THOU ART BLADENLESS!!!!

 

It's over rendered a bit, but I like this comic! Please enjoy!

Loving the ichordic hair texturing, though a bit inconsistent with lighting in the scene. I didn't have an idea (yet) on a background, so I just borrowed some inspiration from the Byzantine mosaics of golden backgrounds for this. The border was from this photo of an interior of a basilica in Hagia Sophia by Raimond Klavins.

Image ID below:

A four panel comic of two siege-status war-torches, Thermite (the five horned torch with reddish toned ichor) and Caelestis (the two horned torch with purple toned ichor). The comic is set within a worn decorative blue and gold panels with golden background behind the two brother torches.

Thermite just flown into the first panel, teasing his annoyed brother on his low mood. 

"Oh, my dearest hatch-brother," Thermite said with sly smile on his wooden face and a finger upon his chin, "Thou look so glum!

Caelestis makes no response to his brother's jest, but Thermite continues, turning to his brother with his fingers interlocked.

"Hast thou lost someone important? Mislaid a lady blade?

Caelestis seems to finally take note of his brother's incoming joke as Thermite, struggling to keep back a laugh with a squirming smile.

 "Thou appearest...

His face breaking into a exaggerated cartoony smile, Thermite lands his punchline.

"BLADENLESS!!!"

"Please cease talking to my sword wyfe," Caelestis retorts with an angry glare as his ichor shifts from a cool purple to a harsh red.

Happy Halloween...MUH-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA

Ok...Sorry, I missed last week.  I was trying to finish a big project for Drawing-100 at SCAD and I didn't get home until very late in the evening.  It was a linear still life on a 24x36 paper drawn in class and it's similar to the earlier projects during this quarter.  Drawing it was extremely challenging because I was drawing a still life with CDs, cups, papers, ruler, binders, two triangle rulers, and a large old-school calculator.  The calculator and the triangle rulers were difficult to draw, so I had to use multi point linear perspective (combination of one point (parallel to the viewer) and two point (perpendicular to the viewer) or two points where the edges are not parallel to each other).  I'll talk more about this next week when I get my artwork back.

This old ugly thing.

And now art!

Concept of the lion cobra.  I like how strong and powerful this creature looks. It carries the strength of a lion and frightening yet graceful curves of a cobra.  I might draw the midsection longer next time.

Another lion cobra. This one was drawn before the above picture as a quick sketch.

Trying the 25 expressions challenge again.  The way Vistalgia's face is designed gives very interesting and difficult to draw expressions.
