Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When crow's emotions get to the limit, these shut down to prevent a total colapse of the mind and focusing it all into power, giving birth to Haze Crow. So silent, so cold, without any kind of feelings, he can vanish into the dense fog he creates and then stab you in the back with one of his lethal attacks...

This was made for my Art Class, I decided to give it a shot to watercolor and I really really LOVED the results!
It wasn't as hard as I thought but it wasn't simple too, the colors that I managed to obtain, the feeling and the entire technique makes me feel so satisfied with this drawing.

About the concept. This is a total redesign of: [link] and I like this one a THOUSAND times better, I decided to cut a little the angelic style and add feathers like a more "aztec" feeling into the character. Anyway, you'll notice the differences.
The drawing is actually a lot bigger, you can see the two trees completely and with lots of crows standing in the branches but since my scanner isn't that big this got cut down. Maybe I'll upload a foto later.

Next I'll probably do Blood Crow (again) because I like him too much

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cuando las emociones del cuervo llegan a su límite, estas se apagan por completo para evitar un colapso en la mente y concentran todo en poder puro, dando lugar a Cuervo de Niebla. Silencioso, frío, sin ninguna clase de sentimientos, puede desvanecerse en la niebla que él crea a partir del escenario de su corazón y despedasarte sin previo aviso...

Este es un trabajo para mi taller de arte, decidí intentar algo nuevo como las acuarelas y de verdad me encantó!
No fue tan dificil como temía pero tampoco fue cosa fácil. Los colores que obtuve, el sentimiento y todo lo que tiene que ver con la técnica me gustó tanto que me dejaron muy satisfecho con este dibujo.

Sobre el concepto. Rediseñé por completo este personaje: [link] y me gusta este MIL VECES MÁS! Decidí quitarle un poco lo angelical y le agregé más plumas de manera que tuviera un "tema" un poco más mesoamericano prehispánico. El resto de las diferencias creo que son suficientemente notorias.
El dibujo en si es mucho más grande pero no cupo en el escaner así que se cortó. Originalmente se pueden ver los dos árboles completos repletos de cuervos en las ramas. Probablemente luego le tome una foto.

El siguiente que haré será quizás Cuervo de Sangre (de nuevo) porque me gusta mucho XD Aunque quizás haga a Cuervo de Luz o Cuervo de Pecado, ya que no conocen a ninguno de esos.

Nice coloring! And you did this with watercolor?? Fascinating...watercolor is sort of messy. When I first looked at this piece I thought you used colored pencils.

Anyway, it was definitely a good idea to use two colors consistently on the character's design. Although it might be a good idea to make the "haze" enveloping the character a bit more noticeable around him. But I think what you really intended to do was just focus on the character's design and not block anything out.

I am really impressed though. You took watercoloring to a new level.

Yep, even though water colors are really difficult to use, if well done, they can give amazing effect to any drawing.

Yeah, I didn't made haze cover him because mostly I liked it too much as to make it less visible It even "hurt" me adding haze into his right hand XD

Thanks a lot! glad you like it!
Anyway, if there is a real PRO using watercolors, he must be *emperpep I can say he was my inspiration for this drawing

CrownedHarpia In reply to Shi-Gu [2010-10-04 01:12:01 +0000 UTC]

They are. Sometimes if you use too much water the color can spread all over the page. I used to use as little water as possible and cake color all over the brush before painting. XDDD

I know what you mean. You can spend so much time on just one part of the drawing, only to realize that you intend to cover that part up with something else...like clothes or something. - - It really sucks.

The trick is to use a piece of kitchen paper and just before painting anything, give it a little touch with the brush to take off the big water drop that spreads in the first touch, that way you can prevent the water spreading all over the picture and oyu can paint freely even if your color is pretty solved into water

CrownedHarpia In reply to Shi-Gu [2010-10-04 02:07:55 +0000 UTC]

I'll be sure to remember that. I used to just wipe the brush along the edge of the water bowl, but then I did that too much and before I knew it, I had to put more color back on the brush. XDXDXD

I guess when you get used to it, you really can make good things with it.

Shi-Gu In reply to CrownedHarpia [2010-10-04 02:16:30 +0000 UTC]

yep, as for what you said, trust me, that edge trick doesn't make so much difference, there's still a big drop in the tip of the brush, only something with absorbing "powers" can do the trick ;D

True. I guess I should try it out sometime. I haven't painted in a while...

I'm not as amazed of how different this form is from the original but more of how much difference there is to the art style. I mean, the way you draw now is so amazing compared to the last one.
But on to this drawing. I do like this version of this form much more the the original. The other one had a lot of things that it really didn't needed and was more more about looking flashy. However, you got rid of a lot of it, mostly the rings and stuff like that, and made it more simple and more frighting really. He does look a lot more evil like this, the expression and the eyes do give it a more frighting look, and I like him more because of that. The wings are, by the way, excellent. Also, I do like his right hand a lot.
Do to your art style changing so fast it's getting harder to keep up with you. STOP GETTING SO GOOD!! I CAN'T FOLLOW YOU!!!

THANKS DUDE!
The coloring style is so different because the other one was made with pencil colors and this one is made with watercolors, a much more pro technique but also a lot harder and takes much more time.
About the design, indeed I managed to improve the "cold look" which has a little more to do with Haze Crow than the past design, that as you said, was a little too flashy and like "OMG LOOK I'M BADASS" but didn't actually had the HAZE CROW feeling.
Yeah, wings are pretty cool, I liked the multicolor feather idea

I won't stop so you should try and go faster!

Shi-Gu In reply to DreamBones [2010-09-18 22:49:34 +0000 UTC]

Si, en especial porque es una técnica de velocidad, tienes que mojar el pincel antes de que se seque lo que ya pintaste porque si no se nota el cambio de color y aparte quitar el exceso de pintura con un trapo o algo y dios, si se te pasó ya quedó feo D:

Yeah, cuernos + garras + cola = EPICO XD

Oh si, pero ya sabes lo que dicen: "Si las mejores cosas de la vida fueran algo fácil y sencillo, cualquiera las haría" o algo así XD

jajaja, yo quiero hacerme unas alas, pero dado que siempre quedan horribles las alas de angelito que usan en las representaciones y en el teatro, será dificil
Yo creo que más que intentar superar mi obseción ya acepté que nunca lo dejaré XD
