More Squirrel Arts

[mistformsquirrl]

Previous thread fell off the face of the forums while I was in depressed mode >.< and sadly it's now too old to resurrect since it'd count as a necropost. So; now that I'm hitting the art again, I decided to make another thread to show off a couple recent pieces I'm relatively happy with, and hopefully add more to that count.

Also you can find my art at my DA page if you're curious about previous pieces - the DA page is in my sig. < . .>m

Without further ado -

Yumi as drawn for an Exalted campaign:

Not my best work ever or anything, but there are some features of this piece that I really liked. I may do a third revision as Domochevsky has suggested, but we'll see as I'm (for once) backlogged on arts to do <@.@> (Comes with having a campaign of my own to worry about I guess!)

Joy Buzzer as drawn for a Mutants and Masterminds campaign I hope to join:

Spoiler

Show

These are just the flats, but I really like how it's come out in terms of line art; and the simple colors don't hurt anything so I really wanted to show it off as it's closer to what I should be putting out on a regular basis. It's nothing eye-popping, but it's "OK"; which is pretty good for me! Hopefully will do the shading for this one tomorrow.

[mistformsquirrl]

So, a few days ago I discovered the song "This is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas <@_@> Today I decided to draw a monster based on the description in part of the song; I may do that for each critter as I'm sort of planning a Summoner based around them for Pathfinder.

Here's the flat colors for the first -

I am the creature under your bed,
teeth grown sharp and eyes glowing red

Spoiler

Show

Hoping to do the shades for this and Joy Buzzer later today/early tomorrow.

I'm surprisingly happy with this. I've never drawn a monster before, so having it turn out pretty decent has made me ecstatic <^_^> just have to hope I can pull off the shades to really make it pop.

[Domochevsky]

Don't forget to make the eyes glowing, though.
(Bright red should do it, possibly also with a glow layer on top if you wanna get fancy.)

Thus spoke The Lord of Glow

[mistformsquirrl]

Yeah <^o^> when I do shades the eyes are going to be quite bright. Right now it was just a matter of getting the flats banged out while I had the energy. (Rare for me to take something from nonexistent all the way to flat colors in one sitting!)

[Domochevsky]

Thus spoke The Lord of Glow

Moar glow! o/


NO! MORE!

[mistformsquirrl]

Finished the One Under the Bed <^_^>

"I am the one hiding under your bed,
teeth grown sharp and eyes glowing red"

Will do Joy Buzzer's shades next < ._.> Really happy how this one turned out though.

Next up after Joy Buzzer will be the one under the stairs >_>

[mistformsquirrl]

Did inks for the next piece. Been unhappy with where my Joy Buzzer piece has been going, so it's on the backburner.

Spoiler

I am the one hiding under your stairs,
fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

Colors for that one will come later, I need a bit of a break hehe <@_@>

[mistformsquirrl]

Colors for The One Under the Stairs:

"I am the one hiding under your stairs,

Next will be The Clown with the Tear-Away Face >_> looking forward to it.

[mistformsquirrl]

Just finished up The Clown With The Tear-Away Face:

Spoiler

Show

"I am the clown with the tear-away face,
here in a flash and gone without a trace"

---

I have mixed feelings with this one. There's a lot I like about it, but I could not for the life of me get the shades on the contours of the tear-away face to look right, so I left them mostly off, which lends it a much more flat look than I wanted.

I also wanted to have her physically ripping the face away, but that didn't happen because I couldn't get the hands to look right after many, may attempts. Going to have to do some hand practice soon I think.

That said: I like the general idea I had. Originally this character was going to look a lot like the Clown With the Tear Away Face from The Nightmare Before Christmas - then when I sat down to draw she came out rather well, different, which I like.

So it's a mixed bag.

Onward to The Who When You Call Who's There < . .>/

Taking a break from monsters to work on a Steampunk avatar; so here's my OC Yumi in a vaguely Victorian look:

Colors will come later, right now I'm tired. Very, very pleased with these inks though.

[mistformsquirrl]

*edit* Nm, decided to go with a blue background and burgundy dress < . .> Just needed a little nudge from some Googling it seems.

[mistformsquirrl]

Finished that piece -

Spoiler

Now I just need to turn it into an avatar < ._.>

[Eldest]

It turned out well as an avie. Good job.
... do you do requests? Need a pair of pictures for the same character (shapeshifter).
And finally, if you're the OP of the thread you can necro it if you want, I think. A heads up for if you let another thread drop for a while.

[mistformsquirrl]

I've not really done requests before, but there's no reason I couldn't give it a whirl! <^-^> In fact I'd be happy to. Just let me know what you're wanting and I'll do my absolute best.

[Eldest]

First picture would be her in human form, when she's a human paladin, female, with a greatsword and in plate armor. Medium length blond hair, she tries to hit most of the stereotypical paladin looks while being female. She's actually a succubus, which can't show on the first picture, since none of the other players know about this. But that would be the second picture, no idea what she'd look like in that one yet, though. Will get back to you, if you want to do that one.

[mistformsquirrl]

Should be able to make that happen <^-^> Today I'm going to be a twinge busy; but hopefully I can have something for you tomorrow or Thursday!

[The Succubus]

I've still got that unbelievably sexy Mad Hatter Succubus you did for me a while back. <3

[Eldest]

Should be able to make that happen <^-^> Today I'm going to be a twinge busy; but hopefully I can have something for you tomorrow or Thursday!

No rush, take your time. Art is annoyingly fiddly.
... though now I am curious about this Mad Hatter thing.

[mistformsquirrl]

This'n here <._.> I've gotten better since then; but that's where I started to figure out how to do skin that was more than just a flat shade.

[Philemonite]

I've not really done requests before, but there's no reason I couldn't give it a whirl! <^-^> In fact I'd be happy to. Just let me know what you're wanting and I'll do my absolute best.

I could use a custom avatar, if you are taking requests.

[mistformsquirrl]

I'm game Asteron <^-^> Just FYI though, it wouldn't be OOTS style <~_~> I am terribad at drawing in that style for some reason.*

If you don't mind the lack of OOTS style though I'm totally willing to give it a go <^_^>/

*You would think stick figures would be easy... but Rich and others who work in that style have some form of black magic I think; they bend lines in ways that make my head hurt <>.<>

[Philemonite]

Great. I don't really have anything specific in mind, so whatever you draw I'm fine with it.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Mist! Just wanted to let you know for the future - its not necro if you post on your own thread. Only if someone else does. You posting essentially rejuvinates it.

ION - Glad you're back on the art horse. Can't see the pictures on this computer, but will give em a looksee when I get home!

[mistformsquirrl]

Ah, thank you for that <^.^>

Also I have arts to share - nothing fancy; but I wanted to get this out of the way before I started working on Eldest and Asteron's projects!

Spoiler

Show

<._.> Mostly just a chance to experiment with shininess.

[Eldest]

Looks nice, what's the triple-eye thing? Dunno what the thing on the forehead is. Looks like three eyes, or a painting of three eyes onto the skull.

[mistformsquirrl]

It is indeed precisely that <^-^>

Spoiler

Show

The very short version (I don't want to give away too much since Asteron is in the campaign this is for >_>) is that it's the symbol of a cult that's been making a huge amount of trouble for the city the players are in. The precise relevance of the insignia is not yet known to the PCs though so I don't want to give it away >_> yet~!

[Philemonite]

Damn you eyes for reading that.

[mistformsquirrl]

>_>; Sorry, I should have added a "My players keep out" thing; but it's not much of a spoiler, as I figured you guys had already figured that much out.

Btw the update for the campaign is up <._.> it's a big'n.

[Philemonite]

I was just kidding.
Good thing I didn't have diner yet, your explanations are very graphic.
At least I made my fortitude check.
