wolven [Profile] 2012/6/27 - 8:26:14
"So this is 'Elven' hospitality huh?"
Cane looked around in bewilderment as He and Daedrid Entered a vast jungle of buildings within trees and vice versa. The great Oaks, Sycamores, Hawthornes and an assortment of other trees made the Forest into a webwork of roads, bridges and all sorts of other structures. Cane picked up a glowing, turquoise plant from the ground. He had recognised it as 'Virnroot' from his education, but he had never even seen the plant in its fullest. he dug a hole in the ground quickly and planted the root, as the archers were eager to usher them onwards.
"I wish you could see this Daedrid."
-I don't need to. i can sense it, all of it! Its... to think of a word... its beautiful! -
Daedrid had been bound by the archers and soldiers, and was busy sniffing his way through the ground matter as a dog does when tracking. Cane, used to find this behaviour somewhat humorous, but had learnt that it was natural for Daedrid and had since stopped laughing.
Walking through the elven city, Cane felt dumbfounded, for above the massive corridors of trees, he observed a number of great dragons. they were an all-manner of colours, but in coherence with the city's hues, most were forest green and dark brown, with the odd indigo as was the flower of the Virnroot which littered the ground. He smiled with joy, recalling the sensations he felt as he and Yeersha- the village girl- observed Daedrid's egg for the first time. The wonder he once felt seemed to manifest itself around him, and his eyes gleamed despite the lack of starlight above them.
"Halt."
An elven guard, clad in emerald- armour with a leaf-green bladed bayonette stood before them, blocking their way.
"These ones claim to have been sent from the north. they have business with Queen Arya in Ellesmera." One of the archers said to the guard.
"I shall address the blue creature." the guard replied. Cane took a sudden dislike to the guard's manner, for it seemed they had no idea of his character as a snow elf. They were known for duelling those so unlucky to offend them. Yet epiphany grew in Cane's mind, for he could not reach Ellesmera if he were to retaliate. for this reason, he let the guard speak as he saw fit, with a great amount of personal dissatisfaction.
"You!" the guard said, pointing his weapon at Cane, "Who are you and what is your business with our queen?"
Cane considered his response carefully.
"I should like to withold my personal details from you due to a certain, discomfort of sharing such things with these Tree-folk to my understanding. My business with your Queen is for her eyes only."
The guard took some offense at Cane's Manner, and seeing the displeasure, Cane grinned wickedly.
"And by the way, I'm a snow elf from Riverhead in what you call 'the northern region."
The guard frowned.
"Archer Xylus, was the... Snow-Elf... armed?"
"The boy had a shovel and some kind of hunting knife. we observed them killing an elk with it most effectively. they also had this package which cannot be removed from the... thing over their. it has the queen's crest on it so indeed only she can tell of its meaning and contents."
Daedrid huffed angrily at his referral but soon piped down as an archer aimed his weapon at him.
"I don't like it. They could be Assasins. mind since the days of galbatorix, none have made enemies with the queen. Snow elf! you may make your way to Ellesmera with the guards. your weaponry shall be taken from you for security, and your dietary needs shall be catered for on your travels. Keep your beast under control and do not try anything funny. Go now!"
"As you wish. But before i go, if we should meet again and I should hope we should not, the name is Cane!"

Well, what do you guys think? Also I am still open for any dragon rider requests or other people's characters if you want me to draw them.


denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 21:43:59
I love the face of the white elf. The expresions of the two elves looking at the black thing is awesome and I love the teddy bear!
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:2:35
i agree~ it's really nice seeing so many colours in one of your pictures. and really neat writing too.
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/6/30 - 9:54:51
YES. this makes me happy. Nice writing, I really like Cane's character traits

Here guys, have a minimalist painting of Loki, my Hogg.

Ref: [link]

The snake, the picture, and the photography all belong to me.


ikasajidoshan88 [Profile] 2012/6/27 - 12:2:2
My goodness, that is a beautiful snake.
shamelessaardvark [Profile] 2012/6/27 - 14:5:39
Thanks! The photo was taken on one of his lighter days, so his pattern wasn't as bold, unfortunately. But I'm sure he'll darken up as he ages, which I'm really excited for. :D
[anon]lizziecatonhermomscomputer 2012/6/27 - 18:32:43
This is very pretty! I love how soft the picture looks <3
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 21:45:1
That is a beautiful photograph and a beautiful drawing! I love how the body merges into the background color. Very nice touch!
shamelessaardvark [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 22:49:34
Thank you!

Loki is kind of my poster-child snake. Although I'm thinking of doing this for everyone... A nice summer project.

foxtrot [Profile] 2012/6/27 - 9:13:24
No, it's funny and well-drawn. Shoosh.
[anon]lizziecatonhermomscomputer 2012/6/27 - 18:33:15
Naw I like it! Especially the contrast of the saturated blue and the nice browns <3
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 21:46:4
Very cool style of drawing cartoon animals. I love the expresion! The paws are also cool! <3

Left this open for some time.

I don't know if this should go in wings or quicklings. Move it if you see fit.
Just an exagerated lineless bust drawing of wolf Xylom. Nothing special.


[anon]lizziecatonhermomscomputer 2012/6/27 - 18:33:52
I think this is really cool! Especially that eye, and the face fur. Great job xy <3
tinylittlefirefly [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 8:50:15
I don't know why, but my favorite part is the...drippy-things...? at the bottom. It looks so cool!
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 21:47:12
Very cool painting! Very smooth and flawless! The bright yellow eyes are awesome. The sharp teeth arn't realistic but work very nicely for this painting!
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:4:31
whoa, this is so sweet. i love the teeth and detail on the eye~

Well, I'm not sure exactly how long this really took me, but it feels like a long time (trying to get the scales perfectly symmetrical and failing)


docile_dragon [Profile] 2012/6/26 - 19:28:54
Looking good, I like the contrast of the neon colors against the black, it really makes them pop. The shiny almost blurry look of this is great too. Good job with the depth perception too. Though this head would look better if it were attached to a neck in my opinion. You can never make something perfectly symmetrical without the copy tool, but don't worry it doesn't have to be, it looks fine just the way it is.
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 21:48:44
I like the scales! he dark background contrasts very nicely against the neon colors and for once, my eyes don't hurt. Great job! I love the glowing eyes, splendid work!
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:5:10
really love the shiny scales, too, they look incredibly realistic~ i'm also really digging that nose.
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/6/30 - 9:51:17
Your style is incredibly unique and awesome. Those scales are amazing
tinylittlefirefly [Profile] 2012/7/4 - 20:1:38
thanks <3

Lineless is way too hard. If it wasn't for the fact this was for my girlfriend's birthday I would have given up long ago.
Though it was yesterday, NDA deleted my shading three times so this wasn't finished until today. The background originally was more detailed, but after the third time my shading was deleted I quit caring.

Idea from the original drawing of him I made like two years ago - [link]
He was a sabre-wolf back then I believe, now Kolen is a lion.

Lion ref - [link]

I don't really like this much anymore, I wish the detailed background had not of gotten deleted u__u


dragon-drawer [Profile] 2012/6/26 - 15:57:21
That snow is beautiful. The pawprints in it especially.
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 22:0:36
The snow is so beautiful! It looks fluffy but solid, something I've yet to master. The paw prints are excellent especially since they reced in the background. :) The lions muzzle looks a little too dog like, which is ok, just remember to make it more lion like. When I do big cats I like to use circles to represent the muzzle. The muzzle is too thin and long. Everything else looks great!
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:6:13
gosh this is so nice. i love the detail on the face, and you draw backgrounds so nicely *-* it's a shame the oekaki had to eat your other pics though. i know how annoying that is.
catgirl [Profile] 2012/7/2 - 14:49:57
I really like the mountains, wish I could see the background you're talking about.

sort of a redraw of an old picture, or not really, but a drawing from the same scene. Even two years later this story I made up still makes me sad. Eh.

Seth is mine C:


dreyacira [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 16:11:42
Seth! I haven't seen Seth in a really long time! Aw...so sad, but so cute too. I like the lighting and the shading.
dreamsorrow3 [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 18:52:47
Haha, thank yoou <3 !
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 22:5:41
I love this piece. A lot of artists draw chibi to avoid anatomy but this is beautiful in that you DO know anatomy and aply it, exagerated where it should be but its there. The hair is wonderful and I love the adorable sad expresion! I jus want to hug her! ^3^ Its smooth and sleek, very beautiful!
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:7:3
i've missed seeing seth too :D and amen to everything denece said. i'm also really curious to hear this story now.

tinylittlefirefly [Profile] 2012/6/25 - 8:43:45
I really like the armor, and the shading as well. Very cool piece of artwork!
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/6/25 - 9:3:10
you are really good at adding costumes, especially armor it looks like. I wish I could come up with original costume/armor designs that were as good as yours.
catgirl [Profile] 2012/6/26 - 2:54:52
Good to see your pally again. :) Lovely lighting on the horn.
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 22:6:57
I love the grayscale, its very suiting for this image! I love it!

Whoever wants to crit my creepy anime vampire elf go ahead....yay first tablet drawing! :D


[anon]yasha_notloggedin 2012/6/24 - 21:37:46
You got a tablet too?? It's wonderful, isn't it? So much easier. And you're vampire is smexy. I love how he's a ginger and not all pale-with-black-hair like all the other vampires (like all my vampires...)

It's coming along real well! Keep up the good work!
kanadra [Profile] 2012/6/24 - 22:20:9
Looks pretty good, though I noticed when I watched the animation, that you didn't use any guidelines or a pre-sketch in your drawing. It might be a good idea to try doing some, in order to get proportions and angles right. Right now this character seems to have a really big head. Even cartoon and manga styles can use sketches to help. If you've got access to deviant art, you might be able to find some tutorials that can help you out, and if not, just search on google.
Another thing that could help is to use layers. I couldn't tell if you had done that or not, but don't be afraid of them. The more the better, if you can keep track of them. :)
Those are a couple things you could try out. Congratulations on your new tablet. They are handy tools.
pumadragon [Profile] 2012/6/25 - 10:42:43
Thanks guys!!!!!:D

@kanadra: So actually, I use guidelines on all of my drawings on paper, it's just that I find it extremely hard to make them on a computer, and if I can't make good guidelines, I'd rather not draw them because they just mess up the rest of my drawing. I think eventually I'll get better at it. I suppose part of the reason his head is too big is the fact that I gave him so much hair, but I love giving my characters tons of hair. Once I figure out computer guidelines, this should improve. And yes, I did use layers, but I honestly think I could use more. I only used two :3 Thank you so much this helps :D

And by the way, someone should think of a name for him, I have trouble making them for my characters a lot.
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 22:10:27
Congrats on the tablet! Makes everything esier doesn't it? [link]
That was me with a mouse. <3 Aww....humble beginings.
Anyway, back to the art. I love the white outline, helps contrast the image. The hair looks a little flat, prehaps some more detail and depth. I love the blood, its simple but highly effective at esstablishing character. :)
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:10:8
denece, i think you linked to inu's picture!

this is very cool, i really love the eye~

As it turns out... I can't draw lineless art.

And I hate drawing grass.

BUT this was a random bookmark idea.I kinda like it, tho.

kanadra [Profile] 2012/6/24 - 22:23:15
Well I think the lineless turned out well. could maybe use a few more details or deeper shading around the nose and eye, but this looks nice. I really like the lips. The grass looks nice as well, but it's a pain to draw, isn't it? Nice gradient in the sky, and I like how you drew the clouds.
[anon]yasha_notloggedin 2012/6/24 - 22:25:3
Thank you, it's the eyes and nose that ALWAYS get me. Grr. Oh well, thank you for the comment, and I shall work on those areas.

Also, I think I really like drawing clouded skies.
lilnaugrim [Profile] 2012/6/25 - 8:41:57
Beautiful! I absolutely adore the concept here, very well done!
yasha_windspirit [Profile] 2012/6/25 - 12:3:49
Wow thank you! I'm glad you like it!
1world1name [Profile] 2012/6/25 - 15:15:40
I really like the concept of this and the softness of the clouds and the shading. Also I like how you reflected light on the face, giving it a blueish color. The chin, however, seems to be in an angle that is too acute, if you know what I mean. The angle from the chin to the underside of the face should be around 90 degrees. It's not a big deal, but I thought it might help.
denece-the-sylcoe [Profile] 2012/6/28 - 22:21:37
I'd buy this bookmark! (if I had money. :3) I love how smooth it is! The colors are fantastic and the black adds supurb contrast.
[anon]miles 2012/6/29 - 17:10:45
are you kidding?? your lineless is soo coool. i also really love that background, those clouds look so realistic.
