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.Last edited by KillItWithFire; 2010-12-28 at 12:04 AM.

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:
Spoiler
Corrections made, here's the newest one so far:
The one thing that bugs me about it (no pun intended ) 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.Last edited by Derjuin; 2010-12-28 at 01:32 AM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
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.The Iron Avatarist Crypt of Fame - Exorcising photobucket from the historic archives of the forum.

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
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 ) 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.
Okay, I'll give that a try.
That's her right, right? Or my right...?Last edited by Derjuin; 2010-12-28 at 12:22 AM.

Yeah, the wings don't look like they come together.
Here's an old image I made that has a better wing view.
Spoiler
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
That looks better, but one last nitpick; the top of the closer, left wing should be higher than the further, right wing.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Sure - here's a few things I tried after removing the line:
Spoiler
No line, closely resembles original hairstyle; this one doesn't quite look right to me...
No line, hair and ear moved so that the hair is gathered behind the ear:
actually, you're right - I'll do that...the only problem is that the thread won't auto-update on the list if I simply edit (I believe - I might be wrong on this though).

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
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.
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
You might want to thicken all the lines (except the ones on the face), also, give fire a border, either black or slightly darker than the bordermost color in it.
Finally, randomize it's pattern, if you need an idea, search for flame in google and try to trace one and then edit it a bit.
Those are beautiful, as everything else that you have done to date. I really like the third one from the left. Also, in the last one, the one you are planning to use, you could place more of those darker than hair lines to give a better sensation of movement.Last edited by AsteriskAmp; 2010-12-28 at 04:15 PM.

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)

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
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)Last edited by KillItWithFire; 2010-12-28 at 05:45 PM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
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.
It looks awesome, but you may want to reduce line size on her, a bit, not too much, but still, it looks amazing.
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.The Iron Avatarist Crypt of Fame - Exorcising photobucket from the historic archives of the forum.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
There is another way to do fire. If you take the area a flame takes and split it up into many overlapping, but not identical sections, you can make a flame that looks like less of a large bulky object that reacts to the environment behind it, such as in the avatars below.
Just another way to do it. It looks great as is.Currently RPG group playing: Endworld (D&D 5e. A Homebrewed post-apocalyptic supplement.)
My campaign settings: Azura; 10,000 CE | The Frozen Seas | Bloodstones (Paleolithic Horror) | AEGIS - The School for Superhero Children | Iaphela (5e, Elder Scrolls)
