Was this for everyone to post their DevArts in?
because it sure doesn't look like it to me

Can't wait to see the finished version of the waitress, Yubi.
Coatlicue needs to heal me ):

This is a personal art thread, yes o_o

Chron: And since a certain person put a horrible, horrible idea into my head right after I finished that drawing... Well. For what is to come next, think The House of Red Fireflies (http://ursulav.deviantart.com/art/House-of-Red-Fireflies-1-28801126)*, except kid-friendly. Mostly. Sort of.


* I didn't write that. Wish I did.

Oh my bad. I'm sorry! I'll delete my post.

It's cool. :>

Here's the Coatlicue girl coloured:
http://yubishines.deviantart.com/art/Coatlicue-Waitress-71287942

I have learned this about Painter X: pastels are much friendlier tools, and the watercolours make me howl with rage and gnaw on the edges of the monitor. If that's how they work in real media, then I'm never going into fine art.

Nice color choice for her there.
Where's baby moon? ;_;

NO MOON FOR YOU

Another of the myth waitress thing:
http://yubishines.deviantart.com/art/Nie-BW-71482266

After colouring this, probably the next will be Bai from the Madam White Snake story, then I have no idea what goddess or demoness or whatever to target next. He Xiangu is tempting -- she apparently attained enlightenment from drinking the vomit of seven immortals -- but I should branch off to other cultures. Equal opportunity butchering, y'know.

EDIT:
Coloured.
http://yubishines.deviantart.com/art/Nie-71495701

It does look a bit like a block print.

Also: if I recall, a lot of old Chinese myths have working-class men in hero positions simply because these people were revered higher than the warriors at times (especially by all those of Confucius's school of knowledge). Usually the approach they take is less "burst in and win" than it is a clever trick, similar to our Brave Little Tailor.

Man, if I had a nickel for every Chinese myth I've read lately that involved a poor scholar who failed the imperial exams... I'd be able to... buy an ice cream.

Couple of recent sketches:

Litany (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/litanydoodles1.png)
I wanted to create a sort of priestess character, without all the lame add-ons and flappy cloth bits that anime character designs have. Ended up with a scary sorceress nun. I'm going to have to finish this simply because it freaks me out.

Doodles (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/litanydoodles2.png)
Started to design a warlock to go with the priestess, but I couldn't figure out what she should look like, so just doodled.

Chainsaw (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/chaingirl.png)
Right.

More Doodles (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/doodlemega.gif)
A Megamanish thing. And doodles.

Looks like a priestess to me.
That Megaman has a nose.
It's not a big nose, and it's not a small nose.
It's a nose.

But it stands out.
Like a sore nose.

So's I'm doing one of those "hundred doodles based on keywords (http://starspiritgate.livejournal.com/273774.html)" things. Let's see how long my attention span holds!

I really like these last three pictures, but I like the last one the best. In the second one, the eyes are really far apart though.

Agreed, the third one is best.
Quality work.

The facial expressions are good, especially on the last one.

Been trying to work more on black and white rather than colour, so thanks :>

Quick (not black and white) doodle:

I like the eye style and the whole brush pen sort of look.

I very much like the hair and the metallic feel I get from the texture.

@ description: What about that girl from Runaways?

I think the comic panel looks great. The style sort of reminds me of Persepolis, and that's cool.

What girl? I'm not familiar with Runaways.

It reminds you of Persepolis? Sweet. I love that movie.

http://yubishines.deviantart.com/art/Echidna-82796736
It's nagging at me that the present-day-goddess designs look too much like normal people, even if that was the point. I don't really like this particular one. The arms look too short, although when I measure them with my hands and swivel them to be vertical, they're the right length. I'll do a better one of her and Medusa at some point.

I was talking more about the the graphic novel Persepolis but yeah, same art style in that anyway.

Gert from Marvel's Runaways if you ever check it out. She was in like the first 6 or 7 volumes of the digest sized trades. I can't find a decent picture of her right now.

Why do I never finish the ones I really do work at? I still have the half-coloured version of this (http://yubishines.deviantart.com/art/Valor-WIP-71103252) sitting in my "painter" folder. It's not been touched for four months.

Weiss hunting vampires (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=158947)
Okay, this has some background. Every time I read a comic (or story, or whatever) that has a vampiric creature kidnapping and mind-controlling people, usually beautiful women... the vampire acts like a jerk and smacks them around. It bugs me. I like charm and honor in my villains, is all. Even kidnapping ones.

Holy##### actual megaman themed art in a megaman forum I KNOW HOW WEIRD.
Drawn because there's a Megaman X themed RP that a couple others and I are starting, also on Tegaki, so I need to make a character that isn't really really old and cheeseball. Link is here. (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=9759&e=166371)

I haven't said this before but I really like the color usage in your art and it something I personally find hard to do. All of my stuff is mono-toned but recently I've really wanted to experiment with some different color schemes. I like the Sin City one the most.

Well I missed a whole boatload of art, didn't I?
All very good... something about it reminds me of the Breath of Fire character art.

i'd say draw fou-lou, but eh

Thanks!

If y'all haven't been, be checking out the RP thread (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=9759&e=166371). It's filled with awesome. And, for some horrifying reason, robot T&A.

Quite apparently. I mark that as a success.

It's kind of sad, but I'm almost more comfortable drawing on tegaki than in Painter or on paper now. The myriad limitations just make it more interesting...

Firstly, I have drawn more boats, skies, and oceans for the Drow Love RP than I have for anything else ever.

You want a fun yet limited art thing?
Try getting a facebook and using the grafitti app.
Holy cow. There are extremely talented people doing stuff with that.

And now for something completely different.

I think I've wanted to be a writer more than an artist, but it's harder to motivate myself to actually write and finish stories. Ngh.

Here's three really short things I wrote last night. It's freaking hard to write things that are sad without going emo. (There's a difference. Sad can be played to actually be hurtful. Emo is just whining.) One's a vampire yarn, the others are just... things.



[spoiler]"What are you afraid of?" he said, and because it was too dark to see him, she could answer.

"Being found out," she said.

"As...?"

"As a fraud. People looked up to me, you know, and they've called me brave and daring and steadfast. I haven't earned any of it. But they need me, they need me to be that idea of a person. I think I'm just waiting for someone to find me and say, nice try, now go home before you embarrass yourself."

"But you have earned it. You've saved people -- put your life on the line for strangers -- I'd be dead if it wasn't for you."

"Is that virtuous? To do something when to do anything else would be monstrous? I haven't done anything to be a hero, Lycaon. Just human."

"You know that isn't true."

"Heroes don't freeze when they're afraid. Heroes aren't dogged by bad memories everywhere they go. Heroes don't cry or throw up or want to die when they fail..."

He reached out and took her hand, but she barely noticed.[/spoiler]


[spoiler]If they kept track, they would know this was their three hundred and fifth anniversary, but they lost count after the first sixty years. Neither would know how to celebrate it, anyway.

Survival is easier than either would have imagined. Food was never a necessity, though they discovered early on that they could stomach certain things: pure water, for instance, or rare meat. Excesses of temperature were never a bother, and their eyes have always seen best in the dark.

Still, it is good to fit in, and there is electricity for heat and light in the apartment they share. There are books on the tables, mugs in the cabinet, art on the walls. Not much is treasured. They don't have many personal possessions. In this age, being hounded down as witches or demons is unlikely, but habit is habit.

Their only difficulty is remembering to stock the fridge. Luckily, guests are few and far in between.

He, the younger one, is better with people, and so is often the one to find work. Currently he does a late-night show for a radio station. On weekends he helps at a crisis hotline, where his patience earns admiration from the other volunteers.

The older one doesn't leave the apartment much. Mostly he listens to music. His smiles are seldom and gone quickly, as though he's forgotten how.

Here is a secret: Daylight doesn't kill them. Still, the elder is profoundly unsettled by it; the younger less so. They both keep to the nights.

When they are alone, they rarely talk or touch or make love. The nearness is enough.[/spoiler]


[spoiler]There are things that are triggers for her. Not many, thank goodness, thank goodness, but none would have been better than some. A smell, the feel of cold marble, a lilt of voice, perhaps.

She doesn't respond to it consciously. Sometimes she catches herself in time. Usually she doesn't. She's clenched her hands so hard her knuckles complained, and pulled and pinched at her skin. It's worse if she's alone. She slammed her head into a wall once, hard enough that she almost blacked out.

Any physical pain is better than remembering.[/spoiler]

I enjoyed all three passages, you did a great job of conveying such emotion in such a small amount of text.

Keep at it, and since I can relate to the feeling of never being motivated enough to finish things, try keeping them all short at first.

I agree with ASR.
The vampire passage painted a pretty clear picture in my head (no surprise, it's the longest). Sounds kinda Anne Rice in terms of idea, but some people love that.

The first is a life lesson everyone needs once in a while.
You're only human, but that doesn't mean you're powerless (is that what would be accomplished?).

The third, while written in third person, is clear enough to allow the reader to relate to the situation. Really puts you in the spot, and with such a short passage.

Nice work.

I'm worried about doing vampire stories. The two boys in that story I really want to write about (at least one about their meeting, and another of them in a modern/semimodern setting) but I want to show vampirism as actually being a curse. Not something sexy or glamorous.* It doesn't help that I'm removing a central part of the curse, which is being harmed by daylight.



* See: The MarySuefest that is Twilight. A girl I liked told me today that she loves that book. A part of me died today.

It's hard to portray immortality as a curse. Someone who's already soulless like myself would have a ball 100% of the time.

But... that WOULD be interesting.

I don't mind the whole sexy vampirism thing, but I'm glad you're not going with that. It's pretty played. You can do the sexy and cursed bit, that's not bad. But like... I look at covers of Anita Blake comics and want to burn them.

THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF IVORY SKIN (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=199703)

...she said, as she designs an ivory-skinned character (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=195266)

I like all skin tones on girls as long as it works with the rest.

I'm really picky with girls in general so I dunno.

I'll take what I can get.
(http://www.rurihoshino.com/images/gallery/gai/GD02.JPG)

Ivory white skin is generally pretty weird. Not so great for those who have it (if you live in a place with a lot of sun, like here).

Works nice with redheads though.
For some reason.

I know some really good looking alabaster beauties. So I always find it weird when people say pale is not good.

If it works with the girls eyes and hair, then it works. That's just how it is for me. It's really not about preference for certain stuff, than it is about everything working together.

Of course none of that matters as much as their personality.

Works nice with redheads though.
For some reason.

Not for me, thats the only one thats a no-no for me.

That's because you like lobsters.

Actually, I was making fun of overly-elaborate character descriptions. You know, "glowing ivory skin," "eyes like shimmering orbs of liquid emerald," that sort of thing. Also how many roleplay characters I run across with ivory skin never mention sunburns.

It's gotten so that I want to stop describing hair or eye colours when I write, because argh.

I have to concur that red hair + pale skin is gorgeous, though.

Depends.

No, no.
She's absolutely right.

Involved character descriptions are only good where appropriate, which doesn't happen very often. Well, like that sort of gooshy mushy pretty princess stuff.

But when you get down to descriptions that read like... I dunno,
"When Hellboy smiled, his face was like a dry, roasted peanut,"
it can be pretty decent.

I meant the last part depends. There are bad mixes of pale skin and red hair as often as there are good ones.

I too hate descriptions like all that. But the one Yubi posted about the emerald eyes is kind of funny.

"My balls are like shimmering orbs of liquid emerald" is like the most overused pick-up line ever.

Maybe in your house.

Is ASR a leprechaun?

Height-wise, at least.

:(

I would DWARF you.

Don't mess with me! I've got friends at the Keebler Factory!

More like relatives and clones of you at the Keebler factory.

Hey, I get free cookies! Not a bad deal!

At this rate you'll end up like the fat Tetley tea elf, you know.

Here, have more weird writing things. One day I might link them into actual stories. One day,

---
[spoiler]"You're being too harsh on her."

"I think," said Maris, "that she's a little brat shooting her mouth off about things she doesn't understand. I've no obligation to be nice, neither."

"But you're a loudmouthed brat yourself. Begging your pardon."

She grinned at that, bright shark's-tooth grin in a dark face wreathed with cigar smoke. "That's because I'm older. I earned the right to be a hypocrite. She hasn't."[/spoiler]
---
[spoiler]This is the magus at the age of five. The tribe's shaman is explaining to her parents she has the talent, not just for magic, but for medicine too. Healing hands that have to be trained now, and the shaman -- literally, their witch doctor -- needs an assistant.

Look at her carefully, standing at attention as the adults argue. No soft doll is cradled in her arms, or thumb in her mouth. Her hands just hang stiffly, and her wary eyes are always watching.

She will be striking when she grows up, but never beautiful. Her lips are too thin, her features too angular and defined.[/spoiler]
---
[spoiler]He finds delight in small things: The pattern of seeds on a grass-stalk, the fine weave of cloth, the pulsing lights that flicker in the redness behind his eyelids. Distantly, he knows that it's a crazy-person thing, to spend hours inspecting cracks in the floor or picking bark off a tree, but he can't help it. The repetition soothes him and settles his mind. In those hours, the trembling stops and the worry is forgotten. For a time.[/spoiler]

You're a fairly good writer. Particularly, I'm impressed with your descriptive talent, an area in which I lack severely.

You should write some short stories.
That's generally a good way to break in to the longer stuff.

Meet the goddesses of Ivory's Restaurant.

...well, not all of them are deities, and this isn't all of them, but still.

tegaki (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=210938) - devart (http://yubishines.deviantart.com/art/Ivory-s-Restaurant-92241122)

Nice poses for all.
(Who's who?)

Clockwise, starting from the left:

Echidna (A kind of Greek Lilith. A beautiful winged woman with a snake body who mothered several of the significant monsters in the mythology, like the chimera and the sphinx. She probably needs a modern name, but there aren't any good ones that start with the syllable "ek-". Considering Elaine.)

Xiaoqing "Ivy" (When I first came across her story, she was a carp demon, but Wiki says she's a green snake demon? She was Bai's maid and companion.)

Bai Suzhen "Ivory" (White snake demon, transformed into a human to marry her beloved. Then her husband betrayed her, and she was imprisoned by a monk for several years until her son freed her. Whole bunch of variations of her story actually.)

Nie Xiaoqian (Ghost girl forced by a demonic tree to kill travellers for their blood. A scholar defeats the tree, frees her from servitude, and marries her.)

Medusa (Interestingly, Echidna may be her mother.)

Coatlicue (Attacked by her hundreds of children when she was pregnant, she was beheaded by her daughter Coyolxauhqui, I think? The two snakes that sprout from her neck represent the gouting blood. Then her son Huitzilopochtli is born, fully-grown and armed, and avenges his mother. Except she didn't die. Or something. Aztec mythology is crazy.)

Hmm. If you have Medusa, are the other Gorgones going to show up? Or this your own universe kind of thing?

Stheno and Euryale? Maybe. I haven't really thought far into this idea yet. Medusa and Echidna are both supposed to be dead, anyway.

Yes, but Medusa was the only mortal of the three so they could just as easily still be alive. Food for thought.

There actually are programs other than Tegaki I can use to draw with? Say it isn't so!

Colors in that are nice.
Sort of has an industrial revolution feel to it.

I agree, but I wish there was a more defined nose.

Must... do... semiserious painting for once...

Time for a second go...

Hey, that's pretty cool.
I like the style and color choices there.

I quite like it as is, although I think the head starts to round at the top a bit too soon/much.

Meet the goddesses of Ivory's Restaurant.

...well, not all of them are deities, and this isn't all of them, but still.

Continuous line drawing?
Crosshatching?
Right?

I don't think that actually fits either description.

There's a reason why I'm going to just barely pass my college level art class.

Sano: Uh, no, and a little bit.

Below is an abortive attempt at another painting. Noses are still my nemesis, and so our Random Girly-Boy looks like a cross between some Korean pop star and Michael Jackson.

I didn't think "Korean boy" or "Michael Jackson" until I read it. It looks great, and I'd say "Don't be so hard on yourself" but I know from experience that being hard on yourself is the best way to get better.

Maybe I meant Scribble Gesture...

Random Girly-Boy looks like a cross between some Korean pop star and Michael Jackson.

Mr.Children?

The red clothes don't help to get rid of that Thriller stuff.

Maybe if/when you finish them in another colour.

My strange quest to inject realism and less bulkiness into Megaman designs continues.

Megaman design win.

The word geeks looks just like in Freaks and Geeks. I like that. Anyway

DRAW MY CHARCTUR IN YUOR STIJL!

Bottom right of the first image ftw.

I like the last one as well, mainly for the expression.

Any of you folks know John Ringo? No? Okay, the only way I know him is through a series of books that were apparently written in a "no one's ever going to want to read this, so I'll just go all-out with the id and be horrible and extreme" frenzy. Then he posted it someplace saying, ha ha, look at this awful stuff I wrote. And it's pretty bloody terrible (the hero is a rapist that collects hookers like cats and slaughters whole secret bases of terrorists singlehandedly). And to his horror, people read it and liked it, and his agent made him publish it.

And so with this. I am not writing about rape and slaughter, because argh, but this is as likely to get taken seriously as a vampire elven thief that smirks a lot and has "impossibly blue eyes." It's got badly researched amnesia, which is the most overused thing in fiction ever. But I started writing this this morning and it's pouring out like crazy and AARGH DAMMIT it's nothing at all like what I thought I wanted to write.

http://starspiritgate.livejournal.com/294341.html

I'll keep updating that entry with chunks of text as I go. No title yet.

Furthermore, behold Prince Peach (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=227159) and Dread Pirate Lady Capricious (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=228786).

Yeah, it's not working for you like it worked for that Ringo guy.

Now normally I'd just ignore such a post, but what's working for you exactly Sano?

Uh... I don't really understand the question.

That was a good enough answer.

Forgot to post this from a while ago. Character designs of Autem Mort, an ex-paladin who's much much too nice for her own good. Takes some doing so I don't write her as Pollyanna, but it's worth it.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=23674&e=203387

Prince Peach still looks like a chick.

Whatever he's got in his pants, he's still fluffy-haired royalty in pink with a parasol and needs to be rescued.

I'm trying to draw Maria and Luigia, but it's just not happening. Augh.

Luigette sounds less like a Pokemon.

It'd be odd without mustaches. You can make them sideburns girls though. I've seen such women. Unfortunately.

A girl I was talking to about this idea suggested giving them chocolate milk 'staches, which is awesome. I don't know if she's going to be drawing that or not, so I don't want to yoink that idea.

It would be better if they had chocolate milk in the Mushroom Kingdom. Or milk. Or cows.

You'd be amazed at how brittle the bones of the general Mushroom Kingdom populace is. I've always wanted to ask Princess Plum why the Lactose Republic doesn't ship to Mushroom Kingdom, but we keep making out so much I forget to ask.

Princess Plum has the herpes.

You're thinking of Princess Bum. Understandable mistake for anyone who hasn't SEEN Princess Bum.

Ohdeargod.


...where is the bottom half of Princess Plumdaisy?

On my...

Just censored, that's all you needs ta know.

Anyway the first time I ever saw Daisy in anything she was called Princess Plum. Still don't get it. Unless she's Daisy Plum, like Peach Toadstool.

PlumBum?
Like, lead?

When was she ever Princess Plum?

I don't get it either, but that's who she was in something. There was a Plum in Mario Golf 64 but she was pretty different.

Here's the fifth thread image for Drow Love, with the cast cosplaying as Chrono Trigger.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/drowchronoistoughtrigger.png)

This made my head hurt. Especially Arinae (LOL NO CHAINS + WHITE DRESS) and Autem (LOL FUR BIKINI).

Although I'm delighted I managed to draw a girl showing that much skin without making it fanservice.

I hope.

You showed her bikini wax. It is thus fanservice as far as internet freakoes are concerned.

Did somebody just cast awesome?! : V

Thats great Yubi, just great!

Awesome lvl. 2 with +3 boots of wicked, I think.

I stared at that image for a good long while.

I think it's because I like it.

You showed her bikini wax. It is thus fanservice as far as internet freakoes are concerned.

In recent Tegaki stuff, I drew Tirade from the sketch I did a while ago, as well as Star for the first time in a while.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/tiradestar.png)

That is really good, but it looks like you forgot about shading about half way down her body, even though there's still glare.

You win at arts.

Yeah, the shading is very cursory. I'm just confused about shading Megaman armor, it seems more like dull plastic than metal.

In recent news...

LOL DRAMA LOL REALISM (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/loldramalol.png)
lol

Helga Hall (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=269031)
Errr... this needs explaining.

So there's this big thing about "groups" on Tegaki, sort of like LiveJournal communities except it's not something coded into the site. On the surface it's about making up characters based on a theme and then roleplaying; in practise, it's thirteen year old girls making application posts with names like VANAIAOEM AURORA ALIAS KEYMASTER (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=37884&e=268824) and then endlessly introducing characters to each other.

I mostly ignore them but I found this one called Asylum the other day. It sets itself up as a realistic setting in a mental institute ("NO ELVES AND SUPERPOWERS") with serious diseases. What actually happened was literally fifty applications with shaggy-haired doe-eyed anorexics with insomnia and paranoia and BPD, the last of which translates into "rampant promiscuity." Who get to dye their hair and have cats and wear miniskirts. And have X-Men codenames.

It would be funny if it wasn't insulting.

Also, the moderator's character has a Joker smile and yard long hair, and he mopes about whining about why they called him different.

Realism.

Yes.

Realistic.

I haven't been up to much. Have a super fast drawing of Medusa I just did.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/medusa-grinning.png)

That's super fast?

I like the erasing work.

It's fast since it's just shading with scribbles and I'm not drawing a full person or even proper shoulders.

I think I wanna colour this though.

EDIT: There we go:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/medusa-grin-colour.jpg)

I like the black and white better, it's focus is more on the face, where colored it's focus is the glasses and hair it seems.

Mm, John's not wrong but I like both for those reasons.

Yep, much better in BW.

I'd prefer the color bit a tad, but that's because of the hair. The rest of it is better in B&W.

Hair would look much better if it were bleachy.

I think y'all are right -- black and white was better. Eh. I still want to figure out a way to add colour somehow. Give it a comic book feel, somewhat.

Lessee... what's new...

I drew a naked chick. It's pretty worksafe. No nipply bits. Still tackling things like anatomy.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=293622

I'm not sure at all how to draw satyrs. I definitely know the legs aren't balanced right. It doesn't look like the body has weight.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=293967

I made a really terrible (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=297283) parody roleplay group (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/sortbytag.php?t=6365) that makes fun of other Tegaki roleplay groups. Currently there's a fad for anime academy things, with all the awful anime tropes you can imagine.

So I made a katana swordchick (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=297316) and a magical girl (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=297472) and a goth raver unicorn furry sorceress (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=301322).

Guess which one made me want to kill myself the most?

Magical Girl?

#3.
That's my guess because just reading it made me want to kill myself, let alone the image.
How did you bring yourself to draw that?

The naked chick seems alright in proportion. Sort of hard to tell in that pose, but that's probably the most worksafe pose I can think of.

The Satyr's middle leg-joint is too long (the horizontal part), and the upper body is disproportionate from the lower. I can't see anything else wrong with it.

OK ok ok ok I like all the arts, but I'm also posting just to say that those "Grrrrawwh" comments with that bear-thing by this Valeryce person made me laugh.

OH MY GOD. BEAR-KUN IS SO AMAZING.

Valeryce makes the awesomest characters. She has a DnD character called Kate the Manslayer. All you need to know about her is that she hates men and likes hunting boars. At the epilogue of her DnD plotline, she had a son named Amanda that she feeds raw meat in the hope he'll grow up strong.

So badass.

So... Who won the Yubi's Suicidal Tendencies award?

The unicorn.

That. Is. SO. Badass.

Nah, the Unicorn is too obvious.

On the other hand, you'd have to be a total idiot to ignore the surely painful creation of such a monstrosity.

Chron got it. I drew the unicorn raver more or less on a dare, and I don't really mind magical girls very much.

Still hurts to make myself draw in the typical/bad anime style, though.

Nah, the Unicorn is too obvious.

Not every girl that talks is trying to trick you!
Just most of them!

Here, have a doodle of a character that doesn't make me spit up blood.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/art/tiradegrinslikeafool.jpg)

Great job. That character has cool hair.

I like it. A lot. A lot.

Wow, very cool stuff.

Been long enough, I had about 2 pages of things to look at. Good stuff, Yubi. You've become pretty good.

Now I wish I could get into art swings again.

Dinah Hunter (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=310517)
Tegaki just introduced opacity control. It's handy, but I'm trying not to overuse it, since part of the awesome of the site is the limitedness.

Also, just stumbled on this.
http://tegehel.deviantart.com/art/meduSA-Industries-31479006

Uh... oops. I swear I've never seen that before.
Should I change my Medusa design now? I just can't see her as anything but blonde... Maybe I'll just change the red.

Ehh, I don't think you'd need to change the entire design.

Heck, I think you should still keep it the same. Yours is in a different art style and like you said, you've never seen it before.

Dinah kinda reminds me of that Harry McDougal guy from Outlaw Star.
Kinda.

As for changing the design... not sure. I hate it when I take a crack at something only to discover it's been done later on, but the truth is this happens more often than not.

You could spend a long time trying to come up with something new, or you could change Medusa's design just enough... like you said.
If the outfit is different, which I'm pretty sure it is, you could probably get away with changing the color or even her face structure if you want.

Not really sure though.

I was really just thinking a black miniskirt and red jacket. None of that, um, straps and BDSM stuff. I guess I'll be fine.

In current stuff... I drew a mermaid based on leafy sea dragons in the comments of this thread (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=9759&e=286715). There is nudity, because I will never draw a shell bra if my life depended on it.

My contribution: (SORT OF NSFW I GUESS)
[spoiler][/spoiler]

Well done.
Color style on the tail sort of reminds me of Greek art.
Not sure why, but it does.

The tail is very unique.
I like.

Thanks!

Greek? I guess I can see that. I mostly think of that colour combination to be reversed in Greek art, though -- the orangy/brown/red is the background while the figures are black.

Alternate armor design for Star:
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=320860

I feel leery about using Native American art as MMX character inspiration. I kept arguing it back and forth in my head when I was drawing it, why I was feeling weird when I would cheerily do worse with Christian mythos and art, to say nothing of the whole Ivory's Restaurant concept where everything's free game.

Finally decided that I was feeling guilty because it's Native American, which is not a good reason. I don't believe things are inherently sacred (or profane) and untouchable by my grimy little fingers. So there you go.

And that's my navel-gazing for the day. Time to read about gay gunslinging cowboys.

---

Trying to write fruity flowery Elven folklore for the DrowLove roleplay, I instead ended up with this. It's a bit depressing and entirely the wrong tone for a froofy fairytale. Also very unedited.


[spoiler]
A soul who was well-loved in life, or crossed in love, or, perhaps, left a task yet to be done for those they cherished, will sometimes manifest after death as a tree that sprouts from their burial site.

Often, a bird will appear in the tree, and through it the spirit will communicate with the world, using it as its voice and eyes. Dead mothers have left gifts for their daughters, and dead brothers revenged themselves, in this manner.

Once, from the graves of two lovers unfairly separated and even in death were buried apart, two peach trees grew in an arc until their branches touched and intertwined. Soon, the crowns of both trees were so tangled together that none could tell where one began and the other ended.

The basilisk that wended its way through the forest floor had never been loved, whether truly or falsely. When it had hatched, its noxious breath had killed the cockerel that fostered it; wherever it went, it scorched the grass and withered the trees; and any man or beast that met its opal eyes was instantly turned into stone.

Before the creature had lived a year, the land had turned barren. Those that it had not killed had fled, partly out of mortal fear and partly from hunger. The basilisk's poison ruined crops and leeched fertility from the land. Only the hardiest trees and plants could withstand it. There was no strength of body or mind that could defend a person from a basilisk's gaze, and so the people fled.

The basilisk did not mourn its loneliness, for it had known nothing else. It slithered through the grey forest, leaving curlicue marks in the dust like letters in a lost language. When it slept, however, it dreamed in fits and starts and woke in shudders. Anxious hazy visions filled its nights, not quite dreams, not quite nightmares.

One such fretful night, the basilisk roused to noises outside its burrow, and it looked out to investigate. It was the deadest darkest hour, but in the faint starlight it saw a woman who had lain down to sleep. Some people say she was a fairy or a celestial, others say she was a traveller lost in a parched land, and still others believe she might have been a little of both. Whatever she was, she lay so close to the burrow that the basilisk could feel the wind from her breathing.

The basilisk had not seen another living creature for many years, and had it been fully awake, it might have made a noise or been startled. But it was in the smoky hinterland between sleeping and waking where nothing is a surprise, and it simply curled up by the woman, not quite touching her, and drifted into dreams once more.

And maybe because of some magic, and maybe because of the gentle cadence of the woman's breathing in its ears, the basilisk's dreams were still and calm through the night.

When it woke, it was midday, and the woman was long gone, her trail cold.

The next night, the basilisk's dreams were no worse than they had ever been, but it suffered terribly, remembering the easy sleep of before. Though it scoured the borders of its forest home, it never saw the woman or any other person again.

The years passed, and its scales began to grey and flake and scatter, when at last, under one of the few living trees left, it dug a burrow that spiralled down, down, down. There, curled in on itself in the earth, it died.

As its flesh withered and its taint faded from the forest, the tree above it (little more than a sapling) began to spread its roots further and deeper, until at last it touched its bones.

Perhaps, as it wrapped around the basilisk's corpse, the tree fed on the creature's solitude and desolation. The heart of a tree not given to strong emotions, but as the tree grew, it changed. Its bark became greenish and pebbly, and it no longer grew straight. It sent branches to wrap around the trunks of its neighbors, at first whip-thin, then they broadened and split to wander further afield.

The basilisk tree was still searching, though it did not know what for.

Eventually, its branches consumed the entire forest, and could explore no more.

Each trunk that the basilisk tree twined around did not wither, as they might have with a strangling vine, but went as hard and brittle as baked clay. When their leaves fell, they shattered; a heavy storm stripped their branches as efficiently as autumn would.

Over the centuries, the strangled trees crumbled into dust, but the basilisk tree still lives.

Sometimes, regardless of season, the basilisk tree gives fruit: Rock-hard green fruit in the shape of teardrops that no animal would touch. When they fell to the ground, they were left alone. When they were rotted by rain and absorbed by the ground, no grass would grow there.

The wind blows through the whirling curlicues of its empty branches where living trees once stood, and sometimes it sounds like a keening mournful song, and sometimes it sounds like a woman breathing.

Deep below the curling branches and within the tangled roots, better guarded than the highest of kings, the basilisk's bones are waiting still.[/spoiler]

That's really awesome Yubi.

Thanks!

Partly because I feel I should learn to draw animals sometime, partly because I hate froofy unicorns, partly because this video and thread (http://community.livejournal.com/wtf_nature/214186.html?thread=6523818#t6523818) never fail to make me sad, partly because I really don't like horses, behold! The Llamacorn.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=330412

I really don't like horses aswell!

There was a lamacorn type thing in a shot in Chappelle's show once.

When I took Spanish, I always wondered how Argentinians (and other South American Spanish speakers) would pronounce llama.

Since ll is usually a "y" in most Hispanic dialects.

Guh, I can't get tegaki to load.
I also wasn't aware it was part of UNowen.
): I shall have to remember to view the llamacorn later.

Goddammit stupid tegaki. Crossposted at DA. I should have done that anyway.

Llamacorn.
... how I wish I had one.

Holy #####, thats so #####ing great. Llamacorn! GOOD GOD THATS SO DAMN PERFECT.

Came to the horrified realization that the little avatar in the LittleBigPlanet video in the Solitude thread wasn't a cute cyclops thing. Recitifed that:

Hahaha, I want one.

I really don't.

It's a cute drawing, but if that thing was flesh and bone and stuff...

OD?!

Looks more like a fusion of OD and Petey.

Dammit, I shouldn't have made him orange. Friggin' complimentary colours.

Kit is a character I made for a Silent Hill RP (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=343220). (At least five or six people are going to get into it. Spent last night talking about nightmare fuel monster ideas. SO PSYCHED.)

It's getting off to a good start. In grand horror game tradition, Kit is leaving his car behind and is preparing to head into the misty wood with a strange biker punk girl. Hilarity will surely ensue.

His eyes are more feminine than Autem's. This concerns me.

He reminds me of Android 17.

Current developments in the Drow Love RP (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/uentries.php?u=23674) are a barrel of laughs, particularly for the character Phyre'ari. So to cheer his player up, I made this.

http://www.fhqhosting.com/ui/fiespin.swf

I make no apologies.

Also, my fallen paladin was given an atonement quest omfg spoilers. Uploaded here with the lettering redone for easy reading. She visits the wrecked house where a girl was murdered that morning, and hilarity ensues.

I can't believe I put that much effort in a doodle just to illustrate a foulmouthed quote.

"Would there even be gay strip clubs in a medieval setting?

Probably."

*cycles through three possible replies*

1: Well, duh, wouldn't there be?

2: How would I know? I don't write that crap when I'm RPing Dinah.

3: Horrible profanities to your lord and savior, and you single out the gay bar line?

Not my lord and savior!

He's a Jew!
(Let's get 'im!)

Oy vey!

WHataawahtgwasthat?! Did you just... HEX me?!

Hah, silly religious nuts.

So I'm helping organize a roleplay group (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/uentries.php?u=43078). The premise? Fictional revisionism of Super Mario Bros, where everything is bright and colourful but is secretly a depressing crapsack world.

It does not get much geekier than that.

Doodled two of the races, toads (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=378674) and yoshis (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=378749). Yoshis have this weird reptile reverse-kermit-the-frog eye thing going on.

I reeeeeeeeally like the design for toads. That's fantastic!

Very different Yoshi.

I like the toads a lot though.

Wow, the toad is very pretty...So pretty I left you a wonderful message. 8D

And interesting concept for an RP, but if there's anything I've learnt during my entire existence is that Me + RP = plot holes and run-on sentences.

TRUE FACT: The toad race is not powered by light magic, but extreme levels of cuteness.

---

...And, because it's cracking me up, here's the tutorial that's being made to show how the roleplay works.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=43078&e=379558

Yes, those are shyguys. No, we don't know what they're actually saying.

I'm betting lolcattese.

Epic. I've done something like that, RPing using comic panels; but this is grand. :P

From the same setting, here's a goomba, spinning yarn with a drop spindle. Possibly the same yarn that the toad is getting tangled up. Friggin' toads.

http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=380819

Teremo goombas are like genderless nomadic hobbit fungi. I wubs them.

Nice!

The shy guys aren't that shy...

But it's cool.

I actually read up on the wiki thing, and think it's a little weird that shy guys refer to their lowest caste as shyguys, yet their old language is some derivative of or at least phonetically similar to Japanese. But I don't know Japanese at all, so maybe it vaguely works? If it doesn't, I mean, you might as well get rid of anything with the "-guy" suffix completely.

Of course, I type all that and then I realise it's called the old language for a reason, even if they still use it for naming people and stuff.

I really like the descriptions of the races anyway, I find them all very fascinating. I think I'll bookmark the thread index and read it a while after things start going down.

I asked Lumi (one of the dudes that started this) and he said the castes were named by the koopas. Only a couple of the castes (http://teremo.pbwiki.com/f/mask%20hierarchy.png) have the -guy suffix, at any rate.

The masked are insane berserker midgets XD

Which is awesome. I'd totally be a Masked if I was in this.

Took me a while to realize there was a specific wikia for this, and had no idea what the ##### you guys were talking about.

I drew the koopa (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=385502) design (think myopic, shark-toothed, notch-eared, spiky-scaly elves that are eight fricking feet tall and will go bat##### berserk if you poke them), and then found I liked the look of them so much that I applied as one (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=392126).

This is exactly characteristic of koopas. CHECK IT OUT GUYS I'M HOLDING THE PIPE RIGHT AT THE RED HOT END, I'M A DAMN BADASS

Then to cleanse the palate, I drew this (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=394992). I think I'm physically incapable of drawing straight cute.

Do you use a mouse for these? Or one of them tablet things? Either way that text is insane.

Tablet. The text takes forbloodyever and makes me crosseyed.

The colors and the faces look great.

Autem chibi:

Of course, now I have to draw everyone else in DrowLove as a chibi too. Hmm.

Also, drew this panel for this thread (http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=23674&e=338478&p=4):

With luck this is the last damn ocean horizon I'm going to have to do.

(Next step: COMPLICATED ROCK FORMATIONS. Bugger. Thank god the underdark is, you know, dark.

lumi colada: he still looks like he's trying to cosplay a dandelion to me
Star Spiritgate: at least he doesn't have the sleeve things
konrii: XD
lumi colada: oh god XD
lumi colada: his outfit makes like, no sense XD
Star Spiritgate: he's a goth flower!
lumi colada: weird custom made crap. He must have walked into the most eccentric tailor in the world and gone "please make me some distinctive robes, I look nice in green."

What've I been up to...

I wrote a lot of froofy poems. They are froofy.

I drew a firemage with a scepter hefty enough to beat someone's face in.

I sketched some of the personnel from the SCP Foundation (http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/):

Could use more tweaking but still. feels good bro

hair needs more color, needs belt.  Otherwise good.

I miss the shoulder pads but I'm glad you got rid of the flowy sleeves.
