Description So this was inspired by a conversation with some friends about what we thought a L33T angel would look like. This was my concept. Hope you like it. Once again photoshop and wacom

digitizer? The whole piece was done in photoshop 6 with a wacom tablet.

wacom is a brand name. A tablet is a touch sensitive device that plugs into your computer allowing you to draw with a pen instead of with a mouse. If you want more info there sight is [link]

Wacom board is like a digitizer i think! A touch screen with a pen!

I already have one:\

How can I start? Yesterday I sat with some paper and a pencil.. but I didn't know where to start! Have you got some tips how to practise? Some basic drawing skills or something!

Dynasthai In reply to SorenWrang [2004-07-15 17:24:25 +0000 UTC]

pick something simple something that interests you and try to draw it every day. One of the classes i took we drew our hand every day at the start of class. By the end of the class your drawing of your hand looked much better then on the first day. For me I like to draw people, So I am constantly sketching people. Weather from real life or my imagination. When drawing from life. Try to realy look at what your drawing. Dont draw what you think you see, draw what you trully do see. Its a little weird at first because you mind likes sort of play tricks on you. If your not actualy looking at an object you mind tells you what it looks like, but it usualy doesnt look exactly the way your mind says it does. Hope that makes sence. Bassicaly just draw as much as possible. Doesnt realy matter to much what it is. The more you draw the better you get, though it does help to have a goal of some sort.

Hey,

This image is absolutely beautiful. I love the movement and the wings in it, and the colors. The only thing I could possibly critique on that I don't think has already been said (though I could be wrong on that) is how (my) right oriented the image is.. it kinda makes the poor left side feel a bit lonely.

Asides that, absolutely beautiful. +fav

bourgogne [2004-07-01 19:39:33 +0000 UTC]

I still love the way the wings look on this one. Especially the texturing on the back of the right one. *cries hysetically* I need to get another tablet *sniff* in fact the textures of every type is very well done. do you use special texture brushes or is it all hand induced?? o.O

Dynasthai In reply to bourgogne [2004-07-01 21:43:19 +0000 UTC]

i ocasionaly use texture brushes but most of the time its just lots of brush strokes.

The wings are gorgeous, especially the one that is further from the viewer. I really enjoy looking at your work.

Skotlex [2004-06-29 04:51:36 +0000 UTC]

The concept is interesting.. the pose is fascinating... the execution... well, impressive.
A leet angel indeed... those wings really are something to behold. One just has to wonder how did you managed to achieve the level of texture detail in them.. could it have been done by hand alone? It certainly is impressive. The rest of the coloring and shade work is pretty good too, but it's the texturing of the wings the one that wins the prize away

I don't think the design of the angel is as leet as it could be, though. I don't know where.. but I think I've seen much more awesome angel designs somewhere before XP Not that this design is bad at all... but for example, I find her metal mesh a bit uninspired and plain. And where are the spikes? An angel can't be complete without lots of pointy spikes embedded with holy symbols everywhere Heh, well, I suppose it's a different approach to designing angels than what one would be used to by this day To yer credit, those boots do look like serious business (as much as the sword, at least ^^).

Ya know, there's but one thing that kinda bugs me when I look at this image... it kinda feels like there's some sort of 'bump' stretching out from the mail right below her chest (around the point where she bents the most). Considering the pose.. and that small bump... it's kinda like something were about to rip out from there O.o "Alien", anyone? (maybe that's just me seeing weird things where there aren't, though O.o)

Oh.. the background is kewl. Simple, yet it adjusts to the character's lightning scheme so well.. well, all in all, like others have mentioned, it's a pretty cool image =3

thanks for the comment. Yes I suppose it could be more extream and as much as I like this pick I may go back and rework it. Make it a little cleaner and mabie change the design some. As for the texture on the wings. That was achieved with a whole lot of brush strokes. Glad you liked it.

Skotlex In reply to Dynasthai [2004-06-29 05:28:33 +0000 UTC]

Just a bunch of brush strokes? Wow.. I should get practicing on that.. it's pretty awesome what can be achieved with a bunch of brush strokes ^^
And I'd say the angel design can just get better if ya change it a bit.. character redesigns can be fun
