Description Watercolor art I did for fun. (Though I really should be working on my concentrations. >.-.>;; )

Obviously, I was inspired once again by one of Amano's pieces, "Guin Saga", so I drew a watercolor art based on it. Click here

I know I ain't good at watercolors, but it's actually one of my most favorite mediums, so I love painting with them. I know you can see many errors on this (or at least I do), but I'm OK with it. I'm happy it didn't come out too bad.
Yeah, you can tell I changed up Nidhogg's twin swords a little, but not much. I don't really have a definate design of his swords anymore, I keep changing them too much to fit my satisfaction. But as usual, I'm an insatiable bastard.

Well, I hope you like!! There's more to come!! :3

Art and character © M. A. "Nidhogg" Guerra

Based on "Guin Saga" © Yoshitaka Amano

Damn man, you did a hell of a hood job with the watercoler. It is a pretty cool medium, and Nidhogg looks damn sexy with the pose and sword. Yeah the sword looks a lil different, I still thank it is great! Hope to see more of him, *Winks* Lots more.

The watercolours are pretty nice! A bit similar to markers in saturation, but they dont leave these awful lines as markers (MY markers DX) do!
Though, my eyes see minor anatomical issues on thy picture... the arms perspective is a bit disproportional. But such perspective is pretty hard to make so no wonder it can get a bit screwed at times...

It's very good. I love the work on the water colours and how he does look very alive... keep up the great work. I've been trying to find a way to use simplier linework because I find that using colour to get the effect of value or whatever is much better then using dark ink then what Patrick normally does.

I'm looking forward to recieveing those 2 commisions I bought from you a year and a bit ago when I go home on June 27th. Catch you later bro

So's... he's going to stab with the blade in the right hand ya?

Or is it a back turn slash?

I'm guessing one of those two, regardless, its a really amazing piece. I think your playing at being overy humble when you say your not good with watercolour!

ReptileCynrik [2007-04-09 18:03:47 +0000 UTC]

Well, the watercolours are surely very well done!! The simpler lineart is very pretty and your character is not "overloaded" with detail this time. The colours to the job about "how to make him appear alive"!! ^..^ And I can tell: this is by far one of the best NIDHOGG's ever!

Ragnarokdragon In reply to ReptileCynrik [2007-04-09 21:28:11 +0000 UTC]

Best Nidhogg ever??? o____O

Erm, thanks...I do agree this is one of the better drawings of Nidhogg. For once I actually drew his updated face simplistically, yet keeping all the details intact.

ReptileCynrik In reply to Ragnarokdragon [2007-04-10 08:02:28 +0000 UTC]

And you did well! ^..O Keep it up, this is a style which really fits to you. And it's nice!

Hm, really interesting, overall I think this looks pretty good. Great work on the posing and impressive work on the details and the colors, really nice watercolor work.

Ragnarokdragon In reply to hunterbahamut [2007-04-09 21:31:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, though this looks like another cliche comment from you. :/ I guess that means my art still isn't good enough to "wow" you. Gotta' work on that.

Loves to ya' anyways. xP <3

You'll have to forgive me for sounding like a record player, I was feeling a bit 'tapped out' since I had over 200 deviations to go through and comment on, heh.
And believe me when I say this Niddy, -all- of your art is good enough to "wow" me, you have no idea how jealous I am of your skill, heh.

Thats watercolour!?
That's amazing, I can barely make the colours go with my drawing when I do watercolour. Nice work!

lol, don't worry, I sucked with watercolors BIG TIME back in the beginning. Go to the back of my DA gallery and you'll see. XDD

So that means you have a chance.

I know, but I prefer acrylic over watercolour. It's much easier.

Ragnarokdragon In reply to DJ-Fragon [2007-04-09 21:59:04 +0000 UTC]

Heh, oils are easier than acrylics. XDD They blend muuuuch easier. X3 However, they take longer to dry. :< And they smell. Liek shit. 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Whether you think so or not is your choice, but Im just saying that I could seriously see this on the cover, or atleast in the official artwork of FF3 (5?) if you were in it.

and trust me, I dont just say these sort of things if I dont mean it.
