Re: Non SKU art

Oh, if you see someone better, it should inspire you to improve. n_n Then again, sometimes someone is so good that it just makes me stop drawing. Well, for the next two hours at least, which I spend disecting their art and learning all of their secrets. ;)

Besides, any art is good. Either that or all art is bad. Art can be excelent without skill. Take a picture of an empty Coca-Cola bottle and call it conceptual.

And just so that this doesn't end up as a short art-babble post, here. Have some Chloe and randomly drawn sketch that will make your apreciate your wicked human drawing skills. (:

Sort of. For each of these I had the concept in mind, then went digging through photo references for pieces of the figures. Each is a composite of multiple references. It's an approach I do a lot, as I rarely have my friends on tap to be models for me, or the pose is such that I can't use myself in a mirror.

The thing I like best is the poses they use, I have trouble doing exciting poses as they look unbalanced but you seemed to have mastered that pretty well.

Study athletes and dancers and martial artists!  Seriously.  I've never been a big fan of sports, until I realized those people were the best references for the kind of action poses that can so confound an artist.  For quiet poses, study all the people around you.  Of course, you need to be careful that they don't catch you staring at them. emot-tongue

It's that Chloe! I thought she was a great character in Noir. But her little-girl voice was ultra-creepy. Good job of catching her disdainful expression.

Re: Non SKU art

Erm... Ask and you shall recieve? (Long sappy story included.)

I've shot a few photographs that were more than "Hehe, look at me and my non-spontaneous smile", but I was always iffy about posting them in my gallery, since I'm sure most people that visit my gallery (someone actually visits me?) come for the drawings. Maybe I should post them...

Edit: Thank you for the praise Suncat. (:

Re: Non SKU art

I love to draw, but I am not particularly good at it. emot-gonk Everything looks like bubbles and it's all falling apart. NO SOLIDITY.

http://www.lemon-chiffon.org/etc/huh.jpg

^on portfolio day, the MIAD guy told me that the area between her uprised knee and the backdrop had a lot of drama. I was baffled. Not to mention the pose and general composition was SHAMELESSLY stolen from a photograph, so it hardly reflects on me.

Besides that, everyone always says that they like my rendition of Gwen Stefani n her bitches or this weird illustration I did as an assignment (which I HATE, by the way), but I'm sort of partial to a request I got to draw some girlie's "Sailor Aphrodite."

I have not finished anything recently, except another request that was supposed to be dangerous and sexy but came out looking like a children's TV show. ):

The Gwen Stefani pic is super cool. And rather amusing, really.

The clay Arki is very cute. Yay for sculpture.

Oh, that's a brilliant idea!  Yes, yes!  Sculptures and photography please, expecially with the sculptures!  One of my favorite things.

Arki, I really like your little sculpture dude, it's really cute.

Here's a drawing I did of Davey Havok, it's also kinda nastolgic, I did it when I was 16.  The nastolgia factor is also why I don't wanna spiffy it up emot-frown

Re: Non SKU art

I USED TO!

(caps locks is FUN! emot-dance )

In spanish, you know, they even dubbed the openings emot-gonk but they were all right n_n really!! but they stopped networking it before Robin appeared emot-gonk a shame, and now i can't watch it anymore 'cause it's at 9 am, during classes...

solo creo en loo que puedo veeer, el camino que ahora se abrá ante mi, no me importa lo que ellos diraaan, por mi parte yo pienso continuar, y voy a exploraaar el mundo que hay ante MII emot-dance con la fuerza y la pasion que tuu ME AYUDES A SENTIR wo wo 8D *sings*

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qa0Oq700tW0 3rd opening x3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9mvyPkYIbY I just have to say that Luffy's voice actor is my god

Re: Non SKU art

CAPS ARE THE BEST!! etc-love

Oh, you have to watch the rest. In Japanese. The arc that follows Arabasta is quite shitty, but the arc after it is pretty close to godly. Robin is awesome. etc-loveetc-loveetc-love And quite similar to Anthy, although that could be just in my head. 8D

And nice opening dub. But Koby's voice is horrid. And Luffy... errr... >_>;; I can't say I like it. Have you heard his VA in the original version? Now THAT is god right there. etc-love

Re: Non SKU art

Koby's voice is crap, shitty and ridiculious 8D and yes, of course i've heard Luffys original VA but.. but let's say after listening to the spanish dub for years... etc-loveetc-love you learn how to love him.

Plus, when we noticed that they were about dubbing it, we were terrified... it could be MUCH worst (Utena, in spanish, it's "The magical ring of Ursula" emot-gonk no joking...)

I actually have another version of him which is much different. It's still in my head though, I haven't had the time to get it painted yet.

That's awesome. (likes seeing people's interpretations of characters you can't see)
I have no idea why, but I've always imagined him looking like Kaworu from Evangelion myself...

I really like how the shapes and lines work together in that, also the different overlapping shades. It has a really nice movement and composition, I think it's really cool. etc-love Also, I like the color, or lack thereof.



And speaking of black and white drawings...I just finished this last night for a girl I owed a secret santa present to:

http://www.lemon-chiffon.org/etc/drawings/blackandwhite.jpg

They are her made up Sailor Moon characters. I guess they're sort of like opposites, but I don't know a lot about their story. Anyway, I had to give it to her so late that I wanted to make it more nice than I generally would have, so I put them both in there in a basically impossible pose. (My specialty?)
