Hello there!
Recently I have been writing a story, (no sneek peeks here) anyhoo I decided to draw one of the characters.
Enjoy (or not )

I know I'm terrible at drawing so I don't mind any comments on my skills, but what do you think of the character in general... I know that I have not told you much about him, so here is some info:
Name: Malcome (Mal)
Abilities: Shapechanger, TimeControler, Dimension Jump, and manymore, you will have to read the book (if I ever release it...)
Age: I cannot quite decide... over 2000 years
Species: was human now an "Old One"

P.S If you want to know more about Mal just ask in this thread or pm me!

If Mal had a theme song, it'd be Blue (da ba dee).

I was thinking of "Over the Hills and Far Away" by Nightwish, but then I know more of the storyline... I hope...
Although he is very depress character at times...

Thanks
Raziel

P.S If anyone wants to put their pics of characters they have made on this thread that would be good...
P.P.S O.K I'll say one thing about the story, Mal does not look like this when we first meet him

You might wanna specify the artist here since I have a song called Blue by Yngwie Malmsteen. It's just an instrumental thing he did, calling it Blue since it, to him, had a bluesy feel to it.

At least that drawing's about where I stand in artwork... So I consider it pretty good. We can't ALL be Zaushes and Meeshes. Same goes for every sort of thing. Not everyone's Michael Schumacher, or Michael Jordan, or Jimi Hendrix.

I said Blue (da ba dee), not Blue. The one I'm talking about is by Eiffel 65.
Just google it and you'll find the most popular eurodance song of 1999.

Well the parenthesis part made me simply think it was just you making the sounds of a part of the song lol. Sorry about that confusion, but I still think I'll stick to listening to Rise Against for the time being. I've been listening to pretty much only their songs for about 4 days now whenever I can!

This is what I understood

I'm confused...

Anyhoo I am not certain about what colours he should be (blue fur seems to be a hit tho ) please post any ideas and I shall try to redo it in them colours.

Raziel

P.S This is the music I was thinking of

You gotta love the CG of the 90s, a big blast of nostalgia.

Have I been shunned or something?

Raziel

P.S As I'm being ignored I shall go off topic; anyone like Sabaton?

To get back on topic, you should update the blue guy to 3D, he looks kind of flat in relation to the background.

I think it's a funny design, i just got a different design style but every artist got a specific style

My style is terrible
Anyhoo I'm trying to make it look more 3D, but at the mo I'm struggling; any tips?

Raziel

P.S Yay! I haven't been shunned! 'Least not yet

Make it look like a light source is shining on the character, so the sides not directly affected by the light source will be darker. It helps the 3D look.

This is why I normally stick to painting warhammer, it is easier to tell where the light should go.

Raziel

P.S why did none of you tell me that I was signing my posts with my other internet name? (Malanok)

Because you probably know it already.

its not that bad, for i have seen worse on DA.
i love drawing aswell. mostly SCI-FI Crap,Warhammer 40k stuff, furry(Mostly Scalies ), Mecha,Guns,Milatary,robots,Space Marines,Violence,Military style Respirators(think Helghast or Combine) Generic weird shit,A small series i made about Colonial Space Marines fighting a race of fuzzy pink critters that looks like a mix between carebares,teletubbys,and whinnie the pooh characters that are on a crusade against anything "uncute" with little toylike Rayguns and the CSM fight for there survival of mankind. (School induced boredom ).
once i get my Intuos Art Tablet i will be willing to show you what i can draw.

I drew that with a ink pen, a highlighter and some colouring pencils...
Maybe I should get a tablet...

Raziel

P.S I am now thinking of converting Malcome into a warhammer scale model... if I do I shall post some pics!

I make designs but even me I didn't use well the shadows and instead of using shadows I use details to give some relief in my designs sometimes those details gives some effects that shadows can bring into a design, And don't worry I'm not a great designer, I am far from that, just design thing that look like to something

Here is the second picture (just the first in different colours, with some little details added)

for some reason it did not like the rune I made on the blade and badge

Malanok

P.S thanks for the tips

N.B this pic is a few days old but due to slow internet this is the first time I could post

pretty good drawings there! I don't draw that good.
I'm still making stick figures when i make histories
though in individual drawings i make them 3D!
I liked that rune, btw.
for some reason it looks egiptian to me. perhaps the eyes look like these eyes that egiptians drew in ancient times. it looks cool!
hey, since ancient times egiptians were already drawing furries...

The runes never seems to be problematic IMO, it's more about some relief aspects, personally it's perhaps easier for my kind of designs to uses the details to bring some relief aspects in a machine than an organic creature, perhaps my tip couldn't work for your design, anyway it seems to look like the Egyptian god Anubis in style therms the eye form and the hair reinforces that style IMO

I see what you mean... I just like long hair on a man who is more powerful than human.
As for the eyes, you will not believe this, but I got my inspiration from "Impossible Creatures" or more correctly the tiger on the front of the box (look at the left eye up-side-down (It was on my desk facing away from me when I was drawing.)) (You learn something new every day...)

Raziel

P.S I'll try adding the detail to give depth (thanks for the tip;))
N.B I removed the pic from the quote, didn't want to waste space, if people want to see it they can scroll up...

Tis a pretty nice drawing you got there. I'm still working in the idea of key points of drawing before I even start coloring my stuff. At least you have most of the major points of drawing down...

And yeah, the Egyptians probably were the first furries, or at least artists of it all.

Ah Yes It seems be unbelievable, but who knows , even my own designs seems to some persons to came from an other inspiration I took before since you have some "auto criticism" you can enhance the aspects from your own designs with more ease even if some exterior opinions helps much, your design is cool, you need just to arrange some things and it depends what style you wanted to give

I know that this is off topic (Ha! in my own thread) but look at this:

Someone turned Raziel into a furry!
I know that the drawing was done on a computer, but that is the kind of drawing I would like to be able to do!

Raziel

P.S I got the pic from http://www.deimosarts.com/Arts2.html

Those pics aren't that bad.. some can't even do blobs, or blotches, because they don't know how to use pens..
