I love the poses, very floaty and majestic.

I'm glad you do =^-^=

Holy Shit!! That robo roo is fucking amazing!!!

You obviously don't know who/what Antar is. O.o I suggest taking a saunter through the rest of his gallery.

I realized that after I posted the comment. Looking now

Heh, Snow had it pointed out there X3

All these great submissions in my box tonight - and this is the icing on the cake!

Mrew =^-^= thank you

Its still amazing how well the characters do fit in with the background. I really love how much your coloring is getting better. seriously that is absolutely amazing x.x

Thanks a lot :3

Love your space suite desing especially the feet :)

Thanks =^-^=

Killer cool.

Thanks :3

Yer welcome.

This is actually great pose/perspective work, imo. I honestly didn't know you had it in you to do something like this, even if it is a bit odd and totally not to my taste. (I usually dislike anything sci-fi...though there have been exceptions)

Quick note on one particular element. I'm sure that you totally cheated to do it, but I want to applaud you on making the background show through her wings so perfectly. It really does look like the light is passing through them, which shows that you put some thought into it. It's just a shame that I'm pretty sure you used layers and transparency properties to achieve it. The thought counts, but using transparency isn't a skill. *chuckles*

How may I understand your comment from before?

And about the "cheating". In this case I didn't actually touch layer transparency, just worked on a second layer on top. I get what you mean, but trust me, I would have the skill to work it out even without layers. The only reason why I actually have the skills to work in digital as I do is because I originally came from the traditional side (and still am working in it at times, oil paints and pencils :3 )

I just figured you took a short-cut, because you're using digital media and there not much reason not to. I may not have believed that you really created that effect manually, but I didn't really question whether you could. Quite honestly, if I had the talent to do it, I wouldn't, because it's really wasted effort, when the same thing could be achieved by cheating. Traditional artists cheat, too, and while it may not be as easy to do, and it may not allow them to completely skip steps like digital media does...the result is the same. It's a way for an artist to put less work into something than people might think they did while keeping the end result the same. Kind of like using a wallpaper background (kudos on fessing up to that up-front...lesser folks might take the credit).

In any case, I brought it up because it's the final result that really does matter, in the end. If you did it by hand, then I'm a bit impressed, yeah, but really...no one but would've ever known that if you hadn't told us. I'd say use transparency next time and save yourself the work. If you can do it for real, then great, but I'm one guy in a thousand who might actually care about that...most people don't appreciate process.

Oh, I did create this with another layer, no doubt. I love open Canvas for it's simplicity for work with transparency, so if I ever do need something, I can add it in there...I was just saying that I "could" have done it by just, well...doing it on one layer, which is what I used to do like...about half a year or so back, when I was still getting into the swing of things with oC (mind you, I had been using oC for past a year before that, so I don't know if that'd count as gettin ginto the swing of things, but whatever)

But yeah, hey, cool for paying attention to things like that, few people ever do ^^

Just amazing. *purr* :X)

Thanks =^-^=

Serious quality skills.

Someone begs to differ X3 but thanks ^^

Just a point though. That suit must have some seriously compressed air tanks in it. But what the hell.

Must be hell to get one's tail into that suit.

It's rather uncomfortable, yes, but there's functions of the suit that make it a little more bareable than it would be if it were plain

Okey how did he get OUT there..is that armor even space tested xD

Ships do have airlocks for space walking or other purposes you know :b

shweat

Thank you ^^

You use photoshop correct?

Nope, open Canvas 1.1 72b

You know I really had to say that the fact you reply to so many people is a very admirable quality you dont really see much of in other artists....

I suppose so...I just don't see why I can't use some of my time to be social with my fans and people who take the time to comment on my work (although I will sometimes just jump over a "oh, great" comment, because there's 20 - 30 others that say exactly the same or a variation of it XD)

LOL at Antar's codpiece!

Those translucent, shiney-tipped blue wings are awesome.

XD Why so?

And yeah, I love the idea of energy-wings o.o

I've always liked how you've done mechanical items, they just seem like they would really work if they were to be made.

XD I wish they did

Its so nice... purrfect :3

Thanks =^-^=

Your welcome :3

That is the advantage of having a sealed armored battle suit.

Indeed, so it is ^^

nice
if i poke his hears do they ring metal-like in his head?

XD Mebbe...

Fantasy and sci-fi...together....

=^-^=

fukin nice man, as always.

Thank you =^-^=

"I'm Batman.... and i can breath in space."

looks good, nice choice of background too.

XD Don't quite get the reference, but thanks XD

comic reference :p

just the whole space walking theme.

Wow nice suit for space walks. I see Starlight is a bit more comfortable with huge space. Ah I was just about to congratulate for the background to, but than I just say you picked a good wallpaper.

Yah...and Starling is a hybrid with a space-based creature, so she feels very much at home there :3

o.0 I immediatly got half a dozen stories coming into my mind looking at that pic... Mysterious lifeforms, impossible encounters, possibly not even from our own universe but from a dark, magical side...
Fantastic. And I know you could have done the background yourself if you wanted too, it would have been far better ;D

I suppose I could have, but the wallpaper was just so awesome and I was so lazy X3

Thanks Asthyx =^-^= mind telling me one of your stories?

Oh, it's quite fuzzy : many ideas are travelling as I see such pics. I'm thinking about Lovecraft and I see an old entity from another plane, what will the encounter be like ? Is the guy in the suit surprised, or does he know what he is facing, and how ? I'm thinking about Dan Simmons (Hyperion), and I see two creatures of the same species, but long ago separated and one has evolved in vacuum, and the two probably don't even know they are related... I'm thinking about just a magic moment, but the space creature will soon vanish, and will never been seen again. The guy in the suit will probably keep this story for himself, for he would be considered insane if he tells that to anybody. Or maybe the creature will oneday come back to him in a totally different situation, what will happen during that second meeting ? And I could go on again and again, every time I look at it something new comes to my mind, with hundreds of development possible...

You see, that's how works my mind, and that's why your works ALWAYS appeal me, why I'm so found of the atmospheres you are able to depict. Your pics are opened, at the same time they are detailed enough to create a whole world around the characters, but taken in the middle of an event so it's still up to the watcher to imagine what happened before and after, what the world of those characters look like. :) :)

Hehe, well, I'm glad I'm able to draw you into the picture, give you a little something to think about :3

Always, that's the magic of your style...

Whoa, excellent job. I like the little details you put into this one, like the blue light coming from starling's fingertips.

Hehe =^-^= you know I like glowies

Absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous.

Damn they got some big, weird looking flies in them space :|

Hehe... :D
Good job on Antahars position, it gives a real "floating" feeling!

Thanks =^-^= Yay for zero G

Those suits must be hard to get on, but once you're out there the view must be beautiful. The look in between them, even in space is just so amazing, it's like their out on their own version of a romantic stroll.

Well...things work a little differently when you have a girlfriend who's literally from space X3

It contracts around the body. It's not like a neopren glove that you force yourself into X3

I do love your design for the armour, though I feel that I have to ask, haven't seen anyone else mention it. But is his tail uncovered? In previous pics it would seem that the armour doesn't cover the tail, my main reason for thinking this is that the armour is white (ish) but the tail is black, so if it were covered by the suit then it'd look the same colour. Wouldn't want that pretty long tail to get cold now :P

Always love the work though, and how you've designed the species you use in your art.

No, no, it's covered alright :3 glad you enjoy it all though =^-^=
