Description Inspired by the amazing fractal work of Jacob Laren's "Blood Angel" [link] If you look carefully at the lower half of the pic you'll see the part I based my character on. He graciously gave me the go ahead to draw something based off his work.

Enjoy!

Here is a link to one I did with a background. I like the simpler one so I put it in my main gallery. [link]

Wow, that is quite the compliment, and so much what I want to hear. I have learned so much from you and everyone else here... I feel like I'm in the best kind of art school possible.

I'd like to think that all of us have room for improvement.... I know I do, and seeing other artist's work always makes me wonder if I couldn't have done better... You know what I mean. We learn from watching, studing and practicing... It's all good in a world gone wrong.

ssssssssssssss.............

I have a magic pen, I just wave it at the screen - shout some strange words and take a slug of Heinekin - it works. See I learn from the best...

I like it a lot, especially the RED! I love red
The texture too, like on the sleaves and the cloth from the waist... looks excellent! I also really like the design on the chest, very cool.

Thanks a lot for mentioning me, and glad I could somehow inspire you. You're very kind!

It's orange for me - makes me look like a pumpkin when I wear it. Dark reds look nice on me though.

Yeah, you're blonde right? Reds always seem to look good on blondes, hee hee I'm more of a browns wearer, but I'm trying to go for lighter colours since everyone says the dark ones make me...less approachable...they make me sound like some kind of scary beast.

Katied2 In reply to Sleyf [2006-08-29 09:57:59 +0000 UTC]

Nope, about the blond, dark brunette, but my skin colour is fair so reds go well. I like the royal colours. And how could you be unaproachable - you don't growl at people passing on the street do you? Cause you might have to change that habbit.

Ha ha no I try to control the urge hee hee...I don't know, I was wearing a cream caftan shirt one day at college and my maths teacher was like "Oh that's a nice shirt Rasha...light colours make you more approachable."
Hee hee
I said (jokingly of course) "You mean I wasn't approachable before?"
Everyone laughed at that...I don't think I'm mean! I mean I know I'm not all that sociable, I'm too shy when it comes to people

Sleyf In reply to Katied2 [2006-08-29 10:28:54 +0000 UTC]

Yep, I used to be really unbelievably shy, I still am, it's hard for me to make friends when I'm face to face with a person unless I have my sister or another friend with me...because I don't know what to say to start the conversation and keep it going

Katied2 In reply to Sleyf [2006-08-29 13:41:13 +0000 UTC]

Understand. I guess I've rarely been shy, or I just talk a lot to cover it up. Kinda silly.

Sleyf In reply to Katied2 [2006-08-30 10:07:30 +0000 UTC]

No that's a good thing, my sister got me a book to help with self confidence...I read a few pages...then abandoned it. I used to be fine with people, until I changed schools and the people there were evil upon the face of the earth, I don't know why but they had something against me and used to make fun of me alot, I think that might have brought me down a whole bunch.

Thank you, it was fun drawing this. I was going to do a background, but his armor was so complicated I thought it would detract from it.
