Description
We're hurrying through the days,Always going somewhere
In a rush to get doing something else
And all that is left for us
is No Time
____
I thought I wouldn't have done this pic yet, though I've had the idea for this for a while. The title "No Time" of course inspired me to do a pic of Arcaillax, the Protector of the Phoenix Clock, thus the title doesn't really have anything in common with her. If there's something that Arcaillax has, it's time... It's more just symbolism, the
clock/locket symboling time, and the white phoenix bird symboling hope and light. There's hope that someday we all would have time, time for our loved ones, time for the things we enjoy, and most important, time for ourselves.
The spacy background... It's just because if thinking about a place where time doesn't matter, it's probably space.
Space is old, everything comes and goes, has their time until their time comes to it's end (and, I just love all kind of space-pics, but I've never done one myself). Another choice for the background could have been a black hole, which definetely DOESN'T 'have time'... But it's a bit tricky to start drawing a black hole.
But why I decided to do this now, anyway? I've felt absolutely worthless after screwing up my entrance exams for one school, and those works we had to do weren't even hard to be done! I felt so useless and I hated myself because of it, so I decided to show the world I CAN do something... Or more than to show the world, I wanted to show myself that I can... I tried to prove myself I'm not just a failurer... And I really hope I'm not... Thus, Arc's legs and wings look like crap.
Even if I would have failed those exams, there's always tomorrow, and tomorrow brings new chances for every of us. It brings new chances for me, too, and I won't give up yet
PS CS 3 and Aiptek Slim tablet
Time: Too much (Maybe over 25h?)
Amount of layers: 35
Original pic size: 1120x1670
STEP-BY-STEP -PICUTRE CAN BE FOUND HERE
Arcaillax & art (c)
Note: I changed my phoenixes' desings a bit by adding fluffy-looking decorative tail feathers for them, instead of
those plain strings with the feathery end in them. From the start those feathers were supposed to do to look like that,
but I thought they would be hard to do, unless I HAD to do something like that in my art trade work for Konsi. As
Charisma has two fluffy decorative feathers in her crest, I had a chance to notice that they're not so hard to do after all
-And it seems that Arcaillax started taking karate-lesson or something...

Tämä on kyllä upea! Sommittelu on ehkä vähän ahdas joo, mutta onpahan jotain parannettavaakin.
Kieltämättä olet huimasti kehittynyt, kun katsoo jotain vanhempia töitä ja vertaa tähän. Värimaailmakin on kaunis.
Oli muuten tosi mielenkiintoista nähdä vaihe-vaiheelta kuvia tästä!

Jeh, se jäi vähän ahtaaksi Musta jotenkin tuntuu että on ylipäätänsä helpompi tehdä kuvia, jotka on, öh, sivusuunnassa, vaimitensepitäisisanoa, eikä pystyssä... O_o Mutta kaitpa senkin oppii kun vaan harjoittelee.
Kiitoksia paljon, ja kiva tietää että ihmisiä jaksaa myös kiinnostaa nuo valmistusprosessikuvatkin Voisi kai niitä harkita tekevänsä useamminkin sitten.

Juu, harjoittelemalla se siitä...Mä oon edelleen huono taustojen kanssa, kyllä siihenkin kantsii käyttää aikaa miten kuvan asettelee "tilaan" jne. Lopputulos on parempi.
Tuo sinun tekniikka on itelle niin vieras, että siksikin on kiva nähdä miten ne kuvat syntyy.

WhitePhoenix7 In reply to Jennihoo [2009-05-28 08:57:30 +0000 UTC]
Juu, luulisi kyllä niin
Kannattaahan siihen käyttää aikaa, tosin useinmiten itselläni nämä kaikki ideat kuviin muodostuu päässä siihen malliin, etten niitä sommitteluja ja muita enää viitsi sen pahemmin miettiä xD Ehkä kyllä kannattaisi...
No onpahan tuota tosissaan eroa perinteisen ja digitaalisen taiteen välillä, ja suurimmaksi osaksi siksi että esim. Photoshopissa voi käyttää niitä layereita Periaatehan on muuten aika sama. Melkein. Tai sitten ei...

Ideastahan se kaikki lähtee, että se on kaiken a ja o. (ihan vaan silläkin mietin, jos/kun alalla aiot). Toisinaan kannattaa sitten miettiä ihan kaikki viimesen päälle mistä kuva "koostuu", siis tausta ja sommittelu ja kaikki.

Juu, kannattaahan niitä miettiä Ja silloin kun meikällä ei ole ideaa suoraan valmiina, mä saatan hyvinkin kauan hahmotella jotain kuvaa pääkopassani ennen kuin saan edes jotain aikaseen paperille

Omg, Päivi, this is so fuckin' awesome! (please excuse my language)
Great lines, I like how everything seems a bit "softer" than in your other pieces, it makes it all feel more real. Well, I've told you before, but I must say it again: You are amazing with wings! These ones are truly amazing. Yes, great overall work on feathers and such. The simple blurring of the closest feathers gives an awesome, 3D-effect. Lovely! And very nice colour choices too.
Please do more pieces like this one!

Haha, I've heard much worse things and sometimes use some, eh, not so polite language even myself So no harm done.
Thanks, I like this softness quite much even myself, doing lines like these just are a bit hard for me (I have really worse working place so my back tends to get achy while working, and my tablet's pen somehow gets my wrist achy, too >.>' That's why I usually do linearts on paper. And somehow all the anatomies look better then than when I'm drawing with tablet...)
And I'm glad to hear you like the wings ^^ I've also received much criticue about them, but usually people really have a point when giving it.
Thank you very much for your comment, Vilde! ^^ And thanks for collecting this one! I'll try to do pieces like this every now and then, but I can't promise I would be able to do every pic like this xD

Hehe, you do wings much better than I do, at least. But you draw a lot of birdies... Hehe, I understand that you can't work this hard on every picture. I don't either. And you're welcome, btw^^

I've had a some kind of lack of inspiration lately (I think I've been so bored, just sitting in front of computer either playing or surfing in the net) so I haven't uploaded much of pics now But thank you, I'm glad to hear you think this is beautiful ^^
And yeah, I'm doing a bit better, I'm still a bit mad for myself about screwing those exams, as I may not have any school now where to go next fall... But life goes on.
And I hope you will also do better after you'll get rid of all those exams and moves and everything :/

So have I. I thought I could create moar artz but it turns out that I've run out of inspiration to do it. It is, that's why I watch you. x3
To be honest, I think I screwed up on my exam last Wednesday but ah well. *shrugs*
Thank you. I kind of "exploded" at someone but I do feel good about doing so.

Yeah, that happens every now and then D: But at least there usually is something that inspirates artists to do more arts. I hope there's something where you can get some new inspiration, too!
Awn, thank you ^^
I hope that exam didn't go too badly... Let's hope this is one of those times when you think you haven't done too well with an exam, but in fact you'll get a good grade of it after all.
Oh... I hope that person didn't took it too personally, but I've got to admit, 'exploding' to people may make you feel better quite often.

Nope. It was stupidly east expect for a question or two. ^^
Even if he did, he deserved it. He was pushing too many of my buttons. He crossed the line basically. It made me feel better but a bit scared because I usually never yell at people.

O_O Päivi, this is amazing. Seriously! *faves* I don't know what to say - there's so much power in this picture and the colors match together well, and this is just... awesome! I'm proud of you, actually xD
Only thing I'd like to point out is that her right wing bends a little awkwardly and seems a bit small compared to the other one. Other than that... I'm almost left speechless! Well done!

You're proud of me? That's quite interesting to hear, Mie But thank you very much for your comment, and for the fave! ^^
Yep, that wing bends a bit awkwardly, I tried to fix it before but didn't manage to do it I probably should look for a ref for a wing that bends like this... And it's also a bit shorter, and quite likely smaller than the other, too xD Oh, well... At least it resembles a wing
