Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
Fel,
Does a werecat's eyes have irises that completely cover the eye or are they just human eyes with vertically slitted pupils? The same goes for Kerri's eyes. I need those details before I can do another sketch of either of them.
Also, I read Allia's description in the Tower, but it doesnt say if Allia has pointy ears or not. Not like an elf's but I'm just wondering if I should give her human ears. *shrugs*
I'm going all out for this thing, hopefully it won't end in disappointment.

Kerri's eyes are human-like, just amber colored.
Allia's ears are pointed. They're also the same size as human ears. Don't forget she has four-fingered hands.
Just another guy from the shallow end of the gene pool.

Found these posted the other day: http://insertcopyhere.wordpress.com/200 ... r-pencils/
Thought the 'cat' might be somewhat relevant for reference... although, obviously, different ears, etc.

Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
I still say look to Felicia from DarkStalkers for the general were-cat look

When Fel described were-cats, this is is what I think of, generally.

Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
Now that is pretty damn impressive. I love the shading and details you've done. Tail's a little long though, i think. About twice as long as it should be. But i don't mind, i like it purely for the effect.
Have any galleries around? ArcticFox turns up a lot of information on arctic foxes, but not much on artists.

Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
Very impressive, but go more Nordic in the face, and wider shoulders. Remember that Tarrin heavily favors his mother's Utgardt features, which are Nordic in comparison, meaning wide shoulders and prominent muscles. and cut the tail at the beginning of the second curve

Don't worry I haven't forgotten Allia's fingers, but what I did forget was to ask the exact style and cut of Allia's desert garb. Enlighten me, please. Also, I don't think Allia carried a weapon, did she? Or was her weapon the Dance and nothing else?
Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
twin short swords if i am remembering right
Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
Yeah, I see I did get carried away a bit with the tail Thanks to all for comments and constructive critics. I dont have gallery yet but plan to make deviant art account at some point when i have enough stuff to show.Weresmilodon wrote:Now that is pretty damn impressive.

Right now working on Jegojah pic... close-up
Gotta try spending the time somehow while waiting Fel's next chapter
Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
That's actally very, very close to my image of him.
But like they said up there, tail's too long, and he's like a Viking. Broad shoulders, ripped abdominals, corded arms, thick legs (which you got just right proportionally) strong jaw, resilient cheekbones, straight nose, and piercing eyes, very powerful-looking yet retaining his sleekness. The way to describe Tarrin's facial features is a "handsome brute," chiseled, strong features that are attractive in a masculine sense.
The feet are EXACTLY right. Those are Tarrin's feet right down to the smallest detail. You even remembered the 5 toes.
One other very minor cosmetic detail: the chain of his shaeram is just a tiny bit longer, and his brands are more to the outsides of his shoulders, but the brands as you drew them are correct.

Thank you for those points. I shall make those adjustments on my next pic of himFel wrote:That's actally very, very close to my image of him.

In the mean time here is my take on Jegojah. I drew the background for effects sake though you could say its the necromantic aura about him
Re: Sennadar Character Sketches
I havent had much practice drawing females lately and even less ethereal beauties like Allia but I gave it a shot. Allia is described pretty good at the start chapter 8 of Tower of Sorcery and so I used that as base and added the twin shortswords and the sash. Had to guess about boots though... what is the proper selani footwear? Gotta grumble a bit about baggy clothes though, drawing ethereal beauties is much easier the less clothes there is
