    Can you please let me know what you are using to do some of your finished pieces? Acrilic/Guache/oils? or are you using a programme to add finishing touches? Be interested to know.

    If I paint, I usually go for watercolours. But I rarely paint anymore.
    The process I usually go through is: Pencil or Ballpoint Sketch - Inking the linart - Scan the pic - Touch up the raw scan using photoshop - Colour in with either Photoshop, Painter or Opencanvas.

    Btw I So love your avatar, best I've seen in a long time

    Me too. It's great. I would steal it, but that would be bad.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Well I can't take credit for this because I didn't create it. I loved that avie when I saw it on another forum. So nik it if you want to ^^ But it would make sense to use it on another board though to avoid confusion between who's who.

    I do think that Bridger does a great job, but if it's not possible to update the community links in this kind of time frame, maybe they should seriously consider scrapping it?

    Or at the very least letting you know what's going on. I recall reading somewhere that Pyra sent a pm and still didn't get a reply.
  3. Gratz!!

    New toon, new vibe. No more of that "I disband teams" attitude
  4. I don't know if I'd call it a "quick" pencil sketch

    It's nice.

    He looks rock solid and the proportions are good, thanks to "artistic license"

    Post more! ^^

    Should I give up then?!

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Nope.

    Disregard the idiotic comments and do what you want to do. Draw for yourself first and foremost, then look for other's feedback.

    I actually like the colouring in this pic. It's consistant and full.
    I am weary of your perspective though. States looks very flat on this pic, in my opinion anyway.

    Trying to draw him at a different angle, like a front/side view, could help solve the problem.

    But I see you had fun in drawing this, so keep it up ^^

    Personelement, ca me dit bien

    il me semble que tu as 2 solutions ici:
    -Tu tappe l'incruste chez les RP'ers
    -Tu te coltines un nouveau villain, bas niveau: moi <-- et c'est pas un cadeau...

    Que ce soit sur Héros ou Villain; Vigi, Defiant ou Union, une chose est sur: si l'équipe qui vient de m'inviter n'a pas de manieres apres 5/10 mins de presence.. je prends mes cliques et mes claques et je mets les voiles.
    Meme si je ne suis pas tres bavare (ce qui rare..), due au fait que je suis constamment sur ventrilo avec mes potos, je salue les nouveaux arrivants et les remercies lors de leur départ.

    If you can't be bothered fair enough but I reserve the right to call your computer pox ridden at any time.

    You're so naive..

    Keep up the good work FG!
  9. Excellent!

    On dirait que States s'est mangé le panneau bleu

    Ca ma bien fait rire! Mon collegue, au boulot, comprend pas ce qu'il y a de drole...
  10. Voted*

    Kudos and good luck! ^^
  11. Sweet, Already had it in french.. But now I know you can change it to english!

    comic drawing

    Of course you can find many tutorials on the net or in your local library.
    But none will work without constant practice. Also, the best tutorial you can find is to go out, and draw what you see.
    ^^

    Some... Things

    ^^

    As mentionned in another place, you really managed to change a simple screenshot into some really nice eye candy. The atmosphere that's conveyed into those is really catchy.
    I personally really enjoy them.

    So as they say down there, GG!

    Orina!

    Yay! replies!!

    Thanks all for looking ^^

    MaX, thanks but I'll keep in the amateur side of things :P Either that or join MMOart if they'd ever take me on..

    The original ball point sketch if anyone's interested.

    ShadowGhost, thank you for the feedback. You're right, there are issues with the hips/pelvis area. Unfortunately for me, it only became clear when I was in the later stages of the colouring.. so too late for changes. >_<

    Kooma, hmmm... interesting.
    I appreciate your draw-over ^^ it does help indeed.
    I would go back and change the leg like you are suggesting
    However, for argument's sake, I find the neck to go well with the nonchalant pose I was trying to give her..
    But I am keeping your draw-over for reference though :P

    Thanks again for your replies..

    Orina!

    Recieved a couple of pm's with screenshots, Orina's Fire/Fire Tank pictures were calling me ^^

    So after being ingame all day yesterday, I took what started to look like a small break. The result? it's 6 am and I'm finished. >< I can see daylight peeking through the blinds and thankfully the birds' chant can't cover my listening to Tool's new album ...

    Anyway, Orina's:
    Inked version
    Final coloured version

    Comments and criticism are welcome..
  16. Send screenshots my way.

    As I mentionned earlier, if I can find the time, I'll do something ^^ But work, bills, the pub and CoX comes first :P
  17. Yeah, I use an old Wacom, A5 graphire 4x5.

    Btw, it's a hard angle to draw characters in. But can be very gratifying to eventually make it happen. So keep at it ^^
  18. Thanks all for your replies ^^

    Galdagirl is chuffed with the result -the player, not the toon obviously :P - So I'm happy with it too ^^

    Dear lord, no.

    "Waiting for I7" ....*chuckles away*

    Dear lord, no.

    Oh man! that was genius! XD

    Seriously, do more please!












    Fair play to you, mate.... fair play..
  21. Update:

    GaldaGirl -finally- finished.
    Link

    Damn thing took a while to complete!

    Ok now I can move on to commissions...
  22. Wow!
    I like it very much!

    She's very sexy

    I'm gonna nit-pick here:

    -I'm concerned about her pelvis/shoulder link. They don't seem like they're in syncronized opposites. I know this term is totally wrong but allow me to illustrate this:
    syncronized opposites 1
    syncronized opposites 2

    -I'm also thinking she might need more peachiness. But that totally is a matter of taste...

    Quick Draw-over to illustrate my thoughts because it's late and I'm old..

    Otherwise, very nice choice of colours, and I can feel a keen and assertive attitude, wanting to kick butt!

    More please!

    Anyone can learn to draw if they out time into it

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Indeed.
    Think of it as music. Anyone can become a passionate virtuoso if they practice long and hard enough...

    Thanks again for your replies.. Am trying to get some more commisions done.. which is hard considering my WS just hit 44 last night..

    H-K, yeah thanks for the good words mate... Am still waiting for Grimm to stroke my ego dammit

    Pious, mate thanks for stars.^^
    I also have problems with shading and colouring. I really try to look at my surroundings and observe how light settles on objects and which way shadows spawn from that.

    ..still so much to learn ><
  24. Invision Power Board - best board in my opinion

    ProBoards - simple and free and does the job.
