Description Haven't had a time to manip and draw for a long time, with Nanowrimo and other stuff. Besides, I really had to fight with poor dying laptop - touchpad has been going crazy, and keeps moving the cursor off. Now try and use tablet (or a mouse, for that matter) like that...

This is a picture that I promised for my sister for her birthday. She's very keen on the awesome guy you can see on the picture - our mutual good friend, and so she requested I'd make a picture about him.

Worked on it for over 2 weeks or so, and finally completely redid the entire background and idea, with the guardian angel constantly telling me: no, I don't want THAT backdrop, no, I don't want wings, why don't you draw me a wing-like cape instead etc etc.

So, this is my birthday present for ~QueenLily , my dearest lil sis. She's a very special person and the kindest most caring soul I've ever met. I think she's trying to hug the entire world. I just wish the world would return the favour more often.



STOCK USED:

*sarahebear-stock (the gorgeous little girl)

Definitely one of the best manips in your gallery. You're about only person using textures for landscapes that I can stand and actually like... The painted cape somehow goes well with the realistic landscape, thanks to the swirls. Excellent

Already saw Cause I'm watching you Daleios (the guy on the pic) saw the picture, too, and he was very happy with it. He kept asking about the little girl, and so did my other model, so Josephine has become quite famous in Estonia Everybody likes her so much.

When I went into the stock business this is what I always hoped to see as the sort of result. Outstanding work! I'm proud to have my stock used in it and think the composition is wonderful. Thank you VERY much again and nice work!

Mithgariel In reply to MercGribern [2008-11-30 00:28:58 +0000 UTC]


That is the highest praise an artist can get, at least that's what I think - that the stock artist is happy with what's being done.

I really, really loved the landscape. It was just perfect, and so easy to work with.

I usually go off hiking seeking adventure, fantasy, etc, all the sorts of stuff you read about in books, so for me to see the manips such as this one, well it's a vindication in a way, a good one too

Martin näeb tõesti kaitseingellik välja. Ma ei saa ainult aru miks laps nii ehmunud näoga on... Loodus on ka võrratu. Eriti see üksildane puu.

Tähh.
Muuseas, tüdruku ilmet saab ilmselt väga mitmeti interpreteerida, sest variandid, mida on pakutud, on ka - hoiab naeru tagasi, hakkab kohe nutma... jne
Aga see taust on super jah. Ma lugesin selle kohta, et mingi endine USA sõjaväeala.

Happy you like it. That was some hard work, especially with the guardian angel being a pain in the ass Besides literary characters, I also have my manip chars in my head. It's getting very crowded.

Siobhan68 In reply to Mithgariel [2008-11-29 11:42:20 +0000 UTC]

Assign them numbers and order them to stand in line...
Maybe that helps!

Siobhan68 In reply to Mithgariel [2008-11-29 12:53:19 +0000 UTC]

Nope... Usually I inhale deeply and yell at them... once. In most cases that's enough. With characters in your head... well That is something different I suppose.

Mithgariel In reply to Siobhan68 [2008-11-29 15:59:13 +0000 UTC]

But could you try? I mean- I don't want them to shut up, but they COULD learn some discipline, AND stand in line.

Siobhan68 In reply to Mithgariel [2008-11-29 16:10:17 +0000 UTC]

I could try... So if you hear some serious yelling, evil curses and heads banged against walls... don't worry. I'll just try to bring some order in your head!
I promise I'll try NOT to kill ANY character of yours. That is YOUR job!

Mithgariel In reply to Siobhan68 [2008-11-29 16:35:29 +0000 UTC]

THANK YOU I really need that.
And no - I don't actually kill them - mostly I'm trying to hold them back from committing suicide... OK, so I will kill some bastards this time. But they're bastards.
