OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
This be the place to show off your latest avatar creations.
And here is a link to the previous thread.
To start things off again, some pictures I've done that I like.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
And to keep them rolling and hopefully regain the momentum that was lost at the last stages of the previous thread.
A tutorial on making Flames as asked for by Killitwithfire.
Making a Flame in any Vector editing program

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Ok yes that looks doable. I also tweeked the hood of my avatar a little bit, the tip didn't align right so I think that's what you ment when you said it looked off. I'll do the fire in the morning as it just passed midnight.
The fire looks more intense pre-transparency so I think I might use less than you did or possibly none at all.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
A Half-fey Drow I did recently, I decided to draw it after making a character for an epic level game on the boards:
The one thing that bugs me about it (no pun intended :smalltongue:) is the ear, and the line coming off the ear to show that it's sort of poking through her hair, not holding all of it back.

Is there a story behind that blindfold?

I like it, I find it rather cool and cute.
Three things:
The hair looks strange because the ear lower lobe turns to violently, try to make it slowly descend and become one with the line, and make the line a little shorter.
Her right Wing is wrong from the perspective point of view,it should be smaller in wide, a little bit.
And the right arm seems a bit choppy, try to make the lower part of the sleeve one smooth curve.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Edit: to Killitwithfire:
Yeah, it's a simple magical item but she has it on for a pretty symbolic reason.
Spoiler
Show
During her adventures she fell prey to depression caused (mostly) by her lack of faith. Most of the other party-members had their own faith, and the only deity she was able to establish a connection to was Lolth - something she didn't ever want to do, because she hates her own kind (for several reasons, really, but it's probably because her adoptive mother tried to off her and, when she failed, exiled her from the Underdark). So, she went on a sort of pilgrimage to find a new deity; most of the non-evil clerics didn't want anything to do with her, and she didn't want to join the cult of another evil deity. Backstabbing was high on her list of "things evil people seem to do a lot of".
After years of rejection from various churches, one deity's followers finally looked past her heritage and invited her to join them, so long as she could bear to look upon a vision of their deity - Pelor. Yeah, god of the Sun.
Crunch-wise, her Knowledge (Religion) was (in my mind at least :smallwink:) low until after this incident.
So she agreed, after learning some things about the deity, and looked on. She couldn't bear the sight of the Sun God (Light blindness and all that); it nearly burned her eyes out. So she fled the scene, and in desperation tried to claw her eyes out (note the scars near the blindfold). She wasn't successful in doing so, and she regained her vision after a while; when she did, though, she wished to wear the blindfold, for a few reasons; the incident had left her eyes a different color, and a bit of defiance - the blindfold is a Blindfold of True Darkness, which blocks all light. She had it crafted by an old adventuring friend.
She decided then that she would stop her hunt for faith and find power within herself (at this time she gained her first level in the Exemplar class - a class that exemplifies skill mastery in hopes of spurring other people to improve themselves). So, the Blindfold has mechanical purposes, yes, but it's mostly there for story reasons - she sometimes takes it off when in complete darkness, but doesn't let other people look directly into her eyes on purpose.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Attempt to fix:
How does it look now? I think I botched the wing again though...

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Yeah, the wings don't look like they come together.
Here's an old image I made that has a better wing view.
If I move the body out of the way, the edges of the wings (identical except for stretching and stuff) that aren't seen are nearly right on top of each other.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV

You are right it won't auto-update.
Now, unto the ear dilema.
You use an interesting design of ear but we can work with it to get the result you probably desire.
Elven Ears under Hair 4 simple steps to making the elves more Elvish and the Drow more... Drowsy?
Spoiler
Show
1. You have the Hair and you have the ear, pretty much the base step.
2. You drag the ear into place, and draw a line where it is going to get buried under hair, make sure that it covers everything that is not bordered by a black line.
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...rsTutorial.png
3. Copy and paste the line, and complete its path around the area of the ear that is supposed to be hidden, eliminate line color and instead color it the same as the hair.
4.Send the line that cuts the ear to the top.
Now lets practice these on the beautiful volunteer Derjuin has just supplied us.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Took your advice on darkening the lines and it does look much better, makes the whole thing more vibrant. I also messed with the gradiant color of the flame. (The yellow is my dad's idea actually)

#snip#
That looks a lot better, you may want to move the flame into the hand thhough, also, I think it's just me, but you may want to try measuring it side by side with an OoTS character (from the comic or Rich's Avatars) since I think it's a little taller than the average character, but that's probably just me.
-
Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
It is a little taller, that's intentional. I felt it made his proportions a little more human. Probably only noticing it now as I changed it between this version and the last.
EDIT: Oh oh lightbulb, what if I jetison the fire out the right hand facing skyward and put a fancy staff in the left where the flame is now. (closes IE opens Inkscape)

Noted. I thought the first blonde girl's hair had too much definition, so I took it out altogether. Didn't realize it would look rather flat. :smalltongue:

Love it. I once used something similar (not double my size though, just a foot taller than me) and that's how we were told to draw it. Very good for uber long shots. Hell to pull though. :smallbiggrin:
A little note on colors: The purple and red tend to stick out uncomfortably. I suggest muting/desaturating out one of them so they won't clash that much. If you notice, you can't stare at the skirt detail and the runes on the bow without hurting your eyes. :smallsmile:

It's gotten a lot better, keep it up, and you may want to go keep playing around with the shape of the fire, try to look at the comic itself for references, I believe in the period between 200 and 300 there were several panels with fire.

Also this, you may want to reduce saturations on one or both of those colors or use the colour slider and pull it towards a darker shade of it. Unless you want the contrast, in which case you may want to make them one bit lighter (lighten in hue/saturation or pull the colour toward a shade of white) and the other one a bit darker, since they are effectively fluorescent.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Here's an update with all the small details people pointed out :
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5636/dugazudesat.png
araveugnitsuga : Thanks to you, I now have the perfect line width, or at least I think so. It was about a sixth too large. Also, it's a man, though I think I'm happy that you thought it was a girl, since he's supposed to be of an ambiguous gender for an outsider anyway.
yldenfrei : I have held a bow only once in my life, and it was way smaller than me, so I didn't know how to draw such a large thing. However, considering all other things, it's the only way to draw it anyway, so I just followed my gut feelings. Seems I wasn't wrong, on the contrary. Thanks for the desaturation idea, looks neater that way.
KillItWithFire : Well, the whole concept is from my latest D&D (3.5) character. Using a Strongarm Bracers, he can wield weapons of the larger category (in his case, Large). He's proficient with the Greatbow, which is six feet tall at Medium size. Combine, and you get a bow 12 feet tall, which is highly ridiculous as memnarch pointed out. But then, you have the even more ridiculous idea of adding a Belt of Growth to all of it. Which gives us a Huge Greatbow, 24 feet tall. You do not want to mess with him when he's mad.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
I imagine there has to be some sort of minimum range on that thing? No way you could shoot a medium creature at point blank.

Game rule wise, there's nothing about a minimum range. I think it could be possible to actually put an angle on your bow and have it low enough to aim a medium creature.
(Then again, said build is not made to go Point Blank, indeed, he's built with the idea that he would (and actually should) stay far away from his foe and shoot him from there. His range is 130ft.)

You could in theory and RAW physics hold it sideways for short to medium range against medium to small enemies.

Oh RAW physics!, where stone balancing is what you do when near a beach.
Where a line of commoners can substitute the LHC for accelarating things.
And where it is possible to make a stairway to heaven
based on two commoners stacking themselves cranked up to eleven
Where falling from a 2000th floor can deal neglible damage
By nothing more simple then a spell casted by a mage
And where it's possible for a literal stick character to exist.
And a Mage to cause Cancer or a Cyst
RAW physics, where a character can wield a weapon twice his size.
And where there can be a Fiendish Lycanthropic Vampiric Celestial mice.
Where a Barbarian is a master of the mind
And an Elvish Fiensdish half Dragon Minotaur is not the only one of its kind.

not sure if you saw the tutorial earlier in this thread about elf ears buried in ear, it's a sugguestion because personally I like the way the tutorial does it better than just no line where it joins the hair. She seems, top-heavey, if you can even her out I think she'd look better. The size for avatars is 120 x 120 so when you export, are you using Inkscape? If you use Inkscape just set the largest size to 120 when you export and it resizes to fit the constraints.

You never have too much extra-dimensional space, as some Rogue said. It's how he transports both his bow and sword. As for using them indoors, I dunno. Ask D&D physics for the answer.
The clothes are not of your standard European medievalo-fantasy, which explains most of it. His name, Dugazu, is a giveaway.

I did not see that tutorial, though I looked at some old comics and found an example of an ear poking out of hair and it look something like that.
I messed with the pony tail a bit and flipped it around. I'm leaning more towards the tail pointed to the left, but I might present him with both options and let him decide.
Thanks for the advice!

What you could do is to give the ponytail a first curve to the left, and finish the effect with a curve to the right.

You may want to end the ponytail behind the body instead of trying to end it, you may also want to look at Haley's ponytail for a reference.
As for the ear, you may want to curve the line splitting it from the hair a bit more.

In Inkscape at least, there is. :)
I created a whole combination of what I did recently, I think it's pretty nice.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Seeing as it has been awhile since I posted any OoTS Characters by myself (instead of tutorials and ... rocks.).
I saw that I was shading the avatars I made for the request thread, but realised that mine was still in it's primitive form (this was my first OoTS Style character), so I decided to upgrade her a bit.

Yes, adding a shadow underneath an avatar makes it 3D. :smallsmile:

Than the Order of the Stick comic is in 3d
And that's no shadow, it's an ellipsis with the ellipsis gradient with 80% TRANSPARENCY.
That is no avatar, that's a collection of pixel arranged in aesthetically not eye destroying manner.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
There are many ways to add volume to an OotS-style avatar. I'll try to make one later.

Drew this for the current IA, but it turns out she's evil, so...

Edit: Changed the legs and added more to the arms, so it's a little less confusing, also fiddled with the weapons to make them more equal, location-wise. :smalltongue:

Good God Derjuin, that's awesome!
But, bellow the torso I stop understanding it, kinda like a Lovecraftian horror, you think it looks awesome, but you don't know if that is an arm, a leg or an internal organ.
What is the sheet that falls from the two rings and goes way bellow the character.

Thanks!
The leg/arm part is kind of confusing :smalltongue: she's sitting (in the air) with her legs crossed and her arms are behind her legs, holding the weapons; the sheet held from the two rings is like a cloak/banner of sorts.
