Gravia - For Ravinous by ~Daggerfell:iconDaggerfell:

Artist's Comments

It was on a whim. I was browsing the Arts forum and came across Ravinous' sketch-- After reading the character's biography, I was inspired to do this fanart. :)

I sort of guessed on some colors. ^^; And the wings... Well, I'm not good with those. Sorry Gravia! You won't be able to fly in the way I constructed your wings. ^^;

Anyway... It was fun to do. Fastest composition of this size to date: Three and a half hours, perhaps?

Completed in OpenCanvas 4

DUDE, THAT IS AWESOME! XD

No really I'm always glad to see how other people are drawing my characters. So thanks Daggerfall, I've always enjoyed your work, you have a real talent when it comes to character art. Big thumbs up to yah! ^_^

PS: segzhan is doing one on Gion and Rannge from DEEM right now. The line art looks really good already. >.>

Everything looks good. I like the facial expession especially. I don't know how you colour anymore, but in some cases, especially more cartoony art I find it beneficial to let some of the line art show through for more definition. Also shading with a base colour and just using the slider to add in black and white works great for a back coat. To get the real darks and lights though try going over them with pure black and pure white. Just dont press so hard, and use the watercolor tool. It makes for some great sheen. Ciao. Yer awesome Dagg ^^

Well I spoke to you already but just wanted to say thanks :) Putting in the heavy black in the wings made it pop out a lot more than it is now... Will have to keep that in mind whenever I draw Rik. :)

Woah! Kite is on fire with the art. :) I especially like how you did his arms, and the wings. Wings are good for Starlit's health, dontchya know?

I like those borders you're adding in to the finished piece. It gives a sense of definition, especially when there is no specific background. Spiffy!
:icondaggerfell:
Not when stretching them has a chance to cause irreperable damage to your bones and muscles. :P

Pabloano helped me out with it earlier; perhaps when I draw another winged subject I'll be able to put it to use. :)

Arara... No chance I can do as good...

Sorry, Rav... ;.;
