Holy Fireby `Cataclysm-X

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

-----Edit-----
LoL I changed the title to the english version because there seem to be a few grammar mistakes.
Thanks for pointing that out ^_^

_{One of the 4 elementals I'm working on.
It's a special project (called "sanctum") which I'll put in my artbook!

Ignis is a fire element.

The dark part of her hair looks like a crown, while the white part shows her true nature.

The elementals are known for their dark skin and short length: only 3 feet high!}

--------------------------------

About the drawing

Yes people, I did it. This drawing was 100% made without any reference images! Honestly I think it's looking pretty realistic for something that's made up. I'm so happy!

Honestly I had no idea how to draw flames. Hell, I still don't know how to draw them!

But in the end I think you can recognize the character as a fire elemental.

Again the background was mainly drawn with an HB 0.5mm mechanical pencil, thought at some point I really got annoyed so I used a regular HB instead.
I basically got the same results anyway.

The face was drawn with an H mech. pencil. As for the hair... I made videos of that part!

(I still need to edit those.)

--------------------------------

Stuff used:_{H, HB, B, 2B mechanical pencils

tissues for blending

kneaded eraser for highlights

pencil eraser for everything else

Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook paper A4}
Time spent: Approx 18 hours

_{Title inspired by the band Adagio.}

--------------------------------

_{P.S.: I think I'll draw more of these things from now on instead of game fanart. I'm kind of 'done' with Final Fantasy drawings and all...

I'll finish Zack and KH though! Or Fran...}

waaaa cool die is echt mooi <3
zit jij op een kunst HBO school? (ik namelijk wel artez)

`Cataclysm-X Oct 28, 2009 Professional Traditional Artist

Dankjewel

Nee ik doe geen HBO kunst opleiding. De enige keer dat ik aangenomen wilde worden, wilden ze mij niet aannemen dus had ik maar zoiets van "Laat maar. Dan doe ik het zelf wel!"

*Chibi-C Oct 28, 2009 Student Filmographer

lol no prob

ja had ik ook met mbo rijn ijsel maar die stinken van alle kanten, Artez daarintegen heeft zijn eigen regel want met mijn vmbo diploma zou ik daar normaalgesproken nooit binnen komen maar omdat ze me creatief genoeg vinden mocht het toch

~DMantz Oct 21, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist
