Posted: Thu May 20, 2004 12:38 am Post subject: Your Favorite Of Blanka's Character Portraits |
|
|
Which of the Character portraits, by Blanka, on the Main site is your favorite?
I'd have to say my favorite is Hugo, The Librarian From Qlon, as the art and the pose really match Hugo's personality and appearance. The water-color look really brings out his droopiness and sort of intellectual melancholy. And the pose is by far the most perfect out of all the characters, more natural and uninterrupted.
My second favorite is Crowley, The Ancient Magus, the colors and mood of the picture are perfect and fit well with Crowley's character.
And honorable mention goes to Camille for being so... Top heavy.
I must say, Blanka is quite the Artist. |

Your second favorite, Crowley, for the same reasons as you. ^__^
Edit: I also like her Gremio fanart. ^__^

I found Crowley to be a very good picture, for basically all the reasons you said. I like them all for different reasons though. Good mood. Gotta love the Hermit sage.
The Hugo one is very good. It shows his character a lot more. Being caught up in the books...But he kind of looks depressed...
The background in his Leon Silverberg one is beautiful. To me, it brings out the sadness in the world, like it's being controlled by very few people. He being one of them.
But....I think his Gremio one is the best. So he's my favourite character (BIAS...) it's like hes trying to look through the sky to see something. He looks lost in thought while being worried about something. I guess that's all I have to say. |

Two corrections. Blanka is a girl. Also, the Leon Silverberg picture was drawn by Shadra D, also a girl.
Also, I need to add the other Blanka pics to the auto loading program-thingie. |

Some of the ones I really like are Tir McDohl, Viktor, Crowly, Cleo, Barbarosa, and Krin (No I'm serious! I think his portrait catches his personallity very well! :D )
But my all time favorite has to be of course Gremio. It's gota be one of the best Suikoden portraits ever. _________________

Actually, this topic is about Blanka's art, not the official portraits drawn by Junko Kawano. |

The Gremio one is really beautiful, and so is the one of Luc. Of course, all the portraits are very beautiful, but these two really captured my attention the most. |

The one of Jeane is my favorite. Her eyes have this weird (non-sexual) myesterious message in them... and the one of Kwanda is also nice. Not for any reasons in particular just that you can imagine what he'd look like without his helmet. |

I like how Blanka chose to draw pics about forgotten characters, such as Hugo, Chapman, Griffith, etc...I hoenstlyh almost forgot about those non-returning characters int he masses...thanks Blanka....My favs::: I like the Grenseal and Cleo, when she's in her battle gear...Also, is the Legpant pic based from when he's rescuing Eileen from Kraze? It looks like it...They all look pretty good. |

Clive. I just love his expression. (...and the drooling fangirl in me privately squees over the hotness that is Clive. <3)
Gremio comes in at a close second. _________________

I love them all but my favorites are gotta be Cleo (the gearless one), Eileen and all her Sydonia works (found in her website).
She's my inspiration for drawing not-so-popular characters. There should be more forgotten characters fanart. |

I personally like her portrayals of the characters in Suikoden more than I like Kawano's official work on S1. However, I'm loving her character designs for S4.
My favorite picture of Blanka's is Griffith. I don't know why, but his expression just captures his personality. I believe him to be a solemn-ish character. |
