oh the water nymph
This is the Xivilai I’ve been talking about in the last two entries. I’ve never put so much devotion and enthusiasm in an artwork. This is also the longest I’ve ever worked on any artwork, taking about 48 hours of work. I’m so proud of this.
Now to another painting, a gift for an old school friend of mine. I want to leave her speechless.
EDIT - MY PARENTS GAVE ME A CAMERA!
YAY
so I tried it out
and it was good, so I looked for some textures
but who do we have here?
hello Isaac
finally I can take pictures of your awesome self
The Xivilai is still in the works, but it’s looking good so far. In the meanwhile:
melting the lock with his reality alteration skills, he looted everything he could take and headed out of the marauders’ hide
Now that I think about it, I’ve never ever drawn him not smiling in some form.
Tonight I wanted to make fan art for games which don’t receive enough attention. At first I thought about tackling Borderlands or Dead Space, but I ended up with a Xivilai from Oblivion. I have spent about one hour trying to find a dynamic pose for him without messing up the anatomy or going too overboard with perspective, and I got a good starting point for a watercolor painting which I hope to finish later today or maybe tomorrow.
After finishing the sketch, I took a break and wanted to read some books from Oblivion. Some of them are really beautiful. I came across Spirit of the Daedra, which should be a book written by the Daedra themselves. One passage left me amazed:
“We do not die. We do not fear death.
Destroy the Body, and the Animus is cast into The Darkness. But the Animus returns.
But we are not all brave.
We feel pain, and fear it. We feel shame, and fear it. We feel loss, and fear it. We hate the Darkness, and fear it.
The Scamps have small thoughts, and cannot fear greatly.
The Vermai have no thoughts, and cannot fear.
The Dremora have deep thoughts, and must master fear to overcome it.”
I feel better about myself.
Two artworks, I don’t feel like writing today
Gift for Roserade.
This is my Fear, my personal demon. to defeat you someday
I’ve spent these last few days at Jacopo’s for his birthday. We had an awesome time. Originally, this entry was about what kind of awesome time did we have, but then I noticed that I just can’t blog about my life. It makes me feel stupid. Long story short, we had an awesome time. 8)
Hey look I drew a me. It should be my Pokémon Trainer but really, it’s me. I blame Kate for that.
as ridiculous as it may seem, it’s actually a very accurate representation of my person. which also explains why I tend to draw people with weird anatomy when I have no one who can model for me: my whole body is double-jointed. and yes, I can actually do that with my tongue.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO EMBRACE MY FREAKINESS
Last night I had some weird dream. Basically, I was with Jacopo in a medieval city; after visiting a few places, we entered a tree. The inside of the tree was some sort of dark world completely secluded from the outside, which gave us an idea about how to use that to our advantage. You know what happens next. In the middle of it, something happened. When we got out, I realized that from midway to the end I’ve been doing it with Daevion. Then he kidnapped me. Random people tried to rescue me, but Daevion casted all sorts of spells on them and they went away. Jacopo was outside too, and he said that I had to choose between Daevion and him. I answered that he only exists in my imagination, so it was not like I was cheating on him. He said that’s ok, but since we were in my subconscious he was actually real there!
…I’m not sure what does this all mean D: though I was really waiting for Daevion to appear in a dream, I did not want for it to be like this D8 also I’m sort of disappointed that this was such a blurry dream and that I couldn’t get a good look at his face. I wish I could get lucid dreams at will.
This one is for Amy. Featuring Silver the Hedgehog with her.
…too bad she wanted her Sonic character and not her actual human character. *facepalm*
Though, I am still rather proud of this one. I had so much fun drawing the destroyed cityscape.
Two more to go!
