Hi all. I was just reading up and I couldn't help but to post my own fan art. Though their not related to O&M, I believe the anthropomorphic characteristics are enough and I want to demonstrate my artistic abilities. Sorry about the images being huge.

This is one of my best characters so far:
Iasha Wolstien (pronounced -ee-ah-sh-ah-)
Her story goes back way too far to describe in detail. Lets just say there is a conspiracy involved in her existance

.

1) This is a relatively recent color and inking.

2) Here is a closeup of the face. I wanted to try expressions so I chose the super tired face to draw

)

3) Now to the sweet stuff

. This is a very recent image of her. There was some problems with the outlines but you'll probably won't guess how I made this pic

.

4) Now this was made today! A colored version too. I tossed the jeans, can't remember why. Again, this is a very different picture than what you'd expect.

I recall seeing a "Draw Yourself in O&M" topic. I'm in, so expect me in there soon too.

So what do you think?

Wow, that was fast. And ok, I'll keep it up. I have here a strip. Given the quality of the second character you'll probably find out how I made the most recent incarnations of my characters. But it is my FIRST ever strip I have too. The strip is HUGE though, this small on is shown here instead. The full sized on is at this hyperlink so that it won't eat your eyes out.

Funny thing is that DC is my initials. So essencially your welcoming me to myself. j/k

Ah, I see that your avatar is a photo of Russian domestic foxes.

VenM2 · Postby **VenM2** » Sat Nov 11, 2006 2:50 am

For now that is, I'm currently drawing my O&Med version of myself really. Unless you'd want my avatar to be a 18 meter tall mech, 6km long Heavy Cruiser, or other sci-fi stuff that I used for other forums.

EDIT:

I was scrounging around my sketch pads and then I found these:

1) This is a pic of my young lady doing a fighting stance. I recall I drew, inked, and colored this a few months ago.

2) This one I found while doing my class projects. I recall drawing this one while I was DRIVING!!! I started drawing everytime I get to a stop light when I reach DeRenne Ave. Everytime I get stopped at that light I have to wait like 7 minutes to get a green light so I had lots of time to make this quick sketch while I waited.

Noice cel-shaded look.

santi · Postby **santi** » Sat Nov 11, 2006 4:30 am

i forgot to say welcome! im also a newbie, though.

BTW, what method do you use to draw?

VenM2 · Postby **VenM2** » Sat Nov 11, 2006 4:46 am

Well there you have it folks! I've been discovered. I used 3d models and cell shaded them. I'm using them for my finals so hopefully I'll get good feedback on them. FYI: I'm an ART college student

I finished a few early sketches of my 'fursona'. After much thinking and soul searching and animal behavior reading, I realized, to my happyness and dismay, that a fox is my sole similarity. I'm shy, sneaky, witty, tricky, always looking for that loophole to barge into, and also my appearance. Because of my somewhat pale skin and seriously jet black hair I've come to realize that I look a little like this old avatar of mine. So I decided to go silver. I have 2 sketches right now, and the first one looked so young that it is way too not me, I invisioned myself at around 14-15 years old in O&M.

Ok, here is my current progress:
BTW, there is no way that I'm that thin.

EDIT: Sorry Santi I didn't see that post. My drawing style is sort of 'rugged' meaning things will look naturally soft and blurred as opposed to a strong and hard style. It is done by rapidly drawing short lines that is usually done on a sketch. Using the natural arc of my hand I can create smooth and hairy curves with ease. I then use my sort of caligraphy pen brush thing to ink my stuff. It's not very good but I'll get something better.

In Iasha's case, I drew her so many times that I knew practically every part of her physique so I turned her into a 3d cel shaded model

.
