Triple posting for an update...
All the comments for the last addition here got commented in the other thread :D

Anyways, i just made this on my little sketch pads

Shioji & 2'nd... Shioji's upper head is hidden, to save you too much of his perverted expression... (joking, it simply adds more creepiness to the scene)

---
I have a smaller version as well, it's lower Quality though (still use MS Paint to resize :?)

I think it's really cute. I'm not getting a creepy vibe from Shiouji in that pic at all. It's more of a fatherly sort of thing.

MincyMatsu

You've got a point there... I intentionally added shadows onder Shioji's eyes, to enhance teh creepiness factor... :o but appearantly it can be understood in more ways than just one...

I thought of making a bigger version of that sometimes later (on a piece of A4 paper)

lol! Seems I didn't pick up on the eye shading. ^_^;;

If the shading under his eyes were darker maybe it would've hit me differently because an ominous vibe would've been achieved.

MincyMatsu

That's noted for a possible future re-make...  :P

I'M Eh-chan!

Yeah, the eye shading should definitely be a bit darker.  Also, I bet if you showed just a tiny bit more of the upper part of his head (at least to the top of his glasses) and gave the glasses that reflective glare that you can't see his eyes through, that might help enhance the creepy-osity.

But great job on that one!

MincyMatsu

A glare in his glasses he'll get in a bigger re-make then...

I agree. A lot of the time that effect is used to convey something ominous about the intent of a certain character. If the character does wear glasses, the eyes are not seen for the reflective glare... Or sometimes only one eye can be seen.

If a character doesn't wear glasses, both a lot of their forehead and eye area is blackened.

And also with glasses, I think using a little of both would create that creepy-effect really well.

:shock: this is probably your best so far micki. fantastic stuff  :Ewink:

:Elconfus: err senior Excel that guy looks so creepy !!!

:Econfused: just back away slowly and don't make eye contact


MincyMatsu

It's really just a sketch :o on a tiny paper even
But thanks :)


I can't wait to make a bigger (and hopefully better) version soon...
I want to send it Carl, perhaps there's room for another fanart... or maybe it can come in the 17'th issue at least...

I'm sitting here, hoping for that...

lol! But it's so awesome! That's why we're helping to critique it where needed (and it's not needed much). ^_^

Your art is fantastic. It'd be nice to see something of yours featured in the Oubliette.

at least your not doing the opposite (sucking water through your eyes)

I was very bored today, so i used a few hours of my free time to draw a bigger remade version of the previous drawing...

I personally find it better... Except, that his glasses may be placed a tidbit too  far up
I added a glare to his glasses...
shadow under his eyes reduced a bit, but also made clearer

Shioji is Awesome, i think i should do more stuff with him...
