah's face and not the thin and soft faced tyleet.

Scrap!

So, no go to gallery.

Post by: Treefox on February 08, 2012, 01:56:05 AM
I still like your watercolors! Also, good angle in that face. Not easy to draw!
I when I saw the sketch, I immediately though "Tyleet!" Definitely more Tyleet than Leetah, I think. :D
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: Startear on February 08, 2012, 04:36:02 AM
I admire how you are able to use light pencil strokes. That is one of my biggest problems.

Love your watercolors.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 08, 2012, 02:37:41 PM
@Treefox: Thank you! It took me about 20 minutes to get the nose right, but as soon as I colored it, everything came together good. And I might color Tyleet, just make her eyes a bit softer, I think that's the only problem I see...

@Startear: I use different thickness pencils, you can get them at any art store or even a Staples or maybe any sort of office outlet store. The one's I use are STAEDTLER design pencils, to get the lightest strokes I use the 3H, its the thinnest pencil. It makes deeper creases if you press too hard but if you sketch quickly and not exactly "put your hand down in one place" you should be fine. Be light and quick with your sketch. It takes a while to get used to but you'll get the hang of it. I usually go back over to have final lines with felt pens when I'm done or I just erase some lines and put others darker, maybe add some shading but I've only done that a few times.

Didn't really want to post this in the gallery.

Practicing shading before bed, first digital from scratch... Gimp is hard to do that with.
Next time I'm using photoshop.

My elf-self. Was skyspark then turned to shadowtree.... Blah, I just am not good with names, but I think I'm going to change it again.

Ooo! Neat self-elf! She looks like a fun and flirty girl. Really like her eyes and hairstyle. Somehow this picture looks a bit like it could also fit into our pinup calendars. ;)
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 16, 2012, 09:40:08 AM
If only there was an elf self pin-up calender.... I'd probably enter for that  ;D
Thank you! I have almost elf-thick hair so I have to have a whole lot of layers in order for it to look anything towards good. But as an elf, lots of layers is a good thing, your hair would get so poofy! The eyes were the very last thing I did, I didn't spend as much time on them but I think it turned out for the better.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: nilla on February 16, 2012, 10:39:10 AM
I adore your selfelf.  O.O She looks really    spirited. She has some very intense eyes.
I love the way you make hair.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 16, 2012, 03:10:16 PM
Thank you very much!  :D
I imagine if I was an elf, I'd always be jumping tree-to-tree like a monkey, swinging on the branches and scaring humans. I guess thats why I could never be a wolfrider.... Technically I'd still be in the trees! So I can do as I please  ;)
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: Startear on February 18, 2012, 06:37:22 AM
So I take it that you and Chitter would be good friends?  ;D

Your self elf is adoreable. i like how the dark brown goes so well with the pale blue.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 18, 2012, 05:11:04 PM
Oh high ones, that girl talks! I would be more friends with her father because he hardly says a word! Though, I would love to jump around the treetops with her, when it comes to having conversations, I'd be on the other side of the holt boundries.
And thank you, blue and brown really go well to together... I think its my favorite combination of colors.

I think it looks fantastic. :love The hair honestly looks like hair, I love her eyes, the intense expression she has...and her top, I love the simpleness of it.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on February 19, 2012, 11:06:14 AM
I think why back, her top was kind of inspired by Tyleet's, because when I remembered her I remembered how her top kind of reminded me of tyleet..... Though her attitude is the opposite.

Her hair reminds me of straw but of course she lives in a village much like the maya, so there isn't any conditioner to soften her hair  ;)
I honestly didn't think it would turn out too good but it ended up looking okay, there are some mistakes I see but its to be expected. It was a big picture O_O

She is cute and awesome! Hey, having a child like that isn't bad at all! That is, if she does fall down, of course, that wouldn't be so pleasant.
She reminds me of Ed from Cowboy Bebop.  :D
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on April 11, 2012, 12:40:16 PM
I think a child like that would be useful on hunts but when back at the holt, they would be too much to handle...
Which is a main reason why Shadowtree has no children, though I like children, I would never want one of my own.

Costume~
This is frustrating... FEATHER MESS. There are feathers EVERY WHERE!

(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/117/5/e/ember_feathers_by_kumi4eva-d4xqveo.jpg)

Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on April 26, 2012, 03:02:50 PM
Feathers are all finished, now I have to put together the three bunches for the tie on the chest.

I also have to go grab some clay and sculpt Tyleet's necklace soon.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: Treefox on April 26, 2012, 11:50:26 PM
Oh, this reminds me of Dewshine somehow. Very nice and fluffy. Please show us the results.
My friend also made me a Tyleet nekclace once. It was so amazing! Just perfect. Sadly, it seems that I lost it somewhere.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on April 27, 2012, 01:36:22 PM
I supposed it would, since dewshines feathers and Embers feathers are pretty much the same  ;)
Too bad about the necklace, I hope mine will turn out good too.
I'll keep you guys posted on how the costume is coming!

AIHRGH
I'm having a hard time finding an Ember wig!
I'm trying to figure out what wig works for early cheiftess Ember and I can't pin point it!
If you guys have any suggestions, here is the web site I am buying from:

http://arda-wigs.com/styles.html (http://arda-wigs.com/styles.html)

I can't really figure out what exactly her hair would look like in real life... Its beginning to bother me because convention is getting closer and I have no wigs ordered.
I also need to start working on Tyleets boots next week, then Embers.

Also if you see a wig for Tyleet, let me know. Thank you!

I had this idea of a party line of all the fan characters for the community here. But I ended up drawing too big and barely got even three into the picture.

Sorry about stealing then fudging up the characters, Nilla and Startear, I'll do better next time, I swear!

This was drawn on big paper so unfortunately everything got chopped cause of my horrible scanner.

Celebrating (Sort of) the birth of Nasya, Shadow's baby sister.... Who officially belongs to my best friend/almost sister who is actually older than me...

Oh Beyond~
Might want to say good-bye to your hat.... Nasya learns much from her sister.


Shadow's party outfit.... She seems to acquire quite the costume change after Nasya's birth.

Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: Startear on May 03, 2012, 11:02:20 AM
By all means, borrow Cone whenever you'd like!  :D

I love the interactions and dynamics. Shadowtree's movements are so fluid, she really looks as if she is enjoying herself to the full. And taken Beyond's hat too, it looks great on her. While Beyond looks as if he is going to dance with Shadowtree. And Cone, haha. She looks like she is contemplating if she wants to join or not, her foot slightly forward but a little reluctant. What I like is that she doesn't look directly disapproving, just a little... guarded so to speak. At least to me. :)

And really, you didn't do a bad job at all.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: DestinysGift on May 03, 2012, 12:27:31 PM
For Cone I was a little uneasy about drawing her, I didn't know if she would relax and let loose for the birth of a child or not, so I drew her kind of on the fence about it. But I'm glad you like it!
My complaint is the arms, they were continuously too short and it was bothering me!
This was one of many unhappy drawings where I drew the whole body sketch before actually drawing in the details. Though it helped on understanding where they should be standing, I always seem to end up shrinking their heads too much.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: Startear on May 03, 2012, 01:22:49 PM
Well, it depends. I subscribe to the headcanon that the Wolfriders don't like strangers, especially not in the earlier years. Comes from the wolfblood, where instinct drives stranger wolves. Territorial.

Cone met Uli on what was supposed to be a very short lone hunt. She was very guarded, and did bristtle a bit of the plantshaper calling her wolfling and such, more because it gave imprssions of the most wolf like than actually offended.

The strangers on the other hand seem to notice that something is off, and that she is a little gloomy, but rarely push her. Then she met Beyond, who has the rare privelige of seeing her happy. (she was drunk on the apples Uli eats.) He gets away with more pushy and asking her to smile because he amuses her. (she doesn't admit it.)

Despite being guarded, she doesn't really have anything on the strangers she met, so they don't feel her sharp tongue as often. They usually think she is too serious and should smile more often.

Again, Beyond is the exception. When he does a joke he goes "I know you're laughing."

"No, I'm not."

*looks at her*

*tries to stiffle a smile*

Another thing is that these strangers seemingly acts with ease around her. After two-three years butting heads with most of her tribe and spreading sour moods, it comes as a welcome suprise. So she also tries to hold her tongue.

As for dancing, she won't join unless dragged into it. ;)

Hope it made sense and clears things up.

Daaaaaaaw! XD This is fantastic. I adoooore your art-style here.
Looking at this made me realize Cone's body language and her facial expression would grab Beyond's attention instantly. Especially considering a baby elf has just arrived. (He can kinda hone in on people who are very unhappy or just don't allow themselves to be happy.)

Oh Beyond~
Might want to say good-bye to your hat.... Nasya learns much from her sister.

I must admit that I do not know Dr. Who, in other than the most general sense. A doctor who is a timelord. He despises this self. He was in love. Time travels through a blue telephone box.

And I disagree with his analogy that time is a wibly wobly thing. That is sanity.

But still, I really like the image. They look so happy, it makes me smile.
Title: Re: Destinys Non-EQ Art
Post by: Treefox on May 30, 2012, 12:15:01 PM
But they seem so genuinely happy about the time-travelling that I'd like to join. Drawing more than one person is rather challenging, I think, but good practice!
And I looove that charcoal drawing. There's a beautiful realism to it and yet it is so soft.

Thank you Treefox, I'm glad it looks more realistic, I rarely do full face charcoal so this was a real challenge, I can only hope to get more practice in, I've got many years ahead, so I'm grateful for that.

I would like for people to know,
my request bin is open over on DeviantArt
if anyone wants to swing by and request anything I'd be more than happy to produce some works. You can request either pencil work, pen work, or colored work.
Here is where you can find all the information:

I love the drawing of Filhe!  :love (Yes, that is what I've dubbed her in my mind.) The pose is awesome, she is really Go-Back looking in that pose. I can even hear her say "here kitty, kitty! " in my minds ear. To a troll. Or maybe very very excited about finally being your official turn. Her clothes and appearance is just so spot on, can't help but loving it!

I want to congratulate you on managing to keep the eyes, mouth and knife on Shadowtree white. I have tried such images myself, and it has never worked. And really, the rocks look fine.

Last but not least, Wolf's Fern looks great!

Do you plan to upload these in the gallery? Technically, they are all ElfQuest... :hippie

*DIES OF HAPPINESS* Fantastic! I looove the way you draw hair.
Forgot to mention, (actually I forgot to mention a lot of stuff, was so happy to see Wolf's Fern Done by you.) I love the wolfhead chain.  They look so much more elegant and pretty then I could ever get them to look.  The expression is perfect.
Also, the pose! I envy your ability to give characters a normal, relaxed pose.

I think I have Beyond way to much on my mind, because the Shadowtree one actually made me think of him when he's gone over the 'CHAOS! Everything human must fall in chaos! KHAHAHAHA!'-edge .(Was the wild, short semi curly hair and the smile...)
Anyway, I really like it. I love the dark and wild feel it has to it.

As I said on DA in regards to the Go-Back:. Her expression and her pose with the knife makes me think she's hunting for a cowering troll. And you did a fantastic job on her.

You made him look slightly older than what he does in New Blood, and I approve! I like the wolf, seems rather like a cub, and fuzzy. And wonders why Bowki isn't paying more attention to her/him. XD

Haven't had internet for a few days so if I haven't replied on my works or anything, now you know why. I might not be on as much too, I'm planning events and getting ready for college, gotta look for an apartment soon  :gaah
And now its colored. This kind of triggered an idea for a comic that I'm hoping to make. I have the back story but now I just need the plot line.

I've only got accessories for Ember so far but I will post what I've done with Tyleet who is almost half way finished.
And thanks, haha, he reminds me of a character in a book I've been writing, the character is a faerie  :)

Urgh, I hate it when software and programs crash. I hope you were able to save something, at the very least.

Can I just say that I love how you do hair? It looks so soft, and yet so realistically textured. One can clearly see each hair line.

Post by: DestinysGift on August 19, 2012, 04:57:03 PM
Thank you both, the only thing I lost was that new layer I was making... It crashed one second after I saved.

And thank you Startear, I don't know how I do it but I just love fluffy hair, hair that makes you want to just roll in it!

Funny thing... I've had pretty much all those hair styles except the bottom ones... And that's including the colors.

I can't even begin to explain how little of my sketches you guys see...

My friend was requesting art for his youtube page, this was a preliminary sketch to get an idea of the character he wanted.
(http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/244/2/4/phantom_by_kumi4eva-d5d97dm.jpg)

.... I wanted to dance for some odd reason earlier, however Marakka wasn't in the mood for a party so I did the next best thing. I partied with his son Ralleyh. Nilla told me to draw something also.... So yeah, I drew the little party.
(http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/244/2/1/dance_time_by_kumi4eva-d5d97m8.jpg)


Its quite a scary thing when Marakka and I start getting along. A few days ago he would not leave my brain, then I started wondering where my girl Ceirahn disappeared to... Nilla enlightened me on the fact that somehow, her and Darkfire got drunk and Ceirahn accidentally was locked in a jail cell next to Beyond. Marakka and I started dying of laughter at that point, and we had a moment of getting along... Then he started being Marakka again so... Moment was over.

Angry Ceirahn dunking Res into a pond after he had ROLLED THEM INTO IT.
What do you expect Res? Even Smokefeather felt sorry enough to pull him out... But Ceirahn forgave him just moments later~

You guys might not have heard anything with this or would even begin to guess this... But for the passed many weeks I’ve been so frustrated with my art. And I know this is a phase that everyone goes through so many times, but it really seemed like this time I was really going to give up. But then the most amazing thing happened. I got to meet Sonny Strait. I showed him my art and he told me some things that gave me motivation to really push myself into the next level! I really cannot thank him enough, he was so amazing even though I made him late, I’m so glad I talked to him! And me being incredibly shy, it was a hard thing to do.
He got to see Kerryn, Beyond, Gentlestream, Zharo, Shadowtree, Marakka, Oreanah, and Tananek! I'm so glad I went to the convention... It was better than I'd ever could have expected.

Please excuse the face and stuff, it was an anatomy for the body practice and the face was a last moment thought. I'm enjoying drawing detailed clothes far too much...

Sorry about taking so long to comment. I just marvel at the colors. Especially her top. Olive green is just so pretty when shaded. I also like how the top moves.

Perhaps you're not aware, but you have some serious ammount of patience. I would never be able to live with a program that crashes six times.

So work has been very busy and I haven't had the chance to draw as much as I'd like... But I've been mostly writing these days. Things will be slowing down again in the fall so I've just gotta get through the summer.
But I'd like to say I'm back! I really want to get back into drawing again so I'll hopefully be hanging around here more often!

Here's some drawings I did earlier in the year

* clears throat *
Well now... This is quite awkward.
Those of you which follow my deviantart know that I have been out of work since January, and since then begun my reobsession with Pirates.
I don't draw quite as often as I used to, however I wish to change that this year. Slowly returning to art, I think I can balance it with my constant writing (my novels have become somewhat of a priority with the thoughts of college).
Meanwhile here is some of what I was able to regurgitate of my art inspiration.

Work, Work, and more work. I haven't been on the internet much, but I plan to make my return ( I've said this a million times but I swear its true ) and with that, I am doing art commissions and trades in order to save up money. I'm currently so broke that it's not even funny, and it's been a struggle trying to pay rent and car insurance and everything -- life has just not been kind. The only one getting me through this is my wonderful girlfriend, and I'm hoping with the new season I can be back where I once was, drawing elves and making plans for college.

College is in the works, for now, here's some older pieces that one I never got around to finishing.
