Description Poster!

I’ve been working on more character designs!

This is the first poster I’ve ever made. It prints out really well-I have one hanging in my room. I thought about making $10 prints of them-or small posters. Hope that price sounds reasonable! If you are interested please note me-thank you!

This time I was brave and used pastels on toned paper. The headdresses keep getting more beautiful. The profile reference belongs to my brother, and the rest is pure imagination!

---------------------------------------------------------
Character Info:
This is an Echo-a being of complete silence. If you think about it, every living thing has a vibration, but these beings are born from the Void-on other words-the rests between the notes!
Echos cloak themselves in the vibrations around them in order to take form.

Echos are extremely sensitive to vibration (sound)and it can take them a long time to become comfortable with the sounds around them. As a precaution, the younger ones (Echos can live for thousands of years0 wear devices on their ears the resemble tuning forks. They serve to filter out vibrations (at time harmful0 that the Echo has not yet adapted to.

Frequencies of violence and hatred can damage an Echo greatly if they are not prepared for them. They are enlightened beings and must continually return to the Void to shed off their surrounding vibration. If an Echo does not return to the Void for a cleansing the vibrations will eventually consume him and destroy his silence. He will cease to exist.

I couldn't decide which one I like, so I faved them all. I see colors for the black and white one.... I want to paint it!! It's your work though. But would you be okay with me printing it and coloring it? I would show you what I did!! It's gorgeous as is, all of them are, but that one screamed colors at me...

Are you going to do green?

Thank you very much!
That would be fine if you colored it-all I ask is that you include a link to the original work in your artist comments
Have fun!
I've posted a green version

Echo's don't have different gender-but they can appear as a male or a female-to fit in with our society
Thanks friend!

Ahh, okay. So is this one just....an echo, or is it fitting in?

He does look rather male-and yes-he's trying to camouflage within humanity

I'm starting to go hardcore into fantasy art. My stuff used to be heavily influenced by anime, but I got tired of seeing the same thing over and over again.
Thank you for the kind words!

Nothing wrong with anime. Throughout the centuries art styles have changed with the times. And I think all your art on DA is fantastic. I love it all!! Your lineart, your jackal, your characters......all absolutely wonderful!!!

Thank you so much my friend! I try my hardest to be original-and it's the most benefiting feeling for me when I am. Not that I don't like fanart-it's so wonderful-but so is originality!
Thank you so much for the kind words-you too are an awesome artist!
