Title: Ethereal-Star's Art Thread
Post by: Ethereal-Star on December 01, 2014, 09:02:13 PM
Pictures of some of my characters that I have drawn. I am far from being a fine artist so don't expect wonderful masterpieces.

Dilwen

Picture of Blodwen, my flower nymph. Really, it's just a basic sketch of her camouflaging ability to blend in with her environment, in this case a pink rose which the background is of. The rose pic is NOT mine, I don't know who the artist is for that, but just saying. The sketch over top however is what I did to depict my character. I went over the pencil sketch with a black sharpie.

Drawing of Sah-lora, visualspice's character that I drew for her art exchange last December.
So, @visualspice in case you wanted to see the picture again, here she is! Again, it's not spectacular, but it works so I am okay with how it turned out.

A drawing of Layana is also coming for you spicy as soon as I post that one on Photobucket. Plus the Gambler in the famous haystack scene, but I haven't drawn that one yet. But I'll get to it!

A couple black and white sketches of some characters from an art book I have titled "Creating Fantasy Art" by Steve Sims. These are done with the character template instructions in that book. I think they turned out pretty great, although the mouth on the Ice Queen looks a bit weird though.

Female Warrior (black and white)

A much better picture of Dilwen, my storm mage healer half-breed, if I do say so myself.

She's depicted wearing her guild attire here.

(http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag332/SpiritoftheStars/My%20RPG%20Character%20Pictures/Dilwen%20portrait_zpss3xeefsg.jpg)

Sketched this the other night. Hair is done with both colored pencils and gel pen.

Nice job on all the details with your recent drawings! Keep at it! I can't wait to see what more you'll be posting!

And thanks for the drawing of Layana :D
SHE LOOKS SO SUPER CUTE *_*
Lovin' that hair and the flowers in it X3

Post by: Ethereal-Star on February 18, 2015, 01:36:13 PM
Thanks spice! I'm so glad you like her. And thank you also for the compliments on the other drawings. The female warrior and ice queen were definitely not quick sketches as they took a LONG time to do. But worth it in the end. I still need to color some copies of them, since I wanted more than one copy to both color and leave as is but didn't want to have to keep redrawing it so I photocopied the drawings when I finished them.

Oh and the accessories in Layana's hair are actually what you mentioned in her profile, that is sun trinkets and feathers. But they can be flowers too, if you like.  :D

Thanks again for the compliment.

Now here's an interesting picture of Violet, my rainbow spirit. It is made from pieces of colored paper cut to form a portrait. The background is scrapbook paper and the lettering is scrapbook letter stickers. Everything else was painstakingly cut, arranged and glued on.

oh man, I understand the pain of cutting out details to fix into an image. I did a lot of holiday crafts that way that I sold this past christmas, and man- was the devil in the detail, but the crafts were fu to wokr on so it was definitely a labor of love.

And here's a drawing of the same character, done with sharpies and a few other markers.

Doesn't she look spunky?  :D

Thanks so much Spice! And yes, it was kind of a pain in the butt, especially the friggin eyes and pupils. And the eyebrows. Uck. But I think it turned out nice.  :)

Picture of Brooke, my runaway character from another continent.

(http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag332/SpiritoftheStars/My%20RPG%20Character%20Pictures/Brooke%20Milton_zps6rgu2qzg.jpg)

She's shown wearing a beige dress (the very top part that is) with a white shawl draped around her shoulders.

I used colored pencils and sharpies. Gotta love those sharpies!

Ain't she purty?

And then there's Pepper, the vengeful ghost. Granted it's just an outline but all things considered she 'is' a ghost. I plan on doing another picture of her, but the last one I tried I goofed on and in the trash it went. Oh well.

I drew a pic of Elowen, my sun elf warrior and demon hunter. I hope I made her look fierce enough.

Here she is.

I'd say she looks fierce! =D

Good job on the hair! I've always found hair difficult to tame when it comes to drawing it.
Title: Re: Ethereal-Star's Art Thread
Post by: Ethereal-Star on May 01, 2015, 12:01:49 AM
Thanks Draco! I'm glad you like the hair and her expression. She has lots of scars on her face so that's what all the black marks are.
Title: Re: Ethereal-Star's Art Thread
Post by: Ethereal-Star on May 01, 2015, 12:03:07 AM
I tried to draw the hair up in a ponytail which was kinda difficult to show that from the front. I hope it suffices.

Nice art! But I just realized this is in the general discussion so I'm going to move it to the Studio!

Post by: Ethereal-Star on May 07, 2015, 10:41:22 PM
Thanks Looshi! And yeah, I realized sometime afterwards I posted in the wrong section so thanks also for moving the thread to the proper place!

I have a few more art pieces to post and will do so after they've been scanned and posted to Photobucket first.
Title: Re: Ethereal-Star's Art Thread
Post by: Looshi on May 08, 2015, 08:03:55 AM
No problem. x3

And oooo, more arts! Looking forward to it!

Been a while since I posted some art so here's a few more thingiemabobs.

My noble, yet prankster unicorn Chestnut.

And then here's Dilwen, practicing her storm magic with her orb implement.
(http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag332/SpiritoftheStars/My%20RPG%20Character%20Pictures/Dilwen_zpsutg40jgp.jpg)

She looks a tad busty and I'm not sure that's entirely accurate, but ho hum, I'm posting it. Big boobs or not.

Some arties I did not too terribly long ago and am just now posting them. If you wanna use any of these 3 as character portraits, feel free just make sure to credit me. And post here if you are going to use it for that purpose! Just so I know! These are actually going to *eventually* be part of a series of 5 but anyhoo this is what I have so far.

First up:

Forest Queen

I will post a picture of Drake (headshot pic) once my scanner starts cooperating again. The other pictures had already been scanned in some time ago. Plus I need to draw his staff. That'll be next.
