wow this looks great! :fuzcool: i like the pose and the concept of this drawing very much n.n cool!!!

Splat 11-02-2009 04:06 AM

Pretty cool. I don't think his mouth is quite right but considering you didn't look at any references it's really good! I like the stylistickiness of the moon, too.

Dryadri 11-03-2009 11:10 PM

Thanks again everyone ;) And yeah, there's something not right about him...it's probably the mouth now you've pointed it out Splat.

OddYouko 11-05-2009 03:15 PM

That's very good! The background looks awesome too!
Really love that little saying at the bottom left corner. :D

Abe looks really good and I love the coloring. :happy:
The Scrab is really creepy down below in the background too!
Very very nice! Awesome style!~ *stalks on DA* :lol:

Thank you! The saying is a verse from Breaking Benjamin's 'Blow Me Away' :D

Dryadri 11-09-2009 01:34 PM

We have more :D I'm afraid they're mostly Zoe though, I promise more canon Oddworld characters will be on their way soon enough ^^; The end one has absolutely nothing to do with OW, I just wanted to post it xD

Splat 11-09-2009 02:28 PM

Man, I LOVE the new pictures of Zoe! (Though I have no idea what W.I.P means :p - work in progress?)
It's good to finally see her feet; I love the pose in the first picture, and the tongue-sticking-out sketch made me laugh - her expression reminds me of road-runner :p

And the slog is awesome, too :D Happy slog is happy!

Lol, thanks ^^ Yeah W.I.P is work in progress, as there's going to be a scar reference there or something.
I know! I've been meaning to draw a full body picture for ages, they don't seem to agree with me xD She has very birdy/lizardzy feet.

slig# 5719 11-10-2009 09:23 AM

I love all of those pictures. The slog made me smile. Although I do agree with Splat about abe's mouth (but improving's half the fun.) I Wish I could draw like that.

Dryadri 11-12-2009 12:14 PM

Thank you ^^ I'm glad you like them...and the slog :D Yes, I'm always looking to improve! ^^

OddYouko 11-13-2009 09:26 AM

Is Zoe your character? She's very pretty! :D
The first and second pics have beautiful colors. I like them!
The third one is really cute! The Slog is just so adorable! And that one creature looks awesome! Love it's colors. Even if it doesn't have anything OW related.

Can't wait to see more and I'm stalking you on DA. :lol: Just kidding. ;)

Yep, she's my FC.
hanks a lot for the kind words ^^ I didn't see the point of giving the furry canine creature a thread so I shoved it in here xD

I be stalking you too ;) lol!

scipionyx 11-13-2009 12:25 PM

oh wow! these are really cool! I especially like the rainbow coloured one... Zoes pose is epic!!! awesomeness... but they are all awesome <3

the last drawing is interresting too :D what is it? :3

Dryadri 11-17-2009 12:23 PM

Thanks again Scip :) The last one is my sadistic fursona, but you've already seen that on dA ;)

Dryadri 11-22-2009 09:40 AM

I haven't updated this thread with anything new in a while, I've been pretty busy with other stuff. Mainly school, art block and shit =/ All I managed to do today was a few concept art/sketches, because I need to practice sligs a LOT.
So here's two sligs, one in my toon style and one not. Two scrabs, a young one and an older one and Zoe (again) bothering some intern friend of hers...she looking kinda suggestive :fuzemb:

AlexFili 11-22-2009 10:39 AM

Incredible! Especially the Sligs

scipionyx 11-22-2009 01:21 PM

wow you're really good at drawing Scrabs! :D and I lurve the picture with Zoe and the Intern >.<

your drawing style is unique and interresting :D

don't worry about the Sligs I'm sure you'll soon get the hang of drawing them even better... because they already look nice :p I especially like the left one n.n

Splat 11-22-2009 03:58 PM

The scrabs are really cool; I love the little joke conversation there :p
The sligs are pretty good, too; I think the tails taper off sooner though, making them shorter.

And Zoe is awesome as ever! :D Wonder what she's saying (or, you know, communicating) to the intern...

Lol, yeah I thought of that after reminiscing playing AE and how many times I was slaughtered by scrabs xD
I'll keep sketching sligs, hopefully will improve :)

I don't know, maybe she's just generally being silly? Or some other intern gave her 'designer pharmaceuticals' on their break, pep pills or something! :D

Thank you! I need keep practising with sligs a little more, after all you'll want Ramon to look good ;)

Thanks, you really have an obsession over sligs, huh? xD

Dryadri 11-26-2009 01:46 PM

A little update with something, again I can only manage sketches until this weekend when I can get to work on my contest entry, an art trade and stuff.
There's some head sketches of guys from Zoe's race and one of Zoe if she was a native and non of her being taken away to the labs had ever happened, it would be in her 'teen' years before she developed her fattiness...for those who are interested.

The other is my contest entry, I just had to post it somewhere until I finished it and wrote a bit about them so I wont say much. I've had these guys in my head for a while now though, so I'll probably make a character out of it (the top left ;))

Splat 11-26-2009 02:50 PM

I love the native Dryadri (the open-mouthed guy looks a bit Hyena-y); it'd look great in colour. My only thought is how the bits of string or whatever between their pierced ears would work if their ears lowered to the sides of their head, like in the first picture of Zoe. I always sort of imagined the ears moving depending on the Dryad's mood.

And the water-creature is very cool, too. The legs look great and I love the little arms between the front legs, quite original.

enchilado 11-26-2009 03:02 PM

Loving it. The Dryadri are very cool, I must say.

The sea-thing also I like, but it doesn't quite look as though it's built to swim well in the water. Nevertheless all these drawings are very nice, and I'd like to see some more.


~I want to post my own... but stupid scanner won't work D:<

Dryadri 11-27-2009 11:52 AM

@Enchilado, Thank you.

All will be explained when I post my entry in the contest thread ;) I've written all I can think of explaining them and how they get around, so look out for it.
Have you tried taking a picture? I know it'll probably turn out crap compared to a scanned picture, but it's better than nothing, right?

@Splat, thanks. I need to colour at least one picture of a 'real' Dryadri, just to show how much Zoe differs from them. The bits of string are quite loose and allow some movement of the ears, Dryadris choose whether or not they have them but they are a fashion. The ears do move when they're angry or trying to listen out for something, but are generally upright and forward.

scipionyx 11-29-2009 08:07 AM

oh wow! I love how you drew Munch! <3 and the feral expression of the Dryadri is epic too ;)

great drawings :D & good luck with the contest ^^

Dryadri 12-01-2009 12:51 PM

Lol, it's not Munch xD But I'll let you off because all gabbits look the same :P

Thanks a lot ^^ I can't wait to see Avatar btw.

scipionyx 12-02-2009 07:27 AM

oh ok sry ^^; ...so is it one of your OC's then or just a random Gabbit? :fuzblink:

yeah I also can't wait to see that movie 8D it's already one of my fav's ^.^ kyaaaa <3

oh btw: next week after i write my maths and physics exam i'll start drawing at our art trade ;)

Dryadri 12-02-2009 11:58 AM

I don't know yet xD Until I think of something it's just a random gabbit, I plan to make fun little characters out of both of them though.

It's not even advertised over here yet, well at least I don't think it is. I want to see it though :D

That's fine, good luck with your exams btw ;)

Dryadri 12-03-2009 01:39 PM

Aww, people are losing interest :( probably because of my lack of fanart and so much original stuff.
But anyway, I haven't been drawing a lot lately but I have had the urge to write, which is weird because I never write!

Memories of the unwanted

Out here where the moon shines bright,
Where only the strongest survive the night,
Abandoned, freezing and departing the sane,
With no one to help me get through this pain.

When my life all went wrong, oh, the memories I see,
Of what you sick bastards dared do to me,
How could I not notice? Your ways are so sly,
For making me believe what was all just a lie.

When trouble was caused you tossed me aside,
It wasn’t my fault that I practically died,
I lay there unconscious as you stitched my cuts,
Piecing together who could be the culprits.

I made my recovery and thought all would be well,
Until back at work where the feeling was hell,
The tension between my friends and my foes,
Was too much to take, so of me you’d dispose.

So now I’m here, starved and alone,
With nowhere I can really call home,
I’m wishing you realise what you have done,
But you don’t care do you? Of that I’m certain.

Don't slaughter me, I'm not a writer at all, but sometimes I do enjoy writing the odd poem (no pun intended). I've also worked my lazy butt off to write something about Zoe and her species, the Dryadri, so there's a word document explain everything relevant I could think of about them if anyone is still interested. I would really appreciate it if you did read it :) Questions are welcomed ;)

I'm hoping to work on an Oddmas picture to put up too, because I never get round to drawing holiday pictures and I think it's about time I did one since I missed the chance to do something for Halloween. That doesn't mean I will though, it's a big if.

enchilado 12-03-2009 02:18 PM

I haven't lost interest! You just haven't posted in a while!

That's really good poetry, and I read the whole thing on Dryadri. And you draw them really well :)

Splat 12-03-2009 02:43 PM

I am awful at poetry so anyone who can pull one off is good in my books, and that was very good; I did enjoy it a lot.
The Dryadri info was also interesting and quite revealing! You know you could probably link to those songs on youtube?
Anyway, t'was good.

Also, your sig rocks! ;)
