Title: Drawing
Post by: Poey on March 31, 2008, 10:08:59 PM
It seemed like everyone was just creating new threads for their drawings, and I couldn't find a general "post your shit" thread after about 4 seconds of searching, so.... whatever, here ya go. This took me a couple hours or so.

Lain... based on some picture I found on the internet


EDIT: Oh yeah, feel free to post your random pictures here if it's not enough to create a thread for... such as this one.

I think we all just decided to have our own threads, heh.

Nice! Do you not have a scanner or is it really big?

I have a scanner, but.... it... uh.... err... I ... am lazy.

Also, I was taking some other pictures for other purposes and figured I might as well do that one as well.

But mostly the lazy thing.

It's nice  :il_hahaha:

I'd have prefered a scan too though, then it looks much more clear-ish...

Somebody give this guy a can o' Red Bull to get the 'lazy' out of him. :il_hahaha:


Not bad, but......

..... Scan. Now. :e_wink:

My shotty little scanner is in a box in the next room.


You underestimate the power of laziness.

I drew another one, so I while I was scanning it I threw in Lain as well. I dislike my scanner, but luckily some quick contrast adjustments made it look more like a drawing than a scribbly extreme solid black/white piece of crap.

Just to put credit where credit is due, this Lain drawing is based off some random picture I found on internet.

And the lovely Al, based on .. yeah... that one sketch of him that looks almost exactly like this if I did my job.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/Poeyseidon/Photos/FMADrawing.jpg)

I did some minor adjustments to Al right after I scanned it, and I tried to re-scan it but it stopped working... so that's that.

Scans look much better than photos  :ehail:
I like the drawing of Al...

Very nice!

Ensure that your scanner doesn't make it back into the other room. Contact cement might help. :e_tongue:
Good to have it handy though for future scans.  :e_wink:

Not very happy with this one... it needs to be in color, it doesn't make a good black and white photo. Damn red hair.

By the way, the Elfen Lied image was edited slightly so I edited the post to show the updated photo.

We're whalers on the moon... we carry our harpoons... but there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales and sing this whaling tune. :ehail:

I agree, now there's no hard outlines around the eyes anymore, the first was like hollow and colored inside, this is one plain color though...

So it's better yeah, good job mister  :D

You should try and make some original art though, you'll probably enjoy that much more  :il_hahaha:

I suck serious ballzack unless I have a solid reference. I'm just a poser.
Title: Re: Drawing
Post by: MincyMatsu on April 29, 2008, 03:19:34 AM
But that's exactly why you should try it...
Maybe, if you just made slight changes from the originals, or lok at several references and see if you can mix a bit of both into one... I mean, it's a start :D

Dude, art is all about copying.  Whether you copy directly by blatantly tracing, or just look at a thing for a while.

Don't think that any of the great artists of the past, or our time, were ever completely, and wholly original.

If it makes for a better composition, do it.

I still contend these drawings work better left unscanned. When you scan them they become fan drawings. When you take pictures of them they have the potential to become art.

And yes Poey, you remind me of ghey sometimes. Good stuff though. :e_wink:

 An attempt at a three panel gag strip for an upcoming multi-manga character doujinshi. Artist asked for work to be placed here for comments on art and style. We are working on the punchlines (^_^)

Excel as a catgirl for Halloween, eh? It works.

Good proportions, good facial expressions, and the all-important oblique tooth is there (she just wouldn't be Excel without it).
Too frickin cute!!! *looks for a suitable smiley to use here...* Ah, THIS one ---> :e_love: :e_love: :e_love:

What's she wearing below? That's surely not regulation ACROSS attire. O.o


If possible, I hope you can show us more of this project when done. A multi-manga work sounds very interesting!

You should concider adding 'Starwberry Star' at the end, just for some extra flavor of typical manga series names :D
