I think I actually like this one.

IRIS

To go along with it, I wrote this little thing...

YOU KNOW YOU'RE HIDING...
BROKEN...
DESTITIUTE.
YOU THRIVE ON IT, DON'T YOU?
YOU THRIVE ON THE PAIN...
THE SUFFERING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP IT GOING, YOU KNOW.
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE KEEPING IT ALIVE...
WHY?
WHY DO YOU MAKE YOURSELF SUFFER?

DO YOU THINK THE FIGHTING WILL MAKE YOU FORGET?
FORGET HOW YOU'VE HAUNTED YOURSELF?
HAUNTED YOURSELF WITH YOUR MEMORIES?

YOU SAW THEM DIE.
YOU SAW THEIR FLESH TORN AWAY.
YOU WATCHED AS THOSE MONSTERS DID THIS.
THEY MADE YOU WATCH.
HOW COULD YOU EVER FORGET?
YOU'LL NEVER FORGIVE THEM FOR IT.

YOU STILL BLAME YOURSELF.
WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE?
STILL, YOU BLAME YOURSELF.
YOUR RAGE WILL CONSUME YOU.
JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER...

SO MUCH LIKE YOUR FATHER...

YOU LIVE BY THE SWORD OF YOUR FATHER...
ARE YOU CONTENT TO SUFFER HIS FATE?
ARE YOU SO RESIGNED TO THIS DESTINY?
WILL YOU SIT IDLE AS YOUR WORLD FALLS APART?
OR WILL YOU FIGHT IT?

Comment.

the writing goes with the depressed look of the character in the picture.
the picture looks good, it's balanced and well proportioned.

OMFG! Sorry about that outburst. BUT YOUR HAND DRAWING SKILL HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY!

Sorry once again. The HAND! We had a long discussion a while ago that I have never forgotten. The hand is very hard to master. Your little doodle there just coverred it. How long have you been good with shaping the hand? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME! Ha ha ha!

Oh. Before I forget, what is that staff/sword/tassle looking thing beside her?

I've only been good at hands since Iactually started trying a couple of months ago, Leroy. And it's a rapier, held backhand-style, 'cos that's the way she is. It's one big part that I'm unsure of, the other being that the shadow on her face isn't dark enough...

Also, wait 'till you see how I'm implementing that little monologue thing into the gameplay...

The picture itself is pretty whip-ass. The poem emits sort of a gloomy atmosphere to go with the picture. I gotta say, all in all, it's a pretty good picture / post thing. Good job, du'.

Dionysus

So, I've finally drawn one the the Fallen besides Eris. I've been thinking about Dionysus' sphere of influence, and I think it ought to extend from just being Indulgence to being Desire in general, or the more negative aspect of Desire, Lust (which doesn't always have to be sexual, you know).

Alright! Now THAT guy is thuggin'! I mean he's really thuggin'! If he gets any more thuggin', he's gonna have to put a bandaid under his eye!

I think his mouth makes him look like Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger, and he looks a bit too old. Yeah, I'm generally having trouble with the face...

Me · Posted: Tue Apr 20, 2004 5:07 pm Post subject:

It's not just the mouth. The entire face is Jaggeresque, as is the hair, plus he's got that coat, which would fit very well with either Tyler or Jagger.
But what's wrong with Dionysus, the FREAKING GOD OF INDULGENCE/DESIRE/LUST/PARTYING looking like Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler? I mean, it fits. PERFECTLY.

Well, it's all well and good, it's just that he looks too old. And yes, I did realise the jacket is particularly Tyler-esque, but that's prolly why it does fit him so well...

Yeah, I a little uncertain about the shading on the hair, but I think the sword's a lot better. Also, BACKGROUND. DIG IT.
Oh, and if you're interested, you can see the Steps to creating this image.

LeRoy_Leo · Posted: Sun May 09, 2004 7:52 pm Post subject:

I can "deal with it", but there should be more shading on the legs. The light's source is either extremely bright, or not well represented from the right. The legs in general show the source from the right, but not completely. And the source is from the right, right? You don't have to tweak it anymore if you don't want to, man. I can understand that.

Just wanted to spot that out for ya's.

That background idea is pretty friggin' sweet though.

[Edit] There is some doubt from second glance that the source is from the right.............. Oh boy... I think the source of the light is directly in front of the person... Sorry if I was mistaken. Oookay...
