Description First task for [link]
Region Passport:

This is Uisce upon emerging from his genstone, venturing outside the cave to explore the new world he's just been born into, still holding a glowing stone and gazing in wonder at the evening sky giving way to thousands of stars, each like another glowing genstone in the sky. :3

Not-So-Fun Facts: Uisce doesn't have his Ducky here as he hasn't invented it yet. I'm gonna incorporate that somehow into the rest of the region stories. In fairness, nobody is born wearing a ducky ring. XD

Development rubbish: The sky is quite obviously influenced by *aeonpants 's style. Hoping to eventually develop my own variation but for now it's just meant to compliment the rest of the style.

Yes I know the mountain sucks and is made of perspective-fail, but I love the rest of it so I dunnae care for now. I'll practise. I also know his feet suck and have three and two toes respectively where they should have four each. Webbed feet are evil, therefore I call artistic licence on that one. XD

I decided to give it a funny outline shape as it's not a full task, just a special one. Sort of an 'intro' feel. The outline is the shape of Uisce's genstone. :3 The fact that I have to tell you this renders any artistic genius therein, utterly unsuccessful.

great pic. I love how you have incorporated aeon's style too. As for the feet: Uisce is in motion, so there is no telling which way his webbed feet are flapping. It looks great. Good job!

Thanks! Like I say, I hope to branch off from Aeon's style in time but I'm new to vector-y backgrounds so I need a starting point and he was happy enough for me to borrow the sky!

Really glad Uisce looks like he's in motion and not just striking an odd pose, too haha. Guess years of pointlessly drawing lions did actually teach me something!

Cheers! I'm happy with how surprisingly easy is actually is to draw! Mental note, draw roundy two-legged creatures in future, it's much easier than drawing flipping lions! XD

yeah my creature is soo much easier, than drawing lions! I cannot and most probably will never be able to draw lion anatomy properly

Haha aww I love him, hes so cute! I really gotta stop saying that xD Making it the shape of his Genstone is such a good idea Kyo's is so generic and boring xD!

Nollaig In reply to XxRavenUchihaxX [2012-03-01 15:55:07 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks! He's basically a little blue dinosaur with duck feet, what's not to love lmao! And I'm not sure are you referring to Kyo's genstone or the shape of his picture, but there's nothing wrong with either XD

XxRavenUchihaxX In reply to Nollaig [2012-03-01 18:10:13 +0000 UTC]

LOL yeah, how much cuter can you get?

I meant that making the shape of the picture as Uisce's Genstone is a very creative idea, and that Kyo's Genstone design is very generic (it's just some pentagon shaped rock xD) Sorries for being unclear xD!

Nollaig In reply to XxRavenUchihaxX [2012-03-01 19:21:47 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh no worries! I took the general shape of his genstone from one of the roundy ones in one of Aeon's illustrations, in the 'getting started' section, so I'm not really all that inventive either XD I was originally gonna do a more diamond shaped one, but then decided I wanted the picture to have a bubbly outline, therefore Uisce got a bubbly genstone!

xD Well that's awesome, and it fits with him being a water creature anyways

Perhaps he is not yet fully grown shaped, so he is missing some toes yet?
