Artist's Comments
Zyranth is a dryad, and while that is not an original concept or character, I would like the think the way I role play (and role played her) is.
She was first created shortly after I created Maiyannya and before I created Suliss', making her actually older (by a few months of the 10 year old mark for Suliss'urn) and I had totally forgotten about her.
Recently, the memory of her was stirred up and I was, obviously, only going to be satisfied with drawing her as I saw her--not as how some other artist saw her.
I believe she is original in the way that I try and play her, animal-like and feral, as well as the fact that she is an Iron oak dryad--part of a race of dryad's bound to a tree I (no idea is original, I had made it up on the spot though and ran with it) called an Iron Oak. Mostly tree, part metal.
It was fun doing this. I don't like her eyes and will think about fixing it further, I just know that if I continue, right now, fixing, I will ruin it. So she's done for now.

CommentsThe hair on this is amazing! I don't think there's anything terribly wrong with the eyes, actually. They reach out and grab you, like the hair. The only thing I can really say IMHO is that the hair is so realistic-looking that-- together with the leaf crown-- it tends to give the face a surreal feel.... as though nothing but a photograph would fit it. That's a lot to live up to for any painted face.
GREAT work! -- *** Creator of the Bob the Retarded Basilisk Fan Club *** "I'mma do the things that I want to do; I ain't got a thing to prove to you." - Weezer Thank you so much! You know, there's nothing more awesome for me than having people really like what I do, or hearing about it! (I'm so loopey tonight, forgive the corniness!)
-- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." I love all of the colors you used in her skin. It looks lively. Her hair is wild. I can guess that took forever. Lovely work, especially on the details!
I am going to say that wow the hair here looks like amazing. I love the way you did the texture and just all of the other elements to this are really just amazing. wow! FAV
Illusion -- I Gave You My Purity My Purity You Stole The hair, thankfully, did NOT take forever.
Generally, I would do oodles and oddles and oddles of layers of color at different opacities--but instead, I opted to start with a flat dark base, block in the shadows and highlights with a large brush--THEN go to a 1px brush and do a few shades of lines over it and call it a day. I felt that doing too detailed with the hair wouldn't have matched the softness of her face. Anda blahblahblahblah!  What I REALLY meant to say was: thank you!-- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Thank you sooo much. It was a lot of fun to pick up the tablet pen and make something I didn't totally hate xD
-- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." Haha, no worries about going on about it! You're welcome.
Sounds like you did the hair a smart way. It looks beautiful. I haven't attempted curly hair like that myself yet, LOL. |
