Azarian Stories, yayyyyy!

This. Took. FOR EVER. O_O

So well, as you know I'm still in Nottingham. In roughly ten days it will already be two months since I'm here. And despite some (very welcome, not to mention absolutely necessary) changes to my thesis plan, things aren't looking exactly bright here. I've got a lot of insecurities and the experiments I'm running in the lab aren't yielding good results. Now this wouldn't be so bad, if only I didn't have a deadline. I'll be back to Italy in November, and I have to be back with enough data to write a thesis. I keep failing to collect anything, which is making me feel quite upset right now.

So a couple days ago I vented my rage on Amazon, and bought a handful of Winsor & Newton watercolour tubes. I've had my eyes on them for a while, and I honestly don't know what made me wait so long to get them. Oh yeah, maybe I know. It was the price.
They are quite expensive and the tubes are incredibly small, I mean, look: 
And still, it's literally all there. They're super concentrated!

Seriously, I tested them on this random picture I drew, and I swear, I literally took ONE drop. And one drop was enough for me to paint the ENTIRE background. I'm not even kidding.

Needless to say, this purchase immediately made me feel a lot better C:
So you can expect some more watercolour works from me!

It was also about time that I drew some more Azaroth, darnit. Azaras are getting all the screen attention, while these guys are left in shadow.
So, say hi to Lezpar, a character I'm currently working on for my wordbuilding. Unlike many of his species, he's part of the Azaroth high society and he's in charge of one of the most influential guilds of bounty hunters in the region of Izruca.
Also, he's a black self (melanistic) Azaroth with leopard ghost markings <3 Because who doesn't love ghost markings? C:

Enjoy!
And also, if you have suggestions on how to use watercolours or how to improve my technique, please let me know! I'm still a newbie at it C:

Winsor & Newton watercolours and Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle watercolour pencils on Fabriano bristol paper.

OH! I love melanistic leopards with ghost spots, I have always wondered what an Azaroth would look like if it had them, and now I know This is brilliant the colours are so strong and stand out. The shine on the fabric he is lying on makes it look expensive and the strong dark crimson all gives an air of royalty and high class society, it looks great very well done!

Hey there, Arven!
Oh, that's no good news. :S Don't really know what to say, so I just wish you more good luck on your project. But I guess you will solve this thesis-crisis anyway. Beside that - how is it like to be there? (: You have fun? I hope so!
Really? One single drop? *jaw drops* Well I guess that's what we call: Wow. Just like this, simply. Wow. Then it was a good trade. ^^ You're getting better at watercolours or at least as far as I can see it with my unqualified eyes. But your skills still amaze me. (:
Aaand yay for Azarian stories! ^^
Have a great day!

Ohh, is the rusty red on his paws part of his markings or is that just a really cool reflection coming from the red blanket/sheet and pillow bottoms? >u<
Also good luck with your experiments! ;o; I hated it in Chemistry when I wouldn't be able to figure out the formula and had to write a low-grade thesis on the "occurrences".

I intended it to be just a reflection, but I didn't realize just how strong the pigment was XD

That is awesome! What if in the sequel (if you decide to make one), tensions begin to grow between Azaroths and Azaras, and Aznor is the only one who can stop it (somehow, idk). It would give you the chance to expand a bit more on the relationships between the species, as well as the rights of humans.

Do you have any tips on how to use watercolor for me?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ARVEN92 In reply to SagwaX89 [2015-09-02 11:44:01 +0000 UTC]

Aww Thank you so much
What I have learned so far, is that watercolours depend enormously on the amount of water you use, and how you use it.
If your brush is nearly dry, your colors will be more concentrated and the brush strokes will be bolder. If the brush is full of water, the colours will be more dilute and the edges of the painted area will be softer

Beautiful. I was wondering how these guys fit into the overall society. Even if they are recognized as mental equals, they look like their paws have limited range of motion which would restrict how they interact with technology.
