Kuarl's Character portait

Finally got it finished and scanned, just in time for my possible body switch -_-0

 

[Fian]

Pretty good stuff!

You drew this?

 

[CannonEater]

Yea I snagged the basic pose from I picture I drew a few years back to save me some time but yea its my work.

 

[Doshii Jun]

That art is amazing.

I'm still going to laugh about whatever the fuck is on his ass. Seriously dude, that shit's brilliant. Auron is now a pussy.

I'm serious though. That's some really great art!

 

[SageShooter]

PSH! Auron's sword is twice that size! And he uses one hand too! *growls and grumbles*

but yea! Great picture heh, very well drawn and I like the look on his face.

 

[CannonEater]

The thing on his ass is a shealth, hes supposed to be a thaxrian and apparently they use "odd swords" from the species bio so I was like "hey, to be different I'll make the sword rectangular instead of pointy at the tip!" ...Then, just as I was typing this I realized that that is exactly like the sword Sol Badguy has in Guilty Gear, and here I thought I was being creative.

 

[Doshii Jun]

Dude, it's still fucking cool. Don't sweat it.

 

[Weasel]

It's awesome, I'd love to see it colored.

 

[CannonEater]

Sorry, I am real bad at color... the line art is clean enough though if anyone wants to attempt go for it, just check my character bio to get all the coloration right.

 

[Toshiro]

I love it. ^^ I wish I could draw that well.

The fabric folds are AMAZING, and the long sideburn-hair works well somehow...

 

[Doshii Jun]

Now that I look at it again ... there's just one tiny, teeny, totally surmountable problem.

*points at dude's rank* I know he's not a Heisho already.

 

[Wes]

Nice pose.

I wonder wondering--why do the shoulderpads look like cutouts?

 

[Toshiro]

I saw them as inflexible pieces of paneling that fit over the shoulders because of the clothing lines...I guess I can see what you mean, Wes.

 

[Fred]

He actually drew them the very same way they are dawn in Nadesico.

I thought you idolized Nadesico Wes! ^_^

(Yes, I interpreted it as solid pieces too, not cutouts)

 

[Wes]

No, what I mean is the fabric looks reversed--the colored panels overlap the main part of the shirt and are thicker, it the blue part of the shirt is clearly thinner and overlapped in this one. There's also a bunch of buttons added.

 

[Fred]

...I remember I add a zipper on the Star Army uniform I draw even though your renditions seems to have none. To me, the button looked like a nice touch: many exotic outfit you see in fiction (especially animes) look cool... until you try to figure out how in heck they are supoposed to be put on/removed.

 

[Wes]

The Star Army jacket is kind of like the one in the Star Trek movies; it is clipped shut on the underside of the flap. The center part itself has a small zipper.

 

[CannonEater]

Ah, for some reason I thought that the blue section was a jacket over the white uniform top not one piece. and as for the rank pin every picture I could find of the uniforms that pin was used so I thought it was the same shape across the board. As for the buttons all I can say is that I love details the more I can cram in a piece the better, either way now that I know these little errors the next time I draw the uniform it will be correct.

 

[Zakalwe]

The sword is oversized and impractical.

Other than that (and taking in to acount it is the staple of all anime) extremely good art.

 

[Nyton]

You know I remember Yuuko's outfit in the character art gallery and that one had interesting shoulder pads. Then again I think it was a heavier duty outfit (space suit?) so I guess it needed the bigger pads. Anyways, I guess I'll add my chime to the chorus of well wishers regarding your pic. Yes it is definately very bad ass.
