SciFi and Fantasy Art: Bihayls

Black and white of my new breed of creature. I am also going to try it in colors as well, as soon as I get around to it. Done in mechanical pencil and, yes, Laura finally bought a smudging tool and kneeded eraser. Be proud. Be very proud.

Wow, this is a great picture. Love the bat wings. The mask reminds me of the movie Eyes Wide Shut. But I´ll keep mine wide open when looking at this... eye candy!!!

:-) Laura Beth Katt replies: "I've never seen the movie Eyes Wide Shut. What color was their mask? I'm taking suggestions for colors for the mask."

The masks in Eyes Wide Shut (this movie had a LOT of masks in it) are mostly white and gold. If you want a glimpse of what they look like, then see this picture: http://members.chello.nl/aa.pistoor/dvd/eyeswideshut.jpg
There are a lot of crazy masks in the movie, so if you want to get inspired that film is a great way to start... good luck!!!

:-) Laura Beth Katt replies: "Thank you very much. I will deffinately rent the movie and take a look."

Ooh, very very nice! I love everything about this pic. The proportions, the pose, the stylized look, the shading, the fact that it's in black&white...everything! The mask is a great touch...and for some reason, I an particularly enamored of the feet!
Excellent work!

:-) Laura Beth Katt replies: "Ohhh. Thank you very much for the commentary. Truly. I myself wasn't much on the feet at very first after having drawn it, but they really do grow on you, don't they? *grins*"

A vey well done pic, I like the detail in the wings and the back of her head. I just like the concept of the creature, pretty good. 12

:-) Laura Beth Katt replies: "Some day I will actually have to get my normal website up and working better so that people can read about her species. But thank you. It was a different thing to do and I think it came out alright.. *smiles*"

Smudging tool? You mean there's more than just a finger?

This is just a great creatue. It reminds me of those bird people in that one episode of Aeon Flux.

:-) Laura Beth Katt replies: "We used to make fun, calling them joints back when I was still in school. But indeed, they make a delightful texture that a finger can't always manage. And thank you. Eventually I will have the idea of their creation worked onto paper."

Beautiful shading, I really like the shading along the tail too! I like the movement of the form.

This is my favorite, it's very simple yet so neat and critiqued. I love it.
