SciFi and Fantasy Art: DemiEvery once in a while, I draw something that far exceeds anything else I've done for the past few months. I suppose if I drew more often, I'd have more of these moments of 'epiphany' (or whatever you'd like to call them), but I'll take as many as I can get. And so, I share with you my latest of these favorite moments - Demi! I had a desired to draw an angel-cat for some time, mainly to provide a counterpart for the demon cat-girls that I'm quite fond of. Demi is not a pure angel-cat though - she's half demon, half angel (hence her name). This picture, though, does depict her angelic incarnation. Sure, I'm fond of her face and her armor design, but I'm most proud of her wing design. I've always though of angelic wings as being delicate, feathery structures - perhaps that's what kept me from drawing them before. When I started to draw Demi's wings, my design was only a very rough sketch, but I saw quickly that I could greatly change my concept of angel wings. Using some elements from my demon cat-girl, I crafted the powerful, robust wings you see below. I'll be honest in saying that I very much enjoy looking at those wings. I should note here that the dark, curved horns on top are residual elements from her demonic incarnation. So why is she half angel/half demon? Well, that is story for another day, but I hope I will be able to pass on Demi's tale in more pictures. For now though, I hope you enjoy her first appearance . | |

You're right about the wings, at first I thought "too heavy" but the more I look the more they 'feel' right :^) She's a cutie but I'm sorry, my heart still belongs to Zira ;^)Thanks for the comment - I'm glad you like her too! Zira's glad to get some more attention, but just becareful - she's my kitty.  [hears broad sword being drawn] Um...scratch that last comment - gotta be real careful on that one.  | |
| 8 Oct 2001 | Amanda 'Mana Lynn' Farrey | Hey, Jeff! Thanks for commenting in my gallery again! This looks really nice! I love her expression, so cute and playful. Something about her legs throws me off, though. But it's 1 in the morning and I'm pretty tired, so maybe I'm seeing things. LoLz. Anyways, the linework is nice and so is the shading. I love her pose.!Wow - visitin at 1 in the morning and leaving a comment - I guess you really do like my work!  Just kidding...seriously thanks for the comment. As for her legs...well I wasn't really concentrating on that part of the drawing...though she is supposed to be flying/floating so her legs don't have to be in a weight bearing stance. She does have a playful expression, though if I manage to do more drawings of Demi she'll be a lot more serious. | |
| 18 Nov 2001 | Michael L Chain (Malapterus) | Wings. To me they do not look like "heavy angel wings" but more like demon wings with feathers on them. Perfect for a half and half. Perhaps a little more feather detail could be asked for but hey when i can do it i'll ask for it. And what the hell while i'm here this pic deserves a Wonderful Weasel Award >^.^ Thanks for the comment. As for her wings, well I did use my demon wing design to help me craft those for Demi, but these are what my angel-cat wings are like. A pure angel-cat wouldn't have the dark horns on them, but they'd have the same form as Demi's. One minor detail that might be hard to pick up - demon-cat wings always curve in, while angel-cat wings always curve out. WWA? Uh...thanks I guess...  I'll have to visit your site (I really do try to do so for all my commenters though I'm sometimes a bit lazy about it - gomen!) Thanks again. | |
