Description My Entry for the "4 Elements Contest" [link] by =ElephantWendigo and ~xTheSoul87x

Well, I'm pretty bad to express myself in English but I'll try my best.

I choosed Shye and Nuvat for this contest featuring the "FIRE" element. Why? I know that Shye should be matched with ice (water) because he's suppossed to be very cold and all, but pairing Nuvat, it doesn't make sense in my opinion. Nuvat has the power to disolve himself into a cloud of smoke (so I automatically identify him with fire, no doubt), so Shye should be the the person that provokes the actual fire, the flames.

That's the reason why I drew both of them in the same "body". They're connected by the fact that they're an actual pairing, so their element should be connected as well. Shye is the one that hurts Nuvat (this fact is represented by the fire in his hand) and Nuvat is the one that suffers the consequences of that (represented by the smoke). It's as simple as:

Fire -> Provocation (Shye)
Smoke -> Consequence/result (Nuvat)

Pfew... I tried.

So, here is it. A different art style from my usual drawings, I know. I used a bunch of things and experimented a lot, but this was the best result I think :-/

I don't know if it happens to you too, but when viewing this picture, I have the feeling that it smells like some singed stuff or something LOL

Aaaah, thank you very much for your critique~~ I really appreciate your words! ;w;

Well, actually they're not my characters but the persons that created the contest. Yes, I know I have a lot of anatomy problems, specially in head-shots and details, but thanks for pointing me which was EXACTLY the problem here! (I know that there's always something wrong but I can't point at it at all OTL).

I'm glad you still could see some ice references in the picture, because the character in the right should be attached to ice (water) element because he's very very very cold. But definitely he turns very hot when he's with his beloved slave! I must admit the color balance was a difficult chosing because I had to make the characters looking like their owners designed it but still making the picture "equilibrate". That's why I think I'll always be better at black and white! I don't have problems with colors that way haha ~

Thank you again very much

Okay so I wasn't too harsh? QuQ I was afraid I was being hypocritical as I'm not even this good of an artist myself.
What I would have tried is but the fire on the RIGHT side, keeping characters in their places, and the smoke on the left. The ice guy has a lot of detail and weight to him, maybe that would have balanced it a bit more. (and then you can make the dirty joke the guy on the right makes him nice and steamy hurr)

Head shots are hard D: You got guts to take it on. I can really only do 3/4 images or 2/3 turns myself.

You're welcome sweetie QwQ I'm relieved you didn't rage or flip out on me. Specially after the troll review. Ty for doing such pretty pixuuuurrrzzz.

I will tell you something: You don't need to be an "expert" to see someone's else mistakes. I'm waaaaaaay worse than other awesome artists and I can see where their mistakes are (and I'm not even able to make a piece at least as half as good). I don't think that's hypocritical at all; in real life, "proffessional art-critiques" and even publishers don't know how to take a pencil, and they still have got the capacity to tell where the mistakes are and force the artist to be better ;D

Argh I love this x-x! The look in his eyes and the pencil shading just add to the overall smooth but sketchy feel of his. It's very beautifully done! I also love how when I look at the blue side, I seem to see a completely different person from when I look at the darker haired side. Sooo cool~ *~*

Generalmente, la gente que protesta acerca de otra en plan "apesta su arte" o "me das asco" o "hasta mi hermano de 2 años podría hacerlo mejor" no son más que una panda de envidiosos que ni siquiera saben coger un lápiz.

O como mínimo, "mediocres" en arte.

Yukyona-G-R In reply to Lehanan [2012-08-20 03:22:05 +0000 UTC]

la verdad si, como bien dicen algunos:
"lo mejor que puedes hacer por ti es convertir la envidia en inspiración"
todos sentimos envidia alguna vez pero se supera y ya
lo malo es que hay gente que no entiende eso y su envidia los lleva a hacer ridiculeces como estas..
pero ni como ayudarles, solo nos queda reirnos de ellos

Lehanan In reply to Yukyona-G-R [2012-08-20 14:38:04 +0000 UTC]

Es que para mí la "envidia" siempre será eso. Muchas veces cuando veo imágenes digo... "joder, odio a este tipo, qué bien dibuja, argh!!!" pero precisamente eso lo que me hace es inflar mis mejillas y decir... "¡¡pos voy a intentar ser tan buena como él ò__ó"

La gente que arroja mierda sobre las personas a las que tiene envidia y odia por ser "mejores" que ellas se merecen más mierda XD

I don't know what the fuck is up with that stupid critique but ignore the haters. Sheesh.

Now back to my awe at this. It looks badass and very well-made. I especially love how it's not digital. I love digital works to but there is something raw with looking at pencil. Keep up the fantastic work.

Ignore the haters? Not at all! I love trolls! IT shows how stupid and pathetic people can be so NO WAY I can ignore them! They're so fun!!

Thank you very much! Actually it's mixed media; the picture itself is all made in graphite and pencil colors but the smoke textures were made using the stock photo I linked in the description and digital painting ;3;
