myu Posted March 17, 2012 Author Share Posted March 17, 2012 asgdfh No, she's not supposed to be. I was kind of playing off the myth of Lethe with that picture. I'll explain it more when it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sroberson Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Myu, I haven't been able to go through this entire thread and see all the work you have posted but I am impressed by every bit of it that I have seen I wish I had the patience to learn to draw so well. Keep up the awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala1n-J Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hey, that Krystal picture is really impressive! I like that "magic" feel you've given to the water. There's one thing however : I don't know if that was your intention to make the water luminous, but if that's the case, it would have been great to emphazise this feeling. What I mean is that, for example on the rock stairs, make the parts touching water brighter and the steps (where Krystal stands) darker. Maybe there's another light source somewhere in the picture, but the way I see it there's only one source of light (the magic water). You could also play a bit more on saturated colors to bring some energy to the "magic" feel, without being in the 80's/90's. The transition between the trickle of water and its base is perhaps too raw and not smooth enough. Anyways, great drawing as always! Keep it up!

I was trying to figure out why the lighting didn't look exactly as I'd wanted, and I think you've found out why. Thank you The changes will have to wait a while, as I'm in Florida right now and without a tablet. But thanks again for taking the time to critique it :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myu Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Okay. Back at my own desk and was able to go back over that Krystal picture. I have to say, even if it's quite a bit darker now, it has much more of a mood. Thank you so much for the critique. The picture was really bothering me before and I seriously couldn't figure out why. Just goes to show that you always need a few more pairs of eyes :> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroberson Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Whoa...just ...whoa... Seriously jealous right about now. Now, if only Nintendo could put that much feeling behind Krystal's character in the games...all problems solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaos_Leader Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 EDIT!: It's titled "Lethe," by the way, on the deviantart page. I thought I might bring it up, or I'll confuse people, Sorry. Should I be, like, worried that I used the concept of Lethe already? Also in a Star Fox context? "In the ancient myths, Lethe was the name of a river, one of five that flow though the underworld where the spirits of the dead go. The other four rivers are: Styx, the river of hate, Acheron, the river of pain, Cocytus, the river of anguish, and Phlegethon, the river of fire. These other four are unstable concepts, unpredictable, uncontrollable. No, I prefer Lethe. In its original language, Lethe means 'oblivion', 'forgetfulness' or 'concealment'. Those who drank from this river would experience a state of utter forgetfulness, a complete amnesia." -Serge Noire, "Star Fox: Legacy" But here, I think I can glean meaning from this. To step into the waters of Lethe is to forget. If we want to dive into Krystal's backstory, she lost her home, an entire world destroyed, and everyone she'd ever known, dead. Such a traumatic event is going to leave mental and emotional scars which will never heal. How relieving would it be if there were a way to make the pain go away, to erase it, to forget it. But, clearly there's more going on here. I'm going to offer up one of the possible interpretations swirling around here in my strange head: our lady has made the decision to forget, and cast the staff into the river (more symbolic than practical, but hey: symbolic license), however, the river gives the staff back. In essence: "this is something not even Lethe will let you forget." sending her off with more than a small touch of destiny. Anyway, that's what I thought of when I looked at this picture and turn on the "Artsy" switch in my head. I hope you didn't mind too much. (This is a duplicate of a post I made on DA on this picture, just in case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
