I wonder how the pad came into problems with Trinity, and the chick from underworld..or yourself in that costume.

Awsome pic though. ^_^

Firia, do you have a link on those? I'd really love to see...!

[edit]

Oh! Now the attatchment shows up. W00TIES!

Pad and a catsuit? I dunno really. I can imagine how it'd work, but it wouldn't be a happy thing. ^_^

Glad everyone liked it.

*Sexors all of the artists and just waiting for his pimp leet to be done gosh darn it. It's soo hard these days to get a starving artist to do work for you, especially when they aren't starving anymore*

*LOL* Soooorry Nex, ^_^ I forgot.
If it's any consolation, I am kinda hungry.

<--- lost his artistic skills somewhere in the mess I called High School. I used to be able to draw really well... as long as people were not involved. I never got the proportions right. I think that now, I just dont have the patience for it.

In any case.. props to those who still have the skeelz.

by **Firia** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 6:17 pm

ever consider just going with the misproportioned bodies? I've seen some GREAT work done by artists that don't proportion their characters limbs right, or things seem disjointed.

by **Ichyro** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 10:29 pm

Yup, Misproportioned bodies are great, and successful.

I mean look at chibi.

by **Oddysee** » Tue Oct 28, 2003 10:46 pm

Or any other aspect of manga... For that matter...

Yup, I mean not everything looks realistic.

Each artist has their own way. I mean Rumiko Takahashi has Ranma/inuyashas style of characters..

Ryo Mizuno had his fairly realistic Record of lodoss war characters, and Jin-Roh had some of the most realistic done characters.

Everyones got a route, not all of it is realistic, or what some consider "Good". ^_^

Well, I'm sure you two had your own points, but I had another. ^_^ But I realise that I just failed to make it really.

being as how I'm always struggling to get better and better, I draw. Alot. ^_^ Compairing my work from three years ago, I see so much impovment on my part, it's unreal. I've even practiced different techniques and such as I grew. The fact that I had a skill base, even as poor in quality as it was, allowed me to practice and experiment.

If you never draw, and you try new things, you may fail in the experiment (that may have worked), AND failed in your attempt to create what you wanted. Having a skill base lets you grow and try new things. You learn and adapt, and change your style to accomidate what works, and eventually lose what doesn't.

I wanna put it in video game terms, cause it seems like such a keen analagy. :mrgreen:

Lets see if my brain can cook it up correctly. I'm going to make some AO items up to do it.

[game jazz] Ok, You're an AO character. You want to use a Cloaking Device. It takes a 70 skill in Stealth, or whatever it's called. You also have an advanced hybrid Cloaking device that lets you do snazy things, like jump higher, or shoot your gun better. It requires a Higher skill, and some skill in other fields.

to even atempt to use the hybrid cloaker, you need to be first proficiant at using the basics. THEN you can expand onto whatever else you can.

[end jazz]

So start with the basics. Even if your people are disjointed or misproportioned, you can still learn so much from just working with it. Or even incorperate it, or over time you'll find a method that works for you to proportion limbs and such.

I just recently watched the Animatix. There was a short with a runner guy, and limbs were VERY exagerated from what could be considered realistic even for anime. That style is so special and so unique that it'll be reconised right away.

That is if you have the patience for that. If not, then I'll just shut it right now. ^_^;

I am not as patient as Pirate Latex-wearing Queen Firia. ^_^

Nah, my hands are a bit shakey, its hard to even draw a straight line. My creaitivity flows through writing, and making modules for NWN, as well as trying to make maps for WC III, and so on.

by **Tacz** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 9:56 pm

Im working on making a airsoft comic thats chibi =D

hehe, we named my cat Chibi, she was the runt of her litter. Shes so cute! *hugs kitty*

by **Oddysee** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 10:03 pm

Lol, yeah, my hand's shaky as hell... I always lean my forehead against it while drawin... people think I'm asleep when I do it lol!
But it's a pain at times... especially for cirkles... a downright bugger there... But I get by... tho I always have to sketch first cus of it... Takes a lil' longer...

*BUMP!*

This thread has been bumbed by the ACCOMWTPMD (Association Currently Consisting Of Me Wanting To Promorte More Drawing) or PMD (Promote more drawing) for short.

The goal of this bump is to make said artist take up drawing again, and show us more work. Failure to do so will result in lots of angry finger shaking!

Viva la PMD! :twisted:
