totally faved but didn't comment ungh

A LONG TIME COMING, but it was totally worth it dude, I like how you did the feets, actually

WELL DONEEEEE

I still think it didn't turn out too well :I

finally!!

XD looks awsome good job!

Part of the reason it took so long is other stuff, mainly TV and work, kept distracting me :C

damn them XD

wonder if you know that gej = gey, spelled in polish

Not off the top of my head, no, but I did know about the G/J thing.

However, I'm not Polish, that isn't intended to be a Polish name, and the pronunciation is different. Although, there is a Polish connection that I will be willing to explain later.

Wow, that is very nice Slate. =3

Thanks, but I still think it turned out bad XC

I don't have a Ref sheet. XD

This is actually pretty good Slate, I think you should give yourself more credit :)

Btw, its not it's

It was around midnight when I posted it, and "its/it's" is one of the few words that the apostrophe confuses me as to when to use it, except for when it's the actual contraction of 'it is'. So it's a double whammy :C

You poor soul. Well, it's easy to remember its connotations ;)

It looks really awesome :D

I could have and should have done better...

Oh please, don't be so hard on yourself.

Well done. And moreover, as an actual being, definitely demigodlike, if not just plain hard-hitting badass.

Why thank you! I wish people would give this kind of comment more often :C

You're welcome. Iksars have a long history with dragons, as they are our progenitors. I maybe like them too much - the attractiveness of the form distracts me from the being inside.

It takes quite a lot to put fear into an Iksar, as they serve a diety whose very name is meant to strike fear into non-believers. Yours is one such fearsome being.

(RP aside) It is hard to go beyond just attracting attention and attracting quality attention, especially the quality of attention we wanted, or even expected.

It must be extra burdensome for an artist. I applaud the bravery at continuing it.

I would have been more so if I didn't fuck the anatomy up so bad DX

Great ref-sheet. The details came out wonderful. I love the blue markings and symbols; as well as the coloration throughout.

You really did a fantastic job at capturing his look.

I wouldn't think this is bad at all.
Great reference of your character.

FINALLY I'm here to comment

I think you did fantastic on the core shadow placements, they look really legit. I'm very fond of the leg and hand placements, especially the legs, but that's probably because those are the things I have the most trouble with.

I think the first one from the left is my favorite, just because it emits that presence of Slate. I also think that the painting in that one is the most consistent.

The snarling head looks a little bit static, but it keeps that presence of intelligence, and not some beast that could lose control at any second, like I usually go for, lol. As for the painting in that one, I think it's really great, but it feels like you used two totally different styles. But the lighting on it is superb.

I really like the Slate on the far right too, I think back shots are really hard to draw, so great job. The only qualm with that one is the black hole, it looks really slapped on, but I have no idea how to fix that, because I imagine that's probably what a black hole would look like if it were on someone.


The information is very thorough, and I'm quite jealous to be honest, I really have to get off my ass and make myself a good one, only 4 weeks left of classes though!

This is the kind of comment I want! While all three were done in the same style, I should have spent more time on the middle. The way I draw is better suited for things like the front and back view, rather than 'close ups'. While I originally intended the snarling to be a fierce battle roar, it looks more like a 'SILENCE!' roar.

And it's more of an eclipse than a black hole. Wether it looks as though it's slapped on or not, it is as though I intended it to look.

I think the biggest problem with it is it doesn't really dip in, or whatever, like a back would, but I not sure how to go about that, since you can
t really have shadows on something that is already completely devoid of light
