Description ~~~

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem~~~ All about Jerusalem~~~

I'm going to be obsessing over Jerusalem until I actually go there someday.

More wing practice with my favourite Crusader and his dagrum. I've been drilling myself with wings lately, man - I'm running out of space in my *notschool* notebooks, ha-ha.

That, and on a different note...MY SWORD CAME IN! The Moorish scimitar, yes-yes-yes, mmmmmmm! I'll have to take some pictures now that I have them all. The only problem now is...I've run out of wall space! ;-; I've not even enough room for my other new swords, ha-ha. Oh, well - I'll figure it out.

Back to the artwork, I also tried one of those spiffy blur things on Idracil's tail, just to show how close it is to the viewer... Any tips on that would be nice.

*noms soft clouds*

I love working with colours - I mean, seriously - so much. Especially contrasts in shadows and highlights. I shaded this and did the entire background with two colours. TWO colours. A slightly-magenta-ish red and a lighter orange (obviously.)

So, yeah.
Enjoy!

Time taken - about 2 hours
Rippers will be swiftly nuked and disposed of.

Thanks! Definitely try and study bat/bird wings to get the basics, and then think of them like big arms. XD

Yes, I sometimes do, but not right now. Check back and they might be open, though! I open/close them at random times.

I love the composition, and Idracil's content expression. The smoothness of the wings is nice.
If you want critique, it seems like the tail would be crossing with the horizontal part behind the thicker part, and with the intense lighting, I think that Thomas would cast a shadow on Idracil.

TwilightSaint In reply to msafs [2010-01-24 18:41:12 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!
What do you mean the horizontal part of his tail? The part that crosses over? But that would mess up the epic foreground, yes?
