Qiane - Goddess of Illusions [2D] [Archive]

Shreya

28-08-2006, 08:43 PM

Goddess and Queen of Eithanas, Qiane is the personification of the
false realm itself. Or maybe Eithanas is just an extension of her.
Shifting between the living world and the afterlife, those who get into
Eithanas may not get out, unless the Goddess wills them so. 
 
The daughter of Rakhn,she inherited his power of weaver-magic. But
while Rakhn prefered to weave his way into the fates of the living,
Qiane wove her magic into creating her own world.Though, what her hands
created, her sight destroyed. So she veiled her eyes, content to live
in her own illusionary world and see through Valha and Mentit, her pet
crows. 
 
 
Shamelessly enough, I drew this character of mine prematurely only because I wanted to submit something for Exotique 2, haha .

balaji_san: Thank you! 
 
waheednasir: Thank you very much. Yea, I've been putting it up everywhere, haha. 
 
cgguru: Thank you! :) 
 
VishyP: Composition has never really been my strong point. I'd really
appreciate any thoughts on how this could have been better. I'd keep
them in mind for the next piece then :) Thank you! 
 
wozim: Thanks! I used Photoshop CS2. The .psd, after the crop is
5413px  x 3200 px - my largest yet! My por little computer
couldn't handle it so I had to stick to a maximum of 2 layers at any
given point. It most certainly brought some discipline back into me,
haha. 
 
hells angel: That, or I gave up, haha. Thank you so much for the crits! I tried to fix the issues, hope it looks ok now. 
 
drained spirit: Thanks! About the sketchbook, I think that's what is
making me draw so much. I can be a lazy slob otherwise :) I would
highly recommend having a online sketchbook for everyonw, the crits and
encouragement really help! Aishwarya Rai huh? The eyes? hahah 
 
he-man: Thank you very much!

Hey shreya went through the cgsociety link and i found that full layout that is without croping the thing on which she rests good.... well i would like to comment on the drapes on her body... they need some more folds and on them especially the area arround her leg(top leg)and thigh...right now its creating a very solid sillhoute as it has very little amount of folds... it needs more detailing as well

hi shreya...........its really cool...........i'm also inclined  2wards dig paintings but after 3d everything just faded away. But i relly get inspired to see this kina work. Thank .......

Exquisite!! A Thought:  An idea wud be to make another version of her, where you can see the stone railing at back of her, the ones you would see in palace's balcony. And then maybe sunlight coming on to her from one side and lighting her egde...like rimlight. Though it might be off topic thing, as the mood you got in here is perfect for the subject!! Just a thought tho. PS: Love her face!

Stunning piece of painting....Good style...The eyes scare me!...
The pose very much remniscent of Manet's Olympia.....Great Work!

Shreya

07-09-2006, 12:23 AM

Thanks for the replies everyone! :) 
 
VishyP: That leg gave me trouble in genral, because
after adding the hair, her right leg started looking like her left leg.
So the folds there looked pretty odd too. I figured it was best to
leave it as it was, that to muck it up even more. 
 
<a name="35405"></a>
3d_devil: Thanks:) I just didn't want super detail everywhere, I'm trying to keep myself in check :D 
 
simplycreative: Thank you very much for the kind words! :) 
 
harshdesign: Thank you! I -love- backlit
stuff, especially hair. I'm sort of plannign a painting(or perhaps just
a sketch) with only that in mind, haha. 
 
moush: Thank you! :) 
 
graftist: Thanks! :) I wanted a little bit of
an Orientalist feel in my painting (my original idea had even more
cushions and drapes) Olympia is close to one of my inspirations though
(Venus of Urbino). That pose just seems to project so much power and
strength. But then I figured that her looking away would be even
cooler. hehe.

any way she looks more like angelina jolie  "laracroft" .... Hey!! I totally agree with n2to3!! Wow! No kidding! When I first looked at this painting, Anjelina Jolie was the girl who came into my mind. But I did not realize that. Now I think yeah!! She really does look like Anjelina Jolie. Do you have anything to say about this Shreya?Did you make this painting with Anjelina Jolie in your mind?? By the way.....AWESOME WORK!! Keep it up!<img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> Good luck! -A

Meson: Thank you! 
 
As for the Angelina Jolie-ness, heheheh. Well I think she's hot. The
resemblence is not intentional though.I think it's her lips, I like to
paint lips like that :P

Amrit Derhgawen

07-09-2006, 08:25 PM

Think of them as...illusion-threads emerging from her fingers :) Wow! What a great imagination! How in the world do you get all these ideas?!! This is what I call "disgustingly creative"! Yeah, you're right about her lips....I can see that Anjelina Jole-NESS very clearly. Good work indeed! I like the pose too.....You really are a true artist! Keep it up, looking forward to see more art-work from you in the future! -A
