great stuff dude.
really inspiring that you can make something out of random shapes.

woot!!!
you guys are awesome!
your elephants are awesome!
that fucking giraffe is awesome!!

@joe279 life would be really hard if you were an elephant. Especially if your still trying to do human things : )

@ zaci1 elephants are hella hard to draw. But i you did a good job. Kinda abstract kinda childbooky but i like it.

@jeeshwa123 for a couple minutes this is nice. Looks like an elephant fetus. The colors look really nice together.

@cloudeater mah man coming through for team giraffe!!
ill have to back you up before the day is over.

@AjtheRipper lol all of your elephants look fucking creepy as hell. but that's what they should look like if they are raping and t bagging.

be sure to check out AjtheRIpper's song it's good and he only did it in one day.

I like the blue eye the best here... thOUGhts?!

this is pretty cool dude.
i agree that the blue eye is great.
but the rotating head is also really good.

you need darker lines.

this sounds like a brilliant idea.

and those first steps blew me away.

please keep us posted.

His neck may be just a little too long :O

that's why i like it

I quess I should just forget drawing and start writing stories...

jesus.
Im sorry to see you having such a hard problem with this. But, it's supposed to hurt. If art only made you feel good then it would be useless. To get good you have to be willing to have your art live for you.

spend some TIME on it.
it says your 13... usually people dont even start to really 'draw' until they are a bit older.

and your stuff sucks....but only for right now.
I sucked.
I drew like you, but i didn't care when i was 13.
if you start caring right now you will be AMAZING in time.

stop whining
and fucking draw.

hello

cmon you guys

I AM in dA...

dont get angry at me.
get angry at whatever is stopping you from being happy.
whether it's yourself or someone else.

But, you cant really get mad at Newgrounds because nobody is making you stay.

it is important because this is not fucking deviantart.
go to deviantart.com if you really need to.

it's to try and keep a community.
deviantart doesn't have one because there are so many people.
just keep practicing.

Thanks Spac3case916 !
Your opinion is important to me, I love your job !

yeah dude.
show us more!!!

As attached is the required .jpg format, though for a higher quality image please view <img src="http://i597.photobucket.com/albums/
tt60/ZD_Data_Seiryuu/dci.png" border="0" alt="Digivice - Clean PNG version"> and comment on that version instead, thank you.

your making us jump through a LOT of hoops just to comment your stuff.
and by alot i just mean one.

second.
the shading is a nice touch.
but, it's too small to make out a lot of things.
like detail.

Retro from the awesome movie "Dead Leaves"
CHECK IT OUT!!!!!

I don't like the look of his sword arm. Not sure what's wrong with it though.

looks good.
i think it might jsut be an awkward pose.

bump : P

and then add onto it if you feel the need.
but that was some good advice.

hmmm.... well...the thing is "how" to do that effect :/

i know.
that's how.
you draw the blur and not the actual sword.
watch some afro samuria and pass it when he slashes.

i think you'll see it.

24 fps, what does it have to do with it? :O

it has everything to do with it.

that type of animation is called...anticipation i think.
basically our eye cant focus to see the blade come down, to us it's just a blur
so you have to draw the blur and not the sword, which looks increasingly unrealistic as the frame rate goes down.

the colors here are good.
Im not sure whether this should have an outline or not...
i think it should : P

anyway.
your sketches show a lot of promise because you can let your mind wander. (as shown with your random doodles around the main image, mcdonalds, etc.)

the circle REALLY bothers me though.
the shading and highlights dont conform to the shape.
and if it were to be outlined at all the line closest to the light source would be thinner. And the line closes to the shadow would be thicker.

Different kinds of outlines can show:
1. lightsource
2. things closer to you have a thicker outline than those farther
3. to emphasis a subject.

it's all about making the picture legible for the reader.

Make sure that the brush is NOT set to pressure sensitive, and be sure to learn up on the 'onion skin' method, which is when you can see the previous frame.

have you tried those yet?

An example of your stuff would be helpful.
