Achaea Artdump

Avalin

So, I got a new tablet, and wasted six or so hours drawing this thing. I'm planning on walkin' around various cities and drawing whatever is in the room, people included, as a sort of exercise to help me with art blocks. I guess I'll post some more up here eventually?? Until then here's some novice Tsol'aa kid with a falcon, who's just finished dueling someone or something like that.

(if this image doesn't post i'm going to be mildly sad)

Kresslack

The image posted fine. I think that's pretty awesome. Is that outside of Hashan, in the Ithmia? (Not IG right now so haven't had a chance to Honours you). Look forward to seeing what else you come up with!

Avalin

I was attempting North of New Thera, but the only thing I remembered about it was the Ashtan was to the northish, so it could be outside Hashan, too. And thank you! Realized I forgot to shade/texture the shield though, woops.

Avalin

If you went back in time to 2010 and told me that earth got flooded due to melting icecaps in the future and that shallam is no longer a city, i would have been more concerned about Shallam to be honest. 

This took like 5 hours? I don't even know oops 

Avalin

I think this might be too huge to fit the page oops. It's apostates who have Baalzadeens, right?? Someone was selling these nifty baalzadeen masks and I wan't to draw a person wearing them. Ended up drawing the actual Baalzadeen too.

Avalin

This color scheme is pretty close to my last one, oops. For some reason I've never spent longer than 20 minutes in Eleusis so I don't remember what it looks like. But fire is really fun to draw! 

Yae

Your painting style and colours are gorgeous!

Wysteria

@Avalin have you considered studying landscapes and being a layout artist/pre-production artist for animation? (joiiiin usssss)

Avalin

@Yae Thank you! 

@Wysteria I've thought about it! Art school of any sort is kinda out of the question for me, sadly, so I've had to teach myself and wouldn't be able to get any job that wanted a degree. That sounds really interesting, though!

You need a degree for animation? Really while formal study may help, it's about your folio and ability to learn, FAST, to get into the industry. To be fair, where I live there's no animation work, but a lot of illustration work freelance if you're clever. Keep it up!

Also. Screw you quotes.

Amanu

Should find enough people and do an Achaea anime.

Avalin

Oof, that sounds really fun. I'll have a couple backup plans in case that doesn't work out, but that'd be a dream job for me.

Also more art. I'm sorry I'm spamming the board, but I've been drawing a lot, and Achaea beaks artblocks like you wouldn't believe.

(neither of these are real adventurers, by the way. Nor do I have any idea what that armour should look like, since Mhaldor takes forever to walk to.) 

bonus

 

edit: @amanu Nope. Nooopee. Unless someone flings vast amounts of money at me. 

Avalin

I saw Goddess once, it was pretty awesome. ((this was mostly city-drawing practice oops)) 

Melodie

Is that Cyrene? (Just by the look of the glass roof, I wanna say that's the Lyceum)

Your work is pretty cool, though!

Avalin

@Melodie‌

Hashan! tbh though i kinda started doodling houses and decided to make it more Achaea-ish. The glass building is the zoo in Hashan which has a glass roof (I think??) I'm drawing Cyrene next, and then Mhaldor. And Targossas, as some point. 

Khaibit

Loving these, love the Shallam one

Ada

Oo these are lovely, thanks for sharing!

Teghaine

Avalin... do some rooms inside the CIJ estate!!! I bet those would be crazy fun

Aepas

the girl cowering in eleusis from the dragon made that picture in my opinion. Amazing attention to detail in evreything!

Avalin

I had to go to Mhaldor the other day and learned two things

1. the library is great and ridiculously cheap. thank you, whoever did that.

2. it is impossible to blend in. I thought I was creeping around just fine, stealthily checking out books, until this novice approached me with a pun. it was a really good pun, but the fact that he told me in the first place really doesn't suggest I was hiding well. 

@khaibit and @ada thanks! 

@teghaine That'd be fun. Maybe the swingset?

@aepas thanks! I added her pretty early on.

((i'll draw Cyrene eventually oops)) 

Avalin

I'll draw something more cheery tomorrow!  And more "distinctly Achaean" Probably a shot of Cyrene from super far away or smth. This is probably not accurate to any area of shallam but I really wanted to draw an explosion. 

Caoimhaen

I love your art dude. There is so much to see. Keep it up. You kinda remind me of @Wysteria‌

Avalin

thanks! 

Wysteria

Don't go setting me as a benchmark. I still look up at @Xae and @Yae for that.

…ok we need to start an artists guild and have agreements writtten up.

Xae

@Avalin @Yae @Wysteria @anyoneelsewhodraws

I have an empty clan? :P

Averi

@‌Avalin

That holocaust bomb one is my fav so far. It's so awesome.

Avalin

so this is also not very distinctly Achaean woops! On a semi-related note I died a bunch of times and drew the cave. I'm not entirely sure what to draw next? (i have sketches for Cyrene but nothing solid yet)

Avalin

wow so it's easier to draw explosions than what happens after them 

Xae

@Avalin needs more snow if it's Cyrene.

Avalin

aw shoot, I'll fix that in a sec

Gawi

Love your work! Keep it up!
