Description Well, here's a first at participating at an exchange event for an rp group; I'm aware that #Souls-of-Chaos had shifted the due date, but I'm uploading mine just for insurance, since the new date is somewhere caught up in my school days. and we know my art updates are only going to go downhill from here ahaha

The theme was summer beach fun, and the rp-er I was assigned to was *Kyandii-Chi , and both of her OCs were associated with the ice elemental, hence the title
Sylvia and Makaih were given rather opposing ideas, the former seeming to relax and the latter more prone to having fun; I decided to go with Sylvia's form of sunbathing (though in this heat and direction of the sun, she should be melting...OTL) and let her younger brother (at heart) make some sandcastles and play with the shells, just like any other kid

Artist Notes:
-I so can't draw umbrellas .-. sometimes I look at how I shaped it and started to wonder if the rod is portruding from Sylvia *sigh* The angle needs a bit work, too, after I realized how I drew the towel underneath her and all... I really spent hours trying to figure out a floorplan, and I think this sorta counts as a first with drawing beaches, heh.
-I at first thought I was being lazy, but the overall orange hue kinda made me feel I didn't slack as much as I imagined I liked how the eyes turned out on Makaih (though ppl who watched me draw keep insisting he was a girl, but not anymore, I hope >.> the hair on him turned out nice, too); Sylvia's eyes are quite complex with the red pupils, but I think the frozen droplets below them were the real challenge. Shells are decent for me as well owo
-Aargh there are so much 'stuff' in here despite it looking pretty empty on the beach---I mean, a sand dollar? What was I thinking? //shot it was supposed to full up the space, I think... And the bird on top looks a bit less like a seagull oh well, the experience counts.
-The clothes were based on the OC's, I implimented similar colors or patterns from their original outfits, not that it's that noticable... I'm not really great at drawing swimwear, ahahah (how many first-times are there in this pic? *shrugs*) Sand wasn't much of a stellar performance either, but exploring new brushes never hurt in the long run, same with the oceans.
-I'll have to learn how to make clouds more accented, they look a bit fluid in here, if you know what I mean. Anyways, that should do it for my thoughts. I'm not going to complain as much about anatomy, since I still haven't gotten very far in that.

Ipad, over the course of 2 weeks yup, i was procratinating //shot , spent about... 8-9 hours.

I like how I reply like... weeks later >.>" I sorta dislike being the one to abandon the comment streams first so....
Hrm... you could try to hug him, but I think he might give you frostbite... maybe? (It's probably part of the character design, idk)

Okay. So. I've purposely held off on commenting until now because I was just sooo blown away by it that I wanted to make sure I had the words to even comment properly...

THIS IS JUST SO...djkfhkljfkjasd I -looooooove- it. So much. I'm so tickled that you used both Makaih and Sylvia in this, even though you didn't have to. ;u; <333333 Just--- THANK YOU. When I saw it pop up in my deviations, it totally made my entire day. And since I hadn't deleted it from there, I see it every time I signed in and it would make me happy all over again. xD <333 So thank you sooo much. It's perfect!

kjhfkfd...how do you sand.. and umbrella... and just.. *sob*touches all over picture* So wonderful. <333

Massive props for having the beach ball show through the umbrella... Β Transparency is amazing.


There are some things missing on the boys chest....... um....


Also what is that crawling up the boys leg? Β I know it's supposed to be a shell or sea creature, but what is it?

I'm not sure what you're taking about .-. all I see that's connected to his leg is the mound of sand, and two shells...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

schmintendo In reply to BloodyRosalia [2013-08-16 02:01:33 +0000 UTC]

yeah. Β the shell after the mound of sand and before the clamshell. Β 

I love how I'm being so specific, but i really want to know what kind of shell that is!

Wow Ros, another beautiful piece of art. The ocean is absolutely beautiful and I love the small boat and the bird in the horizon.


I can't draw umbrellas either, and when I was a kid I found it hard to spell umbrella too XD.
