Description Bahamut Lagoon fanart!

I've been sick since Friday but I've been drawing heaps, and upon stumbling unto some awesome Japanese fanart of the old SNES game Bahamut Lagoon, I was inspired to do a quick one of my own ^_^

On the left is Byuu and on the right is Rush. They're two of my favourite characters from the game.

Coloured with a mouse on Paint Shop Pro. About 6 or 7 hours.

Ahh yes, practice makes perfect as the saying goes xD I guess I should probably get using it more. Thanks for the encouraging words

D'aw, this picture is so bright and happy and cute. I love the warmth in here, both in their emotions and in the colours.
I like the fading rainclouds in the background, they give the picture more depth than if it were just bright =3

I also like the birdy, tis so cute.

On second thoughts, that doesn't look like a bird...

The bloom effect style of highlighting always looks cool. Nice work with the shadows as well.

I always like your armour rendering style, and the dragon in the sky is a nice touch. Nice one!

Awesome as always I really like the texture on the rocks to the left. I also think you've done the material (fabric) really well (especially the area of the belt buckles... looks great). Awesome hair and characters as well. The lighting is a bit bright for my personal tastes... but it definitely jives with the piece.

Hehe thanks. The rocks are done using a new brush of mine Clothing around belts is always hard, because there is release and tension and hanging and stuff >_< But eh

Okay...this may be a stupid question....but how do you get the curves so well...like the hair going down the face and such. I find it hard not to scwibble it with my mouse...like im trying to do the same thing with a pencil but i'm holding it by the eraser.
love the shadowing.

treijim In reply to captainbenjamin12 [2007-05-30 22:56:14 +0000 UTC]

It's pencil-drawn, but I draw fast, so long lines often end up fluid. I also have the ability to write very very small, so I can do fine detail. I suppose it's a combination of practice and technique. Try drawing circles repeatedly for practice in drawing round lines.

So you draw...scan...finalize in photoshop or some other program that I cannot afford?...makes sense...

laurabeth [2007-05-29 17:53:07 +0000 UTC]

Oooh. Rush is doing both. It makes it more of a surprise

Though I like how Byuu's face came out, it's really gentle and sweet, and her eyes are very beautiful. The armor on both is freaking awesome, but I like Rush's better.. probably 'cause his started out cooler :B

The dragon silhouette is dandy, too. The rock-formation-things on the left look like a photograph.

treijim In reply to laurabeth [2007-05-29 22:26:14 +0000 UTC]

Byuu is not a SHE Unless that was a typo. And yeah Rush's armour is marginally better than Byuu's D:

The rock formation things are made using my New and Improved brushes!

Gaah! Why does this game sound so familiar? Anyways, It's a great piece as can be expected, but the lighting seems...off, somehow. Not sure how, though.

treijim In reply to WildfireMagni [2007-05-29 22:34:35 +0000 UTC]

I've done fanart from Bahamut Lagoon before. Might be where you heard it. As for you thinking the lighting is off, well, that's not helpful

I can't help but notice the scrawny waist of the child on the right.

Still, you've outdone everyone once again with the lighting effects.

I've explained that to someone else. It's accurate to the character. And they're 16-20. Hardly children Thanks!

So can I at least get away with the phrase 'Childish demeanor'?

Yer it's a turn-based RPG, and you move groups of units around a map into strategic positions and fight enemies that also move around :3

Yes! But you can cast magic from a distance, and dragons fight alongside you with AI, and a single figure on the map can be up to four units ;D
