Ooooh, Sannox, that is really REALLY good. You need to draw more; it's hard to believe that you don't.



Ears are overrated (hah, not really!)

I will take this as a timely moment to link some expressionistic Zevran pinup chestiness, though in the wake of something much, much cooler ;_;

Is big and so visually vague that nobody will know he's naked.

SEE WE CAN ALL DRAW LIKE CRAYONS <3

Ejoslin, didn't people used to have the crazy notion that Alistair's hairstyle was unique to him? And yet of all people to share it...


Herren, Cammen and Bhelen off the top of my head.

That's because we discovered that Bhelen's yet another Theirin bastard, remember? Image IPB

Sannox, I really like it! Don't worry about the coloring and things, just tell people it's a "style" and make it sound cool and people will lap it up. XD Really, though, please draw more. <3

Inspired by the artists here, I have tried to colour in that picture of Zevran and Rinna that I tried to draw a few days ago.  I mentioned that I've hardly drawn anything since the '70s for a very long time, which explains a lot. 

My Zevran is special because he has no ears, unlike all those ear-endowed Zevrans that other people draw.  (IEars = too squiggly and difficult.  And where exactly do they go, anyway? I'll try later).   I know that the colouring in looks like it was done by a four year old with blunt crayons.   I can't get the hang of it, but I'm having a lot of fun and practicing.  Why are his face and hair such strange colours?  I don't honestly know.  Everything on my computer is so small and I think I need new glasses.  

Aaw, that's charming! :wub: You did an ear for Rinna - there is no need to do all the details, just a hint of shape, or some skin color visible between hair (just like Rinna has). Zevran looks like himself, the profile face shapes are quite good. Don't be shy about that, I assure you there is much worse stuff at deviantart :)

I endorse this approach.

Seriously, make more, it's so fun and I don't wanna say 'light' which sounds stupid, but it flows really goddamn well.  I'd wear it.

Damn that Maric and his studly ways *shakes fist*

But the canon will be Alastair/Anora having no heirs and Endrin Jr. taking the throne in both Orzammar and Ferelden.

Omg, I like your style! I can't paint. The size of the picture actually makes it pretty impressive - like when you look at a piece at gallery and stand to close, lol.

Didn't you know?  Maric spent a lot of time in Orzammar.  Endrin Jr. is actually Maric Jr.

Crap, aren't half-dwarves larger?  THIS WILL NEVER WORK.  *Heartbroken*

edit:  Thanks, Minaleth.  I'm actually really jealous of people who make things look...like actual things, but I think it's the best I can do, big, messy, and overbearing :D  <3

Yes but they were constrained by default body models that could not portray his largeness! It must be true!

I like it! The coloring being choppy like that makes it look a bit like they're in the middle of some fog. Or steam. :lol:

It should be definitely the steam, in bathhouse, with tubes, hot water and everything :wizard:

Yes, I really like it and it doesn't look like a crayon drawing!  Is that a Zorro/Zevran Z on his chest?

I was under the impression that it was the haze of ~love~

Cause, you know ;_;

AND YES.  IT IS Z FOR ZEVRAN.  NOT...well...maybe Zorro too.  Fine :)  BTW, Sann, you should see me with charcoal pencils.  I literally hold them head-on perpendicular to the page and scribble.  It is so liberating!!~

Thanks for your comments. I want to try to finish the picture. I still have to do minor things like give him a hand. And a body. And the ear, of course (thank goodness I can only see one side of his head).



I'm really, really struggling to do things on the computer. Not that I'd do any better off the computer, but at least I'd be able to see where the end of the pencil/brush was. It's a lot of fun, though.

I do love your piece. <3

Charcoal's one of my favorite things to work with. You really do feel free when you just start scribbling madly on the page, yet somehow it seems to bring things together better than other media.

Er, yeah, completely un-Zevran related, but it shows how I like to handle charcoal: Link.

Haha, I'm struggling to figure out computer art as well :D
We should definitely share insight as we trudge along this messy road!  Lots of layers, lots of Ctrl-Z IMO.  Can't wait to see more of what you draw, btw!

Awesome, Nonvita!  We have a (vaguely) similar approach I think.  I use a lot of lines.

All these talented people. I am impressed. Gah, Conzuela, that is beautiful. People talk about paint and charcoal and pencils... Well, I DO get crayons! *sigh* but now that my kids have outgrown coloring, I no longer feel artistic.

If you're not feeling artistic, my biggest piece of advice is just to do it.  Like, find a piece of napkin and a pencil and scribble.

The more you do that, the better it feels.  Just remembering what it's like to have something in your hand is really helpful at least for me, and then getting into practising and such comes nearly naturally with a *bit* of force, haha.  Perhaps your kids have outgrown coloring, but maybe that means someday you can draw with them in other media XDD  OOH YOU COULD BUY THEM ACRYLICS.  Oh hell yes.  Or even, like, some runny silly tempera paints.  Probably a better, safer idea!

I love little kid art supplies.

You mod games. Edit: That is artistic.

On a similar note, I used to go to a special art class when I was young (13-15) and that was where I first realized just how much I fail at painting. Those art lessons were a good place to sleep though.

Whenever I've had to wear ID that *wasn't* some form of official security badge, I've always drawn one in crayon. Complete with a stick-figure "photo" with brown hair sticking up in all directions from the scalp, and my name misspelled comically and with at least one random capitalized letter and at least one letter reversed.

The one I have in my wallet even has glitter glued on it. XD

Edit: I've shown it alongside my ID to total strangers before, the way my wallet's setup when I open to my driver's license my "real" ID is next to it.

:lol:

Seriously, it's like if functional art got a digital makeover and instead of being furniture or jewelry it was something 50 times better >.>

It's one thing to do awesome work, but it's another to do awesome work FOR other people.  <3

I do bug fixes! Charsen makes art (yes, sexy things and so-not-sexy things are both artistic)! I do need to play more with the cutscene editor.



I do like drawing, though. For my own amusement, and the amusement of others who see it and realize it was drawn by someone over the age of 4! *grin* I am really impressed, though, by what people make here. Both in writing and in pictures. <3 it so much!

You know, considering the size of this thread I am wondering how did Zevran ever lose to Loghain my poll? Sure it was by just 1 vote, but still.

Well, I made the silly mistake (like so many others here, apparently XD) of trying to do a digital piece. It will be done in approximately 2 months and will be nothing special, but I'm damn well determined to finish the thing!



(In the meantime, the people who are actually good at art will create dozens of drawings and other pieces that will be absolutely wonderful. <3)

Yes, we have a lot of artistic ability on this thread, both in drawing and writing. I draw a pretty dashing stick figure, if I say so myself.
