Little tweaks?

Post by Cy »

I've been working at developing my own styles and such while I've been gone, and I need opinions for two things.

Firstly,

Ignore the water-mark-ish thing, these are displayed in my Myspace sketch album and people like to jack my shit on there O.o Anywho, I've been working with curls, and I've always sucked >.< This is the closest I've been able to get to a style of curl that I liked, and I was wondering if it looked suffeciently curl-y to everyone else? If so, any tips on really keeping that curl look when I got to color it?

For the second part, I've returned to the different islands of Holic, and trying to figure out exactly what adoptable species I should offer out, and what would be dragon compatable and what not.

Would anyone have any interest in these:

if I drew a couple more poses? They don't have wings, those limbs coming from their shoulders are similar to a spider's spinnerettes. It has magic that enables it to create a thread of energy in it's hands that it uses those limbs to weave into prophetic designs on deep cavern walls. It's a strictly cave or underground dwelling creature, and oddly enough can survive underwater too.

That's all I have on it so far though, in case people didn't have any interest ^_^;

The spinnerette idea is very interesting. I like em!

@Fuzz: Hiii Fuzzbutt! I've missed you :] It's been a gazillion years since we've talked on AIM or the phone XD How are you?

@Shard: Thanks :D The "extremely sproingy" look is what I was going for. I've glad there's some interest in the cave dwellers. I'll flesh out the species then :]

The curls definitely look curly, no worries there! When colouring them, just keep in mind that they're basically cylinders, so the light will fall on them in a similar way as it does to a simple cylinder-shape!

The cave creatures sound interesting! Are they the same as dragons in that people need to write bonder stories to get them, or are they more like adoptable 'pets'?

They'll require at least a paragraph :] They'll be about the same size as the Lian mini dragons, and will have natural telepathic powers [though verbally, they're limited to chirps and squeaking sounds]

They'll be counted as a pet, but will be breedable with most creatures of the same size, or through artificial means. You'll pretty much have your character go to an "adoption center" to get them :] They'll come with personalities, special powers and traits and all that jazz.

And of course I wouldn't mind :]

I can't believe you still have my hair :D Hehehe. That makes me giggle. I haven't had purple hair in foreeever. Because of jobs. I'm glad you're doing better :D

I still have all the dragons you've drawn me, but I haven't paged one or two of them cuz you weren't around to get info from. So I'll have to do that soon :D

And youuu haven't seen me on AIM because I got a new screen name :]

I've decided to call them Weavers, for simplicity's sake. Their color will tell you a little about their powers and rank. They'll range from dull colors to jewel tones.

Here's two examples :]

I do believe I'll go work on typing up a species sheet for them and maybe planning out a give-away?
