Vil Portrait + Experement

[Vilmah]

Well here's my latest! Since someone said (Thaena?) that my pic of Vil lacked expression, I've been trying to combine the expressions I use in my usual style with my painting. I figured that Vil is known for her aloofness, so I decided to give the classic "He said WHAT!?!?!?" expression on her face.

Now, here's the experement.

The first person to post in this thread (who actually wants one.. lolz) I will draw you a portrait in this style. I can't make promises that I'll do a ton of these, since I have no idea how much longer my job is gonna be this slooooow. So! Whoever posts first will be my experement.

Aaaand.. go!

[Chingaso]

He said WHAAAAT???

[Vilmah]

CHINGASO WINS!!

EDIT: Assuming he wants it..? If so, Chingaso, what kinda expression do you want? I was considering the, "I SO didn't grab Vilmah's butt" expression from Molten Core.

[Skafloc]

If he doesn't Ill take it..

A " Well thats a new one..! " look would be cool...

[Morrigaine]

Not fair! My government computer takes too long to long me in.

Consolation prize for second place? Pleeeezzze?

Third place - see what I mean?

[Vilmah]

Okay, if Chingaso doesn't reply by today then Skafloc gets it.

A "That's a new one!" look on his face would be kinda fun, I think!

[Vilmah]

Yeehehehe!! Oh, now I'm inspired!!

[Sulajin]

So... when are you going to post that pic you drew for me?

[Vilmah]

That's flatwork! This is work I'm doing at work! And I'm not pleased with that drawing.. I may do it over.. my skills have grown dramatically, over the past few months.

[Sulajin]

Well that's fair, but I'm getting antsy to see it...

[turen]

Meh, I really wanna see an 'Aww heeelll noo" expression on somebody

[Lovely]

Me too! On Lovely!!!

[Shadowspeak]

I think a drawing like that for Shadow would be.... difficult, i guess?

Undead can't be easy to draw into this kinda' art. Lotsa wrinkles and other features.

[Vilmah]

That's kinda the point, Shad. I'm going for cartoony expressions with realistic coloring.

[Shadowspeak]

Then you have permission to draw me if you would like... but I know you wont... but I'm not going to be like 8/10 of the other people jumping around going "ME ME! OVER HERE! MEEEE!!"

Either way i think you did a pretty good drawing there. Thats what I'de picture Vil as.

[Vilmah]

Thank you for both!

[Skafloc]

That is a good point. Don't feel like you have to draw anything, I just tossed it out to you as an idea for an expression exercise. I love your art whomever you wind up drawing when you have the desire and time.

[turen]

eh, I already got one for Tubruk way back when, so I am content.

[Fallacy]

Well, I wouldn't expect you to be able to do one of Fallacy, since he has nothing to have an emotion on his face with. No lips, no cheeks, no eyebrows... That's why I just turn his head in certain ways to give a sense of emotion.

[Niethan]

Expression suggestion: "I didn't do it. Really."

[Chingaso]

Chingaso is replying. Again. What part of first post was not clear. Vultures...

There's the always-classic, "Omigawd, hufarted?" look.

[Vilmah]

Oh great, now I gotta do Chingaso.. Heeeeeeeee..... should be fun!

[Chingaso]

...and?

[Khiskiva]

I'm working on it! Your turqoise skin is hard to light!

[Chingaso]

*enjoys being difficult*

[Bir]

I have nothing better to do.. so I'll draw you for fun.
:oops: :cry: :lol:
This is the first femme orc I've ever drawn in my life.. Sorry if it sux. <3

I have the opposite problem to Vil. Anatomy is where my problem lies, expression I usually get down pat. Like in the vector-work I've done in past on a certain Video Game character. You try and get some sort of expression on something that doesn't even show a face.

It becomes a lot about lighting, text... you can get a really dramatic or really silly look on something by changing the colors, even if the facial expression doesn't change.

I really should actually try doing some sketches of Dio's face to do some expressive stuff, but I'm only even barely good with human anatomy, let alone Tauren. And I hate working off 5 pages of reference pictures that don't even really suit the thing I'm drawing. I wish the drawing classes I did were actually any good, but no, before we can learn anatomy we have to learn to do shading first.

[Khiskiva]

I got no problem with expressions, it's just expressions in this particular style that eluded me. I think I got it now, though.

Well if it makes you feel any better, the eyes freaked me out when I opened the window and saw the picture fully loaded. >.>

[Khiskiva]

Vil's eyes? Why??

[Chikt]

No idea. I think it just caught me by suprise. I flipped over from another website and got met with these big yellow eyes, and did a little wee.

[Khiskiva]

Hehehe, they're so big and friendly, tho'! Imagine those big eyes leading you into battle!

[Chikt]

Vilmah: "For great justice!"

Nojinbu: "Big... pretty... yellow eyes... huh? Oh! Right!"
