XG Fox Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Heh, you're welcome. I'll have at least a picture of Alexandria (if not scanned, anyway) up later.

HAND COLORED! 14] Ragna Twin Sword, who says you can't doodle in Geometry? 15] Plasma Blade, Geometry class again, 2 years ago 16] Best for last, the Lightning Blade. Do I need to say it again? Geometry class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XG Fox Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Meh, left unexpectedly there for a few hours. Went to go help my dad find a new minivan, his was recently totaled for the smallest accident I've ever seen. Small wreck, but it was also a '98 Dodge Grand Caravan, it was getting old and was ready to fall apart. We had the transmission rebuilt 3 or 4 times over a period of FOUR years! And in the wreck, the fuel pump was damaged, the radiator, and it was just racking up more and more money. So we had to just find another, we're still lookin' around. Alright, since I just got back, I'll go to the bathroom, get a drink or snack or something, and take a picture of the Alexia pic, partially because I don't have access to the scanner at this time. It should be up within the next 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XG Fox Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Next 30 minutes. Hah. Yeah right. Minor delay there, BUT, here they are! Alexandria Coraos completion! NEXT PICTURE IS ONE OF MY ONLY NON-FOX PICTURES EVER!!!!! Here's one of those Golden Sun pics, this is the only one with the background. Hand colored by me, this one has the Mars Lighthouse from Golden Sun: The Lost Age in it, and my original GS character. And yes, the silver colored pencil is THAT shiny. Completed about 2 years ago, found yesterday. And... none of you know this, but Koriani USED TO have a Hyper mode, that was when I was a total Sonic nut, though. But anyhoo, here's a sketch I did in Science 2 years ago... darn 1 megapixel digital camcorder did all THREE of these pics, and THIS one has the worst quality. Figures.

XG Fox Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Dude, You KNOW I will!!! XG! You need to get better and draw like that! I would stare at your artwork for HOURS... Remember when you said that? Well, look what's sitting in front of you, Alexandria. Is THAT good enough to stare at for hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvolutionSFox Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 ... Rephrase the question please, it looks a little mixed up for me. If you mean, is it better than that to stare at for hours... In the middle. They're both good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coyote Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I really like your Alexandria pic, XG. Looks like a lot of work went into it and I think it paid off well. Listen . . . don't tell ESF this but . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Alexandria looks better than Krystal Heh heh, now let me run away before the Krystal lovers destroy me! But seriously, I think I just go for the Native American look . . . guess it's because I have quite a bit of Indian ancestry from both sides of my family. Not to mention the wild, untamed fur look plus the Indian-esque attire looks great on her. Excellent, excellent work on the face and eyes. Love the colors on the Golden Sun picture. That silver almost has a 3D-like effect . . . and if that blade was a little wider, that'd be almost exactly like a sword I'd like to have. And Koriani looks awesome, though somewhat barrel-chested (I believe that's the correct term. I can see the Sonic influence (which is just fine in my book) and he definitely looks the "Hyper-Mode" part. You're really good at little details and coloring. I suppose I notice that because those are the two areas which have always given me fits. Nice use of shadows and light too. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on the indian look part, a lot of my mom's side of my family is of indian descent. Maybe not so much in the more recent generations, but I'm 1/64th Cherokee, so it wasn't TOO far back down the road. I just tend to go for that look too! And I could have done Alexandria in an Assault style... but I thought this would bring out the cuteness. And it seems to have worked quite well, it has me in a trance for hours whenever I look at her. The Golden Sun pic... I sure as hell wasn't expecting the silver colored pencil to reflect like that! I just put it under a bright light and snapped the pic, and look what happened! And on that last one, remember, that was 2 years ago. I've got a lot better since then. Back then I was basically drawing sideviews, hadn't learned how to draw the front like I'm doing now yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashster Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Flat heads, eyes like i've never seen before, and too spiky (especially the ships)(thats nothing bad tho). That's all I can say. Oh and also, Idk why imo Alexia looks a bit deformed. I like Krystal a WHOLE LOT more and I think Alexia is just almost a copy of Eagle Lily in XG style.

XG Fox Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 ^ Hence your signature line. Clothes are definitely different, that's for sure. Plus, the fur's not gonna be that color. And Eagle Lily's clothes are brown, Alexandria's likely won't be. They'll have more color than that. Only similarity I see is the cuteness factor!

Guest Coyote Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Gee man, want to jump on his case a little more. I think he might still have some desire to draw left. I see in your signature that you believe that being criticized leads one to improve himself. Hmm . . . sounds a bit like trying to build a skyscraper by using C4 compacted by a wrecking ball: ultimately explosive, very dangerous, and highly opposed to what one is supposedly attempting to accomplish by critiquing. I do believe that XG has areas in which he could improve (as do we all in our various talents) but I don't focus on those in my comments, nor do I believe it is necessary to do so. People are more intelligent than others often give them credit for, and can usually figure out what they need to improve on without the need for someone to come in a "inform" them. I believe that if one must make a negative statement, it should be PRECEEDED by at least one positive comment. The focus should be on what one does well, not the opposite. There are quite enough people in this world to discourage others, we don't need any more. The bottom line is that none of us have the right to be overly critical of anyone else as none of us are "professionals" in any field as yet. Don't walk around thinking you have a moral obligation to "correct" or point out other people's "errors;" you don't, that's not your job and you sure ain't gettin' paid to do it. The bottom of the bottom line is: there's no need to tear each other apart even a little bit. Especially when there's absolutely nothing to be gained by doing so.

And Eagle Lily's clothes are brown, Alexandria's likely won't be. They'll have more color than that. XG, Im talking about the B&W drawing. I'm not talking about color and her clothes are the same. except you made it a bit different and put some other details. But its basically the same as Lily. People are more intelligent than others often give them credit for, and can usually figure out what they need to improve on without the need for someone to come in a "inform" them. Some people can figure it out. But if you never tell him what's wrong he will continue drawing that way thinking people like it! There are quite enough people in this world to discourage others, we don't need any more. I'm not discouraging him. He draws well. IMO I said he should work on those areas I mentioned that's all. I never said his drawing sucked did I? The bottom line is that none of us have the right to be overly critical of anyone else as none of us are "professionals" in any field as yet. Don't walk around thinking you have a moral obligation to "correct" or point out other people's "errors;" I'm doing it because I want him to improve cuz he can draw well. But like I said.. "Some people can figure it out. But if you never tell him what's wrong he will continue drawing that way thinking people like it!" I agree but XG is a good a drawer! Indeed he is! But he could be better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A building will be destroyed by C4 -- an artist will not. If the artist is actually an artist, they will listen and improve upon themselves.
