Colonel's Art

[ColonelMagus]

The title of the topic is sort of sarcasm you could say, cause what I make isn't really that good, but I'm a newbie at drawing, but I'd like to be better. I thought I'd make a topic here to show you guys some stuff I draw since sketches and stuff you don't consider "complete" can't be posted in the art portal, and also because for some reason, I can't post anything in the art portal. It gives me an error.

Anyways, I'll upload stuff here as I go, but most of the drawings I make are either in Photoshop or in Flash, you'll probably be able to tell (flash has way smoother lines, lol.) And please don't tell me I'm not a Picasso, cause I know. lol
Get ready for Colonel's wacky art.

This one is of Cubone, and I drew it in Photoshop while looking at another picture of cubone as reference.
I know, it looks a little choppy cause I was using the pencil and I wasn't using a high enough resolution or something, lol

I should probably add that I use a tablet.
Aiptek Slim Tablet 600U Premium II, long name, but it works!

Here's another drawing I made of Cubone, but this one was for the Show Me Your Pokemanz! topic.
So it's NSFW, but TOO LATE, you already saw it.... sorry...

How about a zombie Hitler?
I'll post more when I make more.

This has been happening a fair bit lately. Maybe try changing your image size, or the browser that you're using. It's being worked on.

We're welcome to everyone, not just the fantastically amazing artists. Hell, my art is pretty weak, but I've still posted it here in the past. Regardless, this is a place where you can come and grow and learn.

Yeah, when using photoshop, use the brush tool. Unless you're going for something more pixely, avoid the pencil tool.

Yeah, I talked to BFP about it, he said some people were having that issue, so he was gonna see if the developers could look into it. And thanks, I'll see if I can improve over time. Hmm, I didn't want the edges to look too blurry either, but I could probably use a pretty hard brush, still better than pencil. I still like how flash just smooths everything out on the go. It's a good starting point anyways.

This is a sketch of le Frenchie!
I just call him Frenchie cause he's supposed to be french.
Giant fucking snail on his head is cause french people love snails.

[ColonelMagus]

Here's frenchie in le complete form!
He is one sexy bitch!

[ColonelMagus]

So I just finished creating a background picture for my YouTube channel.
It's pretty small, but it's supposed to wrap or repeat in all directions to fill in empty space.
I made 6 versions of this, but I'll just show you a merge of all 6.

Let me know what you think!

So I drew the Triforce to use it as a thumbnail on my Let's Play: Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time videos.
I'm actually happy with how the highlights came out.

The Arwing from Star Fox 64

I'm not too familiar with the game, but the design looks great. Feels very 3D!

Really like the lines on this. I know some people like a more consistent outline, but I like the way yours bend naturally.
