kinda inspired by krachus, one of my characters. ovo just entertaining myself, i guess.

Velocity @ Friday, February 3rd 2012, 8:20 PM

The style and general colors remind me of Okami, or that kind of style in general. Especially the way the red bleeds out. Such a nice effect along with the textures. :3

Adulted for a bit of blood-eye.

I'm not really great at Shi or Shi-pro...Chibi is useful to me though. Meh *Shrugs* heres a Lucy.

She's one of my fav anime characters of all. I hate how she still fights for that stupid Kouta (I really want to read the manga) poor Lucy. I'd be her friend and I'd want to be a Diclonius.

MedicinePancake @ Saturday, January 14th 2012, 9:17 PM

I really dig how you shade and color! And I love that anime.

Lia @ Sunday, January 15th 2012, 11:49 AM

Thank ya! I'm glad, 'cause I'm not to great with Shi xD

Yeah, Elfen Lied is one of my favs, it has so much value(s) most people misinturppret, it's a great anime.

Velocity @ Friday, February 3rd 2012, 8:18 PM

Liaaa~ You're improving! The only thing I'd mention is there are a few color bleeds here and there where different colors get into the others. x3 Other than that keep going! Keep it up and keep drawing!

This picture is where I will keep all my doodles since I have a lot of canvas space left and it won't do anyone any good if I just have one tiny picture on there. :|

Anyways I tried to experiment using different colors for shading to give it more depth since some people suggested I used different colors for skin, shading, and whatnot. I think I am getting better but any tips would be extremely helpful.
:D

Lia @ Saturday, January 14th 2012, 11:25 AM

I just gotta say, this looks extremely cool so far. The brush tecqnique (sp?) is really smooth and flows nicely~
I can't wait to see the finished peice :)

Velocity @ Friday, February 3rd 2012, 8:16 PM

This is looking lovely so far! Yes using a lot of different colors to give a piece depth is very, very good! Especially when it comes to similar colors. Basically it's all about color theory and all that. x3 Considering it's green, yup shades of yellow and shades of red or blue would bring out the creature a lot. Either way the textures on this are looking super so far!

Please excuse my horrible drawing skills..

Kiwi Fox @ Friday, January 13th 2012, 12:32 PM

If you know it's horrible then why bother posting it?

I think you should have spent time looking up a reference of a wolf's profile, and try to replicate it in this drawing.

Turkeymon @ Friday, January 13th 2012, 2:25 PM

More than anything, it's not necessarily because you have quote "horrible drawing skills", but because you spent barely any time on it.

The best drawings by anyone and everyone I've ever seen/met are ones that they spent hours, sometimes even days on. If you want to be good at drawing, you need to put the time and the effort into it. Otherwise? You'll just be another one of those people that quit early; that quit halfway through, and nothing you ever do will be to your satisfaction.

Also, I don't want to hear anymore of this "my skills are terrible", "I'll just sit over here in this corner" nonsense. DO NOT belittle yourself that way. :P It's a bad mindset and it won't help you. Think more optimistically ~

No, your skills aren't the best, but that's what practice and effort are for! <3 Many a great artist started exactly where you are now. ... I know people always SAY that, but it seems like few realize how truthful we're being when we say it.

Eevzy @ Monday, January 23rd 2012, 6:24 PM

Turkeymon is exactly right. There is a reason we have a minimum of 20 minutes for drawings here. It's so that the drawings end up beautiful and complete! You should try to take your time, zoom in on images, and make every little piece of an image a work of art within itself. Then when you zoom out, WOW, amazing piece! Try it! =D

Velocity @ Friday, February 3rd 2012, 8:15 PM

I agree with what Eevzy and Turkeymon! Come on, be more confident too! :3

Turkeymon @ Monday, January 9th 2012, 10:41 PM

You'd think that with all the planes I've seen, I'd have an easier time drawing them. XD But nope. ... Then again, I've never actually thought about how I'd draw 'em before. Where as, with clouds and that, I always stop to think what methods could/should be used to draw them.

Might come back to this later.

Amara @ Wednesday, January 11th 2012, 1:25 PM

This is hot.

Just like you.

Turkeymon @ Friday, January 13th 2012, 2:32 PM

Hahaha. Thanks. XD <3
