... Time to attempt mimicking the techniques involved~ To the canvas~! ( Marches off with a pen held high to ART ) >):^D
Toryu-Mau: @Sashimi: ... As a person who had once harbored deadly intent towards a certain group of people who had done me wrong for nearly a decade, I can vouch that holding grudge and keeping karmic score for nefarious perposes is not constructive and drains the life out of the person holding said grudge while usually not the person this ill intent is directed at, who has their own problems to dear with.
It is generally beneficial for both side to leave bigons behind and move on to realizing new opportunities, because I for one know that I've got no time to waste on petty squabbles that go nowhere and frownfares where everyone involved loses.
There's smiles to be made and laughs to be had, maybe throw in a cookie and care a little too, these things are what makes it worth living, not the getting of one-uppance in a pointless argument for vainglorious satisfaction that lasts a microsecond.
And Yes, you too, can haz a cookie. c^:(<
~ This has been a PSA broadcast from the West Coast, Thanks for listening, M8s. -TM- ~ >):^D
Toryu-Mau: @POMA: ... This makes me curious... If the story had started from Rajirra's perspective, and we were introduced to Katia midway into the narrative, would people's general opinion of these two characters be in reverse? >):^?
What are your thoughts, Booru M8's? Let's talk it out~ >):^D
Toryu-Mau: ... I heard there's a Khajiit fight, and came to PROTECC, but the ART is too strong in this one~!
What DO?! D^':(<
No... NO! Keep those Details away from from me!
We will not be swayed~! ( Holds onto armrest with a deathgrip )
Toryu-Mau: ... Stehngir could have some more protein, M8. A couple of PB&J sandwich maybe? No, make that a doezen and and add milkshake. Gotta square up, son! D^:(<
And free handing straight lines on objects can end up looking wonky and continue at odd angles when obscured behind objects in the foreground, so using a ruler to put a temporary line before committing to drawing the actual outline would help with continuity. >):^]
Toryu-Mau: ... Looks like a nice compromise has been made between dark and gritty with pop and pretty. >):^]
The former was a bit too dark to be comfortable on the eye, so this is good to see. c^:(<
Toryu-Mau: ... My word, that's a lot of words~ >):^D
( Jumps in and starts swimming in it. )
The words are nice, Booru M8's hop on in~ it won't bite, ... I think... . >):^/
Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: ... There was also Nefertem, the water lily of the sun, who was the god of perfume and son of Bastet. Lots of cat gods in the pantheon, M8. But still, Bastet is the best in my eyes. >);^]
Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: ... There's also Mau the Great Cat, guardian of Persea Tree and slayer of Apep the serpant good of ill intent. He's seen more as an aspect of Ra rather then an individual god though. >):^]
Toryu-Mau: @DOOMGUY11: ... Happy to hear this mad hatter's jabbering has helped a growing artist~ c^:(<
Look up some wrist flexibility excercise on the net, and wear compression band on the wrist, it helps the arm glide on the paper smoother and prevent cramps. >):^]
Toryu-Mau: @DOOMGUY11: If there's a context for the situation he is portrayed in, Yes. >):^]
PS: Do people even remember he has a name? His name is Stenghir, I believe?
Toryu-Mau: @SilentOrbweaver: ... It was a choice between a bird god and a cat goddess so the decision was already made before the question even began, M8.
And I felt that Bastet's duality and the choice of weapon better suited to portray Rajirra. >):^]
Toryu-Mau: ... Constructive criticism was requested, so here it is, brace for impact~ hold onto the table or something, M8. >):^D
First of all, it would seem the construction lines were a bit too loose and lenient on the basic shapes that form each body part, especially noticeable on the bartender's arm, and inconsistent length for apposing limbs, most likely the result of foreshortening being incorrect, but that would improve as soon as you get a good grasp on imagining how the 3D cylinder and a ball joint that makes up the limb would look at different angles. The sphere that makes up the snout would make more sense if they were closer to the sphere that makes up the head, which would look more natural if they were rounder, and neck was placed a bit more forward at the base of the head. And the last bit is a big one, the nose line is placed far too low, giving it a droopy look, make the top of the nose more level with the base of the eye line.
I hope my jabbering has actually helped in some way and not confuzzled ya further.
Now then, back to the canvas, eh? >):^]
Toryu-Mau: ... Aw yeah... There's the shading for me to marvel at. ( Stares intensely ) >)B^D
Wonder if it would fit on a tarot card, that would be grand. c^:(<
Toryu-Mau: @bluedraggy: Up and read From Elsweyr with Love, M8. Awesome all around so far. >):^]
BTW, all these "Manual Automatic Hammerfell Technology" is cracking me up at the seams. >)X^D
Toryu-Mau: @AMKitsune: ... At the rate this train of thought is progressing, I can imagine Jadezzar ending up with a Dwemer Power Armor MK.2 , better save up those soul gems to power it~ LoL >)X^D
Toryu-Mau: @Jadezzar: Plate cuirass and pauldron on top of mail shirt and gambesson suit is what I would describe as "THICC ARMOUR", one would not want to be a day guard during summer wearing this... .
Heatstroke during duty is no joke, I tell ya. >):^c
Toryu-Mau: @PermanentFace: ... This should be an official proverb of our booru. >):^]
