The Chan's Art

[The_Chan]

Hi all...I'm new here. I'm also a starving artist. I'd like it very much if you took a peek at my work!

I'm a traditional artist (none of this digital bollocks!) and pride myself in what I do. I specialise in beasties/mythological stuff, so I thought you chappies would find it interesting. My current gallery (which is under construction, but a lot of work is still up) is an open Facebook group, and I don't *think* you need to join to be able to see the art. If you do, you can unjoin as soon as you're done if you like! As I said before, the gallery is under construction, and the picture quality on some of the images isn't stellar, so for that I apologise. This work is also a mix of very old and brand new stuff, so have fun browsing!

I'd appreciate it very much if you stopped by to look. Thank you!

A note to Mania - If you like what you see here, I was going to ask you if you would let me re-draw the site's ghost saber mascot (just for fun!) and see what you think? Thanks!

Very cool art! I love it. You have so much skill with colored pencil!

[The_Chan]

Thank you!

Sorry Mania - I couldn't resist...I've started on my rendition of the Ghost Saber mascot, just for giggles. At the moment it's only a sketch, with no spots, claws or whiskers, but I would very much like some feedback (or flames, I don't mind!).

Excuse the bad photo quality, the lighting in here isn't great and my camera is out of battery, so I've had to use my crappy webcam. There's a lot wrong with the sketch at this stage...for example, it's slightly cross-eyed (the pupils here are only placeholders!) and the left eye is a little off. This will be fixed though sirs and lasses!

Take a looksee -



This took me more or less half an hour, so relatively quick by my standards! Tell me what you think!

That looks amazing! Such an intense expression, I love how much the eyes pop, and the slinky yet powerful build.

Loving the rest of your gallery.

[The_Chan]

Thank you so much for all the feedback Veph, it's greatly appreciated...I'm glad you like what I do!

I thought I'd put it out there too that I'm also very much open for commissions at the moment, so if any of you would like anything, don't be shy!

[The_Chan]

Ghost Saber update! The sketch is now cleaned up and has spots...



To get a really ghostly feel, I'm going to be letting my boyfriend loose on this piece with photoshop (so he can show off his 1337 skills, as I don't do digital, except for touch-ups and for making hand drawings into web graphics!) The aftermath will vary, but SOMETHING will be posted. I may add some shading and a little colour, too. Watch this space!

[The_Chan]

Sorry for the post bombardment...but man have I had a fun day with this one! Here he is, finished, smoked, coloured and background...ed.

So here I present my finished Ghost Saber, in his home of Darkshore -



Thanks to my mister for helping me through the big long headache that is photoshop. Hope you all like!

[The_Chan]

Please can I have some feedback? Anyone?

[Varethyn]

*Gawks in amazement* Wow, that's brilliant! Both the drawing and the PhotoShop touch-up; so much detail and the eyes really stand out. It makes me think of how my ghostsaber, Myst, met her master for the first time. Good work both of you

[Silivren]

That's um...gorgeous o.o

[Mychelle]

I really do love the aspect of the game screenshot in the background merged into the drawing of the saber itself. Specially how its made see-through just like the kitty in-game. =P

[Chimera]

I was shocked to know that you drew that in less then half an hour, and then it got a whole lot better, and then it became perfection embodied in that final picture o.o

[Lupis]

Holy fel. xD The spots steal the show for me. They seem so well planned out, fitting perfectly!
