Dammit, no idea about the last one. Frustration!!!

Dang.
I can't believe it.
It's a pity, I was thinking the guy's kinda nice... But when he had the chance to sort things up, bam, he goes and blows it real bad. Yesterday morning, I had a look to his art gallery and I liked what I saw. I thought he had potential, and rated accoordingly to that.
... But that attitude... Not. And the things you said... I suggest you to think over those. You acted as the typical guy who likes to troll around and your statements were really weak.
I saw myself somewhat reflected in your drawing 'cause I think many of the popular comic and animated japanese series are really stale or just plain bad, and I think those feed trends of hating like yours. There has been a creative crisis ocurring in the commercial anime/manga scene during some years and it has become less and less interesting since.
But you won't see me throwing away a whole industry or dissing its professionals only because I don't like the products they're making right now. And, if you can't find a product you like, you only have to seek further. We don't live in Japan, we don't have access at all the whole amount of comics and anime that are produced there in a mind-blowing rate. And I'm not talking about all the classics already available...
And I don't think turning into that old grumpy geezer who's always saying "Everything was better before" can be so appeaing... I don't want to turn into a fossil, that's for sure.

Enough droning. Nantes, I'd really be pleased if you came back to this thread (with a better attitude, that is.) and besides...

It lends itself much more to blending than solid areas of color. Posterized pics would work well with pretty much anything BESIDES charcoal.

Is the objective making the final REALLY look like posterized?
Maybe they just were told to use a posterized photo just to get the attention to shapes and volumes and use that as a hint to draw and shade the picture as the charcoal is meant to be used...
... but traditionally you just squint your eyes for that, am I right?
'Cause if they want it the other way... Ornery has all the right to piss on them art teachers.

Bizarro's Fantasy Archaetypes (7 of 7)
This one's older than the others... but it works fine as an ending image.

Well, that's the end for now. I hope you liked them.
If you feel like drawing elves and unicorns, remember this thread!

What about the obviously unhumanoid characters? Here's the Tattoed Troll to fill that gap.

Bizarro's Fantasy Archaetypes (5 of 7)
Sword and Sorcery. There has been a lot of brawn already, so here comes the Sorceress.
No heroic barbarian trusts in witchcraft, but with this type of magician, they're really prone to be fooled at least once.

You noticed the thong on that hunk above?. I bet he's of the lecherous, unsatiable type.
He sure has a lot of young Slaves in his evil lair. No doubt about it.

Bizarro's Fantasy Archaetypes (3 of 7)
The Evil and Fearsome Doom=Bringer, The Dark Overlord.
Ooh, that's how I like them: large, beefy and wearing HUGE HORNED HELMETS that hide the face.You can't go wrong with those.

Bizarro's Fantasy Archaetypes (2 of 7)
The nimble, cunning Swordwoman. You know you like see bikini-clad babes making mincemeat of random goons.

I thought about resurrecting this thread because of two main reasons:
a) Giving another chance for people to admire Pancake's art. And, Pancake, if you can read this, come back.
Hey, at least I tried. You can never have "too much" talent gathered in the 'grounds. Fortunately we got sucho and some other amazing creature artists to delight us with their imaginative ways to render flesh and bone...
b) With a name like this, it's a pity not to reuse the thread. I believe strongly in bandwidth economy and I'm sure a LOT of you like to draw monsters, elves and such creatures of the genre.

Thus, I decided to post these old (scanned in 2007) sketches of mine. I feel somewhat embarrased to post these scribblings next to Pancake's hard-worked illustrations... But someone has to break the eggs.

Bizarro's Fantasy Archaetypes (1 of 7)
The heroic, muscle-bound Barbarian. 'Cause there's no such thing as Heroic Fantasy without one.

OF COURSE.

its the character im not too familiar with, only seen art but never cared at the moment to look it up or find out where it came from, and when you think about it, there is so much you can actually have seen and read before you go and say you know everything. no one really is a full blooded otaku unless they have gone through the mounds of thousands of things that is anime and manga.

Indeed, but a little curiosity won't hurt the kitty. When you like something, it's natural to feel interested in knowing more about the things you crave. There are serious and professional articles, reviews and books about the history of manga and anime. You have the 'net, with wikipedia an' all (And I DON'T, by the way.) You have resources to fix that for FREE. Just get to it.

i have not scratched too much of the surface myself maybe seen and read over 60+ know the art of 80+ but thats all.

I preferred not to know about such precise figures...

oh, and if your wondering why i dont tend to look up anything anymore, well due to the fact that i hate Reading manga on the computer and i really love watching anime in jap with subs on. i barly have enough money to buy all that i want (and i have a huge list), and well id rather go buy a game for 60 dollors a lot of the time. so i try to stay away from finding something new that i know ill get right into. out of everthing i have seen and read, i have only hated 2 things. DBZ (after freza saga) and (i cant remember).

Enough. I won't waste more time with this. You wanted drama, you'll get it.
I really apologize if I sounded harsh. It was not my intention to attack you in any way.
Nobody is asking you to be a walking encyclopedia of Anime. There's the 'net already for that.
...But you have to know about the essentials. Not only Ranma 1/2 or Inu-Yasha can be better understood (I mean the "Why are like that", not the story itself) if you know about Urusei Yatsura... You trace back almost every "Harem" romantic comedy nowadays to that series (Or things like the completely inane To Love-Ru... ).

my closet.

UNCALLED FOR. If you want to show about your private life, zoom in so that we can actually distinguish SOMETHING (Waitaminute... That's Azumanga Daioh... Good one.)

MAN, There was anime and manga before Evangelion, you know.
I mean, you opened a thread called "Anime"... Some elemental knowledge about the topic would be expected from the thread opener, don't you think so?
I mean, you can't call yourself Otaku if you don't know about Urusei Yatsura. It's MANDATORY.
I suggest you fix that gap in your fanaticism history RIGHT NOW.

I drew this at work in like 2 minutes and then left it on the lunch table. When I returned for it my coworkers had written on it.

What did they write..?

OH NOES! It's teh Evil Tinkerbell!!!11 She's liek Tinkerbell, but she's bad!! RUN RUN TO THE HILLS.

I couldn't help it, Dommi. ;D

I assume you're now noticing that you have the same picture uploaded twice now, aren't you?
Maybe it was an occasional glitch and your image was uploaded despite the error message...
I don't know if there's any definitive way of deleting an image without asking a mod... I'd like to know.

I grew up reading italian Disney comics. A recurrent topic in them was Mickey Mouseworking as a detective... He searched for clues, questioned the witnesses and used violence only when there's no other possible way... Recently I thought it'd be cool to see a detective Donald. He has a short temper, so he'd fit in a more violent type of detective... One of the likes of writers like Dashiell Hammet or Mickey Spillane... Something more hard-boiled... One guy who uses brawns over brains... And furry fatales, of course!

dont stop, stopping is bad as you have to try to pick up the pace again... love how you keep doodling as well... *mega amounts of praise!*

...And I was thinking of having some rest... 'K, I'll have to keep on drawing! I feel a bit flattered, but thanks a lot for your words of support!
And a bonus: before the sheet posted above, I tried these. Maybe you can see what I was talking about when referring to the "ugly sketches"

I didn't see that coming from you, but, given the fact that one of the major influences of Toshio Maeda(Urotsukidoji, La Blue Girl) is Go Nagai (Devilman, Violence Jack), it had to come out eventually...

Well... Lately, I found hard to draw calmly. My sketches come out rushed and quite ugly to see. So I decided to try some inking, and have some practice...
... Although, recycled paper is not the best surface to try it...

After my last comment (Which I must admit, I'm regretting a bit for it.) I remembered there were actually transformers with facial hair in Transformers 2010. And that linked with another idea.
If you know any easy way to change color I'd like you to try purple/violet instead of silver as main color, that way and adding some crown-like spikes to the head you could turn Megatron into...

I'm just plain useless in bitmap.
I've tried it again as a little practice using Kraig's template but... It's not really good.
Anyway I could have learned something... Maybe I shouldn't give it up yet.
This is what came off. And no, this one's not entering.
I'll appreciate all pieces of advice I can get. Thank you.
