  • I'm the speech bubble.
  • Mathonwy kinda looks like the LulzSec logo.
  • Your arm/hand is in your loincloth.
  • I should preface this by saying I am horribly bad at drawing and usually stick to abstract artsy things...

    This is Reihaneh wearing her staff, ring, armbands, turquoise anklet, ivy spiral anklet, silver charm bracelets, Aalen toe ring, silver belt, and her usual uniform: sleeveless dresses and leggings (these are the lovely golden brown leggings with ivy embroidery made by Kaiya). I left off all the other jewelry and piercings and stuff because I'm not that talented. And it took me like two hours to manage this. *headdesk*

    She's supposed to vaguely resemble Fire from the Graceling series (which I have not read) a la this picture:
    or this one:

  • @Siena I think it's absolutely gorgeous and I'm really wishing that I still had my old drawing supplies now.

  • @nellaundra Glad you like it. I know I suck at proportion. It is not an easy skill to obtain. I am usually very good at shading/eyes.

  • Make good use of the lower end of your quarterstaff  /:)

  • I'm going to link to the picture because it's too big and I don't want to clog up this page. I posted it on the old forums before, but then I got angsty because I thought it was crap and had to rework it, so I deleto'ed. I'm still not really happy with it, I suck so bad @ drawing hands, and it's not really my best work. But anyway, here's Hyraeth as she was when she was still trying to be both Druid and Bard. If she thought THAT multitasking was bad, I dunno what she would have made of /my/ life :p

    Oh ps: plz to be ignoring all of the waffle on the devart page written 3 years ago. Have since come to the sad but rather satisfying conclusion that I'm rather (bad/lacking) as a roleplayer :p

    *edited because I remembered this is a family board!
  • @Hyraeth: I love your picture! It is a funny idea and very pretty.

    Also, I too am of leafy inclinations.


    e'ryday
  • @Yue Aww shucks, thanks! *blush*

    And here's to people of leafy inclinations.

    @Eld, clever.

    I was starting to get sad that no one appreciated it.

    I noticed right away! :D

  • What precisely are leafy inclinations, and do I need them?

    Im not very good at drawing, but this is how I imagine my Rajamala Blademaster

    But considering my Achaea experience he is more like:

  • @Trevize Thank you! That is a lot more like what I drew. I don't know why my scanner does that. 
    Commission List: Aesi, Kenway, Shimi, Kythra, Trey, Sholen .... 5/5 CLOSED
    I will not draw them in the order that they are requested... rather in the order that I get inspiration/artist block.

    No problem!

    Consider getting Gimp. http://www.gimp.org/

    Easiest way to fix things like that (with Gimp) is to open the file, go to colors->color balance, and play with the shadows/midtones/highlights. To give it more/less color, up/drop cyan/magenta/yellow at the same rate. In this case, I dropped the shadows by 100 on all three colors, and the midtones by 50. Check or uncheck 'preserve luminosity' depending. Sometimes it's better with, sometimes without.
