a bit of what I can do ^_^

[opium.exe]

ok ok , welcome to my little world of drawing, everything is hand-made, still no modification in photoshop or painter, I only adjusted the brightness so it's easier to look at (the scanner I used is kinda dirty)

the armored girl is the only one I made on normal paper, the others are from my big sketch book made of recyclable (omg the spelling) paper and it looks yellow Ô_ô

anyway, hope you like them ^_^

[opium.exe]

attachment didn't work, I dunno why, I'm gonna try again, sorry Ô_ô

[Agent Proto]

Well, you can post them all in here. Just one reply at a time.

[opium.exe]

omg lol, my files simply astonishingly too big !!

I'll find a way to make them smaller

[opium.exe]

I tried lots of things, zip files doesn't seem to work as wel as I planned, so I made the image smaller here it is (the only one still viewable when small)

[Daedra]

Wow !

Impressive work, I like that style !

* waits for the other pictures *

[opium.exe]

heh thx
I dunno when I'll be able to show you the other pictures
I'll work at it very soon, gotta find a way to make the file smaller (if anyone knows how tell me plz !)

[Daedra]

Can't you just use phtoshop, or even Irfanview (I do not know whether ACDSee is able to do it) to compress your picture ?

That is, remove blank space, resize the pic a bit, and maybe decrease the quality.

EDIT : I just resized the file (still 1280 * 900 or something like that) and removed empty space, and the file is 136k (instead of 850)

Hum... how on earth do you get a file attached ? :p

[opium.exe]

quality decreasing, thx I never thought of that, I'll try it out right now ^_^

[Daedra]

Ok, I just have to make a new reply to attach a file.

And quality has not been decreased here.

[opium.exe]

ok here it comes, thx to daedin, he got the idea and now I'm lunching the final assault all in line

[opium.exe]

3 more ...

[opium.exe]

2 left ...

[opium.exe]

the final, in color:

what do you think of them ? (omg finaly mde it Ô_ô)

[Daedra]

Great !

I most love the first and the last. Simply awesome :)

Btw, how much time does it take for you to draw such a picture ?

[opium.exe]

hmm, it depends
there is the sketching, pre-final drawing with pencil then inking

if I have to think of an outfit it bacomes way longer

I think 6-7 hours for the armored girl (the outfit was about to make me cry)
about 5 for the bloody empaled girl (she's not inked)
4 hours for the angel girl
and 3 hours for the one in color ( it goes fast with color and I never thought about the armor, just drew the first thing I had in mind)
I wanna put them all in cg color later...

[Stayin Dizzy]

Uber awesome and of much coolness. the attachment drawing 3 was my fav

[opium.exe]

this one contains some idea of my friend, she got some cool ideas some time and I like to draw them ^_^
espacialy the fire dress
thsi one is not my usual style anyway, I'm going darker and darker muhahaha loll

[Ultima Seraph]

Wow! Very nicely done! I likes your style... a lot. ^^

The only nit-picky thing I have to add is the anatomy needs a little work... it looks like you enjoy drawing rather long torsos. ^^; In the first pic, also, the foreshortening is a little odd, but I really think that it could be fixed with some shading... mebbe a little line-reworking, too.

Anyway... a good way to judge body size is the average body size is 7 1/2 heads tall. ^^

Keep up the nice work! YAAY! ~gives a cookie~

[opium.exe]

hmm cookies !! lol, thanx for the advice, I.ll try to work on it...

[Ultima Seraph]

I actually just thought of something: Burne Hogarth's books. I trained myself on those books during high school. ^^ His books sell for about 15 US dollars, but they're well worth the investment.

Of course, with anime, style is everything, so you may or may not want to do this.

And no frowns! I loooooove your work!

[black orb]

>>> Those are some great pictures, the way you draw the girl`s hair remind me Saint Seiya..

[Shlup]

They're all great! I think I like the second on the best. Good proportions!

[opium.exe]

thx again guys

the hair look like saint seiya ........ ?, maybe... I just know there is something called saint seiya, I never looked at it but it could be

ultima, you really lost me there, what are you talking about ?
