FanArt: Experimental R'aan

[navci]

Anyone would like to guess what the influence is? (I hope it is somewhat obvious. But if not, that is fine too. Mwahahaz... ")

It isn't a 100% style mimicing, but rather taking in the element that I like and integrate it into my way of drawing. I am rather pleased with the result.

[Sef]

I think that this picture is awesome.

I can't quite pinpoint the style. It's wonderful though. =O

[EphekZ]

I really like your art glad to see more of it =)

[Maridia]

OMG FOMARL <3 <3 <3 <3

Wow, navi. That's an awesome awesome post. I love long hair in the breeze. And is that a battle verge I see? <_<

It's just wonderful. Nice dark colors too ;o hawt

But Navi doesn't have a fomarl to my knowledge >_>

Fomar Fomar!

They don't look the same beside the robe part ._.

You succeeded in making the FOmar look girly, confusing Melanie in the process. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Nice work.

Guesses on the style? None, I wouldn't know what style is from where. >_>

[navci]

Honestly though. I don't know how you'd not make a long hair FOmar girly. Not like you even get to see his face much. If it was a FOmarl tho, she'd had the dress thingy in the waist so the robe wouldn't flow much at all? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[WraithVerge]

He looks awesome nonetheless, especially the look on his face. Looks pretty damn intimidating.

in my defense, it was late, I was tired, and I was looking at the picture from a bad angle and was just like "omg pretty". I never even thought about it.

Sorry. :/ I screwed up.

I believe I was initially confused because the pose and hair reminds me a lot of a picture of Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile. That must be what first put OMG WOMAN into my head, as normally I'm really great at spotting bishounen. ._.

[Sagasu]

I'm none too familiar with the artwork of the metal gear solid series, but it certainly looks that way. Mainly for the black.

Very seski, especially his pole arm. ;>

[KaFKa]

One day, I'll be able to fathom just how skilled Navi is.

Until then, I can oogle her art and drool with a blank stare on my face.

[Non-Toxic-Crayons]

Anyone who has a hard time telling FOmarls and FOmars apart should go and draw both of them a couple times. They are really quite different when you look at all their details... One of the biggest giveaways that this is a FOmar would be the absence of the extra hip hugger dress thing. Also, the general shape of the robes and the pattern on his back.
Anyway, I may not be able to tell the technique off hand, but it does look familiar. I love the heavy use of black. cool cool http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif
May I ask what the medium is? And if its digital... Then... may I ask how you got those black lines?

Either way, Bravo. =)

[astuarlen]

Hohoho, me like this very muchly, navci. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Graceful yet bold at the same time. Kinda reminds me of sumi-e, though I don't know entirely why.
b d <--two thumbs up

[ladyjaderiver]

OMG FOMAR! *spazz*

*latches on*

It's a very nice piece, Navci. ^_^ Probably my favourite of yours in a long time. I love the movement it has, and the high contrast.

Of course, it being of a FOmar helps, too. >.>

[Helena]

O__O wow too cool

Very stylish, though I'm not sure of what syle. Caligraphy? Hrm...

Hey come on now.
I only really meant my comment as a joke. Let's drop that subject and don't forget this thread is about me and my experimental R'aan!

[Sef]

Well, somebody ended up pointing out the style to me and it made me feel stupid. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

More pictures like this, yes? :>

[FOAtHeart]

Such style! Fashionable ;o <333

[Outrider]

To go on the video game theme that Sagasu started, it also reminds me of Metal Gear Solid, as well as a bit of Okami.


Wait, now I remember.

It reminds me of AWESOME.

[Eihwaz]

Oh my god, I love this new style, navi! The bold, dark lines and the minimal color pallete creates such a stunning image. I really, really like this.

I seriously hope you do more in this style. <3

Not everyone can take a joke. Becareful you you play with, It might be kitten or it might be a lion. you never know.

[PJ]

Keep it up Navi! This is A-W-E-some! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I mean, what else do you expect? Navi style!

Obviously you can't. Way to take my attempt comical mediating into another potential drama.
I don't want this thread locked so stop trying!

[Mixfortune]

Alright, folks.
If you need a mod to get the idea, here you go.
Enough with the FOmar/FOmarl discussion.
Consider yourselves warned. Talk about the art, not the comments.

[Eihwaz]

Did doing R'aan in this new style take more time than your usual style, or did it take less time?

Well. It took me a while to experiement on what to do and what not to do. Like, does it look good this way? or that way? So that part took a long time. But as for style wish in drawing, I am actually not the kind that draw small details very well. I mean I will and I can do it, as I have done before. But I much rather prefer do an idea and like eccentuate some details over others; get a general flow going rather than showing you photo-realistic zipper marks. So ultimately I think I'd enjoy doing this more.

AND! The inspiration to that was MGS. I really liked the highly stylized artwork they did. While I was doing it though, I realize I also integrated a bit of the Samurai Spirits ink brush strokes into it. It is a very sumi-e style, like brush painting. But since I am digitaling it, I took full advantage of my media and used irregular eraser strokes. :>

Oh ya. Took me a while to put the brush together too. That was a lot of trial and error.

[Scejntjynahl]

What a lovely Fomar.

Dark and moody, just the way I like them.

[Solstis]

Oh, oh! MGS! I feel stupid now.

[DavidNel]

the pic sorta looks like Separoth (or whatever you call him), the guy from FF. I've never played the series, but from what I have, thats kinda what he looks like... GOOD DRAWING by the way, lol

Aha! So that's your new style is from. Now, I know. ;3

[Skuda]

Awesome stuff yet again Navi. I am totally digging this new style your working with.

R'aan without a hat = http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Woa, where did you get that idea from? I didn't mean to insult you, you know. Just tring to keep you from getting into troble, unless you like to slap others around (which is really useless). I come in peace!

[HunterKieran]

I half-expected an army to march behind him with a pose like that. He has that Big-Chief-Asswhupper look, as I like to call it. *grin* Nicely done.
