Description Nightmare from the Soul Calibur series for ~jpg168 , that lovely girl. This is a two-part image. Firstly, being the...first...of my Christmas images, secondly, this is done early for her birthday, which happens to be approaching very shortly. I do hope she likes this one. I spent all day in class doing it.

I haven't drawn Nightie in a long while, so it was rather nice to go ahead and draw him. And hence go absolutely hawg-wild with my inking pens.

Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful-schmonderful day!

Simply amazing.. I love all the touches you added on yourself.. So many details that make this drawing so much cooler.. The sword looks EPIC, the eye looks EPIC, the armor is EPIC.. The arm is pretty awesome as well. I love the dripping effect you made too.

Yeah, only thing that could be improved here would be how narrow his body seems to be, the legs could be left the way they are I guess, but there definitely needs to be some more mass to his upper body, especially with an arm like that.. I hope you make more drawings of Nightmare, I'd love to see them. Great job!

awsome Job, I like alot better than his unicorn armor lol. Reminds me of a mix of him from SC1 (the arm), and SC3 (the armor). I wish they'd make him like this in SC4.

My two fav parts of it would have to be Soul Edge (love the shape of it, and the eye especially), and his helmet which looks bad ass!

I used the arm ref from SCI. You have such an eye for detail! Thanks so much for the comment and the fave! It means alot!

Wow, Nightmare looks like, well, a nightmare to draw! I've never attempted drawing him (the armor is quite intimidating!) and I'm glad to see someone draw him. He's very neat, and his armor is quite amazing! The little wings have always reminded me of Batman. XD

And I think other people have already mentioned this, but Soul Edge looks awesome as well! I'm lovin' the details on this, EYG.

Nightie is quite an intimidating critter, but then again, I adore challenges and detailings...so it was rather enjoyable at that. Thanks for commenting, as always.

... .... OHMYGOSH x3 This only adds to my happyness today.
I've already felt so exited but THIS just adds to is. The details, the pose, EVERYTHING! I need to say that the pose is so sinister which totally adds to the picture, and how Soul Edge looks so cool and creepy.
Thank you so much!

Pretty damn cool EYG!
Only one point that come to mind, though. His chest seems really small. I'd have pictured him with a bigger chest than that, especially since he's wearing armour.

Lobve the dripping soul edge. Uber coolness there.

Hm. Very good point your bring up. Thanks for doing that--I'll keep a more robust nightmare in mind for next time. Otherwise, thank you for taking the time to comment!

That's an interesting new take on good ol' Nightmare(I'm assuming this is Siegfried, rather than his clone in SC3). The arm seems to have a lot more horns than usual, and the mouth-piece now has grating.

I second Biff! Colors would do it nicely.

Sweeeet. Nighty looks so delightfully sinister and badass here, and your knack for detail makes things even more enjoyable to the eye! I can't see anything majorly wrong here, though his demon arm looks a smidge longer and thinner than it should be (it's probably just me, though). I love the flowy hair, the gooey sinew on Soul Edge, and all those many plates of armor. Great job!


...though it would 50 bagillion times cooler if it were colored! Heheh, sorry to bother ya about that (especially when you don't always have a lot of time to color your pieces), but with Nightmare's appealing dark color scheme combined with these awesome lines, this would be just sheer eye-candy. But just ignore me, I'm going off onto a tangent again...

EvilYardGnome In reply to biffproton [2006-12-04 02:55:30 +0000 UTC]

I intentionally made the arm longer. I wanted something soo...long...and soo...thin...that it would literally drag limply on the floor whence he walked. But yesh. Thanks so much for commenting, it means alot.

And you have every right to poke me for neglecting coloring things. I really don't have the time, but I should try making some.
