I rather like Winter and Raza's character designs.
For some odd reason, Winter reminds me of Cosmo Kramer in that picture.

I love Raza's, personally

(used to call her Rajma, like Raza better). It's unfortunate she probably won't even get referenced. Winter might not either

.

Edit- I think I've forgotten to mention so far!

Raza and Winter were Umber's parents. The more you know, eh?

Those hands are incredibly life-like, long fingers and all. Amazing.
I have great expectations for the finished sculpture.

Why stones? Stones are nothing like the horny material keratine that claws are normally made out of.

River stones have a natural polish while maintaining the minor flaws that retain the appearance of a natural substance.

Plus it's a bit hard to find keratin chunks of the right sizes and dimensions for less than a "Bag O Black Rocks" from the Dollar Tree

Are sure you didn't just cut a person's hand off and somehow froze it? Because they are scarily real. Like pants scary.

Those feet make me think that whoever it is that you are sculpting should wear boots when it's cold outside.

Frostbite is very nasty, as you can see.

The detail on those hands is almost hypnotic. It's actually hard to stop looking at them.

Nice.

That's really bitchin' (though personally, I'm not too much a fan of prog-metal stuff), the colours are so...I don't know how to put it, but they look arty, as opposed to the rather "commercialised" look of my colouring. I'm sure you told me once, but I forgot and I'm too lazy to search, so how do you do that? What program is it?

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2006-03-17 04:40pm

That's the first work I think I've seen of yours that involves a genuinely evil-looking character. You're quite good at it.

I use Opencanvas 4 Plus, which is really not the best program in the world (lacks a lot of things Painter and Photoshop have, for instance) but is without a doubt the best value of any computer art program, EVER. Even though I have legal access to Photoshop CS, I only use Opencanvas for my pieces

. I completely urge anyone who uses a graphics tablet to use Opencanvas. It is definitely the bomb

. </product rant>

And yes, Ire. Since this isn't Dark Councilors art I can drop the "it's all perception" aspect, and just make this creepy old puppetmaster a clearly malevolent freak

.

EDIT- Also, Opencanvas has a function where you can save files that show the playback of the piece being made. Absolutely awesome stuff (and it allows you to go back to ANY stage that you've been through before, like permanent Undo capability if you know what you're doing.)

What he said. That sounds really awesome.

And that piece! Ah! Creepy and atmospheric!

Anime, or anime-style works, generally don't translate well into reality.

Still, I do like the overall form of his face, even if it is "all kinds of wrong."

Pick · Post by **Pick** » 2006-03-20 08:29pm

Anime, cartoons, you name it, never translate well into realistic figures. Still, I really wondered what it would look like. Ended up so weird...! If Edge saw that for real, it'd give him the higgly-wiggly heebly-jeeblies.

It'd still probably work fine as a style except that Edge is already established as pretty much an anime character, sans the actual anime

"I love you." "You scare me."

LOL! Though I've been in Hoquer's position a couple of times myself and it is definately not a fun one.
