Description What's this? Ashy posted some artwork!?

It's been a long time since I did any traditional work. I feel very rusty still but at least my confidence is boosted from this to finally finish of an art trade I've been dying to do. My inking skills are far from clean but seeing as I've only done it once before this was a pretty good effort. 

Anyways, here we have featured my character, Glacia. I wanted to practice with shading hair so she was my first choice for this. I'm quite please with how it came out in the end here. This altogether took me several hours but I very much enjoyed the entire thing, especially the colouring c:

So I hope you all enjoy, and tell me what you think of this style and of my little icy lady here~

That's interesting, well she's not at all inspired by anything from that

She's like Elsa from Frozen and Mirage from Incredibles.Or just female Silver the Hedgehog?

I guess there are similarities, but she's not really intended to be like any of those characters.

I wonder why people are comparing her to Elsa from Frozen because she looks no where like Elsa Lol

The traditional shading looks so amazing and the character here is beautiful with the stylish lovely hairstyle ! ^_^ The lineart is also very clean too.

Little-Ash-Hey In reply to Astral-Wingz [2014-10-23 06:28:16 +0000 UTC]

People instantly think that a character with white hair and ice powers is an Elsa remake She's not really anything like a Elsa though, and she was a character of mine long before Frozen came along.

Thank you for the lovely compliments, I tried very hard with all the shading C: Hoping to improve next time though!

Astral-Wingz In reply to Little-Ash-Hey [2014-10-27 14:11:18 +0000 UTC]

Yes

Happens all of the time. One SMALL shared feature then boom, " that character looks like ____ " Or " She looks just like ____ "

It's not like Elsa actually owns the ice power idea and white hair. And your character here has a completely different hairstyle from Elsa.

No problem ! The shading looks really good.

Why is being compared to Elsa suddenly such a bad thing? I don't think people are telling you that as if it's something to be ashamed of.

Astral-Wingz In reply to shadowsbadgirl [2015-01-23 21:03:31 +0000 UTC]

I know, I was most likely speaking in general about character comparisons. Usually over smallish features, that's all.

They do look similar in terms of color schemes. But that's about it. So, you're right 'bout that ^^
She's got a pretty stare, even if it's cold :3

Little-Ash-Hey In reply to Astral-Wingz [2014-11-04 11:32:26 +0000 UTC]

I would understand if she were named Elsa, or had braided hair, snowflakes, was pale and such, but she's not. I get that there a trolls out there who just recreate characters in different forms, which bugs me sometimes too, but she's a completely original character

Thank you, I'm glad you think so

  Great, there you go beating my digital shading on paper.  Looks like I've got some improving to do... 

   Wonderful job here.  I was wondering what you had on the way.  Hopefully your scanner will decide to work soon.
You did very will with depth here.  I thought it was Star-Wingz's for a second and that's a good thing in a way since she's really good with it.

   Would she happen to be somewhat inspired from that character in Frozen?

   Anyway, I'm off to work on my shading because you just showed me that I have a lot of work to do.
And excellent work of course.

Little-Ash-Hey In reply to Drake6401 [2014-10-07 01:29:05 +0000 UTC]

Oh that is not so! I just have a different way of shading, I couldn't do half the things you do anyway.

She was one of a few traditional artists who gave me the inspiration to finally do something. As well as a few others around here that I've been watching for years.

You could say she is somewhat inspired by Elsa Though I can't give her all the credit. Glacia here is kind of a remake of a very old character of mine called Yuru. You might remember I drew Glacia earlier in the year as well fav.me/d7c63y6

Thank you very much Drake

   Either way, I like your's better.  You would probably learn really quickly.

  Ah, yes I do remember.

  You're welcome.  I really look forward to more work like this.
You know, that image of Crisis and Feralla you made a while ago would look great with your talent. Well better than it already does.

Because you're basically downgrading my style by comparing.

Well that's not very nice to say about Ashy. 

I think ya'll are both very good.

Astral-Wingz In reply to Drake6401 [2014-10-10 22:48:28 +0000 UTC]

What I didn't say anything about Ashy Was just pointing out that you said that you basically like someone's style over mine in comparison.

Drake6401 In reply to Astral-Wingz [2014-10-10 23:06:30 +0000 UTC]

Thankfully this was just a misunderstanding.

I thought you were saying that being compared to Ashy was an insult.

I like you both equally.  You have have your own styles and strong points.

Astral-Wingz In reply to Drake6401 [2014-10-10 23:21:39 +0000 UTC]

No I wasn't insulting Ashy at all, just saw that you were putting down my style by saying that someone else's (in general) was better over mine Nothing about Ashy at all.

Doesn't really matter to me lol was just fooling with ya

Drake6401 In reply to Astral-Wingz [2014-10-10 23:34:17 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't saying either is better.  You're equal to me, so no problem here.

I know but, something sparked the notion and I was afraid it was something I said to anyone.  Sorry for the mistake.

Axe-Cell [2014-10-07 00:53:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh my goodness me!! The shading on her overall is just... so beautiful~ Like seriously, the colours, the way that the light is upon her, they're just... I-I swear, I'm not crying! :'D Dang dust has gotten into me eyes, is all~

For someone who claims to have not done much of inking, this one is just downright pretty. I like how there are some variation of thickness on her fringe, and how it appears very smooth as well... if I didn't zoom in for a closer examination. Her eyelashes (or was it eyeliner...?) are what I find the most prettiest of details about Glacia, to be honest with you. It's strange, even for myself to consider, but mayhaps it's something to do with tiny details that I just can't get enough of!~ Excellent work here, my friend!~

As for the character Glacia herself: I like how she has a somewhat tanned (I think?) complexion that she has, combined with that snow-white hair of hers and those icy blues of her hairband, her top, her eyelids, and her irises. But overall, can I just say that I love her hair that you have given to her?~

Little-Ash-Hey In reply to Axe-Cell [2014-10-07 01:18:59 +0000 UTC]

Aww Axie, no need for waterworks I'm so thrilled you like it so much, I did put quite a lot of effort into this one after all C:

I can't make clean lines like many other artists do, but I guess that comes with time and practice I suppose. I've looked at several artists and how they ink their works, so that has helped to some extent as to how I wanted to go about doing this piece Her eyelashes you say? I guess often the smallest of details can make the biggest impact after all (: 

Yes, I tried to get as close to her colour as possible, but yes she is a tanned sort of colour To be honest I like her hair is as well. Don't suppose you remember her from one of my sketches earlier in the year?

Thank you for the kind complements and feedback my friend

Axe-Cell In reply to Little-Ash-Hey [2014-10-07 01:52:49 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry about that, my friend, but it just can't be helped at times. The effort always gets to me, especially when improvement is involved. c:

Haha, looking at my own traditional drawings, you're most definitely right. Then again, I heard that they use a certain kind of paper to prevent the ink from blotting the paper whenever we're holding it on the same spot. Or was it a kind of ink pen that they've used...?
What can I say? c; I like small details. Same goes to anyone else who just can't help themselves but to examine every little detail.

Ah, I see~ Of course I remember her from that sketch somewhere earlier this year~ :'D How can I forget her fabulous hair and the possibility of her being your new charrie?~

Anyways, you're most welcome as always, my friend~
