Description Second piece in my slashed fairytales. My OCs, Kain as the Beast I love those spooky Venetian masks! and Cillian as his beautiful prey. Loved drawing long hair on Cillian who I think will be willing to put down that knife when he realizes how hot the beast behind that mask is Oh and I just love Japanese folklore demons, so I turned the main Beauty in the Beast cursed servants into traditional tsukumogami

Yay! I wonder if it's the long hair or if I'm finally getting better at profiles (I seriously suck at those...no joke)

Really? Cause that's one mighty fine profile. Mmmmmm,nummy! I love how even in profile, his expression is very clear.

Hehe, thanks Profiles have always been my weakness, idk... maybe I should just take an hour and draw a million profiles to figure it out...maybe when I get back to the west coast and have free time *sigh* Glad you like how this one turned out though

Kessira26 In reply to YumeNouveau [2011-11-15 16:01:44 +0000 UTC]

I do, I do! Practice does help. Maybe instead of a million profiles, try drawing two or three closer profile pictures of your characters for the practice?

Hmmmm, I will totally do that. I've never drawn large portraits like you do, but I probably should do that for my OCs just as doodles to get their features correct. Thanks for the advise

This was not at all fueled by a desire to see your pretty bishies more closely...not at all. *waits in hopeful expectation*

Ooooh, totally, my boys need a nice close up, and I needed some inspiration after being so exhausted, so awesome idea

Yay!! *does the happy dance* If you do close up's, that will give me better references to work from to do portraits of them too.

Isn't that a rococo chair? XD Why do I get the feeling like it's gonna start walking?

Cillian should really relax a little. He seems uptight. Maybe Kain can help him relax and unwind.

YumeNouveau In reply to blumarine [2011-11-06 18:44:04 +0000 UTC]

Well I was going for a more art nouveau design to it actually...but I do love rococo chairs...why dont' they look good in normal homes though, I'd have to own a mansion or something so I can get one! I wanted it to look like it might be alive actually

Wahaha, dude, both my guys are so uptight...I think they have too much pent up...frustration XD

I wonder if chair shouldn't move, hahah xD
I like the chaps on Cill's shoes. But his fingers are kind of too long, considering the grip he has on knife and Kain's hands. I miss muscles there.

YumeNouveau In reply to Adi-san [2011-11-05 16:56:24 +0000 UTC]

Haha, ya I know it's an odd angel, but I wanted to keep it true to the original Beauty and the Beast watercolor illustration I was referencing, plus you can see the design on it better than from a more side view And I loooove long fingers...they should be almost as long as one's face anyway. I think I draw better hands on my digital art, cause here I mess up a shadow or line and it looks...not as I wanted, but thanks

Adi-san In reply to YumeNouveau [2011-11-05 18:19:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh nonono. I didn't mean the chair badly. xD I wondered that it should move maybe to keep the Beauty on place, haha.

Finger is usually to nose and hand is usually 3/4 of face while fingersalm length is 1:1. Yay~
Sorry, I can get grumpy from time to time, but I remember liking Clamp and their "wardrobe instead of arms" kind of men xD

YumeNouveau In reply to Adi-san [2011-11-08 19:03:51 +0000 UTC]

Ah I see. Well...I always use my hands for reference...and I guess they are proportionally longer than most or something, but whatevs, maybe that's why I like long slender hands Oh Clamp and their weird gorilla arms...I don't like that style as much as their old style when Mokona was the main artist

Adi-san In reply to YumeNouveau [2011-11-10 12:23:57 +0000 UTC]

It depends on the way you draw. I can pick up flaws. Well, comment means to be a constructive critique, doesn't it?
I just said it! D8>
TB, RGVeda, MKR, X and so on... I don't like their "new style" where everything is loooooong. Where are those pretty eyes and lashes?! DX<

YumeNouveau In reply to Adi-san [2011-11-10 17:50:56 +0000 UTC]

Right right. Thanks as always, I totally appreciate the help (I just like drawing hands/fingers like this I guess ) I have weird preferences, I know XD but feel free to help me out any time (sometimes I draw heads too big or arms too small w/o realizing

I know, I mean, I know Clamp's old style was more 90s, but I think it was much more artistic and beautiful. The new style is too boring. RGVeda, X, and TB were soooo good *sigh* the height of their awesomeness!

Adi-san In reply to YumeNouveau [2011-11-11 11:47:41 +0000 UTC]

I always appreciated constructive critique I am silly like that.
I know that it also comes with preferences. Not all drawings need to be perfect with anatomy, of course we're just people and we create image up to our preferences.


I really miss those big nice eyes. Sparkling and with neat lashes. I always liked MRK because of that. And Angel Sanctuary as well as Alichino (not Clamp, ofc). Chobits was something new, but Chii and all her pretty laced dresses compensated the line for me. Now all characters look weird. I really miss RGVeda style... *wish she had that manga in paperback*
