This is an Xmas gift to my grandpa, who served in Vietnam.

YAAAAY!!! 5000 views on this thread! Thank you!!

I can't tell you how many times I've put up a big update and haven't had one comment.

Keep going.

Yay! Big update day!
My DA gallery will eventually update itself, but included in this update are these gems:

Over the Clouds

Scorching Torch

Lupin Getaway

And my new favorite pic...
Angel

Also, woohoo! 500 pageviews! Now to get to 1000!

6 months ago; May.

Update:
Back. IL was fun. Got to play a Gibson Epiphone, which sounded *really* nice. I think I might pick one of those up for my birthday.
Okay...4 drawings, 2 practice drawings and a couple of pictures over the sky from the plane to upload. I'll get those up tomorrow.
On another note, I'm gonna go on a DeviantArt comment crusade. The number of pageviews I'm getting is pitiful. >_<

Derek, your pic will be colored next. I'm thinking of trying some lightning effects.

What do you mean by greyed out?

Edit: Oh, okay. If it's greyed out, then make sure that the path you want is active (meaning, go into the paths window and click on the path again). You'll know it's active when it's highlighted after you click it. Then, take any tool under the Pen Tool pulldown menu (any will work), right click, and hit Fill Path.

Okay, the pen tool is misleading, as it doesn't ACTUALLY work like a pen tool in real life. The pen tool is basically to make perfect curves and paths that you couldn't normally do by a tablet.

Basically, take the pen tool, click a bunch of points, then find the Convert Point tool (on mine, it's under the same pulldown menu as the Pen Tool). Using that, hover over a point and drag. That will make a curve. You can adjust the curve by dragging the dot things that come out of the point. Do this with every pen point as you see fit.

Once you get the curved path you want, right click and use Make Selection, Fill Path, or Stroke Path (depending on what you want). Stroke will go over the path with whatever settings you have on your brush at the moment, so make sure you have the Brush Tool you want set up (including color) before right clicking and hitting Stroke Path. You can also use tools other than Paintbrush to stroke (at least on mine you can) in a pulldown menu that pops up.

Last thing: after you make the stroke, it probably won't be readily visible, since the path is still overlaying it. Find your Paths window (same window as Layers and Channels), then hit new path. Since this new path has nothing on it, the old path won't show and the stroke should be visible. If you wan't to work with the old path for whatever reason, just click on it in the Paths window.

Hope that helps.

Update:
Leaving for IL on Wednesday. Get back on Monday. Have one pencil done, and need to scan it some time before I leave.

Also, buy the Wii. It's awesome.

Whoa. That's a nice style you got going there, Jugg.

Hey, did you ink with that process I told?

Okay, EBgames had those games I preordered early. They only hold them for 48 hours so I picked them up yesterday. As for Saturday, they're having a midnight launch, technically Saturday night at 12 (or 11:59, whatever).

So, I've got Red Steel and Super Monkey Ball, both of which I can't play until Saturday night....

RARRGHH!

Made this during web design class today.

I'm already taken. In 5 days, anyway.

It's like waiting for Christmas...times 1000...

Thanks!

Hello, fellow sentai fan *points to sig*.

A bit less muscle tone would probably help. It's awesome that you have the muscles down (I don't), but sometimes less is more.

Also, unless your character is a kid or in his teens, you may want to try making the chest a little larger.

BAS' pic is DONE! Woo!
BAS Final

I somewhat agree with Darkjedi, it's just mind-numbing how long digital inking takes. Unless you *really really* want to get those perfect perfect lines, I'd work with traditional inking. Much more fun and easy.

What I do is I take the pencil scan, go into Adjust-->Levels in Photoshop, and lighten the whole thing, then print it, and ink it, and scan it. Easy.

Me.

[steventyler]I'M BACK!!! I'M BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAAAIN!!![/steventyler]

Ten, count 'em, TEN new pics up in the gallery.
You can check 'em out here.

My personal favorite is the Link Comic, while the Superman fight and Shogun get 2nd and 3rd.

Happy B-day.

Just an FYI, those avatars are featured on gaiaonline.com, the cesspool of the internet.

I'm ANGRY that you didn't spell salaree correctly!

ARRGGGHH!!

I'm feeling very under the weather, and I have 9 pencils to scan, but in the meantime, enjoy this Flash animation I made awhile back.

View it here.

This is the best I got, but I haven't been able to replicate it too well. You may also want to experiment with the Sumi-e filter.
