[A] scrumpleberry's WIPs...

No, these aren't finished. Yes, I figured I'd upload it in time for teh ciddies. I don't think any of them'll be done in time tbh xD

There would be a bunch of sketches as well but, alas, my scanner ist still kaput.

If you want to see any finished works go to my devART (linked in sig) BUT BEWEAR THEY ARE A BIT RUBBISH

I really like them. Especially the last one.

I adore your style/way of drawing. The loose-ish lines really appeal to me, and bring some personality to the drawings :) I also dig that you were able to draw that many emotions :thumb:

scrumpleberry's whips WIPs are awesome
great work as always

Ms. Bluehair reminds me of Francezka von Karma. :jess:

Nice work!

Thanks a bunch guys :D

Soz fo' double post...is neccesary to be noticesd


FuRuBa's Kagura Sohma! Birthday present for a friend, I need to get it finished for thursday. I have to say, I am particularly excited to see how her necklace turns out.

It was originally going to have Tohru in as well, but she just looked awkward with the way i'd placed Kagura.

I'll put the finished version up on Thursday

*must finish by Thursday...must finish by Thursday!!!*

Whoa, I really like the face/expression sheet. I really need to do one for some of my characters!

Also, I can't wait to see that finished Kagura picture!

You have a very interesting drawing style, scrummies! I like the Angry and the Ill/Nauseous expressions in the first post! :D

Are you going to put any of these up when they are completed?

Oh I love your style, I swear I posted in here already.=/ I must of forgot to post it. Well I love your new drawing, she looks so cute. I want her necklace. ^_^

KAGURA IS DONE

FULLY DIDS!

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...chanbdayyy.jpg

How cool! Are those programs free? o_o That's a cute new drawing!!! =DDD

openCanvas is free :spin:

Lucca's just woken up. Marle is talking at her. Lucca wants Marle to shutupherfacealready. Not really a wip, but she doesn't deserve her own thread really ;)

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...hutupmarle.jpg

I FIXED MY SCANNER AFTER LIKE 2 YEARS!

Result? Freaking. MASSIVE. Sketchdump.

MASSIVE. This is only part 1.

Sorry about my writing, the text tool in PSP is officially retarded and I h8 it 4eva. I tried doing the introductory bit with it and spent about 15 minutes trying to get it right before I was like "SCRU DAT." Seriously, can anyone tell me why the hell they made it so useless?

Lookie here, photobucket has filesize limits ;)

Love your sketches, and Kagura is very nice too! :D

I've said it before, but I'll say it again: You're very talented! Keep it up!

she dun did its
AT LAST
please click here photobucket and imageshack are faffy and reduce quzlities.

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7500/hmmdb1.png
will also be dids eventually. hmm colouring and lining in psp8 yes i still haet it but opencanvas makes everything transparent which is a bitch for backgrounds.

there's an ffvi thing as well but it needs a crapload of fixins.

pee. ess. this seems like a good place to ask, who was it that improved my sig so massively? :love:

Gee, I don't know, who would possibly do a thing like that? :greenie:

Also while I'm here, and this may sound weird, but I love how you do eyebrows.

I adore these sketches! You're really talented, scrumply dear. :jess:

Thanks guys :)))) Rye needs to do moar art :(

I love your style scrumpy.

AND I LOVE YOURS BUT YOU NEVER UPLOAD ANYTHING MAAAAAN D:<

Whoring out my art because Gobo told me to. Noone ever does visit my levianart, do they? :kaocry2:

Now you've really gone and hurt me. Deep down inside. :cry:

Will (ink and) watercolour these. I am crap at watercolour. If ANYONE has ANY TIPS OR CRITICISMS AT ALL or knows ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH WATERCOLOURS, please please please help me out. This is why I put all of my crap up here, for criticism and help. Please do so :(

I'm really hoping this last one will be a very good piece when it's finished. So if you have any little thing to say about it at all, please please tell me :o Other than Terra's freakish sword arm, which I've just noticed and fully intend to fix.

YOU ALL COMPLETELY SUCK SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO WITH YOUR LACK OF CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM >:(

I was so disheartened after these two I couldn't bring myself to finish the others. (Although that second one is going in my next sig)

>>> Not bad, I used to paint with watercolor pencils before I got the tablet..
As for the drawings, if you are aiming for a cartoonish style, then you are making a great job.
If you want to go for a more realistic style then you should try drawing some human anatomy.

Well I kind of hoped they manage to look stylised but not completely two-dimensional and dispoportionately hideous..

I have this book and it proved extremely good for learning watercolor.

Thank you! I'll have a look :o

I have to say first that your style is very unique and it makes your art really pop out. I love the first one, her dress is just gorgeous, but she looks a bit too thin.

For the second, well the idea behind her design looks like a great concept, her head and hair are just too big for her body to support. So you might want to either shrink her head or enlarge the rest of her body, probably a mixture of both. Once that is done she will look absolutely stunning. :D

The first is a model x) So yeah, she's a bit of a coathanger. And the second one was meant to be sort of super-deformed :o but if she still looks a bit weird I can thicken up the rest of the body next time.

Okay, here is my attempt at constructive criticism for your last post, although I've already told you I'm not very good at it. xD

The first girl has a very nice outfit and hairdo, but her pose and expression are both sort of uninteresting. She's not really doing anything, and it makes the picture a bit dull to look at, which leads me to the second girl:

This one, on the other hand, has a more dynamic pose. Her hair gives the picture gravity and pull and clearly defines one main point of interest, the face. Her face, however, is a bit bland. The expression tells no tales, so to say. The differently coloured eyes give back some visual interest to the face, though. I love how you coloured this piece! The hair ornaments and overall quirky drawing style are great, too.

Thanks to everyone who's posted! I really really appreciate all of this, so thank you very much :heart:

Rantz, I tried to make the second look kind of, I dunno, apathetic and tired? Maybe I didn't push it enough. I'll keep that in mind.

double post gasp yes I know, sorry sorry

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/46be10d8.jpg

hair phailure. Everything I want badly to look good turns out the worst ):< Terra's dress is pretty much the only redeemable quality this thing has.

I dunno, I also like how you did Celes' butt. :jokey: I also like the colouring of her blue tunic thing.

a proofs

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/37a191ef.jpg

proofs that i am not dead, i am working on the ff 500 thing, also on another collab with a friend. damn you hands.

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/75f33b57.jpg

Boudica if she were a complete pansy.

Watercolour pencil & pen!

WITTY COMMENT.

(I really dig the hair)

oh scrumppy!you never fail to amaze me! kudos my dear cookie monster...kudos!

more FF500 project, the thing with my friend I don't think I should show you until it's done, because it's hers as well...

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/acb8cbf6.jpg

If it looks like the colours are kind of dark, I'm sort of going to try and make her look luminescent and shiny by starting dark and buidling up the light? I dunno.

FINISHHHHH

if you want to full view it visit my devart dag nab it!

I like it!

You know... a lot of your drawings look like something you'd find in a fashion designers sketch book. I would know because one of my friends is majoring in fashion designing where I'm going to school.

Thanks! I'd love to be a fashion designer, and yeah fashion figures are so much fun to draw, they're wonderful. I don't know if I've got the talent though, and I certainly wouldn't fit into the industry.

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/a31b6e96.jpg

Playing at being a suckier Emmy Cicierega!

This is a shockingly fun and easy way to do your flats! I love it.

I'm lovin Leonidus (sp?) <3 :love:

I went through your Dev Art there to look at your gallery. I'll give a go at analzising your stuff.

Hilda; This is a great piece of work. I love the expression on her face. Its like shes silently content about something. That to me has to be one of your best assets. You can sketch faces with the ability of leaving a lingering emotion. The colours complement each other perfectly. The thing above her head is ace, the dress immaculate, and likewise hair. The whole package is, to put it simply, great.

Theres a couple of other ones there that are excellent also. I'm happy that you did Boudica & another one in watercolour pencils. If theres a medium that suits your flowing style, then watercolour pencils (& pen) are it IMO. It gives them life.

You should really look into that. Your drawing style suits it too.

Anyways... Your style is very distinctive, while still being great. That's hard to do. Its clear that there is a stellar progression in your ability since you started posting here. Its more consistant. I remember when you did Maria a while back and just lovin' it. However, some aspects of your work tended to be slightly off in places. Now your drawings are smoother, also the proportion and everything is spot on. But theres always room for improvement. I'm guessing you put in an effort to work on this. Keep up the good work, i'll be checking back here! :monster:

SD3 Angela in ms paint: to practise my patience, ms painting, scrupulous attention to detailing and colour coordinating, also because my OC 4.5 demo ran out and I am not yet rich enough to buy the full thing, also because Psy accused me of drawing girls with skinny legs (THEY ARE MODELS OKAY) and even though Angela looks skinny in her character art I always imagine her to be packing it rather in the behind :O so yeah there we go. also it is small because photobucket >( and i forgot to customise the options

edit: oh yes and before my demo died i did some more to the sucky emmy picture and i had a tiny bit of relm done xDD

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/fc659031.jpg

I WAS PLAYING WITH LAYERS OKAY SHUT UP >(

Angela's been worked on a bit
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...rry/angela.jpg
Hand dilemma:
1. They're way too small
2. I will not be able to make them look as good again no matter what I do if I try and draw them again bigger.
have loads of sketches scanned but cba to upload them

also, bad paint doodles

EOWYN DREAMS OF A GREAT WHALE SWEEPING ACROSS THE COUNTRYSIDE :(

grandia fixation from about a month back, i still can't draw puffy >|

I like Angela's pose except for the right (viewer's right) arm which seems a little awkward. The left hand reminds of Quentin Blake style which is awesome.

Oh mah gawd, I forgot how much I loved your stuff. Angela is gonna turn out great, I can already tell. I need to start scanning my tons of sketches....

Also...
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...y/f8c47e70.jpg
This is gooooorgeousss!

maybe *you* dont' like how celes and terra came out *late* but I do!

also opencanvas netdraw party sometime amirite?

I do not know how to use it! I really do not! Xplane it to me and I'd happily draw with you :bigsmile: I'd have to use version 1 though because I haven't bought the latest one yet :o

Thank youu~ Scan moar >/

it's okay, 1.1 is the only one that does it!

:up: Still have noooo idea how to go about it though!

So miss fashion designer, looks like you're into kinky naughty nothings. ;)

Scrump, my darling, you want to be a fashion designer too!?

Pipe dreams, my darling. I have a lot of them. Don't seriously expect that I'll be good enough or be able to fit into the industry. Also, neotifa, what?

Huh? Didn't in your first post you said you wanted to be a fashion designer or something.??? And half the pics the girls look like their wearing lengirie (sp?)

Lingerie? Which ones? If you mean the Angela one, she's dressed like that because the character is a bit of a whore.

Oh, lol. Designing lingerie (thnx for the correction btw) is a respectable art.

Honey, that is not the right attitude! If you set your mind to it, YOU CAN DO IT!

We can collaborate on sexy cocktail dresses and lingerie! :bigsmile:

Sketchdump, spoiler tagged because it's very very big AND it stretches the tables, so bewear.

sketchdump~http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/315...mmer09dump.png

I will beat this block. Might edit in other pix later.

I really, really like how you aren't afraid to exaggerate certain features on the body and the fashion itself. The big hair, small waist, and long legs do remind me of sketches from a fashion designer. n_n

You have incredible talent and I'm so impressed with how much sketching you actually do!

That sketchdump just completed my life. You're soooo good, and have such a unique, but versatile style! I can see you working in animation/illustration, young lady! ;)

I didn't know a spoiler tag could hold so much awesome. your style is fantastic. Grandia pic is magical and I think the internet would break from awesomeness was colored.

only issues I have is that Tonks only has half a neck D: But other than that she is stunning.

Is the Castle pic based on the book or the movie?

Thanks everyone, you're all far far too kind and lovely! :heart: Working on 6 more things, I'll post when finished.

Qwert: yes her neck is weird, I didn't notice until I'd sent it to Rye. I cropped out half of the weirdness actually xD

It's a mix. I cannot imagine a ginge Sophie, or one with lots of hair, so this one has the short hair of the movie and has either very very dark brown hair or very metallic silver. Also Heen is there because he's brilliant and I love his little sticky legs and feet. Also, Sophie isn't wearing the film dress because it's terrible (Howl would never let her wear it tbh), and she doesn't have the film face because Miyazaki's girls, while fabulous, all have really boring faces.

This is the only believable ginge Sophie I've seen. I'll give you this as well, because it's smurfing awesome.

spoiler tagged for hideousnesshttp://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...ry/angelaw.jpg

Here is something I did ages ago, more watercolour phail to put you on until the next piece (lmaozers) also what the hell way to totally lose my original face designs and turn her into some sort of plastic trollhag. I would fix it but cba to face her again and then rescan her. Also I am acutely aware of all the hideous errors present because it was rather a few months ago, so thx but don't bother yourself with anatomical critique if any comes to mind.

hello eoff i am too lazy to crop or resize things I cried aloud with mirth and merriment i will remember next time i promise :Xhttp://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...erry/terra.jpg

here is a recent Terra. Tried to evoke some sort of emotive feeling or atmosphere or wildness or ethereal wondrousness with that - failyard >Z

What's that? You'd simply love to hear my emo blargh incompetence rant? Well here you go then!

I really want to get good at watercolours. I just don't think anything works for me apart from pen or pencil and it's so frustrating. I love using OC and and all that jazz but the end product is always so awful when I try to do something properly. It feels so boring and clunky. I can't take anything past doodles and simple lining without killing it.

Well, none of this will matter once I've figured out how to steal people's talent. Dynast, Slade, Rocket - you're first on the list. Bewear >)

Have a lot of digital stuff in the works. Also, I need to do less fnarts - it's not that I don't have any ideas, I just never follow through with them because I get sick of them. Fnarts you have a template which is lovely and sort of dissapates most of my cba.
