Ed's general creative arts thread - "Re - Alli"

Update


This is Lug Nut. He is from my dead RPG Maker Project, NFT. he was my favorite character of the game because though he looks maniacal in this picture, he was the most complex. He is possessed by the demon that killed his entire home town, forced to fight to please the demon. The demon gives him more power than he can handle, so he often becomes a thoughless juggernaut. Outside of power, Lug Nut stays from the others and refuses to talk to anyone. He ends up opening up to Dirk, letting him know about the demon. He feels remorse for the things he does in his blindness and wishes he could just escape. Towards the end of the game, he would've killed the demon in his head. Because he knows the spells himself, he is able to use the demon's spells after he is defeated, making him a powerful, yet slow ally.

But the game will never happen, so..... best I can do is this.

...some of you know I am currently using a "Pumpkin headed" avatar. But that is not technically "me." That is a character named Jack and he belongs to a comic I draw in my spare time. He is not my representative. Neither was the purple-haired guy in white. (Foxy)

The image I am about to show you is my representative. It is my real "internet image." The only reason I never showed you him is that I found that Grandy was a thief. So am I. <.< So, I instead use him in other forums. But I just made this picture of him that I'm too proud not to show here. Took me two days, and I think it came out well considering I didn't use any flashy effects.

Any opinions?

It looks cool Ed!

Okay you got me doing it too.This is the real me.

[Red Fox]

Oh boy I'm tired... I thought he had a sock in his eye untill I realized it was his arm. But yeah looks good.

Hey fish, you a jedi?

Who made this thread? <.<
This ain't an art gallery.

I don't like how the coloring on the whip thing is the same as the shadow on the shirt. Other than that, it's a cute little stylized thing that, given the opportunity, I would take home, cuddle, and shortly forget about entirely.

Ed:Sorry,i just thought maybe we could start a treand.Didn't mean to hijack your thread.

It was a hybrid night. A blending, mixing of dark and light. Dark enough to mask a man in the distance, but not dark enough to blind him. I watch from a tall Oak by the post. The guards greet the guests to the castle. It was a grand party. The king's daughter has returned and all is jubilant. However, the town left itself weak. They would return home without the wealth they coveted so much. I would. I see couple after couple walk in with their best. But then, a guard looks over at me, squints, and points.

I leap over to the next tree and I hear him mention seeing something. Then silence. I assume they've ignored it. I find myself in front the window to the princess herself. She is not happy and is clearly showing it. I hang on the other side of a large branch and listen to their conversation, the whole time watching what I wanted tonight - the King's Crown. "Father, I'm glad you've expelled the thoughts of my previous suitor, but finding me another so soon isn't the right thing to do right now."
"Charity, why do you still worry for him? He is gone and is never returning."
"You say it as though he chose to disappear." The kings pauses. "Do you?"
"It is a possibility." She is now more disgusted than angry.
"They'll find him! They have yet to interrogate his parents!"
"I'm sure the royalty has better things to do than worry about their children."
"Maybe you do, but he was a treasure to the entire land!"
"Charity, I'm not going to explain this to you again, finish getting ready and come downstairs!" He leaves and slams the door doing so. I snap out of my fixture of his crown. The girl refuses to finish the hair she had been so painstaking brushing. Tired of this story, I climb down a bit and see the grand ballroom through another window. I watch the crown atop the King walk into the room and announce that his daughter will be down soon. The dancing stops and the couples take their seats. As soon as the King walks to the center towards his chair, I see the opportunity. Everyone is furthest from him as will ever be. I leap from the tree and through the window. Luckily, I land on my feet and the room begins to buzz. It is I, they say. Black.


tl;dr - His alias is Black, he watches the princess who's angry at her father for trying to get her another suitor after losing her last one to a mysterious disappearance. Black leaps through the window to try and take the King's Crown.

Yes, he has a background story. I'll continue time to time.

If you want honesty, I laughed.

2 days.  Cmon dude thats like 10 minutes worth of work at most.

I cant even tell what hes doing.  Does he have a black eye or are those some kinda weird glasses.  Is the arm coming out of his eye socket?  I dont get it.

I think some kind of coherent body structure would do you well if you're looking to improve.  Like, CAN A NIGGA GET SOME SHOULDAZ? Instead of the MY ARMS COME OUT OF MY NECK.  And Im gunna assume that the other arm not holding the knife is bent.  If so, why is it still as long as the one holding the knife.  Thats weird, and if you're gunna go with the whole ITS CARTOONY AND SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE THAT, consistency is UNIVERSAL.

Brutal honesty helps.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Only thing I dislike is the left arm.

[X_marks_the_ed]

Brutal honesty helps.

Indeed.

Only retort is that I can't draw with a mouse. I'm just glad something decent came out of it. So glad, I HAD TO SHOW IT OFF.

[Phayre]

Agreed.
But he has cuddly shoes! Look at them cuddly foots! They be so cuddlywuddlykins!
...now I've digressed into baby talk.
but the writing....  not so much on the cuddly. A hybrid night? I'm all for original adjectives, but... no. Just no. And your dialogue feels quite stiff. Stylized lack of contractions can work, but only if you do it right.

[Fisherson]

Hey Ed,do you play soul calibur? 'cause i noticed all the iteims look a lot like
the ones from the create a character section sc3.

[X_marks_the_ed]

A hybrid night?

Hmmm...thought I deleted that. o.O

Stylized lack of contractions can work, but only if you do it right.

I wasn't aiming for a lack of contractions.

Ed,do you play soul calibur?

Soul Calibur: Yes, Soul Calibur 3: No. Still too far behind the times for that game.

[Miss Muffet]

He's cute though at first I thought he was a girl with no fashion sense and with a sock stuck up her nose. But then I looked closer and realized I was wrong.
