Description Wooh~ Been a while since I've finished colouring a picture.


Anyway, this is my amazeballs character Ruso. He doesn't take shit (especially from me) and once when I got his left shoulder injured in battle, he turned around and hurled it right back. Next morning I woke up with a sore left shoulder that impeded my weightlifting for the next few days. True story, I still don't know how he did it.


~ Original Sketch


Please ! Also, any criticism is welcome (of drawing. Not character. )

Ruso causes my injuries.So last Thursday I took a spear to the eye. I didn't have time to post about it because I went to camp straight after and then moved into my friend's house, and blah blah.
But yeah. I got stabbed by a spear while training and now I have a blood spot on my eyeball.
I remember posting maybe a year ago that Ruso's injuries get reflected on to me. I can't find where I posted it, either on a journal or in the description of a picture, but I did post it.
In 2014 I drew this:

This is where I first decided Ruso would have a big wound on his left shoulder. Shortly afterwards, my left shoulder started aching for no apparent reason and it fucked up my weightlifting for a while.
Sometime later I drew this:

And I decided that Ruso had a permanent limp on his leg. I ended up actually getting a limp on that same leg for a while. I think I got hit by a sword. I actually don't remember.
Then last Thursday I got stabbed in the eye during traini <--- It's more than that. He also got me stabbed in the eye and cut on the leg. Also when I killed Svala, he killed my kitten. So don't fuck with that guy.

Thank you!

This chap looks like went shopping with Ezio to get this hood.  I like the strokes in the background and how the make interesting foliage. Great colour scheme - He's like a cameleon - he could easily disappear into the background should he want to.

The dry brush effect (or digital texture?) gives the clothes some real roughness, which seems to match this character.

LOL!! Nice way of putting it. But I'd actually designed the hood before I heard of Assassin's Creed I swear.
Thank you so much!

It was a self-created brush. [On GIMP if you copy something, you can use it as a brush. I just drew a grid and used that.]

Thanks for the comments!

Ah I see!  I use Photoshop these days (I used to use gimp some years ago though). I'm sure Photoshop has an easy way to do it too so I'll look into that. Give me some sort cuts for backgrounds

my-sword-is-bigger In reply to alicelights [2014-12-04 01:53:19 +0000 UTC]

Photoshop is too complicated for dummies like me.
Yeah, there probably is a way. .. somehow. Consult Youtube

Shortcuts as in how to do them, or jut how to do them lazily? Well I guess those two questions can be answered at once, since mine can get pretty lazy.
Primary shortcut: lots of sky, a tiny bit of horizon. [That might not work for your setting, though, considering there are buildings everywhere..]
2nd shorcut: Sketch 'em. Use a bigger brush to draw objects the further away they are. This gives your picture a sense of depth and focus. I learnt the 'blur effect' off Charcoalfeather (I came to your profile from hers lol). She does the effect by blurring the background afterwards, but I just draw mine blurred in the first place. Personal preference.
Example of sketchy background effect .

On GIMP I always use a brush that emulates a real paintbrush, to give the picture more texture.

… Anyways … I didn't mean to dump you with an essay there. XD Sorry about that.

No problem! I will remember these ideas!

I'm doing a background now where blurr might work well. I'll give it a go!

lol I didn't make him camouflage on purpose, it just turned out that way because I seem to have a colour preference. But anyways, thanks for commenting!

Question; if this is some sort of character you've made up, then how can he physically hurt you so that you can't lift weights?

my-sword-is-bigger In reply to Scr1b3 [2014-04-22 01:19:37 +0000 UTC]

I. Have. No. Idea.
I just like to say it was him because it's fun to delude myself Cos the thing is I don't know why my shoulder was hurting at all, and that was the first thing I thought of, and I pretty much loved the idea.
Either that or I'm crazy and wanted it to happen too much? lol

my-sword-is-bigger In reply to Scr1b3 [2014-05-01 01:24:39 +0000 UTC]

Yup pretty much! That's not always a bad thing though lol, sometimes he's helpful like when I'm army training I like to imagine him jeering at me and then shoving or pulling me along when I get really tired, and for some reason it actually makes me run faster. All in the mind, bro.
(okay now I realise I must sound like a nutcase)

AnotherOddity [2014-02-01 10:30:12 +0000 UTC]

That looks great! what material did you use? did you use a special kind of paper? is it pencils or paint, if so what kind?

Also...wow. I didn't think it was possible for a character to physically do something like that.
It's a good thing I keep a low profile with my characters about the fact that I am their author/artist....or I'd be in trouble.
They'd probably be all over me with requests, demands, criticism, and there's this one character who I gave a tragic past to when I was twelve...she'd be furious with me if she knew it was my fault.
Maybe I'll give her a nicer backstory one day when I get some ideas for one.

my-sword-is-bigger In reply to AnotherOddity [2014-02-01 22:33:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!!! It was done as a a bit of a scrappy sketch , and then I coloured it on Gimp, heaping on lots of layers (I could go into more details if you want but I'm not sure if I'd be rambling lol)


 I didn't know either xD It's the kind of thing where you sorta believe but don't, ya know?

Yup keeping a low profile seems a good idea especially in the case of badass characters with horrible pasts …

Well you could mix in a few nice details into the backstory; I find it's best when the backstory isn't all nice but isn't all bad either, for all characters. That way they can't complain about favouritism.
