Drawing Thread Ahead!

Post by Mithradates »

Here's a digital piece I just did of my character Brae :)

This is honestly my first real attempt at color in digital. I like it!

I like the subtlety with which you have drawn the facial features and the hair. Very good!

Haha, I kinda see the gymnast resemble now that you point out out, but it definitely want an intended inspiration.

She's a witch, and ran around with a horned mask until a DM event she happened to be a part of inspired her to toss it aside for good (or so we think). It was quite emotional, though it's not portrayed as such in the drawing.

Hold onto your skivvies, ladies and gents. I've always thought of this character as a Mr. McSteamy, so I was super excited to draw him.

Here are a few sketches that I'm reposting from the older forum. They're all pretty much me getting acclimated to digital drawing, and most of them are works in progress... that have a good chance of never being completed. Enjoy!

Brae found a letter sealed with a "32" golden wax stamp on her door, and the coded contents opened up some awesome RP. So I wanted to do a quick drawing to commemorate the night of pouring over books and research we rp'd to try and figure out what this letter was about, or who wrote it! :D

Cool insight!
I like a lot the face of Brae on your first draw.
You have a fresh and young drawing style. I like the drafts too.

This is my first attempt at a fully realized digital drawing with foreground, background, and all those things.

Not sure what the policy is on butts... but...

The detaills are neat and the mirror allowing her to watch the viewers is a great concept. Makes the drwaw misterious ;)

No need to be an arse and butt in, there is no need to be anal about this at all.

Mith, since I do not know Brae at all, can you splain the photo? It raises so many questions in my mind. The mirror, the trunk? The skull picture thing?

And don't listen to Mr. Moon (no pun intended) the rear is just fine, hard lines and all.

Hey! So, in this picture I wanted to capture Brae as a character. I think one of the most compelling parts of a character isn't wether they are good or evil, but rather the mundane tasks they are impulsed to do throughout their lives as our little pixelated play things. Brae is a diva, and is quite vain. When out adventuring I cringe when I type "Oh I'm tired, I should take a nap" as something my character would say. Instead I have Brae busy herself reapplying make-up and fussing with her hair. It's much more true to the character, and more entertaining than a 'nap'.

Here she's doing the same but in her apartment in Wharftown. She's applying make-up that is kept in a haphazard manner on the chair, there are dresses slung over things like she can't decide what to wear, and the candles need tending. However- there is something she doesn't think of that waits patiently for her attention. Something that may or may not prove to be an important part of her tumultuous inner turmoil. Brae looks at herself in the mirror and asks "Who am I? Who will I become today? Is it all for naught?"

Behind the beauty lies the chaos.

This sketch was going to be part of an art project that came to a screeching halt after some files were lost.

I've not been diligently drawing these days, so to keep in practice I did this quick quick sketch that most likely won't be finished. The anatomy is horrendous, but here it is.
