Description Just some concept-ish full body pic of Flames . I like how it came out somehow exept for the fact that I screwed up the front legs and feet and the wings a bit , critique is very apreciated as usual ^^

Background is random , I originally wasn´t even going to do one but as a backgrounds-loving-freak I just couldn´t help it xD

Flames is a joung gryphon who likes to do things on her own and believes in herself .Her strong beak and good flying skills make her a good hunter and her thick feathers and fur allow her to resist tough weather pretty well.
She is quite intelligent but rather quiet , doesn´t talk much unless it´s necesary and thinks about things a lot. Even thought she preferres to be alone ,she does care about others (or at least those who don´t taste good) , she doesn´t care much what others think about her though , but she would risk her live to save somebody else , even a stranger.
Flames is a very curious Gryphon and loves change and new chalenges , she can´t stand the thought of staying somewhere or with someone for a long time , that´s why she´s traveling. Taking away her freedom would be the worst thing you could do to her.
She is sometimes misunderstood as lonely , shy or egoistik and hardly anyone knows her well , her three rats are her only companions on her journey.

watercolours ,markers , coloured pencils on bristol board

and Í´m very proud because this was slightly bigger than my scanner so I had to scan this in two parts and then put them together in pgotoshop and it doesn´t even look too crappy ( yea I know that other people do that all the time but I´m proud anyway )

Uh... You spelled appreciated wrong. Other than that everything's just fine.

LOVE the markings on this one. I admit initial confusion over what the green thing hanging from her neck was... full view fixed that problem! <3

thanks, hardly have time do draw anything at the moment so it´s quite unlikely.

I can respect that... I'm kinda in the same boat at the moment. *wishes she had more time for artwork*

I agree wholeheartedly! Hey, so I'm starting a project of sorts... I recently developed a bunch of new characters for a book I'm writing (and hope to eventually publish), and I want to put them up on DevArt for all to see. So I pick one character and for two weeks do nothing but draw that character. At the end of two weeks I post all the drawings on DevArt and pick a new character. Rinse and Repeat. So I learn to draw the characters better, get some art up after this creative dryspell I've been having, and get some nice pics for my character sheets. Three birds, one stone. What do you think?

Gorgone [2010-02-07 18:21:11 +0000 UTC]

Das ist doch sehr gut gelungen.
Die einzige Kritik: das "Orange" würde ich ein wenig mit schattieren, ansonsten gibt es nichts Verbesserungswürdiges.
Und das Zusammenschnipseln mit Photoshop sieht man gar nicht.

Die Flügel sind sehr schün geworden und deine Hintergründe sprechen mich an^^

Eine Frage, hast du auch eine zeichenrichtung? Als Das Charas überwiegend nach links schauen oder ist das Egal? ich habe diese eine Richtung in mir xD

KonsiWagner In reply to Ariade [2010-02-04 20:45:25 +0000 UTC]

OMG du hast recht xD Ich bin aber durchaus in der Lage welche die nach rechts gucken zu zeichnen ^^ aber es scheint so dass wenn ich einfach nur so vor mich hin zeichne ohne drauf zu achten , was bei Skizzen meistens der fall ist , dann gucken die meistens nach links ^^ hab grad mein zkizzenbuch durchgeblättert und festgestellt, dass da ausnahmslos alle nach links gucken , war mir nie aufgefallen xD

Ariade In reply to KonsiWagner [2010-02-04 20:55:18 +0000 UTC]

Ja ne ich finde das nur immer wieder lustig, weil es bei vielen Zeichnern sehr deutlich ist
Die wenigsten zeichnen auch direkt Frontal, weil man da wenig sieht!

KonsiWagner In reply to Ariade [2010-02-04 20:59:20 +0000 UTC]

Frontal sieht oft extrem merkwrdig aus , grade bei viechern mit schnäbeln xD sogar auf Fotos ^^

GrayWolfShadow [2010-02-04 20:24:01 +0000 UTC]

it's very pretty. The colors look great and i love the detail in the feathers and fur. i would say the wings may be placed coming out a bit to high on her body, but this could just be a stylistic preference of mine...
overall it really looks great^-^
