Description Nestly: ROAR.

It's funny how I've roleplayed Quo for like, over a year and never drew her. Jeeze. I'm a slacker.

So this be Quo. Stubborn, Anger Management fledgling of Ephidell. 8D She has some aggression problems; most of them concerned with killing Ephidell or taking his blood. Yar.

Lot of experimenting here.
I've been doing eyes differently like this for a while now, but most of it being on paper. I'll probably be doing them like this for now on.
I like doing clouds. ¦D
And I had a fit with the flames. They're a little inconsistent since I was trying new things with each bunch. Fire is hard. Dx

Well, I worked my rump off on this, but if you have any advice or suggestions on improving anything, please, go for it. ;3 I'm all ears.

And if anyone's wondering what Quo is, she was originally based off an Angelic Darkonite. XD [link]

Oh. My. GOD. I don't really know where to begin with this picture! I guess I'll have to start with around the eyes and face, since that's where my attention gets pulled first. I LOVE how the light pulls you to that spot and pushes you down. Maybe it's just me but when I relax and let my attention wander, it travels down without ever quite meeting the eyes. Then the background KILLS anything I could do. *worships*

If I get to where I can do a background like that, it'll be a miracle and I'll have you to thank for it

verallien [2007-11-20 21:07:02 +0000 UTC]

Whoa! So... cool...! O:

First of all, praise for the background! The flames are AMAZING. And the clouds, with the moon in the back are really well done~! It really sets the atmosphere for the picture. <33

As for Quo, I like her pose. Kind of like she's ready to leap at'cha any second. And that glowy glare... Really cool. Really dramatic. I didn't know Phashu eyes can glow different colors than red. Blue looks awesome. o3o I also love her hair. It's all... swooshy and shiny. 8D

The only thing a bit odd is the light source. The fire and moon are behind Quo, while she's highlighted from a source from the top left side.

Other than that, the picture is genius. <3 It's clearly visible you put a lot of effort into it. Keep up the great work!

Nestly: Nraaaaawr, thanks Vera buddy. <3
Yeah I... didn't really know they could glow any other color then red either but... xD Whatever, it looked cool here. Quo iz an expert.

Ohhh, yeah the light source is extremely screwy, heheh. <8D But like... there are flames all around her, in front of her as well, but you can't exactly see those obviously. *confused herself with it*

Thanks so much! ;3;

Nestly In reply to llamaer [2007-11-14 17:00:29 +0000 UTC]

Nestly: Ahhhh, I use fledgling for a lack of a better word. It just means she's a creation of Ephidell. (He turned her into a Phashu)

Oh. It's that you just kind of use suggestive words.

I liked this pic for so many reasons the fire is pretty cool. (Somehow brings be back to that one episode of inuyasha.) Quo Is really pretty and what caught my attention was her eyes. They're pretty cool blue and I like how you made em glow. I accually like how you draw your style of eyes now. >:3 *tries to flick her hair to see her other eye* And the cracked horns are a cool characteristic too. Makes me wonder. I repeat THE CLOUDS PWN. they can tell me that you've been workin on them for a while.
FAV 8D

I actually have no idea how her horns got cracked. 8D Hah.

That eye is so mezmorising! @o@

And oh-jeeze, that background's amazing!
especially that fire!

It doesn't really seem inconsistant, and I'd say you did a really nice job on it

I also really like her character design
And the glow on the eyes really draws you in x)

frozen-lightning [2007-11-10 15:45:33 +0000 UTC]

Very cool. The flames are actually very nice; my method is much simpler. I just put a bunch of fiery colors together and smudge 'em. Eh, works okay for me.

Anyways, nice character. I think a fiery glow would have blended her better with the flames behind her. But good pic, overall. Splendid hair. =3

Yeah, I know, but I can't think of a better way to do them. x3

They're like, in the background, at least it seems so. Even if they were right next to her, a fiery glow off her skin might make her seem a bit more in-the-picture.

my god this is fantastic, wow... just... freaking detailed and well... awesome dude i'll have to roleplay with you sometime i think X3
The background is soooo nice like that, the way you do clouds and flames is so great
um... um... don't kill me... but from that angle it kinda looks like she has no neck... and and her left arm goes out at an odd angle... and the right just seems a little too short ;-; if you didn't want crits ignore this, but either way i think you did a fantasticly fantastic job at this!

Hahah, yes. XD I don't think I know any of your characters. 8D You needa introduce me.

I'M NOT GONNA KILL YOU. xD Relax. I asked for tips in the description silly. x3
No neck though? Well at that angle... yeah. 8D It would look like that looking down. Right?
Well yeah, the left arm I agree.. from everyone else point, I guess it doesn't look right.
It's not bad to give crits, I just have a nit-picky thing that, if someone tells me something is off.. well, that's great, but it doesn't help me unless they explain how to fix it. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I-have-a-soul-too In reply to Nestly [2007-11-13 05:15:55 +0000 UTC]

nooo problems

I know, but you worked so hard on this and i didn't want to pull it down, but yeah, i'm not sure what else to suggest for the neck though, even after considering that it just doesn't seem right... and i know what you mean when you said people just say 'that sux u suk lol' without explaining it.

ticticai [2007-11-10 03:24:32 +0000 UTC]

You finished, you fiiiiniiiished 8DD *proud.* I'm glad this one didn't die like the OTHER one. But you already knew that.
WTF HOLY CRAP WHERE DID THAT DETAILED-ASS BACKGROUND COME FROM?! DB *first thing she noticed* God you got good at fire, even if it is just practice fire. :3 You're so good at backgrounds it makes me jealous, especially since I'm in that stupid huge art slump right now and can't do ANYTHING. It's making me all depressed and frustrated. You could say it really...burns me up? ;D
*reminded of that scene from AMV Hell 3* Fire in the disco! 8D
Or should I say...'Dis QUO. *shoots herself in the face*

Anyway.
You fixed the arm, it looks a lot better. It still looks a little off, but perspective is a bitch and you should know that by now ;D I still think you should have shortened her eye, even though it's a little harder to see since the part behind the hair is faded, its still way too long. Just because the eye is narrower doesn't mean it has to be twice as long 8D I do like the way you colored it a lot, though.

The only thing that really irks me is the hair. Like...it's interesting the way she wears it in all those little clumps, but they don't look like they're moving with her. Instead they're just sort of...stiff and sticking out randomly. Do you see what I mean?
I think that's all tho--...oh...OH I SEE TEXTURE ON THAT BUILDING, GAAAAAAHHH D:<<<

Seriously though, that background kicks ass. Keep up the good work buddy boy <33
