Wings of Steel - Chapter 7: WarpChapter seven: Warp

Within the dark, ominous Great Hall of the Pure Ones inner stronghold, where guards roamed, heavily armed with an array of weapons, stood six Tytos of various species on a strip of velvety crimson carpet. The timeworn, lofty caen limestone walls where dimly lit by lambent flames in iron Tyto decor wall torches. Tattered madder dyed silk banners with the Pure Ones sinister motif draped down the blind arcades, swaying gently in the moaning draft, which drifted mournfully through the eerie concentric castle.

In the middle of the hall, Eve stood warily on the left side of Arxcis as he spoke to the others. With her plumage da

Some people where wondering what Eve would look like if she where a human, and so I drew this. I was going to do a full body drawing, but I was stuck on the clothing. I think she would be a member of the SS, and so if people saw me drawing a Nazi I do not think they would be happy with me, especially my foster parents.

This is how I would image Eve (My barn owl OC) to look like if she where a human. I had a lot of trouble drawing this piece, at first she looked to masculine so I gave her more hair. The reason for this was because she has a very hard stare/look, even as a barn owl she has this tormented look that stares into your soul. Then, when I was inking in the background I got some of the ink above her left eyebrow, I took it away with the ‘spot healing’ tool in Photoshop CS5. I first coloured the whole piece in with pro markers, but I felt that wasn’t cutting it, the tones and contrast wasn’t what I wanted. So I went over it with a charcoal and chalk pencils to pick out the contrasting tones.

Programs:
Digital Photo Professional and Photoshop CS5.

Tools:
166mm x 196mm white paper.
Pro makers.
White chalk pencil.
Charcoal pencil.

Size/File:
1.26 MBs, 3060 x 3796 pixels, 350 dpi, JPEG file.

Time:
About 3 hours over 2 days.

Enjoy!

AHHHHH

THAT FACE

WHAT

EVE

You need some srs practice with face drawing

This looks like Lupin the Third

=CommanderEVE Dec 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeah I know. This is what happens after I have drawn owls for one year. I think I can do way better then this. This one I had to bend the looks to make her look what I saw in my head. personally I hate this drawing.

~Dracontar Dec 24, 2012

HURR Goodbye Moles! X33333 She almost looks a tad crosseyed, but I think it's cute. X3

And yeah, she defintiely looks like Nazi type... pretty creepy, knowing that. O-0

Now all she needs is a gun and some owl feed, and she'll be about killin dem guardians pretty darn quick. :I Yeeeaah.

Eve decided to go under the knife and get them removed. I noticed that I had to make her slightly crossed eyed to get the 'evil' stare, like the stare from the main character of the film A Clockwork Orange.

Thats where the blue eyes from from, but I have not told anyone that. I was also going to make her blond, but it looked stupid, so I stuck with jet black hair and blue eyes.

Indeed, the Guardians wouldn't even know. xD

~Dracontar Dec 24, 2012

PFFT LOL then she musta been desperate to get her looks perfect. Next she should prolly shave them manly eyebrows.

Indeed, Malcom Mcdowel was a messed up little dood. X3

LOL yeah, after all Hitler had black hair and he got away with his dumbass "supreme race" bullcrap. Goes to show the lengths of human stupidity, given how most German citizens pretty much took what he said at face value without batting an eyelash. :I (Not that they really had a choice, of course, but how often do we ever hear of historical records that demonstrated contentions within the citizenry over what was going on?)

LOL Nope, they're fucked. :I

=CommanderEVE Dec 24, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Indeed. After all she still looks somewhat like an owl, especially with that haircut.

She would look even stranger without her mainly eyebrows, plus she likes looking like a dyke. xD JK

Indeed he was. But that film is brilliant in my opinion, very controversial for the 70s. But yeah, her whole look was inspired by him. :3

Plus, I heard that he was also a Jew himself. Gawd... I have read too much about the Nazi's I find them interesting, but fucked up at the same time. I mean wow, has to be one of the most evilest parts of history.

~Dracontar Dec 26, 2012

ROFLMAO yeah, she does kinda, actually. X3

PFFT okai then, if that's what she wants.

If all the scenes of stripped women being raped isn't enough of an indicator of that, I dunno what would have been. XDDD

Indeed, one best left as history.

=CommanderEVE Dec 27, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Yeps. And I am kinda not proud of this drawing, me thinks I could have done a lot better.

Indeed, she is a strange owl.
