My first post in the art department, ryuk, death note.

Ixion faythstone, ffx, took me ages. I hope it's visible, I tend to draw very very light.

Gray Fox, metal gear solid.

And last but not least, Vulcan Raven, metal gear solid. I know the gun is way off, but I'm happy with the rest. And the bird. :choc:

Comments are appreciated! I'll post some more soon I guess.

[Rostum]

Looking good Pete. :thumb:

[Slade]

My latest cartoon of the Beatles :D
I'm in the midst of colouring this one.

[scrumpleberry]

Love grey fox, il est tres awesome.

That beatles one is fantastic as well.

[Slade]

Thanks scrumpleberry. Here's a coloured one. I haven't chucked a background on this one yet. Can't seem to make anything psycadelic enough yet, haha.

[KoShiatar]

The Beatles! Yay! I like it.

[Psychokitty]

Only pics I thought were [from scrumplebery's word] awsomesause on the 1st page were from Black Orb and Rocket, and the pics were of Vincent and that Pirate Guy.....

[Psychokitty]

Sketch of Paladin Cecil.

No comment..... O.o *gets afraid of pic and kills self*


I just drew it quick...and yeah I messed up! =P Well, hope you like it! ^^ Btw, I made her up.

What is it? I can't see what it is? :( :mad2:


Wow, first post is already reviving the thread.

I can't tell if it's Male or Female. No compliments on this besides that the musles are good. :(


More Disgaea-y goodness! I was tryng to a full shot of the cut that you get when Flonne is involved in a combo attack, but I didn't have a too much of a reference to go off of so that's why it's different.

The bow should look more 3-Dish to meh, but over all, it's pretty good.


Just a quick Rydia Sktch on Open Canvas.

The face is out of proportion, yet the smiling sun Rox. :D

Holy crap I forgot about that picture . At first I was assuming that you were refering to another picture and then I realized that you basically noticed stuff on the first page.
Yeah my faces are normal now. :D

It is really fun to quick sketch starry night like drawings.

[scrumpleberry]

A little No Need For Bushido fandoodle. I love that comic.

I like the colouring on those beatles.

Here's a sketch of work in progress;

[Rostum]

Here's an eye. IT HAS NO EYE LASHES! :eek: (i.e. Can't be bothered...)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v161/Omecle/eyeWithNoLashes.jpg

[KoShiatar]

I'm impressed. O_O
Why don't you post more often??

[Rostum]

Laziness, that and I only just found out today that Photoshop has airbrush options. I really do need to play around with brush settings and my tablet more often -- though I didn't use a tablet for this, just a mouse and some layer masks.

But thanks! I am really digging the airbrush tools and hope that I will do a lot more with it. :)

[KoShiatar]

You drew THAT with a mouse? *dies*
I'll retire on the spot and never post any art ever again. T_T
Actually no, but you made me feel once again ashamed of how poor my art skills actually are sometimes.

All you need is an artistic eye / talent (which you very much have). In Photoshop, you can click the airbrush tool in the brush tool (if that makes sense) and set Flow to 1%, then you can build up with different colour tones. You can also use smudge/blur tools as well as colour dodge / burn / sponge tools to mix colours together and define specific areas.

It's best to start with large brushes and dark tones, then slowly build up to the highlights.

:) I hope that helps in some way, it's hard to explain in text...

[KoShiatar]

Yeah, that's the method I use (I actually prefer to start working from middle range tones, then add shadows and highlights), but... my results just don't have that quality.
I should take art classes.

Just for curiosity, what's the size/resolution you usually start working from? Your work looks very, very detailed. I recently started working in 600 DPI, 300 not being detailed enough anymore, but I often end up building horribly large files that my computer cannot handle. é_è
How can I avoid that in Photoshop?

[Rostum]

To be honest, I have really just used 72PPI (like the eye), but lately I have been using 150-200PPI and notice a huge difference. I'd say stick with around 200PPI if your computer can handle it (most likely can).

300DPI if you do plan on printing it out -- at least that's what I've been told (use CMYK instead of RGB then).

So yeah, I dunno.

[KoShiatar]

72 DPI? *swoons*
Phew, seems like you give me a run for my money.

[Slade]

How sexy is that eye? Awesome work as usual Omecle :up:

IT'S A FACE! >=O

Did like right now at a paintchat. :razz:

[Avarice-ness]

Double posting, Sorry.

But it's overly elongated fran! =D Done in paint chat.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g89/crimsonh2o/FRAN.png

I'll prolly fix her legs later, since I plan on coloring her.

[KoShiatar]

I like the face, you're making progress in computer coloring.

[Avarice-ness]

I like the face, you're making progress in computer coloring.

Thanks, and yeah it was alot harder to do that face than normal. Normally I color in open canvas or photoshop but this time I was in a paintchat that only had two layers, no ctrl+z option, and I think four tools.

[Rostum]

You should consider not using paintchat. :p

[Avarice-ness]

You should consider not using paintchat. :p

Well, I don't really have anyone to talk to while I use Open Canvas, so I go to Paintchats when I'm lonely or bored enough to want to watch other people draw while I half-ass it. I'm in a art rut so watching other people epically own me makes me feel better somehow. :razz:

She makes me think of Relm.

If Relm was a hooker. :D

I'm never going to be able to get that image out of my head.

:kaodizzy:

[KoShiatar]

*makes a n00bsh face* What's a Paintchat? You made me want to try it.

[Slade]

Avarice-ness and Scrumple's stuffs is always a pleasure to see :bigsmile:
Awesome work you guys :)

[Pete for President]

I really like the viera avarice-ness :choc:

here's one of my latest drawings, inspired by shadow of the colossus and a painting found on deviant-art;

[Rocket Edge]

That's beautiful. You know, it's nice to see a differant approach to a drawing every now and again. I think I might follow suit.

[KoShiatar]

You should try to ink your sketches, both to make them complete works and to get better scans. I wish I would see them then, they look very interesting!

[scrumpleberry]

Haven't put anything up in a while...

The first lady is concept building on some doodles I did of Violet from Mercen-X's contest. (I'm sure I've seen Iris as a roleplay or a story somewhere, but I've never read it so I was just going off the Princess thing.) I don't think this is Violet though - she seems far too vampy.

The second girl just worked nicely, which made me rather chuffed. Although I've just noticed I've declined to draw her hand. It's very small, curled under and her cuff is very big, okay?

The third lady's original design (just a pair of AWESOME thighs with those teeny tiny hotpants) was so much better, but I deleted it, and I tried to reproduce the awesomeness about 8 times, but it did not work. She originally had tiny, scrubby bunches, but I can't really see her as a very bunches sort of person. When I cut them off, I felt like I had to give her some small semblance of femininity, so I gave her a skinny ponytail, but that just looked like a mullet, so I chopped that off and stuck on that ridiculous headdress.

[Rostum]

I really like the middle character, very well done. You should highly consider doing cleaner line work and shade the middle character!

[Avarice-ness]

I GOT BORED LIKE 30 MINUTES AGO! =D

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g89/crimsonh2o/idunno.png

AND THEN I CHANGED THE COLORING UP!

[Kanshisha]

omg~! you guys are so pro!

[Slade]

This is probably the 40th time I've said this but Avarice, you are my favourite artist on the forums. I can't get enough of your stuff! :bigsmile:

Here's a new one I did after seeing the movie Hot Fuzz. Great movie.

[ShunNakamura]

Just a quicky that I did.

No foot because I had no halfway decent references for that pose[Had a couple of the pose but the feet were always cropped off or not visible].

Slade, you should be a cartoonist, The shading of your drawings and the detail in the glasses! good work ^^

[scrumpleberry]

Slade and Avarice are made of win. I like the second version of her better.

BERRY WILL FINISH AN ARTS ONE OF THESE DAYS.

Edit: Thanks very much, I will do my best! I find the toughest part keeping the lines consistent in size...

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k274/scrumpleberry/wip-1.jpg

If anyone has any criticisms, feel free to throw them out here while I'm still doing linings.

[KoShiatar]

I want to see that one finished, I like how you're inking it. Thick lines on the outside and thin on the inside always make for a nice effect, hide small faults and give that nice Art Nouveau touch.

[black orb]

>>> FF1 Black Wizard drawing, I`ll try to color it in photoshop.
2007 was a bad year for my art, I hope things improve in 2008.

[Kanshisha]

Wow! really cool! at first i thought it was cloud! ^^

[scrumpleberry]

lawl, love the monster pete.

Generally speaking, I suck at drawing boys (they either turn out girls or about 5 years old) so this piccy of Locke with no room for Rachel on the left made me quite chuffed. He...he still looks kind of like a girl though. If you think his expression is a bit weak for such a vibrant character, me too. I changed his eyebrows because before it looked as though he was about to murder Rachel. I kid you not. EYEBROWS DETERMINE THE FUTURE.

These two are really good sketches :) Especially the second one - I like that you're using two different colours in it.

Thanks very much :D

This is unfinished awesomesauce girl. She's going in my next sig, but I'm not sure what to do with her. Any advices or suggestions would be awesomesauce.
