queensorchadragon Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 So I finally got a drawing tablet and so have drawn my most epic pet, Auddisea: I can't decide whether to enter her into the Art Gallery or the Beauty Contest... will it get into either? how would it do? Also, I don't know what to put as the background, right now it's just black, and her torso doesn't show up very well. Any ideas?
Angeló Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 it's a very nice drawing ,,, I say submit it to the Art Gallery .. the BC is a popularity contest ,, the most famous pets win , even if others are epically drawn but don't have enough popularity they won't place ... but in the BC u have a good shot at being featured and winning a nice trophy/item , also people can look back at your art ... when is Wocky Day ?? it's best if you submit it then .... as for the BG ,,, make it Green like Meridell .... so ur pet seems to be some sort of Knight :)
Xepha Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Wocky day is in November. You can enter it before that though... they have random themed days as well o:-) For some reason, the pose reminds me of something one of the guard at the magma pool would do. Stop! You don' thave the authorisation to enter! Go away!
queensorchadragon Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Erm. Guess she's not xweetok-ish enough? Even though both have a fur ruff that is missing. Hm. I could add the ruff in, even though the particular customization I have doesn't have one. My auddisea

Luciana Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Please remove that watermark when you submit your drawing to the AG/BC. It really detracts from the picture. Maybe put her name to the side or bottom. If you're going to enter her in the BC, be sure to ask for votes both on TDN and on the neoboards. As Angelo said, the most popular pets win that contest. For the background...Maybe you can draw the magma pool as the background? Or maybe Moltara? It's a very nice picture so I think it works well with the black background, too. :)
queensorchadragon Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Of course I'll remove the watermark. hahaa. I put the watermark on there so that nobody takes it before I enter it, since I worked really hard on it. Anyone who visits the forums can see this image and even though it's unlikely, I just don't want it taken.
Luciana Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Just making sure! It's always sad to see a piece someone obviously worked hard on covered in watermarks. (I see it way too often :() Make sure you share the un-watermarked version after you submit your drawing :3!
Angeló Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 oh it's a Xwee :D sorry but but Wockies and Xwees look a lot alike in my opinion ...
queensorchadragon Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 Yeah, they do. At least you can tell it's a xweetok now that you know >.> do you think if I added the neck ruff it would look more like one?
siniri Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 It's very nice! If you want to make it more "Xweetok" and less "Wocky," I think you could slant the eyes a bit (bring the inner corners down), to give more depth to the face, and make the bottom of the ears attach a little lower. No need to add the neck ruff since it's not actually visible, anyway. If those changes are too difficult, I like it the way it is, even if the species is a little ambiguous (though I think the mohawk gives it away). For the background, I could see her running out of a burning building (or maybe leaping off one) on a dark night -- maybe just add a little purple to make the black of her clothes more visible.
queensorchadragon Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Hmmm, I should slant the eyes, my boyfriend said the same thing. Thanks for the tip! I'm glad I still have everything in layers :D
