Description Please Full-View, I put a lot of small details in this-
The full-view is LARGE so BEWARE


I'm planning on posting yet another version of this picture sometime later. XD I guess this is mostly a technical piece I really wanted to improve with this one, but as things turn out I need to practice and learn much more. And because of that, I don't like this one as much as I'd hoped I would.
I'm still fairly proud of it.

I'm not really sure what the story is behind this is.

WIP 2
WIP 1

[Edit] After looking at this picture for a while I decided that some the colours were really washed out, so I ve made it a bit more vibrant.


Photoshop.

This took me a loong time, though most of it was procrastination. XD

wow, this is definitely my favourite one of yours.
also, you know BoboMuffinMaster (I think that's her deviantart name), well I'm a friend of hers and she showed me some of your drawings and you're so amazing!

Thank you! I'm glad you really like this one. I have to admit, it's one of my favourites as well. I'd really like to redo it sometime with the skills I have acquired since creating it.

Great job, I love the shading on the skin and how you did the background ^ ^

Yeah, it's really expensive, but very worth it. Adobe actually has student pricing now, so if you belong to one of their eligible schools you can get it way cheaper. Photoshop CS4 for high school students is reduced from $1000 to around $400, I think.

W O W.

That's more than half off :/

too bad, I've spent all of my money on copic markers xD

I know, it's amazing.
Copic markers are good, too. I kinda wish I had more myself even if I don't use traditional media very often.

I love them!!
Almost my whole gallery (the decent part at least) is done with them ^ ^

I thought your art looked like markerwork.
You've got some great detail work happening.

Why thank you ^ ^
I feel like such a noob compared to some of the people on here though D:

Tell me about it. I can only practise hard and hope that does something to become an artist like them.
It can be frustrating, though.

Great effort The looking down perspective is my biggest weakness, you pulled it off nicely. An epic-filled drawing, the type of drawings i enjoy most

AquilaChrysaetos In reply to minties [2008-09-20 17:13:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much!
You're one of my favourite artists on deviantART!

I agree epic drawings are great, so I'm trying to make more of them.
Yeah, I find the looking-up and looking-down perspective really difficult.

minties In reply to AquilaChrysaetos [2008-09-21 09:03:07 +0000 UTC]

Good luck! i hope you won't burn yourself out tackling too many epic pieces. I've attempted so many myself but most of the time gave up, however you still learn a few things from trying

AquilaChrysaetos In reply to minties [2008-09-21 16:11:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. I hope I won't.
You do have a certain amount of them, though.
I know I can't create only epic pieces, it takes too much thinking! lol
I agree you definitely learn something from trying, even if it is never finished.

Cool! I love all of the random I-beams. And drawing the city in the background must've taken a lot of patience *_*. Nice job!

AquilaChrysaetos In reply to DiscoBird [2008-08-20 16:54:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much.
The city did take a lot of pateice - mostly because I had/have no idea how to do one, so I had to continually work on it, and luckily it got better each time.
Yeah, those things really are random. XD

DiscoBird In reply to AquilaChrysaetos [2008-08-20 17:46:08 +0000 UTC]

Well, I think the I-beams add a nice touch to the perspective, because your eye follows them into the city and to the girl. ^^
