By the way: My sabertooth skeleton became finally marked at school...
The mark wasn't perfect but very good. The teacher also said: I did very well!

)

Are ya kiddin'!?
It looks superb!
Maybe you should put a lil' skin on the next rough draft, so we can see a real sabre tooth.

Aha!

That's why the picture didn't get a perfect mark! I knew I forgot something...skin! LOL

Well...
here are some sketches of a little guy I invented some months ago.
Enjoy:

Sketch 1 (There it was the first time I drew it)

And sketch 2 (I finished this picture today)

O.o
Looks like a gremlin. XD

Matriar · #66 05-30-2006, 06:36 AM

Do you mean, it looks cute or it looks ugly like a gremlin

?

(What's the difference between ugly and cute to me? To me, oddworld's strangest person?

"Yikes

that nasty thing is so... so... it's sooo cute

!!!)

I think the cutest pose is the one when it is cross-legged.

Dark Elite_H2 · #67 06-01-2006, 12:29 PM

Umm...the cute gremlin?
I mean...it's evil, but it's cute too. ^.^
It's evil, but in a cute way XD

Matriar · #68 06-09-2006, 06:59 AM

I drew this female plant-like creature at school. (Wow, was I bored...)

What do you think?

E'l Scrabino · #69 06-15-2006, 02:36 AM

NICE! Branch thingy for tail + bark for body = Awesome stuffs!

Matriar · #70 06-15-2006, 11:04 AM

Thank you, E'l Scrabino!

I once made my own signature symbol for my pictures some days ago. My symbol looks like:

I think, I will always put it on the corner of my future pics.

The next picture I did is right here. Uuhm... only the guys who like tragedies should have a look at this one. Trust me. Maybe it's too bitter for ya. Well, here it is:

EDIT: Huh? Where's my pic?

That sucks...

Did it work this time? I don't know.
My computer drives my crazy.

Matriar · #71 06-23-2006, 06:38 AM

Hey. Comments are welcome.

Any feedbacks? My picture was too creepy for you, I guess.
Well, it doesn't make any difference to me. However...

Matriar · #72 06-25-2006, 12:23 AM

Another creepy one. I did this picture some weeks ago.

Dusan · #73 06-25-2006, 12:33 AM

Matriar · #74 06-25-2006, 03:57 AM

...thanks.

What do you mean with "

Is it me or is that Jenna?

Matriar · #76 06-30-2006, 12:04 AM

Actually, it is Jennadelle. But she's... just... you know...
that's a too long story.

Don't you like the picture?

E'l Scrabino · #77 06-30-2006, 12:05 AM

Yes, i loved it! And i'm 'ere all night, i'd like to listen to the story! (cureeosoty compels me to delve deeper)

Matriar · #78 06-30-2006, 12:14 AM

I'm glad.
I started to work on a fan fiction story about Jennadelle some weeks ago. The only little problem is to translate it in english. But I guess the first chapter is finished in one or two weeks...
Well, in this fan fiction you can read the "too long story". I ask for your patience

E'l Scrabino · #79 06-30-2006, 12:15 AM

here you go *hands of patience*

Matriar · #80 06-30-2006, 12:21 AM

here you go *hands-off grin*

Dancing Steef · #81 06-30-2006, 01:26 AM

Wow these pictures are so awesome!!!

the one in the prison and the one with Jenna are my favs

Good work!

I know pretty much all you hear on these forums is just flattery, which is fun to get, but if you don't get a serious criticism, you're never going to get better, so here I go:

I have a problem with a lot of the hands and feet in your creature drawings, they seem out of proportion with the rest of the creatures, and the feet in particular face at odd angles when they touch the ground. Like the front legs of the horse-like thing in your latest 'creepy' drawing. The angles at which the feet are pointing are all the same, save for the front left, which seems to be protruding forward. If that creature were 3-D, the legs would all be different lengths and they'd be in a very uncomfortable position, not at all suited for carrying the weight of the other creature.

My advice would be to draw skeletal stick figures, and not skeletal in the traditional sense, with bones and that sorts of thing, but just very, very basic mannequin-like people/creatures with all the proper joints and proportions. I'm no teacher, so looking up a quick tutorial online would be a great course of action, and from those sorts of drawing excersizes you'd learn a lot about posture and how weight is carried, which will significantly improve your sketches.

And remember, I wouldn't write all this up if I didn't think you had any skill.

Matriar · #83 07-01-2006, 09:14 AM

I'm not that good in drawing yet. I already know this

But I'm working on it. There are mistakes I made. And maybe I'll do some more little mistakes in future.
Well, it isn't so important to me.

I only started to draw to show the feeling I had in my life and the ones I'm going to have all the time. That's more important to me. Drawing is just more than a piece of paper and some pencils...

If the feet are having a oblique angle then turn the whole picture some degrees

. Maybe it works.

Drawing is thousands of times more than paper and pencils. Unfortunately, you have to be adept with such things to make your drawings easy to understand and meaningful, let alont aesthetically pleasing. I was just under the impression that you wanted to get better, maybe to convey your feelings more clearly. Guess notski.

'Fraid not, little lady.

I still implore that you try out my suggestions, because you do have talent, and I'd love to see you use it to the fullest.

Matriar · #85 07-02-2006, 06:24 AM

Yes.

Sure, I'm going to try out your suggestions.

You know, I just had to tell you what drawing means to me.

Dusan · #86 07-02-2006, 06:47 AM

I like Kimmon's comments. I would like to post somthing like that, but my "english" is so bad and you probably wouldn't understand a thing (used sad that to me, is he right?), and I will look like a fool to rest of a people (but i'm not, I just like to use long sentences) .

I respect that!

Matriar · #87 07-02-2006, 06:58 AM

Hey lad, english isn't my mother-tongue too

.
...I mean I needed to look up some words to understand what Kimon wanted to say me

. But I understood every messages of you because your words are not that difficult to me...!
I just want to say you're not the only one who feels helpless sometimes...

Dusan · #88 07-02-2006, 07:08 AM

What is hard to understand in "great" or "very good"

.
What is your "mother-tongue"?

Matriar · #89 07-02-2006, 07:36 AM

...german.
But I'm perfect in spoken and written in this language after all. Who other than me can this?

(I'm just a dork who wants to be something special... so dismiss me.)

Kimon · #90 07-09-2006, 06:51 PM

Stranger's Maid, I'm surprised. You're quite articulate for someone of another tongue. Well-done. And Dusan, I'm sure you'll get better with practice. Just keep on trying.

Awww, Fan Corner brings out the nice in me.
