Non-Vore. A commission done for Knite01. A woman has been transformed into a pretty metal statue, against her will by the looks of it. Whether this is meant to be a permanent fate, or she's just serving time for a crime in an artistic fashion, I'll leave up to the viewer to decide. And yes, the dildo-girl was used to inject the transformation, and is also a transformation victim herself.
This took me AAAAges. I'd never used the program before, or layers, and I have a helluva time as it is with shading, let alone getting a shiny metallic look. After a few months I can honestly say I actually like how she looks now.
Now I can finally get to work on my other commissions with a clear conscience. -_-;

Very well done drawing^^

Thank you!

Wow. That's one hell of a story that could be written based on that scene alone. What program did you use? Photoshop? And layers totally rock. They are an artist's best friend!
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
Indeed, this scene offers up many possibilities for a tale. I'm highly tempted to be honest... I'll have to ask Knite01 if he minds first though. Occurs to me that it would be a *little* closer to your type of read as well, with the UB-type insertion, as well... ;)
I used the "Photoshop Elements" program that came with my Bamboo Fun. Layers indeed make a hell of a difference in coloring a piece. Of course my ancient half-dead laptop was having a heck of a tough time once the file had reached 26MB at the end... O_o;
Thanks!

Uh oh.
Now this is the best advice a digital artist will EVER receive.
Add 512 more mb of RAM to your machine and you will extend its life by a) reducing memory swapping to your HD; thereby b) cutting down on the heat generated inside your laptop; and thus c) also extending your battery charge.
+512 megs is sweet, +1 gig is miraculous.
Take 1 or 2 memory upgrades and call me in the mornin'. :D

Maybe more like "get a new computer instead of hand-me-downs." ;)
Posted by Jacquelope 15 years ago Report
Ah, if you have enough coin for that then look more for RAM than hard drive space or even speed. PM me if you wanna know why. :)

Nope, don't mind at all.

Hmm, tempting, then. ^_^

OH my friggen gosh, that's awesome! Dude, good friggen job!
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
*Is a little frightened of the excited person* O_o'
Ha ha, thanks a lot! Means a lot to me that you like it! The lighting is off of course, but doing reflective metal with my first true use of layers and a Photoshop(ish) program was insane. By your friggen good reaction ^_^ I can only assume she looks fairly good.
Dare I ask for a critique? O__o I *think* her proportions are okay (other than the larger-than-most-women breasts, of course, but that's a given)
Posted by pluralofspoot 15 years ago Report
Actually, that's why I'm so impressed. It's a lot better than what I'd have expected you to do from that little critique I gave two or three years ago. I'm really impressed.
But here you go:
The most jarring mistake is the perspective of the wall. Actually, the perspective of the rest of it is quite good, but the bricks look unnatural. They look like they're getting larger as they get farther away, because they're a bit... too much the same size.
The proportions from what I see look beautiful. I think the breasts could be lowered.. the wrists, from the perspective, while I think you did a fantastic job with the depth, the wrists look like they could be moved back a little more. The calves and ankles seem to be a little... off, but I can't tell because I don't have an accurate reference for now, so they may be fine.
It took me a few seconds to realize she was supposed to be metallic, though. If you still have the line-art, try experimenting by using darker edges next to the bright highlights. I find that drastic contrast makes things look more metallic.
The shadow is beautiful, the depth is beautiful, the proportions are beautiful, and I really really like it. ^_^

OH RIGHT and I really like the face, too. =3
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
First off: I HAVE taken a few courses since your critique. I rarely if ever have time to practice with the farm though so usually stick to my quicker drawings.
You're right on the wall. I think it DOES widen. From this angle it should get a little smaller... but the lines are very different because I added it in digitally well after scanning in the drawing.
Her breasts... maybe. Again, I made changes post-scan; her right breast was wayyy too high before. Actually I look at it now and think her left one could be a trace lower to be even with the other...
The wrists back... mayhaps a little. Admittedly this was a wierd perspective and posture. To be leaning back to "expose" herself below yes, she probably should have been leaning back a little more...
As for the metallic look... I'm not going back on it now. It killed my sanity just to get THIS much right ;) The darker edges around the highlights were suggested to me; darker didn't look right at the time. To me.
The shadow, oddly, is off. At least to her right, on the block behind her.
Thank you!

Thanks ^_^
Posted by pluralofspoot 15 years ago Report
The darkened areas don't even have to be right next to the highlights, to be honest. Though there should be some back-lighting, which means that yes, the edges might be actually a little lighter than the shadows a little deeper in, but...
I just find that darkness next to white really makes the shine -pop-, and makes the surface look very reflective and metallic.
It's difficult to say for the breasts. Incidentally, though they do hang down down, it should also be noted that the muscle of the breast hangs from the shoulder, instead of from the collar bone. You drew them to a degree that they should look like they're being held together by a bra, but in reality, gravity should be pulling them apart, a little. Let me draw up a demo real fast.

That may not be the best sketch, but the point here is that the boobs actually hang in from the sides. >> Incidentally, I'm not very good at Bra'd breasts, so just ignore that. They generally don't start higher than the shoulders.
As it turns out though, this is just general anatomy. It might look different if breasts were that big, but they still look awkward to me.
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
Half of what you said went over my head. -_-;
However as I look now, yes, you're right... her breasts DO seem to be gravitationally attracted to each other. ;) While larger breasts I think WOULD be closer in the middle like breasts in a bra, probably not to this point.
Thank you again. Even if a lot of what you say refuses to sink into my peabrain I still appreciate it. ^_^

My English skills decrease drastically when I try to explain art. o.0
Anyhow! XD Yeah, I hope the little illustration helps some.
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
It's ME, not YE!
One of the problems is also that I tend to draw by "feel" (No, that doesn't mean I'm gonna head out and grope someone -_-). As in I just kinda... draw... without REALLY making sure the anatomy is right. Just that it looks somewhat human.

Hey, if you're enjoying it and having fun, that's all that matters. =3
Posted by Knite0 15 years ago Report
from what I remember, he DID try using darker edges but they were too thin and made it look too 2D
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
Of course the darker edges overall were your suggestion anyway. ;)

That shine makes the statue look fantastic. I'd say it was worth the effort.
Also, that hair style looks vaguely like that of Zero Suit Samus. I actually thought it was her in the nude and the metal at first.
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
Her hair was actually different at first; I was asked to change it to this. and the client is always right.
The shine, even if far from perfect, IS fantastic... compared to the TWENTY versions I went through to get this!
Like I said... the reflective metal look is NOT the best choice for a newbie to try. ;)
Posted by Knite0 15 years ago Report
18 actually if you count this final version
Posted by KavenBach 15 years ago Report
Eighteen versions YOU saw. ;)
I went through the alphabet on different versions, up to X, so 24... and I went through three before I believe it was, if not more... and if you count the final, probably not far from 30 versions. ;)
...shows how good I am at coloring. -_-;

Wow Masterful work man. Im truly impressed! Thanks for sharing this.
Posted by UnbirthDude 9 years ago Report
very nicely done. i have always loved the idea of the "prey" being messed with by getting turned into something odd like metal, wood, or gum. also i wondered what program you are talking about? i have been looking around online for good drawing programs to learn and work with. PS sorry for text wall.
