Description Hubris, it had been a while since i last illustrated him, so i thought a revamp was in order.

I used one of the bow designed i had done previously and just painted a bit here and there.
The character surprisingly (not) didn't come out quite as i expected, not beause of the concept but because of more technical aspects, aka painting style, not quite satisfied with it yet and i need some tweaks. Don't we all?

previous illustration was done back in 2008[link]


there is some of his background story and how he came to be and meet Γ‰ron and the rest of the gang. He tells more and there a whole lot more of coincidences/intertwined story lines, that is something i thought previously to writing my book, all the storyline have something in common, one element that brings them together, but i made it subtle so that only the more curious reader would figure out.

here's a small synopsis, i promised this a long time ago, no one knew who Hubris was until now so have fun

"Hubris was once a light elf. Like so many other of his kind he lived on the elven city of Eldamidri and he was devoted to his father and his mother. He was young, very young when the extermination squads of king Etalleh stromed through the city vanquishing all in it's path, Hubris saw his loved ones and his fellow elves be slaughtered at the hands of the soldiers, there was nothing he could have done to protect them, neither could they.
After the attack he thought his life had no meaning, so he tried taking his life, but he failed, no warrior could defeat him in battle, no cliff was too tall to take his life away so he ran, he ran far far away to the north, and eventually he reached the Dark Elven city of Ivyster, just north of the Elven capital (not Eldamidri) he ventured off inside the mountain driven by sorrow and eventually his skin turned grey and dark, he learned from the Dark Elven and on day he knew there was something he should do, there was something inside him that needed freedom, the sorrow and pain he felt needed to be wiped, so one night he dare to steal the bow of splendor from the dark elven and like before he ran. He went from siege to siege looking for someone worthy of taking his life, looking for someone worthy to also make him want to live, he searched for a meaning."

i might upload some school work or same pages from my sketchbook tomorrow or monday, busy busy busy, trying not to rust digital wise

It's great to see the art, but I also find the history behind it fascinating. xD You might as well check my RP character Ambrose, her info is just flooded.

And np, I'm glad to have come across it.

Hubishhh */fangirl*

NΓ£o podia deixar de comentar nele XD
The first thing i notice it's the awkward pose. It's good on the first impression, but when you spend a bit of your time "studying" it, we get a strange feeling.
The design of the armor and bow is awesome. I love the shiny over his shoulder through his arm.

I keep saying you should work on your hairs because it stands out due to the it's quality compared to the rest of the image. The shoulder thing you already know, so i won't talk about it again. I only suggest that, in the future, vary Hubris poses. He always has poses in the same "line" but with some variations. He's an archer, he should get kickass poses XD with a mix of dynamic of course.

<3


hubishhhhh....

pois mas nunca percebi bem porque Γ© que gostas tanto dele
e por andar sempre tite eh

its not that awkward if you really see it through though
it just looks awkward because i didn't paint it as it should, it has a lot of movement and i basically just didn't use enough elements for that movement, or the ones i did lack it

thank you
yeah yeah im not gonna comment on that on the poses and you know perfectly why
also im starting to work more the hairs now right?

hihihihihihih
hubishhhhhhhhhhh

ElisaBaroqueS In reply to NightmareGK13 [2011-01-20 18:22:14 +0000 UTC]

dunno
gosto imenso dele. a maneira como ele Γ© fisicamente e taffu. Dunno, tenho pancas XD

well, but those elements maybe would make a considerable diference in the pose, it depends how it would be done. But, oh well, moving forward

yesss, the hairs are getting better.

hey cool
nice to see you back again every so often

thank you, i felt going dark on him would emphasize his personality but at the same time i was worried about the too dark colors
i agree on the lighter background, and ill try and see what i can do since im not totally happy with it

proportion wise and so on i'll have to be yet again stubborn as heck
i did some overpaint to see how would everything fit and showed the whole painting to one of my teachers that also knows quite alot about anatomy and is taking his masters or doctors or whatever on anatomy and everything fits hell have a blog up sometime before the end of the year so when it's out ill share it with everyone

about the shading your right i do have to work on that a whole lot more
thanks

I like this; the pose is good, you have a nice shine on the metal and detailed armour. The outfit and bow remind me of the Anima art that `Wen-M does.
