mantidor's drawings
oh my.. a thread with my name >_< it feels weird...
So... Ive decided to share my drawings since I feel if I dont do it they might be lost forever. I started drawing this characters since I was little, around 11 years ago actually. By that time anime and manga didnt have the huge influence they have on me now, so the style is just mine, nothing manga-anime related, although it has influenced my most recent drawings, the old ones just came out of nowhere it seems... these first ones are recent ones....anyway I think I suck at scanning! I didnt realized it wasnt as easy as I imagined. most of my drawings were drawn during class (either school or college) so the drawings are usually drawn in notebooks, you can see the stripes (is this the correct word in this case?) in the background unfortunatly. how could I end my whole school and career in record time if I hardly ever payed any atention in class is honestly beyond my comprehension. Now this drawings arent anything spectacular by normal standards, I of course love them with my heart, but Im sure most people wont be very fond of them. oh Im using spoiler tags since for me its better this way (yes, crappy conection T_T) sorry for the inconvinience. Spoiler for angels (group) :
Spoiler for angelix and demonix:
Spoiler for arcanid and its pet:
Ill post more later. any feedback at all is very welcome ^_^ (even the "jeeesus, thats pure crap" ones ) Ive been looking forward to improve them but I find very hard to add things like perspective, or new positions, I suck when I try to make them look from the front for example. INDEX! This has proven to be really weird for me, Ive decided to put the names of the characters in the spoiler tags, what is extrange for me is that although I made up this names a very long time ago, Ive never actually have written them O_o, this sharing of my personal things freaks me out a bit, but as I stated I think is necesary. group 1 ( this post) group 2 retrospective royal winged dragon Last edited by mantidor; 2004-10-01 at 12:46. |

Thanks ^_^, I did enhance the pics a bit since the scanner raw was too bright, so I reduced the brightness and enhanced the contrast. I tried to scan some of my pencil drawings but the scanner cant do it and it turns out as a blank imgage ;_;
here is more Spoiler for angel:
Spoiler for demon and raven:
Spoiler for wingless dragon:
Spoiler for angelix gift:
Spoiler for citizens (random) :

Scan in B/w.... That is so simple it kills me. Thanks for the tip! (spends ages fiddling with levels and colour adjustments on images drawn on schoolbook paper) |

ya you defenitly have your own style, very gothic, medevel fantasy art. yours and mine are somewhat simular 'cept that when i got into anime, I wanted to create a jap-anime/fantasy art type image. but ya you have a nak for drawing dragons <reptiles> and fantasy inspired work.
I relly enjoyed the picture you posted, besides the homework part |

I really love this stuff. Very gothic and edgy nighmarish visions.
Still there is a question that everyone is thinking it, but noone is daring to ask. I will have to put myself forward and ask this question. How the heck does a mantis hold a pen or pencil?!

Spoiler for me drawing:
It took me a lot of time, Ive been drawing since I was eleven, and therefore the first pics werent as good, sOnJoOL sorry for the confussion ^^; those drawings are recent, this ones are the very first ones Spoiler for 11 years ago:
this ones are a bit more recent Spoiler for around 5 to 6 years old, I cant remember >_<:
the recent ones Spoiler for more recent:
Im glad I took out my old folder with most of my drawings, imagine 11 years of drawing them! >_< its really a lot of paper...so Ill pick the more representative ones to post later. Maybe Ill even put them titles to make a neat index *pretends to be one of those cool artist from this forum section*... that should be fun, my drawings havent got titles ever until now ^_^ |

I know its been a while... but dont think Ive forgotten about my thread, Im posting now another drawing, made some time ago. I just noticed its incomplete! but completing a drawing as old as maybe 2 or 3 years seems odd... however I cant stand it. Now I have to complete it... done, I added it something.
sorry for the double post, but its required in order to make a neat index! ^_^ Spoiler for royal:
