I'm no da Vinci, but... - Page 4 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Kath · 10-01-2005, 04:17 PM

Ka that picture is amazing! I'm not surprised Encai was so pleased with it.

the guy who be short · 10-02-2005, 03:35 AM

Exactly how I imagine Enca... That's just cool. I wonder if she looks at all like we both imagine her. In any case, superb drawing skills.

According to Fea, there should be green in there somewhere, but my computer has decided to rebel against the notions of green and red. It still looks wonderful, and I love the reflection on her skin. I'll have to view it again from a school colour, which is rather more lenient about allowing me to view colours.

Oddwen · 10-02-2005, 03:46 PM

Sorry if it was a secret, KA. I think you mentioned it to Enca on the BD'ers Picture Page and that's where I first heard about it...in fact, you might have mentioned it on this thread. Hey, you did! Anyway, sorry for ruining your life and all.

Back on topic - very great pic KA.

And even more back on topic: I drew this last night. It's a better Saucie than my previous. I was going to have a crowd of off-topic 'Downers beneath him, but I couldn't think of any faces.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-02-2005, 06:35 PM

Oddy, that amuses me more than it probably should.

Oddwen · 10-02-2005, 07:19 PM

Actually, half of the reason I didn't add more 'Downers was that I spent half an hour not-finding the right Photoshop effect for you, Fea.

Glirdan · 10-02-2005, 08:42 PM

Awsome Oddy!! I love that because it's true!!!!

Don't be so modest Oddwen, you can put me in there. We all know how late I come into the chat-squirrel conversation, and end up with all my precious paint brushes snapped in two by the furry of the pan-man. None the less, it does help get the thread along.

Wonderful graphics though, I admire artists who can work wonders with the computer... It's much better, because it gives SpM a more angle of fear and threat. Like those staues of Zeus with thunderbolts from the Hellenistic Period.

Yes, you are right that I did give some away... I couldn't help it. I ran into a creative slump and my brother ate the last poppy seed muffin in the house. I need my muffins.

The Only Real Estel · 10-05-2005, 09:03 PM

Can't access deviantart right now as I've said once or twice before, but given Enca's talent I'm sure it's awesome.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-05-2005, 09:26 PM

Feanor of the Peredhil · 10-05-2005, 09:56 PM

Not only do I love it, but I just explained it to my friend who definately didn't get it, and even after explaining, I still find it totally hilarious. Hehe. Now I'll take a picture of it... that made it well worth killing off your villagers, Cai.

You know, to encapture the heartless grin of an Elrond is quiet difficult. You have shown more to us than it's mere paper frame, but allowed us to be taken aback by it's influencial mind.

I enjoy it very much so

Oh, hey! Thanks for posting that for me Shortie. I came on here to do it, and lo and behold! It's already been done! Keep in mind I have no talent whatsoever at editing pictures.

The Only Real Estel · 04-04-2006, 10:49 AM

Well...I finished up a "black sharpie drawing" I was doing awhile ago of the BDers (as they're represented on here at least) who participated in the original WW game.

But since my primary go-between (deviantart) is mostly unaccessible to me at the moment, I don't know whether I should just put the pictures of it up here (Crazy Caption style

) or wait until I get access to deviantart.

Any ideas?

Glirdan · 04-04-2006, 09:05 PM

Ooo!! Even though I wasn't part of that game, it'd still be interesting to see. Post it!!

Oddwen · 04-05-2006, 10:06 AM

Please do post it...if you're desperate for hosting though, there's always photobucket.

Formendacil · 04-05-2006, 01:43 PM

If you're waiting to get a critical mass of waiting Barrow-Downers before you post...

You may as well add my name to the list. I'm a Gollum for anything Werewolf...

The Only Real Estel · 04-05-2006, 04:02 PM

No, no, no critical mass necessary.

I was just trying a couple of different ways to get it up here (unsuccesfully). You all have Hookbill to thank for getting it up on photobucket (unaccesible to me) and sending me a link.

Here it is, just regular ol' black sharpie

(I do have other pictures taken of just two or three BDers at a time...so it's closer, but I obvious can't put them up):

What do you think? :^\

Oddwen is really, really scary! But TORE this is incredible, oh to be able to draw! If you do have time please do the other games!

Kuruharan · 04-05-2006, 04:59 PM

Seeing as how it commemorates my one and only triumph, I can only approve.

Oddwen · 04-05-2006, 05:14 PM

That is awesome. I love the font you used for the title - and you do Tom Servo great justice.

Although...Saucie looks slightly like the head elf from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

"You want to be a Werewolf!? Herrrbieeeeeee!"

But yes, that's way way cool TorE.

Glirdan · 04-05-2006, 07:46 PM

Wow....simply amazing...I'm flabbergasted but so...so....jealous would be the appropriate term here...Wow...

Actually that was the original plan but it took longer than I thought - I didn't take into account that when you get about halfway through everything takes 3xs as long because you don't want to mess up and have to do everyone over again. I might go on with them but...I haven't decided yet. At any rate I know I'll never catch up to the games at the rate they're going!

Haha! Yeah, Sauce turned out rather...unlike his [old] avatar. I was working off of a zoomed up (ie: slightly blurry) image from Crombie's awesome Periodic Table & didn't ask Sauce if he had a larger image until I had to do his garb. Then I realized how off some of the rest of the details were.

Quote:

Mormegil was a pain!! I was trying to do everybody with as little shading/detail as possible (because with a sharpie it's practically either no line or a line, not much in between) but with him that was impossible. Darn you Morm!!!

On a side note: I was thinking about making everyone black & white except do the moderator of the game (in this case, BW) in color. Ran out of space in this one, but what does everybody think about adding "Moderator: The Barrow-Wight" to the left over the 'Tol-In -Gaurhoth' & "Werewolves Win!" to the right over the 'Isle of Werewolves?'
