Uhm, I'm getting so many ideas for drawings lately, so I'm just trying to release them while the image is still in my mind. I don't recall what spurred this one, but hey, I'll take any excuse to draw Nari! (and Lara in the background)

They be fighting Folang. Nasty creatures... The full moon makes their eyes glow with fire <_<



As a little experiment, I'd like to propose some questions for you to answer in your comments. You don't have to answer all or any of them. I just want to see what happens:

- What is your favourite part of the image? Why?
- What do you think is going on?
- What do you think the hardest part of the drawing was?
- What part do you think took the longest time?



Thanks for viewing :3

(BEAUTIFUL!)
to answer to your funny questions,
1- I really like Nari, The background Folang and the moon with the clouds because they are clear, greatly done and just, wonderful!

2- mm.. Nari and Lara got lost in this stange forest and have been attacked by those creatures 'cause they are territorials. :S (??)

3- The creature's face that is the closer... Or Nari's shirts

4- To make all those branches!!

What is your favourite part of the image? Why?
My favorite part would have to be Nari himself, because of his wicked pose and the fierce look upon his face.

What do you think is going on? I believe Nari and Lara were out in the woods getting it on when they were suddenly interrupted. Nari, clearly enjoying himself, was extremely upset by the appearance of the Folang and vaulted upon them... to the death.

What do you think the hardest part of the drawing was? The hardest part to me looks like the trees in the background, that and the Folang's body. That and maybe you told me before...? I cannot recall. This is what I get for waiting so long to comment (but I totally feel like doing it today so sorry for the spam).

What part do you think took the longest time? Hmm.. the inking? Uh. I dunno. THE FOLANG?! Up close. one.

- What is your favourite part of the image? Why?
Lara in the background. Her stunned, frightened expression really resonates.

- What do you think is going on?
My first impression was that Nari and Lara had been watching the moon together, and were ambushed by the Folang. Nari jumped up to show off and fight them away.

- What do you think the hardest part of the drawing was?
The lighting. Getting all those dim shadows and subtle highlights... Yikes.

- What part do you think took the longest time?
Mm... All those crazy branches, eheh!

Great work!!

KalaKannaBayu [2008-02-27 13:20:48 +0000 UTC]

I WILL ANSWER THEM ALL!!!
*tooexcited*

- What is your favourite part of the image? Why?
Umm...Nari? 'Cause he's cute?
Hehe. Actually, it's the angle of the picture. Most of the image I see from you is angled from the front or the front, if not picturing a silent or calm situation. This one portrays a much more active and rushing situation, with an unusual angle, but pretty good.
Although, I think it would be much more action-ish if you added many rush lines, like the ones on a fast moving object in cartoons. Of course, not the cartoon-type lines.

- What do you think is going on?
Nari was enraged at something, probably a big, problem about him and/or his background, and Lara was comforting him. She said, "You know, you shouldn't let it bother you at all. It's not really an important thing or something that's gonna risk your life if you don't think about it hard enough." But Nari was so pissed off he didn't listen at all. Lara almost gave up talking him out of it, when she saw a clearing near a forest. She walked him there and they sit down and talked about it. Nari still couldn't release it. Lara suggested that if he really couldn't do it by talking, he should really vent it out by doing something, because it's really not healthy keeping a high temper. She was about to suggest some sport (I couldn't really pick anything) when those creatures appeared! (Soo sorry, I don't know what they're called. I'm sorry!) She was about to tell Nari to just back away when he found his anger ventilation. And so, he charged into the enemy with Lara gasping because she thought he wasn't really listening...


- What do you think the hardest part of the drawing was?
Between calculating where the light from the moon should hit so that it doesn't look weird or ill-looking and adding those details for the trees, I think.

- What part do you think took the longest time?
Probably the trees, I guess.

Okay! That's it.
Would you tell people the real answers? Or would you just let people guess it out of their mind? (^

Hehe, you sure like to talk It's interesting. Your little story behind it is even more interesting. There was no set story behind it, so there's no right answer for that.

The big Folang on the right was the hardest part. I redrew him lots of times. The other parts were hard, but that was hardest

KalaKannaBayu In reply to treijim [2008-03-09 17:41:48 +0000 UTC]

really? Thanks! I actually prefer writing. I can't talk well, especially in english as my second language to someone who their mother language is english.

most people's mindset is that the hardest part of a picture is the detail. Your answer shatters them.
includes me. I guess you got a detail-easy hands then!

give more challenges about mini stories! I like it, and I think people would like it more because then they could make the picture more likable to them because they have their own legal interpretation of it!

Lumenox [2008-02-26 17:22:39 +0000 UTC]

haha a little quizz, good idea:
-nari's face! because I like this expression, dunno that's the feeling of the pic, it immediately attracted me at the first glance >>" and every one know he is one of the cutest (but the best is evan ) but it's not the subject.
-Lara was lost in a dark forest, and Folangs appeared!! And... tadaaaa!!! the hero came to protect her I know it's not original but it'ld be nice of nari to protect those he like/love anyway
-if it was a pic of mine (impossible of course) I think I would have lot of pain drawings all theses trees and branches... but since you are very perfectionist maybe it was the anatomy? oh tell me what was the hardest part for you plz!!
-Maybe the nari's expression? or the fur? I don't think it's the light nor the fire-looking eyes because you are experienced enough to get these quickly. I guess the perspective wasn't too long for you to get ^^

so... what is troublesome for an artist like you?

By the way, I won't fav it (lol) because I abused a lot, and because it's too dark for me I rather like shiny pic X'D
oh lara looks like an afraid puppy >>"

treijim In reply to Lumenox [2008-03-03 21:40:35 +0000 UTC]

The trees were easy. They're mostly random lines :3 The anatomy and angle was indeed tougher. The big Folang on the right was hardest. I redrew him about six times and ended up digitally editing him to look right anyway XD

Trying to get everything right is troublesome~

And it's okay, you don't have to fave it. I'm not offended

Lumenox In reply to treijim [2008-03-05 19:30:31 +0000 UTC]

Drawing randomly is sometimes our best friend ... >>"
I may have guessed the big folang on the right was troublesome since the weird angle >_<'

Oh don't worry, I don't think you have to make every details perfect to make a whole pic looking perfect!

Pwizemptine [2008-02-26 16:34:25 +0000 UTC]

- What is your favourite part of the image? Why?

My favorite part is the lack of color that emphasizes the eyes! xD

- What do you think is going on?

Well, the guy in the middle don't look happy, so I'm thinking these Folang guys are attacking, and he has to protect the woman behind him.

- What do you think the hardest part of the drawing was?

I don't know if it was for you, but I think that if I were drawing it, it'd be the angle that the viewer is looking from. I'm attempting a picture in which there is a circle of people, but I'm looking at them from a perspective not unlike this one, and it's pretty tough.

- What part do you think took the longest time?

I want to say the trees in the background, but I'm tempted to guess at all of the characters' details (such as the clothing, and the closest Folang's bracelet).

Btw, great job! Your second best, imho! X]

The lighting is also very well done of the highlighting on his body.
