So, this http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1114271&user_id=158007&np&np is the first drawing I submitted here. With the idea of seeing if we had made any progress in these years, I decided to take another shot at the same idea. Back then the drawing didn't satisfy me and, even though it hasn't aged as horribly as others, a lot of water has passed under the bridge... People will probably point out the "anatomy" is better now, but that will be missing the whole thing. The lines are obviously cleaner now, and the colours and illumination are much better. The is much more important But the real challenge on this drawing is getting the "energy" right (it's where I failed back then). Ariel is not your usual "do good" hero. Her morality is more complicated than that. Also, this spell she is casting is very nasty, as it can kill many enemies at once, the weaker ones going first. So the low view was chosen to show her power and absolute dominance. Also her face is in a distorted grin, when you play with that sort of power, and you channel directly from the Negative Energy Plane, even if just for a moment, your evil side will show. I'm not sure if I succeeded getting all I had in mind for this drawing... oh well.
