Some Drawings

Work in progress

I just thought that i would post a few drawings. These are drawings that either I like quite a bit or my friends have liked. They range from over a year ago to some more recent ones. They were meant to mainly be concept art for 3D work, but assignments always managed to get in the way :) First up is a character called Bianna [Bi-a-na]. The oldest of the drawings (the ink work is a little crappy). Most people (well guys) seem to love her. I can't quite put my finger on why though...

Next up is probably one of my favorite drawings that i have done. I can't remember exactly when i drew her (i really have to start dating my work :/), but it was late last year (i think). I just felt like drawing an angel for the hell of it. Named Mirai [after the modelling app], and I was going to make her in 3D. i gave up before hand though as it would be insanity to try to make full length feather wings. Maybe later on when i become better. [img]http://home.netspeed.com.au/mlanham/Mirai_line.gif[/img]

The last one is another concept drawing. She is meant to be the daughter of Valentina, my high poly comp entry (http://sumea.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=985 link). Her name is Ixia [ics-ee-a], and she too is an Elementalist. I only made very rough colours in PS. I would still really like to make her in 3D. I was actually planning on making her before Valentina, but the comp pursuaded me otherwise :) [img]http://home.netspeed.com.au/mlanham/ixia_colour.gif[/img] All crits please.

Woah!!!! wicked man,.. they rock,.. i especially like the wings on that angel character, just a quick note on bianna - my newbie art skills wud suggest that she was more curvier in the hips department,.. i dunno,.. it might just be the perspective but in comparison to her upper body as my eye travels down she starts to get a bit petite in the hip / buttock area... not suggesting my preference in the female form or anything!!!

I cant for the life of me see why boys like her tho!!

I just really like those wings on that angel ... wicked man.. if you ever make her in 3d,.. SHOW IT!!!!!!!!

also just a suggestion for the elementalist - some kinda arm jewelery ? or maybe an specialist elementalist tatoo or .. THE MARK OF THE ELEMENTALIST,.. or something,.. yeah.. wicked art tho man.. blows me out of the water !!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions HazarD. lol, i just like women of all types. I'm not overly fusy as to whether they have massive curves or more pettite frames. I will definitely keep an eye on hips though. Boys falling for her? HA. the guy that has fallen the most and spends all his time looking at her is a 29yr old guy. You think he would have grown out of it :D As i said, if i do make Angel's wings in 3D, it wont be for a while (until i'm more confident). I will definitely let you know though. I was thinking of a tattoo or some such marking, but i am a firm believer that tattoos are there for a reason and not just to look cool (like too many damn young girls now-a-days :/). I could think of no reason for her to actually have tattoos, so i didn't give her any. Generally the easiest way to identify an Elementalist is their Elemantal Sphere(s). The tennis ball sized sphere in her hand is a fair give away. Also, she is actually wearing specialty Elementalist Jewellery. The ear ring on her left ear and the stomach lace (not too sure of the actual name for this type of jewellery), have a crystal on them that is the same type of crystal used in an Elemental Sphere. Thanks again for the kind words, and i will keep on posting as i have new work.

You have some nice things going on here, some interesting ideas.
A few crits
In the first pic her arms a quite short, even with here arms where they are her hands should be for the most part below her crotch, the heel on her boots should be a little further back also, the lack of it makes her a little unbalanced.
The second pic is just nice, no real complaints on that one.
The third pic the biggest issue is that the eyes are very small giving the impression that they are too close together, other then that Im not a fan of flat colour, but that?s just me and I know its just a concept.

Good stuff.

Thanks Pantmonger. I do agree with you on all those crits. Her arms are too short (although i really think that it is a case of her torso being too long). And with the final one, her eyes are a little close together, but the main things that i would change if i went back to her is that her left hand is too small, and her shoulders are a bit too wide.

Damnit! I had a nice little reply all typed up but when I pressed submit, the page couldnt be found and I lost it, oh well.
It was basicly saying nice drawings ;)
