Arts and CraftsThe place to talk about stick figure avatars, graphic design, fan art, or any application of the visual arts and creative writing--or just to show off your latest masterwork!
Erm, yeah. Hi, I'm Saeyan, I lurk mostly, I draw stuff (either manga style or semi-realistic), predominantly elves and of that predominantly V. I sing? I take photos sometimes?
Newest art is on the last page (you can click 'end' on the post headers to jump to the bottom)
I won't be updating this post any more because it's a hassle.

Background: In Origins V (sarcastically?) remarks that he is good at gardening. I don't actually have a clue about gardening, but I belatedly realized there should probably be some dirt somewhere...
And the original pencil scan...
Spoiler
Episode II of Garden Elf V: Here. Thanks, Glass Mouse!
Horse! (w photo ref for help)
Older (what I can find anyway)
I actually found a site where someone painstakingly mirrored my Pairings-era pics to their own Photobucket account...so thank you "ac360", whoever you are.
PAIRINGS-ERA ART:
Vaarsuvius
Spoiler
Standalone V illustration (but also comes in wallpaper sizes)
I'm gonna be against the flow here and say outlined.
What? Everyone else are against the flow too, okay?

Re: Saeyan Finally Makes a Thread [Updated 9th May]
That reminds me good old times of crack-pairing thread .
I like your style of drawing, and the new picture of Vaarsuvius in the garden is simply awesome.
Re: Saeyan Finally Makes a Thread [Updated 9th May]
Oh em gee SQUEEE!
Love the one in the garden and the one with Polozius/Zee! Especially that last one, because I could never get around to drawing the more obscure/secondary characters and you're doing a flaming job at it. Nice to see these things in colour, too. :)

V getting stung by a bee and swearing never to touch such "time-wasting nonsense!" again
And of course it was too good to pass up. But it seems sequential art just isn't my thing.
If confused by messy lines, this should make things clearer. Transcript:
Spoiler
Panel 1: (V stands in garden)
Panel 2: (V mops brow)
VAARSUVIUS: IT SEEMS MY EXERTIONS WERE PROFITABLE AFTER ALL.
(Bee approaches with stinger extended)
Panel 3: (Bee stings V)
SFX: CHRK (I dunno, it sounds like a plausible mutant bee-sting sound...)
Panel 4: (V's eyes grow wide, flush appears on cheeks)
Panel 5: BOOM!
Panel 6: (V stands amongst smoldering ruins of garden)
Panel 7: VAARSUVIUS: BY THE GREAT ELVEN GODS -- I SWEAR, I WILL NEVER TOUCH SUCH TIME-WASTING NONSENSE AGAIN!
Panel 8 (inset): (Ashes of bee smolder)

Awesome. I love the soft and rough (makes sense, yes?) shading and brushstrokes on the robe and the hair... And what little I can see of the face looks very well-done to me. However, if the lighting is meant to be moonlight, the colour of the skin shouldn't look nearly so warm, and there should be some deep, all but impenetrable shadows present. Moonlight isn't generally bright enough to create decent refractory lighting. (Although technically this is fantasy and a different, fantasy world at that, so everything goes. ;P )

thanks! But if only you could see the rest of the face T_T

The laws of optics remain the same despite V's insistence on shelving physics under 'fiction'. You are, of course, perfectly entitled to doing that (considering what I did in your thread!) and right on all counts.
My defence will be that the background was an icon texture I blew up and threw in there because white looked too boring and didn't show up ???'s dress properly.
The laws of physics DON'T have to remain the same in this case above all others because the composition and size of our moon and thus the brightness of the light reflected by it are entirely happenstance. :P It would be perfectly plausible for a fantasy-world moon to shine more brightly by just, I dunno, being BIGGER, I suppose. XD
...and yes, I probably did mean reflected lighting. O_o

But the light being reflected and all that is still due to physics. Yes but I get what you are saying :P
Not OOTS, but here's a little almost-tutorial about drawing stick figures that I made for Thanqol and first posted in his thread:

Okay, the horse is dodgy. But V's pose and the colouring are just amazing, like straight out of a comic book or something. Squeee!

O mighty Kaytara, please share your equine-drawing wisdom with me!
I shall try. :P
It's simple - not necessarily easy, but simple. You just lack knowledge of horse anatomy. Study horse anatomy the way you study humanoid anatomy, and then apply.
The horse in your picture is pretty good, except for the shading and the three-dimensionality, especially when contrasted against the excellent inking work on the rider.
Horses from above look like this: (left side, obviously :P)
They're very... barrel-y. Shade a horse's torso the way you would three consecutive spheres, with the middle one being the biggest. Really, the entire equine body is like that. Spheres upon spheres. They're very... curvy. Curvaceous, even. xD Look at some photos, particularly from in front and from the back, and you'll see what I mean. Even their legs are all curvy. When you're ready, move on to more refined things like muscles and stuff.

Now you're stuck with Horse! as your thread title because you waited for too long before changing it!
Oh no! Are you serious? Is there anyone I can ask to get it changed to "Drawings by Saeyan" just this once?
I don't like horses...not yet...

I love watercolor, it might be my favouirte medium.
I know! first paint I used, still my favorite. Sucks if you try to use it without proper supports though. BTW that is actually gouache, but I'm so used to diluting that it came out like watercolor.

Well, indeed the only ones who can change it are the mods now. Maybe you could ask one of them to change it?
