Well, I figured that, since there are other people with little artwork topics, I would make one too. It seems fun and harmless enough, and if there is anything I have a lot of, it's art.
I don't know how much KB my pictures are, so hopefully, this first one will work. Someone made an idea for a Mars adept, and I have made a rough colouring of it just so that I can keep track of the colours. If anyone wants me to change the colours a bit, I am flexible, but keep in mind the person who came up with the idea first. Deviantart is being all @#$ (f*cking aggravating garbage) on me, so I can't upload it right now. (lol.) If the first try doesn't let me post it, I'll make the picture smaller and try again.
I think the person that came up with the concept was Jamietheflameuser or something like that... Check the boards for a post by someone who says that it is an idea that comes from someone else. The character's name is Tiria (i think)
She looks pretty good. She almost reminds me of Jenna, but I think that is what I like about it. Something does seem off about the boots, but she looks really good otherwise.
Have a nice day.
Thanks. ^^ I like something about her boots, but I also hate something else in honesty. I was actually playing with that a few minutes ago and just gave up for now.
This time I have Dehcehira Roc. She is one of my characters, and I love her dearly. Her passion lies in dancing with dangerous, poisonous flowers found on the Fyohlr planet, a place I go to in my dreams. She's generally quiet and reserved. She is actually engaged to Shaow; a demon that is undergoing training to take on the role as the "Dark Lord" or "Satan" or whatever you all want to call him.
The next is a 3d image of a bus I made in my free time. What can I say. I was bored two years ago.
For the third one, I redrew character ideas for my brother (because his art isn't as good as mine yet) and they ended up turning out extremely well. It's fun drawing other people's characters sometimes.
Edit: I don't know why, put it posted Dehcehira twice...
They seem hit and miss at first, BUT, it also looks like it's because of how much time and effort you put into them. Upon closer inspection, though, most of them are hits, while a few of them look like its' more initial sketch-like. Very good overall, just remember that it's quality that we're looking for, not quantity. So when it comes to the application, remember that it's not the amount of pics or character you give us, it's how good they look. Works like Dehcehira will easily pass, assuming the color job keeps up the epic quality.
Oh, that gives me a great idea! I know how to easily clear up Tiria's picture and make it digital of course, but how about I show you guys what I have so far on the adept I want to make? Then you will have an idea of how Tiria with turn out. And I know you are looking for quality. That is way I named the file "rough colour". It basically means that it is a reference for me. I was just wondering if anyone like the design. Like how Salanewt doesn't like the boots. I agree fully, and will work on changing them for the digital copy.
Btw, Most of those pictures are sketched or are unfinished. The bus is the only finished thing I posted so far. ^^;
Anyway, the file was big so I had to reduce it by 70% to get it to an easier-to-upload size. Here he is! :happy:
Yes, Tiria is Jamie's character so he'd be the main one to talk to about tweaking her design. He'll probably notice this topic eventually.
I can tell you put a lot of effort into the drawing of Dehcira, but you can't see her face! Other than that it's pretty amazing.
You seem fairly talented, but feet stand out as a weak point in your drawings. Feet & Hands seem to be what many people have the most difficulty with, though you seem to have hands down pretty well.
The main thing to keep in mind is that the front of the feet aren't truly round, they're skewed so that the tip is between the Big toe and the one next to it with the little toe being furthest back. Also there's a very noticeable downward slope toward the back of the foot where it attaches to the leg that levels out at the front before the toes.
Your adept looks pretty good as well, but... Photoshop's built in pattern fills? Really? Since the patterns don't conform to the contours on your character the only purpose they're serving is to negate the shading by flattening out the image.
I might have to message the person someday anyway.
You spelled Dehcehira's name wrong. XD In anycase, you aren't supposed to see her face in that picture. When I finish it, she should blend in with rose petals a bit. Being drawn more to the side gives the picture less blankness and more focus on the overall picture that I am planning.
Yeah, feet are difficult, but I disagree with the hands statement. I can't draw hands. Those hands took me 4 days alone on my Jupiter adept. Both hands and feet are largely noticable flaws in my art. The bends in the clothes are a pass, but they need work. I also can't draw boobs or "private parts", but they aren't nessissary here, so it's okay. Thankfully, the boots are as they should be. I have a similar shaped pair at home I used as a reference. Thank you for giving me feedback on my art, though. It is much appreciated. I can't tell you how greatful I am that you're so nice and critical. Other people just tell me I am amazingly good, and don't recognize my flaws. It kind of sucks.
Actually, I re-shade the textures. It was actually a texturizer. I wasn't trying to make anything too amazing yet because I still have to finish the other parts, flaten, and then re-shade it. Personally, I love the shirt though. It turned out uneven, but I like it anyway. I don't use pattern fills usually. Infortunately, those textures are actually making the picture look better. I kept unfiltered versions that aren't texturized, so I could easily restore it if you want to see it without the textures.
That's not exactly what I had in mind, but I like it! I figured the spikes on the headband would stick out the front rather than the top, though.
Dang, you're good at art. What, you say you suck at hands? LIES. The hands on Tiria are pretty good. The left hand looks a little bit off, though.
My only complaint other than that is her boots. They could use a bit of work, mostly with shading near the toes.
I like the staff design. I wonder what you'd come up with for her other weapons? (Hammers and Light Blades are her other weapon types.)
(The boobs are a bit too big as well, but we won't get into that...)
Those hands were flukes, but thank you anyway. It's a rough colour, so shading wasn't important. I'm planning on changing the design a bit. Um... I'll have to go check what her weapon types are, but if you wouldn't mind, maybe make a description that I can work off of for the weapons. It wouldn't have to be detailed or anything.
I seen her as more of a flatter chest in my mind, but I suck at drawing boobs, so they have a tendency to exaggerate themselves a bit... I'll do my best with them anyway. It's difficult to get a model for boob form though, because most of the boobs on the internet are friggin' huge... ugh...
Alrighty. I'll get working on her new design right away. I should have a rough sketch for you tomorrow, if you would like.
Well, one thing I can tell you is that her hammers are small enough to be one-handed, even if due to Generic Battle Stances they end up being wielded two-handed (which they might). Probably the generic hammer sprite would be something like if you took King Dedede's hammer and smallified it so it could be one-handed.
And the top lining of her boots needs to be wider, so they look less like she's wearing generic rubber boots, because of course rubber wouldn't really exist in GS, and anyway rubber is hardly cool adventuring equipment.
For model for boob form if you need it, uh... Jenna, that's all I can really suggest. Just look at other GS characters. (Problem is, most of the official art for female GS characters has a top-down view, so argh.)
You should fix the fact that her left hand is webbed between the forefinger and thumb. The skin stretching from the forefinger to thumb starts coming out one joint too early - it's coming out of her knuckle. Other than that, the hand is perfect.
Alrighty. I'll see what I can do. I'll have the sketch of her tomorrow and work on the weapons a little later. I already have new images, I just have to draw them.
Woops, lol. K, I'll watch for that! XD
I need naked models... ^^; sorry... I draw people naked, then add stuff.
One of the reasons I told you I sucked at hands. XD I'll work on it.
Thanks again for your feedback.
OK! I have for you, Tiria's new version 3 rough sketch! Now, I included the base for one reason: to clear up the perversion nonscence. Please look at it to see that my "nudies" are somply forms with no detail or anything. I may be a perv, but even I have limits to what I will do. Unless I need to draw it to get a story moving, I will not draw porn.
In anycase, I love her new boots! I still fail at drawing feet, but that's okay I guess. The boots like like they can take a lot of wear and tear, as well as being the kind of boots where you won't have to fiddle with holes to put new laces in when you break them. You just hook them onto the little metal hooks! I may take the extra short sleeves off because they don't really fit the picture, and she seems like should be an optimal movement type when it comes to her arms.
I knew exactly what you were talking about, it's a fairly standard practice to first draw characters undetailed without clothes, then add them when you have the basic form. It can be difficult to get the anatomy correct otherwise.
I like how you did the hair, and the new boots look great. I'd take a closer look at where you placed the edge of her left breast in the anatomy drawing versus after you drew her clothing. The perspective on her left foot seems to have been changed as well, it went from a front on view, to more of above from the right. Really the only problems I see are that you didn't stick to the base drawing, all the more evidence of it's importance.
Yeah, but I was acting like a perv the other day,so I just wanted to clear that up with Jamie a bit. XD
I made it look like she wasn't wearing a bra... whoops... Remember, the base doesn't have to be followed at all, it's a guideline. I had to use it to make her breasts smaller. keep in mind to that the shirt is a thicker material. as for the feet, believe it or not, that's the same perspective. I just really suck at drawing feet. I can't stress that enough. The boot that is pointing down will be brought up before the inking, it's just drawn like that so I remember what goes where. I've stuck to the base for everything except for the feet, really, but thats because my feet bases suck so much it turns out better when I don't follow them.
Even so, since her breasts aren't large there isn't enough of them there to be deformed that much even with a thicker shirt. You'd probably be best off not having a definite line there at all, but instead using some subtle shading.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v698/AtriusV/Games/Golden%20Sun%20Project/Tiria.jpg)
It's pretty rough, but it's just to give you an example of what I'm talking about, and yeah, I wouldn't have expected to see that detail in a sketch really. In yours though, it looks like it goes all the way back against her arm which she has behind her back.
OH! Now I see what you mean! On the side with the pouch, right? I didn't even draw that boob at all, because there is no way other than shading to acurately deffine it's position without ruining the picture. ^^; That line is for the shirt, not the boob. The other boob will loose more form yet too, so you shouldn't gasp "deformations!" just yet. You'll see what I mean in the rough colour, or maybe in the inked lineart.
Sorry about that. XD
Here we are. Since Jamie posts too quickly for me, I found little time to upload this.
Wow, great job!
That's seriously good. I don't have any good compliments available, it's not like I can say "it's far better than anything I could do" or anything, because I suck at art. I also can't compare it to the art of others without being disrespectful.
Oh, do not worry. I was wondering if this is good enough to make a digital version of, as it would take a considerably long time to create another.
Good enough? GOOD ENOUGH? OF COURSE IT'S BLOODY WELL GOOD ENOUGH! What are you, crazy?
Wait, nevermind that...
However you say it, I am glad you approve. We will begin the digital version on Wednesday, as we will probably not have much time until then.
Yeah, sorry about that. It's not like I could ask for anything better though. I mean, you're doing this kind of quality art... for free!
Last I checked, this art was not proffessional quality, and a person should contribute to their interests in free will.
In that case, I'd say you probably haven't checked!
... you have cause me to recal something. You may be right, so I should not argue with you until I know that I can not be proven wrong.
It is of excellent quality, the clothing folds in particular look expertly done, although... The perspective on her left foot still looks off to me... I see what you're doing with it tilted so the back part is off the ground, but looking at the perspective of her other foot, and how straight the upper part that leg is, it seems like the foot should be placed further back.

...Meh. Hey, Sala, wanna skip formalities here? Their skills are quite apparent.

Once again, I naturally suck at drawing feet, but I will do my best to improve.

Wasn't the application to draw one of the characters that had no art? This is my application... Now that I have a design that has been approved, I may begin the digital colour. You guys can sure make a person embarrassed! You are all giving me too much credit... There are still so many flaws in it...
The fact that you view that as flawed shows how good you are. We can't tell. Anywho, I can't wait to see these colored. If Sala agrees, we'll get Atrius to promote you.
I wouldn't mind seeing some spritework first, but I agree with Role that you should be an artist for the community project. In fact, I think I would be upset if you don't manage to become one.
As for your drawings... They look good to me. I do see flaws, but it takes a talented artist to see their flaws.
So, I think there are at least two votes for you to come in, any others (though I hardly see the need for any others)?
Have a nice day.

You are wrong. I have friends that can pick out all of their mistakes, but have trouble drawing anywhere near Atrius's level. The only reason I am even a bit good at art is because It's all I can do. I don't have any reason to do much else. If your body drew 4-12 pictures a day, you would agree.

How about this, Sala. I'll make the sprites for the character I'm planning on making after I finish Tiria's drawing. If you would like, you could put me down as a concept artist until I supply all of you with an example of some sprites.That way, I will still technically be an artist, but something like an apprentice as I learn how to make my skills useful here. This will give me time to look around and re-find what sizes and all the different angles that I will have to make for the sprites.
Also (mostly for those who were curious) the topic of whether all my personalities were good at art came up. The answer is no, and I have decided to post an example here for all of you. not all of the personalities can use the body quite proprly... so anyway, here is one of Kotarou's drawings.
Then it's decided, the community project officially has a new artist.

No, silly. I quite enjoy your art. Your drawings have emotions to them, and everything is well portraid. I am just saying that there is far worse than you out there who realize their mistakes; therefore meaning that noticing my mistakes doesn't make me a better artist at all. It's what I do about my mistakes that makes me improve.
okay, well, the feet sucked so much, i had to do an intesive 6 hour study on them to make up for it. Here is some of the stuff I did during that time.
I was bored in class, so Sodde Kai made a pencil crayon-coloured version XD Anyways, here it is.
impressive, and the picture before of the feet... awesome
thanks ^^
Oh yeah, the boots look much better now. I think you have outdone yourself on this artwork. The shoes have been fixed, and she still looks like she is standing in a comfortable position... Excellent!
Have a nice day.
lol thanks, but we didnt change the feet from the last outline that much at all ^^;
Yeah, but the colours and the fact that there is slightly more shading makes it look like her ankle is normal looking.
Still though, she looks pretty good... I wish I could draw in a similar style as yours. If I ever decide to upload an image myself, I can show you what I mean by the different style.
Have a nice day.
Lol yea, I know what styles can be, no worried. Mine's actually a thicker version of Rumiko Takahashi's later Inu-yasha drawing styles. You can see that best in the faces, usually.
My very first sprite frame! ^^ It's the caharcter in this link: http://rtssh21.deviantart.com/art/Jupiter-Adept-inked-160434815 Hopefully, If Atrius is able to make an option where a person can run around as the character that is first in their party, I might be able to contribute or make my own hack so that this character can run around someday. ^^
Sky: Well, I tried spriting... but it really does look like he's walking backwards... ^^; Um, and the other one was just for fun. I noticed how his head moved, so... ^^; I thought it was silly...
Sky: I did it! Here he is! ^^ It's only one of eight directions, but here is the jupiter adept above that I was working on. i make his head blend a little so that it didn't look like a cut and paste job, fixed the left leg in frame one and the right leg in frame one, etited the hair's top shading, made his hair longer and actually move in the wind a bit, and gave him the slightest little limp for his bad left ankle. He still looks a little off, but I think he looks quite good the way he is right now. What do all of you think?
Rose: And now I'm just being silly! XD Look what I made Isaac do! XD i can't tell if it's the dance the banana does, or the caramelldance!
Your sprites are interesting. I like Isaac's dancing animation... If his arms were moving up and down, each arm opposite of the other, then it would remind me of Superstar Saga.
Also, the walking animation is diagonal, correct? Not too shabby!
Have a nice day.
I never played Superstar Saga before. I just thought it would be hularious if I made Isaac sance. He's got the little body for it. I don't think I would be able to get Garet to dance, but I could try. I know I can get the other two in that group anyway. XD
Yeah, that is one of the diagonals. Sky did that. XD It's the very first sprite any of us have ever made, so there are a few little quirks to fix, but she says "thank you" anyways. XD
I think you should still say "Have a May day." XD
I will consider saying May Day...
Also, I think Garet could dance... I have something for rocking his arms from the left to right... Anyway, you are good at spriting.
Have a nice day.
Rose: You should consider it. It's awsome. XD
I was thinking of making Garet do the chicken dance XD and Ivan moonwalking. I don't know what to do for the other characters though.
And thanks for the compliment! I may have to work into this spriting stuff a lot more.
Artwork update (since school's finally out, i got lotsa crap to show know) X3 i also decided what my hack of golden sun is going to be, so now i can make my own too (while still contributing to the community's, of course)

Wow, you guys are REALLY lenient. Luckily for RTS I'm not the global mod anymore, otherwise that'd have been a swift and severe punishment...
I must still recommend purging it from the site, rather than just using a spoiler tag, though.
oh, its not THAT BAD, Role. bad, thats true, but not that bad. i figured out how to do the spoiler thing now though, so all ends well. and besides, if you read it, you'll find its really cute X3 i am sorry though >.< im not good with forums, so i have a tendancy of messing up like that ^^;
This is supposed to be a PG13 site, you know... you hit R with that. Better safe than sorry - if one of the young brats younger members of the forum is caught by a parent when they open the spoiler tag, they could easily have us shut down just by contacting the authorities. Since we have no age warning, we'd be screwed.
that cant really be R already o.o i thought it was pretty tame... i figured the picture was more like older audiences. 16+. thanks to Atrius, theres a warning on it now, so it should be okay. iono. i'll bug Atrius about it. if its that big of a deal and he wants me to remove it, i will. i dont mind, i understand ^^;
You've got no idea how bad parents can get when it comes to protecting their child's "virgin eyes", do you? It's best to err on the side of caution. If there's not a disclaimer on the main page saying you have to be so old to enter, don't have it. Period.
Well Atrius is the boss, and he says its okay. and i know a lot about parents. thats why i dont like most of them. i'll just be careful not to post pictures too similar to it from now on, k?
Honestly I find the notion that the human body itself can be considered a bad thing to be rather ridiculous. Depending on the gender of the person it's nothing they don't see every day when they bathe or change clothes anyway.
However this is a community for people of all ages, and many parents would disagree with me. The only exception to the rule will be in art topics where it is an original work not of a sexual/pornographic nature, and proper warnings (IE: Spoiler tag with reason set correspondingly) must be in place. If the majority of the work posted by someone applies, they're better off finding a different community to show off their work, and may have their artwork topic deleted.
Well, you're the boss. I'm still a bit paranoid when it comes to this kinda thing, but... oh well.
yeah, i always thought it was disrespectful to treat bodies with such shame too. i remember being like 4 and asking mom about that. she said its embarassing, and i would figure it out later, but i still dont really see why the body is so suposidly discusting.
all i have to do is figure out what age to put it as, and be sure to not post similar things too often. dont worry too much Role, i'll be more careful from now on, k? ^^ also, my friend's mom is a lawyer, and i just asked her about it. she said its fine if i put the proper warnings, so all is good
@Role: Yeah, well, you're paranoid about lots of things! XD
*brick'd*
^ What everyone wanted to say but didn't.
...For rather obvious reasons.
XD aww, Jamies (sort of) taking my side~
Since when am I taking your side?
Since you told Role she worries too much. ^^ (thats also why i had to say sort of. i mean, anyone would have that reply, and you like to be annoyed at me, so agreeing with me would most likely be unintentional)
explaining the joke itt
@RT: It's not that I LIKE to be annoyed at you. In fact, I try very hard to get along with you!
To me, though, it seems that you are making a deliberate effort to be annoying!
To Leaf: i'll explain anything for Jamie~ X3 also, he's a little thick in the head, so i kind of have to~ :heart:
To Jamie: oh, your just not trying~ X3 its easy to get along with me~ im adorable and harmless~ XD

lol ok~ X3 i'll be happy to help whenever i can~
just a little something...
That person in the pic looks like a cross between Naruto and Inuyasha (Characters not the shows themselves)
whaaat? Naruto? are you friggin' blind? he looks nothing like that screwball. i take that as an insult, you know. i HATE naruto.
as for inuyasha... where do you see that? o.0 the long hair? it is a chibi, so it doesnt have any detail, so... i guess...?
I was talking about the ears >_<
And yeah, that ramen eating freak needs to die, or make him less annoying, either way his personality sucks. He's like the anime version of Cloud Strife to me.
even the depressing reatard Cloud is far better than Naruto. i sissaprove of them both. anyways, the character has ears because he's a fox spirit (and a vampire too, but thats a story thats unimportant)
Jeeze, what ISN'T a vampire these days?
I swear to god, if he sparkles, I'll kill him.
ok, for the record, that character has been a vampire since the year 2000. im not kidding. i also dispise sparkling vampires. theres limits to how far absurdity should go. he's technically more of a halfbreed kinda thing. he's a vampire, yeah, but not to the extent of others. he only needs to replace his blood by drinking other's blood every month or so, or after having a fight with someone or accidently cutting himself on something.
I see. Well, I guess while I'm here, I might as well make a stab at twilight. See here (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YourVampiresSuck) for details.
id rather not look at yet ANOTHER twilight stab. i hate twilight, and i leave it at that. besides, its not like theres anything left to stab anyways
Nah, it's not that bad. Just a link to the TV Tropes Article on "Your Vampires Suck". The example picture alone is worth it, for the lulz.
lol XD yeah, i just checked it, your right. XD
Of course I am. I'm me.
...however ive seen FAR BETTER. X3
oh yeah, and since this is an art topic, and i has more art, i should probably post that XD
Mature warning because it looks like it has a vagina? lol iono XD anyways, my very first crap try at watercolour. its a plant that exists in the world of Fyohlr (the place inside my head that most of the personalities were born in) Its the AhSTAhRU flower.
[spoiler](http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2010/175/f/6/AhSTAhRU_Flower_by_RTSSH21.jpg)[/spoiler]
and later that day, Fyohlr's NUhUUuxAh flower. (after i improved a little bit, anyways)
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/175/8/a/NUhUUuxAh_Flower_by_RTSSH21.jpg)
so of course, these were made a while ago, but i just uploaded them recently.
Those look nice. I do not see what can apparently be seen in the first flower though.
First try at watercolour? Probably could have gotten away without telling me (but then again, I do not use watercolours very often).
Also, that second flower looks like an artichoke (it looks nice, but also like an artichoke is all). Beautiful drawings, once again.
Have a nice day.
its in the middle XD its painted badly, so its hard to tell
ive never seen an artichoke that looked like that o.o i thought artichoked were green stem-looking things. thats what they looked like when we cooked some at school anyways o.0
Really? I thought it was a mouth of something (almost reminded me of something that could be related to Venus Fly Traps).
Also, they usually are green with stems. The shape of the protruding part seems to somewhat resemble an artichoke anyway (and I suppose the leafy part is cabbage?). Still pretty nice though.
Have a nice day.
lol
hmm... well, i dont really see the artichoke thing, but oh well.
FINALLY finished it! holy crap, this was difficult to do! i tried to paint this photo:
http://eman333.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d14qmq6 with more redish colour to it and it worked suprisingly well. (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/179/9/9/Black_Dragon_Pool_entry_by_RTSSH21.jpg)
mmmmk... so I'm having troubles with the orange-red hair, so that need to be fixed, but heres something for you all to gawk at. i told you it was almost finished and that i just had to tweak a few things. i wasnt kidding.
also, youtube video of me working on it. lol.
Nice.
I like. Lots.
But, yeah. Hair needs to be fixed as you said, but other than that it's pretty awesome! ^.^
*gives virtual cookie*
yay for the virtual cookie~ X3
im actually working some epic print-scan-photoshoping that will keep those colours and make the picture higher quality. it might be easier for me to fix the hair that way. ive saved pictured many times before, i'll save this one too.
Okay! Here's the watercolour painting I took all night to do. I edited the weapon a little for a bit of a mars tail around teh sphere (made it look a little more suiting, I think) and few other small edits. I practiced the GS style a bit to try and copy it, and admitedly failed a bit, but who knows, meybe putting it through a PS filter will fix her up quick. I got better at the inking of the lines for a more GS style, but other than that, the contrast was too difficult to pull off.
She also has the djinni named Lava with her. Just randomly.

Oh wow .... really nice >< you are really good at sketching and drawing
RTGreece21. This one really worth it's time.
:happy:
:Garet:
Wow, that's amazing RT! Definitely can see the time you put into it.
Thanks :happy: :heart: i just have to fix some of the shading, delete the backround, turn it into a PNG file, and then the official art style here will be readily usable ( :idea: no backround PNG allows it to be easily popped into other pictures, if anyone wants to) and then make the sprites (which will take an eternity. UGH. :fury: :um:)
I can't wait to see what Jamie says. ^^ he's been waiting for so long... :sad: i feel bad that he had to wait because i havd no confidence and had to practice. I'm sure he'll be relieved to finally have a printable, awesome picture of his own character. ^^~ :heart:
:heart:
:Felix:
It looks pretty spectacular, RT! As the others have stated before me, the time that you put in burns through. Watercolour is also fun to use, as it can be harder to mix colours with it than with acrylic. However, you have done quite well with it.
Have a nice day.
:heart:
:Felix: thanks ~
:happy:
:Felix: I think if i play around with filters a bit, i could find something to give it that "finishing touch" to make it look right.
:Sweat:
:Felix: I also need to make a list of everything I have to do since I got better and faster at watercolours. Maybe i'll be able to power through the list. I also found someone who might join to make sprites. she's not entirely sure yet if she wants to.
You are welcome. Filters are cool, so you should be able to find something to use for finishing touches. It would be fun to make sprites for that character. I kind of see her as a combination of Jenna and Karst, oddly enough.
I wish you and your friend good luck when making the sprites. If you require assistance, you can ask me if you want.
Have a nice day.
Your drawings are really good but the one thing that's bugging me a lot is the proportions of the chest. It makes the characters look very stocky and squished.
ah, thats probably actually because she's wearing a few layers (even though we cant see all of them) and i didnt give her very big boobs. its just the way i thought the chaacter should be built >.<;
Honestly? I liked the previous pose better (lots better), and something about the face there doesn't look right. But the staff is cool.
The chest is at the wrong angle. It's like her chest is being viewed from a different perspective than the rest of the body, and it looks really messed up. Take a look for yourself. The horns on the headband have a bit of perspective funk going on as well.
Also, SCARF? Considering she's a Mars Adept, and considering she probably lives near Magma Rock, I doubt a scarf is really necessary... Or at least, she doesn't need to be wearing it that high up her neck. She wasn't in the last piece of art.
But it's still pretty awesome. Looks more pixelated than the previous one, though. You used something like Appleworks or Paint, didn't you?
On a mostly unrelated note, I think Chili covers the sentiment better than Lava does.
er... i thought the previous pose kinda looked odd o.o; should i redo it as the other pose instead then? or choose a pose similar to the last one, sketch it, and have you look at the sketch before i actually paint it? I have the colours right, so whoever decides to make the sprites will have an accurate refference. (if i dont have teh time)
the chest is actually the right angle, it just doesnt look that way because the ties/bindings/whatever are odd like that. should i change their position then?
i do apologize for the horns though, i went to ink them and they turned out funny... >.< that was just bad luck.
i didnt change the scarf o.o; its probably just the angle, sorry. i thought that, once she's away from magma rock, she'd be cold because she'd be travelling where it wasnt so hot. (basically, after leaving magma rock, her sprite would change to have a scarf and the big grey shirt to keep her warm, or something like that.)
i... painted it o.o; with water colours. traditionally. no digital. yet. i planned on maybe adding a filter or something, but for now, its as the original painting is, its just the scan.
er... i really dont have them all memorized! >.<; which one is chili, and what does it do? where abouts is it found in Dark Dawn, so i can go see what I need to draw it as? maybe i could have lava AND chili flyin' through the air, thatd be cute... haha.
so, i guess, i'll sketch out a pose or two, you can compare it to the previous drawing, and see whatcha like? i really didnt like the previous pose because it felt too b***hy. >.<;;
as for her facial structure, woops. XD i was admitedly looking at a picture of mathew to try and catch the style, which wasnt so bad with the shading, but i did fail a bit... >.<;
Yeah, but the current pose makes her look like a bunny rabbit. I thought the other one was more of a casual "I'm just standing around minding my own business" pose. Not like she was going to have her picture taken.
The ties look like they're off to one side. Was that intentional?
Really? The scarf looks like it's higher up her neck than in the previous shot. I guess it makes sense that she'd want a scarf in other places though. LOL, she'd be an even bigger wimp in the cold than I am!
Really? You painted it? Eh... Now that I look at it again, I have no idea what I was talking about. The lines could perhaps stand to be a bit thicker, however. Not much else to say there.
Chili is the little baby-looking Djinni who attacks with a burst of fireworks. Lava is the fat one who barfs magma on enemies. You can probably see why Chili captures the sentiment better.
ooh... bunny reabbit... i se ethat now, yeah, thats gotta be fixed... ehh....
er... yeah. o.o; did you want them centered? maybe i can play with it a bit... itd make her look like she had more boobs though XD
so, keep the scarf then? XD i did think itd be cute for her to be all cold, since itd make sence. people from california think that spring and fall here in canada is winter weather, i kinda got the thought from that. haha.
watercolour paper is probably what made it look odd... but its faster to work with, i had the current pick done on a day. i'll work on the lines again thoug, they're out of my comfort zone, so i have to practice.
daw~ mmmk. i'll look for it, but sinve she wont be touching the djinni (they'll be in the pick like lava) they can be easily erased and replaced with a different djinni. maybe i'll look through the ones i have on my restarted file on GS:DD. see what i can find.
Right now it makes her look like one boob is bigger than the other. o.o
Yeah, keep the scarf. It's a nice touch.
Watercolour paper? I wouldn't know what that would do. still, you're very good at this stuff.
As I said, the Djinni doesn't really matter, since it's only a doodle off in the corner. If you did a pic with her holding a Djinni, that could be pretty cute, though.
A pic of her looking at the ground with a magnifying glass and a hammer and chisel could also be something to do if you need a pose, since she's an archeologist by trade.
There's definitely something weird going on with the angle of her upper body. The perspective on her right (yes her right, not ours) shoulder seems to be throwing it off a bit. It also might help to look at how her hair is flowing on her right side of her face, it makes it seem like there's less depth back to her shoulder than there should be considering how her head is angled compared to her body.
That must explain why it looks like her shoulders are slouched forward.
Edit: Found a picture of the Djinni Chili. (http://media.goldensun-syndicate.net/icon/djinn/chili.gif)
hm... okay, in my next sketches i'll try centering or changing the design of her upper-body clothes. i'll deffinately looking into some archeologist thoughts though... that might be cute.
daw, chili is cute~ XD im gonna go through the game anyways and once i find chili, he'll have a picture in the encyclopedia thats a bit bigger and will help me more.
anyways, in my free time, i sketched something else for a comic im starting up, haha.
a golden sun parody-style walkthrough done in comics. this is going to be the cover, when im done with it. what do you guys think?
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/007/b/d/walking_in_goldensunshine_wip__by_rtssh21-d36mr54.jpg)
He's wearing boxer shorts? No pants? Um... what? And why does his outfit suddenly look like a combination of his and Jenna's? Is he crossdressing?
I think it is based on this picture:
(http://goldensun.neoseeker.com/w/i/goldensun/9/92/250px-IsaacPromo.jpg)
It looks kind of funny RT. It also makes me wonder how he lost his pants though.
Have a nice day.
NM, I'm just not used to seeing Isaac's chestplate from that angle.
But what happened to Isaac's pants?
:happy:
:Mia:
Darnit Mia! You can't have Isaac! He's with Jenna, you know!
:Sweat:
:Isaac:
And you really should give him his pants back.
haha, yeah, thats what i based it off of, sala XD
and Jamie, the reason he doesnt have pants is one of the jokes im gonna put in the comic. he's gonna forget his pants. later, in GSDD (if i get that far) Matthew will also loose his pants everytime he climes a tree or something. its just something that i thought would be funny. it is a parody, after all, so odd stuff will happen.
So how are the comics coming along RT? I also have a quick question... do you plan on having single pictures to introduce major areas? For example, a painting of Mercury Lighthouse, or of Kolima? I might not have enough time to draw full comics, but I could happily paint single snapshots of important areas to feed my new hobby.
fairly good, for now im just replaying teh first game and comming up with a loose script. ive drawn 2 comics, and the main page is done and everything, i just wanna make sure i'll have a head start before i actually launch it. i dont ant to end up going more than a month without putting up something, ya know?
i think the single picture for major areas is a cute idea. i was going to put in something similar using comic boxs and stuff. you're more than welcome to make some pictures like that if you want. the first places are Vale and Sol Sanctum, so if you want to, go ahead ^^~.
one of the things i was going to do was take snapshots and make maps to show where all the items are, indicated but the item's sprite. im largly undecided for it though, but i liked the thought.
Yeah, that is perfectly understandable.
I can work on pictures soon. I have some other art assignments to do, but one of them could be Mount Aleph (to be renamed for submission), not to mention exams next week.
Maps are good idea. Personally, I would just draw little "item" strips that can be plugged into the main story strips, or something.
hm... what do you think the launch date should be then? Near the beginning of february?
but yeah, i was thinking maybe one of the djinni could be an abstract artist, and only one of the characters (most likely mia?) would have enough appreciation for art to make out the maps in the paintings or something silly like that. im gonna have isaac get abused and no one will listen to him and sillyness like that (cuz he's basically mute, lol), and a few other things.
but yeah, im still picking around on thoughts for now.
anyays, here's the first two strips. thyre roughly sketched because im not looking for consistency. sometimes i'll do really awesome stuff, sometimes they'll be sketchy like this. that way, if people sign up, they sign up to have fun and to not be pressured to do something fun.
1. Some time in February would be perfect, perhaps some time after the first or second weekend?
2. Flint? Or maybe Mia's djinni?
3. They look good. If someone beats him up again, perhaps it could be because he spoke? But yeah, comedy and fun before perfection, or else it will cease to be fun.
Took me a minute to figure out it was in 4-Koma format, the arrows and numbers at the top had me thinking that was the panel order for some reason. For shame, Dora, there are better ways to abuse your children that don't leave bruises.
To Sala:
1. alrighty. i'll look at my calendar and choose a launch date most likely towards the second week of february
2. That's what im thinking too... maybe Flint, but mia's djinni would share an appreciation for it. this way, Flint would paint with grounded up rocks, sands, and pigmants like various culturs to recreate a watercolour-like painting. Mia and her djinni can read it, but no one takes them seriously, and isaac is mute, so he cant tell anyone what the paintings mean anyways. could turn out pretty cute.
3. id laugh if he accidently makes a sound in a tense moment and, spooked, oe of the other character turns around so fast, they slam Isaac in the face and knock a tooth out. thatd teach him not to squeek, lol XD
To Atrius:
lol, and yeah, following the cover page will be a page that explains how to reads that will cover a few styles that people can submit. there will be an arrow at the top indicating whether to read left to right or the reverse, and numbers inside the squares would indicate box order if using boxes, while nubers outside, or sitting on the line, indicate what strip to read if there is more than one strip on a page, and whatnot. that way, when a comic is posted, the arrow at the top tells you how to read, and teh signature at the bottom tells you what artist did what comic.
It's been a while, so I thought I'd add to this. I've gotten faster at drawing, though I can't draw in the same style used in Golden Sun (it just doesn't work for me), and even faster at colouring. Attatched is a little thing that took me like... half an hour I guess. Including the stopping to type with my buddies time.
Okay. Now to post up the opinion I had in the cbox.
(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/062/4/7/mars_djinn_charm_by_mizu_dragon-d3ato1y.png) We shall use this as an outline.
So, in my opinion, the eyes should be bigger, and take up close to half the vertical height of the head. ; And the eyes should probably? be lowered.... Not sure, though, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of yellow for the chin part of the head? (Me thinks?) Also, I doubt the nose pokes out that much? Hmm... (Hopefully my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.)
Uuuuuu~! That's a really nice reference pic, better than going from memory lol~ I'll have to use that next time. The colouring is on purpose, it's due to the lighting and such, but I'll deFfinately keep all of that in mind - especially the eyes, looking at that I shrunk those things to like... a third of their size, yikes... lol thanks~!
:heart:
