Daw, I love 'im!

*hugs Shyridon* Wild but adorable. Nice combo.

You should be very proud of yourself, he's gorgeous.

The pose looks natural and the cheeky expression is to die for.

PS. Eats alot? Wow, sounds like Bailey don't he?

Hehehe, I like this picture too because of the sweet belly and his red hair. Caligo will look good too, believe me

Thanks for the comments. The following picture is a gift to Dipstikk. Actra crying because she feels left alone. A bigger version of that picture can be seen at my gallery on deviantArt. Have fun!

Dipstikk · #63 03-03-2006, 09:30 AM

You're the best, Alector.

Thank you.

Alector · #64 03-05-2006, 02:23 AM

I'm glad you liked it, though I forgot so much detail in her face and ears. I want to do a series of Actra's dilemma, if you allow me that.

So, friends. The next character is the wonderful Caligo! lol
Also known as blue-eyed, black-haired Steef. The one with the chinese touch.

Name: Caligo
Hair colour: black brown, black
Fur colour: light brown
Eye colour: blue

Characteristics: Caligo is quiet and wants to be alone most time. He is mystical and his voice is deep. Some people call him Assassino because of his look, but Caligo isn't agressive or insideous. Caligo has a big self-esteem but would never show off. He likes to watch other Steefs or animals and thinks about them. Because of his look, some Steefs used to avoid the contact with Caligo because they feared his glowing blue eyes and his figure.
Abilities: When someone is in danger or when Caligo gets angry because of enemies, he can get very strong and dangerous, but would never forget his
friends.

Uh, that was a quick drawing but I hope you like it anyway. XD

Hi, sorry for the double post again

The following picture isn't that nice:

A Steef was wandering to find something he searched for. He knew that he was old and the journey he made was dangerous and could have taken his life. But he wanted to risk it and wandered in a desert to reach his destination. Because of his age, he was weaker then the other Steefs. In his life, he reached much and got everything he wanted. But this time, nature wanted to have him back and death was faster than his victory.
This Steef fell down and even his fingertips couldn't touch the water anymore. The clouds in the picture show the coming rain and his face shows us his coming decomposition. His position looks as if he fought against the might of the nature and his eyes are wide open as if he saw his destiny.

LoboDiabloLoneWolf · #66 03-05-2006, 03:23 AM

That's a very emotional picture Alector, and very strong. It's good and you should be proud of it. And it shows a good lesson; keep fighting, whatever the odds maybe...

Alector · #67 03-05-2006, 05:54 AM

Thanks for the good words

Now, this picture will be the funniest in this topic! Myself as a Steef! Oh yeah! Harharhar!

Dancing Steef · #68 03-05-2006, 08:01 AM

Alector · #69 03-07-2006, 11:27 PM

Hi, thankie

When I have a day of inspiration, I sometimes draw four or five pictures plus several sketches. Yesterday, I drew many sketches at school. Below this, Caligo and Shyridon belongs. The next three pictures will show you Shyridon from the back and from the side, crawling and Caligo sleeping.

Have fun

LoboDiabloLoneWolf · #70 03-08-2006, 02:36 AM

Wow, they are good.

Shyridon's dead furry ain't he?

Brilliant! *hugs Shyridon* I likes fuzzy things.

And that's a really good drawing on him sneaking along, the anatomy is dead on.

And daw, Caligo sleepin' = mega cuteness

Dancing Steef · #71 03-08-2006, 02:47 AM

Awwwwww those pics are so great

I love 'em and especially this one:

*gasp and gush* He's so CUTE

Great artwork Alector n' I'm lookin' forward to more

~DS~

Matriar · #72 03-12-2006, 02:30 AM

Wow.
Respect!

Alector · #73 03-26-2006, 10:30 PM

Hey, thanks friends! You should already know that Lobo is a great author of a great story here in the Oddworldforums. Both of us had an idea to make Chapter pics, which will be shown above every chapter. Dancing Steef and I are going to draw those for each chapter.

I stareted to work on the next new chapters. Of course, I won't tell you what happens in them but I want to give you a short taste of the next chapters by showing you two chapter pics.

No explaination needed for insiders

Enjoy

Dancing Steef · #74 03-26-2006, 10:36 PM

Awww those are so sweet Alector

especially the last one

ya almost make me jealous

Bailey n' Haigar are soooo cute

*gasps twice*

~DS~

Alector · #75 04-02-2006, 11:11 AM

Hi!

Thanks a lot for the compliments. Sometimes, I love drawing sweet pictures and sometimes, my horrible side comes up and brings pictures in my thoughts, which I can't hide from ym friends. So, I have to draw and show them to you.

The following two pictures show something horrible, which are caused by a fight or coming danger.

The first picture is about Caligo having a fight with something or someone.
The way I drew this situation shouldn't be seen by little children, who like Caligo most (lol). I just tell you: Don't worry about Caligo, he's already healthy!!! XD

The second picture is about Pelle, who discovered something really really worrying.

Enjoy or not enjoy XD

Dancing Steef · #76 04-02-2006, 11:24 PM

WOW those are great Alector! I love the emotions and the face expression on Caligo - frustrated Steefs show a lot of respect

Pelle is so cute

but those critters or creatures, makes me a bit confused... What are they? They reminds me about chippunks or skunks, but I'm stil unsure

Great art as always, Alector

oh, n' I'll update my Steef art thread today as well.

~DS~

Matriar · #77 04-03-2006, 01:31 AM

I agree with DS : Pelle is so cute

!
The other one is very horrible... great art!

More!

Alector · #78 04-23-2006, 09:40 AM

Heeee! A new Stranger pic for today! Finally, I put myself together and sat down to make a little painting in PS7 of Stranger. For that, I just stroked widly and free. XD
I love his expression. Vidible brush strokes are here because I didn't want to blur or smooth them.

Dark Elite_H2 · #79 04-23-2006, 09:55 AM

I'm lost fer words, dear Alector...
That is absolutely amazing.
And his face...wow...
...I'm sorry. I'm choking on my words.

Dancing Steef · #80 04-23-2006, 12:03 PM

those colours and the face expression made me all go crazy

Alector, believe me when I say this - you're a fabulous and AMAZING artist

I love yer pics and I adore how you colour them in PS. A talentes girl is what you are

Keep it up

~DS~

Dark Elite_H2 · #81 04-23-2006, 12:06 PM

Indeed.
In fact, I might steal it...
Alector, may I "steal" yer pic and use it as a desktop background, pwease?

Dipstikk · #82 04-23-2006, 05:56 PM

As always, your works never fail to astound me. Keep up the amazing work.

OR ELSE!

Matriar · #83 04-24-2006, 01:32 AM

... oh, my...

I love this picture!!!

Munch's Master · #84 04-24-2006, 10:10 AM

Wooo, I can't believe I've missed all these pics while I was away! Great art as always Alector, but unfortunately a big chunk of your pics aren't displaying on here. I'll probably look at them on your DeviantArt.

Alector · #85 09-05-2006, 12:50 AM

Darn! *pokes herself* Ow!
I was quite careless not to reply on your sweet comments, friends.
Thanks so much for them, I'm really glad you like the pictures I draw and paint.

I came back, and that's not the only reason, because I worked at another picture for this FC topic. Since I don't want to open a new topic for my Oddworld based arts here, I will keep posting them in this little corner. Yeah?

Okay. The newest picture was random and a very quick picture because of testing new ways of combining hard brushes with smooth airbrushes and warm tones. Shyridon was the victim this time because of his red hair.
He looks serious there...

Have fun!

Creepy Doc · #86 09-05-2006, 06:25 AM

Looks very cool, Alector!
I also like how you did the sky. (The colors, clouds and stuff...)

Matriar · #87 09-05-2006, 06:59 AM

That's a neat picture.

Agree with that

. Well done!

Alector · #88 09-06-2006, 02:20 AM

Thank you!

I wasn't really pleased with the result of the last picture, thought. The strokes of the hard pencil are too visible for me. Ah well.

It's time for a brandnew picture.

What happens, if a special topic goes around a forum and stickks in the head of people for ages and ages and late at night, an artist gets a flash of inspiration and starts scribbling logos?
Though the topic is so old, it belongs to the Odd-Off-topics like butter on toast. A topic makes history with weird results and here is the Oddworld-based version of it. *runs and laughs evily*
Insiders will know about the topic. For all the others, I just can whisper: Bonzai Kitten höhöhö

Any questions?

Have fun!

Matriar · #89 09-06-2006, 02:23 AM

Poor fuzzles...

ANDYB · #90 09-06-2006, 05:14 AM

wow! love your work.
