Description 2/5 Gifts - This time for Because he's a nice person, and managed to jump on the journal offer! x3 Instead of a character ref. I was presented with a text - below is the paragraph I chose to interpret...

"He slowed his pace as he felt the sand and shingle beneath his feet, eventually stopping just at the water's edge, scrunching the sand between his toes just as he had done as a child, with an impish grin. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, clearing his mind and concentrating on filling that little figurative statue of himself with pure white light, the wave of energy slowly swelling within him as the little figure filled to the brim. As he concentrated the world seemed to slip away, sounds became muted, he could no longer feel the warmth of the sun nor the gentle breeze coming from the sea and he could no longer define any smells. This was the moment he had to attain and maintain if his offering was to be successful. A pure connection between himself and Nalsir, nothing to distract him, nothing to hide from her, earnest and honest in his supplication to her and true in his request for her guidance and protection. Anything less would be a snub to her.
Slowly he opened his eyes, adjusting to the strength of the light, but still maintaining his trance like state. He focused his gaze on a point on the horizon, far out to sea, and crossing his hands, palms upon his chest, began his address to Mother Nalsir."

Lovely eyes, and I really like the bluw reflection on his fur. Perhaps it should have been the same colour blue but the shade you chose is really nice, so.. I have no idea

Faelourn In reply to Dkelabirath [2010-07-22 16:34:53 +0000 UTC]

Teehee, thankies!
Originally, he was actually a brown wolf, a lot more natural-looking The blue was a happy-mistake when I tried to let Photoshop correct the contrast, somehow! lol Anyways, I just had to let Karel choose, and blue one won. Funnies.

Dkelabirath In reply to Faelourn [2010-07-22 17:34:35 +0000 UTC]

The blue was very nice, I have no idea how you managed to get that colour through contrast-correction but good! I hope that the commissioner liked it

Ahh.. sorry
I'm really happy to have mine though. And I expect this will attract more people. Art trades are good, or commissions for Points?

Faelourn In reply to Dkelabirath [2010-07-29 23:09:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, no art is a waste of time really I'll probably do some cheapish commissions soon, getting desperate on the whole job front. lol

Awww Thank you! Believe me, it's taken a looong time for me to be this happy about a finished pic :3 As cliche as it may sound, practice is everything ._. Hehe. Really glad you like this Carry on with your own stuff, you have great character concepts so far!

WolfSaint In reply to Faelourn [2010-07-21 00:24:44 +0000 UTC]

You look at my art?!
Im flattered!
sorry if that sounded rude, but not many people actually look at my gallery, so when someone notices, I feel really great. thanks for taking time out of your day to look at my art!
keep making pieces that I can put in my favorites!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Faelourn In reply to WolfSaint [2010-07-21 10:00:16 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, is no trouble! In fact, it only takes 2 clicks to get to your gallery =/ I don't understand people who fave something and not bother looking at the rest, just because it's that easy! XD
But yeah, do more of Abdiel Really though, you have a good grasp of anatomy, and that's always a huge help! The only thing I could recommend to you would be running your scanned things through a program which will restore white balance, and mebbe crop off the side that's been pulled from the book...unless you like to have that bit there of course! Hehe. Feel free to note me if you want any help with it :3

Anyways! Cat coming next I think! Hehe, a big thank you again.

WolfSaint In reply to Faelourn [2010-07-22 22:07:16 +0000 UTC]

Im really partial to reptile type anthros, or "scalies".
But I do like animals that are rarely used in art.

Faelourn In reply to WolfSaint [2010-07-25 21:17:31 +0000 UTC]

Hey yeah, I almost forgot them, somehow! >_< So many interesting lizard species etc. out there which would make great anthros, mebbe I'll try one some time! Love your Buck character, now you mention it. He has great arms! Teehee.

WolfSaint In reply to Faelourn [2010-07-25 23:18:59 +0000 UTC]

I try to make what im good at stand out.
I can only draw furries or scalies. humans escape me...

Faelourn In reply to WolfSaint [2010-07-26 17:51:43 +0000 UTC]

I understand ._. I suppose using photo reference is the only way to get round it, but it can still be so hard! Though, minus his head, Buck's anatomy is a really great example of human anatomy, so don't give up just yet! XD

Meg-James [2010-07-20 21:55:18 +0000 UTC]

This is very nice-looking! The fur has a great texture. I like how the yellow in the eyes really stands out against the blue tones in the rest of the picture.

Faelourn In reply to Meg-James [2010-07-20 22:20:06 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you! He was originally brown, but yeah, this blue version does help his eyes come forward Glad you like it!
