Iron Avatarist: Goodness Sake

[Zefir]

I don't really know how this works, so if there's a 1 entry/contestant limit just pick one I guess. ^_^

Why is she crying? It's because...

Most Heavenly Scene
The god Avo gazed upon her and saw what she has wrought. Then, He smiled.

Hope I got it right.

That's.... beautiful. Seriously.

I'm not sure why you quoted me.

Whoops. Clicking misfired.

And to add a new picture:

Curses! Why can't I draw wings this good?

Curses! Why can't I draw wings this good?

Try reading a lot of tutorials, like this!

It really helps when I draw stuff, though practice is very important as well

Oh, and now I'm here: Life won't keep me away form making an entry! It won't!

[Derjuin]

I had a picture of the Platinum Angel next to me, so I had a reference image; it makes making wings a lot easier

Yldenfrei, if it's your first contest, you are also allowed to enter all you entries in the rookie category (for this contest only), in addition to the other category you already entered it in.

The magic theme is AWSOME!

HOLD RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL--!

Seriously, they should forbid making such pictures as your first post. Sigh. At least my decision to not start in this one turns out to be correct :P

Anyway, what Tribble said - you're best making no more than 12 pictures to cover all the categories. And, of course, if this your first IA, you should add "Rookie Entry" to all of your pictures.

One nitpick, though, this fallen sword in the avatar-sized entry doesn't seem to belong to the rest of the picture - maybe remove it and zoom it a bit in?

Plus, the colours remind me of Belldandy for some reason.

[Dvandemon]

I fear I shall be a permanent spectator in these contest now

[Serpentine]

Ninjaman: please don't quote entry images. This is at least the third Iron Avatarist you've had to be reminded. I checked.

Lovely, Ylden.

[yldenfrei]

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! ^_^

@Irbis: I'll try and make a swordless version, but I think I'll keep the rest un-zoomed for OotS scale. Thanks!
Also, Pale blond hair + Blue dress + White and Red Highlights = Yep, that's Belldandy alright.


Now for something OotS related:

Goodest OotSatar
Hinjo as Holy Knight


Since Bradakhan gave Miko an upgrade, I feel it's only just that the rest of the Azurites follow. That, and Hinjo is my favorite paladin. ^_^

Now where did all that power come from? Guess who they found in that obscure island of the Western Continent...

Best Celestial
Amaterasu the Sun Goddess


New Deity discovered! Awesome! and with a few more upgrades they are now ready for...

Most Heavenly Scene
The Retaking of Azure City


Aaaaand that's it, I guess. All bases covered. Plus the Rookie category. ^_^

P.S.
Technically, these are not entries to the contest, but I'll post the individual avatars just in case someone wants them ^_^

O-Chul as Holy Avenger


Lien as Spear Adept


Kazumi and Daigo as Celestial Beacons

[Ninjaman]

Ninjaman: please don't quote entry images. This is at least the third Iron Avatarist you've had to be reminded. I checked.

Lovely, Ylden.

Sorry, i forgot to "snip" it. I did now.sorry.

Edit: Ylden you are too good, what is your secret.

Th
Best Celestial
Amaterasu the Sun Goddess

Was this inspired or at least influenced by Okami?

[yldenfrei]

@Raging Gene Gray: Yep, very much. Especially since a Google Image search of "Amaterasu" would yield so many Amy anthros. And it's cute, so why not, right? ^_^

[Raging Gene Ray]

@Raging Gene Gray: Yep, very much. Especially since a Google Image search of "Amaterasu" would yield so many Amy anthros. And it's cute, so why not, right? ^_^

I'll admit that I wouldn't have recognized this Amaterasu as an antrho of the one from Okami without the spiral mirror wrapped in feathery flames.

If you have any Inkscaping left in you, do you think you could do a Sangwaan as Divine Oracle or Sacred Prophet?

[yldenfrei]

@Raging Gene Gray: Here you go. ^_^

Sangwaan as Divine Oracle


A little bit off-topic with the OotSatar request, but it's still a Goodness theme, so I hope the mods will let this slide just once. A free Goodest OotSatar if you will. ^_^

There. Looks like the only named Azurites left un-upgraded are Shojo and Mr. Scruffy.
(DISCLAIMER: Not including the named Azurites of Haley's resistance ^_~)

[Serpentine]

You're aware that you can enter as many as you like, right? Just checking that you're not just being tactical.

[Zefir]

And remember, if you never have made pics for IA all your Entrys are able to enter as Rooky Entry in addition.

Oh and I'm not good aligment Ninja so I smite you^^

[Serpentine]

Yeah, don't forget to mark all your entries with "Rookie".

I'm not evil. Your smite fails

[yldenfrei]

@Serpentine: Nope, no hidden agenda. Just to be clear my entries are:

Goodest Avatar (Rookie) - Celestial Disciple
Goodest OotSatar (Rookie) - Hinjo as Holy Knight
Best Celestial (Rookie) - Amaterasu the Sun Goddess
Most Heavenly Scene (Rookie) - Avo's Smile and The Retaking of Azure City

The rest of the Azurites, while cute, do not stand out on their own as much as Hinjo or the Disciple, so I decided not to enter them. I only posted them just in case someone wants to adopt them or something. ^_^

[Serpentine]

No problems, just checking.

[Ashen Lilies]

That is some very lovely art, yldenfrei.

I must say, the general quality in this contest is amazing.

Sparks my competitiveness...
Expect something in the future.

It's all over. No one stands a chance now.

Btw, the 'shamelessly tailored to my tastes' is a half joke. I only think I've VT choiced one made for me this whole time. I go by quality and/or those that intrigue me/amuse me. The above is simply an awesome scene.

[Irbis]

I believe she haven't posted 12 pictures yet :P

Oh, and Ylden? It would be good if you also edited the note about the rookie into your entry posts, that way no one will miss that. Though, I have no idea how they could.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Question, yldenfrei.

Amaterasu the Sun Goddess looks very familiar, mainly the swirly greenish disk. There is someone on the forums that escapes my memory that has a signature with something like that in it.

Some feline creature that has the exact same design and artwork. Wouldn't happen to have made a banner for someone in the past would you have?

[Derjuin]

This didn't come out nearly as well as I'd hoped it would...oh well.

It's been mentioned already, actually: the goddess Amaterasu from Okami. In the game, she's usually in wolf form.

[half-halfling]

yldenfrei -Your drawings are beautiful. I think all the first places are already taken by You .

I decided to make (again) some experiments with shading, and it's the first time I'm happy about the results. Wings are made using Keveak's tutorial -it helped much.
It's good Sabine (or maybe only shapeshifted into angel? ).
