Personal artwork
 
This is actually the sequel to the thread "My odd pictures". I made this because I thought the old thread became too full. And secondary, I thought I need a better and more appropriate name for a non-oddworld art thread of mine.

However, I know this thread always becomes fuller in future than my oddworld art thread. It is just my 100% personal artwork. And I think, I always draw them all a little impulsively than the oddworld characters which actually aren't from me. The pictures of this thread are just closer to my heart too. I consider them to be a small representation of my personal expressions as an artist.


Anyway, the pictures with which I start this brand-new thread are here:





"Serious soul-searching"

"The mysterious nonnative"


http://oddworldforums.net/attachment...1&d=1159449560






I plan to color them soon.

WOW...cool creatures....and the anatomy is perfect :eek::eek:

Creepy Doc 09-28-2006 06:05 AM

Hey, that's really impressive! The anatomy, the expressions... nice! Good job!

Matriar 09-29-2006 02:15 AM

Bad news...
 
The computer with which I used Photoshop got a computer virus yesterday so I must not use it anymore till it's fixed...
Wow, I got pretty hysterical because of this virus. There still are much works of mine which aren't finished yet and which I can't send via e-Mail to my own computer and which I can't burn on a CD because of that stupid virus. And now they are on the verge of deleting themself... :banghead: Aaaarrgh! Maybe I worked for days and weeks for nothing!

No! :eek:

Does this mean you can't show any pictures anymore, till then? Not even oddworld pictures?


It's a great pity... :( Really.

Aww, I'm really glad that you admire my handiwork that much. :)

Creepy Doc 10-05-2006 11:43 AM

But it's true. I love the melancholic expressions of your creatures.

Arxryl 10-05-2006 08:58 PM

Those are pretty friken' sweet! Great job! Like others have said, great job on anatomy!

Steef Head 10-06-2006 02:12 PM

Dang, those sketches are really good! Too bad about the photoshop though... :(

Finally(!) my computer is ok again.
So now I have to make up many new pictures...

This is the Priestess again:

When I thought about the look of her mother then I used this to draw that at last:.

http://oddworldforums.net/attachment...1&d=1162554402

(So when I will draw the father of that creature in my first post of this thread then I'll use this for inspiration.)








When I was (weirdly) happy then I doodle this here:

http://oddworldforums.net/attachment...1&d=1162554625



After that I began to like that one little sprite in the middle, down of the paper.
And I thought he would be the perfect leader of a trio of rascals:D. This picture isn't finished yet but it would look like this:

http://oddworldforums.net/attachment...1&d=1162554625








When I drawed this last picture I felt... just lonely. I was reminding of some bad experiences and I tried to catch the feelings of it which I had when I was a kid. Because I had a hard childhood...

dripik_12 11-03-2006 10:27 AM

Wow:eek: great pics:D

The last one is so sad:crying:

(you have a hard childhood?:()

I don't want to get some pity or something because I said that. :)
I just want to let you know about the inspiration of that one last picture. It was just a sketch with which I tried to catch some feelings of mine into a picture. Sometimes I can make peace with the elapsed happenings so.

Creepy Doc 11-03-2006 01:33 PM

Wow, I can't choose which one will be my favorite! I love them all, the priestess, her mother, your crazy sketch, your trio... even the last, sad picture I do love in a strange way!

I also like to see artists which show where they got their inspirations from. :) That's interesting to know for me.

ziggy 11-04-2006 08:15 PM

aww thats so sad...

Matriar 11-07-2006 07:10 AM

Well, THIS happens if you leave me alone with Photoshop for four days :D:

"The Priestess"

Creepy Doc 11-08-2006 12:13 AM

:eek:...

Whoah! That is amazing!! :D So this is what you worked for all the last days. Good job, Maid!

Wow, four days...

dripik 11-08-2006 04:46 AM

Good drawings there. The PhotoShop'ed one looks great. That fog-like effect takes the character out from the background nicely, and the colors are good too.

dripik_12 11-08-2006 09:58 AM

Wow:eek:That pic is amazing:)

I can't help, I like fog.^^ It also did suit the mysterious, dangerous priestess.

ziggy 11-08-2006 02:42 PM

i like it!

Matriar 11-17-2006 02:16 PM

Okay, this is a sketch of many strange animals now.
Perhaps it could be inspiring for all artists of you but, to say the truth, I just doodled those creatures when I was bored, hehe. :)

Arxryl 11-17-2006 03:28 PM

I was just about to say that looks like something I'd doodle during a class....
Great job! The amount of creativity put into those is awesome.

Creepy Doc 11-18-2006 03:12 AM

Good job, Stranger's Maid! (...even it's "just" a sketch out of boredom)
I like that frowning cat creature. :D The other ones are cool too.
That animal with antlers between the blue-colored creatures in the middle of the paper looks specially crazy, hehe! :D

dripik_12 11-18-2006 04:22 AM

cool:DThey look a funny too:)

Matriar 11-19-2006 02:14 AM

Wow, thank you guys! :)
Those comments make my day. ^^

Creepy Doc 11-19-2006 04:09 AM

Hey, no problem. :)

Matriar 11-27-2006 02:20 AM

Okay, those are sketches of two members of my invented trio which I drew before. I don't have names for them yet.


1. The girl which can do everything pretty ably.
2. The strongman for everything hardly. I thought about giving him a tatoo on his arm but I don't have any ideas about its look yet. :)

dripik_12 11-27-2006 04:06 AM

those are awesome!!!:D
I thing that tatoo is a good Idea:)

Matriar 11-27-2006 08:25 AM

Thanks!:)
Well, his expression and his look is almost seaman-like.
So I thought: Every seaman have some tatoos on their strong arms!

...but, at last, I couldn't find a matching seaman tatoo yet which was not an anchor or a naked mermaid. :laugh:

Creepy Doc 11-28-2006 07:17 AM

Nice sketches! :)

LOL, nah that would not match at all!

Maybe a scorpion or a snake?

Good tips. Maybe I'm going to do that but not yet. Currently, I got much other things to do, you know. :)


Okay, I must save this thread's life on this forums. Well, here are more pictures.
(But the most of them are photos which I made in my own town. I hope you'll like them anway.)

1. Chipmunk Mafia (I came up with the idea about making cute animals evil :evil: )
2. Street at night
3. Street light
4. Twilight (my favorite photo)

Creepy Doc 01-01-2007 04:43 AM

:lol: Chipmunk Mafia is great! Really great! I couldn't stop grin for a long time after I saw it.

The photos are pretty. Yes, the last one is the best, I think.

Arxryl 01-01-2007 07:29 AM

Those are really good! I like the twilight picture a lot!

Yes, that's really cool. It's funny, I took that photo when I went out to give my camera the guys which develop my current photos.

dripik_12 01-01-2007 10:10 AM

WOW....Nice pics I like the 1th and the 4th pic the most:D

Matriar 01-01-2007 10:27 AM

Thanks, dripik_12! :)


New pictures.

1. Trio Leader sketch (I don't have a name for him yet.)
2. Trio Leader with Sue (Susan, the girl of the trio. First meeting. Too long story. :) )

I guess, I'm going to make a comic about the story of that tramp trio. More informations you can read here (under artist's comment).

3. Another sketch which is kinda macabre, I think. He's a demon who pulled his own heart out because he couldn't stand the pain anymore. But he didn't feel better after doing that. Not at all...
I drew him when I tried to put some special feelings of mine into a picture.

Arxryl 01-01-2007 11:52 AM

those look like very interesting characters! Good job!

Creepy Doc 01-02-2007 01:28 AM

Really cool characters. I'm sure that trio will make a great comic.

I don't think that's macabre (...I'm creepy anway) but interesting stuff to build stories!
