Description "Wash away
The decay of your life
Feel the light of your eyes
Find the way
Through the darkness tonight
Fearing no one"

-"Rise", Disturbed

Ha, well, it took me 3 years, but I FINALLY finished a decent picture of one of my favourite OCs, Eris. Man, I started developing this character in grade 9, and she's certainly been through a lot of changes (I even think she was a guy at one point .) She's your standard dark heroine who usually ends up saving the day when the brooding hero wigs out over a little blood. She can be one tough bitch, but is also deeply loving. In the beginning, I didn't really care about her, but I've grown fond of her.

Anyway, is this piece, she's preparing to blow a 'mort vivant' to smithereens. Have fun with that

I'm happy with how the colouring turned out in this one; I love the blues. I should work with more blues, especially blue skin. It's so much fun

Yeeeeah, I got sloppy with the colouring, but I still like it
(Why did this take me half the time of a chibi to do? *__* )

DO FINGER BEAMS! (that look little like fingers... cough...)

I like this alot, she looks realy pretty and I like the lighting on her eyes. The monster kind creeps me out but he looks cool. Love the blue tones and her hair. Great job!

First of all, I am pleased to tell you that I am adding this piece to my favourites. = )

The color scheme is beautiful, and the piece is very eye-catching. I'm normally one to love traditional art, and your traditional pieces really caught my eye, but you have such a unique style that the medium used doesn't seem to matter. This character is very interesting as well. I admit I thought that she was a he at first, but the more I look at her the more feminine she becomes. Fanart worthy

I think that the piece would seem even more interesting if you added more creatures/creepies to the background, or even if you dedicated a bit more space to the toothy menace. Perhaps if you added the outlines of its body, or something. The texture seems a bit out of place, given the sleek curvy nature of the rest of the piece. A few suggestions.

I hope to see more of Eris in the future (Black hair and icy blue eyes look great together! My Rhase doesn't look too different, except, well, he has near white eyes and is male XD You can't help but love that contrasting color combo.)

-Fin XD

Dear, I love your comments. There's always so much to them, and a lot of insight. Thank you for that

Thank you very much for the fav, first of all. I'm glad you like it! Ha.. Eris is somewhat boyish, but perhaps that is just her style. Originally, there were MANY more monsters in the background. The original sketch had several in the foreground, then a large army in the background, but I wasn't sure how to make it work well with my current skills. Perhaps when I master detail of the sort

I might be doing more Eris artwork sometime. I like her design, and she's great for action scenes. Do you have any pictures of Rhase up? I'd like to see him!

Iro-Nique In reply to Buuya [2005-07-13 00:13:16 +0000 UTC]

Sadly, I have no finished pictures of Rhase yet. I do have a plethora of concept sketches, and a handful of unfinished 'complete' sketches. . . if that made any sense at all. I suppose I could finish up the random shirtless picture of him (He was only shirtless so I could work out his tattoo, I swear XD) and upload the sketch into scraps. I intend to color it eventually, after I finish the picture of Door, Sabre, the anthropomorphic leopard, Chime, etc. etc. lol

I wish it didn't take me such a bloody long time to color! >_O It doesn't help that I have some form of ADD and am easily bored, either. My poor deviantART account. . . it weeps for me to get into an artistic mood. Unfourtunitely this slump has lasted for nearly a year. It's sad, really.

Ah well, I'll try to have the sketch up within the week. His anatomy is giving me some troubles, though. Scrawny men are hard to draw. . . O_o; especially when said scrawny man is inhuman and I have to figure out how his creature-features can blend nicely with his human-ish form. Of course, that is the fun part, isn't it? lol.

Oh, and to end this epic post I give thee a bit of advice:

Hands. Draw your own! I used to have so much trouble with hands, myself, but now I enjoy drawing them. Simply doodle your hand holding the pen/cil you are drawing with, making various gestures, etc. It really helps. If you find yourself stumped (no pun intended) just use your own hand as a model. = )

-Fin! XD

Buuya In reply to Iro-Nique [2005-07-15 01:08:35 +0000 UTC]

Scrawny men can be VERY hard to draw. When I try it, they usually end up with lollipop heads

Don't worry, we all have slumps. I can't wait to see you upload some artwork, though

Haha, I have art ADD. I work on five piece at a time and usually only finish 1 of them

Oh, hands. Would you believe that I DO draw my own hands? I'm working on it, and I can draw hands with traditional media, but I find digital hand-drawing (and especially cell-shading hands) to be damn near impossible. Explain that one to me

Iro-Nique In reply to Buuya [2005-07-15 15:20:08 +0000 UTC]

hmmmm, as I am not a digital artist even on my PC's best of days, I can only give you crap advice. *Ahem*: Scan your hands in various poses and practice CGing over them O_o;

lol, sorry. On the CG front, I am rather worthless XD

Meh, I should really take a picture of my bed right now and upload it into scraps. . . my artistic ADD knows no bounds! lol, I have about 14.7 pieces sprawled across my mattress, and that number is attained by adding up the fractionals of what is done in each piece and excludes what is not. XD

Maybe I'll finish SOMETHING before the summer is over > >; If I don't, I will have to chain myself to a chair and superglue a 4B to my right hand. lol. wait, no, I was serious. O_o;

Lollipop heads? lol, my problem is that I still try to give my scrawny men muscles. Needless to say, it is kind of hard to draw a scrawny muscle XD But anyway, on the scrap front, Rhase's sketch is looking pretty good. I'm pretty sure the scrap will be up by sunday, assuming that I'm not pulled from my house by gorilla-sized Llamas to be worshipped in some freak procrastinator cult as a new goddess.

er, yeah. Fin! o.o; (anyone else notice that my posts are getting progressivly longer? scary.)

Ooh, pretty. In a scary, toothy monster and scary not-toothy-as-far-as-I-know girl sort of way.

Seriously, the girl is cool, but the monsterthingy is freakin' AWESOME. The texture you have on the background, the way it comes out of the dark... it's creepy, and it really WORKS. Fav.

Absolutely wonderful, Buuya, major props! (gives you a 20 ft prop of a purple llama) I adore the coloring on this, smooth and dark, and you did great with all the blue hues. I also think the freakish monster thingy in the back is so huggable! I must have a plushie of it... Yeah, and the only flaw I can see at the moment is the hand, which seems a bit fat at the bottom the finger. Great pic, Buuya, you rock at Photoshop!
