Hey, just because something looks harmless doesn't mean it can't do astounding things.

Hell, just look at Shader. Aww, wookit 'im!

Kesyl looks rather more human than most other azzarn, at least from that perspective. Then again, perhaps its just the self-serving grin.

Speaking of Darius, have you ever done a color drawing of him? I recall a few sketches, but nothing complete.

Ah, Shader, you have appear to have shit all over your face. And rabbit ears. And some really funky lookin' scars/tatoos on your left shoulder.

That aside, Kesyl is still hot.

Awww, poor little Shader! Being judged so harshly before he gets his character development arc

! At least Raptor understands!

Kesyl's the steriotypical hottie! It's always good to hear she's living up to her job

The way you draw her helps. Her eyes are a little crazed, but they're hidden behind a lock of hair and the bridge of her nose, so the most unsettling part of her face if effectively concealed. Her canines are somewhate threatening since they're drawn so sharp, but since her mouth is drawn in a smile (as opposed to have her jaws separated like the prelude to a nasty bite) the focus drawn off of them. Really, the biggest draw of the picture is her hair (her HAIR, not her spikes) which always appears very lush and wild, always an appealing sight be it male or female. The rest of her features - clear skin, pouty lips, strong facial features - make Kesyl a tremendously attractive young woman. She has the sort of face that can go from attractive to deadly serious (she reminds me of Kate Beckinsale) and still look unarguably gorgeous.

You do very, very good work Pick.

I just don't find clothes that important for a portrait, plus I haven't even.. uhm... officially defined Ryvara's wardrobe, one main reason I don't draw her ...

Hmmm...I keep trying to think of what colors would mesh well with her skin tone (not to mention her hair) and I keep coming up with black, red, the middling ranges of blue and violet, and emerald or jade. As far as jewlery, citrine or opal, the aformentioned jade, gold if she wants to flaunt (Kesyl? Flaunt? NO!) or a touch of sapphire to create contrast. *shrugs* My two cents, anyway.

Alan Lee or John Howe?

And from what I've seen, I'd better start reading DC soon...

It might have been one of Howe's sketches. I'm really not sure, though.

Most assuredly.

And I must admit, Pick, even though I dislike Zixer intensely, his character design is quite interesting. The magical eye prosthetics on his cheek are quite distinctive.

That portrait of Zixer is ace. I may make fun of his uber-stylish scarf, but it really is an interesting character design. Is it difficult to do a young character in anime style when they don't have eyes?

Ford Prefect · Post by **Ford Prefect** » 2006-10-13 04:54am

Zixier looks remarkably Chinese. And his scarf is awesome. As are his fake eyes. Kamina seems to be trying to one up the Sitkas in terms of shiny prettiness. She's winning.

And is Umber in a sauna or something? Because that'd actually be really cool.

And from what I've seen, I'd better start reading DC soon...

Yes. You do. Put quite simply it is one of the finest pieces of fiction I have ever read in my entire life. And I do a lot of reading.
