Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Multimedea on July 06, 2010, 06:50:23 PM: All of these are really fabulous! I think I like the mushroom one the best. I'm rather impressed with how you treat your light and shadows.

Post by: silentleaf on July 20, 2010, 09:40:31 AM: Oh thank you kindly! sorry it took me so long to thank you for your comment! i didn't get a notice of comments lol=) OK so the drawing i did above of the pirate costume.. here is the real life version.. after LOTS of drama with undelivered items and working around "RAGE" here is Crimson Doubloon aka me at Ventura Harbor Pirate days . I had people asking me all day where i got it and if i would share who i got it from! HAAA gotta say that made me feel pretty good.

Post by: Multimedea on July 20, 2010, 05:03:46 PM: Loving the distressed look of the bodice. :o Is it real leather/suede?
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: silentleaf on July 20, 2010, 05:31:26 PM: It was going to be... but the place i ordered it from.. well they NEVER FREAKING sent it.. SOOOOOOOO mad... on the up side i found one at the mall for 50 bucks.... i was going to bleach the black out of it and dye it ... sadly its almost impossible to bleach polyester.. ha. "spray paint enter stage right. a light tan color and a darker red. with some touch up along seams to add darkness and VaWALLAAA you have a corset that might or might not be leather. i did it the night of the show too. it also held up great after 2 days of hard wear. =)
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Treefox on July 22, 2010, 05:34:42 AM: You are truly marvelous looking, girl! I'm so in love with your art, especially your bold use of color. It always seems to turn out good! My favorite is the little girl with the book. And the pirate sketch as well as the real live version are just awesome! I love that you have grog mug on your belt. Even though I like that this page is focused on EQ art, it's so great that we get a chance to see people's other works as well.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: silentleaf on July 22, 2010, 08:34:22 AM: Aw thanks treefox your very sweet=) I just had so much fun i couldn't help sharing.

Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Treefox on July 25, 2010, 08:01:52 AM: Again, nice composition. I love the orange against the colder green and blue colors. Also the design of the "oriental" clouds is wonderful. I also think that you manage to get across elfin and human anatomy differences very well.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: silentleaf on July 28, 2010, 08:46:22 AM: ha! it looks like i'm becoming a costume designer.. lol concept sketch for one of the new girls
long slashed coat bits hanging down behind her. bone buttons and details, animal teeth. Also thinking the edges of the coat should look a little chard.

Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Treefox on July 30, 2010, 04:29:06 AM: Ooooh! I like it a lot! It's so kick-ass! I also like the black-red color combo. Hopefully we'll also get to see the results. I think a costume designer is not the worst thing to become.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Multimedea on July 30, 2010, 06:26:55 AM: Great design, Silentleaf! Very colorful and dynamic. Adding a touch or two of white lace to the outfit would really frame the rest well and give the character a bit of ladylike-ness to contrast with her kickassery. ;D
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: silentleaf on July 30, 2010, 09:53:25 AM: LOl thanks guys. i wish they wanted her to be a lady.. ha.. shes going to end up being voodoo ish, with an alligator baldric "sword holding thingy" . with Bones bones and such. going to get some hair extensions and make braids and add beads and stuff to her hair too. A new design is on the way . they want sleeveless, i'll post a finished pic once its made =) shes going to be like a bad ass pirate calypso. but no black teeth haha. the girl wearing this is sassy and sexy, and very concerned with image.

Post by: silentleaf on April 05, 2011, 06:23:12 PM: OK so I’m in a mermaid group. We recently did an awesome mermaid photo shoot. They guy that did the tails for splash hooked us up. I've offered my services to some of the ladies in the group. So here is the first commission of mermaid illustrations!

Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Treefox on April 06, 2011, 07:50:46 AM: Whaaat?! You got to do real mermaid pics? I am sooo envious!
Anyway, your mermaid looks gorgeous. The pose and her face are lovely!
Actually, I just did a mermaid drawing for a book illustration last weekend. It looks a bit the same, I must admit. I hope I can post it soon, too.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: silentleaf on April 06, 2011, 08:37:17 AM: i could post some of the pics if you like =) i had a BLAST

Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Treefox on April 22, 2011, 11:12:54 AM: These are beyond cool! What wouldn't I have given to be able to take pictures like that. It really shows that you had fun.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Faerydae on July 22, 2011, 06:26:47 PM: VERY cool! The first MerCon is this August! Are you going to be there? I wish that I could, but we are just helping to sponsor it this year.

Post by: silentleaf on July 23, 2011, 09:25:38 AM: nope i wish. funds are pretty tight this year. but i would LOVE TO.

Post by: silentleaf on January 16, 2012, 11:26:26 PM: well its been FOREVER since I posted anything but EQ arts. SO much calendar stuff going on in Photoshop. Here is a fan art of a FANTASTIC book by Mercedes Lackey

Meet Belladonna Blue. MetaHealer and sassy blue skinned chicka do.

done in photo shop super fast maybe 30 mins?

Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Treefox on January 17, 2012, 12:32:15 AM: Oh yeah, both rock! I also think you do humans very well. They looks different from elves, yet beautiful. You have a good way of creating light moods with your pictures. The mermaid really looks like she's underwater with light coming through the surface.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Startear on June 04, 2012, 02:11:33 PM: Man, I love those pirate clothing designs. Everything is great of course, but I like the pirate costumes most. They manage to be really cool, but looks wearable.
Title: Re: silentleaf - this that and randomness
Post by: Multimedea on June 04, 2012, 04:29:50 PM: I really like that 'gypsy-maid' piece. The color choices are great! It kinda reminds me of a series that somebody did of all the Disney girls done as mermaids. :)
