Description Horrible. Horrible. Title.
This was another half-finished drawing from a month or so ago I never bothered to finish until this morning.




She's not a fan character or anything, but I keep imagining her as some sort of juvenile Control Brain or something. Or mind controller. Controlling something, I dunno!

I experimented a bit with glitter, and oh-boy, do I adore glitter Mainly on her cheeks, chin, the eye-cavity-thingies, and the helmet. I don't get the deal with the antennae, but I imagined them flipped over her face like that. Or the halo. Just something surreal and pretty really!

Self Critique - I personally loathe drawing realistic mouths, and I still am not getting that lusture I was hoping for. I need to work on shading faces a little more, and I also worked out since Irkens don't have noses, they wouldn't have philtrums, meaning they wouldn't have the mini "indent" on their top lip. Gwaaaaaahhh. Oh well.
I need to try and get the nerve to try more masculine faces. Drawing guys.. I find that embarrassing still, I suppose

Oh, I also got lazy on the shading and highlights and didn't bother checking for how things reflected and bounced. I need to go study anyway.

in the background I mean. Did really good job on the background looks almost like the Irken is in some sort of long forgotten place with the faded letters on the wall giving it really old & forgotten look to it. Nice Work!

Theres allot of shading in this 1 as well as what looks almost like well blended and partially faded inter-grated shape designs....Excellent Enigma!

Thank you very much! I never really tried much with Tattoos, so this borg-like Irken figure seemed the best to try this out on.
Thank you once again

This is interesting nonetheless I thought it was an Irken with an invisible hat or something like that. This is really amazing though, it's very glittery and shiny and it's just wow! It's also very dynamic which I really love! he lips give off this frosty lustre and so does the whole deviation!

I don't understand why a lot of female artists have trouble drawing male characters. Here's a tip, masculine faces are rigid and so is the whole of the male anatomy, it can be easily constructed by using straight lines especially for the face and torso. Drawing guys isn't embarrassing to me . To turn this deviation into a male all you need are straighter lines for the face and the cheeks would not be as round and wouldn't need as much shading as this one.

But really I thoroughly enjoy the technique you've used here I really don't know how you do it! But I've just noticed something at the bottom of the anttenae those pink bands, they seem to be affected slightly by the digital effects. No matter it is a very well done piece all in all!

enigmatia In reply to The-Laughing-Lunatic [2010-07-24 23:26:03 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, I wonder what the point of an invisible hat is for
I've been sleeping in a very uncomfortably cold room every day since the cold snap came in XD My inspiraton for all these frosty-cold pictures lately maybe?

I think it depends on who you are.
But for me.. well, I am quite shy in real life and make sure I don't catch myself looking at guys for too long, so I can't really reference much from them.
Ahh, I see Rigidness, straighter lines. I'll go for it!

You mean the pink-bead things, they're less detailed or something? I hope they don't look like I cellshaded them, because I coloured them much like I coloured everything else, but I wanted to get a different type of material to it.
Thank you very much! For something I had little faith in a month ago, I'm glad to please, myself even

The-Laughing-Lunatic In reply to enigmatia [2010-07-25 09:12:51 +0000 UTC]

I think that may be your influence not so much as inspiration , possibly though. Males have a 'V' shape torso and often small hips, their shoulders are also broad. Lanky male characters save you from proper male anatomy. Their rigid-ness saves a lot of time and is quite easy to do.

It does appear (to me) that they are coloured differently from the drawing .

Welcome

Alright, alright, influence
Oh yes, I know about that hip thing. I'm so tempted to draw hips at times ebcause I just looooove curving lines, it's like with hair. I'll try to get out of that habbit

Ahh, I see. Maybe, smoother? They're very small and hard to fit too much textural shading in.. Ah, I won't dwell on it too much ^^'

The-Laughing-Lunatic In reply to enigmatia [2010-07-26 12:16:38 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but it is quite strange though the hip thing. It makes me giggle .

I think smoother, yes. That's okay it's only a tiny isty bitsy part of the deviation. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed.
