Description
Angel, my Shadowrun character, all coloured.So, coloured pencils with a crappy pastel background, because I'm lazy... Probably about 10 - 15 hours worth of colouring, though.
Now available as a print here [link]

Your colored pencil work is so smooth, unlike mine. This a brilliant piece! Your style in clothing suits her well!

Not always! This was my first foray into Bristol Board terrotory, which I have found suits coloured pencils wonderfully (because it is so smooth), and is heavy-duty enough to withstand my heavy handedness with my pencils.
Thank you! It always helps to draw characters close to your heart...makes you want to do a half-reasonable job!

I'm pretty hard with mine as well. I guess I'll have to try this type of paper sometime. Card stock seems to work quite well too. I love drawing my character Elvandia. She means so much to me!

Thank you so much! She's quite special to me (I'm playing her at the moment....I think my DM is determined to kill her, though!!
) so she warranted that extra bit of care...

WrensHollow In reply to Mistresselysia [2004-10-26 00:12:03 +0000 UTC]
LOL! I've done that a couple of times in a campaign - created a really detailed character portrait with a cute expression, and asked the DM "now would you really do that to *this* face"?? LOL It's harder for some DMs to be callused about killing off a PC when they actually have to look them in the eye first..

wow hun! this is one of your best methinks! Only crit I have is her cleavage seems a litle too sharp, maybe some blending there? otherwise, she's awesome, te coloring is solid, and she's a hotty! Love the hair!

Mistresselysia In reply to Robbie-Powell [2004-09-09 13:51:43 +0000 UTC]
thanks!
I agree with the cleavage thing - initially, she was holding her knee up against her chest (hence the squash-age) but then as the pic evolved, she seemed to loosen up...I need to work on that (and, err, finishe the bottom of her boot (ha haa! got cut off by the scanner, and now I can't be bothered to finish it...me so bad... It's actually a shame that her feet have got cut off, becasue the pose makes more sense when you can see them!) But I'm pretty happy with the way she turned out - I looked at some of my earlier attempts at drawing her (from last year) and all I can think is 'what they hell were you thinking?!? That is just soo CRAP!!!'. But I have kept them in my scraps...makes me remember and is a good comparision!

The boots also look fantastic. Great job with the shine

I think the best quote I ever heard about roleplaying is that it is 'for people that are more interested in having a laugh than looking cool.' So true! I know rping isn't a cool thing to do, but for one afternoon a week, I laugh so much it hurts. And that can't be a bad thing!

It's funny, because people have all this 'D&D is evil' thing...but we've never played an evil party, ever! We always end up doing the right thing... It's a shame that rpging is viewed as such, because it's really all about bonding with people you like. My rgping buddies have helped me get over so much over the years (we've played together for 5 years now) and we are a bit like a big old family. It's really nice!

you did such a good job of coloring her... I'm so jealous!!!

Purple plays a huge part of Angels life...everything matches; her hair, her lipstick, her eyes (they are cybereyes, not her real ones...
), her nails...they all match her purplr sportscar!
Well, a girl likes to coordinate!
Thank you!
I don't know exactly how I came to this result; it just seemed to...happen. But I'm happy - that's my Angel!

Ahhh! Cars! I could barely draw the gun...me and machines don't mix!!
Seriously, though, maybe that isn't a bad idea...not that I know what her car looks like, just that it has two seats and other (male!) party members always want to drive it...

You should start taking commissions now! Apparently time off work turns you into some kinda master artist. So yeah… ditch the job and start in with the commissions!

Or go part time...yeah....that might work...
I'm not entirely sure how this happened, it jut did. At one point, she just looked a mess. And then...oh yes, it's Angel!
Now I need to try to transfer some of this over to my other assorted projects...
