Nexus Forums _ Nexus Photo Album _ Garr's Art!

Posted by: Garr Apr 12 2007, 08:42 PM

Hello! laugh.gif

I've been lurking in this forum for a while, so I might as well introduce myself. I've played Nexus for a while as a warrior. I'm that guy who people often mistake as a rogue because of the Hanfu garb. My registration expired yesterday, and I have finals soon. Therefore I think it's best to NOT renew til finals are over. In the meantime, I browse Nexusforums, and I just love the art shown here. <3

I notice that there are just so many characters that are iconic, be it in their appearance, personality or both...

I want to try drawing them, so here goes nothing. First up is Winder. I hope it's not against Barbarian law to draw them or anything.
IPB Image

We all know him as that white-haired elder with the dread platemail and dry wit. First thing that came to my mind is that he shouldn't be pretty (sorry, Mhul), but battle-scarred and tough. I improvised a bit on the platemail, but haven't designed his greaves (feet armor). I'll do his fullbody pic soon...

Please give feedback! I will appreciate it. Except, uh, coloring. I have very little experience in that ( ._.)

The artwork is great, if only Winder could live up to his drawing! (Sorry had to pick on Winder)

What medium are you using? Looks almost like sharpie or pen or I'm completely blind.

Very realistic, a different spin on the nexus chars.

Very good job!

Oh wow, very awesome. I'm sure Winder will squeal (in an ever-so-manly way of course) when he sees this!

Posted by: Corath Apr 13 2007, 11:21 AM

Very nice! As much as I like the cartoon-ey stuff, this is a nice version too. biggrin.gif

I sketch using pencil, then I scan and work over it using a graphic tablet on a different layer on Photoshop. So it's basically digital. I use the brush tool, so it does look sort of like a Sharpie biggrin.gif
It takes time, but it's clean and smudge-free, unlike my pencil drawings...

"I squee here."
Oh Winder, more witty remarks and less mug impersonation, please sad.gif

Very nice work. If I was still working on Stat Addict i'd be begging you for an artistic rendering. You do a good job of catching attitude in your drawing.

Posted by: Winder Apr 15 2007, 01:00 PM

I am impressed! I have a more cartoony version of myself drawn by Killeh and I'll post that here for all to see.

The one thing I would say though, is that the real Winder has legs and doesn't float in the air from his armor! smile.gif Which you realize yourself.

But in the great words of mug: "i smile here."

IPB Image

When this picture was drawn, it was back when I was in black platemail and black hair (like 18 months ago?)

Here is all the other Winder stuff:

Look how happy Hooje is! (And yes, it is unbelievably Photoshopped)

Other postcard shows Barbarian circle, which I am not going to reveal unless it wins the contest.

Oh, and I almost forgot about this, I made it for Darkbrood:

Lies.
I saw you floating around with your armor in Kugnae the other day.

Posted by: PikuDamaru Apr 15 2007, 10:52 PM

The drawing is great but that attitude seems to reflect Crumble way more than Winder.

Maybe we just see Winder in a different way.

I see him with a huge smile on his face 24/7, with puffy cheeks.

*Shrug*

Crumble lacks my intensity. That "smile" is the last thing you see before you die.

No more herb pipes for you.

As for the art, I love it.
It's a nice change from the usual anime style we see around here (not that there's anything wrong with it) and look forward to seeing more of your drawings of iconic people.
*tries to look as iconic as possible*

Posted by: DarkDragon Apr 16 2007, 03:15 PM

Oh, I just realized something about the very shmexy picture that you drew Garr.

It looks similar to Arthas in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. tongue.gif

Just bigger feet! Winder has dainty feet. It allows him get around and smite faster while making less noise tongue.gif

Posted by: Dannicus Apr 18 2007, 06:25 PM

That is NOT Winder. He's neither TOWNIE~!'ing you as you read the boards nor sticking his tongue out at you.

Sorry that pic just look so OOC, it actually makes him look tough and something to be afraid of LOL.

I only 'quit trying' after years of rejection and frustration. Dont confuse my recent actions with my actions in the past. Plus, this isnt really the place to discuss this sort of thing. You wanna talk about this, you know how to get ahold of me.

But still, very well done Garr. You actually make Winder look like he should be taken seriously.

You know I try not to blow peoples ego up whenever they post artwork, because they all know they're good -- but you're like really, really good.

I bet you could get Kru to feature your artwork on the NexusTK site, you should definitely ask them about it. Whenever I get some NTK money, if you're willing, I'd pay for a drawing if you ever got bored one day.

Gerdi is right. You should show mug some of your work, maybe he'll ask you to draw some stuff. You are really talented and it would be cool to see some nexus creatures or events from an artists perspective. Well done.

Posted by: Gerdi Mar 16 2009, 02:06 AM



From start to finish, about how long does it take for you to complete a drawing?

Posted by: Gilmore Mar 16 2009, 08:13 AM

Very nice, you have a great skill! biggrin.gif

Posted by: Garr Mar 16 2009, 03:57 PM

Sorry for the late reply, been busy (irl and in Nexus; getting sa), but thanks guys!

I dunno about going to mug/kru about the artwork though, I'm really bad with deadlines and stuff =P

gerdi: I take like 2 hour-ish to complete a lineart (black and white). Since I haven't colored a lot, coloring usually takes another 2-3 hours (lame), not to mention if I have to draw a background (also lame).
oh and thanks for the help last night with Nngh'Zan's council, hehe

Wow, it's been more than a year since I had the urge to draw Nexus characters... but I haven't played in forever either.

Anyway, I wanted to draw a female Rogue, and the first one to come in mind is Yamiko's character model. I don't think she plays anymore though.

I think it would bother most people that these ladies would walk around carrying big knives/swords. But I find it sexy biggrin.gif

My take on a Blood. The backwards hand guard on the original doesn't make any sense :\

Posted by: Paree Aug 21 2010, 01:25 PM

Wow! love your art.

yamiko does still play though.
you should show her the picture. smile.gif
