>> Some color drawings.

[black orb]

>>> Im thinking in color some of the fanarts that I already have in the gallery. whenever I finish one i`ll post it here.
Right now I just have one finished, ff2 Emperor.

[NeoCracker]

Don't know why, but the face looks a bit jagged compared to the rest, though when I pay attention its not really that jagged.

Other then that though, amazing work as usually blacky. :p

[Moon Rabbits]

Maaaaaaaad good.

I like all the little creatures he has hidden throughout~

[Zeromus_X]

Maaaaaaaad good.

I like all the little creatures he has hidden throughout~

Woah, the first time I looked at it, I didn't even notice that.

And I agree, it's a great piece.

[black orb]

>>> I just finished a new one (ff5 fanart)..

[black orb]

>>> and here is another one..

[Arc_Master_14]

Dude totally awesome. Every single one is awesome

[scrumpleberry]

The dragon in that last one? Hell. Yes.

[Pete for President]

The dragon in that last one? Hell. Yes.

Word.

[black orb]

>>> Thanks for the comments, im glad you liked those drawings.
here is a new one i painted.

[black orb]

>>> I painted that Chaos drawing i made some months ago..
Photoshop.

[scrumpleberry]

Awesome awesome awesome. I think his face could be softened a little more. I know he's a villain, but he looks a bit robotic :o It'd be better if it looked a little more like skin. Great stuff with the horns though.

[black orb]

>>> Thanks for the advice, but to accomplish that i would have to start from scratch and draw a whole different version of it.

[rubah]

why not, instead of redrawing it, just add extra shadows around his chin where the little hook/implants are? to make it recede just a little

[black orb]

>>> Geez, I like it how it is. But whatever ill make that little change just for you.. :rolleyes2

[BG-57]

That's one bad:skull::skull::skull:-looking Boko. :eek:

Nice work, as always.

[black orb]

>>> FF5 fanart, This is a scene from the game when Faris is about to join your party, Im sure the pirates never liked the idea of taking Faris with you and I always wondered what they were thinking at that moment..
Poor pirates, in the end they really lose their beautiful captain..

photoshop.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

You're right. Everyone's gay for Faris.

[black orb]

>>> yeah, beauty transcend gender.

so, sign me up to the "Faris lovers club" too..

[Balzac]

I'm going to be pretty blunt here, but. I think you're wasting your talent on doing FF fanart. Now I have no idea if you come up with your own characters or not, but, it would be nice to see some of your own designs.

[black orb]

>>> Yeah, i draw my own characters too, i posted one in the quicksketch thread not long ago. The thing is that i really love to draw fan art, specially from old ff games, that way i can come up with my very own design/versions of them..
As for other art projects, well im starting to draw a ff doujin, but im not really into it right now..

[Ultima Shadow]

The dragon in that last one? Hell. Yes....there was a dragon in that one? My eyes were stuck somewhere else. :greenie:

Freaking amazing work, as usual. The FF2 emperor really looks nasty.

[black orb]

>>> Nice to see you arround here again, Ultima Shadow..

[black orb]

>>> A new drawing I finished, a Harle's portrait. (chrono cross fanart)..
Painted in photoshop.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I'm into it. It's cool to see you branching out in terms of facial structure and perspective.

[BG-57]

Very cool. But where's 'Mr. J'? ;)

[black orb]

>>> Thanks, facial structure and perspective are difficult to draw, I needed some references for the nose, eyes and mouth and I had to re-draw her various times to make her look good..

>>> I wonder who is "Mr.J"..

[BG-57]

Sorry, Batman in-joke. Harley Quinn is a villain who wears a similar harlequin outfit. 'Mr. J.' one of her pet names for the Joker. :greenie:

[black orb]

>>> Something for BG-57.
Draw BG-57 char designs is always a pleasure (he has some interesting stuff)..

[BG-57]

That is seriously sweet! :eek: Sure wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley.

[Purcifur]

Dang those are some mad skills Black Orb. How long would you say it takes to finish a drawing like the Final Fantasy 5 pic above? There's quite a few characters in there that's for sure hahah.

[black orb]

That is seriously sweet! :eek: Sure wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley.
>>> heh, I would really want to meet her in a dark alley.

>>> Draw and inking take just a few hours, but the painting process take days.

[Purcifur]

Yeah I figured the painting part took a while. That's some really impressive work. I've pretty well lost all my drive to do anything even remotely detailed anymore. : / Though your work is really inspiring. It makes me want to do a "masterpiece" so to speak but I'm just so darn busy lately @.@ So, I'll just keep a close eye on your work instead for now. :)

[Ultima Shadow]

That is seriously sweet! :eek: Sure wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley.
>>> heh, I would really want to meet her in a dark alley.

...I'm with orb on this one. =D

[Rocket Edge]

Wow that last one was really great blacky.

[strawberryman]

Faris: :love:

All that needs to be said.

[FNaaz]

damn lost for words

[Garnie]

amazing as always orby!
<3

[smittenkitten]

Good paintings, I've seen some of them before. I like the way you have painted Boko and I can see Lenna's panties. :bigsmile:

[xXsarahXx]

wow im lost for words they are all amazing!
well done :)

[black orb]

>>> I asked Pete for President if i could paint one of his drawings, he was ok with it so this is the result..
Pete`s original drawing is here
http://forums.eyesonff.com/artists-forum/123279-petes-fine-fineliner-thread.html

and thanks for the comments everyone..

[Rantz]

Awesome. :D

[scrumpleberry]

This is a collab which BLOWS THE MIND you guys need to do more of this imo :o

[black orb]

>>> This is a request from Mercen-X, i made those characters based on Jirito`s designs, Xikur (http://fanart.eyesonff.com/showphoto.php?photo=1127&cat=500&ppuser=21943), Nexas (http://fanart.eyesonff.com/showphoto.php?photo=1114&cat=500&ppuser=21943)..

[NeoTifa]

Good, now draw Sebastian for me <3. Jirito said she'd give it a try, but I think you should help out with the art too. Click the link in my sig.

[black orb]

>>> Mercen-X had to wait like 6 months for this..

[Avarice-ness]

>>> Mercen-X had to wait like 6 months for this..

THERE IS NO EXCUSE, WORK ART SLAVE!

xD

That's what happens when you draw something for other people, more people come.

[NeoTifa]

Bah!!!! *cracks whip* lol nah I've been wanting to try to steal recruit you to Project: N00b for the longest time.

I'm really a huge fan of the Red Mage.

[BG-57]

Excellent artwork.

You'd be a great asset to Project N00b. You're great at character design and landscapes.

[NeoTifa]

Beej! Why the hell don't you have a link to it in your sig?! *cracks whip*

[BG-57]

Hey, relax. It's all good.

[NeoTifa]

... nooo iitttsss nnooootttt *glares until he fixes the problem*

You probably know this and just being sarcastic, but I'm sure black orb is warning requesters that they may have to wait half-a-year to see their pics up. Unless you can front the money to cover his losses for spending time on your pic which he should be spending on those he's actually getting paid for.
Then again, that might not help him recover from losing face. His reputation is on the line when it comes to those signing the checks so if he loses stride it may be difficult for others to trust him to get the job done. Professionalism bites ass but it'll put food on the table.

And, yes, it's an awesome pic.

[NeoTifa]

I was jk? and like I said, Jirito already said she was doing Sebastian.

[black orb]

>>> I know, but sometimes people come with interesting ideas and i still have fun doing art requests from time to time..

>>> Something like that i guess, but the truth is that I really dont make any money with my artwork, i dont know why but I never had any luck in that part. I make more money making websites and graphic design related stuff. And is true that im always busy and the people have to wait a lot if they want their pic done. :P

[Psychotic]

I absolutely love what you did with Pete's work.

Now, I have a list of art I'd like you to draw for me...

(just kidding :p can you imagine what frightening things your talent and my derranged mind would produce? the world is better off not knowing)

Yeah, black orb has done some amazing pictures of various characters in my stories and games over the years. I just wish my writing talent were as good as his artwork.

Anything he's done has been worth waiting for.

[black orb]

>>> Now that you mention it, you guys had been doing a great job with the best-artist speeches.

>>> I painted another Chrono Cross pic, "Tragedienne" these monsters are quite bizzare, and their quotes were kind of funny so i wanted to make a drawing. this one says Hello, im Marianella. Im a virgo, and im 15 I like to suck blood

[Mercen-X]

Why leave some of the letter blank?

[black orb]

>>> It has something to do with the game, the flowing text that fills the panel make a slight pause in those same letters/words i left in blank.
Obviously the programmers did this on purpose, so your brain automatically decipher the text as:
Hello, im Marianella.
Im a virgin, and im 15
I like to suck *whatever suits you fancy*

[Mercen-X]

Can you draw up a picture of Vincent V from Dirge with a darker, more gothic style? Include Cloud as he is represented in the original Kingdom Hearts using the same style I described for V.V.

That would be awesome, thanks. OH! Give Cloud black-white hair. Heh.

[xXsarahXx]

I am such a huge fan of your work.
Ive not played crono cross before but those monters look awesome.

Nicely done, yet again!

[black orb]

I am such a huge fan of your work.
>>> Thank you.. :p

Mercen-X
I dont have any plans to draw ff7 fanart right now, but when i do it i`ll have your idea in mind..

[Mercen-X]

Vincent is a basic palette for Darke. Wields a pistol, wears a trenchcoat, and summons a demon with whom he can share power. No eye pigment.
Cloud is palette for Skath. Carries a large sword, looks hurriedly dressed hunter gear chaotically assembled. Summons a battle-scarred wolf ally. Skath's eyes glow red.

[black orb]

>>> Chaos girl, painted in photoshop..

[Pete for President]

It's amazing how you managed to make the crystal/rock-ish bottom look so colourful but yet so raw. The pattern on the horns also looks brilliant, although I must say they have lost their edge a bit. :choc: It might just be my preference for ink, but they seem not as sharp and evil-looking as in the ink drawing.

Still, amazing job! Hope you colour Fairytale aswell, really dig those mushroomy/vegetable creatures. :choc:

[black orb]

>>> That would be a real pain in the ass to paint, I better leave it as it is..:)

[Ultima Shadow]

Maybe it's partly because I'm a bit of a demon-girl fetischist, but I absolutely ADORE the chaos girl! =D

[black orb]
