Arts! Whee

First, just some quick doodles of Breeze and Iliatelis; Breeze is (intentionally) looking a little ferocious here, so it'd probably be fairly early in her history, before she got all silly and smushy.

She's supposed to be a leeeetle bit more metallic than normal, but not really SHINY silver. Tried to get a little bit of reflectiveness in it... failed. Her feathers also aren't supposed to be outright BLUE, but iridescent, but I need more practice on that too. Not 100% happy with how she looks, but eh, it'll do for now. Gets the idea across anyway.


Iliatelis (or just "Ellis") is a Daavi cob, hence he's more "fluffy" and has smaller ears. Daavi colony is the one cold Kiravai world (everywhere else is at least Earthlike and temperate, if not hot), and everyone who grows up there tends to show signs of it - it stunts the growth of their ears, and an environmental factor lends them darker skintones. (Chicks are a deep bluish-grey colour when they're born, although the silicon in their skin obscures it and so they get paler as they grow up.) His nose is a bit too "round" in this image, but the colour is reasonably accurate (maybe a little too purple, but eh). Not sure if he'll get a "proper" profile yet, or if I'll just tack it on to the end of Breeze's.

"For me? How kind!"

Some minor changes to the last picture; next time I need to remember her eyes are BLUE, not GREEN. ;) Aaahh.


This one was for Danji, but I'm not sure he wants it, any more. :\ Maybe he's had enough free art now. :P


Awww. Breeze and Ellis, all sleepies.

Whee.

Hm. Etellis... didn't he used to be called "Zephyr"? Or is this someone different altogether? (I haven't caught up yet, sorry)

Hm. It feels like your art changed while I was gone - improved, I'd say. It's something about the way the colored pieces look... that, or I have a bad memory. So it could be either or.

Ellis is/was Breeze's psychiatrist, so he's a different character. :) He's a biological Kiravai, as well.

The pieces may look different because I have fewer materials and so I have to work harder on the respective pieces to get them looking halfway presentable, so I guess that must be a good thing. :)

I haven't been online a lot lately, that's why I didn't say anything. And, no, I certainly haven't received a lot of "free art". Heck, I'm still waiting on five commissions that are all at least a month old, some dating back to MFF last year! So, yes, I still want it! ^^

Eh, that was called irony.
"And, no, I certainly haven't received a lot of "free art"."
Well, in the past few days you've recieved a lot more than *I* have, y'know, and a lot more observations of "that's so cool I think I'll draw it". ;)

Depends on your definition of "the past few days". I haven't gotten anything since that one journal entry, which was your head shot and another little head shot by Rob Panda. I'm hardly getting art all over the place like Drayk. XD

...I think you missed my point, which was that "two compared to zero is still a comparative lot". :P
