Description Fel Essence : Tangible Dream
Soul : Baku, a dream eater
Link to my breedables shop on Gaia

THIS IS THE FIRST ARTWORK I DID WITH MY NEW AND SHINY INTUOS 3!!! 8DD Ohkay, so now I'm gonna start rambling, explaining this design's concept, you can skip if you want to!! XP;

First of all, the Baku reference I took this from is not from the tapir-lookalike version, it's the one that looked rather like a chimera, with the head of a lion. So I tried to emulate the lion's features into his design. His fluffy hair that (could sort of) symbolises a lion's mane... although it needs to be fluff up some more..;; His ears which I THOUGHT looked like a lion (altho it's not, I know I fail at animal observation D: ) Baku is a Japanese monster, so his clothes are more Japan-esque.

The 2nd part will be highly related to the fel essence used instead - the tangible dream. I tried to imply the 'dream essence' to the design, trying to not make this picture too static. That's why I made the sleeves so... magical/flowy/however you want to describe it XD;; It sort of fades out in colorful smokes. Also, the fel essence used for this aren't very pure, it was infected by nightmare. So I added the 'demented' parts into his design, such as the melting/drippy gooey black wing where you can see tiny little "The Scream" faces on them, and also his inverted eye which is on the same side as the wing.

That is all~ It didn't went as long winded as I thought it will be... o3o;; Well maybe I'm just too tired now I guess... x__x;; His rune isn't a real rune symbol, it's another one of my self-created ones since I can't find any that's relevant for him X'D;;

Hope you enjoy~ and I'll try to draw more and be more active on DA!! 8D

I thought I already had this fav'd but apparently I was horribly wrong. This has been remedied. My favourite 305 by far. Gorgeous artwork, great concept.

Wow, I love the design! Sorry I'm only officially commenting on this now! XD;

I only just noticed that just one of the eyes is inverted. I didn't even realize those were "scream" faces in the wing, but just seeing what designs you put into Nue really makes him so much more multi-layered!

I really love the sleeves. The color choice is absolutely perfect, and the details and their flowiness is all so beautiful.

i've been waiting for one of things...you nearly killed me sheesh...but i like it and can't wait for me though i think the side with all the screaming wing should be darker to show that all tangibled reams can still turn to nightmares or something...but that's just me discard the comment if you think its stupid

miaow In reply to kheleksul [2007-01-22 04:34:16 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, the rest of the other runes were rune symbols of the fuborc (spelling? characters? @w@;; ) rune. You can search for 'rune' in wiki and find those symbols >w<

* huggles Kyou to death*

I think you really made one owner very happy ^_^
I'm so happy for Gabriel!

I think that design-wise, Nue reminds me a bit of Sisay qua colours (not the same colours, but the same dreamy feel) and he's definitely more manly-looking than the other males... like Zave, Luka and even Lazarus. (not counting Sevilin)

It's really amazing how you incorporated the fel essence and soul element into him... Gawd the fluffness and the sleeves *again*

*loves you forever for starting the Raevan-mania*
You made my week..., no, month. Naw, you make my months, years with your art. It just never ceases to get me into my favorite dreamy moods <3

miaow In reply to Graficcha [2007-01-21 02:20:17 +0000 UTC]

AAaaaw thank you so much for the comments!! x)

But please take note that Lazarus is so old!! (his art I mean) XD My art and style definitely changed over the time... Luka looks really boyish due to his large eyes, as for Zavier, I still like him quite alot though In certain aspects, Nue looks kinda girly too due to his gestures.. I love his hand, it's so elegant

Glad that I'd be able to make someone so happy!! ^^ *hugs graf
