Re: Kalon's Portrait Studio

by **Gadreille** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 4:36 pm

Loki, I made Silvone's and my own, and Weiss made Kalon's.

Kalon, if you don't want to/can't make it, I'd be happy to have a go at it.

The only reason why I don't jump on it now is because I don't know if I have the backgrounds/fonts that you (Loki) are talking about.

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 6:31 pm

It might be a good idea, if you'd like to have a go at it, Ryona. The round handprint symbol would be perfect for the shields you have, and the thorny plants seem to fit. If you make a red, stony background, I think it may work quite well. ^^ I kinda like doing blood, but death and skulls... not so much.

You could use the same font you use on everybodies, and use the quote he had before:

"What is the color of night?"

"Sanguine, my Brother."

I'm sure it'd look awesome. ^^
Also, if you're looking for more fonts, I can give you the names of some of my favorites. I've been downloading several sweet fonts recently. xD

Ryona took care of the signature for me, so you can take me off of your to do list.

Thank you again for the avatar and thank you Ryona for the sig.

Very Happy

Whoaaa, that fits well! Great job, Ryona! cheers

Exactly what I was thinking. They correspond so well that it's hard to tell that they had different makers.

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 6:59 pm

oooooooooh.... Surprised

This... could be the beginning of a beautiful partnership! Twisted Evil

Actually we sorta have been doing it already. Cooool! Cool

xD

by **Gadreille** on Mon Feb 01, 2010 10:51 pm

I'm just glad to be of service *bow*

by IRLGoat on Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:51 am

I'm unsure exactly how to go about ordering something, so I'll just put it in here. :3
It's really great that you're doing this! I'm impressed!
Do I have to choose a base?

Bhuta Huile

Spoiler:: Bhuta has an otherworldly air around her, as if she is barely of the Material Plane. Her body is long and delicate; standing at 5'2" and weighting in at approximately 115lbs, she seems almost faerie-like. Her torso is long and her breasts average. Her complexion is tanned from her enjoyment of the sun. Bhu's natural red hair is often pulled to the right in a side-ponytail, tumbling to her elbow. Her features are small and pixie-like; dark eyebrows, round light mauve eyes, a pronounced, yet feminine nose and thin, curled lips. She has several well-placed beauty marks along the left side of her face and under her left eye. Faint markings of what look like scarification cover Bhu's arms, neck, chest and back. Weaving patterns that show her connection to the Spirit Plane.

The fiery girl favors noisy jewelry; bangles, copious sets of earrings, anklets and necklaces. She wears a leather tight-fit strapless corset-of-sorts with ornate designs in gold and silver. She hides her tight leather pants under folds of countless scarves tied or strapped around her waist. Hiding amongst them are pouches and perhaps a dagger or two. Although she prefers not to wear shoes, Bhu carries a pair of plain leather shoes for more rough terrain. A deep cream cloak with chocolate brown designs flows down over her shoulders and down a tad passed her knees. The clasp is gold with a shining pearl accent.

Not to be a butt...but you just described my avatar to the key save for the hair style.

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:07 am

Sighlent, your character has an hourglass figure. That doesn't describe an average bust. An hourglass is when the waist is like... ten inches smaller than the hips and breasts. She's also not tan if you look to Kalon's rendition.

To get an hourglass figure you ideally should already be starting with a hip to ratio where your waist is at least ten inches smaller than your hips (eg: waist 28-hips 39 or waist 24 and hips 34 or 31 waist and 46 hips).

~ Taken from here

So yeah... The only thing that's really the same are the height, hair colour, and eye colour.

by IRLGoat on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:08 am

And I can change those, if it's really an issue.

by Sighlent on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:09 am

Yeah my bad.

by IRLGoat on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:21 am

Sighlent, I edited her for you.
The only trait they share is the fact their hair is red.
You're welcome.

by Sighlent on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:24 am

"You're" But thank you! Although I didn't ask.

I'm really not trying to start anything I just thought I should let you know that this is actually incorrect. I have an hour glass figure Kathryn and by that I have not broad but long, wide shoulder blades an average or below bust, tiny waist, and then wide hips.

by IRLGoat on Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:44 am

Hourglass figure has little to do with your shoulders and everything to do with your bust, waist and hips. In my case, I would be the 'banana' girl in the second reference. Small bust, average waist and average hips. Hourglass is much more sexy and voluptuous. :3

I'm a pear... Sad

by Sighlent on Thu Feb 04, 2010 12:34 pm

Either way it still doesn't have to do entirely with your breasts. Because I have small boobs and still have that figure because despite having no breasts the general area around my rib cage (if that makes sense) is wider.

by **Bird of Hermes** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:35 pm

I have broad shoulders and plump hips.

...

Kalon is probably face-palming now that we have turned his thread into a discussion about female body types.

by Guest on Thu Feb 04, 2010 4:02 pm

"Enough"

Dark fire erupts from the air around the people talking. A malevolent presences fills the room and from it emerges something dark and terrible. Baleful yellow eyes gleam from beneath it's hood and as it raises a hand the darkness gathers around it.

"Enough of this. Begone or face my wrath"

It's every guy's dream to have their thread turned into a discussion over female body types... I think...

It would certainly explain why he hasn't returned yet, he's just waiting to see how far this conversation will go.

Boobies. Dance

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 4:32 pm

omg you guys. xD

I prefer a thin-to-svelte body type for females, personally. ^^

by **Dax** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:08 pm

Lol.

Well, that was interesting...

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:10 pm

Um... Having a "wider" ribcage/shoulder thing is the exact same thing as it being broad. Broad doesn't mean you're fat or have big bones. It only means the area is wide. I just thought you should know that, so you don't have to try to word the same thing differently to make it seem more appealing.

Goat's right about the shoulders not being in the equation. You may be measuring too high. When you measure your bust, you're supposed to measure just below the nipple itself ((so it sort of overlaps the bottom of the areola)). My best friend is a seamstress, and I had to get my exact measurements for my Elf dress, so yeah. I don't know about other people, but when measured properly, the measuring tape is just below my shoulder blades. You're not supposed to raise the tape higher in the back, either.

I'm not saying that an hourglass figure has to mean huge breasts. It's just less likely that someone is an hourglass just because of their broad ribcage.

Anyway, as far as body types go, I'm a rectangle in the first, and a banana in the second. I mean, I'm still a woman, so I have a bit of curve, by my hips or only a little bigger than my bust. My best friend is a pear.

Kalon, of course you prefer lithe forms. Elves are you fetish. XD

by **Bird of Hermes** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:13 pm

Having a "wider" ribcage/shoulder thing is the exact same thing as it being broad.

That is what I mean. I also like the word "plump". Makes me think of turkeys.

Anyway, back to Kalon and his portraits.

by **Gadreille** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:19 pm

I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny...

OK so I'm stuck with it, might as well like it.

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 6:23 pm

Hermes, I was referring to Sighlent saying her shoulders weren't "broad" but "wide." Same thing.

Ryona, my best friend a pear, too, but hers is far more extreme than yours. If she had just six more inches to her bust, she would be an hourglass. That's how much of a pear she is. XD

Anyway, yes... Perhaps this discussion has allowed Kalon to learn more about the female form. Perhaps it will help him with his art?

by IRLGoat on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:11 pm

Haha! Look at what we've started!

I'm just a tiny girl all 'round.
Lithe is the right word I'm trying to find, probably!
Pear is such a good shape. Big hips show a woman's ability to bare children!
And they're hot. And impressive! My hips are larger in comparison to the rest of me... which isn't all the big.

I'm excited to get my portrait!
I must wait patiently. :3

by **Kalon Ordona II** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 9:46 pm

What, you guys haven't seen some of the females I've drawn already? Very Happy

by **Kathryn Lacey** on Thu Feb 04, 2010 10:10 pm

Great job on the faerie with the dew drops! It's my favorite! =3
