Re: Kalon's Portrait Studio

[Bird of Hermes]

Can you make the jacket have sleeves? I love the color.

[Kalon Ordona II]

do you want to be able to see the hand wraps at all, or should I just make sleeves that go to the bottom of the portrait?

I could do a sort of diagonal thingy that does both, if that makes sense.

[Bird of Hermes]

Just make it go all the way down.

[Loki]

Here's the much-better version of Loki's!



Thanks for suggesting the improvements! I did it on my other monitor with higher contrast and, in addition to the suggested changes, was able to really clean up the image.

Hope you like it. ^^

Do you think you can make a banner for this character so that I can use it to head his posts?

Name: M'Raverr
Title: High Templer

[Kalon Ordona II]

No problem; I'll put it up in the character icons thread momentarily.

[Fluesopp]

Ah, ok. Um, should his skin in the portrait be purple, like in the image?

Yes it should. Pink-purple-ish.

[Dax]

Kalon, my friend, I have a favor to ask of you! A favor for those wonderful avatars of yours!

I must have a portrait for a regiment commander in the Sretin divison of the Vatiennien army. Just a man who looks somewhat official although not too much would be great. Maybe a beard. xD Nothing too fancy. A smoothe looking silver armor with a blue cape. I guess the armor would be somewhat elven looking, but not too much. Vatienne armor is not big or bulky.

Dax no feel like making full sentences. xD

Tell me what you can do!

[Gadreille]

If anyone wants their requests passed off to me, let me know. I am a bit limited on custom work, but if you request is relatively simple I can manage well enough.

The plus side to my work is, while its less customable, I pretty much get it done super fast. So yea

[Dax]

Ryona, think you can do my request?

[Gadreille]

Yes. I will work on it later tonight. Do you have a preference on eye color, hair color?

[Eternity]

Kalon, first avatar request is for my Apahov female Amala.



This is the waist up picture of a portrait I did, so I hope that helps. I can always get you the full body version, and I'm working on a portrait of Zafir for you to work off of as well.

[Dax]

Whatever you want for his hair and eye colour, it has no importance to me.

[Gadreille]

I took care of Dax's. See? I am quick

[Digital Muse]

@Ryona - If you want to have a shot at the twins from Sephiris, that'd be fantastic too

[Gadreille]

Hey Digi, I started yours and then my computer crashed...o.o

I will give it another go, as long as my computer holds up I should be able to finish it this weekend!

[Digital Muse]

Oh no! Good luck, my friend.

[Gadreille]

What do you think of Tuula? If you like him, I'll work on the next one.

[Digital Muse]

Think more Viking, Ryona. Long hair, pale brows and such. The clothes are good. Not sure about the head band though. His size and heft are very good. You needn't include the bearded ax if you don't wish since the Twins will always be pictured together.

She will be of a finer build, but nearly as tall with longer hair. I see her in more of a simple chemise and open-armed surcoat.

[Gadreille]

Alright, I'll keep working on him. Not sure if I can find what you are looking for, though. Remember I don't really draw the items, that is more of Kalon's expertise.

[Dax]

I need another request! This time I need the protrait for Le Maitre Generale de l'Armee Imperiale de Vatienne! Long titles are awesome!

I need someone who looks menacing, yet respectable with a golden cape. He'd have preferably brownish or blondish hair and grey eyes. Preferably no helmet, not too bulky but still muscular and he must have a slim, official looking grey suit of armor that isn't too massive and slightly ornamented/decorated (do what you can on that, it would just be an extra touch). Basically, I want him to look pretty badass for the top leader in Vatienne's military. xD

I know I am picky, just tell me what you can do, Kalon my friend.

[Kalon Ordona II]

Are all of these going to be player characters, Dax? :/

I've finished yours, Hermes! Sorry about the wait; I finished it first thing after getting back from the convention.

[Bird of Hermes]

Can you make the sleeves more like the ones in the picture? (You can just use it like in the picture really. You don't have to change so much.)

[Kalon Ordona II]

Eh? The guys's jacket in the picture doesn't have sleeves. :/
*checks*

Ohh, you thought the sleeves of his tunic belonged to the vest/jacket/thing.

Hmm.
Well, the problem is, I just made your character's vest/jacket/thing from scratch, in the same sort of style. Also, the guy's arms are different from your character, because yours has the purple sleeve on it, and the white sleeve is narrower than the purple one.

Your character is female, and in a slightly different pose, plus you wanted the jacket open, so there wasn't really the option to use the exact clothing the guy had.

I can probably come up with some sort of solution, though.
Maybe I can put the guy's arms over these green sleeves, then make duplicate the green sleeves, make a layer mask, and cut them open to show the sleeve you wanted beneath. I could even make it purple, since it's under the green jacket.

Or I suppose I could just cut open the green sleeve halfway down, to match the style.

Or I could make a whole new sleeve and try to work around the purple sleeve that'll show behind it. Maybe try to paint in the gray feathers somehow...

Which solution sounds most like what you want?

[Dax]

Yes, yes I do, Kalon. There something wrong with having two side characters? xD

The one for the Maitre Generale bla bla bla is not really going played all that much, but I felt like having an Icon would be cool and maybe fun to make, I don't know.

So, whaddya say?

[Bird of Hermes]

I just had an idea that might make this less complicated. Just use the jacket as is and make that inner collar part and 'v' purple. Then all you would need to do is remove the yellow color and put her head and wings in place. (Is that easier? Sorry for making this so confusing and complicated.)

[Kalon Ordona II]

You forgot breasts. That's what makes it hard.
And unfortunately, adding the head and wings to that body isn't as easy as it sounds.

Maybe I'll have a look in FEPlanet.net.

[Bird of Hermes]

You forgot breasts. That's what makes it hard.

Maybe the Ionairus have really tiny breasts... better for flight. >_<

[Kalon Ordona II]

Whew! I think I did it! Thank heaven for layers.
Took a while too. Lots and lots of touch-up.

But WORTH IT! I know I'm done, now, because I can't stop looking at her! ^^

*FANFARE*

[Bird of Hermes]

I love-love-love the sleeves. <3

Could you slim down the left (>) gray part a bit to look more like the right?

Otherwise, I love it! Oh, and let me go find you a background so I can start using it.
