Comment:
This was/is my final project for my Illustration class which was turned in today. You have no idea how good it feels to be DONE omg. The final project was a "storybook" illustration of our choice, be it from a game, pre-existing book, etc. I chose to go with something Hindi which was the Mahabharata. There are a number of stories in the epic entailing Naga and I wanted to sort of illustrate a more modern fusion take on it.
The instructor challenged me to go outside of my usual style and try a more Indian style when doing this, which he said that I did pull off; personally it was a bit of a challenge mostly in the facial area. I always do noses and eyes in an odd way, but I'm pretty fond of the way I did the face. The original, as always, looks loads better and sadly there was some cropping due to the curve of the paper when I took a picture (the side and bottom borders mostly). If they can get the big scanner in the Mac Lab
fixed at school I will try to scan it after break.

You really did an incredible job on this. The colours are really amazing. I love how realistic and pearlescent the scales look. I also love how the humanesque torso blends with the reptile half. I just love the way you did the muscles and rib cage area. The markings on the body are extremely neat too. I really think you got that Indian feeling in nicely as well.

I've never done scales with irredescene before with traditional media, so I'm glad to hear that it looks good.

OMFG BRIDE AND PREJUDICE OST. Lo I actually have a bunch of stuff by Udit Narayan too.
Balle balle, je soniya de rang dekhlo

Aj munde hue enhan de malang dekh lo

This is pretty awesome, I love the vibrant colors.. The facial structure is bothering me since the nose seems so long and the lips are just kinda smashed in there,
The main part of this I LOVE is the composition of the snake body. It actually looks like a snake too so you win, I love you.

WATCH DEVDAS. I DEMAND IT. *needs to buy it* Watch the 2002 version with Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai~
Thank you~
Maybe more chin next time? Or possibly making the head a little bigger? o3o *curses her habit of over exaggerating faces* XD;
Yey! You love me~
AmbiguousJay In reply to soulspoison [2008-03-20 19:40:27 +0000 UTC]
OHH? *adds to Netflix queue*
Proportion wise I think the head itself is fine, but the nose and lips need to be placed higher that's all.
Aw, lol. Snakes really do have such pretty skin.

Yanno I should sign up for Netflix. D: I'm missing out~
Gotcha gotcha. I see what you're talking about. I made the bridge of the nose too long and that's why everything is squished down so far. xx; GO SP GO. *fail*
If I had skin that pretty, I'd walk around naked. Seriously.
