Description ...Um. Sorta... As if I don't draw him enough already.

The thing is, Meneur is very expressive and enjoys talking with his hands. He dances around, strikes random poses, stuffs like that. I thought that the mask would work perfectly if I somehow managed to get expressions to work. 8D

I've also changed his face shape so it matches his body more. Now everything is sort of triangular in a way! And he's gone real skinny for some reason... what do you guys think? Do you like this shape, or the old one?

Eh... I dunno. consider this a reference? Maybe I should write a profile sometime, since I'm planning to write a story (with chapters and everything... hopefully.) , but there is so much to his character it's hard to stick it all into a profile. .w.

So... yesh. Expect drawings of Meneur where you will get to know him (and what an eccentric crazy jerkbutt he is). It's about time I actually showed who my characters really are and their stories. So far only the people I talk to in chatrooms and instant messangers know what they're like. To everyone else... well, they are just people I draw.

...Also, parchment stock is not a stock. Heck, it's not even real parchment; it's the back of an old book I have. I scanned it and played around with the contrast and stuffs.

...I know the leg is wonky. I tried fixing it and ended up ruining the original. Fff...

Finally we get to see this! ......... The last expression to the right is freaking me out a bit though. I never expect an expression like that from Meneur |D
I also like the full body of him; you gave a nice flow to his cloak

frisca-freak In reply to Ponsii [2011-05-09 08:48:19 +0000 UTC]

XD There was actually supposed to be a last expression with him in complete fear, so it would be like.. first 'is "ehehe.." and then "no..." and then "NO! D8"

...

Thanks! I just wish the leg wasn't so damn wonky! And when I tried fixing it I made the legs "anatomically correct", which made them too short. And then I thought the mask needed fixing, but ended up erasing it so much the paper was about to tear.
Moral: Don't fix what isn't broken.

Ponsii In reply to frisca-freak [2011-05-09 08:56:10 +0000 UTC]

But we never got to the "NO! D8" did we? .w."

That is the bad part of being an artist; we are perfectionists in a way.
No fixing what isn't broken again, dearie. =w= Good moral.

Woooot, face expressions! 8D
You really are getting better at coloring, yesh...... I wuvs it. ;w;

Each and every face expression is such a delight to see! And I agree, the triangular....ness fits him more!

And I ADORE the background you used and how you got it.

YES!

D'awww, Laura... ;w;

Thanks! I was watching this thingy about creating cartoon villains and what kind of shapes people usually give them.. like.. cute things are usually round while evil things are usually pointy. I noticed that except for a few things it applied to Meneur too. So I went "what they hey."

Fffff- I feel like such a cheater! But hey, at least I'm not using someone else's stock! I can actually use this if I need to take commissions!

It's the truths! ;w;

Welcomes! Ohhhh, I sees! OwO That makes a lot of sense actually. Curvy for cute and angular for evil. Where is this thingy you watched? owo

Aww, it's not cheating! It's being creative.
And that's right!
I actually think it's a great idea to make your own stock. That way you can really say the whole artwork is yours. XD

Twas this thingy called the Gnomnom workshop or something like that.. I'll send you a link to a download of the files, since I don't think they're on youtube. Unfortunately, you might also need to use and FLV player to see them. .w.

Oho~

Thank you, I'm glad you think so!

Funny thing is, I had only just realised that a few days ago when I was playing Rayman. My reaction was "D'OH!"
