Yui-chan Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Hi, again. First, I just want to mention that if these posts are annoying anyone, please just let me know and I'll stop putting the new character sketches in here. I know they're not writing, but I was asked to share what I'd done way back when I started. Please do tell me if they're bugging you, and I can share them elsewhere instead of taking up forum space. For now, then... Here's our favorite guy with a really strange name.... Stick! I couldn't resist the title, given his laidback attitude and pose. This guy really does speak softly and carry a big, pointy stick. My apologies to Teddy Roosevelt for appropriating his favorite proverb. I hope you'll enjoy. I feel like I learned a lot from this one. Also, as always, thanks have to go out to Aegon and our closet mirrors for being the pose and reference sources. (No, that doesn't mean that Stick looks anything like Aegon. Sorry. ) Yours, ~Yui PS: Once again, click the image for a detail shot of Stick.
Tasslehoff Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Once again, Yui.. Very very well done. What an artist you are!
Archaneus Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Great job, Yui. I think you did better on this one than mine.
Kasmandre Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Great job, it's very...Stick. Hmm, I'm gonna have to get myself on this list sometime soon...
The Big Pointy One Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 (edited) Like I said before, really well done! I really like it. I'm impressed how you captured the image of Stick from my jumbled messages and what-not; I know I can kinda ramble on... lots. Heh, I also like you managed to fit both backgrounds that I said in there, quite nifty-licious ^.^ (Hah, that time, I made that one up... heh...) Also, strange side-note, throw glasses, a little bit of redness on the face (gah, stupid acutane... not working 100%... heh...) and about 10 pounds, and that pretty much looks exactly like me. And as far as I know, Yui hasn't ever seen me irl before... unless of course I have a stalker, in which case... cooooooooooool! Oh, and one more thing... would it be cool if put this on my website? I personally don't see a reason why you wouldn't want me to, but I figured it'd be best to ask first ^.^ (With due credit of course ) Edited April 11, 2003 by The Big Pointy One
Brute Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 (edited) simply excellent, Yui! Bravo. The attention to detail here is quite impressive. excellent body structure, shading, and symmetry. oh..and when I saw the hands and feet (two features I always found hard to replicate in such acurate detail) I was impressed all over again. Nifty work, kiddo! keep this up and you'll find yourself with a very long list of people begging you to draw characters for them. Edited April 11, 2003 by Brute
Justin Silverblade Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Absolutely amazing. I'm thinking the same as you Kas, I'm gonna have to add my name to the list some ol' time. Yui, it's a great treat to see your work. I feel honoured just to gaze upon it. Keep it up! - Justin
Lady Celes Crusader Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 WOW! That's a great image. I love the pose.
Gyrfalcon Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 ..What can I say? I'm stunned- you are an excellent artist, Yui-chan. *bows deeply to her in respect for her skills as an artist*
Yui-chan Posted April 11, 2003 Author Report Posted April 11, 2003 You guys are way too nice. Thanks! Rune: Rah, rah, ree? Gyrfalcon: While you're stunned, do you mind if I steal Daryl to play with? Celes: Merci beaucoup. I had a lot of fun with that pose, so I'm especially glad that you like it. Justin: For anyone who spells 'honored' with a u, the portraiture charge is tripled. ... of course, three times zero is still zero. D'oh! Brute-dear: Thanks so much. Hands and feet are the drawing Devils, but a good mirror goes a long way towards helping defeat them. Still, his left hand is mucho saddo. Something to improve upon next time. :/ Stick: ... darnit, it's no fun to stalk you when you know about it! Anyway, the image is for you, so of course you can put it on your site. Would you please just mention who drew it and put a link back to my site ( http://lucent.twoskies.net )? I can even provide a banner if that would fit your layout. --> Yui does the 'little kid playing at being a professional' dance. Kasmandre: Well, send me a PM if you want on there. I dunno how much longer I'm going to keep the offer open, though, so sooner might be better than later. I didn't realize how many people would be interested! Ayshela: ... ah, blessed silence... Archaneus: Awww... well, I'm sorry that yours wasn't as good, but that was part of the idea. I'm learning a lot with every new sketch, so hopefully we'll find that each one is slightly better than the last. Tasslehoff: Why? What artist am I? No, seriously... go check out Epilogue to see some real art. That'll put my scribbles in a much more humble perspective. Yours, ~Yui
The Big Pointy One Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 *Stick chuckles* Good good, and of course, I'll *gladly* link to your site, if you want to send me a banner, that'd be great too! That is, if you don't mind it being only on the links page... and the fact that my site hasn't really be updated in a year... still! One day... Of course, if anyone else around here has a website that they want to be linked from mine, feel free to send me a message with the addy and what not, as well as a good reason why I should do such a favour! Okay, just kidding... although please and thank you are always appreciated (Not like anyone would really want a link on my website or anything... it's deader than the Mr.Bunny fanclub {registration} ...and *THAT* is roughly about as dead as it gets. Heh. )
Yui-chan Posted April 11, 2003 Author Report Posted April 11, 2003 Where is your site anyway, oh pointy one? ~Yui
Tasslehoff Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Yui, there may be better artist, but it doesnt mean you arent an artist yourself.
Jechum Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 Jechum floats in... Looks at his 45. Jechum floats out...
Lady Celes Crusader Posted April 12, 2003 Report Posted April 12, 2003 Tasselhoff, these are words of wisdom.
Gyrfalcon Posted April 12, 2003 Report Posted April 12, 2003 *Daryl bounds over to Yui-chan and wags his tail at her, grinning a giant foxy grin as Gyrfalcon continues to stare entranced until her mention of a gallery for Stick to visit penetrates.* Gallery... *Aegon is nearly run over as Gyrfalcon dives through the gate ahead of Stick* (Excellent artwork, Yui-chan! You have a true gift. )
Ayshela Posted April 12, 2003 Report Posted April 12, 2003 blessed silence?? umm.. okay.. i simply couldn't think of super enough superlatives, but if you prefer silence... (fades out)
Yui-chan Posted April 13, 2003 Author Report Posted April 13, 2003 Ayshela-sama, It was only a generalization, not a comment with any relevance to who you are or how you speak. I'm one of those people who has a life largely lacking in nice, simple silences, and I was simply making a comment about how much the thought appealed. I know you were being kind. No worries. I thank you for your wordless comment, which spoke quite eloquently. Yours, ~Yui
Salinye Posted April 13, 2003 Report Posted April 13, 2003 Wow...Yui..You did a FANTASTIC job! What an honor to have a character sketch done by you! I mean WOW. Great work!! ~Salinye
