[Visual] Art by me =D

^ not the clue.  Just a random drawing 











thats it for now.

^Just drew that.  It is shaded, it just dosn't show for some odd reason.

LOL DIGIMON

Lol.  Sensible comments please.  Forgot to state that.

It is sensible, . Okay fine, those are very nice pictures. There, sensibleness.

Yay.  cookie for you.  Lol. 

Dorry..but drawing some of them was not easy.  Although...some might have been a tad easy, others were not.

One of those dudes is wearing a pope hat. I should get Lavata a pope hat.

Good drawings Lav, theyre good pics

Haha, lol.  A pope hat.  Excelent idea! I've always wanted a pope-hat!

Thank you nightwolf.  More shall come into view eventually....right now though, it's time to take a break.  lol.

Well, there is another.  It's not the tidiest one though >.<  I only doodled it this morning.

And yet another pic.  This one looks Wayyyyy better on paper than it does here.  Maybe that's because I drew it ith a coloring pencil.. Meh...it seems I can do better with them.

How the hell do you guys make such good stuff?

i dont want the answer
MY HAND XD

The picture above I drew out of boredom.  Lol.  I just sat down and drew some odd thing. 


I can see how people improve over time if they keep at it...I compare these pic's to the ones I did in Grade 6.  >.< Now THOSE pictures were horrid!

And here is an example of my bad coloring skills >.<

Heres a pic.  It's Ed from FMA.  Might not look it but it is.  Came out quite clear.

Very nice.

Thanks =D.  I like getting replies...it helps me do better ^^

i liked the rest too, and the drawing skill u call bad are not so bad , theyre ok, but u need to be better on choice of colour
rest is kewl

Lol.  yeah...I do need to have a better choice in colors :\

Neat!

Yes.  Neat indeed.

These are pretty good, mate. Better than what I can do, at least... you ever draw like dark characters... like Naraku or um... blast, what the devil was that man's name... um... gosh, well whatevah.

Well....I drew Naraku once.  That was a year or two ago though...


And I don't know of that other person, seeing as you dont either >.> lol.

Thank you all for the comments.

Ah, I remember now. Hakudoshi... one of Naraku's incarnations... awesome child... kinda creepy though.

Oh....Hakudoshi.. i might try some day.  lol.

I don't watch nearly enough anime to have a clue as to what a Naraku is...

Naraku is the kick-ass evil half-breed villain from InuYasha.

Yeah.  He is basically a god-like creture who can't die.  Well...he can, but it would take quite an ammount of time to do so.

Here is some kind of cover page that is not yet completed.

Hmm...well...I seemed to have screwed up the final version...so that will not be posted up :\

And yet another pic.  This one is a sketch.

Hot damnit...

Meh.  I didnt know what I was at with it.  It seems to be the worst one so far =\


I only can draw good if I'm in a good mood =O

i like them. one thing. on some, the faces are a bit askew. just fix that, and maybe fix your porportions a bit and youll be even better.

I really like it. When I draw I usally don't use guidelines cause it takes too long....I don't know what I can say to help you improve right now....kee up the good drawings  ?

~Winged

another sketch I did while bored.

Good, but it seems...masculine.

Lawl.  Could be.  I'm still trying to get used to drawing females.

It is pretty dificult...I still can't.

I can't draw females.  It's so hard!

You seem to be good at drawing feet, and that's a lot more than most anime artists can do.

Omg.  Second or third time Yossy has posted in one of my topics    lol.

Yeah.  Drawing females it hard...but I seem to like it better.  You may think I'm good at drawing feet but I don't >.<

I HATE drawing feet and hands.

How much one likes or dislikes a particular aspect of drawing has little relationship with how well one actually does in creating that aspect.  I like drawing female characters but suck at it; I don't like drawing anime but people say it's awesome.

It is awsome >.>  <.<  I never knew you didn't like drawing anime =\



tis odd, really.

Here is aother pic.  It may not be good, but it isn't finished yet.

It's a good start lav!

Still looks a tad manly though =\

Just a bit, you are getting better. Maybe look up anatomy on the internet? It helps a lot. If you can't find anything useful, I can scan a few pages of this book I bought a while back...

Hrmm....maybe I'll try looking first.

Well...here it is in all of it's oddness.  I may have ruined it, but I'm gonna try to fix it up to make it seem better :|

I like that guy on the left, he's got cool clothes.

That, and his chin looks like it could take down a guy all by itself, heh.

...Why is she so pissed, exactly?

I don't know that yet =\.  Myabe he did something bad.   

The dude on the left is definitely wearing White Mage robes.

Your profiles need work.  The human face is not a straight line with a pointed bump in it for a nose.  Find some photos of people in profile or something and study them.  Look at a bunch of different people, too, to see how much profiles actually vary.

Tis not a white Mage robe!


And yeah, I know I need work on the profiles.  I'm trying to search for a few thigns to help me out.

I'm sorry.  That is a white mage robe.

Well, if that's what you want it to be, then it is.  I didn't want to leave it bare so I tried to add something to his clothes that represent 'fire'.  Didn't come out that well looking likt that though. 

Alot of people I draw have those things on their clothes.

Here are some doodles I have been working on.  It's basically a practice sheet where I do things over and over, trying to get the feel for doing them.  I have been working on hands and faces as of yesterday.

That's pretty cool! In my opinion the faces are a bit too...straight (square-ish?). But it does add a neat look, so I can't really say it's bad or anything.

Yeah...they are a tad squareish..but I plan to fix that in time.

Well...as you can see in this next one: it WAS going to be a doodle page...but I started drawing something and worked on it from there.  The only real thing I want to note is the man to the left part of the page.

If I could just say so, the large face looks like an old man.

The latest is cool.

Yeah, thanks for the comments.  I'll post the finished version soon.  For now, however, I'll see if anyone else wants to reply.

^the completed pic

Well, here is another.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40926768/

I really don't know why....but this looks tons better in RL that it does when scanned.

If it looks really good now, what would it look like before being scanned? 

That happens sometimes.  Play around with the settings on your scanner until it's perfect... that's what I have to do.

Yay.  Well...here is another one.  This one is colored an al.  I think it's good. 

It was going to be a cover page.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40956398/

It's kind of big tho =\

OR...view it here:




WHich one of the three do you like best, if any?

The guy in the front...his head might be a bit big? Otherwise I really like it.

His head is supposed to be big, lol.  His nose is also suppposed to be like that.  I think your the first person to say you liked him best.  Mine is Wrath (yellow-haired man.)

I prefer girls 

So do I.  I can't draw girls that good though..T.T


Girls are alot harder to draw than guys are.  It is much harder to draw a hot/pretty looking girl than it is to draw any kind of guy.  Women have more corves and softer features, which is something that I am not used to drawing.  SO, along with many other things, they are also something I ned alot of work on.

OK.  Well, here is another one.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41114739/

He's cool.  Looking like some kinda hunter/ranger guy.  I like his braid.

Thanks ^^

And another.  This is Wrath, one of the characters from something I am working on.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41127053/

They're both good! I like Wrath better though.

Lol, thanks.  I'm trying to improve.  I hope it's getting better.

OK.  Well, here is another one.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41114739/

alright, its good, except for a few things.

The eye that is further away from the viewer is a different structure (has a corner, is closed) compared to his left eye, which is open curves. Also, the left hand (and this is a common mistake) shouldn't be horizontal to the ground, but sortof at a curved angle with the thumb on the lower side. its a bit hard to explain though...so...yeah

You should crop your images so there's not so much white space. ...

Yeah >.<  I'll do that with my newer ones.

so, is my advice ever helpful or is it just, say, ignored?

It's good and helpful.  I know I missed mentioning it so I just waited for you to mention it, since I knew you would.  It wasn't ignored, I don't ignore stuff unless it's complete spam.If you toook the time to look over the pics then you shall be noted.

ah, ok, cool.

and wow, nice reverse phsycology thing.

and...yeah.

also, i like the character design ideas that are populate your brain. Wrath is good as well, but you should color the inside of his vest (e.g. on the right side *our left* of his body where you have it clear), so it looks realistic.

Yeah...I should have made it darker.  It is shaded in, it just dosnt appear so in the scan.

yeah, but it doesnt even look colored. in theory, it should be darker than the outside.

another sketch I did while bored.

I'd date her... I think.

another sketch I did while bored.

I'd date her... I think.

she really doesnt look THAT masculine. she needs bigger...*cough* though

No, actually that size is pretty realistic.

Lavate you draw good, i love you in a non gay way so im gonna give 356.4 stabs in your stomach right now.

How sweet.

Lol.  Kind of creepy though >.>  I thank you for the comment.

They would look odd if I made them any smaller or bigger...so i left them alone.

so, is my advice ever helpful or is it just, say, ignored?

It's gay.

Don't be a dick, velton, Dante knows his shit.

I think at this point no one takes velton seriously.

Any ways Lavata, do you do requests? Like erm..... THOR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Umm-I didnt mean it. It was sarcasm.

Thank god for sarcasm

  and sarcasm rule. anw...

Lol.  I shal soon have something else up.  It might take some time though..I'm trying to work on drawing numerous things and getting used to drawing people is poses and such.   So..it could take some time.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41414542/

Another one.  Comments appreciated =D

Very nice.

its good, but his right arm is...

interesting...

and, his torso is a bit big.
nice drawing though

(@ my earlier comment...i was kidding)

Thanks.  However... I decided to discard that one.  I didn't like it at all once I looked at it this morning.  It was just...ew.


Anyway...I'm trying to come up with something better.

i agree. the arms are like a demented rabbit digging a holw in an umberella after chopping some oak from a forest in Arabia.

i agree. the arms are like a demented rabbit digging a holw in an umberella after chopping some oak from a forest in Arabia.

LOL!

I'm still requesting a drawing of Thor over here.

Who IS thore? 

Thor is thor!

That's not Thor, Thor is a guy.

I know, it's a joke I played on FU at .org.

Who IS thore? 

Oh just THE MIGHTIEST GOD TO EVER BE WORSHIPPED!

I command you all to bow before Thor!

what about Odin or Loki?

Or Freyr or Tyr or Hod?

Oh, thor.  I know now.  Lol.  Maybe I'll try when I'm better >.>



anyway..here is another one.  It's more on the cartoonish side of things.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41459406/

Hmmm Hopefully soon you will put a drawing of Thor.

its great!

just remember that the pinky is shorter than the index finger, so the hand should go back further.

Yeah, I should have made the end of the hand shorter.  He still has no fingers though o.o  Does that even matter? lol.

Fu, why do you like Thor so much if you're into swords?

Shouldn't you like... teh Dark paladin DeathTrooper?

Anyway, Lavata, you're forgetting to crop your images.

Wha...?  Do you mean make them smaller??  (sorry if that sounds like an idiotic question)  because if that's it then I did that.  It was a good much bigger.

Easy, I don't have to kick asses with Hammers just because I worship Thor.

Also why I worship Thor is because.
Thor > Jesus > Buddha

Wha...?  Do you mean make them smaller??  (sorry if that sounds like an idiotic question)  because if that's it then I did that.  It was a good much bigger.

Crop is removing the area around the image that simply has nothing to do with the picture.

The way to get rid of it is to select the part of the image you want, and then with whatever you're using go to edit or tools or something and find "Crop"

If crop isn't there, just do ctrl-x and create a new image and save it in that.

Or Freyr or Tyr or Hod?

lol tyr

What about that female with 'r'?

Ok.  So...if you want to talk about the gods so much then make a topic.  This one is not  for that. 

Haha, sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

Post some art so we can go back on topic.

Well, here is a quick sketch.  It's far from done.  I need to fix alo before going and darkening it in.

its good, but wtf is he doing?

Or Freyr or Tyr or Hod?

lol tyr

Don't laugh at him. Fenris bit his arm off.

wait, what about Freja?(wait, did i spell that wrong?)

Her name can be spelled Freya or Freja.

ah...i see. so whats her deal?

its good, but wtf is he doing?

No clue yet.  I'm thinking that he's giving aqueer sort of thumbs up.





and FREYA!   I remember her from star ocean and valkyrie(?) profile.

Ah, I thought he was biting his thumbnail.  I can't tell what his right arm/hand are doing, though.

I see that you're drawing guidelines to help with placement of the eyes.  My recommendation is that you stop doing that... guidelines are pointless...

That's just my opinion, though... If you find that they're helping you, you can ignore me.

hoe can you bite thumbnails-if theyre a on a computer?

Ah, I thought he was biting his thumbnail.  I can't tell what his right arm/hand are doing, though.

Guidlines can be good.  I know I use them, but I don't use them to determine the size of the eyes, it helps me shape teh head.


Anyway, Lavata, the left arm is completely off proportion

I usually shape heads by drawing the right and left sides of an oc-thing-like-a-circle and then at the top, put the hair, and the bottom ha a kind of upside-down triangle, like: \_/

  --HAIR--
   |  00 |  <Like so (Do you like my eyes there?)
   |       |
   \      /
    \__/

For eyes, I draw a feint triangle and and an oc-thing-like-a-circle on it's side with points at the right and left ends, on top of that, then make the triangle inside of the oc-thing-like-a-circle a darker shada, then colour it.

     ________
    /     / \        \       <Like so
   /     /   \        \
   \    /     \       /
    \_/____\_ /

ah...i see. so whats her deal?

She's a Godess of Magic, Fertility and sometimes War. So basically She's The Goddess of Feminism. Plus she's like erm, better looking than any mortal woman could ever be.  When I go to Valhalla I'm so going to be drolling over her when ever She stops by....

I draw them almost the same way.  I don't know why I used guidelines for the eyes though...they don't sem to work.  Well, they possibly do, but just not for me.   I do better without them.  I even knew that before I put them there =\

ah...i see. so whats her deal?

same. probably. wait, so you actually follow the old norse religon? sweet.

mostly, i need guidelines to do well, otherwise my faces end up oddly. i have tried without them, but, alas, to no avail.

Why do you think I talk about Thor as much? HAIL ODIN!

odin's pretty sweet.

Lav- draw ODIN!

no, i shall draw ODIN!

Norse son of a Bish...

I like to look at how people depict great leaders-It really shows you how deep someone can be. I have a freind that drew Jeses as a hippy back in college days. She thought It meant a lot. I thought it was funny. I lol'd, I did.

Yes.  You go draw odin. >.>

well, i mean, you can.

honestly, you need to post some more art so this topic doesnt drown in spam.

Yet another sketch of one of my many characters.  This one is the most new.


So hows this? am I getting any better???

That is certainly better than any of your other artworks.  Your arm lengths are getting better.

Yay.  Thanks.  I think so to.  Still...I need to get used to drawing fingers >.<

Ha.  Lavata, do you have MSN/AIM?

I'm pretty sure I remember you having MSN and then you just dissapeared one day...

roight. So for your latest drawing, its good, but something about your eye style bugs me. there's nothing wrong with it, persay, it just reminds me of that noob-otaku style thats so generic and everybody uses it. Anyways, its good besides, just make it a bit more curvacious and shape the arms a bit more. nobody ive seen has arms like that. ever.

Yeah, I have MSN.  I'll send ya my E-mail via PM

She looks a bit of a... princess.

Nice work Lavata, nice and long topic too ^_+

congrats on beating me. garrgle.

roight. So for your latest drawing, its good, but something about your eye style bugs me. there's nothing wrong with it, persay, it just reminds me of that noob-otaku style thats so generic and everybody uses it.

Haha, that's what I've thought, too, but I'm too nice to say it.

=D  lol.  Thanks.  I know it's a long topic...nothing wrong with that >.>

I'll post a photo of my own when I find my phone..............

Some odd creature thingy.  It's not done yet.  I'm still working on it.

It seems that you use a different host everytime.

Not really.. just use imageshack when I don't think it's worth putting on deviantart.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41751041/
^The finished version.  This one is black and white.  I know it's big...I figured that out yet again.(I forgot about it) However, it came to me when I already uploaded it.  Sorry >.<  I'll make sure to cut the others down from now on.

Me think tail more detail needed it is very, les fromage.

the tail is supposed to be..plain-ish.  I didn't see much else I could put on it.

ATTATCHMENT. RUSHING AGAIN.

Thats the best you'll get from me. Notice Kimono, and amazing feet. the feet took me 2 hours.

First picture has shadow, sorry.

Not really.. just use imageshack when I don't think it's worth putting on deviantart.

Man.. that's soooo cool... I wish I was able to make monsters and creatures as detailed and cool looking as you can. Mine always end up getting tossed and stepped up... mainly by me.  ;_;

Woot.  Thank you.  =D.  I always used to draw monsters.  They were the only thing I drew once...so now I just try o make them better (they used to be strange blobs with spikes then -.-')

It's not that 'detailed' though.  I wish I could photoshop...or if I even had it ;_;  it could possibly be better then.

Thank you anyway

What about mine.....

No one likes you, Velton.

That wasn't nice, Yossy >.>

Anywhoo...here is another one.  It's just the head...the rest will come.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41769820/


Actually...that's the final version.   sort of screwed it up so I threw it out.

Truth hurts.

No one likes you, Velton.

Ive had 3 pms from fu

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41808021/
^The 'head' of Lilith (not really.)  Just a guardian-type thing which extends from gate.  I know it's not as good as the first monster thingy I posted, but I just did these for fun.  I'm going back people for a while now though.

Lilith is one of the characters from..

^Something I did an expirament on to make my work seem more tidy.  It's just a normal, faceless boy.  Comments welcomed.

Art is 99% experimentation.  It's good to hear!  Keep trying different things and find what makes you happy.  That's probably my favorite of all the works I've seen of yours, too.

I can't WAIT to see the rest of this!!

Thank you both.  It seems to be kind of plain though to be your favorite piece, is it not? 

Not at all.  Mayhaps "plainness" is something you should implement into future art, in that case?

Wow.  Kind of hard to do though (for me anyway.)  Still...I think I should try it.  Thanks 

I reiterate:  Art is 99% experimentation.  Often, a method you least expect to be effective has a profound impact on either a) your "style" or art in the future, or b) your viewers' thoughts of your work.

Don't center your art on pleasing your viewers, though.  What's most important is that it is right for you.

Thank you   I know that I have to find something that suites me as of yet.  I still try and expirament with things and try to get everything right...dosn't work out most of the time though.  Still...I wish I had photoshop...at least so I could tinker with things.  I can't even find a free download and I have no clue where to buy it.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/41883208/
^Kaza.  My most newest colored one.  I drew a picture roughly, fixed the bad mistakes, then I outlined it with pen.  once that was done I got tracing paper (hence why it's so...flimsy looking and wrinkled) and with a black pen, traced the image on to it.  I then colored it. 

Her fingers are a tad screwy (the ones on her right hand, the ones next to her face are supposed be be like that: they are folding inward, as if it were grasping something.) but that's just because I'm trying to get used to drawing them.


Well, any opinions/comments/suggestions,etc?

Here is another sketch.  it is in it's roughest form and will not be finished untill tomorrow.  It's some kind of...thing.  I don't know what it's called.  Maybe I shall decide once it is finished.



Hands are still odd and the feet need work.  He also may need several other things. 

Nice Pics Lava, but do post in other boards to LOLLATION

LOLLATION?  o...k.  Anywhoo...i might not have new ones for a while longer.  I have m,uch homework to do >.<  O-well.

Hey the picture you posted in page no 1 is awsome lol!

Too bad. I'm liking your newest sketch, Lavata! Can't wait to see some new ones. ^^

wow. tons of new stuff. dude, youve been busy...lol.

well, mostly, i like the monster head. very awesome, and quite detailed. the latest one is good, except you already know what needs to be fixed on it.

Thank you.

More might not be ( I do say this alot...and I useually go against it for some reason....) posted in a hile.  I am trying to draw people from their real-life pictures to get better.  I've been told that's the best way to get good before I try to turn anything in a animeish-type thing. 

im actually doing that backwards, and art class (like, even smooth value shading) is hard as FUCK to do, because i have to develop new shading techniques, since in my drawings i usually shaded kindof...sketchily, i suppose, with like 5 grades maximum, where in art we need like 15.
anyways, i think youre choosing the right path (itll give me time to get better so you dont overshadow me )

I don't think I'll overshadow you, lol.  I have a long way to go before I do any of that.  But, no matter how much I wish I wont get anywhere without practice =D

I would assume it was a prank call.

IGNORE VELTON

Please take your phonecall spam to somewhere else.  Maybe make a topic about it.  just don't bring it here.

Baleeted. :D  Now it looks like you're talking about phone sex outta nowhere. :x

Not really.  It's just Arrowone assuming some random thing, nightwolf saying ignore velton for some reason and me speaking jibberish for one reason or another.  =D

POST MORE ART PRODIGY!!!

Calm yourself down, lol.  More will come when I got it.  For now, though,  I have some things to do before I can work on anything else.

hm...alright. fine.

im just warning you, seeing as how even the most pretigious threads can get filled...FILLED...with spam quickly if unattended to.

Baleeted.   Now it looks like you're talking about phone sex outta nowhere. :x

Oh god! Some how Yossy and sex got into the same part of my mind! Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeee meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Thoooooooooooorrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll post something when I get something.  Everything seems to turn out bad though..for some reason or another.  Still, I shall get something up soon..

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42161484/
^You wanted something and there it is.  it's unfinished.  I shall finish it up soon, seeing as it turned out half-good.


Oh, and this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42161572/

That was something I did a while ago.  It didn't turn out good so I didn't bother to post it.

DAMN Lavata, you're getting good! BUt uh...in that second one, it looked like you were using tracing paper..?

I explained that a while back.  I drew a rough copy, outlined it with pen and then used traching paper to copy out the final image.


Also, here is the finished version of my last pic:

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42167802/

ALSO...here is a marker doodle I did for fun.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42170245/

ok. so the boy's waist up is good, but i think you really didnt put as much effort into the legs, as the porpotion is off and they look overall less detailed. the marker doodle is good, except for the shape of the head is odd.

Thanks.  Yeah, I guess your right abotu the legs.  I should have put more into them.  Still, it's pretty decent.

yes, it did. and, i dont know about you, but my thumb never naturally points that sharply outward. may wanna work on that.

Yeah...I screwed that up too.  The finger next to the thumb was originally supposed to be the thumb..but I changed it since it looked real strange.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42186443/
Here is another.  It's just a pack-type pose and a few faces.  Nothing special.

I like the second one, it looks like lust from fullmetal alchemist

Are you talking about the one on page 1? If so, you should...it was drawn while I was looking at a pic of her.

that one is good, but the hand seems to big.

Yeah, I kind of figured that it was too big.  It looks as it the back of the hand is facing you (to me anyway) when it's supposed to be the palm which faces you (the fingers folded inward).  The arm also seems out of place..

well, i could tell that it was the palm, the way the thumb was, but the arm was out of place. it seemed like too much of it was behind the back.

Ohh....now I see.  The arm does seem to far behind  (to much of it is seen) than it sctually should be.  Thanks for the reply.

yup, im glad to help. We should be the CO users in the game, lol.

That would be nice.  After all, this is the plce where I am useually most active.



More stuff will soon be on the way.  I am just finishing off practicing(?) then, when I'm done, I shall post some new stuff.

Nice drawings, Lavata, very nice.

Thank you, Indignos. 

Here is a drawing of a character from my newest Project: "Valcon Sky: The Reopening"

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42566788/

whoa!!! YOU drew that? thats really good lav!!! the only issue is the pendant/brooch thing is off...but thats really minor! KUDOS!

(you may want to make his eyes less...hinata/neji-esque)

HOT damn, you got good at this REAL fast. I'm scared of what you might be able to do with a program like photoshop.

hmm...

i think i need to learn how to use photoshop as well...and also...Lavata...hmmm...maybe you should start drawing full drawings again, since this character "fades", even though its a good effect, you should still practice so you can be  good at stylistic and practical types of drawing.

Thank you.  I really wish that I COULD use photoshop.  I want to make them cleaner looking and add color...but I can't T.T.  OR...if I could find someone willing to do it.  However, that's a very rare occurance.

Yeah, well...if you got somebody else to do it, you cant take full credit for the colored version :/ ...

 off topic:::hey Lav, since we'll both be in the game...well, read my idea for it and tell me what you think.

Seems good.  Since it's a comical RPG, I think it works nicely.

I know I can't take credit for someone elses work.  I'm not one of those who just takes and claims it as their own ( I take and creidt the owner >.<)  Anywhoo....if I could that would be great.  No one ever wants to though...


Still...I shall find someone eventually.

yeah, i know you dont claim other people's work, im just saying that im sure you LIKE to be able to take your own credit.  Anyways, do what you will. Im starting to get into like...high-class art markers, personally.

Interesting. I  have no markers.  Well...I do, I just have sharpies...three or four of which I'm missing.  I just use colored led's to draw, they seem much more easy and manigable for me.  If not that then I would find someway to learn photoshop if I had access to it.

yeah...it seems photoshop would be easier, as getting shiny effects, etc...with markers is exteremley hard. *shrug* but, like everything else, it takes practice...

Yeah, I guess so.  practice helps ALOT.  Some people think that being able to draw good is natural.  Oh lord is that sooo wrong. I couldn't draw crap when in grade 6.

haha...i know. its so annoyign when people are like "OMG how are you that good?" and im all "ive been drawing alot." and theyre like "OMFG NO WHAY! o could NEVAR do that!" and im like "um...right", but really im thinking...well, normally i just dont care and it makes me uneasy when people watch me draw.

So...chilling...

Lol, yeah.  I can't draw when someone is watching me...it just dosn't feel right :\.  I'll plan on getting over that though...when I can draw better >.>

I want to be able to make a manga/comic/mixture of both? someday.

so do i, or rather, complete one. i started one at camp but i stopped...*shrug*

Woot, competition.  Lol.  I shall (hopefully) create one when I am able.  Hopefully I will be able to(and hopefully it's not when I'm like...35+ years old =\.) It would be the awsomeness to see one of my storys be turned into an anime (even if it's not the -direct- story) and have people like my characters (hopefully >.>').

I DRAW...but I'm kind of a one trick pony. Mechs ftw.

Thank you, Indignos.

competition? heh. well, alright, if you consider a halted project competition...anyways, right now i feel like teaching you instead of competing with you.

Well...just to keep everything on topic here is a sketch I did in about 45 seconds-1 min while waiting to get into the bathroom >.<

...i dont see it.

oops...sorry.

I was in a rush.

oops...sorry.

I was in a rush.

uhhh...hm. thats interesting. Youre strength seems to lie in speed though, as i couldnt do that in that quickly...but as you said, it was fast...and thusly contains flaws, which arent important to talk about since you acknowledged the fact that it was done quite quickly...Anywyas...looks like ed from FMA....although i do like the detail on the cloak.

It is Ed, just with different hair.  I didn't feel like giving him his normal hair when I was doing it. 

Yeah...I do what most drawing tutorials and videos tell you to do and draw out a quick setch then darken it in after.  But...I'm sure most other people do that as well.

eh...i do that. but i do guidelines, the srawing, then i ink it/shade it

I'm guessing you mean 'drawing'.  But, anyway..yeah, that's about it.  That's the easiest way to do things. 

Did you ever try to show someone how to draw? It's mind numbing.  Lol.  My teacher told us to "draw lightly first, THEN come back in and darken it up".  Heh...that didn't work out so well.  Half of the class basically used dark lines first ( looking like they leaned on the pencil to it's fullest) and then ended up having to go through 2-4 sheets of paper to finally get it right.  Yes, I know it's not for everyone...but following those kinds of instructions isn't really hard now, is it?


Anyway...I'll have some new stuff in due time.  For now, however, I have to draw it.

mhm...yeah, its quite hard. I mean, even when using a 3H pencil, i often use over-powered strokes which leave eraser marks...it sucks.

^There is yet another one.  You can see that I drew on the back of the paper..lol.  I wasn't trying to draw this pic then...just doodling when it became something that I wanted to finish.  His/her/it's leg it also a tad screwy as well, but I can't really fix that now.

Lavata, did you ever get around to making that picture of..... THOR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Nope, not yet.  I might try when I get better.  Thor sin't an easy person to do.

Yay...another one.

Here is one of my other evil-type character's: Dante.  He's not exactly human nor exactly a "he" or a "she".
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42996184/

hey, thats pretty cool. I like the helmet, the markings, and the gloves themselves...but i dont really like the arm position. It looks almost like they're bound to his torso, from what i can tell. Oh..the scythe is cool.

Yay...another one.

that is a SWEET drawing....i wish i could draw

Thanks.  He has no arms...so he can't really have gloves. He does, however, have large feet. And that scythe is his foot-thingy. There is a rason in why he was no arms in which I can't get into


Huzzah! The not so good finished version which now has me dizzi from marker fumes
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43011475/

all of these area simply amazing, great work I can't wait to play your full game now.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I see it now, lol. Oh...well in that case, it looks really cool...if not odd...but thats a good thing ^^

lol..."if not odd" ha, anyways if you ever do resource request, tell me ill be first to submit

Well, here is another one.  It's based off one of ongakujunkie's drawings from Gamingw.net

thats really nice. Especialyl the expression. I can really see his personality. My only quip about it is the top hand. It seems to be at a different angle than should be when holding a stave.

Its awsome like always.
As LORD DANTE told it has good expressions looks pretty kewl to

It's supposed to be a girl ._.'   But anyway, lol...yeah.

I still liked it, no matter what it looks like.

I thank you for replying.
