You my friend are a god!. lol that is what I was picturing when I originally made him. ^^ he's a little different now in my mind just cause my storyboard has changed quite a bit. But to see him in that detail just frankly takes my breath away.

lolz. Sorry I run on pepsi not paint.

Here is a random chibi of myself. Creepy isn't it. Took me about 45 minutes to do this. Umm thats fast for me isn't that scary to all you speed drawers.

I wish I could draw in 15 minutes. A snail draws faster then me. You guys rock!!!

This still isn't right but its getting better. I rushed the last one so the hair is off in the back but the face is closer to what I want. At least its less gundam wing-ish. Anyways I'll keep drawing him since each round of this he's getting better and better. Hopefully soon I can get ahold of of some copic markers so I can learn how to color with them. Any ideas on shadows on white hair? I tried the cross hatch and unlike 50s peices of work, it just doesn't look right.

Thanks 50. Like I said you can draw mine any time. I like your style. =)

Well If I was going to far I would like to apologize. But I'm not making any insults am I? I just drew his character lol. Yeah the feet see does seem very incorrect in terms of anatomy I'll try to get on that. And thanks a lot.

That is a character though. You can draw mine all you want after I finish them but its really hurting him. That character he kind of views as part of him. Please just give him a break. Anyways I'm working on mine again can't wait to put them up.

I'm almost back. Must....survive...till... Tuesday. College is a killer. Anyways, hopefully I can work on my character sketch and well pretty much be able to draw what I want for a change instead of *cringe* cubism. I'll put more stuff up once my college temporarily hands me back my soul for a small week before summer term. Taking a break from art classes but I am proud to announce I am starting private lessons. Really looking forward to that. Talk to you all when I can.

WHAT THE FUCK! I was promised sinners like me would be left on earth to soak in anarchy. Im fucking pissed, i had all the kitchen knives sorted out, a machete i sharpened very well, and hobo battle armor i will never use....i want some sort of compensation for the money and time i wasted preparing for my manhunt.

Well that is the most unique way of preparing for a rapture lol. I only found out the day before it was happening I've been laughing my head off. Maybe thats cause I'm a sinner.

lol your really drawing him. So it wasn't a joke. ^^ He looks great so far.

I still don't know how to use the thing other then a mouse.

At least your not having my issue. My tablet wasn't working since I realized I was using the wrong tablet pen. =( guess I should have been a blonde.

Thanks that should help me alot

Here facial design # 2. I'm kind of weaker on side view. I have to now redesign gear. I can't wait till I get to the point were I can do a image full shot were I can put in all the tips I've gotten from all of u.

I'm also watching the last season og Yu Yu Hakusho since they never showed it on Toonami to my knowledge.

lolz glad I can inspire

I'm stuck looking up real ones and figuring out how to draw them. At least I get to see a huge amount of cool weapons. Sadly, I keep picturing them all lining my living room wall. T.T

Wow the boot and the sword are really good. I'm still learning to draw those correctly

I'm writing that down on my list for me as well ^^

The thing about this forum is that if you're modest, take criticism well, and show a desire to improve your abilities, people are usually pretty affable and will try to help you get where you want to be.

But if you can't take criticism well, proclaim yourself better than you are, and argue with those that would try to help you, people will tear your head off.

I guess that is the difference. I know I have a long way too go and I love feed back, but I use to be up-tight about it. Back in high school if anyone said anything I'd get quiet and just stop trying. Don't know when or why that went away but glad it did. Just the practice I've gotten form draw for newgrounds in the last week has been helpful. Sadly I'm starting to go over board with it. I was sitting in class twitching cause all I wanted to do was come home and draw.

Really good. All those things I was told were unfounded. I am a die hard gundam wing fan so you'll see that in lots of things I do.

It takes time. Heck my reference art will always be better then my originals. The point is keep trying. Don't expect everything to be reviewed. On my thread I post things just to hear myself talk lol. You get some every now and again which is cool. Just don't ask for it since it might make you seem demanding.

And make sure you take note on what they do say. I make a record of every bit of feed back. Sometimes it helps to look back at it.

I'd like to see more, and even more specifically, I'd like to see the video cover thingy

lol its scary. Really bad really this was back in 2002 when I first started. The only saving grace was it was far easier to copy something I was looking at rather then anything original. Its still really bad makes me cringe looking at it.

lol irony I love that manga and anime. I guess I got a little bit from that since I watch it so much but I was actually looking over about three of my various art books to draw that. I don't like copying but at the same time a lot of my style mimics it cause thats how I learned. I use to draw Quatre's video cover over and over again. I actually have one I colored somewhere let me see if I can find it.

Still working on my comic character redesign. Got the front face done. Still have to do back and 3/4 view as well as back and front full figure.

Woot Page 2! This one I got bored and drew. Toying with the idea of a signature picture.

Cheers!

Can you display some?

Not really sure. I attempted the thing twice and I was tryin to talk as much as I could the second time to get anything to happen. Everyone is different. I think its some are left brained, right, or centered. If you centered nothing probably will happen at all so that might be you.

Yeah sure, with one is Rimm?

lol It is the comic book cover art. I have to redo the image of him first. I have different idea to revamp. Make him less girly though most elf types are anyways. Oh here is atempt # 2

The atempted didn't go so good. =( good thing its saved on my computer. Shows I need work. Messed up heavily on the rightside so tried to turn it into shading it needed anyways. Messy as it is still glad I tried at least. I'll keep practicing.

Nice character you made, you should make a comic or something.

Probably not a good idea. Seeing how I know wes somehow it would turn about and bit me on the backside. Somehow I already think he thinks of me as a traitor.
