Request thread.

What kind of one shot comics are you proposing? Like webcomic style one pagers, or an entire independent arc, ala a commercial one shot?

So are those charred legs at the bottom, or guts?

My best guess would be leg sinew, considering her pelvis seems to be fairly intact.

Either that or I have the wrong idea of what's going where <_<

Holy shit.

Okay, a much shorter synopsis of the story would be appreciated for those of us who are not quite so content to read a wall of text to be able to understand the plot.

We don't need tons of background to understand the basic premise.

For example,

This guy who had a pretty shitty life dies, and it turns out that he sinned too much to go to heaven or any desirable postmortem locale. However, in his favor, he turns out to have the seventh strongest human example of supernatural might in history fused to his soul, so those who preside over the afterlife cut a deal with him; he becomes an angel and works for them to atone for his sins, or burn in hell.

That's what I understood in the plot, at least. I read the entire thing, and I felt that's all that was important for a summary. You lure people in, and then wallop them with the great wall of plot and everything a person needs to know. When advertising, you don't explain everything.

Corsogong.

neither Corsola or Dewgong are, competitively, very good. IMO, Relicanth is the water pokemon with the most coolness.

U know?

At the computer.
And so should you.

If you don't get the hint...
Do the pokemon fusion thing that is so popular, but do it right. As in, not sprite modification.

Also, this means no sprite work, no matter how great u are at fusing

No worries about anything else though.

The problem I'm seeing is that neither of those really exhibit your style. They're pieces that, if ten million people drew them in whatever style, they'd look rather similar.

We can help more if you provide a more complex picture. The first one, for example, is basically a series of circles. The more complex something is, the more your "style"has an influence on it.

If anybody has any tips for painting with acrylics, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Taking a class, I have a little bit of experience.

Have you tried thinning the paint with water? You can't use too much (and too much can really be only a bit of water), or else it becomes transparent, but if you use just a teensy bit, it becomes a lot easier to do detail work, no matter the brush size.

Of course, that depends on how you're trying to paint. My painting teacher goes on and on about "painterly technique", which is basically using a buttload of paint so that the picture has a lot of texture. Basically, it means pulling what Van Gogh did and brushing paint all over the place (Van Gogh was very fond of swirls). Painting like this really means not worrying about technique, though, because big strokes sort of nullify precision.

You can only paint like that if you have a lot of paint, though.

Now for the only actual advice I have, is that it seems you accidentally drybrushed in a few places. As in, there wasn't enough paint or other wet stuff on the brush, so it has sort of a scattered stroke, not full and clean. The fix to this is simple; use alot of paint. Again, this ruins precision a lot of the time, but if you're careful, you won't have to resort to pulling a Jackson Pollock. Also, painting BG before anything else helps alot, but you won't be able to refer to any penciling to stuck on the canvas/paper/cardboard.

Do you use Gesso before painting? I guarantee that it makes the end result look better, as any primer does. The side effect though is making your acrylic dry about twice as quickly, so carefulness.

The only thing that bothers me is that the crown seems to be behind him, if you know what I mean. The glow from the moonlight makes it so the crown doesn't exactly seem to be floating atop his head, if you know what I'm trying to get at.

Also, the moon is sort of egg shaped, but fun fact: it's actually egg shaped IRL, too. We just can't notice it.

That's almost not even a problem, though. I like the character and the scenery, especially the regal mustache that the king of melons is sporting.

Does he reign over Honeydews and Cantaloupes, too?

Level ideas,

Also, how difficult should the final product be, in theory?

Merry Christmas. Fuck "Happy Holidays", if I want someone to have a Happy Hanukkah, then I'll mention it in the same sentence as Christmas.

So what did we all get?

I got a new laptop, Gloves and a fancy hat are gifts that are consistently useful. I got all I really wanted at the time. Funnily enough, I really didn't want much this year.

A few new notebooks too.

Why isn't there a stickam?

Mehs

We're lonely. Don't think I don't know you're all out there.

Wrong. You'd be 200% sexier, not 300%. 100 * 2.

Thanks, it was actually the first time I was seriously using pastels.

Chalk pastels, in case it matters.

My scanner turned its nose up at me after I scanned this. I had more I wanted to stick up, but I'd rather just wait for the scanner to stop having a fit than pick up a camera.

Because the new camera is a pain in the ass to transfer images from.

Part of a series of "classes". You know, video game shit.
I asked a couple of friends how I should dress the warrior class. Immediately one said "fur bikini".

I deviated a bit.

Again, hands and feet not too well defined. I think I should just draw wrists and fingers for a bit.

Fairly old by this point in time.

Maybe a month? I can't remember.

Also, I neglected to finish the feet. I need to practice those more than practicing hands, I think.

I think a lot of people on the forum are trying to improve, and focus more on technique than deeper meaning. Symbolism and abstraction, in my opinion, distract from the actual composition of a piece, which gets in the way of constructive criticism, I think.

Prolly not doing it to the letter right.

Or at all

Oh well. Concept.
