The Drawings and Writings of Ailis

Quite a fancy title for a thread!

Anywho, I finished some pictures and I have enough courage to post them...

Only problem is that there's an error for some reason! :'D

See if I can fix 'em, and if I can, you'll be seeing some reference sheets for Ailis pretty soon, along with some doodles and quick drabbles of her adventures.

ooh awesome, can't wait to see them!

Ooh~ Looking forward to seeing them Ailis. :3

Can't wait to see then

GOOD NEWS. I figured out the problem. There's a glitch in the program so I can't convert it to a .jpg, unless this website accepts .xcf (I think that's the type) pictures. I haven't tried in fear of losing my work (happened once when I uploaded something for my big brother). Right now I'm seeing if I can uninstall it, then re install it to fix it. It's gonna take a few hours, but should work!

oooh~ goood luck then hope all goes well. Make sure to keep copies of your pictures so they don't disappear then

Yeah same an I hope to see them soon

Remember how a long time ago I said I would post some reference pictures of Ailis? Well, after my computer broke, I began to look through some old files to see if anything was deleted in the accident.

I found a back-up line art, but not the coloring. I colored some of it, but now that I look at it, I wanted to try to make a new picture with her in it differently. I kinda wince at the sight of it now. ._.

Before I start to work on the new one, here's the old one I found and colored. Just to let people know what she basically looks like before I attempt a realistic portrait.

They're really cool! I love the colouring :3

wow! those are awesome! They look so cool!

Thanks! Just... Bleeeeh, something feels off about them, like I didn't do something right. >.< Ever get that feeling after you wrote or drew something?

I totally get that feeling about my own work, but I think yours are awesome :3

I guess it comes with being your own worst critic. We usually judge our work the most.

Yep, unfortunately true story. D:

For example, I think your drawing of Rebekka and Joe is awesome!! The coloring, the anatomy...

Ah well, such is the life of artists.

Yeah, the lineart was already done though :3 and Jo coloured it because she's awesome at wolfy drawings and colourings :3

but I know what you mean

Kudos to both of you then!!

AHAHAHA IT'S DONE!!!!!

My more serious attempt at drawing a semi-realistic Ailis. The picture to her right (our left) is showing the character she's trying to play; a loyal, vigilant warrior who feels as if her pack of fire is where her heart lies. Especially battle-scarred, gotta add that to her character's ego. So, an overly egotistical, loyal, and vigilant wolf.

To her left (our right), it shows her true colors; the red for the blood she's spilled without mercy, and if you can't tell, those are the wolf masks Comedy and Tragedy of the theater. Her shadowed face is just kinda there to add for the scary effect. x3

So, this is basically her in her glory; normally I would draw her bonier, but the way I painted the fur prevented it too much.

I hope you guys enjoy it!


(Yeesh I'm playing a character who's an actress who is playing a completely different character all together. The things I do for my characters. :'D)






--Edit--

Here's my new avatar. What do you think of her motto? :3

Oh thats awesome

They're really good! I love the colouring on the first one.

Wrote this little snippet before I finish Chewbo's birthday picture. Just to give a vague idea of the relationship between Ailis and Ian. I know it's cheesy, but I don't care! >:V


Both Ailis and Ian bounded through the grass and a fern, dodging rocks this way and that. In their imagination, they chased after an each-uisge trying to return to its home. They both found it an enjoyable past time; the two would chase creatures and pretend that they themselves were heroes from the old stories, then go off seeking more adventure. After all, what more was there to life than enjoying it to how you would want it to live?

Of course, in reality, each-uisges don’t exist, and neither do will-o-wisps, dragons, or trolls, but that didn't matter. Imagination served them well in the past, might as well serve them now.

“Let’s see ya catch up to me, aye?” Ian said, pushing his muscles to reach the lake faster. Behind him, his mate laughed gleefully. She howled, adrenaline pumping through her veins maddeningly, and with confidence pushed herself past him as well.

“You might be the stronger brute,” she remarked, a playful glint in her golden pools, “but you have to remember, I was always the faster one!” At that, the last he saw of her was when her copper tail disappeared to the right up on a hill. He whooped, and soon the glittering view of the lake’s waters came into view. Silver paws slowed to a stop before he watched his best friend stand atop a hill over the waters.

“Oi! Careful not to scare the birds!” Ian barked. She simply looked at him, smiled, then raised her head to howl. He joined, and the two sung in unison as birds took to the skies, startled by the noise. Eventually, they stopped, but Ailis simply sat down to look at the sun as it slowly made its way towards the mountains, painting the skies all sorts of reds, purple, and gold.

Ian trotted up to her and sat beside her, playfully nipping her ear before murmuring sweet nothings. She giggled, not unlike a puppy, before standing up and flicking her head back down the hill. “Best find a place to sleep, yeah?” They both smiled and went down the hill, bumping each other and swinging tails this way and that. In the distance, a bird rode the winds that bend the tall grass, and the sun looked ever on.

D'aww,that's a sweet moment :3

X3 That was their life; sweet moments full of cliche scenes. But hey, who cares? :3

Welp, I have no explanation for this except a sketch turned serious. :B Was practicing shading/drawing humans, then decided to do a number of OCs, Ailis being one of them.

This is after her battle with her old mentor, except in the human AU, he would simply be known as "The Lynx". Her scars would've been by his daggers I imagine, but there's no blood because this is a "clean" version.

Enough talking. x.x Enjoy it!

That's really good! I think it's awesome :3 Love to see a bloody version if you ever fancied it :3

Looks awesome

I thought I commented here? Oops. Anyway. Love the art!!! It's so cool!! You have a talent for drawing :3
