SF&F Picture 14 out of 26 by Serena J. Loder .

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Sentinel

My one and only watercolor! (I can't use the stuff) From the same story as Taylin and Cooper. Sentinels are these creepy creatures with funny weapons. Nobody knows why they're called sentinels, except for the sentinels themselves, and, of course, me ;) http://www.geocities.com/windrunner12

8 Apr 2001	Carmen	Loading... ok, begins first comment dance you can use watercolor, it looks real good !!! and now, tell us the secret, whyyyy are the sentinels calles sentinels??
9 Apr 2001	andre	Loading... Unique combination of colors! Make the background totally black (test with photoshop), I bet that will ... I don't know, could be cool!
1 May 2001	Carissa R. Merz	Loading... Oh I dunno.. Looks like you have a good concept of watercolors.. Just remember that layering is key, and ya dont wanna blend with much water.. it makes for mud.. Prisma colors can help touch up water colors very well... But as for this picture here, I like it much. I like th colors. It does need a blacker background though.. Blacken the bottom corners and grey out the top a tiny bit perhaps? Blacker, like dark black along the right side of the sentinel, will make him stand out a lot more.
19 May 2001	Puck	Loading... Oh, and watercolour's a tough medium.
19 May 2001	Puck	Loading... Hurrah for intense eyes! Now make them 10X that. And I agree with andre, the backround should be black. It'll seem like the blade it cutting through the very fabric of the darkness (oooh, Puck waxes poetic)
4 Jun 2001	female fred <re	Loading... Oooooooooooo!!!! fire fire burning bright, in the darkness of the night. purty picture!! i like the way the light is reflected on his clothes
12 Sep 2001	Senna	Loading... And a sick greenish-yellow light sprang up around the blade? I like! This is actualy just how I imagined them looking from your descriptions, so bravo to both the watercolor pic and the written one.
17 Nov 2001	Austin	Loading... SURREAL! I felt just like I waked aroud a corner in some cave complex and saw THAT waiting to drag me to my doom! LOVE the hint of a maelevolent grin underneath the mask. Keep it up!
26 Jan 2003	Amanda C. Hopkins	Loading... Can't use watercolors?!?!? If you can't then there certainly isn't any hope for the rest of us. This is fantastic. I have to agree w/ Austin. This guy has such character... so why ARE they called sentinels??? WHY??? I must know!!! The thing I love most about this pic, though, is the color choice. The green shadows, rather. Inspired! Great pic- keep it up!
