Tahrey: Interesting. I thought it was a little larger for some reason but that's still a good size. If you made a full body to go with it'd stand pretty tall.

Anyway, turns out you can buy packs of single colours separately, but they are really stupidly expensive, especially considering that other specialist colour-tone packs are far more reasonably priced even if you wouldn't call them cheap.

Daniel: @Tahrey: The large classpack and the skin tone pack looks very interresting for wax sculptures. Thanks a lot.
Say, are you planing to do something interresting with all those crayons?

- Reply
Tahrey: Who me? I haven't bought any... I might have two or three lurking in the stationary drawer at home, but otherwise I don't have any crayons to use. So, um... "no". Sorry :D

But it is a pretty neat idea, you can in fact get crayola modelling kits now, I saw whilst looking those up. I'd like to have a try at using them as paint, even if it just turned out abstract. The difficult thing would be keeping a palette of them liquid without serious danger to life and limb. Might need to use a bain marie or something, with suitable cladding to ensure all the steam escaped from the far side...

- Reply
Tahrey: Also I just remembered what this was strongly reminding me of - the claymation figures in one of Michael Jackson's 80s videos (featured as an integral part of "Moonwalker"). Have you a background in this sort of thing or did you just wing it?

- Reply
Daniel: @Tahrey: What you are describing is called encaustic. It's a vary old painting technique.
The wax is chose for it's melting point, you will need to keep it hot without burn. The bain marie is a good idea. It's better use flexible metal spatulas, but if you don't care for the tool condition brushes and plastic spatulas work well. After the painting is done you espose the back of the surfice to a heat source to fix the paint.
If that doen't interresting you there are another process involving conbine melted wax to the oil paint. If it's done right the result should be a thicker paint that don't need to be heated.

I worked with wax before, but not like this. I'm mostly trying diferent things to see what work.

Geravind: Yay! Now that cyborg model can be produced in numbers.

Красяво! Все ещё немного удивляет длинный хвост (но в этом на вкус и цвет каждый -- сам себе автор). Со связкой голова/шея/плечи тут вообще сложно: у среднего изображения плечи ниже -> шея длиннее, на самом деле по правому изображению видно, что и в фас часть шеи тоже должна быть прикрыта подбородком, а ты не первый раз пытаешься её нарисовать видимой во всю длину.
Голова чуть преувеличена, поэтому пару моментов не пляшет, но для рисованных кхаджитов это норма (да что там, я сам также нарисовал). Ширину шеи я обычно сверяю по вертикальным проекциям от зрачков, но "большая голова" тут опять вылазит краеугольным камнем в "реалистичности" пропорций...

Она такая худющая (стройная), прям как я в реале. =-_-=
Молодец, РОМА!

Geravind: QW похожа на одёжный шкаф, а Катя на дикого кабана -- это ж девочки!
Рукоять кинжала маловата даже под катину лапку, такой малый лук ТАК она бы никогда не смогла одеть, таких микро-стрел не существует в природе (хотя для этого лука они как раз в тему). Где ремень от колчана, Буратино рисовать будет?
Сама идея неплохая (Кэп?) -- из обычного "принеси/отдай/забери" Каз такую уже Санта-Барбару растянул...

Ленивая жопа это я! Никак не могу словить вдохновение нарисовать ЧТО-ТО ЕЩЁ, а без вдохновения и интереса даже пытаться не буду (всё клятый перфекционизм с малых лет).

Две капли сверкнут, сверкнут на дне.
И кисть о ладонь согре-е-ешь.
А жизнь хороша, хороша вдвойне,
Коль ей рисовать умеешь.

Pourquoi pas, pourquoi pas pa?

Tahrey: As in the thickness of the lines you've used (for the whole picture) seem to over emphasise the bones / tendons in their hands somewhat and they look a bit ... skeletal. Like they haven't eaten enough, or are a lot older than they otherwise look, or have lost the obscuring fur or scales that would otherwise overlay the skin those bones are showing through :)

(remember Katia's skin is actually a fairly lurid pink, as that of reptiles also tends to be, when it's not blue anyhow...)

- Reply
8Aerondight8: @Tahrey: XD I know that Katia's hands should be a lot more fuzzy and that Quill should have some kind of scales covering her's, I only noticed my fuck up when you pointed it out. At the time of drawing I got kind of stumped when it came to the position of hands so unthinkingly I decided to use the first reference I had "on hand"(he he, get it :P).
