Is this the one? [link] I was definitely thinking a lot of Renaissance-era sketches when I did this, so I'm glad it made you think of that! Renaissance angels yummmm. :3

I figured you might. I'm so glad you like it, I really was pleased with how it came out even though I don't usually do this much rendering. It's been a while since I've drawn on any more "classical" influences, but I was just feeling in the mood that day.

I think those sorts of sketches were actually what I was thinking of when I decided on the head angle. I have such love for religious paintings, it's a bit ridiculous. So I'm glad you noticed the influence there, even if I wasn't consciously intending it.

Its one thing that I believe Zarael to be really great for, those sort of old school religious type of images. this in particular reminds me ALOT of Michelangelo's Pieta,the way the heads inclined.

I love them too

YESSS, that's part of why I like drawing him so much. (Plus, he works for all-purpose sexitude. Hell, he's good for everything. ) He and Farael are both really good for those, because even though Zarael looks far more like the "classic" concept of an angel, Fae applies much better personality-wise. He's the protector aspect rather than the accuser.

I LOVE the Michelangelo Pieta. Like, LOVE LOVE. I've been wanting to do something in that pose for the longest time, but I have to figure out what I want.

XD I giggled <3

Oh that would really be something to see in your style, shaded something like this? gawd. fabulous

As for the Accuser/Protector thing.. i don't know. Angles can be vicious little things sometimes, though i wish i could remember a particular instance to back up my claim @_@

Oh, absolutely, don't get me wrong. Angels are big balls of scary already, but Zarael definitely has more antipathy in him than most.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY I AM SO HAPPY

I don't even know what style this is so much as "mine but with more rendering". XD I had fun with the eyelids, even though they were probably the toughest part. It's really hard to do eyes like that without making whoever you're drawing look totally stoned or otherwise partially-conscious.

*wants to be sleeping off AWESOME ANGEL SEX, but of course he'd never deign to sully himself with my ilk...*

That tutorial really is good. I've never applied texture quite like that, although what I do tends to have a pretty similar outcome, I think.

temiel In reply to Isuna [2010-05-28 13:39:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! A lot of people are saying it's got something Renaissance-sketchy about it, which is AWESOME, because as I was drawing it I was thinking the same thing. That's pretty much the only reason I ended up going so into the rendering, I would've backed off if it hadn't already been making me think of that.

I suck at cross-hatching. It always looks so hard and contrived when I've attempted it, but this looks very natural and soft-- a nice quality on such a lovely face

Tool FTW! Clutch it like a cornerstone, baby.

Thank you! I don't know exactly what I was thinking of, but when I finished something about the head angle or the shading or something put me in mind of, like, Renaissance or Victorian paintings. I look at so much of that stuff, it's not a stretch to imagine I'd been thinking of it.

Baw, thanks.

For this one, I actually used =NadezhdaVasile 's tutorial for applying texture: [link] But normally I do it differently. It's VERY simple, though, no matter which way you do it. When I apply texture, I put the sketch on its own Multiply layer with the texture copy-pasted underneath, put a normal layer on top of the texture but under the sketch and do some messing around with a rounded brush and a light color on about half opacity, and then colorize the layer with the sketch on. Super, super simple, and whichever way you decide to do it, it'll give a nearly identical effect.

Photoshop, all the way. I know absolutely nothing about paint.net, so I won't be able to give you advice with that, but I hear that Paint Tool SAI can give you results like PS.

ONLY physically, thank goodness. Anything else would've been a bit of a disaster.

I'm glad you like it! It's been a while since I did any real pencil rendering, and when I was finished I thought to myself "hey, this kind of reminds me of Serena!" XD Sooo I went ahead and used your tutorial. I've been doing similar things for a little while now, but I haven't ever quite done it like that; the soft-light color layer is a good trick.
