    Graw Tries: An Introduction
    I'll post random things that I complete for no reason here. I am currently screwing with calligraphic pen tools in illustrator, but if I feel like wasting hours of my time, I'll make some more videos. Enjoy and feel free to comment or request some things if my lines are somehow to your liking.

    Some Videos from the HIGP Thread

    Aubrey Flak: Almighty Flaxen Space Warrior XVI


    One day I decided to ask @mexicanclownbaby for Aubrey's playerfile. Then I spent a couple hours putting this thing together, and ended up making the single greatest homage to the Golden God of all time.


    'Trinity' St. Ives: Laziest (not dead) Gun in the Space West!


    This was made for @Kaiser Franz 's revival of a certain beloved character who's into westerns or something. Took a long time, because filters.

    Some Character Portraits

    Merrrrry Grissmass!

    [​IMG]
    A picture of my character Griss, all dressed up for the holiday season. She feels jolly on the inside.

    Literally Just Some Floran
    [​IMG]
    It's the cute ones you need to look out for. This is my first attempt at floran, so I wasn't sure what to include as far as mandibles are concerned.

    Starscale the Curious
    [​IMG]
    This is a drawing of the Envoy of Asani, @thestrangepie 's Starscale. This was my first attempt drawing a hylotl, and I totally went into it thinking 'yeah he'll be looking up,' in case you were wondering.

    Vivian Latemme, Shipwright
    [​IMG]
    This is a portrait of @TheAngryMelon 's Vivian.

    Viceroy Omenvreer
    [​IMG]
    This is a drawing of @Omenvreer 's main of the same name. I copied the design from his current avatar because three dimentional stuff is scary, ah!

    Cody Parker's Hobo Hell
    [​IMG]
    This is the greasiest man of All Time. He's played by @Pie4Pigs, and his dead, hobo eyes were beyond me so I sort of did what you see here. Those L caterpillars on his cheeks are my attempt to make him look gaunt.

    More probably to come, let me know what you think and stuff. Thus far repetition and spitting out drawings is are the only remedies I've found for supreme suckage.

    You could totally draw a comic-like fanfiction for existing characters in Antares with that art style.

    A New Logo
    [​IMG]

    I designed this logo last minute for the logo contest that's being voted on right now. I wanted something hand drawn that captured the creative nature of the community, and I liked the idea of a bisecting horizon line, so that's where the Antares came from. The Starbound Roleplay text gives the logo grounding in something resembling normalcy and order. Yeah. Sorry about bad compression, RIP my nice vector paths for some reason, welcome to the world of arbitrary, annoying, alliterative aliasing.

    A Variable Design
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    I had a cool idea when I was fooling around with the subtitle text, which was: hey, colors for subforums would he very neat. These came out looking better than I had hoped they would, and are matched to some colors I eyedroppered from screencaps of the forums. Imagine, if you will, these at the top of each subforum, with text and a particular color denoting which section you're browsing. This could be adapted to IC/OOC differentiation in general, or for differentiating subforum sections (e.g. administration, starnet, factions).

    The design can also be put onto whatever background that's wanted, or even made to look like embossed space metal. I don't know what the parameters would be for actual implementation, but here's an example of how a white version looks atop the current backdrop:

    Some Siara Sterling
    [​IMG]
    This is an attempt to draw @Doctor Frohman 's Siarra Sterling character. This picture of the bartending bird was based on her in-game sprite.

    "Dune," Grungewoman.
    [​IMG]
    This is a picture of @coconut_buttercup 's character known as "Dune." She's an angry, disgusting woman, and you'd better do what she says should you meet her. I tried to do a whole body this time, without any calligraphic silliness or cheatsydoodles. Let me know what you think!
