Description First of all, Pluto is NOT a planet...
It's just that the real name couldn't fit in the title bar .....

Anyways, this is one of the images from my Solar System series: Trans-Neptunian objects... they're all object the size of Pluto that circle around the Sun behind Neptun's orbit... in other words bigger asteroids, or as they're called now Dwarf planets...
You can tell who's Pluto, God of the Dead... the other objects are souls from the Underworld... Maori-style masks with some plasma, or strange "essence" coming out from them...
The ice and fur symbolises that these objects are far from the Sun so the temperatures on them are extremely low...

Again, inked sketch coloured with watercolours.... the ice gave me a lot of trouble
the scanner ruined the colours, and the shrinking killed the details.... also, the original isn't so messy, really ....

Well, I can't say which object will be next, or when will it be done ...
I have some ideas for the Sun, Uranus, Mars and the Main Belt asteroids...
Although I'll just stick to some simple and quick stuff now that I'm not home...

YAY! its Pluto! How cool is that.

Now this is a guy I can relate to. Well, actually Murcury is more of a guy i can relate to...but yeah.
Very cool. Great job on the colors and little detailies
Must be a dismal place where he comes from.

hehe, thanks
this was fun... rather challenging, but fun...

I should post bigger images of some of the details... the shrinking and bad scanning really killed them ...

yup, just think how's it like to be surrounded only by dark and frozen materia ....

I'll take that as a complment

well, it is different... you can feel the textures and watercolours... here I added contrast so you can feel the colours... the original is a lto paler, but the details are much more visible and clear...

Great job dear ^_^

wow, tnx a lot for the nice comment
the thig I was worried is the contrast between the strong brown/grey tones I used for him and the pale blue and gray I used for the rest of the picture... it sort of looked unfinished

well, it is really bad compared to the original ...
it is all messed up and blury, with too much contrast that kills the details...

p-korle In reply to alitaisonfire [2006-10-16 19:41:37 +0000 UTC]

Pluto is a god, no doubt about that...
but there are also other objects in the solar system that have god's names and aren't planets...
like the lates one: Eris ... hehe, good name... (Eris is one of the masks circling arround Pluto)

I don't really draw macabre or grose things...
besides, a Greek god should be more divine than nasty... (that's why I'm having problems with Mars ...)

heeey, thats nice~ *w*
the ice looks really good. it took me a while to notice it, but now i love it. his horns are also cool... they look like...well, real horns : DDD not some weird fakes >3<

p-korle In reply to minnamon [2006-10-16 16:16:37 +0000 UTC]

heh, tnx
the ice really isn't so faint on the original... but in order to make the colours look good I had to do a lot of processing that unfortunately killed the light shadings of the ice ....
I'm learning how to draw nice horns slowly
although they are assymetrical... needed that for the composition
