I've submitted this to threadless as a t-shirt design, and I would greatly appreciate a positive score. All the colors are official LEGO brick colors pushed to white and grey to simulate the effects of sun bleaching, as a subtle reference. mini/smile

If you don't have a threadless account, you should absolutely make one, it's a great website.

Re: Drawings and other Art

I drew a rough sketch of Riddlestack, one of the main characters from Riigo-Faloo:

Riddlestack is a jolly elf wizard in his 70s (which is around about middle-aged in wizard years).
He began his magical training at a very young age and is most skilled in the sort of magic which is useful for adventuring.  Thus faloovian heroes are often quite keen upon having him along with him.
He is a close friend of the great goblin Professor Aso Kroysterhargan with whom he defeated an evil sorceress called the Dark Horse.

Re: Drawings and other Art

Very intriguing, Squid. What are the origins of the calligraphy?

Re: Drawings and other Art

The writing is something I use called Rimtext, I typically prefer to use it rather than the alphabet when writing notes on things or in almost any context where I am writing stuff down.
There are 34 characters in Rimtext rather than 26.  Each character stands for a unique sound, and cannot be used for anything else, thus you will never have something like a strange letter which makes weird sounds under a special context or something of that sort.
The writing there says Riddlestack, but in Rimtext it's really much more like Ridilstak, but with special characters for the vowels to note that they are short vowels.

Also, I've drawn the third Faloovian slenderman, the Observer:

https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/t1.0-9/q77/s720x720/10300862_846894968658018_4097237421710840732_n.jpg

Unlike the other two I've drawn, the Observer is more neutral.  Rather than using his magical eye drawings for good or evil, he just wishes to watch the world.  By drawing his eye anywhere he can see out of them, but he doesn't have any eyes on his face (or lack thereof).

I made a digital drawing of a LEGO head.

Re: Drawings and other Art

Amazing painting skills there, Hoogle. Are you doing a project on surrealism, or something?

Re: Drawings and other Art

Thanks and no project or anything, Its just something I've started in the last year for fun (I should specify it's digital and done in photoshop I am a terrible painter in real life)

Re: Drawings and other Art

Squid, that looks like it would make an awesome desktop background. RP, I absolutely love the first two; though I'm not sure about the third, it doesn't seem up to the visual and thematic quality of the first two. mini/smile

Re: Drawings and other Art

Those look amazing, Hoogle. I especially love the concept and visuals in the first one, and the second frame has wonderful composition. Beautiful work on the colors of the third one, both the sand and the ocean look spectacular. I'd love to see more!

Re: Drawings and other Art

They look pretty neat! I tend to do matte and portrait paintings in real life, never digital, but this could pass!

Re: Drawings and other Art

I'd love to see some of your mattepaintings. It's something I want to get into

How did you learn to digital paint so well?

Show me how!

Re: Drawings and other Art

I drew another character from Riigo-Faloo:

https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5579/14794919400_cf012af500_b.jpg

He's a vampire from the House of Krim who becomes a relatively important character somewhere along the series.
There are several vampires houses in the realm of Riigo-Faloo, most of them rather nasty, however, Krim is one of the better ones.  But most Faloovians still distrust all vampires anyway, even Krims.

Like all vampires in the story, Vortigon is incapable of lying or forgetting anything, but like most other sorts of vampires, he has a dire weakness to sunlight, garlic, fire, and being pierced by wood.

I had several vampire characters who needed designs so today I just decided to draw a random vampire and see which character it fit best.

The special black cape on his shoulder is a specific sort of Faloovian clothing called a crow's wing.

Re: Drawings and other Art

I was wondering where this thread went.

http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/232/1/b/flower_w__some_shading_by_itwashissled-d7vx2tw.png

http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2014/231/1/a/mario_drawing_by_itwashissled-d7vsk0b.png

I've been drawing pretty regularly since I got home, and these are the results of the past two days. More to come! I should note that the Mario drawing is based off of a render I found on Google, but the flower is legit.

Re: Drawings and other Art

Squid: Reminds me of something from Game of Thrones.  I don't know why, given that I've never watched the show, but it does.  I like the detailing on the coat.  By the way, why do Faloovians distrust vampires if they can only tell the truth?

Littlebrick: Nice flower, although I feel the shading is a bit off.

Anyway, what with this thread being bumped, I figured I might as well post this, which I made a few weeks ago:

Re: Drawings and other Art

The cloak design looks pretty cool.  I'm not sure what to make of the head though.  I have trouble telling what it's supposed to be and it looks a little small.

I actually based it somewhat off of Game of Thrones.  I recently watched most of it with my family (only most of it because we skipped a lot of it).  Whilst watching I became greatly impressed with the doublet designs and become quite displeased that I did not own one myself nor could I buy one to wear since it's not a general fashion in our time.  I'm particularly fond of the doublets oft worn by Joffrey and Tyrion which use mirrored fabric on either side of the doublet with certain fancy patterns and details and I wanted to try to draw something of that sort.

why do Faloovians distrust vampires if they can only tell the truth?

Vampires in Riigo-Faloo all speak with unquestionable honesty, however, many of their intentions are still quite villainous.  They'll do horrible things to people, yes, but they won't lie about it.  Many great conflicts in Riigo-Faloo were stirred up by vampires, and many a goblin hero have fallen to vampires.  The House of Krim makes little difference most of the time since it is a small house with little power.  It used to be the greatest house of all until the downfall of the realm of Akseber, but few Krims managed to escape.  Vorkroft is another house which is not necessarily evil, however, they aren't exactly good either.  So they also do little to help improve the image of vampires.
