Description Edit 21/11/11: Finally updating this again before I'm off to school! And with quite a few changes. I fixed her anatomy, taking a break from this did me good and I could look at it with new eyes... I just hope my eyes aren't fooling me
I started shading a while ago, and whoops, it looks like I've almost completed it. Still details which need shading and her headshot is to be coloured. As soon as I've added information I suppose this thing till be done!
If there is anything left to improve otherwise, please tell me.
End edit 21/11/11

Edit 10/11/11(again) : Once again, updating with a few small changes seeing as I have to do my homework now, I have a presentation tomorrow after all, so I won't be changing any more today :I
Once again I have changed a few things according to *TessaAnka 's critique [I'm sorry I didn't reply to your comment but I was just so eager to use it ;0;] fixing the hip and stomach area. I think her upper body may still be a bit short...? I'm not sure. Jeez, I really need to go to a figure drawing class...

On a random note I don't know if I should go to choir tonight or not.
1. I need to pay 150 kr for this year since I don't play an instrument, and I know it's worth it, but I'm just not in the mood to toss around money seeing the sum on my card.
2. I have a shitbunch of homework. A presentation, like I said.

Okay, now I'm done xD

End edit.

Edit 10/11/11: Okay, updated as I promised!

Better anatomy based on *TessaAnka 's comment. I had to change quite a few things though, altering the pose and especially her arm. It's a difficult position to draw, but in the end I added the bloody deco on her hand to make it look less random, being in that position

I still feel like there are a few things off with the pose. Or at least I want to think so, but I can't put my finger on it. Do you have a suggestion, or is it fine?

Also keeping the headshot there. So basically, this is the nearly finished product. I'm gonna shade, clean up the headshot [it's basically to show the details on her the scarf tied to her head], and then spiff it all up to it resembles a biography!
I'll keep on updating this version, and then I'll upload the different stages to my scraps

End edit 10/11/11

A concept art for a possible upcoming contest on tumblr, where you can make a troll character for an ongoing homestuck fic, hoping that they can make it in as a background char
I've really wanted to show off my idea in any case of my Fantroll Ikium, 9-10 sweeps old or something in that way. Considering the society in the fic, I see her as a form of willing outcast. An indigo blood who has chosen to live outside the big, strict society [ most likely out in a woods in some form of cave which vaguely resembles a hive ], and offering her treatments and future sights in return of food and money. Because of the whole "fortune-teller" thing I gave her a kinda gypsy look.

But like I said; Very, very rough I will be updating though! Either with a new upload or I'll update this

Ikium is mine

Yeah, she's still to short. It's just like you said, her torso is a bit to short, you need to make it about a cm longer, meaning you need to lover her hips and pelvis area about a cm downwards. The finishing touches are all lovely but I'm afraid they won't show their full potential until you've lowered her hip/pelvis. Sorry for being such a nag, it's just so much fun seeing your progress

Thank you so much for the tips, I hope I can get her all right this time... Just a little bit more! Though I think I'll take a break from her for now... She's becoming frustrating XD

Guurl, this necklace is just so pretty ;u; *totally loves long necklaces*

Ponsii In reply to Alice-Heartless [2011-11-10 18:49:24 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thanks man!
Hehehe, this is actually a more 'fun' outfit for her since this age takes place in a more developed troll society... @w@ her normal outfit is pretty boring. Just like all the other trolls'

I looooove the necklaces!! I can't standing wearing long necklaces myself but they are so much fun to draw @_@ <3

Skolans internet blockade mig från att se denna, that makes me soooo pissed >:C

Posen är magisk, shit kvinna! Well done och modigt gjort! Det där benet är väldigt vackert, dock kanske vaden är lite tjock... Eller så är det bara jag.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Ponsii In reply to callMeHB [2011-11-10 15:55:38 +0000 UTC]

Fy, skola, fy! D:<

Men gud tack! Den är ganska utmanande faktiskt, eftersom överkroppen är något vriden men inte benen. Och jag tror snarare att vaden är väldigt tjock för min stil, eftersom jag fortfarande ritar benrangel xD
Nu har jag ju uppdaterat den (som du nog såg) och nu väntar jag på respons på längden och överkroppen/midjan... Jag kommer inte våga börja skugga annars XD

You fixed her arm beautifully, good work Hannah! And her foot, it's really handsome. I swear it, you get better and better by the second The waist is, however, still a bit short. What I mean is that her hip seems to start at her navel as it is now. You've drawn a line going down from her chest, past her hipbone, on the left side of her torso. See that line? Her hip should start at the end of that line. If you were to fix that she wouldn't seem so muched, she'd appear taller, more slender and elegant. She really is beautiful though and you've done a wonderful job with it!

TessaAnka had a lot of good points, and that hand is so prettyffff *A* THAT OUTFIT. I know very little about Homestuck but she seems loads different from the primary trolls, which is a major selling point in my opinion~! >u<

You have mashed her a bit, messing up her anatomy quite a bit. Try and make her midriff longer and give her a more prominent hip and she'd be fantastic. Also make the legs slightly longer and give the left one a bit more shape, it looks a bit like a log right now, and that's not very attractive. The lover part of her foot should also be longer, giving her some weight, making sure the viewer can see that she's standing on the ground and not in mid-air. Now that I look at her, her upper arm is also a bit short, make it longer and adjust the angle slightly and it will be a very doable pose. For a quick sketch it's very good, especially the hand, and I'm sure the end result will be stunning

Ponsii In reply to TessaAnka [2011-11-09 07:02:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh I know her anatomy is really just "no" right here, and all these pointers are perfect. I'll be seeing to them as soon as I have the time This was gonna be redrawn in any case
But thank you so much for all these tips, Tess!

Your better at it then I am then, I'm pretty sure I'd get offended. That's usually my reaction to criticism online I can handle it better face to face butt online it's just... more strict and cold, ya know?

((oops, purrhaps i shouldn't have said anything.
... because yes it is.
there, there, i'm sure you'll think of some reason to k33p it the way it is. her purrsonality is a great setup for it, at least - you know, the whole living-in-the-woods-even-though-she's-a-blue-blood thing.
you could just jiouse-ify it and double one of the vowels.
just make sure her last name has six letters. ))

[I-I am kinda..... thinking of it... Since Ikium's full name is "Ikium Monilce". 5 letters for first name, 7 for last O-Oh god I'll just use that excuse... I am really happy with her name so yeah... And she's my first troll, so I will actually say that I am excused, for this time ;; //tear//]
