Description "Not all the Scars are visible nor all of them dissapear within the flow of Time, but they certainly prove we have fought for something that is far Beyond Oblivion"

Awww <3333 this is the first OC from my novel ^^ . Her name is Meridies and her story will be known in the second book from Beyond Oblivion series

This is also my entry for =deathofrats contest!

Im not fully satisfied with it... I wanted a mature character and this turned to childish... I need to PRACTISE MORE!!! >.< I want mature characters... But I guess that this isn’t so bad for a first try ^^

Meridies / Beyond Oblivion - Me!

You have wonderful talent my dear

I think you need to take your drawing more professionally, Something like this is too great to be ignored.

I love this one, Syl. Seriously. This is awesome. Your coloring and anatomies have improved a lot from what I see in your art. this is so sad, yet so sweet. Very beautiful. though if you want some critique, I have to say that the rock behind Meredies doesn't seem very real to me. but overall. this is amazing. I love the background. Her dress is awesome. Her expression conveyed it all. Her hair is beautiful. I love her already. :3 keep up the amazing job, mii daughter! and sorry again for the late comment. :3

thank you Erni! <3333

umm about that rock hehehe... I have to practise rock painting, so you can destroy me without merci for that horrible painting *runs away*

And about Meridies, yep, she is sweet yet sad and very quiet. I hope to upload some story previews before publishing my novel ^^

hmmm [first impresion]

Your work has greatly improved since early works. You have clearly reached a new level in your skills. Gratz 'bout that.

Your technique in hair and wings painting is truly beautiful. The design of the female character is ok too: she's cute and balanced. Nice hands, face, legs, boobs, arms, etc.

It is very nice too, what you did on top left corner. Clever. Clouds... love'em.

Yet there are a couple of things you can still improve in diz. As you told me before, i thought it was gonna be a darker place so she was "shinning in the dark". I'd suggest you if you pretend to leave her as she is, to darken a little bit the enviroment. The second point is, the place where she stands. Should you make it a little more elaborated so it combines perfectly among the other elements in the drawing.

Finally,

La Vita Fugge

La vita fugge et non s'arresta una hora,
et la morte vien dietro a gran giornate,
et le cose presenti, et le passate
mi danno guerra, et le future anchora;
e 'l rimembrare et l'aspettar m'accora
or quinci or quindi, si che 'n veritate,
se non ch'i' ho di me stesso pietate,
i' sarei gia di questi pensier' fora.
Tornami avanti s'alcun dolce mai
ebbe 'l cor tristo; et poi da l'altra parte
veggio al mio navigar turbati i venti;
veggio fortuna in porto, et stanco omai
il mio nocchier, et rotte arbore et sarte,
e i lumi bei, che mirar soglio, spenti.
[F. Petrarca - Sonetto CCLXXII]

(space mutant kiss for ya)

Im so glad that you noticed some tiny details that would help me to improve in future works! Domo arigato!!!

'kay let's see...

I must be honest I changed the dark concept (the sunset behind it's more dramatic because she will be tied to it in the whole book. Also it can be interpreted as a Dawn -'cause of the sky colors they are almost the same at those times of day- this also helps too, because she will be tied to dawn too. You'll see when you read my book as beta tester ^^

Sooooo it's up to you what you want to believe~

About that ugly rock, I can't say anything destroy me =.=. I'll try to practice rock painting

Thanks for your help, thanks for your macbook, your words and the most important thing
be my friend and take care of me when I was sick

Love ya dear! ^3^

Wowowow the colour selection is stunning dear! 8O
Although she does look youthful, her expression looks sort of pained and wise, which does make her appear more mature? (and knowledgeable:> )
I love her whole ensemble and the expansive bg

<33333333333 thank you dear!!!
You are right, her expression makes her seem more mature, maybe I should keep those sad eyes on her. And also a quiet personality could help ^^

Im so glad you like it!

It is definitely a suitable expression.

So... it's a sad story...

I'll have to be in a sad mood when the time comes -I mean, when I write about her on my novel -

>: Man, it seems like writers always cherish their characters so, and it really is a pain when the OCs are subjected to painful experiences or are written off;v; But I guess that is also a part of writing.*A*
Hope to see your story one day

Rakiura In reply to koyamori [2009-05-14 02:01:21 +0000 UTC]

yeah it's part of the job... >: but it's really difficult to write an emotion you have never felt before and MORE DIFFICULT to write a sad story for a character that is like one of your cute daughters D':

Anyways, I'll traduce some chapters or some chapters previews and upload them to DA this year ^^ I don't know if I should submit them in literature or in an artwork description

koyamori In reply to Rakiura [2009-05-14 19:34:17 +0000 UTC]

Haha, DA categories confuse me as well:'D
Guess they must be literature? Since they are complete chapters:3
