Description First part of my Drawing for Electronic Media final, complete!

We decided on a group project inspired by Mortal Kombat and other fighting side-scrollers. So, we had to design and draw a character in a fighting pose and create a background for them, which would be their "home turf".

Naturally, I chose Nox, and wanted him to be casting a spell. He uses water a lot, so I went with that.

The outfit... I was just playing around with that one. It's a design I thought about using for his squad uniforms, but decided on the other one. I might still use this for something else in the story, but for now, Nox is just modeling it.

Downloaded the beta of CS6 a week or so ago, and I'm absolutely loving it. The painting tools top Sai's, so I'll definitely be milking that while I have it. It was fun to experiment with brushes on this one.

Anyway, next up is the background; I'll post that when I'm done, as well. Enjoy!

wow you did it again great circle, i love the shine in the boots and that soft texture of the clothes and the hair, just a little bit more work on the skin on the face for making a great sub realistic style almost like 3d

Noses can definitely be tough. Just keep working on it, they take practice

Awesome ^.^ That spell circle (dunno what the technical term is) is so cool in the way its style is different from Nox & his clothes & hair and whatevs... stands out very nicely ^.^

Thanks! I call it an array, but spell circle works too. I think they can also be called runes... Glad you like it though <3

FINE. MAKE ME LEAVE TWO COMMENTS INSTEAD OF ONE.

I can't really decide what I love more about this. The array or the water... PROBABLY BOTH. I thought it was interesting that you changed the paintbrush for the edge of his coattail. Like how it's not a smooth blend, but a rake. Same in the knee area in his left leg. Was that intentional?

...Considering you're such a perfectionist, I'm sure it was. |D

Deus-Nocte In reply to J-Cleo [2012-05-19 03:07:39 +0000 UTC]

I DIDN'T MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING.

Thank you! I thought maybe the array might be overpowering, but I'm glad you like it.

That was... semi-intentional? Haha. I used that brush for all the reflective light, just messing around really. But I liked the texture it made, so I left it~ I think it gives it a good look. c:

Graphic novel will be really neat then! Do you have the story planned out already?

Deus-Nocte In reply to BluRequiem [2012-05-21 19:42:30 +0000 UTC]

We do. (I'm writing it with a friend) It's going to be around 30 volumes, give or take, and we completed the first draft some months ago. We're working through our first revision now. Hopefully I'll have the pilot out by the end of this year.

Nox looks so good here too. I rather like the experimental outfit.

Indeed! At first I was thinking about opting out of the group assignment, but the idea we voted on won me over.

Thank you~! Glad you like the outfit, just have to find a place for it. |D
