MA · #**181** 05-25-2010, 09:04 AM

i look forward to the comic. even if its a long way off, i'm sure we'll wait for it.

OddYouko · #**182** 05-26-2010, 10:39 PM

Ramón and Seven both look very nice in human form!

I love Seven's eyes. ♥u♥

And an OW comic sounds awesome! Haven't seen too many of those.
I look forward to it aswell. Yes, even if it is a long ways away like MA said. ^-^

Luskan · #**183** 05-27-2010, 05:24 PM

Man, some of this art is really good. I especially like that slig you did inside sitting at the table. You seem pretty decent with perspetive and figure drawing, i tend to struggle getting around that. Do you use pictures as a guide or just keep drawing until you get the pose right so it doesn't look wierd?

scipionyx · #**184** 05-28-2010, 04:13 AM

:

Ramon looks cool

Any Oddworld comic by you I imagine would look fairly awesome.

Also, Riftryu's comic.... *sniff*

I do often think about how demonised sligs are in the series; I mean ok, they're mean and stupid, but it was their upbringing that made 'em like that and Abe does kill tons of them without a second thought. It's kinda sad that they've become victims between mudokons and glukkons, and I think it's a flaw in Abe's character that he thinks of sligs pretty much how sligs think of mudokons. (A lot of that went into the argument between Stivik and Anni in the last chapter of TD.)

thankies!

yes i feel the same about this... it's a shame they didn#t bring out SligStorm, in my opinion it would have been the most interresting game since it shows that you can#t seperate everything into black and white so easily.

:

Your Slig sketches are fantastic.

thank you meechMunchie 8D

thank you very much Luskan!

I only use references till i have figured out how something looks like then I don't use references anymore, but i draw a lot of sketches ... the pose or a certain idea is already in my mind before i start sketching ...so yeah I keep on drawing till the pose looks right . ^-^

my first slig sketches were horrible but i never uploaded them anywhere xD i used images from TOGG the first times ...the mechanical legs were the easiest to memorize but i had trouble with the proportions a Sligs head is as huge as the whole rest of his body -i always have problems with that xD

when i draw i always keep the anatomy the skeleton and the muscles in my mind that way i know which poses are possible and which would look wrong...

..

ok here is a minor character from my comic.... she belongs to the Shangria, who are a subspecies of Sligs they are also related to my other species the Scrig, that explains their Scrab-like legs and the spikes on their head etc...
Just like Grubbs they don#t have queens but "normal" females...

their eyes are different too they... are similar to the eyes of the mantis shrimp:

http://ecolloq.gsfc.nasa.gov/archive...ntisShrimp.jpg

http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketsci...shrimp_eye.jpg

http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthrop.../r_komaii4.jpg

and they have 3 face-tentacles instead of 5 and usually their faces are tattooed symmetrically in patterns that are typical for each tribe, so they can see who belongs to which tribe by "reading the tattoos" of others xD

I don#t have a name for her yet... and she's a little different from the Shangria because she has been expelled from her tribe a long time ago, now she's an outlaw.

the sketch has a few mistakes she#s too thin on the waist and her arms are too long etc... it's almost a year old actually... ^^;

a fresh and digital drawing in colour will follow this sketch soon

do not steal! >:C

MA · #**185** 05-28-2010, 05:08 AM

oh wow, nice work. the colour drawing will be interesting to see.

Splat · #**186** 05-28-2010, 06:52 AM

I like the 'shoes', and the eyes are really cool, really freaky

She just looks awesome; I'd love to hear her story! The face tentacles remind me a lot of S'laskia's drakkics (that isn't a bad thing - I loves hearing their stories too). Sci, you are brilliant at this

You have such... imagination.

:

a Sligs head is as huge as the whole rest of his body

This is why I will never be any good at drawing; I never notice things like that until they're pointed out to me.

scipionyx · #**187** 05-28-2010, 09:43 AM

LOL Splat I was wrong about their heads they are even bigger than the rest of their bodies look:

http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...=CAAO0025.jpg1

http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...=CAAO0017.jpg1

they are so ugly that they are cool again

and also... where in all names can i read S'laskia's stories?! I want to read them... i once started to read one of her stories but had not the time to continue and now I can't find the link anymore! I lost it ;^;

Splat · #**188** 05-28-2010, 03:02 PM

If you go through the 'useful fancorner links' thread, you'll find the FC library. All of the stories she posted on OWF are linked there, I think.

I just wish I could read the ones she didn't post of OWF

The web has been a sadder place since her site went down. (Man, now I'm gonna get even more nostalgic and even less motivated to work on TD!

)

The thing about her having a narrow waist, even if its more narrow than you intended, is that it kind of mimics the narrow sligs' tail. (see, now you've pointed it out I'm an expert on the subject!) I think, with my aforementioned professional opinion, that making her bust smaller might make it look better. But as I say, I'm no expert.

whoa 8D almost all her stories are here?... 8D ahahha when I have time again i have to start reading them ASAP!!!

... well the web has always been like that, people come and go aswell as stories, but the great ones will be remembered.

ok whatever I worked on the digital picture since i mentioned it here yesterday.... i drew a long time till my eyes started hurting and the next day i continued drawing, i didn#t have so much fun drawing a picture since ...sicne... November? This drawing is special to me, i can#t really explain it and i doubt anyone is reading this anyway lol xD.

and I think it#s my best digital work so far... it's actually one of the rare drawings that are completely digital. If someone would steal this idea it would break a little part in my heart... i put a few watermarks in the drawing becasue it would also annoy me if someone would steal the picture itself... sorry ^^;

The Shangria are living in Jungle areas with mountains and plateaus and canyons... maybe sometime I'll make a little sketch just to show how i imagine it...

they are smaller and lighter than Sligs.

and some tribes are quite advanced with "flying machines" because some villages are built on plateaus where is a lot of wind... so they use the natural thermal lift there

if you look at this map

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...dworld_map.JPG

the place where they live would be on the oher side of the globe... so you actually can not see it on this map xD

ok i write waaay too much xD enjoy the picture ^-^
I'm sad... i had to resize it ; ___ ; because it was really huge...

Grieva · #**190** 05-29-2010, 03:36 PM

Wow, nicely done on the colours and tones. I love the blue you've worked in there, looks very realistic, great work!

Splat · #**191** 05-29-2010, 04:52 PM

I love those eyes; it's brilliant how you make them so weird and yet so... emotional. I like the bony face tentacles, and noticed the miss-matched fingers

I like the contrasts in it, the really native stuff, not taken as far as some OWF art did, matched with the more 'industrial' arm guard and apparently metal staff, as well as the metal hook on her top. It's good

. Despite freaky eyes, freaky face and freaky hands, she looks pretty. You might run away when you first run into her, and you wouldn't expect her to speak any language understandable to anyone who lives outside of her tribe, but there are people you would feel more nervous to be held prisoner by.

thank you very much! I'm glad you like it

lol here is a terribly ugly and sketchy ....very sketchy preview of how the comic might look like... more or less

just to give you a hint ... a slight idea... how this might be some day in the distant future xD

but of course it will look absolutely different in the final version _{_{_{i hope so}}} which doesn#t even exist yet xD

i only upload this because i have nothing else to upload right now [yes I'm bored] (my oral exams [=presentation] are on thursday and i haven#t even started to prepare myself yet x__x instead i started to doodle around ^^;

btw: this Sligs eyes are drawn like this on purpose - you will find out why some day... =)

anyways enjoy... if possible xD

Splat · #**193** 06-21-2010, 02:36 PM

Again, looks good in an 'imagine what this could be' kind of way. I like the angle of that first picture, and the slow reveal of the character, looks like a normal slig, then we see the freaky eye and then the scar...
S'good.

scipionyx · #**194** 09-09-2010, 03:22 AM

haha xD thanks ^^

~

whoa this thread is sooooooo dead... x__x

i have to revive it again!!! xD

so here comes some art to keep it alive till the time I fully return xD

I know that only one of the drawings are OW drawings... the other ones are rather odd nonetheless so i hope it's ok ^^;

Noone still follows this thread anyways,

but just in case, if anyone remembers GlacierDragon and her fanfiction Shrown which she once posted here, she finnished the story at dA and you can read it here

Shrown

I designed the cybernetic arms of her Winged Scrab character (also from Shrown) ^^
they didn't turn out so well but right now it's the only OW related drawing I have xD

This is NOT a ref sheet

______________

then if ya like you can take a glimpse at some other drawings I finnished a while ago:

I'm surprised that you came

Escape down the Waterfall

the girl is the same in both drawings, she's the human form of
Blu (Schischnetta) , who's actually my avatar at dA xD

____________________

and here is a prawn from District 9 (art trade with crazysteef [aka Inkwerk])

art trade Prawn/District 9

...bah I need to draw some more OW stuff again xDDD

Fil The Slig · #**195** 09-09-2010, 07:11 AM

Sorry, i dont want to mouth you off or something, but Oddworld isnt something from Anime or something. That "female" Sligs and female Mudokons dont exist, but thats not the worst part. The worst part is that all those fanfics tell of Sligs and such WITH ROMANCE AND FEELINGS. SLIGS! Thats not Oddworld at all. If a Slig would say "i love you" to another Slig, then the other Slig would shoot him and laugh at him saying: "Ur gay!" . I finally said it to you. But if you not look at all the girly stuff you make, your art is pretty good

.

scipionyx · #**196** 09-09-2010, 08:39 AM

Certain fanfictions annoy me aswell, but then I simply don't read them. ^^

Then about the "female Slig" you talked about, it is NOT a Slig.

she's a fanspecies called Shangria that I created for my own fanfiction, you would have known that if you had read the text under the drawings.

Shangria are similar to Grubbs (so there are no Queens, there are males and females) and if you had looked closely at the drawing you would have remarked that she's quite a little different from Sligs, shangria have legs and only 3 face tentacles, their eyes are composed but not the way Sligs eyes are, Shangria are taller and have tails. Their skin is smooth and a tiny tiny little bit shiny. And if you are complaining about her boobs, Grubbs and Clakkers have boobs too.

if you talk about the drawings of Dionysia or Anni, they are not my characters but the explaination of why they exist are reasonable. Read the story before you complain.
[EDIT] Cylepso and Zoe are not my characters either. [/EDIT]

if you talk about my female Mudokon Seven, Seven is a young Mudokon Queen.

if you talk about Katu, she's a Mutant, a carnivore, who has not to do so much with normal Mudokons at all...

if you talk about the female Mudokon in my fanfiction, she's a queen too but it isn't even clear yet what she actually is. Perhaps she only exists in the dreams of 01 and 02.

If you talk about that blue femal Shrykull, it is the result of a weird conversation with OddYouko, at her own art thread, it was rather a joke and not even an OC.

Of course female Mudokons appear often in OW fanfictions, thats simply because they are special/ not normal/ unusual, therefore interresting.

If there were only females in Oddworld, then most of the fans would write about a male character.

oh and about what you've said earlier ...
...i don't think that Slig you talked about would say that the other one is gay, because both of them don't even know what that means, since they are just worker class Sligs and therefore lack certain organs, and so they can't develop such feelings so you can make the conclusion that the term love is used in a differnt way, which would mean that it isn't gay in the first place.

Sorry, i dont want to mouth you off or something, but complaining about people that I don't even know on my art thread is irritating.
I might be a fangirl, and like animé and manga aswell, but I'm not one of those hardcore animé fans that you talked about.

Splat · #**197** 09-09-2010, 10:47 AM

I think Sci wins

I stopped reading Shrown partway though, I think GlacierDragon decided to cancel it so I stopped checking the thread. I guess she changed her mind

I might have another look. Drawing is confusing, but I guess it is just a concept.

I love the 'surprised you came' picture, and the expression on the girl's face. I'd love to know what was going on there, and what the relationship is between the girl and the... robot? Why did she not expect it to come? Why is she lying in a puddle?

Like so many of your pictures you present so many mysteries that I'd love to understand a little better. I think her elbows look a bit... sharp, just odd is some way. Maybe her arms are a little too straight. But other than that it's really good; I really love it. It's going to stay open in a tab for ages now, and I'm going to bring it to the front and look at it every time I stop to think.

She doesn't look quite as good in the waterfall picture, but the scenery is great and so are the four-winged birds

I wanna like... swallow your imagination or something.

No idea what the shrimp is but it's a very good picture nonetheless.

I'm totally still following this thread! I love your art! Not just because you've done two amazing tributes to my story (which were, by the way, amazing). I just like the way you draw! (Nah nanana na! Nah nanana na! Nah nanana na! Nahh na na! Nahh na na...)

... whoa whoa you don't know the movie District 9 ? (the concept is quite similar to Avatar but in a very very different and much more radical/shocking way... (you'll understand once you've seen it

) )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHihF...eature=related

yup i know i messed up the girls elbows, thank you for saying it

because if i say it, usually the others say "what are you talking about?" etc.. xD

..i should draw some more humans,
once i was really good at drawing them ^^

btw: the full (rather senseless)dialogue is:

girl: "I'm surprised that you came here... how did you find me?"
Robot: - "..."
girl: "You can't remember me? And yet you came here into my dreamworld?"

he's not a robot and she looks different aswell but in a dream people recognize each other sometimes, even though they look different, and may have forgotten about each other xD
mostly this is inspired by the lyrics of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFPRp2dHrgo xD

hey but I'm glad you like my art! ^-^

Splat · #**199** 09-09-2010, 04:04 PM

scipionyx · #**202** 09-17-2010, 04:08 PM

thanks.

update:

lol not very original ^^; and a bad quality too! xD

right now I can't work on this comic, because right now I'm not interrested in developping new stories writing or reading (ok with a few exceptions!) xD

but no worries my interrest in working at my stories, gaming and watching anime alternates every half a year or so anyway ^^
I'll be continuing this in winter 8D

My brain is on vacation and I fill it with fresh stories ... the problem is just that they're way to depressing (Darker than Black

) baww but the stories are awesome <3

however, I'm still going to draw all the time of course =)

It's a nice moody picture, though a bit messy, yeah. The pants are interesting; they kind of remind me a bit of Sl'askia's character, Spider.

The facts are good; interesting to get to know this character a bit better. Makes me wonder if the Seven he knows is the mudokon girl, Seven.
Also inspires me to write facts about some of my own characters

scipionyx · #**204** 09-17-2010, 05:00 PM

I want to read that story! ..but later so far i only read the first chapter xD

yup 7 is the Mudokon girl (i name my characters way too often by numbers haha ^^; ...but she has a real (native)name too it will be revealed in the story...)

:

well then you're now officially tagged! because that info is indeed interresting.

Splat · #**205** 09-18-2010, 02:30 PM

I think you have to choose a character for me.

I put together a document containing all of Sl'askia's stories from OWF; sadly some others were lost a few years ago when her site disappeared and I've been led to believe that she's refused to let anyone see them if they ask her personally. The writing is newbish, but the characters make up for any lack in plot or writing; she was great at characters

It's a shame so much of her stuff was lost

right now everyone will missunderstand the situation in this drawing in more than one way anyways

...because there is a secret in the stroy but i can't tell any spoilers of course

however when i come to that part in the story I'll remind you of this crappy sketch

Splat · #**208** 09-29-2010, 03:12 PM

I think if her back leg was further back it would have made it look more... dynamic. And his face is slightly messed up. But otherwise it's good. I really like the way her feather trails back, and the spear is cool, and so is his leg. Apparently she has some reason for wanting him dead, or at the very least immobile

MeechMunchie · #**209** 09-30-2010, 11:51 AM

OddYouko · #**210** 10-01-2010, 04:42 PM

Been off for quite sometime, with schoolwork and such.
Very sorry scipionyx. D: Missed OWF and your thread very much~

Beautiful, beautiful style as always, awesome too.
The sketchy, nameless Slig is beautiful. I love her feet and her eyes are <3! Love how you draw/color the eyes~ The colors in the other pic are stunningly beautiful~ Amazing and again, I'm in love with her eyes~

Loving those spider-like legs on Ramón. The pic is so smoothing yet messy looking, yes, but that just makes it even more beautiful! I've certainly missed a lot.

:

however when i come to that part in the story I'll remind you of this crappy sketch

Crappy sketch? I think not! C:
Epic picture is epic~ Love the blue coloring and of course, the sketchy look~

Nicely done, scipionyx.
