afk-fan-art

[river bronze]

Hes pretty

[silver flare]

but w/e i wasnt saying that to imply something deeper

both pretty bois

[tight dove]

ah no its okay lol

his ingame sprite

[silent glade]

Most of afk: argues about strats
Art: deep analysis of hair

[river bronze]

Wait I have a meme for this situation

[tight dove]

lmao

[silver flare]

h a i r

lets talk about nemoras hair now

[river bronze]

Oh no I cant put it in memes I already posted

[tight dove]

nemora has clouds for hair

[river bronze]

Yall check back in memes in like an hour lmao

[silent glade]

Not in her bust art

[tight dove]

okay she has soft cotton for hair

[silent glade]

Shameless head canon promo

Gave him d3 hair lmao

[river bronze]

uwu

[silver flare]

explain the back of her hair

what is it

[silent glade]

Oof tracing bad

[tight dove]

might be a huge bun

[silver flare]

also i like your ferael hair :D

[tight dove]

braid

[river bronze]

Braided cloud

[silver flare]

i respect braided cloud

[silent glade]

I think it's used in her braid that goes to the front

[silver flare]

is it just a Mass

really? it looks like its being pulled back though

[silent glade]

Her hair may be puffy because she's part sheep

[silver flare]

fair

ok time to delete tracing bc tracing is ugly

[river bronze]

Sheeps are basically just ground clouds tho

[silent glade]

Good

[tight dove]

something like this but way bigger

[silent glade]

Oh

[silver flare]

hmmm i dig it

i think i went for something similar in my drawing

[silent glade]

Only time I drew nem was dragon

[tight dove]

wait no

eironn's hair does kinda

sway outwards

[tight dove]

its not completley straightdown

[silent glade]

And I turned the back into a mane

[silver flare]

i was thinking

[tight dove]

it just bends down at the end

[silver flare]

this for nem

except fluffier

[tight dove]

yeah thats close to it

[silver flare]

problem solved

thanks for coming to my ted talk about afk hair

[silent glade]

problem

Next up: would you consider Fawkes having facial hair or nah

[silver flare]

5 o clock shadow

maybe

[tight dove]

what does fawkes look like

someone get a pic

[silent glade]

I'm basic and default but I don't know

Uhhhhhh

[silver flare]

boi doesnt have time to be perfectly clean shaven

but i hate the idea of him with facial hair

[tight dove]

maybe like

stubble

or smthn small

[silent glade]

Full"k

[silver flare]

yeye like the shadow

[silent glade]

I posted it before

WHERE

The fuck

[tight dove]

oh no not like that

thats too much

just like barely visible

yknow

but even then i dont like facial hair fawkes

[tight dove]

ah thanks

just give him white colored chest hair

[silent glade]

If a bounty hunter / pirate doesn't have facial hair it's a dumb design sorry

[tight dove]

id say thats better

[silent glade]

You wouldn't even see that

Also wait

[tight dove]

exactly

lmao

[silent glade]

That means you can't see his fucking eyebrows

wheeze

[silver flare]

i think stubble is fine

[tight dove]

how do we know he has any?

[silent glade]

Implied

[tight dove]

okay but

they wouldnt be visible

if theyre white

[silver flare]

like why would a bounty hunter shave every morning

[silent glade]

I j u st said

But actually

[tight dove]

bc a bounty hunter can look good alice

[silent glade]

Hate to burst that bubble

But uh

[silver flare]

no time to look good when he got stuff to KILL

[tight dove]

i think theres time for both

[silent glade]

Some people esp blondes have mismatching hair color when it comes to hair on head vs. eyebrows or even tint of a beard

[tight dove]

yeah i know that

[silver flare]

idk most white haired designs i see/like that arent old ppl have slightly darker facial hair

ye

hence, the cursed bleached eyebrows that thor had in thor 1 vs now

[silent glade]

Hogan just has grey and brown

[tight dove]

white eyebrows wouldnt look that bad tho

ik a character that has that

and doesnt look bad

[silent glade]

I mean with art I can still define stuff

And the GB have dark skin instead of light so it's easier

[tight dove]

yeah

[silent glade]

I drew Fawkes once properly

[silver flare]

for me, white eyebrows tend to look best with characters that have that ethereal aesthetic or are albino. but thats just my preferences

[river bronze]

I always interpreted her hair as more short and curly

[silver flare]

i dig it

[river bronze]

Also I'm probably super late lol

[silver flare]

LOL its okay

we are still talking about afk hair

is some capacity

in*

but ye this is prime example why i like darker facial hair even on ppl with light hair color

[silent glade]

Yeah it sucks

Tbh

"why do all your characters have dark hair and light skin"
: ^ ) idk

[silver flare]

in the end it comes down to taste tho :[] but i will give fawkes Powerful dark eyebrows if i ever draw him

[river bronze]

Yes

I support you

[silver flare]

all my characters have light skin and hair bc im too lazy to shade asdfjlksdlj

[silent glade]

Half assed art from a while back yeet

[silver flare]

nice nice

[silent glade]

I mean like. A lot is up to interpretation

I have preferences that is it leak

Just * leak *

Fucking A

[river bronze]

H

[tight dove]

fawkes can pass as a goat

with that cloud hair

give him some ram horns

[silent glade]

It's my worst tactic on wavey

[river bronze]

Horns are good

[silent glade]

Because my dumb ass likes Okami

@tight dove hilarious because I pioneered demon Fawkes idea

[tight dove]

give him ram horns

[silver flare]

okami has great art

[silent glade]

Ram horns r weak

[tight dove]

he already got the goatee

[silent glade]

WE GOING IBEX BABEY

[tight dove]

thats good too

[river bronze]

Horns and elf ears look great on any character

[silent glade]

Ferael already has pointy ears and the horns on his hood

So

: ^ ) babe

[river bronze]

Which is more proof that elves are superior

[silent glade]

He's more of a drow

Also both the bow and the horns look like bones

[river bronze]

I mean in general

[silent glade]

Like vertebrae

I prefer heavily with monsters over elves tho

[silver flare]

elves can be monstrous looking if you roll with the darker side of fae designs ; )

[river bronze]

When I think of elves I think of tes elves so that's generally how i categorize them lol

[silver flare]

hence why i love divinity elves, eating body parts for memories and powers is metal as hell

[silent glade]

An elongated human does not count for monster for me

I need like

For example

If Eironn had like four arms and segmented body parts I'd be in love

[silver flare]

ah more bestial?

[tight dove]

so like

[silent glade]

I fucking live super fucked up designs

[tight dove]

if eironn were an ant?

[silent glade]

Meshing like animalistic and human

[silver flare]

saying bestial as in with inhuman characteristics

[river bronze]

Bosmer? Pointy ears and horns (in eso). Good

[silver flare]

c h i m e r a a n t s

[silent glade]

Like how xenomorphs have that weird skeletal / muscle / cybernetic look

But still human?

Or humanoid

[silver flare]

holy fuck i love xenomorphs

[river bronze]

C h i m e r a a n t s

[silent glade]

They're okay but like you get my drift

[silver flare]

xenomorph is god tier species design

[tight dove]

oof i rly dont like xenomorphs lmao

[silent glade]

God reminds me I have 2 draw my elf man

[silver flare]

no i love xenomorphs :(

[silent glade]

Xenos have fucked up lore and I love it

[silver flare]

theyre so sleek and cool looking, theres nothing about them thats clunky

[tight dove]

its not their design that bothers me

[river bronze]

Lol idk what's a xenomorph

[silent glade]

But #545919777907015684 guys?

[tight dove]

its a personal reason

so like dw i think theyre cool

[silver flare]

haha u are right

[river bronze]

Half of the time I'm like completely lost in these conversations lol

I'll just coast along anyways:^)

[tight dove]

nice!

[shrewd sphinx]

Thnx only took me 10mins cos i was bored

[tight dove]

will color it in like 10 mins

but do some adjustments before that

[shrewd sphinx]

is that on tablet or pc?

@vroomvroom#5967

@tight dove

[tight dove]

i draw on pc

with a small ass drawing tablet

i use gyazo to screenshot

[silent glade]

Small tablet gang

[shrewd sphinx]

Oh what app cls i use adobe sketch or something

[tight dove]

i use clip studio paint pro

[silver flare]

sai for life

[shrewd sphinx]

I have a separate touch screen pc that im about to buy next week

[silver flare]

also i love u and ur art @tight dove

[tight dove]

oh thank u alice

i considered getting one of those screen tablets

bc my hand to screen co ordination

is stressing

[silver flare]

too pricey 4 me : (

[tight dove]

but i wont do that till my current one stops working

[silver flare]

i will survive with my intuos

[tight dove]

originally i actually wanted a big wacom intuos

but ended up with a small one

bc i linked the wrong amazon site

and he had to find the uk site

and ended up with the bigger sized one

kinda my fault but anyhow

the small sized works

thinking about it i dont think a bigger one woulda fit my desk lol

[shrewd sphinx]

Im buying a microsoft surface studio

[tight dove]

its like one of those desks specifically made for the pc screen to be put on

and keyboard

[silver flare]

fancyl

[tight dove]

its not fancy

its a shit desk lol

used to be better i guess

oo one of those

idk i prefer something i can hold

[shrewd sphinx]

Im hooking it up to my gaming pc so it will run full performance

or maybe just hook it up to my work laptop where i mostly do my drawings

[silver flare]

i have a touch screen laptop that i use to play skribb and run mobile emulators on

[shrewd sphinx]

Im not gonna say that my family is rich nor say that they are poor

Im not spoilt as well due to the fact that i also have 2 brothers

and im the 2nd oldest

but 70% of what i have is paid by ne

me×

[silver flare]

gjgj

[shrewd sphinx]

30% are by my parents cos hey helped me gather components

[silver flare]

have u ever had a drawing tablet before?

[shrewd sphinx]

No

I used to have an ipad

[silver flare]

okay so this is just my advice but i would suggest you start with something less pricey and intense

[shrewd sphinx]

But i mainly do gfx like making logos and banners

i decided to take a a step further and make every single aspect hand drawn

[silver flare]

aight up to u

[shrewd sphinx]

But im saving up for college

and besides i do auto mechanics as my study choice for school

a huge skill gap

and this is me expanding my drawing skills for the past 6 months

[distant snow]

art non-related to AFK goes to #545919777907015684

[shrewd sphinx]

Bruh

[silent glade]

It's true

[indigo raven]

Bruh all you want but it's just the rules

[shrewd sphinx]

shoulda change the channels name to afk-artistic-style

[indigo raven]

it's also in the rules

[silent glade]

There's the rules that outline this and the uhhh Chanel topic so

[shrewd sphinx]

REEEEEEEEuWuREEEEEEEE

[indigo raven]

oh no we broke pas

[rain nymph]

Finally made progress with this again

[strong token]

nipples

[rain nymph]

Lol, yeah

But more importantly
Flirting

[silver flare]

cute cute cute

i was thinking abt estrilda before shit went down in the rayne household so i did a portrait-esque thing of when estrilda was still a "lady"

[shrewd sphinx]

You guys are so much better than me 😭

😂

[silver flare]

all i can do is mediocre art so i might as well only do it ♪~ ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[shrewd sphinx]

Guess i need to take online classes again

I barely do drawings since most of the time i make banners and logos

for yr

yt

[silver flare]

i only do drawings so thats what my forte is

[tight dove]

''mediocore''

pfft no that aint true alice

[silver flare]

pft

its aight

thank u tho ^__^

[tight dove]

no its very good

[still summit]

I think it looks like Historia from SnK

[silent glade]

@silver flare wasn't she around like age ten or twelve? Maybe thirteen?

[silver flare]

@silent glade yep, i remember her being pretty young

[silent glade]

Like 15 she went to the tournament yeah?

[silver flare]

@silent glade probably?? i dont think i read that closely haha

if its about my estrilda not looking like a preteen, i can imagine her having a more stoic countenance than other girls her age

so thats my excuse heh

[rain nymph]

I love the Estrilda portrait!!! ❤

[tight dove]

if u wanted to make her look younger without changing anything u could just lasso tool her head and make it bigger

[fallow canopy]

those melons tho

[rain nymph]

I also made a bit more progress

[tight dove]

thats ira with mirael?

[rain nymph]

Ankhira

[tight dove]

oo

[silver flare]

LOL nah i thought her head was plenty big enough tbh maybe its bc i gave her a straight nose🤔 i dont think my estrilda looks that old tho

[tight dove]

thought the elbow scarf

was a bit odd

so makes sense

its anhkira

lol

[silver flare]

lovely!!!!!!!💖 @rain nymph

[rain nymph]

Thanks! ^_^

[tight dove]

anhkira's hand on there tho

👀

[fallow canopy]

im giving my tasi some detail atm, but im getting lazy so...

[tight dove]

oof thats nice

i dont understand how peeps blend colors like that

any specific brush u use?

[fallow canopy]

for me mostly watercolor and airbrush

[tight dove]

ah alright

thanks

[fallow canopy]

but i think some people use pastels or smth

[silver flare]

airbrush op lining brush on sai

[fallow canopy]

Airbrush is our lord and savior

all hail airbrush

im having a hard time with her wings

[tight dove]

im having so many strange deja vu moments while im coloring this eironn

it feels like ive had this exact same clor palette

color*

even though im sure i havent

its strange

also pro tip

if ur having a hard time telling if uve colored outside the lines or not

make the background color darker

[silver flare]

for the wings i honestly drew the lineart for one half of the wings then copy pasted it to the other side of the wings and adjusted for perspective haha

and coloring the wings, it was basically huge blocks of color with ombre effects

[tight dove]

pfft

i just use the symmetry tool

lmao

[silver flare]

and i made the wings transparent

[tight dove]

like i am rn

oh woah fuck

thats rly good

[silver flare]

cant use symmetry when its not perfectly straightforward tho : P

AAAA thank u .///.

[tight dove]

ye tru

the wings looks soo goood

its unbelieveable

[silver flare]

it is actually so lazy nooo hahaha i praise my lord and savior Preserve Opacity

[tight dove]

i know its prop simple but like

how do u come up with it

is the thing

[silver flare]

with It ? what do u mean haha

[tight dove]

no like

how do you know

doing x thing

gets u y

[silent glade]

Shouts in using vector based shapes to do the wings

[silver flare]

HAHAHA

just from experience

[tight dove]

lol

[silver flare]

literally presesrve opacity saves my life

for every problem in art

[silent glade]

Preserve opacity is a life saver sometimes

[twin rivet]

Oh wow that art is really nice!

[tight dove]

dont think ive ever used that

[silent glade]

I also fuck with knowing that if you have multiply, the color white acts as a blender

[silver flare]

like if my lineart looks kinda shoddy? change it up with some preserve opacity and it looks so good

[silent glade]

And if you use overlay / luminosity black works as a blender

[silver flare]

haha i dont go that deep into digital art

im a nub

[tight dove]

the only other layer ive ever used is like

multiply

lol

[silent glade]

I do painterly shading so like

[silver flare]

i dont use layers orz....

[silent glade]

I have to know

Layers save my life

[twin rivet]

I've used multiply or luminosity layers

God yeah that's such a true statement

Layers save lives

[tight dove]

okay but

[silver flare]

okay so let me show u the power of preserve opacity in saving a drawing

[tight dove]

do you fill in your color manually

or do u use the paint bucket tool

[silent glade]

Bucket is gross

[silver flare]

so u got this old fella its okay but yknow kinda whatever

[silent glade]

Select outside of library and then just inverse

[silver flare]

now THIS bad boy

[silent glade]

Outside of selected*

[silver flare]

tbh changing up the color of your lineart can add so much personality to your art

[tight dove]

isnt that just coloring the layer tho alice?

oh

yeah

[silver flare]

yep

[tight dove]

ive been doing it more often

[silver flare]

thats what i did for the wings basically

[tight dove]

literally makes it soo goood

[silver flare]

ikr

makes my crap lineart look accepatable

[tight dove]

haha lmao same

[silent glade]

I hand color sketches but not lined stuff

[silver flare]

i hand color everything

[silent glade]

These were all hand colored because sketch lines

[silver flare]

im too lazy to get technical with digital art

[silent glade]

They were also colored with my painting tool

[silver flare]

i use air brush for everything....haha

[tight dove]

imo doing it manually is way more satisfying

[silent glade]

Yeah but nah

[tight dove]

even if it kills me

[silent glade]

Manually is time consuming as hell

[tight dove]

yeah

[silent glade]

If I'm trying to hurry a reference sheet I will select the outside, inverse, and bucket tool then color properly and lock alpha

It's so much faster

[silver flare]

i think it depends on the person, im really bad with "closing" lines bc my lineart is bad so the time it takes to make neat lineart vs messy lineart is offset by whether you select/magic wand vs manually color imo

like i know you can manually select what you want "selected" for coloring but like. the time it takes to do that i could just manually color haha

[silent glade]

My references are almost always closed lineart for this exact reason tho

Also for clarity of shapes n details

[tight dove]

even if i close my lines i still color them manually

[silent glade]

Other works not so much

[silver flare]

references?

[tight dove]

the bucket doesnt do it for me.

i think they mean ref sheets

[silver flare]

ah gotcha

[silent glade]

References = character ref sheets

[silver flare]

yaa for that purpose it is important to make things efficient

[silent glade]

Let me open my laptop and I'll post to off topic

[silver flare]

i always do one shot drawings tho bc im a super casual artist :[] i am really amateur at digital art

[tight dove]

''amateur''

alice pls

[silver flare]

i aaaMMMmm

[tight dove]

im the amateur lmao

[silver flare]

i draw like once a year

[tight dove]

and ur still incredibly good

thats impressive

[silver flare]

nah >:[] but thank u still

[tight dove]

id use the paint bucket tool if it werent for the white lines

im too lazy to color those in lmao

[silent glade]

yells in THATS WHY BUCKET SUCKSSSSS

[tight dove]

ye

[twin rivet]

I did a rough doodle of Vedan today

In my sketchbook

It was fun to do

[tight dove]

!!! nice!!!

[twin rivet]

Aww thanks!

[silent glade]

there's not enough art of the GB guys

[twin rivet]

God I love the graveborn

[silent glade]

GB good

I NEED TO DRAW NIRU

[fallow canopy]

i wanna do isabella tbh

but im still preoccupied with the devil

[twin rivet]

I kept thinking of drawing interactions between Silvina and Vedan

[fallow canopy]

i mean tasi

[silver flare]

@twin rivet i like your art style so much!!!!!!!!!

[twin rivet]

Like after she got her leg wounded in her failed assassination attempt

[fallow canopy]

i cant win against tasi

[twin rivet]

@silver flare aww thanks!

[silent glade]

IFHELUSD

[fallow canopy]

this is her when i see her in arena

[silent glade]

I HATE TASI

FUCK HER

[fallow canopy]

[tight dove]

oh jeez

[silver flare]

[silent glade]

• about the whole vedan thing: ironically enough i tend to think more of traumatized isabella coping with everything and vedan being replacement dad

[tight dove]

anyway this is why the paint bucket tool sucks

[silver flare]

yeah LOL

[fallow canopy]

facing tasi gives me nightmares,

[silver flare]

sais a bit questionable for things besides painterly stuff

[fallow canopy]

she became the very thing she sworn to destroy

[silver flare]

but its so damn intuitive i cannot let sai go....

[silent glade]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/441509099721457666/575156030388961280/unknown.png?width=829&height=638

but also i own the dragon AU and uh

[tight dove]

awwh

thats cute

[twin rivet]

@silent glade omg I like totally picture Vedan being like a dad to them. He doesnt outwardly show it but he does have a connection to them. Hes just a little bastard man that doesnt want to admit he has those things called feelings

[silent glade]

vedan is big dragon dad

just a little bastard man

[tight dove]

lmao

[silent glade]

feeling r for the POOR we cant have t h ose

also if u want me to post the 12 dragon headbusts i did i can, covered a good portion of GB and a little bit of LB/wilders

[twin rivet]

I wanted to draw a comic of him bandaging up Silvina's leg, and lecturing her about mistakes. About how people make mistakes and how its important to learn from them to be strong. And she asks him if she was a mistake, and Vedan is taken aback by this. Sure he pushes her but he wants her to be able to defend herself and pursue her archaic desires.

[silent glade]

she was turned GB immediately after dying so i figured it was more to coming to terms with: ur dead

[twin rivet]

Cause I feel like at times Silvina holds herself up to such a high standard cause of all that's shes been through. Like she thinks that shes not allowed to make mistakes

[fallow canopy]

is Isabella still alive though?

only Silvina was mentioned to die

[twin rivet]

I haven't read Isabella's portrait story so I wouldnt know

Not yet at least

[fallow canopy]

basically bandits, isabella awoke powers and turned everyone inside out

they got shunned and she escaped to somewhere with silvina

then the arcanist story

[twin rivet]

I only remember hearing about her killing bandits in the library story

[fallow canopy]

she saved her village or smth

[twin rivet]

Oh interesting, I'll have to read up on it

I also want to draw interactions between other characters that dont share those union library stories

Cause personally I think it would be interesting if Vedan and Grezuhl interacted

[fallow canopy]

I wonder if the human brutus fought in his story was Thane

he's the only fast human dude i know

[twin rivet]

Not sure

[fallow canopy]

i realized, Thane CAN stand up to Brutus

with all his invulnerabilities

i just realized niru and shemira doesnt have a union yet

if their son comes along they would totally be a family union

[silent glade]

@fallow canopy @twin rivet one of the moderators confirmed that Isabella does eventually die but there was no say in how from the devs

Also yes I'm up for that family union hell yeah

[fallow canopy]

atm lets just think isabella tripped and died

or maybe her own magic backfired

[silent glade]

She's soft shhh

[fallow canopy]

ok then she tripped and died Xd

[silent glade]

I feel more emotional over Isabella than Silvina.

Silvina is a stone cold assassin from early years (somehow) and doesn't do much except falter at the sight of Estrilda, who reminded her of Isabella.

Isabella is a traumatized little girl who was almost lynched.

[fallow canopy]

both are nerds

no wonder she reminded her of isabella

[tight dove]

okay i change my mind the paint bucket tool is great

[silent glade]

BOTH ARE NERDS

[tight dove]

it only gets shitty if u have already put colors

[fallow canopy]

also i think silvina's story took place after vedan took them in

she was trained as an assassin while isabella is trained with her magic

i think

they both died afterwards

pretty sure they were still alive when vedan took them in

silvina died while on the assassination mission, got raised by another graveborn.
isabella fell down a ladder while looking for books and snapped her neck

lmao

what a nerd

but that's just how I'd like to think what happened 😂

maybe she did it to herself over the loss of her sister

[silent glade]

well like

They were taken in while alive, yes

But Silvina was still skilled with a knife without being taught by Vedan, evident in the Union story

[fallow canopy]

yeah she was orphaned and raised as an assassin

but she ''died" during the rayne mission

which means it should happen after vedan took her in

[silent glade]

@tight dove if you use it twice it expands the area a tad bit but it's a little pixelated sometimes.

[tight dove]

i just do it once

[silent glade]

Vedan also likely was Graveborn first thanks to Isabella. The girls were used to secure victims for Vedan.

[fallow canopy]

oh and vedan is using isabella's power to make him immortal or smth

[silent glade]

They were both trained under Vedan to refine their skills, but Silvina was still deadly with a knife before

[fallow canopy]

so is Vedan not a graveborn when she took in the twins

[silent glade]

Not yet

[fallow canopy]

yeah i think isabella turned him into one

[silent glade]

He needed to secure a kind of life force to be immortal

In this case, he required the life force of humans to stay immortal, and therefore never died to be graveborn?

Because note: he was insulted by death because that equated him to peasantry.

Then again most GB die and are revived / transformed but Vedan was never ... Dead.

And apparently he still socializes amongst the upper class because nobody would think he'd be a mass killer in Ranhorn

[fallow canopy]

I'd like to think he uses makeup to be able to socialize with humans XDDD

[silent glade]

Well yeah

[fallow canopy]

vedan teaching little silvina and isabella how to use makeup to make em look more human

yes please

[tight dove]

okay i hate the paint bucket tool

[fallow canopy]

ah, the good-ol love-hate relationship

i ship it

Eironn x Bucket Tool

[tight dove]

im just gona go sleep

im too frustrated

cya

have fun everyone

[fallow canopy]

have fun with your bucket tool

[river bronze]

Wait when did death call vedan a peasant lmao

[silent glade]

Poor people die

In death he's no different. He finds it insulting.

[river bronze]

Vedan is an asshole but that's part of why I love his character so much lmao

"Death is for the poor"

[silent glade]

Ye

[river bronze]

Hes so extra

[silent glade]

Extra

Is one word for it

[visual lagoon]

A warmup sketch of Ira I did a bit ago, I simple shaded it and called it a day. Note its not this dark irl, used some filters to brighten it up a bit.

[zealous veldt]

Could of drawn anyone but her, she just brings back bad memories but nice pick

Pic*

[fallow canopy]

i wanna draw ira but eh

im gonna do isabella after tasi

[silver flare]

iras cute

that iras cute

[signal mantle]

Just a test. Took me about an hour or two. This is a drawing of Raine, I believe. 🤔

[indigo raven]

Looking good!

[silver flare]

desperately trying to find decent lighting in the middle of the night~

[rain nymph]

Looks great! ^_^

[silver flare]

thank u :' D @rain nymph

[rain nymph]

:D

[silver flare]

i just wanted to draw isa in gothic lolita fashion hehe

[river bronze]

I love it yes

[tight dove]

From last week's art class

We did character designs and i finished this graveborn oc.

Think i might do another graveborn next lesson

[stoic tree]

What does MAKAI mean, ocean side?

[quick raven]

Makai is demon

[stoic tree]

Interesting, cuz it means ocean side in Hawaiian.

[tight dove]

@stoic tree Makai is the name of the character. It's hebrew and means 'who resembles god?'

[tight dove]

also if yall have any ideas for a graveborn character id like to know

[mystic fulcrum]

Can someone draw lucius naked. Ty

[delicate anchor]

😱

[amber flint]

Bruh moment

[tight dove]

maybe that's been drawn already, isabelle

[fallow canopy]

🌚

[silent glade]

@tight dove personally I wanted to do like a graveborn fairy similar to tasi tbh

[tight dove]

hmm

im thinking i might do a dryad

like a deertaur

[silent glade]

Dryads r plant nymphs though

[tight dove]

im thinking of the warcraft 3 dryad

[silent glade]

Druids are probably what you're thinking of

[tight dove]

https://cdn.gamer-network.net/2018/02/27/191735-hearthstonehowtounlocklunaranewdruidhero.jpg

no one of these

wc3 dryads

[silent glade]

Oh ew Lord I don't like her

I played HotS and guh she was a nice dps but I hated her classic skin

[clever solar]

Graveborn fairy could be fun

[silent glade]

Had an idea but nobody will like it trust me

[clever solar]

Oh?

I mean... my likes swing wildly from typical cutesy to horror/macabre

So, never know

[silent glade]

Gross dead bug

I'm used to an art server that demonizes bugs as the worst thing ever

So forgive my natural stance with bugs and saying nobody is gonna like em

[clever solar]

Lol nah. I like bugs irl. Had two Madagascar hissers back in my high school days

Also very keen on snakes. Such good scalebabies

[silent glade]

I have geckos so

[clever solar]

Ooo what kind? :0

[silent glade]

Idk honestly wax worms r soft as fuck and I feel bad feeding them to em

Leos

[clever solar]

Mannn Leos so heckin cute

[silent glade]

One of mine is a half albino and she has a few mental issues it seems but I love her

[clever solar]

Aww. :( I know that feel. Had a bci that was an albino x albino breeding. Resulted in sooo many issues for my girl. Kept her alive for 3 years! Carnivore care was my best friend for her. Lol

[fast crow]

Making the face and I made the mistake of not washing my hands before handling my phone so now my phone is dusty 😂

[fading swallow]

Remind me later to draw some Vedan

I do love me vampiric boys

[silent glade]

@fading swallow draw vedan

[fading swallow]

Later

When I've not got doctors whizzing by

[silent glade]

: ^ (

[twin rivet]

That reminds me how I'm working on another Vedan sketch

[silver flare]

@fast crow good luck keep it going!!!! @tight dove i really like the design a lot : D makes me inspired to make my own oc

[tight dove]

[twin rivet]

And I finished the 2nd sketch! Man do I hate drawing hands qwq

[tight dove]

[silver flare]

[twin rivet]

[silver flare]

[twin rivet]

[silver flare]

[silver flare]

o o f

[silent glade]

Driving is Two Fear

[silver flare]

any post hs plans to like art school or uni or something? : o

i hate driving so much

[twin rivet]

So I'm gonna try to make smart choices to not f uo

@silver flare I'm not going to animation school directly after hs. Too expensive and I need to get myself in order. I'm not ready. So I'm gonna get a job, get my license, save up, and invest

[silver flare]

1. dont do drugs 2) stay in school 3) drink responsibly or not at all

@twin rivet thats really smart!!!! also gives u time to figure out where u wanna go in life > < i feel that going to uni straight out of hs is often a bad and stressful experience

aka what im doing LOL

[twin rivet]

Yeah, I want to be prepared! I already know I want to major in 2-D animation

[silver flare]

chinese parents pressure :' D

awesome!!!!!

[twin rivet]

I have my ACA certification test for Adobe illustrator next week and I have a free retake on that

[silver flare]

ayyy

taking steps

[twin rivet]

So I'm also going to try to get some college for graphic design

Cause I've delved into that world

[silver flare]

sounds like u got a plan i am proud

[silent glade]

I'm stupid thick and doing chem

Yeet

[silver flare]

im just getting an mis degree haaaa

[twin rivet]

My gf is doing bio

@silent glade

[silver flare]

but at least its at a top tier business school so im gonna get money :'l

[twin rivet]

Hey you can use that money to achieve whatever dreams you have

[silver flare]

bc in the end my priority is financial dtability

yep!!!!

and nothing is more financially stable rn than business consulting for tech

[twin rivet]

I plan on making animated shows, so that's my priority cause I have several concepts in the works

And a couple comic concepts too

[silver flare]

oooo good luck with that!!!!!

its so nice to see u have such overarching goals : D

[twin rivet]

Yeah, theres so many characters to keep track of qwq

[silver flare]

o o f

[silent glade]

Speaking of I need to doodle

[silver flare]

creative ppl qre so impressive i only do fanart haha

[twin rivet]

@silver flare aww geeze thanks. I've been planning on making these projects for years now

[silver flare]

@twin rivet it rlly is impressive!!! successful character design and worldbuilding is hard but so awe inspiring

[twin rivet]

Ikr?

I mean if you ever want to see work over done other than fan art (which is such a rarity for me) I can send you some

[silent glade]

I need Vedans art I am drawing something stupid

[silver flare]

later!!! im eating lunch rn haha but im intrigued even tho im basic and only draw fanart looking at orig content inspires me to draw even better fanart lolol

[twin rivet]

@silver flare yeah that's totally fine eat some good food! Eating is very important uwu

[silent glade]

Me: I'm gonna draw Vedan
My brain, playing kahoot music :

[frozen quartz]

XD

[silent glade]

I need to draw the GB in my half ass Burton / Don't Starve style

[silver flare]

i love ur style ferael

10/10

[silent glade]

WHEN WILL ANNIH HAVE A DESIGN??

Aw it ate my message

[fast crow]

I’ll probably be able to finish this head next art class

[crimson rock]

It's kinda cute and a little creepy at this stage

[viral grail]

<@&545792117956673538> , ^

[sharp yoke]

@viral grail ?

[silver flare]

it was a spammer, think he left the server tho

[viral grail]

Yep it was.

[clear marsh]

I banned him

[fallow canopy]

i feel like im not making progress with my tasi art

[silver flare]

wdym?

[fallow canopy]

i did some detailing work and got lazy

[silver flare]

take breaks if u need it. tasi has some really frustrating details

what are u struggling with?

[fallow canopy]

everything

her hair seems a bit hard to draw

[silver flare]

i think it looks quite good so far! hmm i know what you mean.

i believe its pinned back on top with two sidebangs that form curls right?

and i think a braid crown. hard to see tho haha

ye braid crown

but thats not rlly relevant to your perspective

[fallow canopy]

the braid is on the back of her head

[silver flare]

i think youre doing a pretty good job nonetheless

[fallow canopy]

pink into bluish white

[silver flare]

yep yep

[fallow canopy]

i did her hair like this

based on her portrait

[wicked fable]

wait are we only allowed too post afk arena art here?

[silver flare]

yepyep

nonafk goes into off topic

@wicked fable

[wicked fable]

oki

[silver flare]

@fallow canopy ye i can see that!!! i really do think it looks fine so far. dont get too stressed and work on other parts of tasi if u are getting tired with one part :)

[fallow canopy]

her hair would be the most problematic

[silver flare]

how i deal with hair is

i do minimal shading

as if its ~style~

and move one LOL

[twin rivet]

If you're having trouble with the hair, try moving on to a different portion of the piece and then come back to it

@fallow canopy

[tight dove]

Drew this while I was in class

[silent glade]

@fallow canopy her portrait has lots more details than her sprite I think it would be fun to color tbh

[silver flare]

tasi is fun to color :)

but quite a pain compared to some other heroes haha

[silent glade]

idk

ferael gives me a damn headache

[silent glade]

great poem, but non-AFK stuff goes to #545919777907015684

[hexed mortar]

ahhhhhhh

ill move it

[river bronze]

Well speak of the devil I was just working on a piece of him also lmao

Great minds think alike

Bat Bastard™

That's his new title

[hexed mortar]

honestly

so annoying to play against

the enemy always have his ult perfectly timed even if theyre bots

[silent glade]

nobody:
literally no one:
not a single soul:
vedan AI: 🦇

i cant tell if like

[river bronze]

New conept: bats but with knifes

[silent glade]

vedan has full green eyes or if there's a faint pupil/iris

guardians of ga'hoole did that

[river bronze]

O o f

[silent glade]

yeah i cant see the pixels right

[river bronze]

Like super low rez but it looks like his irises r slightly darker

[silent glade]

i have a reference stuff

ok but he matches Isabella and Silvina

and isabella is

like this

[silver flare]

im gonna say theres at least faint irises

bc gb have very faint irises

if their sclera is glowy green

[silver flare]

ye like isa

[silent glade]

and like u can tell her irises are defined

[river bronze]

Vedan is a special boy with special irises

[silent glade]

unlike niru whose eyes have green irises and black sclera.

[silver flare]

imma say vedan has slit eyes

that are a lighter green

[silent glade]

BUT PEOPLE GIVE HIM WONKY ASS TINY EYES LIKE HOW

slit eyes on vampires is so 😩

[silver flare]

ye niru and ferael both have black sclera i think

[silent glade]

yeah

though you cant tell 100% for ferael (or shemira) because of the mask

[silver flare]

interesting now this makes me wonder if theres differing like.... genomes of gb LOL

[river bronze]

🤔

[silver flare]

like what causes green sclera + light green irises

[silent glade]

well

[silver flare]

vs black sclera + green irises

[silent glade]

idk

ferael's transformation was due to an enchantress

and not other GB

[ember harness]

vedan's a vampire, grezhul just reanimated out of hate, thoran and niru were by ritual...

[silent glade]

silvina/isabella/vedan all used dark magic

[river bronze]

Maybe it depends on how they were turned

[silver flare]

i mean in the end its all up to headcanon and the original artist prob didnt think this deeply abt it

[silent glade]

niru revived himself with necromancy rather than GB magic

[river bronze]

Lmao reanimating out of hate

[silent glade]

nah

[river bronze]

I stan

[silver flare]

grez also has the black + green

[silent glade]

i stan the loner edgy archer

the black/green matches the black/red of kane

[river bronze]

I will become undead out of spite if I get killed

[silent glade]

so im about the connection between GB and hypo

Gb take after what Annih look like

and share the greyish toned skin of hypogean

but theyre not demons, only hypogean are

does Annih like the Gb?

or does he hate them for defying death?

[river bronze]

I live for vedans voice. "You will join me dead or alive" like whichever way you prefer daddy

Bastard man

[silent glade]

i will take vedan with just solid colored eyes too

hate the hair, awfult o draw

[river bronze]

I've only attempted to draw his hair 3 times and its already the bane of my existence

Like what does he use to get it like that and why

Rich people hair is stupid

[silver flare]

gb hairspray is impenetrable

looks good tho ferael ^-^

[river bronze]

Speaking of

[rain nymph]

I looked at Niru's portrait finally
And wow, I thought it was just the sprite, but he is astoundingly ugly

[river bronze]

Hey

Hes beautiful in his own way 😤

[rain nymph]

Lol

[river bronze]

Anyways lmao I made some progress on that vedan pic I was talking about earlier

[rain nymph]

Ooh, nice

[river bronze]

O o f the g l a r e

Taking a better pic brb

[rain nymph]

No offense to anyone else who's done art of him
But I think that's the best Vedan I've seen to date

[river bronze]

Ok I fixed it

Sorta

God camera wtf

[silver flare]

yo

i l o v e it

[hot creek]

That's so pretty

[silver flare]

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[river bronze]

His collar is stupid and I love it

Gonna color the one on the right bc I like it best

[silent glade]

you: niru's ugly
me: he's just gaunt and i appreciate the deviation from regular slender frames

[silver flare]

just bc hes ugly doesnt mean his design aint good

[silent glade]

AGAIN you guys says ugly and yet

[fading swallow]

Oh boy 3 am

[silent glade]

i absolutely love the way he looks sorry

thats just the rules

[fading swallow]

Time to draw vampires

[silver flare]

i never said i dont love the way he looks, its ugly good

[fading swallow]

You can like Ugly

[silver flare]

yep

i mean if ur type is thin old dudes with scoliosis i wont judge : p

[silent glade]

except ugly is subjective so

[silver flare]

exactly

i just think hes ugly but i still appreciate his design

[silent glade]

i literally dont give 2 shits for all the wilders bc theyre pretty boring to me

[silver flare]

neato

[silent glade]

like, they're kind of "bland and ugly" to me but not so for u thats what im sayin

[silver flare]

thats also what i said

[silent glade]

😔 hard to appreciate uncanny designs when ppl callin em ugly left n right

[silver flare]

ugly is subjective, so u are right

[silent glade]

also is niru actually old

[silver flare]

nah its not hard. just bc ppl call designs ugly doesnt mean ppl dont like the designs.

[silent glade]

"thin old dude with scoliosis" sounds more like arden

[silver flare]

i mean hes a dad so hes gotta be at least 30s-40s, since i dont think they ever implied sylvestre was a wee bab

[silent glade]

than "lanky necromancer"

[silver flare]

nah arden is kinda stout

LOL

[silent glade]

uhhhhh except like

that means silvestre was like 17/18

[silver flare]

then ill say 30s

[silent glade]

and typically when using "boy" i think of a smaller child

at least around silvina/isabella range

[silver flare]

old dude was just thrown out there since he has a grim reaper look, sorry for pedantics

[silent glade]

hold on let me go check shem's story again

[silver flare]

yo dont argue with me too much on this lmao its not that serious

ill just say u are right

[silent glade]

"child's bedside"

[silver flare]

my guy relax

[silent glade]

im not arguing alice

[silver flare]

pushing the convo, then

[silent glade]

im just lookin at things

[silver flare]

have fun!! ^-^ end all be all, u are free to like niru. i think hes ugly, tho i still like his design. u think wilders are ugly, which is fine, since thats your taste

[silent glade]

well i mean theyre not traditional ugly but they're just kinda bland 2 me

if anything grezghul is ugly. tbh

[silver flare]

and thats your subjective taste :) just like how niru is ugly to me bc of my subjective tastes. i just find that they both have designs i like, regardless.

i like grezhuls sprite but his character art is just. hades.

[silent glade]

opposite for me but also i cant stop thinking about hades

[silver flare]

i like his dorito bod

dgmw tho i still like the character art bc the afk arena artist is sooo good

[river bronze]

I think Niru is beautiful 😤

[silver flare]

i appreciate niru

he and arden got kyphosis tho

[river bronze]

L o n g boy

[silver flare]

l o n g

[river bronze]

Hes wonderful I love him

[silver flare]

but ye lmao im a basic b so i love the cutesy designs

sometimes pretty if im in the mood

[ember harness]

Do we know how Niru was executed? If he was beheaded that could explain his long neck

or hanged...

[river bronze]

I imagined he was hung

Ye

Hhh pls dont quote that out of context

[silver flare]

dislocated neck gang rise up

[river bronze]

I rly need to proof read my messages before hit send lmao

[silver flare]

HAHAHA I JUST REALIZED

amazing

truly

[silent glade]

there's no say he just rose from the grave

[silent glade]

poison? hanging? probably not beheaded

[silver flare]

what if i just only draw isabella and silvina from now on in different gothic lolita and japanese streetwear in general

[river bronze]

Valid

[silent glade]

give them like pants or something p l ea se

got a 👎 on silvina pose,,

[river bronze]

Same like. P sure she's still underage canonically

[silver flare]

u know i got pants for my girls 😎 😎 😎

[river bronze]

UwU

[silent glade]

technically yeah

[silver flare]

isa in gothic lolita

silvina in like. the streetwear style thats blocky, balanced between oversized/tight, and black

i forgot what its called

[silent glade]

no idea

but i'd guess punk

im literally only familiar with steampunk based attire

[ember harness]

Shemira and Niru in Elegant Gothic Aristocrat

[river bronze]

Yes

[silent glade]

raine gives me steampunk vibes, i think thats why i love her

but also i think its her tan skin / pink hair

[silver flare]

i mean its not combat ready but on her casual day off 😎 😎

this shit.....is what i live for

[silent glade]

earlier my computer decided to restart and update so i lost everything previously i gues sim just scuffed

[fading swallow]

Me: DO ART NOUVEAU!

Me: Wait I don't have pencils-

Abort

Abort

[fading swallow]

Iiiii'm taking a break.

[silver flare]

yo wtf that looks so good

u do art nouveau super well

its very inspiring

[fading swallow]

I have never done this style before

LOL

[silver flare]

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[fading swallow]

I'm a simple watercolorist.

[silver flare]

i am a simple sketchist

but fr that looks rlly good

[river bronze]

Idk what I am I'm having an identity crisis lmao

[silver flare]

it inspires me to try afk art nouveau too o v o for wilders maybe

or lb

i like lb alot

[fading swallow]

This game really lends itself to it well I think

With general art direcrion

[silver flare]

yee

with the tarot card like art

or mosaic

either or

[river bronze]

The art is why I downloaded the game in the first place lol

[silver flare]

sameee

[fading swallow]

Can't wait to attempt to do hands in pen

In like an hour

[river bronze]

I saw the ad and I was like "oh hey that looks rly neat"

[fading swallow]

Fail miserably and trash the whole thing

[silver flare]

mood

[river bronze]

Practice on a separate piece w a pencil first then reference

[silver flare]

but im sure itll look good

[fading swallow]

That's my schtick tho

Pen only

[river bronze]

Hands are bitches

[silver flare]

cant fail if u only draw in pencil

aka me

im a pencil bitc
