Thread: Oneironaut's Artwork

Thats cool. She reminds me of a Buddhist guardian in the Chinese or Japanese tradition. Maybe Fudo Myoo, or better yet Indara Taisho, with that bill/halberd.

Those guardian statues have always freaked me out. Something about their blank eyes.

Thanks, man. Yeah, I definitely do like those oriental warrior statues. I can see the comparison, now that you mention it. Heh.

Update:


Character's finished, but I will end up making her climbing out of a demolished wall or something. Not quite sure yet.


And here is one I started today. It's a sketch of my werewolf lucid dream where I was fighting a room full of them - also in pen.

Here's an old one I did of the ex's cat, while he was sleeping one day.

Update:


The arm is too long, and I didn't think about how hard it would be to differentiate between the shade I used for my skin tone and the shade of the werewolves' fur. I hope I can make it to where it all doesn't look like a jumbled mess. I've still got a couple of layers of shade to put on it, though.

I don't really like the werewolf in the middle, though. Ended up looking like (s)he's just kind of "standing there," instead of doing something or in some more dynamic position. Too late to fix it now, though.

Sweet! I'm likin' it!

Thanks!

Yes! Werewolves. I've been meaning to draw some badass werewolf dreams I had last month. It's on the top of my mile long list of things to do.

The wolf on the left is by far my favorite. He has the most tension in his pose. It looks like he's digging in to try and back out of your headlock.

Thanks, Butler! I'd really like to see some of those pictures of your own, whenever you get around to it!

The wolf on the left is my favorite, too. Ironically, it was the one I was most doubtful about getting right. I have absolutely no experience in drawing werewolves, and these three are my first (if I remember correctly), so I was wondering just how I would pull off the perspective of one of them bending over like that. I think I pulled it off, though.

Update:


I'm more or less finished. I may add just a hint of the background that was in the dream (just a counter-top and a fridge, beyond), but I dunno.

Also, the werewolf on the left technically only has one arm and leg. I'm wondering about leaving it as is, and trying to pull off the illusion that the missing limbs are behind me, or if I should draw them in there somewhere, and risk making the scene more cluttered than it already is. Hmmm...

That's really neat. The lines you added for the 'corners' of the scene - while subtle and minimalistic - helped to solidify the scene and ground the characters. It's cool how something so minor as a few lines can make such a profound difference in scene composition.

I'd leave it. On a side note, if shading ever becomes a problem, you might try changing the stroke direction on the additional darkening. That can allow you do differentiate shading and shadows without as much fear or concern of everything accidentally blending into one another. But I think you did a good job, myself.

Thanks, GH. That's some good advice about the shading, too. I'll definitely take that into account, in the future.

I didn't really like how the photoshopped coloring was going on the first pic of the chick I drew, but here is some coloring done with PrismaColor pencils (looks better on paper, though - more tanned than pinkish):


The early stages of her transformed pic:

Update:


Pretty much done with the chick. Might work on the background a bit more, though.

LOL. Those bastards! They obviously copied my design!


Here's a graffiti/tattoo design I did for a friend at work:

My own complaint about that picture with the girl holding the sytche thing is that her hair and face look weird...

Yeah. That's one of the consequences of drawing in pen. I don't really like the face all too much either (you're talking about the "transformed" picture, right?), but once I got too far into it, I couldn't edit it.



Here are a few more word/name graphics I did for some people at the job.


Just started on this one:

Finished up the previous pic:

That looks really awesome!

And yeah, I was talking about the transformed one.

Latest. Don't really have a name for her yet. She'd have a lot more shading on her, but my red pen ran out of ink.

I'm a sucker for red pen!

I like the depth in her hair. Especially right below her left ear.

Dude, the graffiti nametag designs are so fucking cool. I love the subtle realism imposed on its cartoonish effect.

Thanks to both of you!

And I'm with you, Butler. Something about red pen which is just badass. Out of boredom, I've begun going through and adding some shading with pencil. It's a pretty cool contrast (the red ink and gray pencil). I like it. I'll upload the update soon.

Here's that update:


..and yeah...I know her legs are too long.
