Feathers! (and scales)

I'm having a wee bit of trouble with these, so they're taking longer than expected to sketch out. For a reference point, my death goddess series images were 9x12 in.; these are bigger. (Note: I AM still working on my Adam/Eve bristol image. I haven't forgotten. :3)

Short bitching: Why do I choose odd-featured actors to draw?  First, Matt and David, then Benedict. Now I can add Misha Collins to the list. Okay, he's more "normal-looking," but fuck, he's HARD. (Not meant to be dirty, even though I think he'd enjoy the implication of perversity. He be cool like that.) Even his frickin' hair's hard. D:

Rosalind the Devourer (River: "Spoilers.") - in her vessel, with her true form(partly) behind.
Hands are killing me. Again. At least I'll have fun inking those scales like I did with Eingana! It's hard to see here, but her scaly body parts do have small feathers in places. Also, the wings on those scaly "tentacles" each have little eyes. :D
I forgot her hospital wrist tag! ACK!


(Will be) Roz and Castiel when she confronts him about his sins. I have this scene already written inside my head. Can it be put to paper? 8D
They'll be in a dirty, ruined room when I put the background in.


Redone picture of Roz and Cas. Different angle, but I may redraw the other version (in landscape form) because I did like the original's idea/look. Then I can ink one and attempt to color the other. I've never colored on bristol. Might be fun. >.>
Yeah, Roz's pose is giving me fits. But I think I've solved it. I'll post another WIP later with her in it. Should I do progress posts like I did for my goddesses?
I probably should make his feathers smaller. They're almost as large as the ones in Roz's solo pic, and he's supposed to be further away here. Proportions, what are those? 8D


Should I post my music and video lists too? >.> Or are those just too clunky?

  1. Let's see, odd featured actors are waaaay more fun to draw. They have features you can focus on. The more symmetrical and more plain a face is, the more boring I find it. I find beauty in snaggle teeth, bony noses, etc.~ <3

    I'm glad to hear you're still working on the Adam/Eve picture and I've already commented on the partially inked Roz (I feel your pain at forgetting small details like bracelets. D: )

    The poses on the Roz and Castiel pictures are coming along great~ they give off a very classical vibe, like some of your past poses. Roz's spine is so sinuous in the middle picture and looking up at Castiel is clever and dynamic. You're getting better! Interesting form with sacrificing anatomy! \*^-^*/

    And I'm interested in that background for the second picture. I'm not patient enough for or good at backgrounds, but I admire the artists that can put the time into making a detailed background.

    (As far as proportions, maybe boy angels have bigger feathers? 8D)

    And sure, post more progress pictures! It will give us more to look at and will allow you to accomplish something (posting regularly)... that could get the ball rolling for getting the rest of the stuff done that you want to get done. ^^ And I actually miss the music and video lists! Even if I still haven't gone through the material on all of them, they are still interesting and I do end up listening to/watching a decent chunk of them.
