Description Two months in the making and it's finally done. I probably spent about one day on it but because I had so much stuff to do at Uni and work, I had to spread it over two months. Now I'm probably behind in my assignments.

But anyway, this is a remake of an artwork by the same name (I've thrown it into my scraps). I really liked that picture and thought I should make a clean version. I tried a different style for the hair......his turned out good, hers looks shit.

By the way, if you haven't seen the scrap, Rye's a half-demon, Preia's an elf and daughter of nobles. Hence "Forbidden" love.

Preia belongs to
Rye belongs to me, here's some stats.

Name: Rye Netherdrake

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Species: Neko-jin/Demon halfbreed

Looks: Rye was born with the common neko-jin traits: Slitted pupils, slgihtly pointed ears and retractable claws. He stands at 6' and his hair is jet black and falls over his blood, red eyes. He has tanned skin and has very small fangs that usually go unnoticed. His muscular build is hidden usually under pants and shirts.

Personality: Due to his lonely upbringing, Rye is very quiet and awkward around others. He is easily irrated and has an temper that awakens a fearsome power, no doubtedly inherited from his demon father. This side of him is rarely shown but knows no mercy. He hides a sad face behind a permanant frown. Being on edge and always fearing for his life, Rye is very perceptive and jumpy like a cat out of his territory.

Slight History: Rye's mother, Shirala, was violently raped by a demon, resulting in the birth of the neko-jin/demon outcast. Not having the courage to kill herself, she decided to carry the child and abandon it once it was born. Shirala wept and held Rye close to her chest when she noticed that he had the neko-jin traits, making her decision to abandon him more difficult. When Rye had grown hair, Shirala's heart broke as she noticed he did not have her colouring, but the dark hair and eye colour of his father. Once the villagers learned of the halfbreed, Shirala and her family were shunned and forced to live in exile on the outskirts of Gaia. Her husband, Jonah, left her to keep his carpentry business running but visited them every two months. When Rye was 15, Shirala passed away, leaving her first child, Lila, to fend for herself and Rye. Lila was 19 at the time and felt forced to marry her long-term boyfriend for support. Her then 28 year old husband, Raelin, was a warrior of the Gaian army and taught Rye the art of fighting. He was forced to retire two years later after he lost an eye.

Family: Stepfather - Jonah, a carpenter. Mother - Shirala, deceased. Half sister - Lila, a housewife. Brother in Law - Raelin, retired warrior.

Status: Exiled.

Elements: Lightening and fire.

Pairing: Preia

Weapons of Choice: Valermos, a broad sword and demon blade accidently left by Rye's biological father. The hilt and scabbard are black with silver engavings.

Yeee thank you!
That's a very good question, it was so long ago I don't quite remember.

Ooooh yes, they both have heartstones (they're pretty much chosen ones hehe), and these special stones lead them to each other. And so the adventure and love begins hehe

They sure do! I have a folder dedicated to them in my gallery called "Three Nations" if you're interested.

I actually love RPing, but I just can't find the time to regularly post. I'm well behind in the Three Nations RP

YAY!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!! AHHHH WOO YAYAAAAAAAY!!!!

Who gives a damn about school work This stuff is WAY awesome.... dammmmn.... *jealousy +*



I actually really love the style on the girl/elf's hair. I think it looks really wicked... Maybe it doesn't quite fit with the rest of the work (you almost feel like it needs an outline or something at the back/left of picture) but it still looks really rad. Excellent colour choice.

As for the guy .. hm! I'm undecided. I really like how you've done him.. But his hair seems to be upsetting the balance of the picture. It just seems to heavy. Maybe if you reframed the picture to chuck more empty space above his head.. or did something dark down the bottom to pull the eyes down... (and I just wrote "arms" instead of eyes O_o) .. but yeah.. maybe a dark tail or something weird like that?

I dunno... It could also just be that when you're viewing in devart you can't help but see the top of the image first since that's the way it loads.. but yeah, I'm not sure....

It's still a totally rad piece of work, though. Your technique is just getting better and better!! How did you get your linework so neat ??? and the ends of the lines are so pretty!! Did you smudge them off??? Or what? I'm so un-knowing... =____=

Oh, and also how you work with your lightsource... Gaaa.. I totally suck at lighting... Ugh. I'm thinking of starting a new "overexposed" style where I don't have to worry about tone at all ....

Anyways, keep up the mad art... please pretty please!! I know you're busy with school and work (and I should be too... .. ..) however make sure you're doing some of the stuff that you love, too Your art is so gorgeous, and you're only improving

and psssst! I faved this since I wuv it so much

midknightBLU In reply to nightash [2006-05-17 06:49:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks dollface, its always a joy to hear your comments, I'm always looking to improve myself

I use the pen tool for the lineart....(don't forget your the one who taught me how to do that, thank you so much *tear*)...and then i just erased the edges at the ends to make them pointy. It's no big secret

And I'm sure your not as bad as you say you are with the whole light source thingo, I know you're good, you can't fool me

I would really love to continue my creations but it won't be happening anytime soon Soooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrryyy!!

Lol, nar man your work was a thousand times better then mine, I hadn't even heard of Photoshop. I REMEMBER, your work being really cool and me saying "what aboout what I cooked up," and it was really crap but you said it was good anyway.

I don't even know what the hell I'm tryin to say....
I think I'm trying to say that I believe you now when you say my work is good, because I am proud of myself but I also know I have a ways to go. But I didn't believe you back then

me0k In reply to midknightBLU [2006-05-15 03:21:26 +0000 UTC]

so the only reason you beleive me now is because you have more confidence in your work these days?
i wouldnt say your work is good if it wasnt, id either avoid the question or give the critism
in terms of anime you were drawin the full body n stuff, i appreciated that man
i could only draw a face... FRONT VIEW ONLY
you could do the whole 3/4 look, all perfect preportion
i was like woah
the clothing and body preportions was drawn accurate, were as i would draw a massive head on a midget body
and no i wasnt trying to draw that chibi style, and it wasnt cute haha
if i said nice work i meant it you retard

i even asked for you to draw me a picture (which im still waitinmg for lmao)
after seeing that amazing colouring with penicls in your studio art workbook
