"Don't you worry, they won't find my body
I want you to know I found
Peace in another world
Don't keep digging, I want you to leave
Back away from the place
where my ashes are buried"

-- Beborn Beton "Another World"

Well, this started out as a little exercise in trying to refine my old character Warp's face, but before I knew it, I was referencing a pose for her and got a bit carried away on the entire pic (both the pencils/inks as well as the photomanipulation), but all in all, I'm very happy with the end results despite a few little flaws here and there.

I'm thinking of making Warp here the Guardian of the Multiverse most of my characters live in. No one gets in without her knowing about it. I'm not sure what's hse's doing in a graveyard. Perhaps this is part of her domain. Perhaps she's taking quiet, serene moment to reflect on her purpose in life (Or maybe its her unlife. She might be dead for all we know).

I'm never making a photomanipulated background in that high of a resolution ever again.

Enjoy!

I don't know how you do it, but you manage to make the whole different skin color thing work quite well. Loves it.

This is super cool! I really, really like it. It kindof reminds me of those old school Lisa Frank binders/folders we used to have way back when, only much more awesome and steampunk/fantasy/gothish. Thanks for sharing!

HotaruThodt In reply to Amarli-stock [2009-01-08 07:25:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, I used to have a ton of Lisa Frank stuff as a kid, and come to think of it, Warp here does have that feel (probably her colouring). But thank you.

Gaahhh, lost my comment. I think? I might have posted twice. xD
Anyhoo, love this outfit! I'd steal it from her in a heartbeat.

Nifty premise as well. x3 As far as the graveyard goes, I think it's just natural for you to revert back to dark things. I'd like to see you draw something happy and shiny someday. x3

I had a feeling you would like Warpy's outfit.

Heehee. Cute and shiney? How about more 'Caramelldansen'? XD

Have you seen my pic 'And They Called It Puppy Love' featuring ~shirobijin ? That wasn't drawn too long ago and it's cute and pink with a puppy in it.

And I meant different versions of Carmaelldansen. Not just 'Carnage'. XD

I liked so much her eyes! But it's a bit hard to know were to she's looking, maybe at the sky? Since she's in a peaceful moment it makes sense. XD
Her coloured belts have nice acid coulours!

HotaruThodt In reply to YamiHolopainen [2009-01-02 09:44:35 +0000 UTC]

She was supposed to be looking at the viewer, but where her eyes actually are focused, I'll leave that up to the person viewing. :3
Thanks. ^_^

Jazz has allot of work to do before I can get to a propper RP reply T.T sorries
why all nighter...and GEWD! DO ART *cracks teh whip*
also she doesn't look like a man at all she's got to much thigh/booty and tits O.O;; she's just got dancers hips from lotsa exercise... go you actually trying to give your characters personalised body lines rather than generic slop! don't give in to conventional beauty RAAARGH RAAAGH!

Oh okay. I was wondering abut that RP reply, but I didn't wanna push it. *is tempted to have Arkadi say those three little words in the sauna for extra lulz* ^_^
Heh, and after this I won't have anything to colour until I get my stuff scanned. ^.^;Are you referring to Warpy here or Luciva? Either way, Luciva's got some pretty big hips and broad shoulder. We're gonna say her shoulders are body mods though.
And I'm trying to make my people are different shapes and sizes. I need give Monique more hips to go with her boobs though. And I can NEVER get Hotaru's body right. I guess I'm have to take some pics of myself posing in my undies so I can get Hotaru right.

Oh, for some reason I thought you were at work today given how early you're on. ^.^;
Oh okay. I thought that um, might have been it. The particular model I used for Warp's pose wasn't very...hippy. ^.^;
And Luciva has mighty shoulder and curves so far. I'm working on highlights the peeled flesh bits now.
Ooh! I wanna see Monique. Sounds like you got her down pretty well. Gotta love her and her boyfriend, big bountiful Monique and skinny little Noctem. XD

naah just got used to getting up at a sensible time XD
hips are overated XD
oooh peeled flesh
she's only the loosest doodle and Noctem came out alittle too STIFF so I need to redraw allot of it ^.^ Im worried I drew Monique too frumpy to be honest ^.^;

HotaruThodt In reply to IvoryFool [2008-12-30 11:21:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh...okay. That makes sense then. XD
Yep, just got done with her exposed fleshy bits. The fun part of making a cenobite is there's no wrong anatomy; everything can be excused at body mods. XD
lol. Nah, I'm sure you did fine. I mean you drew and awesome DQ. I really need to redraw Monique with some plump lips than in my first pic. ^.^;

But even with over a GB of RAM now, that file slowed down my computer at 69.3 MB. O.O;

And if you have PhotoShop, try the Gradient/Layer Mask Tutorial I have linked in the description of this piece. It helps alot.

And she will definently be guardian. Thanks. ^_^

Something i noticed when you draw women:
Your ladies need HIPS. They have very similar body shapes to your men. I like the pose, though.

i like the undead effect of the eyes, since only some blind people live with eyes that milky. ...ok, and Vergil, so i just screwed my own point....

lots of earrings, which despite what i tell my parents, is totally hot. i also love the rainbow buckles. ^_^

Okay, first of all...where are these flaws you're talking about?
And second...wow, when you say quiet, serene moment my only thought is...well..no. She looks like she's got a mischievous plan going on and a sort of all-knowing mind, lie she wouldn't be surprised if something happened...maybe because she was the cause of it...I don't know.
What more to say? Well I love the drawing and I love the choice of colours in it.
