Description Sivu popped up into my thoughts again so I drew this. I like Sivu even though he's not nearly as developed as some of my other characters. But, whenever I draw Sivu, he always comes out looking pretty good. I don't really ever struggle with getting him to feel right. Yay.

Once again he's underground/in the depths of some temple place. They're the only surrounds I ever really picture him in.

Can't really think of anything else to say. Hope you all like. :3

Oh, by the way: he reminds me of Neverwinter Nights artworks (manual art and menu backgrounds).

I guess that's a good thing? I've never seen anything to do with that game.

Aye, it is. It generally looks like work of artists from Bioware: now I recall a picture of Ellesime, elven queen from Baldur's Gate 2 - shading and colors are pretty much the same. Linework isn't much different either.

Thanks!

The 'strange writing' just says his name. Nothing *too* mysterious.

It doesn't . It says "Siou" with a long "o" (it's Greek alphabet - and Greeks don't have any letter that sounds like "v" or "w" - the Symbol font has such keymap that Q matches the "th" letter (theta), W matches long "o" (omega) and V is a "scrap" key mapped to omega used in the end of a word (small one) and sigma (S) used in the end of a word (capital one)).

Nice detail and coloring, very soft feel to it. The lighting effects are great too. The combination of that and the color tones gives it a feeling like he's underwater.

Further proof that body peircing has gone to far... What's next? Wrist Rings? Butt Rings? "Dude, I got my liver peirced!" There's a whole in his ceiling! This must be horrible when flooding occurs above! Really nice shading and anatomy! He has an 8-pack. Is that possible?

Aww... nipple rings are fairly tame... A lot of guys have them. :3 Wrist rings? If that ever happened I would totally be "WTF!?"

Hmm... 8-pack. It's possible on him. >_>;;

yersh! he has a lip mark just like Jaali! eets so sexeh!! ^0^ (are they related somehow? )
*drool* he's so buff (I love that *drool*) and he has such kind eyes, Like he would protect you with that strong body of his *droool*** his design is so cool, awesome dreads and the bandana too.. those nipple rings look like they would have hurt though O.o
(also, the lit up dust sparks were a wonderful touch )

capsicum In reply to bourgogne [2004-10-02 10:31:11 +0000 UTC]

You know, I gave him that lip mark just for you. Well, not just for you, but *because* of you. You made me realise how sexy it was. Strange that a tiny mark can be so sexy. o.O
He's not at all related to Jaali. I'm not even really sure what Sivu is. Like, if he's an actual human or some kind of deity thing. I'll decide one day. My *original* idea was that he was some kind of spirit of the dead that was like a leader of lost souls (like souls of people who'd committed suicide/stuck in limbo) and he either helped them on their way to heaven or stored them in the depths of the underground tombish temple. But then I thought he could just be some spirit-y tomb guard. Like the embodiment of those Egyptian curses. He's definitely Egyptian influenced, whatever he is.

I'm glad you realised that the dust sparks *were* actually dust sparks. I was worried no one would know what they were.

bourgogne In reply to capsicum [2004-10-02 19:57:51 +0000 UTC]

^-^ yei!!! for the sexah lip mark!! ^0^
hmmmm. both ideas sound pretty interesting.. you could make interesting storys of why those lost souls were stuck in limbo (you know, their reason for commiting suicide and the like. ) but the curse embodyment also sounds inertesting ^-^

I was worried people would think the hair was weird/crappy so I'm so glad you like it. I'm also really happy that you knew that those yellow sparkles were actually dust. I worried that people wouldn't know what they were.

Yay! I cake.

Earthy tones = good. I'm glad you like the hair. I was a bit worried that it looked sort of stupid but a few people have given me positive feedback so I'm happy now.

PS - toast for you! (it's the only food icon-y thing I know) XD
