Description I wanted to go back and redraw all my Raiwani characters, which is my own breed of... strange dark-skinned people with big ears. I haven't drawn a few of them in quite a while, namely Ibis and Rivec, and I wanted to make sure their appearances or features weren't muddling into one, so I tried to emphasize their differences, and it was much easier when they were all right next to each other.

Rivec is my original Raiwani, and I was determined to draw him without his tophat on - mostly because I felt like I was using it as a copout to draw the top of his head. SO TAKE THAT. I have defeated you, bangs and top of head. :d Rivec is crude, but a goof. He says dirty things but is less likely to carry them out. He does it mainly to get a reaction from people, as you can see - he's an attention whore. In general he means well, mischievous as he is.

Ibis is the charmer - the talker, the looker. He's also albino. There's much more to him than he would rather anyone know, as he lures people in with false identities or 'masks'. A talented actor, he assumes many roles in order to woo various people. Very few know what he is truly like underneath all these personas. He's capable of being cruel and caring, but is ultimately very vain and selfish.

Anwar is a bastard. The end. Cold and heartless, he thrives in the pain and suffering in others. Granted, he thinks he's giving them quite the honor dealing them such pain and torture - but few would feel the same. X3 There is very little good in Anwar - and what's there is so contorted by his demented thoughts, it's hardly ever seen as good.

Isham, at last, is the most tame of the bunch, but hardly the most normal. He's a bookworm, and a devoted student in ancient magic. He's quiet and timid, spending little time or devoting little thought to anything else but his studies. He is distant and quiet, and is often overlooked. Few have the patience to put up with his constant studying and practice, and he's lost many lovers to jelousy of his books and magic. So deep and enthralled in his world of magic, it's easy for him to forget the humanity and kindness of others, and has become rather hermitlike - intentionally avoiding human contact.

...whew! That was a mouthful, but it's interesting for me to read what other people's characters are like, so I thought I'd offer up some descriptions, in case anyone's interested.

The color schemes really reflect their personalities. You can really tell what they're like by the colors and poses.

Hey these guys are really neat. Is there any way that I could maybe be allowed to draw one of your chars or try my hand at a Raiwani character? Thought Id ask before I went all fan girl on you

euphoriaandsorrow [2006-09-30 19:11:25 +0000 UTC]

Fantastic!!
Ah, I simply adore Ibis and Isham....
Isham needs a hug.
Or a warm cat.
Also, it's always fun to read about the characters of others, so thanks a lot for including their personalities.
I adore it, and wish I knew how you did it, though I guess with some awfully complicated artshop or something that I can't comprehend.
Still, the coloring is marvelous.

I remember them! i used to wonder how they were like... (personalities and all, I mean) My favourites are Rivec and Ibis^^ Anwar and Isham look pretty too..
Isham's expression makes me think a bit of Wade... Love his glasses!!

I've already fallen in love with Isham & Ibis.
And thank you for the description, I can always understand a person's character better if they have just a little bit about them written for the public.

I enjoyed reading about them; as I would read about one character I would go back and look at his picture and think, "Yeah, I can see that," so I think you did a good job on both describing and rendering them.

Also, "I have defeated you, bangs and top of head!"? :giggles:

*squeals with glee* RIVEC! IBIS~! ANWAR!

hehe, luv! it's good to see them again. esp. rivec. it isn't sarah w/o the occasional rivec. well, maybe it is, but he certainly seems like he's important to your art somehow.

ibis looks a little softer in the features somehow, but i really like that change. he looks more like ibis!

it still freaks me out, anwar being blond (he wasn't always, was he? or did i imagine him with black hair? i could just being going insane. er. insaner? insanerer? awk.) but i think it fits him.

isham is a very cool new charry. especially that drawing; i think that really reflects his true self quite well!

Weeeee, it inflates Rivec's ego muchly to hear this. HEHEHE. And yes, I actually softened Ibis up a bit, because he's so. well. Ibis. It suited him.

And Anwar has always been blonde - it was a bit darker before though. Maybe more of a strawberry/dirty blonde. I brightened it up a bit to contrast with his skin.

madonnawayne [2006-04-10 15:37:15 +0000 UTC]

This is just fantasmic! They all have such independent personalities and appearances...I love it!
Wow.....Rivec, well he definetely has retained his character, hasn't he?
Ibis is just lovely (physically, at least) as usual...I love the way you colored his hair. I don't know why, but I'm a sucker for white + orange red.
I absolutely love Anwar's facial characteristics! He definetely looks so exotic and foreign, absolutely delightful! X0
And Isham.......well I just want him to have my babies, now don't I? XD I am in love with his mutton chops...I adore the look on his face. Like he could care less if the world was exploding around him, he just wants to read his book.

iSHAM is like... Gorgeous dudette. I adore his hair. Nice and slick and softtttt. Pettable. All your guys are incredible to look at, they're so friggen droolworthy. Yet iSHAM gets that little bit extra drool on him. Just because of the hair. Anwar sure looks like the cranky sort. >3 And the nails on iBIS are kinda scary, kinda kinky. o.O Heeheehee
The lineart is so fine this time compared to what I've seen from you lately, and it's so... Delicate. It suits this piece awesomely because it all just seems to fade into one another, the colouring/lineart/surrounding glow and whatnot. Tophats are always a sexy touch.

Tophats are the smex. And I'm glad you love Isham's hair so much. I love it too. I'm such a sucker for sideburns. And he has uber sideburns.

Mikenestin [2006-04-10 08:50:02 +0000 UTC]

Wonderful - The angular form of each character and the textures link each character to the other to create a whole piece while also showing the individuality of each one. Such balance is excelent! I five the fine tones of the skin in contrast to the loose flat colour of the clothes - fantastic!
