Mandi's Art

[Josiah]

Great job!

Eclectric reminded me of this. o3o (Thanks Eclectric.)



Since he designed armor and I designed clothing, we won't be in direct competition. :P

[Eclectric]

Ooooh, neat design. It's sorta like an Alchemist suit but it's not lame-looking like an alchemist suit. =3

[BionicleMandi121]

OMG I actually finished something!

First, a redone version of a much older drawing from 2008.

Second, a drawing of Galinthias from the Crystalline Magic RP that I haven't even posted in and should do so ASAP. >>'

[BionicleMandi121]

Oh hey look. Fanart. And some still life.

Yeah, my drawing/drawing completion speed has seriously dropped. I blame all the other stuff I'm drawing for portfolio purposes...

[Metalheadz]

Oh Mandi, how artistic and beautiful your "Still Life" drawing has warmed my heart. The strokes of your pencil, simply astounding. How I love your everlasting talent in art. Dear Mandi, please continue to excel in your masterpieces, for I am bound to admire more of them.

(No seriously, I like it. :) )

[Saber Knight]

Ah, Mandi, the beauty in your art relfects the beauty in your soul! 'Tis indeed most marvelous, and makes me most joyous!

[BionicleMandi121]

I just realized I haven't put this up yet... To those of you in the Super Leagues RP, yes that is my character.

And this, while Pokemon-related, is yet another inside joke. I seem to like illustrating those...

If it looks like my art style is changing...it probably is. All that figure drawing and anatomy class is affecting how I draw manga-style now. @_@

[Metalheadz]

I have to agree, Mandi. Your art is rather manga-styled. I'm very impressed on both the pictures, especially the Gallade-like-Pokemon.

[BionicleMandi121]

Wha?
I think you misunderstood what I said. I meant that I've been drawing realistically for so long and so often that it's leaking over into the way I draw manga-style, since previously I'd ONLY drawn manga-style. In other words, my manga style is getting more realistic without me actually trying to do anything. ._.

Also, that's a Gardevoir, as you'd know if you'd read the artist comments. :P

[Metalheadz]

It was only those two pictured I looked at, so... Perhaps I need to go through your deviantArt a little more?

[BionicleMandi121]

Well, I just got into art school. /o/
The acceptance letter came yesterday. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up my portfolio soon, scan or photograph the stuff in it, and upload those to my DeviantArt. Lots of time and effort was spent on that stuff, so they're definitely going up sometime. /o/

In the meantime, there's a pair of figure drawings (AKA naked people) on my DevArt account now. With mature filters. I'm also not going to directly link to them (because they are naked), so if you're really that interested, go through my posts to find a link to something on my account, then browse through my gallery. @_@
(Hopefully if you compare it to the "Fairy Queen" deviation a page ago, you'll be able to see I've improved...a lot...)

[BionicleMandi121]

I just realized that people without DevArt accounts can't view anything I slap a mature filter on. ._.'
Unfortunately that means non-members are missing out on all of my figure drawing stuff, some of which does look pretty good (if I do say so myself). I have no idea how to rectify this, because I obviously CANNOT remove the mature filter on those deviations. So... meh. :/
If anyone's really that interested, I suppose I could make a private, password-protected album on Photobucket or something and put a link to that up here...
In the meantime, here's the folder of stuff in my portfolio that I've just uploaded. 6 of 'em are marked mature for nudity, but the other six are safe.

[Josiah]

You've got some pretty impressive stuff there.

[BionicleMandi121]

In between working myself to death, I managed to squeeze in some time for more fanart. This was lots of fun, although I had to erase the hands several dozen times before I was satisfied...
As far as I was able to make it, the pose is anatomically correct and possible; I myself have managed to get into that position, except I start losing my balance pretty quickly. -_-'
