Aquaria fanart [spoilers]

[Xiagan]

Cool pics! I like Naija's expressions a lot!

[Vetehinen]

Lets continue drawing some fan art. I was very happy that Nature Boss Fight was suggested earlier (it wouldn't have come to my mind otherwise), so if someone could suggest a new theme I would appreciate it 

I had some plans to illustrate beast form, or to give a try and colour my 1st Aquaria illustration digitally (I scanned it with outlines before I drew it completely). Digital drawing isn't my tool of choice, though, but playing with colours could be interesting + could add the "underwater" feeling my pics lack.

Either the first encounter with the creator, or the final battle when she released Li. I think it'd be a nice challenge. :3

I've got a couple of suggestions for fanart:

1.) How about some art showcasing the weird, wonderful wildlife that populates Aquaria such as the Predatory Tunicates or the Transportation Turtles or the Mutilus or even some of the obscure critters like the ugly fish with the isopod in its mouth or the robotic fish in the sun temple?  Or how about another Ekkrit piece?  Can't get enough Ekkrit.

2.) I'd like to see some more pieces featuring Li.  I know a lot of people aren't big fans of him because we don't get to know him very well, so let's make some art to try and change that.  How about, for example, a mini-comic or just a vignette from his perspective?  Try to imagine what he thinks of this whole other world he's just found.   Maybe something explaining what he was doing at the Veil anyway.  I've always pictured him as a scientist studying the biology of these isolated islands where he happened to see this cute siren-girl when he was a grad student.   And just what does he know about the Sunken City anyway?

3.) How about some art about the other Aquarian races like the Lunarians or the Erulians or the Arnassi?  Especially the Arnassi.  They get kind of cheated story-wise (no plot-pivotal boss plus you only get to see them as ghosts), but I think it'd be fun to figure out just what the heck they were all about.  I picture them like beefy, athletics-obsessed pseudo-Greek people.  With seahorse bodies.

Here it is, transportation turtle and Naija. Thank you for the idea 



Graphite pencil work, took about 4 hours. Like in previous works, colours and contrasts adjusted "a bit".

I'll draw some more, graphite works are really quick to do if compared to ones made with drawing ink.

[Aristobulus]

Wow that is really impressive

I'd like to see more, but I'm not sure what of, exactly.

Maybe some of Naija discovering Mithala city, or first getting into the Open waters? I don't know, though, lots of parts of the game would do well

[Senorctenophore]

Nice.  I always love the details in your work.  Especially the corals around the bottom. 

[Kondrikthus]

Excellent job, Vetehinen! You've given that turtle a majestic grandeur. Fine work!

I don't know if you'd quite call this fanart... But I wouldn't know where else to put it.

Naturally I've been as intrigued as anyone about the writing system of Aquaria, but it never quite settled with me that these cultures would mirror English EXACTLY in language, grammar, and usage. But I figured that Eric must have spoken English, so naturally his creation did too. However, how could that explain why a simple substitution cypher lets you arrive at an exact translation of the writings of Aquaria? I decided I'd try my hand at some nonsense fake-linguistics to sift it out.

Embed isn't cooperating, so here's the link: http://www.doink.com/clips/Kondrikthus/1235741/analysis-of-the-aquarian-alphabet

Unfortunately, while an amazing program, DoInk doesn't yet have the ability to add sound to its animations. So throw on the Aquaria soundtrack before you view, otherwise you're in for a quiet six minutes...

Higher resolution (wallpaper size?):  http://aerendyll.artician.com/portfolio/Marian-Naija/

I swear, I don't draw fanart often. But I find it hard not to draw Naija and Marian. =u=

EDIT: Also, I almost forgot.

When I was LiveStreaming that drawing some Aquaria fan (not sure he's on the forums here, forgot his/her name) talked to me about the eye colour of Marian. We couldn't agree whether it was brown or blue, since the Marian teaser trailer suggests brown, but other art shows blue(ish)... I hope Alec can help me out there?

Nevertheless, we came up with an alternative version of the drawing. It all started with the person I talked to suggesting neon pink eyes...

"Symbolic" version of the art here: http://www.twitpic.com/3kl96h

[Xiagan]

This totally blows my house. Great job!

[Alphasoldier]

That's just... wow.

Amazing work once again Aerendyll. o_o

[Aërendyll]

I think I made Marian too old, though...

And question for Alec: What eye colour does Marian have anyway?

(If Marian has mod tools... I can smell neon pink eyes with lasers coming up.)

[Vetehinen]

Very nice! I think it's not too bad to give her an older look, altough on the other hand I imagine her to look like, well, ageless. Something that has existed for, say, many decades but doesn't look like it. She's a doll after all, right?

I'm still quite surprised to see fan art from a game that hasn't been released yet Keep on drawing/painting!

Thank you very much for the comments concerning fan art I drew earlier!
