SolitaryHyena Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Wow, you sure when through alot of edits to make a pretty amazing protait. How exactly did you turn the drawing on paper to this amazing artwork? Quote "And where does the newborn go from here? The net is vast and infinite."

bonesiii Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This is very cool; looks like it could be a canon image! Also reminds me of the tiger thing in Aladdin. :PI especially like the shape of the eyes, simple but one bigger. The wavy lines are mysterious enough to evoke a scream without being clear. In fact your image makes Sand Screamers far MORE mysterious than they were previously, which is rare; usually showing something makes it less mysterious. I like the sand's texture, although you could argue it looks less like sand and more like a porous rock. And very good color choice.What did you use to make it?

Taka Nuvia Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's dark, mysterious, slightly creepy, and overall awesome. It's truly remarkable how different the final image is from the original sketch.I love the glowing green eyes, they really add to the atmosphere. ^_^I fear I don't have much criticism to offer; although to be honest I would be very interested in seeing more art depicting the "Sand Screamer", maybe from other views than profile... that would be fantastic :3 Quote My art collection topic - updated!

Haecceity Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Very well done! Like the glow effect on the eyes! Thanks! =3Wow, you sure when through alot of edits to make a pretty amazing protait. How exactly did you turn the drawing on paper to this amazing artwork?Through time, GIMP, and a laggy CPU. =PThis is very cool; looks like it could be a canon image!

I like the sand's texture, although you could argue it looks less like sand and more like a porous rock. And very good color choice.What did you use to make it?Wow, that's quite the complement, comparing this to canon...thanks!I largely used GIMP, drawing inspiration from the original sketch. (I made this mainly because of how dissatisfied I was with how the sketch turned out.)It's dark, mysterious, slightly creepy, and overall awesome.

It's quite a bad habit. =PIf I put my mind to it, I might make a front view, but my interest in this project has dropped.

Although, I can't force you to draw what I want; but playing around with a concept and looking at it from different angles can be a fun exercise. :)I just wonder, is the sand screamer supposed to be symmetrical in design? I thought I'd better ask, if your interest in this project isn't really there anymore. ^^ Quote My art collection topic - updated!

Dwanny Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It really does exert a creepy, malicious feeling, and i admire that. It's great that you showed the steps you took; it helps me realte to how you made it, and makes it even more impressive.I hope to see more from you in the future!

Axilus Prime Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Massively creepy, and all the eye effects were great. Final edit looks like an abyss worse than Karzahni....Constructive Criticism: The blurring and shattering of outlines makes the body somewhat unintelligible.
