Vicky's Artsy Krafty Korner

[Ves]

Hmm....

Working from the top left corner....

Akkarin > Cloe > Helena > Ves (who looks ace XD) > Red
An / Lynix in dragon form (couldn't decide, text didn't help)
Iris / Jane in squid form (again, couldn't decide, only way to tell would be adding colour) and finally Vicky

[Shadowe]

It's Anwyeth, not Lynix, unless Lynix has suddenly grown breasts. Other than that, I'm going to assume the kheldian is Iris, and the rest are as Ves says

[Victoria]

Actually Shad got it right, as is:

Top (from left to right): Akkarin (those should be bats but drawing it on a HB pencil steals a lot of the moodiness), Cloe, Helena, Ves, Red Commisar
Center: Anwyeth (showing how a sleeping dragon lies)
Bottom: Iris (proving a Kheldy in squid form CAN be cute, damnit) and Vicky

Still, since Shad admitted that a few of them were unrecognizable, and he used the help of eveyone else who answered before he did, it wouldn't be fair for him alone to get the prize, so I'm morally lead to doodle for everyone who was a good sport and participated.

Send me a PM please with your requests (and if I don't know the character that well, with a description\special requests to be included)

[Ves]

I'd love to see that sketch of Ves finished off, perhaps extended even.

Okies, my request officially made

[Victoria]

Okay, I started receiving the requests and to help me (and avoid me having to repeat the same questions again and again), this is the information I'd like to see included in the requests:

a) Body type (thin, athletic, average, muscular, height, long\short limbs, thin hands\ strong hands etc.)
b) Features (youthful, chiseled, noble, chubby, etc)
c) Details (eye (colour, size, form), mouth (form and size), nose (ditto) -- any other details, like tail, cat ears, etc etc)
d) Clothes - which clothes should s/he be wearing - uniform (if so, description please, or a screenie) or casual\formal wear (if so, which kind of clothes or should I invent something cool?)
e) Other details (accessories, friends, pose, special requests)

The more details you give me, the better the feel I can get from the character and the easier it is to draw him\her and make him\her unique.

[Victoria]

I blame my best friend.

I should have been home studying german linguistics and he should be studying web designing. We should have traded a few jokes, complain about our respective subjects and stay at that.

But no. He had to hit me with Alice Cooper.

First sentence I hear of the song "Feed my frankenstein": I ain't evil, I'm just good-looking.

For some reason, that stuck to my head the whole afternoon. It plagued me so much I could focus on my study, because I could only think how well did that suit Veskit... and I had just read his request for his drawing. And I could only think of drawing. The whole FREAKING afternoon.

Until I gave in and started sketching, that sentence as the center of all. Ves asked me for him wearing his gothwear.... but I decided to indeed give him only part of it, and go for a half naked\dogtagged look that makes us girl squeal. Yes, Squealfactor in this picture is 10.

I wanted to gave him a sort of superior look which demanded a face angling that's a bitch to do, but when I was done, I realized I had a problem. I didn't have references for male anatomy, and I can't draw them to save my live. So I enroled my brother to pose ... and earned for free a psychological consultation, as my brother was rather eager to point out my many psychosis, since I was drawing muscled men in reduced clothing, and with their hands on the waistband of their trousers. I endured in silence, since I heard so much about suffering for art.

I did this in about two hours, although I might clean it up further later, I'm rather stunned with the look I managed to pull, although Ves' duster isn't that good. I should clean it up, but I won't now, because I do have an exam in three days and if I start drawing, I won't be able of stopping...

Oh, and I'm rather concerned... when I meet Ves IRL at the Meet, he's probably going to mangle me for turning his tough-as-nails anti-hero depicted as something straight out of Playgirl.

Sorry, my subconscious must be really interesting. Could be worse, though. Ves could be in a thong.



Of course, now I'll have to explain to the teacher why there is an underdressed gothboy on the back of my notes, because yes, I drew this AGAIN on my German Linguistics text.

[Akkarin]

*Squeal*

.... I mean, yeah, that's cool. I appreciate it in a manly way >_>.

Seriously though, your drawings amaze me, truly fantastic stuff. Now I just wish I posted in my lunch break

[Sparky]

That is some of the greatest talent I've seen in... forever.

Well done. =D

[Ves]

Oh, my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's FECKING ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. Love the Sin City feel of the picture, the whole black and white with just the hint of colour with his red eyes

Also, those pants look like leather, and now I want to see how the actual cossie to match would look. Icon here I come!!

[Victoria]

Well, I'm glad you like it... but if I was to REALLY go for the Sin City approach I'd have to fiddle with the contrast a little more and---- ARRRGH, just look at what you made me do!!!

[Victoria]

This was supposed to illustrate the magical usage of Focused Accuracy, as a sort of magical runes that give a "sight beyond sight" ability.

Or as my brother pointed out, Vicky seems to be saying "Doh, I forgot my shirt!"

[Victoria]

And here it is, a quick sneak peak at the Wallpaper I'm fixing to celebrate the FA meet. Since it contains multiple elements, I drew them separated.

I would be grateful to receive suggestions for the background -- although I was thinking of including the words "The Fletched Alliance Meet '07: Drama, Explosions and Garden Jenga"

[stonegiant]

Where's Vicky on that FA meet poster???

[Ves]

Okies, this is going to sound really fussy and picky now, but there's just 2 minor details (that I've noticed at least) That I have to draw to your attention.....

First : While Chibi-Ves is highly cute (Hell I want one if they're going to look like that in RL) he does seem to have green eyes for some odd reason (as opposed to red like usual)

Second : This point is dependant entirely on the top right chibi being Lu (can't think who else it would be) I should point out that she's not blonde (though that would explain why she keeps Alita round) she's highly red-headed

Sorry to point them out, and please don't yell, but I just had to

[Kat]

I love it! Though uh... while Ves has red eyes, giving that one red eyes might be too cute and cause a dimensional rift.

As for background, um... falling jenga pieces?
