And as you know I am more favourite of a-trois-quart drawings, but I surely like it!

Just out o' curiosity, what is a-trois-quart drawing?

And a question more relevant to one of my next drawings: a gnome sniper scope? I could use some elaboration on this or, perhaps, any available reference pics of some sort if it greatly differs from normal sniper scopes.

A trois-quart is what you almost did now (So don't change!). It is a drawing that is in between a front-drawing and a side-drawing.

Edit: Just realised this might be nice to know: Your Guardian beast is a-trois-quart, as the Daeceo of KedorLao

Gnome sniperscope is named so for it is invented by the Gnomes. It comes from 'Song and Silence books', it looks a bit more like far-looking glass than the nowadays sniperscope, but no big differenc. So, do not worry about it too much.

I still wanna do more with her yet, but I felt like showing you what I have for the human warrior thus far:

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy watching the progress
the look in her face and the general feel of the picture.

I would ask for a slightly longer barrel. With which I mean to extend the small part at the end a bit. (250% of what the small outcropping is now so to say)
I reckon the bajonet is somewhat large in comparison. Now it looks like a short sword, instead of a dagger. That will unbalance the gun a bit. So a bit smaller if I may ask

Aww, party pooper (don't mind me, I have a thing for ridiculously large weapons ).

Anyhoo, I made the requested changes as well as a few others (I thought a clip would be nice) and I even drew up a second image! I have every intention of using both drawings in some sort of a composition, but if that idea doesn't appeal to you, then at the very least, I'm pretty much done with the first drawing (might work a little more on the second). Unless you want anything else done with her, I'd say she's ready to color ! Let me know what ya think.



And I will finish that Goomaker...eventually . I'm just having more fun with the warrior lady here and other projects right now .

[Deathsangel]

I will wait patiently, for you and any other artist (though I indeed love to see progress)

I think the first one is ready for drawing as well You even outdid yourself, for I would have been happy with one picture as said in the first post... But I don't mind two!
I would rather have them split though. So, I can fill up some spaces at other areas

[Galsic]

Aww shucks, y'know, I actually didn't plan on coloring the second drawing, but if you want it as a separate image, why, I guess I shall make the effort .

I coulda sworn you mentioned something about a book for all these drawings. Since I can't seem to find that post, I's be curious, what exactly are you doing?

And I must say, against the slayer 2.2 forum skin (which I use), the colored text in your monster list post kind of assault my eyes .

Hm... that didn't post entirely well, but I hope you get what I mean. It is really like you have the campaign setting books of Fearun and Eberron. And I reckon I will get it printed. I dare not dream that WoTC would see it and like it enough to like... contact me, or so, but that would be the icing of the cake. Ah, dreams...
If I happn to have a less fortunate future I reckon I'll .pdf it and put it on internet for all to enjoy and offer to sen printed versions... or something as such. Haven't figured that part out completely yet...
Hope you don't think bad of me, for not having done that... and that neither you now wish me to withdraw all your drawings...

And I don't use the Slayer one, I reckon. I have a nice white/red/gray tone... which color is offending? Than I can change it.

[Menelanna]

well here I am finally showing some of my progress. He is not totally done yet, but here is the drow warrior.

very impressive

I am curious how you will handle the circle.

[KedorLao]

Sorry for the absence, here is what I have so far.

The eyes looked screwed up because I tried to add "tattooing" to them. Didn't work so well with pencil but I may play with that when colouring. Or I might get rid of the tattoo all-together.

[Deathsangel]

I am glad your back and it is coming along nicely.

As said I love the arcane stuff around his right hand (for us left). His grim look is nice and some of the decoration are very nice, I actually like the eyes, for I can see the tatoo.

I would like to ask to, if you buckle up his pants, just with a belt, with that snake than as the buckle for instance. and if possible redraw his left hand, for us right, so all fingers form more of curve. The finger seem... odd now.

Do you need any more colouring detail, or was the description on the first page enough for you? So light blueish hair, very white skin, eyes that change between black and fiendish red. Clothes can be somewhat darker, but still may have some flashy dark colour (with which I mean red, or shiny purple or something alike).

[KedorLao]

Well, I've redrawn the entire left arm, as the angle is terribly unnatural (unless his shoulder were dislocated). I'm still poking at that left hand as it's still giving me some grief. I've also shortened the fingers as they started to bother me as well.



I've played around a bit with a belt. I'm trying to make a belt, that doesn't look like a belt. Don't know if that makes sense. I've removed some "unnecessary accessories" (I really have no idea what they were suppose to be) and generally re-angled limbs and appendages. Anything else?

Edited by KedorLao, 19 October 2007 - 11:27 AM.

[Deathsangel]

I vastly enjoy the new belt.
I actually liked the badge on the cloak, as if it was clipping them together.
I am more puzzled about the long necklace, but it has a pull on me and would love it to stay.
I tried to position my arm, or better the fingers, as on the drawing, but unfortunately can't represent it. I think I know however what the problem is. You arched the upper finger (point finger), which is good. The other don't. Change that and I think it is fine.
Yeah, the shoulder is now better.

Great job!

[KedorLao]

Well, I've gone and done it. I've started another one on your list. I've come to the realization that there just isn't enough female wererats out there.

Aside from me having difficulty deciding on a pose (this is the third one I've done and probably won't be the last), I'm a little concerned about the 'barbs' aspect. Mostly, I'm not sure what you want (so I just didn't draw any). Are you looking for something like thorns protruding randomly from the skin? Or are there certain places on the body where these protrusions emerge from?

Edited by KedorLao, 20 October 2007 - 11:42 AM.

[Deathsangel]

Oh nice! It is a lovely cruel pose! I really like the ripped cloth, that makes it so more real and action like, really nice touch
I think she needs a bit more hair (like on the face, legs, and lower part of tail, which is segmented with rats now that I think of it) hough, now it a bit too draconic.
And yes I am looking for thorns with protrusions mainly along the spine. Perhaps it would be nice to have barbs at other locations, but I am unsure of the look of this. So perhaps it would be better to add those of the spines, and than I can imagine better what it looks like if barbs would come, for example from the elbows. The other odd thing in comparison to 'normal' wererats, ought to be their skin color, but that is all!
I am thrilled you are willing to do another one! Man this is just great!

Edited by Deathsangel, 21 October 2007 - 02:23 AM.

[KedorLao]

Ah, of course, segmented tails. After handling the suckers, you'd think I would remember that. I tried some 'thorn' like protrusions. Don't know if you want thorn or spines (spines would be longer and more sparse).

So, here's the furry, spiny version.

[Deathsangel]

Man that is already really, really good!
I love the long fingernails, the look on the face (the eyes and the grin are just so... cool)
It really looks like she got the jump on him. Very accurate way for these half-fiends. I love it!
I was thinking indeed more along spines, for they are too small now, but I do like this general shape. I reckon twice the size of the current ones is just about right, and just keep them a bit like one per vertebra (as for a number, don't hurt yourself trying to figure out their exact size so they all are completely anatomically correct, it is part demon after all). They may extend up untill the neck onw that I see it, but I reckon that anywhere else along the body is too... unpractical.

[Galsic]

See? I told ya I'd get back to the Goo-Maker .

It's the best I can do, anyway. As always, you can make suggestions of what more you might want done and I'll see if it can be done, k?
