Description
(UPDATE: So........ I don't know about you guys, but I think... this was a vast improvement.LOL. This is what happens when you rush a piece. I tried to hurry this the first time to meet the artbook deadline. I was also excited about it... up until I hated it at the end. Something... just didn't seem right. And again and again, helene wanted me to use warm colors. O_o No matter how many times I wanted to use cool, she seemed very insistent that I use warm. So now... I don't know. This is what she wanted and so there. Happy now, Helene?
Helene: T_T
Whatever, bitch. >_>
Gah... such a shame I can't resubmit this to the book.
Kinda hate that DA doesn't allow for long titles. In any account, this was a fun drawing. It's my character, Helene, the mother of all werewolves who was created by Lucifer. She's his prized hellhound. You can learn a little more about her here: [link]
MAN I ain't doing curls again. T_T My fingers hurt. I had this cool idea in my head of Helene hiding within the shadows, staring deadly at any prey who got close to her. Sucks to be you, because she's staring right at you at the moment. O______O
Anyway, this picture is pretty funny. In fact, all my pics are funny in that, as I draw them, a hidden story reveals itself to me. I know. CORNEY. But it's true. I always start off drawing something, trying to get the image outside of my head, only for that image to become alive and become something different, both visually and metaphorically. I see this picture having two layers within itself. The broken shards of glass, for instance, reveals the beauty beneath. But within the beauty lies the beast.
Something I love about my Moondancer cahracters is that they're all beautiful but disgusting too. Everyone from Seth, to Helene, to Vincentius, to...everyone. XD I can't wait to start my comic so that you guys can see what I'm talking about.
Okay, so, I'm gonna submit this to 's book project. And I'll also be including this as part of San Japan's roster. XD
I give permission to to use this.

This painting is very awesome not in the slang term but in the inspiring some awe. If I saw her looking at me she wouldn't have to kill me because my heart would stop right then with fright. I think you really succeeded with the terrifying and the beautiful aspects of Helene's character.

That's understandable. Everyone here has lives outside the internet. You're welcome. I really enjoy the textures you are using in your updates, so I can't wait to see the new one.

God youre fabelous.. How did you get this good at drawing? O_o I'm curious. Anyway I like the colorchoise and highlights in her hair. The purple you used on the lines and the red lips crashed with the cold colors, and it looks good!

Man, my inbox gets so full that I barely get around to replying to comments from a month ago. O__O Sorry for the belated reply. I just updated Within and zipped through to see if I missed any comments from before. So here I am... giving you a major thanks for the comment. And also to bake you a cake for taking ages to reply to you. O_o

Her face is very captivating. She does really have that predator appeal to her. I really think it's cool how you drew her hair with all those wavy strands. It creates this nice pattern which helps balance the pattern on the bottom.

I still like it and I think the warmer colors add some more depth to the whole picture. The contrast of the red and green in her eyes is lovely.

Loooooove this characterβs colors. ..
Which is funny to say because sheβs sort of colorless, but those lips are so deadly. Are they natural? Is it lipstick? Or is it just the caked blood from all her victims? I donβt care what you want, you keep drawing those curls, It totally payed off. The lighting is amazing. I wish I had enough motivation to create an interesting light source but it wouldnβt look as cool if I did because I donβt have these awesome characters! I just want to kiss her. Really, sheβs all up in my face and I feel all this power and sort of evilness coming off of her even though sheβs the βheroβ as you say. And the designs in the glass are as mesmerizing as her face and those hands that look really bored and uptight like they just want to claw someoneβs face off. The theme you chose is very clear but it also seems to me as if she was raiding a skyscraper on a full moon and bad stuff happened.
Maybe an unlucky fly landed on her and sheβ¦ Tickedβ¦

Totally forgot to mention...
Helene's lips are naturally white, like everything else. But because she's eaten so many people, that the blood permanently dyed her lips red. O_O

RadiusZero In reply to unstamental [2009-06-19 21:00:57 +0000 UTC]
Hahahaha, yeah. Some damn fly landed on her hair and she can't seem to get it out because her nails are too damn long, sharp enough to bleed her. Yeah, that's why she looks animal right now.
LOL, part of me also thinks of her being trapped in ice until some unlucky fool unburies her, in typical horror-b-movie-plot-fashion. As a result for being stupid, he is about to be LUNCH. O_O This really does have a cool 'Dracula' vibe to it. XD
Anyway, thanks for complementing my curls. It's actually my first attempt color rendering those bastards. I'm just glad it came off decent looking.

they are some fabulous curls but maybe Helene will just hae to start ironing her hair from now on to save your fingers the pain

RadiusZero In reply to NODAMSL [2009-06-19 21:03:23 +0000 UTC]

DX my artwork is no where as brilliant as yours...
And omg, you're going to San Japan right? Did you get an 'artists table'? I will hunt you down!!!!! >

RadiusZero In reply to BlitzkriegEXSTACY [2009-06-19 20:07:18 +0000 UTC]
Oh ho ho! On the contrary, my dear, I dig your work a lot. XD I've jsut been busy lately with summer class and art that I haven't been caught up on making comments and checking new stuff out.
Yep, I got a table. Me and my compadres, and , will be at San Japan, so I definitely forward to the convention and seeing you there too! XD Did you get a table btw? I hear that the tables aren't reserved for particular names, so whoever shows up early gets dibs on whatever table.

BlitzkriegEXSTACY In reply to RadiusZero [2009-06-19 20:12:57 +0000 UTC]
I don't really want a table this year. I think I'll get one next year though. This year is gunna be busy for me DX So many people to meet and so many things to see and do! Lol I'd be ditching my table every 5 minutes just to check out someone's cosplay or give someone a hug etc. But hopefully next year I'll have more stuff and better stuff and I'll get a table then.
I just wish the con wasn't two months away!!!

Haha, totally understand. I know I was excited and curious about everything in Akon. And while we got free passes to attend any of the events, a lot of good that did since we had to stay at our table to sell our work, which was the whole reason for being there. You gotta show up as a guest and not an artist to really appreciate the convention.

BlitzkriegEXSTACY In reply to RadiusZero [2009-06-19 21:06:12 +0000 UTC]
Yea, I'm stoked about this year though! I might not be able to come on Sunday, which makes me sad. But I'll be there on Friday and Saturday for sure! And I'll only be showing off two of my cosplays.I'm too lazy to change into two others in one day. XD
