Myre - Journeys Dawn

Wed, 16 May 2012 13:29:56 PDT

This is a story of an old legend that has been carried to our eldest until we were asked to carry it further.
Once, the land of Yrian was vast and green. Life spread all over the ground; living was easy because of what nature offered to us and so we took but never gave back.

Without any regret.

One day, the ground dried and split open. Mountains pushed away the trees and there was no space for the greens anymore but that was so long ago that even this part of the legend is vanishing into the sparse ground of this land, threatening to disappear forever.
_____

Today, dust and silence remains.
Who will carry on seeking for what we almost forgot?
Who will begin a journey that could change the life of all?

Who...

___________________________________________

Myre is about to experience the journey of her life and will take you with her.
This is one of the biggest pdates of the comic project namely the idea for the actual cover of the first book!

The characters have developed over the years and can finally set off to tell their own stories banned in comic panels. Some design aspects of Varug and Myre have changed to be more feasible and also prettier. :>

The paper is all ready and set, too. The comic will be drawn in mixed media, traditionally as well as digitally. I love mixing both aspects together to have the look I was seeking for.

Along with the adventurous journey, Fox Amoore has given me the honour again to create the actual main theme of "Myre" - a theme that combines the character's story and their world.

Thanks so much for the inspiration and support!

>>>Please listen to "Myre - Journeys Dawn" here: [link] <<<

And for those who have yet not listened to the many other tracks that interpret the story and characters of "Myre" see the list below:

- Myre's Character theme
- Yria's Lament -
- Tears of the Forgotten -

The_spirit_of_sword

Fri, 08 Jul 2011 02:54:45 PDT

A poster done for a online game,this old man is another boss in the game(just like the doublecross that i've updated last time).
the description just mention some keywords like"old man,blue,a spirit of sword, cool etc."so i drew this character in my own style.they seems don't like the simple description and want to me to drew this later,but when i sent out the concept,they accepted it immediately.
All in Photoshop,I've been drawing this directly without any references and photos and models,suppose three lights effects to the enviroment, cost about 15-18hours.Intous 4,9x16.
Hope you like it.
I also update a simple process here:[link] Sorry in Chinese only.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other meanings of the word, see tattoo (disambiguation).
A tattoo is a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. The first written reference to the word, "tattoo" (or Samoan "Tatau") appears in the journal of Joseph Banks, the naturalist aboard Captain Cook's ship the HMS Endeavour: "I shall now mention the way they mark themselves indelibly, each of them is so marked by their humor or disposition".
Tattooing has been practiced for centuries in many cultures spread throughout the world. The Ainu, an indigenous people of Japan, traditionally had facial tattoos. Today, one can find Berbers of Tamazgha (North Africa), Māori of New Zealand, Hausa people of Northern Nigeria, Arabic people in East-Turkey and Atayal of Taiwan with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesians and among certain tribal groups in Taiwan, Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Indeed, the island of Great Britain takes its name from tattooing, with Britons translating as 'people of the designs' and the Picts, who originally inhabited the northern part of Britain, which literally means 'the painted people'.[1] British people remain the most tattooed in Europe.[1] Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.

Marpessa

Sun, 20 May 2012 05:13:26 PDT

"She was more fortunate than other maidens beloved of the gods. Idas, one of the heroes of the Calydonian Hunt and also one of the Argonauts, carried her off from her father with her consent. They would have lived happily ever after, but Apollo fell in love with her. Idas refused to give her up; he even dared to fight with Apollo for her. Zeus parted them and told Marpessa to choose which she would have. She chose the mortal, fearing, certainly not without reason, that the god would not be faithful to her."

Edith Hamilton's, "Mythology".

HESTIA - GREEK GODS PROJECT

Mon, 21 May 2012 00:45:46 PDT

Another character for my GREEK GODS PROJECT

Hestia is Zeus sister. She is a virgin goddess. She does not have a distinct personality. She plays no part in myths. She is the Goddess of the Hearth, the symbol of the house around which a newborn child is carried before it is received into the family. Each city had a public hearth sacred to Hestia, where the fire was never allowed to go out.

Commission: This is your judgement day

Thu, 17 May 2012 13:14:17 PDT

This is a commission, meaning only the commissioner is allowed to use this artwork.

This is your time to pay
This is your judgement day
We made a sacrifice
And now we get to take your life
--Ready To Die, because honestly, LET'S KEEP A THEME!

Second commission for JWT at FA, this time it's his badass sphinx lady Ha'milia.

I shall be honest, I struggled with both the wings and the bow (those things look cool, right, but try drawing them buggers in some odd perspective...), but once I got some crits on those, well, it went like a dream and became a hella lot of fun. I especially enjoyed painting her body this time around (added a bit of muscle BECAUSE ARCHER), and those sand dunes... I could paint sand dunes forever.

So let us thank the critters too! I hereby present:

From FA: TaruHanako and requiemtodream
From dA: ~DessyluvsUF, *KyuJinchu, *WildGriffin, ~Lykkepillen and ~eshifen

And if you happen to be interested in getting a pic of your own, my commission information can be found here:

Pic 34 here was the ref for the wings: [link]

And the bow was partly based on the New Scythian here: [link]

_{This is a Premium Commission for whom I was very excited to paint for again!

I was also /very/ excited to draw this idea for her! She developed the idea for this character and wanted me to draw it in any environment that inspired me, so it was fantastic getting to bring the character to life with full creative liberty!
I was sure to make him seem almost at one with the tree roots he's resting on, to give off that sort of "forest spirit" vibe.

I hope you all like it; I can definitely say I enjoyed it!

Spreading rapidly on the territory of Nordos - caused their dissatisfaction, and after bloody wars were pushed westward into the mountains and steppes of neutral land. At the moment, are in a tight race truce with small skirmishes on the borders. Rodoses extensively communicate with Shaedrs, Alkyries and Delyers, partially adopted their culture. Fast anchored among the other more ancient races. They live in mountain-steppe areas. Build houses in the rocks in layers. In politics, dominated matriarchy. The woman - in the family major.

Sat, 05 May 2012 14:55:11 PDT

This is a commission I did for a client who just joined the navy. He's very into Roman and Greek mythology. Given what profession he was entering, we thought a portrait of Minerva (aka Athena) the goddess of war-- pictured by the sea, a trireme, and some Italianesque scenery-- would be appropriate.

ART INFO
*********
This art is made for Digital Wings Art's contest: [link] And it won second place!

SAINT SEIYA - HIMEROS VERSION
*****************************
This is a fan art about Japanese manga/anime Saint Seiya drawn by Masami Kurumada. My version is very different. The story happens in Greek mythological era. When the Olympian gods fought the Titans, each god formed an army of knights. Hephaestus created all the armors for them. Athena only had 48 knights (according to the number of ancient constellations). When the war ended, half of Athena's army was dead. The survivors became rogue knights because their service was no longer required. Just like the original Greek version, Athena chose to mingle with other gods on mount Olympus - leaving humans at the mercy of mischievous gods and dangerous monsters. Each ex-Athena's knight then handed down their armor and power to their descendants or relatives. Although the war against the titans had ended, people still needed savior because sometimes Olympian gods caused havoc. Hence, the knights were still in business of saving lives.

CHARACTER INFO
***************
Hades is the Greek god of the underworld. Many lesser-ranked gods live there also, such as Thanatos (God of Death). When the Titans invaded Olympus, Hades asked Hephaestus to forge 108 armors for his army. All his knights are basically souls of the dead who reside in his realm. Although many people think of Hades as evil god, he's actually very passive. Unlike other gods, Hades rarely causes any havoc. However, his knights sometimes do.

It's been a while since I posted a render...
Trying some new techniques in this one, thank you for the comments and favorites!

This is Erica, my Guardian from the Guild Wars 2 Beta Weekend Event in all her glory. I think I'll make a Guardian on the Live servers as well, since I loved this profession!

Production details:
DAZ Studio 3 Advanced -> Reality 2.1 -> Lux Render
Absolutely no postwork, this is an unretouched image

Remix edition
Changes:
1. The monster was very dark and barely noticable, I changed the "volcanic" skin to a normal skin
2. The sword grip wasn't correct, I fixed it in this one
3. I changed the sword to one that is more fancy and pretty

Sun, 20 May 2012 12:42:15 PDT

EDIT: Just changed the coloring of the window frames a bit. They were way too bright. /edit

um...

LOL I feel like I have a lot to say and yet nothing to say at all!

This picture was a really refreshing challenge. Let's start there.

At first it was really frustrating because I had to seriously tackle perspective. And it wasn't even hard perspective--simple one-point. But perspective has always been such a challenge for me, and I have real problems understanding it when just reading tutorials and such. For some reason it doesn't stick that way. I figured it out eventually though... I think, lol.

I have to admit, I almost gave up after I was done with the flat colors. I just... I dunno, I couldn't see how it was going to become anything I was going to be happy with.

Glad I pushed on, though! I had so much fun using textures and colors in this, it was really fantastic.

I kind of imagine this is Cynthia (Stephaton, my Eventide Lenny on Neo) in one of her photoshoots or something. Girl needs to get a new outfit, eh? P=

Hope you like it!

Copyrighted 2012- Olivia C. Ostrowski

This is for 'faestock's 'Challenge #11 - Cardinal'[link] I couldn't help but be moved by the red and just had to try joining in. I've been watching her little challenges for awhile and found the idea inspiring.

This was a vary fun to get into, and I used a different technique then I normally do. I had forgone using any inks, kinda scary actually. Also these colors I would normally not pick. I realized I'd normally choose purple for the woman. But decided I just had to go with red as the dominant color to be different. Very interesting trying now things. I have to say it was nice to work from stock so I could check on my anatomy here. Also to work so hard on a piece after not doing much art for a lone time. I rushed to get this done in time-- and really tired out my hand!

Prismacolor pencils, and a little Lyra on 8x6 100 LB. Strathmore bristal paper. I used 's stock ([link]) for the woman's pose and most of her clothes.

Edit: Changed name to one I like a little better-- also my Cardinals I see are a little big... uh.. they are in the foreground! Yeah we'll go with that!

The mirrored town of Magatia.
We stayed up from the afternoon til 3-5am chatting and drawing this for 3 days straight lol! We split our work half and half, I took the left side and klyde took the right (including the town image) We agreed that this was the most effort we put into ANY drawing we've ever drawn!! Through the pain, tears, and blood (well not to be exaggerating)
I had too much of a habit of drawing bright-ass things while klyde did the opposite LOL It was a great experience for both of us; so hell yeah, we're doing this again together. (hinting on a mass murder concept next time) It was really fun talking to her and she is one of the most badass person i've ever met

Foloria Valley

Sun, 20 May 2012 17:01:57 PDT

After the Forlorians established their kingdoms in the cramped north-eastern parts of Daladurm, they journeyed south to seek out a place for a city to sit upon. The "prophet land" otherwise known as Foloria.

One famed group, the Fang-Hearts, came across a valley wide enough to fit a nation. They claimed it as Foloria Valley.

This is a picture of Foloria Valley before its conquering. The exact location of this photo is Tem'Soon Mountain.

In case you're wondering, I only used 29 nights.

Debated on posting this, but maybe it's speedpaintiness has some charm. I think I will include it on the upcoming gallery.
I played a lot of Diablo II in the summer, I just started an Assassin character with some pretty kickass poison attributes. This is what I imagined her to look like, sort of : ) Still a bit weird, but I like it when I see it, so I am showing it.

Despair

Living to die, I will die to live.
I love to hate, and I hate to love.
I'm falling up to heavens while you rising down to hell.
I open my eyes, not wanting to see the truth, while you close your eyes wishing you could see it.
When I run, I want to stop, when I stop, I want to run.
I have wings, but I can't fly
I have everything when I have nothing; I have nothing when I have everything.
I'm lonely even when I'm not alone
The tears of happiness,
The smile of sadness,
The sorrow of joy,
The joy of sorrow,
The love of hate
The hate of love,
The ambivalent
...

My drawing and my verse. It happened couple of times when I felt sad and I draw a picture like this.
