Description Snake charming in Felarya. It still involves a Cobra swaying to the music, but there are a few differences. Starting with which party gets to set the terms of the performance...




Have you ever had one of those ideas that you didn't quite pull off as well as you would have liked? And because it was neat and deserved better than you gave it, the idea gets lodged in the back of your head, and every so often you feel the need to re-visit the idea until you do it right? Well, that happens to me every now and then. And one of those times was this drawing: [link] . It wass unpolished, it was drawn at an awkward angle for seeing the character, and most of all, the character design for the cobra-girl was just really bland. Her hood didn't work at all....

So, after turning the cobra-hood into a pun, and making it into a fashion-hood, I went back and re-did the drawing. While the dancing-pose isn't quite as showy as it might have been, everything else feels good enough!





So! I hope you--and the explorers pictured--enjoy this girl's performance. Say the right things to her, and you may get a private dance afterwards. ...And pay no attention to that slug in the background. If she disrupts the show in any way, she'll learn what the penalty is for crossing a King (Queen) Cobra!

Am I the only one imagining the lost woods theme looking at this pic?

Haha, very clever idea with the hood And a general good idea all round! I love the way you drew the dancing naga, and the random slug girl just creeping into the back there made me laugh. Nice one

One thing I can say about this picture is green. Its not a bad thing and I happen to like green. You did a nice job with the flow of her tail and her clothes, and very nice detail on everything. The best part of the picture is the slug girl and I was wondering: whats inside the hole in the tree?

Ah, good, someone did pick up on the creature in the tree! It was supposed to be a Neko--you know, a cat hiding in a tree--but, admittedly, its a little hard to render/detail creatures that small...

Anyways, glad you appreciate the background!

Glad to have amused! ...The 'atmosphere' an afterthought, just a semi-transparent green layer over everything in the distance...

This is indeed interesting...

Using bewitching singing and thus prevent the possibility of return fire from that twin 12.7mm(?) machine gun ...

Looks pretty efficiently, if you as me)

TriffRaff In reply to Rezec [2011-11-05 14:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Heh. It would be a good strategy, if she hadn't picked up one of the explorers as a hostage/spectator.

Rezec In reply to TriffRaff [2011-11-05 16:40:35 +0000 UTC]

I doubt that rest of the crew is paying attention to that))

btw, background is stunning! So many details, and that slug-girl make it just perfect)

Well, since I imagined him being the leader of this small team--hence him getting the special treatment--I imagine they're paying a lot of attention to that.

Glad you like the background! I spent way more time on this one than I usually do...

Heh. She only got away with it because she's way in the background, with no real detail to her.
