My RP chracter from Feralheart. I know it sucks, but I thought I'd post it anyway. XD

Also, that WIP is lokking great, Keep.

Hooran- please don't belittle your own work. Cutting yourself down may save others the effort of doing it, but in most cases no one will ever be as critical of your own work as you are. Please love what you do, and if you are dissatisfied with something, constructive critique only for yourself please.


Caught the stomach flu last night and spent today recovering, wasn't able to get much done :/

Pretty sure I'm not gonna finish this one today, so thought I'd go ahead and share the wip here.

A very vague Baal and the Ghost Fawn. I'm completely game for any critiques since it's such a rough sketch.

Ah thankyou Unplugged! I didn't even see that. xD It's always nice to get another pair of eyes on something, I just miss so much when I stare at it for so long. >.<
I'm going to have to redo Baal a bit just because I didn't do that too, his shoulder is wonked. And my hoof anatomy is always flawed. I'll get it right one of these days. Thankyou for the input, I really appreciate it. ^^

Lineart, linked for size.

brilliant keepiru


nice pencil shading eyestrain

Screw you I am hijacking this thread because I need it.

Eh, been inspired lately. Sorryyy. What the hell is a dragon.

had no paper in class so I drew on an envelope

Sao - Those eyesss<3 T_T
ClockWork - Yayowls<3 Teehee, awesome, the blood from its eyes are kinda creepy but I like it.
Eyestrain - Love how all your pieces of work are different from one another.. Awesome. Haah, would make a pretty good envelope design :3

God I hate rendering. It's so annoying

The same lineart but colored, working on a new ref sheet.

I love what you all make this thread.


(note: there is info for a free drawing if you follow the link)

More Harmony practice.

(Linked for size) I was painting a Ravenflight and Rajan sketch that Lea made last year, but Ive lost my muse for it again. Probably for the best really. I need to let them go.

(Linked for size) Ravey about to blow ALL the things up. More than a michael bay film.

@Unplugged
Maybe the shape of an animal in the distance?
But I don't think it looks boring in its momentary state.

Yes, I've thought about adding a deer or something Amazegenalo, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't end up looking too.. tacky. Thanks
[e]: Baalninja-- Yes! I definitely would if only I had more space. :s Maybe I'll manage to fit something in anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

I held my hand in front of the screen to cover up the bottom half of that bottom section and found that makes it more interesting.

Charcoal. an accidental.

Today, it's a drabble. I thought of a scene from a story I began writing ten years ago, but haven't touched for quite some time. Please pardon the abrupt start.



===================

"When you cut these hair, you forget all your life spent growing it. Every happy and every sad memory is gone. The faces of your family. The places you have been.
These is your soul hair, that grow from your mind. These are the hair of your memory. Do you cut them?"

"I cut them."

"Why do you do this thing?"

"I cut my memory to clean myself. I cut my hair to throw away my life."

"Seagull. You have always been like a son to me. Though I have not been like a father to you. When you go, we must pretend you are dead. We will mourn you. But in my secret heart I hope you leave here to begin to live at last. I hope you find what you have been hoping for and dreaming of. Let go of all these life you have with us, empty your hands, and take hold of new life."

Seagull who will become Blank lowers himself to his knees and lays his cheek on the gouged surface of the chopping block. He shuts his eyes and Basalt raises the knife for the gathered crowd to observe. A flicker of light catches on the blade and it glints blindingly for a brief second against the low, gray-blue clouds that hide the sun. He roughly grabs Seagull's bound hair, looming over his unresisting nephew, and dips the knife down in a flash, bringing both arms up in a gesture of victory in battle, the long ponytail limp as a dead fish in one hand, silver-white strands splayed across his black forearm; the razor bright and sharp in the other raised hand. Though this "beheading" let no blood, the young man lays on the block as if dead, eyes closed. A single moan of despair cuts through the gentle birdsong and rustling of leaves. The rest are silent, out of respect or inability to find the right expression. The voice was Snow's, the only one who weeps for the end of his life there.

Basalt's golden eyes seem unnaturally bright, damp with emotion, his gaze wide and intense. He lowers the knife-hand, shaking the banner of hair for emphasis.
"This, we keep! We keep Seagull! Our young brother!" He turns and points at no-longer-Seagull, who remains unmoving on the stained block, eyes closed as in sleep. "And this? This we throw away! To the out-lands!" The last words were a command and the gathered people know this. They shuffle somberly forwards, touching Seagull's hair reverently as they pass Basalt to reach the young man's body. They lift his slight frame until he is held above by their many open hands. Specially bathed for his final day, the constant dirt and mud brushed carefully from his white fur, his scrawny body seems to glow against the dull gray of the surrounding world. He is carried peacefully, as if on a wave, into the forest. To the borders. Out of the world they know.
Basalt and Snow stay behind. Basalt sets the knife wordlessly on the block, his hand spread over the bone hilt, as if to hide it. When he buries his face in the clean hair and weeps, she leans against his tall, hard shoulder and hides her eyes in her hands.

concept. not sure if I want the harness.
