I was making some images for homework and I came across this Geomancer pic I had been working on.

Geomancer

Originally I was going to draw some more geomnacer pics, put them together, and create a wallpaper thingy. (Yeah, I know its not really good enough for wallpaper material, but I gotta start somewhere)

But with my busy schedule I don't have time. So instead I took what I had finished and put it together to make this 1 pic instead.

Lets see if anyone recognizes it.

The Geomancer was made only using Vector lines in Corel Draw. Its got its own charm but I wonder if I could have done better using a different style. I just took the vector drawing and put a background and words in the pic with it.

To be honest, that's probably the prettiest female Geomancer you'll see in-game or out. I like the choice material, too--geomancers haven't really been thrust on the center stage. smile.gif

Good job!

That's one nice pic there, Ruj (yes, I am Capt. Obvious). I'm especially fond of the coloring job — it's beautiful. thumbup.gif

Well, it'd make a decent wallpaper by herself, at least. biggrin.gif

It's beautiful. heart.gif

The coloring was done with the same tool I used to make the lines. They are called vector lines in Corel Draw. Basically its a line drawing tool. I can draw a straight line or curved lines or whatever. If I choose I can connect lines together to create an inclosed space, which I can fill in with color, or a pattern, etc. Kinda like using a paint tool to fill in a box with color.

So all those different streaks in her hair...each is a different vector box filled in with color.
Tedious? Yes. It doesn't have the charm of a hand drawn and inked image, but I was trying something different.

Combining this technique with the look of inked manga images I think I could turn out something pretty good.

I'm very impressed. It's excellent, especially for an amateur artist like yourself.

....wow, that was condescending.

Don't worry, Ruju, we still add art from amateurs. wink.gif

It's brilliant.

I love it. thumbup.gif

Edit
So as to make my post productive, I especially like the lighting and the colour. It goes well with the picture, in my opinion.

Great job! happy.gif

If Ninja Golf Clapâ„¢ didn't make absolutely no sense out of context, I would so save it as a background.

Oh yeah. And amateur? My butt!
