Speed paint topic from
So "In the center of the earth," Phoenix rises. (not really, but personally the most appropriate creature in the middle of lava).
It was fun rendering lava and the Phoenix, my second favorite mythical animals next to Dragons
EDIT: Painting video uploaded to Youtube:[link]
Enjoy

Wonderful speedpaint. It's quite messy, but, hey...it's a speedpaint, so I can't do anything about it!
I like the sharp contrast of the oranges and the reds with the dark brown areas and blacks in the background.
Keep it up. And I expect more from you.

Sorry for the late reply!
Indeed.. It's probably better if I use these speed paints and create a full painting out of it...

Thank you
It's fun, especially once you get used to doing them

Yeah not only are they gorgeous, it's a cool symbol of reincarnation. I love people's idea back when they created these mythical creatures
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! The originally meanings and symbolism of all these different mythical creatures are all so interesting...

Yep, there's so much to read into when cultures take over/ fuse other cultures' belief into theirs
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, there is...I wish I had more time to read too.

This is when I wish I didn't have to sleep
(well, if that was the case, I may end up painting the whole time

Yeah, same here...
(I'd end up replying to messages on here.

Nice
And maybe one day I'll illustrate one of your stories..?(Can't help it, book illustration's one of my profession)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, if I ever get one published, I'd like you to illustrate it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome
Well, I warn you too, I love doing fantasy illustrations
Fantasy>mystery=romance>historical=horror>>>>>>sci-fi.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Excellent, that will work out well then....
Well, about the only things I write are fantasy, angst, and crackish bits of humor...although, if I don't get out of this mood in time for NaNoWriMo, I'll be writing 50,000 words where people die, get tortured, lose their sanity, ect...-_-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meh, as long as it doesn't get too crazy I have no problems with it
And for fantasy, I do always like Elf x humans..?

Good.
Excellent.

Nice
Well, technically original Elves aren't beautiful looking,(I follow the Tolkien style) so I have no problems with that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So do I...I prefer Tolkien's beautiful elves, not the ugly ones, or the tiny little Disney ones...but my sometimes end up being more dangerous...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, part of the reasons why I couldn't get into Harry Potter. (Though I feel in the movie they made the Elves' ugliness to an extreme)
Dangerous like a manipulative, femme fatale type?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I got into Harry Potter...but then, the 6th and 7th books nearly drove me insane...I hated them.
(Yes, they did...I got through it by reminding myself that she was probably thinking of Brownies...still annoyed me.)
Some of them are dangerous like that...each character has their own way...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, in some ways I wouldn't question if someone told those creatures were goblins.. It's really hard to like them when characters are portrayed differently from how you vision it
I'm really interested in how some of your characters are dangerous
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that....and they just annoyed me no matter what they were called (aside from Kreature...he was okay.) because of how they acted...
Well, it depends on the individual story...some of them are femme fatales, as you said, and others are dangerous because of the skills they have (thousands of years to practice killing people tends to do that...) and others draw you in, and make you trust them...before they slowly rip your soul to shreds.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Though original Elves are impish creatures (well, I guess they were kind of portrayed as a rather timid beings) so it works... but I guess I like the Tolkien style too much
Oh awesome.. the last kind's the scariest
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Some of them were...and then there's ones like the Seelie and Unseelie....(scary folks)...So do I.
Yes, it is....and yeah, you probably wouldn't (it's a good thing)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I completely forgot about the Unseelie.. Brrr.
Less painful, the better. I guess... You're not those kind are you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, they're scary...*shudders* Them and the Banshees....
Yep, the less pain the better...not what kind?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Banshees with their cries...
Um, the last one you described of you dangerous characters..
>others draw you in, and make you trust them...before they slowly rip your soul to shreds.
Just wondering if you had that kind of personality in you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...and redcaps (the research for my novel is slowly getting to me...)
Lol, no. I'm more on the...sweet, but will let you know if you upset me type of personality...the only time I'm vicious is if somebody attacks me or tries to rape me or something...and then, I can do some harm....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of all the things, it reminded me a parody creature "blackcap" from a story I read long ago. (Pretty much it has the same nature as the redcaps but I think it was nocturnal or something)
Don't let those goblins take over you
OK, I like that personality
And yeah, I think your response in those situations are normal..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, they sound hilarious....
I won't let them take over me.
Yeah, I'm pretty open...especially on DA....
Yeah, but I have the training to actually do some serious damage...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but you never want them swarming around you
Anything too many is never good..
Being open is good
That's cool that you're trained
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, no I don't.
Yeah...that's true.
Good.
Yep! My dad's been doing this since I was really little, and Grandmaster (his instructor) always let my sister and I go to classes. And use pressure points to beat up ex-marines who came to class, which was always fun....My dad does a bit of everything, but specialized in wing chun and other methods that lack a name anybody who doesn't attend class would know (like the G.M.C. 2000, which doesn't refer to the vehicle...but rather, the weapon used in the class) (Lol! Well, I always get to train with my dad, and he's careful to not do any bad damage...except I do loads to him, so it's slightly unfair...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's important to respect others' opinion
Can't stand it when someone forces their opinion though... I'll listen, incorporate it if I believe is legit. But if it's forced upon me, I'll simply ignore it
Hmm, pressure points.. Makes sense, you're anatomically disabling your target that way. And yeah, you definitely don't Wing Chun as a "common" martial art
...Be gentle with your dad
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, it is very important to...
Neither can I. I like debate, and could debate all day. But if people force their opinion on me, without giving me a chance to explain my own opinion...I simply ignore that person's ideas...
And they're easy for somebody as small as I am to do...and way easier when I first started training, when I was like 5 and 40 lbs... Nope, it's not a common one.
...I am. (Except when he tells me not to...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
BTW, just out of curiosity, why is it easier if you're smaller?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, same here...though at school, not work, but still. I wish it could have been done differently...
Lol, not smaller for anyone to learn (it's about equal) but it's one of the easier martial arts, in my experience, for smaller people to learn. Mainly because it doesn't really rely on muscles, weight, strength, etc, to be able to do something - a 40 lbs 5 year old, and a 200 lbs 6 ft tall muscular guy, can have about the same effectiveness, because it all relies on pressure points...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I try to tell myself that it's a lesson learned on how to react, but it's still hard..
Uh-huh.. I guess if pressure points can be used for curing, it could also be used for inflicting damage. (I should've paid more attention at the seminar when I worked as a Chiropractic assistant
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it is...I'd like to think I'm getting better as far as how I react, I just don't know if that's true or me being overconfident...
Yep, they can....(Lol, probably...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As long as we are careful about it, it'll get better
(And at least from the conversations we had, I think you are great at that)
It was a summer job during college so my main reason for working there was for figure study
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It will
(Well, you haven't seen the conversations where people have gradually chipped away at me until I broke down and wanted to scream at them...)
Yeah, I image they were....well, at least you got something out of it, which is more then most people can say...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True.. but I wouldn't want to see you break down nor be the one doing it to you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.. I think I remember one actually..
...
I know, there's real no point if you don't do your best in those circumstances
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Which one? The one where I blew up because I was tired of being treated like I was stupid?
...
Exactly
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.. I don't remember exactly when (probably last fall?) but something like you suffering the urge to leave the house but couldn't because of your animals.. Sorry if I'm wrong..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, you're right...that was one of them. The other was when people on here made me angry...
