Mandi's Art

[BionicleMandi121]

And at long last, Eclectric's request is finished!
I apologize in advance if the armor, helm, or poleaxe weren't quite what you imagined, but they were very hard to visualize. ><
I went ahead and added some white borders on his armor because having everything red kind of...didn't look as good. :/ Sorry if my bit of artistic license went against your image of him, too.
The edge of the poleaxe.... this is one case I actually dislike having to scan my stuff, because...the metallic silver pencil I used is only shiny if you view it at certain angles. - - Which you most certainly can't do with this scan, so... again, sorry. >.<
Despite all this, I hope you like. ._.

Secondly, the original Azriel that the SKS one is based off of, in the art style of the game world he's supposed to come from. Except I changed his hair. Explanation in comments.

Thirdly, another request from an in-game guildemate from Mabinogi. After putting that up on the guild site, I got two or three more requests. XD
Guess they liked it a lot. o_o

I love the drawing. It's pretty close to what I envisioned. Also, I envisioned something along the lines of those white rims, just didn't mention it I guess. And I notice you did make him buffer than normal. ^^

So I got bored a few days ago.

As always, comments are appreciated, particularly since this is the first time I've tried something like this. o3o /hinthint

[NabMaster]

That's pretty good And I know what you mean, I think we used to have one of those pencil things way back when!

[Josiah]

The nose could use a bit more shading (seems a little flat as is) but it's pretty good overall.

Well, stuck in China as I am without a scanner, I can't exactly upload anything. I do, however, have several WIPs that I took photos of using my crappy webcam, so you can peer at these and wonder exactly what's going on until I get home, complete them, and upload them in earnest. 8D'

[Josiah]

Great work!

[BionicleMandi121]

Well, predictably, the first one I finished was the one from above that already had color.

I also drew THIS. It's...somewhat of an inside joke, but it's an explainable inside joke, so be sure to read the artist comments on this one. o3o

The others still aren't done. >>'

[BionicleMandi121]

Second WIP has been finished. o3o

[Josiah]

I like the drawing, though your Japanese spells Yupeira, not Upala. (Well, L and R and interchangable, so the last letter is ok, but the first three are wrong.)

[BionicleMandi121]

I tend to write names in katakana based on pronunciation rather than spelling, so that'd be why it's written wrong. It's also the reason "Aves" is written as "Eibisu" rather than "Abesu." It bothers me when the katakanized name sounds different from what I intended it to; I personally say "Upala" as "yoo-pay-lah" rather than "oo-pah-lah," so I like to write it that way. ._.

[Josiah]

Ah, ok. Well, if that's the way you pronounce it than your spelling is correct.

[BionicleMandi121]

Some people might recognize this character.

Aside from the fact that I posted a WIP of this same drawing farther up, that is...

[BionicleMandi121]

A colleague of my dad is a painter in his free time, and he thought it'd be a good idea to take me to a drawing session thing last night. It was 3 hours long, with short breaks every so often for the model to stretch out a bit.

I drew this.

[Eclectric]

Ooooh, I love that smooth shading and sharp linework. Very well-done.
