It's been a while since I posted any fan art work.
I have something wonderful and incomplete to show you all.
It's taken from a scene in my fan fiction, Destrudo, which I am much to scared to even link.
Enough of the blather:
The work in progressI hope the waistcoat looks velvety enough.
Behind you-know-who is my roleplaying character, Walter. This pic has a long backstory. Whooie.
As I finish this up, I'll keep y'all updated.
...I said "y'all"...

Hey, that could be neat. I wont say more, because one should NEVER give critic to an unfinnished work

That jacket sure looks velvety enough, nice work :thumbs up:

*hugs Zarr and sends her some warm coffee* Hullo there ! I can see that you've finishing poor ol' Sheo... slieves and just about entire shirt look great. just be careful with the face and the hair - that's the tricky part.

No.
The hair and metallic parts are the hard part.
Metal is such a witch with a b to do in GIMP.

Getting there..I'll make the transition to his skin and facial hair more natural. Don't worry. I couldn't be a***d to do it today. I just wanted to drop it after 9 hours of laboring.
Edit: Sorry about double post.

That's coming together really nicely. Well done Zarr.

Haven't worked on it too recently. I've been busy with my fan fic.

Great job on the belt, the belt buckle (awesome, looks quite realistic) and the knife's blade... the belt buckle owns entire picture. It's possibly the greatest detail (right after that shading on the sleeve) in entire picture.
I feel humbled. And also, much less tempted to do similar work now, after seeing this... -_-

The knife is crap.
It's not right. I'll have to fix it sometime.
Right now my creativity is just "...".

Wow! I really love the dark shades you put in there. It's creepy, but in a cool, amazing -looking way.

That is some excellent work. I love the atmosphere and detail you managed to work into the picture- great textures and shadows.
Zarrexaij

Thanks.

As you can see, I've been working on it for a while.
I had to use a reference for the knife. I still didn't get it right, and probably won't no matter how many attempts I make. The knife makes me so sad. Compared to the gold belt, it's just

Again, I am left lacking proper words. I'll only say that, no matter how Zarrexaij self-criticises her own work, this comes close to perfect. The 3D aspect of the picture is almost feelable, as if one can touch it; shading is something I couldn't do even if I had all the time in the world to learn -_- and the atmosphere of the picture is so overfilled with anxiety that can suffocate you if you stare at it for too long (poor PWNED Sheo...). I am humbled. Please, throw away all my swords, silly axes and other nasty instruments of destruction, and give praise to the One who really deserves it.

You are too kind, Mil

I'll be doing more, I promise.
You just might not see something for a while. I go back to school in August and will be mucho busy.
I plan on doing a GIMP drawing of Walter soon... with his face showing!

You can see Walter's lower half in that art piece. Yes, the dude in the blue robe. He's an Imperial/Breton scholar who's a bit... well... anti-social.

I'll do more, as soon as I get finished with my monster of a fan fiction.

When should we start expecting this fan fiction? Is it going to be revealed after completion or in parts, like a work in progress?
Zarrexaij
Jul 16 2006, 01:53 AM
I'm afraid that my fan fiction might be pushing it with a few mature subjects.
I doubt I would be appreciated even if I linked the sucker, which is as fanfiction.net.
It's a chapter away from completion.

Would your pen name in this forum be the same as that website's? That would make my search easier, please and thank you.

Yuis, it's the same pen name in this forum as on the website.

Cool, I'll make sure to check it out sometime then. Can't wait to find out about what these "mature subjects" are about. Guess it's a good thing I'm not too squimish.

I completed Destrudo today. </endofftopicness>
I'll begin on a Clive Barker/Silent Hill inspired drawing tomorrow. It'll be with GIMP. Expect it to be in a different style than the ol' pic of Sheogorath and Walter.

Sorry folks, it's Sheogorath AGIN.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is kingI suck at wet things. No way around it.
Been drinking of doing my Silent Hill fanfic character in GIMP. Something not Sheogorath for once.

Oh, wow! The shading is really, really good!
You said you used GIMP for this? It looks almost 3-D---it looks really suspenseful and creepy. It's really nice!
