Character 03

Sat, 12 May 2012 14:15:14 +0000

My character Saphir, another one from my "8 characters project". You can read about this project here http://aeterne.deviantart.com/journal/38785674/.

Summary of the character"
Name: Saphir, probably. (if you have other suggestions please say!)
Involvement: Secondary male character;
Side of a conflict: Phoenix Organization;
Age: 15-16 years old;
Personality: An orphan who was adopted and raised by Trion's (main male character) parents. Very quiet and withdrawn boy. Type of an introvert who hides all the feelings and problems inside and fights them alone. Very unstable emotionally, he was diagnosed with mental illnes (schizophrenia-like disorder) at the age of 10. At the same time he became in possession of some sort of telekinetic power which he can't yet control (it's highly connected to his emotions). Sephir had always looked up to his older stepbrother, admiring him and living in his shadow. However, Trion is the only person whom he trusts and who understands him.
Interests: Adventure stories, biology, zoology;

Snowflake

Mon, 14 May 2012 02:16:22 +0000

This is my character Snowflake that I created purely for practice purposes. I already drew her in many other styles, which you can see here: http://fav.me/d4o06q3. This time however I fully *painted* her in a digital painting technique. (:

Hope you'll like her!

Random title time. ^^
Bah! I haven't been drawing anything for myself for ages. So when the opportunity finally arrived, I randomly picked up one of my 'to-finish' sketches, and this is the effect. Nothing special, but so much fun!

Hope you'll enjoy. : )

The ruins of Nakh-Moreth

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 02:32:32 +0000

Finally something with a proper background. : )

Illustration with characters from my future-written-story. Natalie and Darius among the ruins of Nakh-Moreth. Didn't come out as I had imagined, but well, I guess I'm happy overall.

You can see the sketch of this picture on my blog: http://anako-art.blogspot.com/2012/...eth-sketch.html .

Lady with a... plane?

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:15:49 +0000

I know I know, another portrait. ^^; But this time for practice purposes!! Trying to evolve my style in some way, because I felt like I'm stuck. This girl was highly inspired by Jason Chan's illustrations - if you don't know this guy, you DEFINITELY should check him out! He's a genius. I tried to mimic his way of shading and lighting especially.
She looks a bit plastic, but I'm happy overall.

Oh, the plane? Ah, just a silly random idea.

guardians of the forest

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:12:57 +0000

Finally finished, after a few months of not-having-time-at-all. I'm totally aware that the lighting is totally inconsistent and the wind is blowing in different directions, but let's say that I aimed for a dreamy-like atmosphere! The wolf's fur could be better, but I'm happy overall.

moods of autumn

Sat, 17 Sep 2011 13:03:38 +0000

One of my characters, theoretically. Practically - another portrait done during the break from commercial commissions. Rather quick and pure fun to paint.

Estaera - character concept

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:21:25 +0000

Random character design for a fantasy game/cartoon for kids. I like this style a lot.

Took up to 10 hours (first time I actually tried to count them O_o).

farewell

Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:20:20 +0000

Somehow an illustration from my future-written-story with two main characters - Natalie and Darius. "Somehow" because in reality this scene won't be so romantic.

I already painted the girl, you can see her here: link .

Helena Wiktoria

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 13:58:36 +0000

Last charakcter from the commission samples on deviantART, Helena Wiktoria. I guess you can tell much about her personality from her face expression.

She was really fun to paint.

Lila

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 04:53:03 +0000

Another character portrait made as a commission sample on deviantART. Her name is Lila. She's a cheerful, golden girl who smiles a lot. Because she lost her memories, she acts a bit infantile and is extremely trustful.

I really enjoyed painting her lovely brown eyes and hair! ^^

Anne Marie

Sat, 25 Jun 2011 04:49:18 +0000

This is the fictional character from a story about Russian Revolution. Drawn as a commission sample on deviantART.

The morning After

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 04:20:58 +0000

This is the remake of my old picture 'The morning After', drawn back in 2008. I wanted to challenge myself in painting materials and see how I've improved overall.
If you're not afraid of poor skills, you can see the old version HERE.

Well, the I'm very happy with the effect, although I think it took far too much time than I wish it would.

I hope you'll like it!

Lucy in the sky with a bee

Tue, 31 May 2011 04:37:07 +0000

Lucy the Witch, by beloved OC, whom I haven't drawn for over a year. That is why I decided that she deserves a special treatement and should be painted.

Lucy was originally created with traditional media, so I've never seen her in more than two dimensions. It was quite a challenge - to show this cartoon-like character in three dimensions and yet keep her cuteness. I think I managed to achieve it, although I had to give her a nose she didn't have earlier... :P

I hope you'll like her. :>

don't come near me

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 07:26:56 +0000

Something painted during the break from doing my character series. Picture with no deeper purpose, but I wanted a sexy yet dangerous girl with a dagger, yeah. I like the overall effect, although the theme is boring as hell. I shall do something more ambitious, definitely.

character 01

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 07:26:07 +0000

This is the first character from my "8 character project" where I draw main characters from my future-written-story. Her name will probably be Natalie, and you can read about her here: http://aeterne.deviantart.com/art/character-01-200210144 . I just love the way her face came out.

There are also some details that can be seen here: http://anako-art.blogspot.com/2011/03/character-01-details.html .

hairstorm

Sat, 16 Apr 2011 08:32:34 +0000

Something I did in between my commercial work, didn't took long, but many people say it's my best work so far. *shrug*

BUT, it was chosen for EXPOSE 9, yay!

I wanted to paint a girl with rather original beauty, but with no direct reference or inspiration. Just because.

Alexz Johnson

Thu, 27 Jan 2011 15:23:32 +0000

THE PROCESS AND CLOSE-UPS CAN BE SEEN UNDER THIS LINK ON MY BLOG.

So yeah, my first try with a photorealistic potrait, because before I've never really aimed for photorealism, since I don't find it creative. But, it was done for practice purposes and I'm very proud of the effect, that's why I'm submitting it here. No tracing, no color picking, just painting from what I see. The reference picture is here: [link] .

This is Alexz Johnson, a Canadian singer & actress with such a beautiful face, that once I saw it, I knew I'd paint her. I'm not even a fan, although she has a very pretty voice, too. :3 I showed her this portrait of course, and she liked it! <3

Critiques & tips are very welcome! I know I messed up the hand, and the hair isn't right - but I'd die if I was to recreate it identically.

The most hard part: catching the propotions.
The most boring part: the hair. @_@
The most easy part: guessing the colors (that was a surprise)
The most fun part: the pores :la:

Enjoy!!!

GAIA

Sun, 09 Jan 2011 03:01:50 +0000

My contribution to slashTHREE 15th art pack, called Paradigm Shift. I kindly command you to go here and check it out by yourself!

This is Gaia. The goddess of the Earth, the fairy of the forests. With my little twist, making her a bit more 'cyborgish' here. ^^

I honestly wanted to practice painting lips, but it would be a shame not to add any deeper meaning. lo

Enjoy!

A broken firefly has landed after her last flight and is waiting slowly to burn out.

Ok, forget the ideology, in fact this picture has no deeper and logical meaning, I just painted what I had in mind. Practiceeee!

My most detailed painting so far. The gown almost killed me!
This is my friend's character, Fanaa, dressed as a peacock fairy. I truly loved this idea. Hopefully, I'll be doing a series of similar faeries and princesses illustrations soon, for a book. Wish me luck!

Here are some details for you:

I hope you'll like it!

Face practice! Not there yet, but a bit closer.
It was supposed to be just a quick painting, but I - of course - couldn't resist adding a few details here and there... which lead me to the full rendering, lol.
No deeper meaning, just pure fun with colours and such.

Any feedback & critique will be welcome!

I'm trying out a different style and process of painting. This picture turned out to be one of my most detailed work, so I'd appreciate if you look at the close-ups available on my blog. : )

I can't say anything about the girl - create your own story. ; ) I hope you like it.

Yeah, maybe the idea with colourful tears isn't that much imaginative, but I think it suits the whole picture. She's despearte yet rather calm.

I hope you like it!

Work created completely with practice purposes, so the fox and the girl are put totally at random. It's funny that suddenly it became a very interesting story...
