Iris: Portrait of Power Contest [art contest]

:eep:...:eep:

Well, its not been long since the Top Artist compo finished up, and i'm sure everyone is tied up with something at the moment (including myself), whether it be school, work or whatever. Why not throw the idea out during the summer? At least then we will have more free time.

The idea of it sounds good though...

[StarlightAngel]

Question: If we draw them, would we have to draw them all? There's a few I might be able to take a stab at, school allowing, but I'm not quite confident enough in my style to really have a consistent one. Plus, I'm not good at drawing certain types of clothing and whatnot =P

[BG-57]

Should we be overlapping here? Or are you simply going to pick the best picture for each character out of all submitted?

[rubah]

if it's just one, I think i could pull that off ;ooo

[Mercen-X]

You can do as many as you like in whatever style you like (except dwarf cartoon and stick figrues) as long as you're working seriously. If you want to squeeze any number of characters into a single piece.

[StarlightAngel]

This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/MirielleChan/Carnaecia.png) is what I came up with for Carnaecia. No color, unfortunately, as that would take too much time that I don't really have, computer-wise.

I would also like to make it clear that I don't recall ever having drawn a parasol, which would be my excuse for why it looks so crappy =P

[BG-57]

StarlightAngel, I like your take on Carnaecia better than mine.

Here are three portraits (L-R):

1) Carnaecia is the one I like the least. I have her a kimono because I gave the more formal dress to Violette, and I think it suited her. I'm not happy with her face or hands.

2) Knightly is a different matter. I'm happy with his outfit, expression and face. The best one of the three.

3) Violette came out good. I decided to give her the arrogant princess look (which may be wrong princess type). I like her expression and use of fan.

[Mercen-X]

I agree, I like Starlight's take as well. :thumb:

BG's is great. I could never quite get a clear image of what he looked like in my head. I especially love the eyes.
. . . made me giggle. But it's cool. :thumb:

[StarlightAngel]

Just wondering... for Sylvieve's shinobi outfit, do you mean one that's totally anime-ninja like, or one that's very plain and practical?

And I'm glad you two like the Carnaecia picture ^^

[Mercen-X]

I'd like to see the anime-ninja look. As long as it looks ninja-y (not a real word), it should be fine.

[BG-57]

Three more (L-R):

4) Icy Karmine is an experimental design. Since you asked for flaming, I went with a Super Sayajin look. I'm not entirely happy with it. Do you think he'd look better with chin stubble?

5) Aurumae came out well. I like her expression and posture. My favorite touch is the long sleeves under a short jacket.

6) Sztiel came out great! I'm not much for bragging, but I think I nailed the look. His expression combined with his body language is priceless. Also it gives me a chance to display my extensive ignorance of anatomy. :D

I like to think of this as a first draft of carnaecia xD it's pretty terrible

[Mercen-X]

Drunk on a beautiful thing we call life. :lol:

[BG-57]

Nice job on the sketch. The finished picture will look great. :)

[Mercen-X]

Wow. I completely missed these. Looks good. Aside from his sideburns, none of the characters ever grow any facial hair unless they've been turned to darker purposes.

I love the look. I could never quite nail down what I wanted her to look like, but that is damn good.

I like how he came out as well. The gloves are nice touch. :thumb:

[BG-57]

My last submissions:

(L-R)

7) Sylvieve came out good. I like her midnight colors.

8) Saffire has an impish charm to her. My favorite touch is the cat bell on her spear.

9) Riene came out decent. I like his look, but I messed up the hands.

10) Ashz has an attitude I liked. The flame insignia just sells his character somehow.

[Helen]

So, anyone can join in at any time?

[BG-57]

That was my understanding; any or all of the characters.

[Helen]

Ok im trying a few

[Mercen-X]

Rocks! You show some real potential, B.

[BG-57]

Some of my other artwork has recently been described as being 'sick' with the same meaning, so yes.

[scrumpleberry]

Is Violet more of a mature, sexy, elegant princess, or a girly-girly pwetty pwincess?

[Mercen-X]

So, I guess since BG-57 already did them all, no one else wants to? :D
Okay. :cool:

[BG-57]

What I lack in talent I make up for in volume. ;)

[scrumpleberry]

OR IS IT?????? Er, no. I'm working on a Violette.

...

Slowly.

EDit: HERE. PROOFS.
