Have been working on THIS. It's the same character as from this piece and i hope to get the resemblance right. Obviously the main different between the two images is that her head is normal sized now in comparison to her shoulders, so ignore that... if you can.

Need to finish that Ichimaru piece tho goddammit.

I like both of them. And the flash seems a bit weird. XD

Yeeeeeeeeeeee

I've been teaching m'self digipainting just for the kicks of it. Photoshop CS3 and tablet and whatnot. Here's teh results so far.





S'fun. Can do things fast and still have it look coo.

-E-

Owtf? I haven't posted viking batman here before?! Strange.

Zeratanus, that bottom pic, did you draw the lines or just colour it? The lines are great but i think the colouring could use some work, don't be afraid to effect the lines with the colour, or to go as dark as the lines with the colour. I find it's best for them to integrate.

Hay look larwick is posting another picture.
I worked on Ichi some more, almost done now. Need opinions if you can give em since this is most probs my final WIP. Thanks babe.

Christ yeah you're right that hand is out of whack. I'll fix that tomorrow. Thanks. :)

His lips do, and always have stressed me out. They look like a wirecut into plasticene, then re-mooshed in like 30 seconds. It's probably 'cause he's a character from an anime I'll never watch, but it makes me think of the :3 face, and that face makes me want to kill everything that exists.

Also, it lost some of the depthy relation bits from the drawing to the colouring. Mostly, I think, because we now can't see his arm actually going into the sleeve, so it looks kinda like some disembodied floating forearm. Iono, hard to put a finger on it exactly.

Overall better than I can do, so all nitpicks aside, I'm still jealous :D

@Sab: I think this is due to the fact i'm trying to work with a character that has a very prominent long smile, and rendering that in a realistic way is a bitch. I'll see whether giving it some realistic shading on the lips will help the cause, thanks. :)
I'm going to go back and give it some real depth with lighting and colouring effects, it definitely needs some more for something like this. Thanks for pointing it out.

@Leroy: Yeah i completely overexaggerated Shinsou, although its release stretches the blade, so i wanted to give a strong impression of action (as if it was stretching towards the viewer).

Although saying that your edit is delicious. I'll tinker with it some more. :)


The hand holding Shinsou is actually meant to be held backwards, so his elbow is pointing out behind him. I think i may have to make this more visible and therefore easier to understand.

You've been a great help guys! :D

Hopefully i fixed all the issues! But did i? DUN DUN DUNNN.

SKEWER DAT PUNNNKKK

Wish04... i just LOVE that style

Reo, pretty damn good for 'a doodle'. 

Opacus, between the strings, the glass dome and the bottom of the ufo, my head is starting to spin. There seems to be a bit of a perspective issue here. The strings are pointing down. The dome is not where it should be to be aligned with the center. And the bottom is at an angle separate from the rest of the two pieces.

Aw, he looks so cute.

Random frog . . . type . . .  creature

Made it recently, played around with the digital equivalent of underpainting.

Damn, nice cloud effect.

Think you could pass off a tutorial to me? I could use practice with clouds.

 

Nice colors on the face. I love that sort of look that you get with a soft blush and highlight.

Hey Lollige that's coool.

Thanks lar, and evilagram, in most cases you will learn more of deep studies.



BTW, I know it looks like candie, but its not! Its colored with Acrylic! Which is NOT delicious!

(I should use that stuff to paint again -_-)

Whoa!  Pupils!

what a stupid pose!

I made this simple drawing around 10 years ago... bored in some school class.

That's interesting Antiboton :) I have a feeling it would work great pixelated.

Yay Leroy thanks.

Update:

I have a feeling i'll need help with these feet. Do they look ok? The positioning i mean. Most of the anatomy of the foot will be covered by boots.

Oh yeah and those trousers are very tight, i know. They have a hidden (non-metal) zip along the back leg that leads from the mid thigh - so it's basically just like putting on tight shorts at first. It's breathable waterproof material. BECAUSE I SAY SO.

actually the knuckles of the left hand are wrong, there is no way in the world for her hand to loo like that unless he has an extra boneless articulation in the middle of the palm. knucles should be somehow parallel to the wrist as the hand is sligthy twisted towards the body.

The hair and eyes are by far my favourite focal point in this piece. For my nitpicking session however, I'm going to direct you to 3 areas that I've attempted to correct in my edit (of course, you may have intended these things to look this way on purpose, in which case please disregard the following)



Her brow is a bit too defined for my tastes. I'm talking about just above her eyebrows where it is indented. I've smoothed that out giving her a softer look but still rigid. The indent at the bridge of nose seems a bit much as well. Lastly, her neck looks like it might twist and choke her to death. I've softened and smoothed that out as well.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing the final product and other concepts you've done up for this project.

I practiced for two weeks on hands and nothing else, so now I can do really realistic hands.
