Description
homg. What are you doing here? Go look at the prettier ref. [link] cBIt's a big file; download at your own risk.
A ref for Kaiz, so whoever wants to draw her for my contest can. :]
There's some more information not on the ref that may be helpful:
She is 8ft 9in to the shoulder.
Her eyes are crystalline.
Her mane and forelock can flip to either side
The markings are the same on each side
She's the childhood friend of Xyrrus.
She is 23 years old, which is young for her kind
Kaiz is very laid-back and relaxed.
I decided not to put color samples here... my laptop displays colors funny, so I'm not going to bother with them.
Just remember that her body is a very light peach and the markings are orange.
Thank you, for the grunge brushes. [link]
This is the ref where symmetry died.

I actually like the sketchiness of this one better

OHGOD ITS SO OLD. xD
The other one is still sketchy! But less field-journal-y.
Now I kinda wanna make ref sheets again.

Doooo eet! Doooo et!
You know on the right side of the page that shows a few icons of more of the artist's work? I totally use that to randomly flip through your pictures whenever your new work pops up in my watch box.

Will do! I might as well make some ref sheets for Yeka and Tamara and whats-his-face and revamps of old characters.
That thing always annoys me because it shows work from 2009 or older. xD

Only from back then? I see some of your new work there too o.o;

Lol I shouldn't even be here on dA till I finish the novella which is kicking me in the butt. x____x And my friend emailed me her edits on just the first page of the first chapter and it's so full of red edits it's not even funny. @_@ Over half the page is fixed grammar, fixed retard-sentences, and her commentary and I'm looking at this thinking, "damn, I suck at this." xDD If only I could make a graphic novel instead! ;_; It'd be so much better. )':
BUT I still have confidence my story will be the most well-written in the class cuz I think I'm the only one who uses a beta reader (or maybe it's cuz I'm the only one who needs the beta reader)

Go finish that novella, gal! Haha, sometimes I love those red edits. Other times, when I'm swamped with a bunch of other people who want crap from me it stresses me out.
Ooo, you should try a graphic novel! I started on and I liked the art and perspective practice but it....kinda fell apart I'll post a few pages of it sometime in the far future xD
Well at least you care to edit and check you work. Some of my workshop classes had submissions where the author obviously just handed us a pile of notes or really wasn't that good....in a Ficton II class -__- Power forth!

She made some really good edits. xD I took a closer look at her commentary and I'm on the right track. Her thoughts pretty much matched what I had in mind.
I'm so excited for it. 8D We we we so excited. xD I'm thinking of joining the OCT, so over the summer I'll be posting comics for each round. :> If I don't get far in it, I have other ideas I will illustrate.
OH MAN I remember my first attempt at a graphic novel. xD I still have the sketches, cuz no matter how bad I drew, I can't throw away art (which frustrates my family).
I'm so perfectionist about my art and writing. x_x It has to be perfect, or else it's just crud to me.

Always good to have a beta reader who can grasp your vision (otherwise it's just plain frustrating x__x)
Oooo, I took a look and I'll start paging through their stuff soon. Good luck and I can't wait to see!!!
I still have the original sketch book of mine xD And I don't throw it away either! I love paging through old stuff (plus it makes ya feel better about your improvement when you have stuffs to compare!). I have no idea where I got the idea for it but man x__x I loved doing it xD Maybe I'll turn it into a SHORT story/comic later. Much later
I definitely understand that but I've learned to work with letting a few things slide or else I never get anything done or started for that matter That's just me and you're just you....
......AND WE'RE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY!!!
Okay stopping weirdness xD I'm in the middle of an all-nighter

Yeah, it is. I had two other friends look at the beginning of the first chapter and one was hooked and really wanted to know more about the world I designed, but my other friend read about how the magic works (condensed explanation: insects that store magic in their bodies) and she was like, Ew that's kinda creepy. xD but 2 out of 3 people REALLY like it. Don't really know what was bugging my third reader, besides the bugs, that is...
Lol I looked through their stuff over and over and I'm really excited to explore what happens to my half formed ideas, or what happens when my characters discover they're in a story. And not only does this character know he's in a story, he knows how to access other stories and set plots into motion.
I feel so good after looking at my old stuff. xD I especially keep my old concept art cuz it's so much fun.
learned to work with letting a few things slide or else I never get anything done
Yep, that's pretty much what this novella has taught me. The last half of chapter 1 REALLY BUGS me but I just let it go and handed it to my beta reader to fix. xD;
Hahaha I'm starting my all-nighter now, WOOOO!

That's great Oooo the insects thing sounds really cool! It's like having little antibodies (i know that's not the right word, damnit biology memory, work!) that you pass to offspring
Hmmmm. half-formed ideas are fun to play with.
xD Same here!
Yeah. Sometimes I'll come back to a work 3 years later and look at the trouble part and go "OH I could have just done THIS instead!" and fix it while grumbling about 'why couldn't i have thought of that before???'
Woooo! Good luck!

Thanks.
Yep, sometimes when I'm stuck on something, I will take one of my old half-developed characters and make something cool out of it. xD
That happens to me so often it's not even funny. xD

I like the colors you choose for her. The wing design is interesting and the feathers are neat.

I thought I should have character with soft, orange colors. XD I have too many blue ones.
I'm glad there are a few people who like the wings and feathers. I like them a lot myself. X3

I donΒ΄t see that you have sooo many blue characters... for a "unknowing all characters" person like me you have just ... two blue characters.

Khezix In reply to Finion591 [2008-09-19 22:39:01 +0000 UTC]
Wellll. You're right. XD I only have 3 blue characters... Nila, Xyrrus, and Xyon. Somehow, it just seems like a lot, but when I add it up it's not that much.

File size make computer stop working!!! Are you secretly a computer killer?
For some reason, I really like the wings, but I'm not sure why. And the details- they're so less but they're enough for the creature. And I think the symmetry looks fine

Holy@#$%ksjdQWERTY. YOU CHANGED YOUR ICON. XDD
Hey, I warned you that it was big. And yes. I'm a serial compooper-killer, then I use mah 1337 skillz to haxx j00r c0mput3r. >D
I'm quite fond of her wings myself. X3
I like details. :3 But I didn't get as detailed as my other characters. I couldn't really think of anything else that would match her theme.
No, the symmetry died. Believe it. XDD

Yeah, I'll probably only keep it for like, 2 days and then change it back It's weird, I don't feel like it's me answering, I feel like I'm on a spam account or something...

Don't change it back or I'll haxx your account and put in an icon that I made. D:<
Lul, I'm so used to changing icons that I always feel like me. XD You need to change more often. I like I do. D:<
