[Visual] Let's look at Yossy's art.

Meandered through my photobucket account and found some stuff to share.  Most of these are already in my online gallery and my deviart account, so if you've already looked through those there are very few new things here.  (Also, if you're interested in knowing more about any of these pics, you can look it up on either of those places for a longer description and other whatever.)

Firstly:  The drawing that appears in my avatar.  I have been absolutely in love with this character ever since the first Brawl trailer was released.

Spoiler for:

Ness because Earth Bound is awesome.  If I'm remembering correctly, I drew this when I first heard that Arrowone was making an Earth Bound game.  I had colored it then, too, but I gave it a recolor recently and this is the result.

Spoiler for:

Roy's our boy, Roy's our boy, Roy's our boy.

Spoiler for:

Gal dressed like one of my favorite new pokémon.  Outlined and colored in Flash, which was fun.  I had way too much fun drawing in the swirly floral background here.

Spoiler for:

Miscellaneous things drawn with my tablet one day (the third one is sort of a self-portrait).

Spoiler for:

Olivia, a character from Animal Crossing.  I don't know if this is a furry or what.

Spoiler for:

Okay, this is one of my favorite things here.  n_n  If you have played Phantom Hourglass then you will recognize this style of art.  When I'm not creating digital art, I love love LOVE making things with paper, like collages or just cute cutouts.  Creating that same look on a computer was an interesting experience.

Spoiler for:

Very first thing I got to color with my tablet.  This was my Christmas gift to my very special someone.  He's a huge Kirby fan, if you couldn't tell, and we had been talking about Brawl just before discussing our Christmas gift exchange.

Spoiler for:

Random two more images added February 4:

Aww, it's so adorable to see Fierce Deity Link trying to look intimidating but the rest of the world is like "awww he's so cuuuute."

Spoiler for:

This guy goes by the name of Arc, but his real name is Prince Arrow and OH MY GOD I LOVE DRAWING HIS HAT.  This is what he looks like in the anime he is from (Petite Princess Yucie, which is based on the Princess Maker games).

Spoiler for:

Awesome! I'd have to say my favorites were the Roy one, the Phantom Hourglass one, and the Kirby gift exchange. 

I get a kind feeling from these. No violence or anything. That's good^^

Also, they are awesome <3

Yeah, I'm not a very violent person at all.  n_n

I just noticed, though, that everything I listed here is all fluffly lighthearted colorful stuff.  While it's true that images of this nature do make up most of my portfolio, I do also draw dark and serious (and yes, even violent) works of art from time to time.  I guess I'll share those later.

I friggin' love the one with Link. His eyeballs are awesome.

I know!  XD  That's how he looks in the Phantom Hourglass illustrations.  He looks so kooky, I just had to draw him the same way.

I really like the 1st and 4th pics.  Great stuff, post more!

Wow Yossy, these are great! I think the one with Link is my favorite, but I also really like the Kirby Christmas one. :3

The roy picture is freakin' amazing.

I want to see the violent pictures 0.0

Yeah, I agree...wow.
I love the flower too.

Yossy, you are amazing. 

I wish I was half as good as you!  >.<

Yay!  It's fun to hear such nice feedback.  I heart criticism too, though, so if anyone's got some of that to share, I'd love to hear it.

I'll try to get some of the "violent" images up, but it might take me a while to find some good ones since they tend to get buried under the fluffy things.

Random two more pics I finished recently.

Aww, it's so adorable to see Fierce Deity Link trying to look intimidating but the rest of the world is like "awww he's so cuuuute."

Spoiler for:

This guy goes by the name of Arc, but his real name is Prince Arrow and OH MY GOD I LOVE DRAWING HIS HAT.  This is what he looks like in the anime he is from (Petite Princess Yucie, which is based on the Princess Maker games).

Spoiler for:

Added 'em to the first post, too.

I love the link, and Arc is pretty cool too. Nice job.

These are... so good... Where'd you learn to draw?

Also, LOL PRINCE ARROW.

Where did I learn to draw?  Uh... on the floor of my bedroom, I guess.

OMG I'M LEAVING GAIA ONLINE?!

THIS PLACE MIGHT LOOK LIKE GAIA, BUT I GOTS TA REMEMBER NOT TO GIVE EM MY LOG-IN INFORMATION!

Joking aside, very nice work Yossy. :3

Woah, this is really really amazing stuff! Roy is amazing, Phantom Hourglass Link is extremely impressive, at first I didn't even know if it was done digitally, the two flower ones are really really gorgeous.
I wish I could draw this well...

I love your Zelda Stuff ^^

Impressive.

Yossy.

I love you.

XD

I love your Zelda Stuff ^^

Thanks!  But the only things I've posted here are drawn to resemble the Wind Waker art style, and I have plenty of other Zelda pictures that are less cartoonish.  Allow me to find on very quickly!


Here's TP Link, staring blankly off into the distance.  It's a very static image, not nearly as dynamic as the stuff I prefer to share, so I will probably never do anything with this.  But still, I'm sharing it to get an idea across.

Spoiler for:

It'd be good for a title screen~

The Legend of Boring Art: Stare Off Into the Distance And Also Navi Shouts At You.

My new favorite Zelda game.

Lol, but it looks nice. D: Yossy, do you mind if I use your Fierce Deity for facebook default? I just wanna share it because it looks so nice. XD

Ummmm... I'd prefer if you didn't...  It's nothing personal, but thinking about my art being cycled all over teh interweb makes me paranoid and stuff.  "Then why share it in the first place?"  I don't know.

I love your Zelda Stuff ^^

Spoiler for:

True, it is static, but not every drawing can be dynamic. I also like your less cartoony stuff, it's just that artists who can "cartoon" (yes, it's a verb now) well are impressive in my book, as I cannot.

Here's something doodled suupa fast just earlier today.  Playing with brushes I downloaded (they're all over the background).  The girl is wearing a poofy dress and she's sitting down.  I'm not sure if that's expressed very well.

Spoiler for:

Also, a goblin.  (Yes, I have pink notebook paper.)

Spoiler for:

I like this new concept of using "cartoon" as a verb, would you mind if I borrowed it? XD  I use "art" as a verb sometimes, already.  As in, "Don't interrupt me, I'm trying to art!"

I really like the chick's face. It's very natural looking!

Thanks!  It's not that I can't draw realism, I just choose not to.   

It would be so cool to see you draw a picture of X. ;________;

And I'm totally not saying anything with that.

Not saying anything at all. ;______________;

I love your drawing of Fierce Deity Link and the Phantom Hourglass one, especially the phantom hourglass one.

It would be so cool to see you draw a picture of X. ;________;

And I'm totally not saying anything with that.

Not saying anything at all. ;______________;

Clickeh.

HEHEH! I dig it. Especially the little omg guy at the top.

I like the new stuff Yossy. I wish I knew what I was talking about when it came to art so I could offer critique =x

I will say that I hope to see more in this style sometime =o :

Clickeh.

Your sense of humor is adorable.

Thankyeh, it's something I'm proud of.  XD

Halo, I definitely intend to use that technique a lot more.  Paper cutouts are something I work with a lot traditionally (as seen here and here), which ends up making a huge mess in my room. XD  The digital version has a lot less cleaning up afterwards.  Even so, I still have a huge appreciation for its traditional form.

Anyway, I have a few ideas in mind for creating more digital-paper-cutouts, but I haven't started working on them yet.

holy crap you're good

Impressive Yossy, your 'self potrait and happy' drawing is just great. The pattern and colors are just perfect. =O
You have a very interesting artistic talent.

Arrrrghh!!  The ponies I posted... >=o  I don't feel like retyping that post.

Great stuff, my favourite thing about them is the perspectives and poses - they're very well done. And needless to say my favourite picture is the last one.

ART DUUUUUUUMMMMMPP

Spoiler for:

That might be the coolest frog I've ever seen =o

Frog prince is in ur forum, analyzin' ur enemy shields.

That pikmin looking character is totally badass.

Also, the picture right below the DS (second picture after the pikminish thing) has a shading style that I think looks really awesome, particularly on the background but the character looks really cool too.

I especially like the 3rd, 5th, 6th, and the last piece. <3
And the frog is simply nice.

@modern algebra:
Hahaha, the "Pikmin" things are actually Tamagotchi's.  I'm not joking.  I bought a Tamagotchi V5 not long ago and was having hella fun raising my ideal Tama family.  They're called the Violet Family, and in the group pic is the mom (Mamavioletchi), the dad (Papakizatchi), the daughter (Violetchi) and the little brother (Kizatchi).  The pic just below that is a standalone image of Kizatchi, because I think he is adorable.

The second image you commented on is actually an interpretation of Ivan, a character from Golden Sun.  He's a total wimp but I wanted to make him look cool, like a wandering mage.  Which he is.

I'm glad to hear that you like them!  

@Levent:
Uhh... lessee... 3rd pic is Kizatchi, 5th is Ivan, 6th is Zavier (a character from Harvest Moon: Rune Factory), and the last one is of an obvious nature...  I like storybook tales...

Thanks for the kind words. 


It surprises me to hear that folks like the Ivan piece, because I have really been hatin' on that one! 

Wow, great stuff Yossy.  Your art has so much style.  My fav is this one:

Spoiler for:

YOSSY! How lovely of you to paint me!

But i look sad



anyways, Its awesome

Wow, great stuff Yossy.  Your art has so much style.  My fav is this one:

Spoiler for:

That's meeeeeeee!! XD

And Nightwolf stop crampin my style.

omg... Destiny's Hand. O_O. When is the second novel (err... volume) comming out? Also, I love how you don't stick to one particular art "style". It makes everything you do fresh for the eyes. (if that makes sense :x )

I love the one you did of Ivan, he looks a bit older though (maybe that is what you was aiming for?).

You just seem to be getting better and better.

That's meeeeeeee!! XD

Yeah, I figured it was you.  I saw your picture a while ago so I have a good idea of what you look like. =)

The Phantom Hourglass link one made me smile for some reason.

Yossy's art is incredible.

I reeeeeeeeeaaally love the Frog and the Prince sig you made, it's awesome. It makes me all warm inside.
