Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
I can't argue against knee-jerk preconceptions, I'm sorry D: I'll just give you some factoids:
- Mage is a game about having Ultimate Cosmic Power(tm)
- Mages are very clearly on the top of the supernatural food chain, and are meant to be. One Mage splatbook outright states that the Seers of the Throne, a group comprising about 20% of all Mages, could end the world if they put their minds to it.
- Wisdom is the huge limiter on Mages and the challenge isn't solving problems, it's solving problem in a way that isn't stupid. The game's theme is Hubris - you know, applying your Ultimate Cosmic Power to something you're not supposed to apply it towards.
- My Mage house rules could fit on a palm card and don't significantly change the nature of the game.

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
I think the distinction needs to be made, here.
Potentially, it's fine that Ultimate Cosmic Power doesn't interest you. Because that's not what the game is about.
The game is about having Ultimate Cosmic Power. It's about the consequences, about those lines you will and won't cross. It's about the disfunctional politics of the guys who supposedly aren't opposed to you and those who very much are. It's about the sorry state of the world and knowing why it's really like that and having the potential to legitimately and significantly change that. If the people who like it this way don't, you know, get you first.
Also about the pseudo-sentient tear in reality getting all up in your world with it's horrible, crazy manifestations and then fixing them in equally weird ways. (We recently closed an Abyssal manifestation by staging a heartwarming Thanksgiving Special in a rundown crack-house and it made perfect sense).

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
Some-where...
...some-where I found a dragon, sleeping 'neath a tree. The ground was dappled with leafy shade, and pears hung from its canopy.
And I said to myself...
"If I found a slender dragon, on the roots a'napping, I'd give him a basket of lolly pops, each one still in its wrapping."

Day 526: Drinking Debauchery
Jayden is very close to manoeuvring every single NPC in her game into a giant bloodbath, where all her problems solve each other. She's still working on the part where she's alive at the end of it.
Have a thing. Sorry for the blur, only did it in H.

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
...pretty. The canopy of the archon really draws at the attention. Also, Thanqol appears to be improving with glyphs. My immediate wish for improvement would be a few more splashes of white in the middle...for uniformity.
I've wanted to play an archon, including lantern types, but haven't been able to yet.

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
Good point, thanks. I won't mention how after-thought-y the glyphs were.
Thank you. I dedicate today's picture to you!

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
Kyeudo, I've tried a few times and I can't figure out how to do the pose you want for the Faceless Prince in any way which doesn't look stupid. You're going to have to provide me with a reference photograph.

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
...Victorian high collar...fan frame cotton tie...and a matching tweed vest-coat...with bell-bottoms...?????????
Good face. Almost perfect glasses. The shirt...looks like a stiff suit. I'm not sure how to draw, "puffy fabric," but I recommend that. Also some ruffles down near the wrists would be appropriate. The wrist of the fabric tends to be more narrow than the shoulder while the elbow is the widest.
The hands... Well, we all could use more practice with hands. Including me.It's a relatively nice sketch. I'm sure I don't have to point out all of the proportion inconsistencies.
...sorry to be so picky this time...

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
The top half of her outfit is good; looks like it's tailored, which tells me she's either got money or did at one time. She's not a 'perfect hourglass', which is good because most women aren't (despite many artists wanting them to be either hourglass or incredibly top-heavy).
Something about the pose looks wrong to me. I could see it as a transitional pose (one between standing and sitting), but she looks like she's staying in that pose at least long enough to manipulate whatever symbol it is she's manipulating, and it looks uncomfortable.
I have to agree about the bellbottoms, though. Victorians did not wear bellbottoms, friend.

Heya, Thanqol, long time no see. Looks like your art quality has increased since I've been gone.

Re: Thanqol Learns 2 Draw: Every Step Is The First
"You expect me to waste precious man-power...because you smelled some-thing weird coming from a gutter vane?"
That's an hilarious expression! The facial hair could be more...prolific...
And I wonder if the bumps/points of hair could be less sharp / pronounced. Of course, I've never seen Phoenix Wright. The, um...epaulettes should be balanced. The one on the left is a bit...squeenched.
At any rate, this one's not too bad.Last edited by Story Time; 2012-11-02 at 07:23 AM. Reason: Added One Sentence; Changed One Word
