Description FULL VIEW!!

Reaching for a place . . . a celestial, heavenly world to which he can belong . . .

Yeah, just my half harpy, half angel character Finch in front of...um....clouds :B. He's a bit older-looking here than I usually draw him....I'm still trying to decide on what age to make him XD. How old does he look to you guys, in this pic? I can't figure it out XD.

Anyway, his story, which I've been writing and have written 18,500 words of so far , involves the search for his father (an angel), and along the way, betrayal....trust....love 8D....ACTION/life-death chase scenes!....and self-identity and growth~......(it is going to be quite the bildungsroman 8D.)

SO, this was just pointless practice with drawing humans without using a reference....yeah...I already see lots of errors |D;. Oh well, I had fun :B. Crits are accepted, though~! I would love to improve . Something about the eyes still seems off, though...
I wonder if anyone is even gonna like this |D;;;;. ......I lack so much confidence about my people-drawing that it's not even funny |D;. ....Okay, maybe it is a little. Lol insecurity.

Dunno how many hours.

the details on this are AMAZING. i love the style, but i see what you mean about the eyes -- i think a lot of it has to do with that a simpler, more cartoony style has leaked into your human realism. maybe making them less sphere-like and more football-shaped like human eyes would fit the picture better? also the whites seem a little TOO white. it makes them stand out a lot. [unless that's what you want]. otherwise this is awesome, you've improved so muchh!! : ]

p.s. I LOVE FRECKLES.

16 maybe 17? the only things I can see that are not "perfect" only make him look more realistic. I love the clouds and his hair!

I think it looks really good, very impressive work on this one. Great looking colors and fantastic work with the details. I like his expression, even if he looks older I think he still has a child-like expression.

Aphrael7 [2007-09-04 12:09:48 +0000 UTC]

Why is it that every time you draw Finch I get this amazing urge to draw fanart?
I love his hair, I want to fluff it up He looks about 15, 16, 17 to me...

Anyway, are you going to be posting his story anywhere? I personally would love to read it *fangirls all over Finch*

kalicothekat In reply to Aphrael7 [2007-09-08 01:07:52 +0000 UTC]

;u; probably because you're the number one fangirl ;D <33
Thank you!!
.............hmm...I haven't decided XD. Maybe at least like the first part...or I could at least tell you the summary or something XD;. The thing is, I wouldn't want to post the whole thing in case I ever wanted to do anything with the story someday like...(in my dreamslol) getting it published or making it into the script for a comic or a children's illustrated book (though I'd have to tone down...the violence and stuff |DDD -dies-), or something. Hmm....

Yay! 'tis finished, and he's not suffocating! CX The blue and neck fluff looks really cool, and the eyes are awesome X3
If you look hard, there is something a little off with the eyes. Maybe (our) left (his right) is a little bigger? Not sure >.O
But he looks awesome, and that hair and amazing! CX

I'm not good with guessing ages |D; But he does look older than usual
18,500 words? o.O
A bit too long for dA then? XD

I still love this guy so much. <3 I should try drawing him some day... I love the way you've done his hair, and the textures are all perfect!

I'd say he's around 15/16, too, from the looks of this picture.

Eee, lovely. <3
