Description
My little four winged automation of energy. This is literally a revisit of this picture of Toscin - [link]The thing I liked so much about the original was the way he blended into the background so well it was hard to spot where he ended in places. I was considering how I could put him on a black background, and still maintain that same feel and this was what I came up with. Ultimately, not the solution I'm using, but I liked the concept enough that I wanted to post it here.
There is no story explanation for this, it was just for the look of it. (no, he doesn't have an evil twin

BRILLIANT!!!
Not to bug, but if the creature of light has black eyes, should the creature of dark have white eyes?

I was going to ask if that wasn't Tocsin... and I found I didn't have to. The thing I like most about this is the fact that we can get a clear shot of Tocsin's form. Would this be what the fellow would look like in negative space?

I kinda like the blended look his actual outline is actually nothing special, just kind of wiggly

Ah, do you mean like a light wave, or the point where your pencil actually touches the paper? *s* There are a lot of artists in your shoes who cannot bring about creatures like your Tocsin who are all motion, and bring that feeling to a still shot. Maybe I'm just not seeing all of them, but again, I've always liked your figure work.

I'm pretty sure I've already doodled one in one of my old sketchbooks... I recall him having a tophat and cane

Oooooooh, very cool!
The coolness of this piece is freezing my blood, yo. Very chilling, and if it's eyes weren't so cute and shiney, it'd be downright evil.

Does it help that they're cute and shiny red eyes?

Sunnybrook1 In reply to sycle [2005-11-20 21:55:19 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, a little - maybe if the eye shape had some sharp edges/angles to it, it'd look more sinister.

It's not that hard once you get your head around it, and you've still got plenty of time to learn if you're so inclined ^_^

**chews thoughtfully on starburst squirts** i really still can't decide on what version i liked better darl! both the white and black looked mighty fine and huggable. he looks so flimsy, like you can reach out and he's going to break apart if you touched him. maybe hugging him wouldn't be such a good idea. ;-;

This looks so fantastic. I love the use of highlight to make his body stand out from the background. I like the light version better thus far, but this one is still bloody awesome.
I jsut like him a little white critter. But so good anywa.y.

sycle In reply to jemisard [2005-11-14 12:59:26 +0000 UTC]
Thanks I think I like the white version better too, but I do love the look of picking up his contours like that, and the angle of his wings play so well with the effect

Looks like it consists of solid smoke...very beautiful!
I like this one better then the light one, cause I agree with what you wrote in your comment, but it was also a bit hard to see what it was.
Beautiful work!

Thankyou! My inspiration was to try to get a smoky glass look to him, originally he was actually see-through but I didn't like the effect

This is cool, man. Toscin rules. I know you wouldn't ever aim for the predictable evil twin cliche.

Dude, this isn't an evil twin. You don't see a goatee, do you?
Still, I agree with everyone else on the sheer awesome of this.

Did you read what I said. I said that I know that he would NEVER aim for that predictable cliche. I did read his description, you know. Besides, it's just a black Toscin.

sycle In reply to poofyspikes [2005-11-14 01:47:21 +0000 UTC]
Exactly! Toscin's evil twin also has a tophat and an eyepatch if I recall correctly.

^.=.^ oooh very nice he blends pretty well but he's still a bit too defined i think. Not complaining though Probably just my laptop screen heh
I still like the original one Any more Tocsin planned?

sycle In reply to SurfingCharizard [2005-11-14 12:33:34 +0000 UTC]
Well I didn't want him to be completely invisible Might be a contrast thing then, for me, the white version is probably easier to see than the black version.
