Personal artwork

Matriar · #1 09-28-2006, 05:35 AM

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"

I plan to color them soon.

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

Creepy Doc · #3 09-28-2006, 06:05 AM

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

Matriar · #4 09-29-2006, 02:15 AM

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...

Aaaarrgh! Maybe I worked for days and weeks for nothing!

No!

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

It's a great pity...

Really.

I'm afraid so.

Really.

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

Creepy Doc · #7 10-05-2006, 11:43 AM

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

Arxryl · #8 10-05-2006, 08:58 PM

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

Steef Head · #9 10-06-2006, 02:12 PM

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

I'm glad you like my pictures!

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:.

(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:

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

. This picture isn't finished yet but it would look like this:

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...

Wow

great pics

The last one is so sad

(you have a hard childhood?

)

Wow

Thanks!

Indeed...

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 · #13 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.

aww thats so sad...

Matriar · #16 11-07-2006, 07:10 AM

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

:

"The Priestess"

Creepy Doc · #17 11-08-2006, 12:13 AM

...

Whoah! That is amazing!!

So this is what you worked for all the last days. Good job, Maid!

Wow, four days...

dripik · #18 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 · #19 11-08-2006, 09:58 AM

Wow

. You know, if you really love to draw then it doesn't matter how long a picture takes untill it's finished.

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

Thank you

i like it!

Matriar · #22 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 · #23 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 · #24 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.

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!

dripik_12 · #25 11-18-2006, 04:22 AM

cool

They look a funny too

Matriar · #26 11-19-2006, 02:14 AM

Wow, thank you guys!

Those comments make my day. ^^

Creepy Doc · #27 11-19-2006, 04:09 AM

Hey, no problem.

Matriar · #28 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 · #29 11-27-2006, 04:06 AM

those are awesome!!!

I thing that tatoo is a good Idea

Matriar · #30 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.
