Want an Elum-sona?

Ajiellyn · #1 06-22-2007, 07:34 PM

If you don't find this too annoying I thought I'd share this with you guys... I've yet to update on whether or not I'll really do an Elum comic, but I started drawing pictures of customized Elums for friends as little gifts. Once I recorded myself doing one, sped it up and put music to it, and the person liked it, so another person wanted one... and I decided to do those videos for anyone who wants one.

If you want one of these little guys, just post with how you want it dressed up, and if you want it in a certain position. Also, you can request music, or just genre, and I'll put one to it that I see fit. It can be you as an Elum, or your character... it doesn't have to make sense

Oops, all are done in MSPaint and recorded with HyperCam 2.
Examples:

Pictures:
Pounce
Unnamed Elum
For Tom

Videos!
For Tig
For Ash

I just thought you guys would like to see since they're kinda cute, and it doesn't take long to draw them (about 6-10 minutes) and I enjoy it, so, request away if you want one. Be as specific as you can and I'll get to them one by one.

Those are cute! I'll need to think up some details first, but I'm interested!

*resists urge to copy idea*
I love this! I'll have to think something up for you to do! Mine could be 'Marvak's Elum'. Cos he could be my charcter's personal favorite Elum, and... ohh, I need to think.
*thinks*

... Hmm, a sorta necklace of purple and green beads, with yellw and red feathers on his horns, and bandages on his tail. And green circle/spot design on his shoulders in body paint.
*hugs*

Ajiellyn, you are an art genius!

Do you think you could do me one please?

Ok! ^^ Your Elum's done, I'm just waiting for the video to upload and process now. I'll update this post with the link when all that stuff's done.

OK!

Video
Sorry I messed up the colors and typoed your name at first, but I fixed it '

The music's from the game Okami.

By the way, the reason I pull the Bullseye picture into these is so I can snag its colors with the dropper tool thingy.

And sure, Jordan_Boi, just give me any specific details you want like Marvak did and I'll try to do it.

What's an Elum-sona? Is that some kind of Japanese Elum?

Marvak · #7 06-23-2007, 06:14 PM

Yay! *hugs* I have to repay you somehow...thankyou!

Jordan · #8 06-24-2007, 02:05 AM

Thanks Ajielyn.

Do you think I could have a black Elum, with red markings around it, like around the tops of legs, around the tail, and on its neck please?

Sorry this took so long. I finally got to give it a shot today, and it went horribly. x_x While the other drawings took 5-7 minutes, this one took twelve, mostly because my mouse is being all wobbly, I can't figure out what's wrong with it. To top everything off, HyperCam froze when I stopped recording. I have the video file, and it plays fine in Winamp, but when I open it in Movie Maker only the first clip will show up. Sorry

I wasn't sure what sort of markings you wanted so I messed around until I made those up; if you want I can change them.

Nope, it's just what I decided to call it... unless you want to call it My Little Elum :P!

Splat · #10 06-27-2007, 11:01 AM

I believe the general translation would be 'what i would look like if I was an elum', or 'If I owned an elum it would look like...'

Great idea, these things look great! If I get a flash of inspiration I might ask for one.

Jordan · #11 07-01-2007, 06:22 AM

Wow! Thanks a lot!

Hulaabeo · #12 07-12-2007, 10:13 AM

Oh sweet could you make one for me? Can you give it a spiny back and give it a sumbraro?

Just... wanted to show how much I loved the Elum you made for me. He has a starring role in Face Off!

Ramonsk8 · #14 09-19-2007, 01:06 PM

GREAT WORK! You should consider using PhotoShop, I always use it when I'm coloring something on my PC...

By the way, it's been SUCH a logn time since I've been on these forums. I'm still an Oddworld fan though

Marvak · #15 09-19-2007, 11:24 PM

I use The GIMP, it's a program that's pretty much identical to Photoshop in every way, except it's FREE! Because it's just that awesome.

And all this is rellevant because?...

mudling · #18 10-03-2007, 03:22 AM

I love those elum's, they're soo cute, could you please do one for me?
I'm sorry to be difficult and abbusive, but I have two ideas for an elum, one is enough though.
There's a pink elum called Rabbles, and is owned by a grub called Jakka (A RPG character of mine) who is adorned Grubb style and the feathers are like peacock feathers. The actual elum is normal colour however, if not a paleish orange.
The other one is Mudling's elum, and is kind of a mystical shamon themed elum with a blueish greenish hue, longer feathers, mystical totems and whatnot, etc.
again, sorry to bother you, I'm just hopeless on computers myself.
On a side note, I've never had photoshop, so I thought I couldn't colour the sketches or make art on computers as near as anyone else, but I had GIMP and yet it seems didn't realise it's potential, I did laugh at it's name however. Ok, I'm 15, I'm allowed to be immature, well slightly anyway.

You make elums look so cute. C:

mollck the glukon · #20 10-11-2007, 01:35 AM

who likes it

Oddey · #21 10-20-2007, 09:56 AM

I would like one. If it's not too much of course. If you have the time I would like one with normal hide but with long feathers around his head in the color blue and paint on the end of his legs and the middle also blue. Then little blue ring around his eyes and lastly a few spots around the mounting part.

Hopefully you wil have some time for it. If you don't have time i understand.

Splat · #22 10-20-2007, 12:16 PM

Ajiellyn hasn't been around for four months so I'm going to close this.

Aji, if yu return and want this reopened just PM me.
