Wings
of Void / Vaucia
Materials:- Photoshop.
Month/year:- April 2004
Comments:- *To different versions of this pic
on this page, scroll down to see the second* Drawn for 'Aelice's Third Official
Bishounen Art Contest' on Gaia. The idea of the contest was to draw a bishounen
that fits into this theme:
Spoken to be the descendant of a nameless deity, the child of inorganic wings is an outsider, a lost exile forsaken by a god’s cursed touch. Marked by the immortals, he hopes to earn acknowledgment with the countless who ignorantly shun him'
Although she uses the term inorganic, she tells us that what she really means is she wants us to draw unusual wings, not just demonic or angel wings. In the end I came up two pictures, 'Wings of Restraint' (chain wings...I may upload that pic to this site later), and this one you see here, 'Wings of Void'. At the time I wanted a signature pic of my character, Vaucia, for the forum where the contest was being held, so I decided to try and hit two birds with one stone. The bishi in the pic is my Vaucia, only Vaucia doesn't have those wings, lol. I wish I hadn't tried to make one picture to fit two purposes though, it didn't really work out for me. Sorry the background is a bit lame compared to what I can do (points to the pants looking grass at the bottom of the pic), I was running out of time for the deadline of the contest so I rushed the bg *sigh* - I may update this pic later, there are a few bits that need more work, like his trousers/pants and that lame bg, lol. This is a bit of a big file, sorry for the load time!

And here's the version of the pic I sometimes use for a signature on Gaia. This is Vaucia in the costume my Gaian avatar wears, but for those of you who haven't heard me babbling about Vaucia, he's actually a character from a comic I'm making (again) and has wolf ears and a wolf tail, rather than the mini-batwings and demon tail that my avatar often wears:
