Description This is my OC, Freyja. And yes, this OC is a girl (somehow she's often mistaken as a guy by my friends....)
I've been wanting to draw something autumn-themed for a while and I figure I should finish it before autumn ends. I tried to use backlit effect on this one--tried being the keyword here. Still not exactly satisfied with the result but... well....
Anyway, if you have any critics or opinion on Freyja or this drawing, please don't hesitate to tell me!


Tools: SAI (for painting). Photoshop CS6 (for blurring & color adjustment)

Nice job with the backlight on the hair.

Interesting effect with the glow around her forehead and nose... makes it look like she is glowing from deep inside.  Now THAT would be an interesting characteristic!

Nicely done!

Thank you very much! I am glad you like it.
Ah, actually, the story I plan for her revolves around how people should see that they have their own special glow inside, one which is unique for each of them.

Ah, I figured that glow was no accident.    Beautiful work, for a very interesting sounding character!

TheKucing In reply to Observer14 [2015-11-15 20:17:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Well, that, and I actually like that kind of effect since it makes the picture looks weird and not exactly semirealistic (in my opinion anyway). X'D
Thank you!

Hmmm, wishing I could afford your commission prices, but they are so pricey!!!

TheKucing In reply to Snowflower--Chan00 [2015-11-13 05:19:52 +0000 UTC]

Ahaha... It's okay. I decide on that price because it took me around 26 hours in total to render a painting like this one.

Well it's beautiful. Crap, I just asked you for a headshot sample, and that's what it is. XD. Sorry. 

Hey do you like this show too?

Nah, it's okay. XD

Oh, wow. No, I don't. They rarely even air the simpsons here in Indonesia (unless one pays for cable TV, then that's another story). Is this a new series? It looks cool.

In the U.S. it airs on adult swim, and yup its a fairly new show. 

It's randomness is so out there, it's funny. 

I am planning on writing a few rough drafts for my novel, so please watch me. 

I will post them on here, XD. But later.

Oh, you write stories? That's awesome! If I my ask, what you'd write next?

Snowflower--Chan00 In reply to TheKucing [2015-11-24 20:15:49 +0000 UTC]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, good question. 

I'm trying to be original, and stay away from fanfics. I am wanting to write an original story. 

So far I have some ideas about rough drafts, but no idea how to start it. Should I introduce the main heroine? 

Or introduce other characters first? J.K Rowling did it, but IDK. It is mind boggling at this point. 

I may still write fanfics, but I won't expect them to be published, and that would help me in both writing and creativity. 

When I have time, and IF I do during this Thanksgiving Break, I will come up with something and post it on here. XD.

Well... I don't know if this will help, but I once read that it's best to make the reader as immersed in your story's world as possible and gain just as much experience. So it's probably best to start with character that could lead the reader to get more information of what is currently happening in the story. Just like the way Harry Potter started with the Dursleys and then Dumbledore because at that time Harry was just a baby--if the reader were lead to experience things/the story through the baby's thoughts, they wouldn't get much information. I hope it helps.... I'm no good with lengthy explanation in English... orz

Hmm, maybe I should introduce some characters first besides introducing Elena, and then introduce her at the last minute and the stick with her.

Have some characters target to going to Starlight City, which is where Elena lives, and then open with her??? Crap, I don't want my ideas to sound confusing!!!!

I hope the transition between characters will be awesome and less confusing. I have it all in my head up here, been dwelling on some scenes.

She reminds me of the woman playing the Guardian from the Librarians series, Baird. That grin. Cool piece though.

Is that a game? Or a movie? This is my first time hearing it but the title is interesting (I love books and libraries).

GlyphBellchime In reply to TheKucing [2015-11-13 14:55:18 +0000 UTC]

Actually, it's a TV series that's currently running on TNT. But it's based on series of movies. Just type it in on tumblr, facebook, or TV tropes. They'll have more information about it.
Basically, the premise is that those old legends and myths that people have shared over the years are true, and to keep the balance of power from tilting too far into danger, a group of very smart (Though not all of them ethical.) deal with these dangers. They're the Librarians. The leader is motormouth guy, who is often gone than not lately, the Baird Character, who's more of the action, being the Guardian. Then John Laroquette is the cranky assistant.Then there's the younger team, an art savant who's a fighter, a girl who's a basically a walking computer, and the third guy, who makes thievery look like just a stroll in the park.
So that's the start. They're on Season 2 now, so I tried really not to give any spoilers.

Wow, sounds really interesting. Do they got myths from all over the world mixed in the story, too? 'Cause that would be interesting.
