Very cool.

Amazing.

omg

I feel like I should be sacrificing an animal or something for your sake, but the best I can feesibly offer is a humble "thank you very much".

On that note: thank you very much.

Neat style. I'm a fan.

Lilac is correct... "the last four" sounds dramatic and tragic, though I can't help but feel that it's fitting for art of this magnitude.

Awesome stuff.

(I apologize if this is in the wrong place; I figured this was kinda' "the creative forum". If there is a more appropriate location for it, please let me know.)

Life and Death and the Girl with the Scarf

Rainy night gave way to moist morning, overpowered by the sun's sympathy for humanity, though the benevolent celestial body couldn't do much for the cold. A green-skinned man with vines for hair and azure sunglasses wandered out of an alley and in to the street, just in time to meet the last lingering light leaking lazily from a lamp-post, one which would soon bid the world good morning by submitting to an honorable extinguishment. Water dripped from his leafy hands and hair, his white shirt and black tie thoroughly saturated, thin lips epitomizing frownless features, and a look of finality hanging on the peculiar creature's face, though it wasn't quite a smile. He had found her.

The girl had been running. Machine-gun breaths seemed to get tangled about her tongue and lips as they frantically made their way in and out of her, blue eyes like narrow columns of light beaming beneath wet strands of hair colored like wrought-iron. Her whole body pulsated rhythmically, frosty clouds accumulating and dissipating in front of her in the morning air. Her red and white-striped scarf appeared to be floating; a perpetual icy breeze was trying to steal it from her, but one of her cold hands only pulled it closer, while the other gripped a very silver knife, the quivering blade held low, but in the green man's direction nonetheless.

He raised a verdant hand, which in turn raised a pistol.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, seeming genuine. "It is your time."

The girl made no particularly drastic motion, though subtle glances were sent sprawling across the horizon and everywhere else, looking for something, anything. Her eyes widened gently and settled on a crack in the sidewalk. With a fluid grace that she had not expected of herself, she reached down and plucked a soft scarlet flower that had bravely been growing amongst the concrete, memories of the morning rain sent in all directions as she hastily pulled the viridian stem to her. This gave the thieving wind the opportunity to relieve her of her helpless scarf, and neither of them watched as it was carried away.

The green man lowered his eyebrows as the girl held her shivering blade to the flower's stem, right below the petals. Her breaths became longer, her gaze never leaving his.

"I'll do it," she growled, drawing the knife nearer to the innocent blossom, threatening to drag the edge across its long emerald neck.

For at least a moment, the world stood still. The green man gently lowered his leafy hand, taking with it the argent armament, and there were another few seconds of hesitation before the girl took a deep, sharp breath and then dashed off down the alley. She was already just a shadow in the his mind.

"I suppose... it wasn't time just yet."

That's extremely cool, thank you very much.

EXACTLY the type of stuff I wish I could do.

Still in awe of pirate girl, and Vine came out awesome.

That's all for this week, unfortunately. I kinda' wanna' invest in a scanner, but I don't think I'm good enough yet. Maybe in time.

One last question before I disappear for seven days: since I can't edit the thread, would it be worth it to make a new thread for each update? Would that only cause clutter?

Thank you very much.

Incredible.

An update? Where?!

Crimson Jimson

CJ: at first, I liked it. Then I woke up the next morning and decided I didn't like it at all. I waited a few days, saw it, and liked it again.

HG: Trying to draw robot hair is a good way to kill a drawing.

Anyway, I hope you like 'em. Looks like Wednesday is Get Stuff Done Day, so expect more next time around.

Thank you very much.

Side note: I can't seem to edit my original post. Anyone know why?

Unfortunately, I lack a scanner, so I've gotta' scan these the next time I'm at school, which is Monday.

Hopefully, they'll all be finished by then.

Thanks again!

Alright, the list is full for now. I'll get to work soon, and thanks for the interest!

The way to get better at drawing is to practice, and this I must do. However, since I seem to be thoroughly incapable of drawing my own characters, I would like to test my abilities (or lack thereof) on creations that are not of my design.

There is a catch, however: your character will be a robot.

Yeah, since the only things I'm even halfway good at portraying are tremendous metal beings, this is sort of a cop-out; if I was REALLY in a mood to get better, I'd try drawing the sorts of things I have trouble with, i. e. people. However, I'm feeling kinda' creative and I don't like the fact that my robots all tend to look similar anyway, so hopefully this will at least be a step in the right direction.

(Also, your drawings won't look completely terrible this way, as opposed to if I were drawing them normally.)

Here is something recent. I've been thinking about WW2 alot, I guess. This could definitely stand some improvement.

I can only take a few... let's say five, because I've got a full-time job and go to school full-time et cetera, like a lot of the people here.

Slot one automatically goes to Crimson Jimson, though. He's awesome. (I'll probably do Quake and LadyJudgment as well eventually, due to the fact that they were kind enough to draw something for me.)

The queue:

1. Crimson_Jimson
2. HexGirl (if she wants one)
3. Scarf_Girl
4. Southstar
5. Ze_BAS

Thank you very much.

If there were an award for "Awesomest Gnome", the guy in that picture would totally win.

Your stuff is unique and awesome.

Keep up the good work et cetera.

I love this drawing so much.

And this is what turned up.

Whoa. That is a superawesome effect.

Beautiful.

I know it's been mentioned before, but that phoenix-ie dealie is awesome looking.

Thank you very much!

Sent. (Forgot to mention, sorry: he's level twenty-eight and on Pinnacle.)

For the record, my goal is eventually to become a comic book artist, or at least something along those lines. Unfortunately, I'm severely lacking in the talent department, but stuff like yours is inspiration, seriously.

Your style in particular really emulates what I wanna' do. Er, rather, the type of stuff I wanna' do will really emulate your style (not intentionally, I swear!).

Please, keep it up, though I know you don't need words of motivation from me.

Awesome.

The anime-type stuff looks pretty natural, and the 3D renderings flow beautifully.

Unfortunately, he doesn't fit qualification #2 too well, but I think he's got the other categories covered pretty good. His name is Life and Death.

Close-up.
Dramatic!

Thank you very much for the consideration.

Either way, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations.

If 45 is still available, I'll take it!

I wish I had a brighter picture, but this will do for now.

This is something you haven't done in a while?

You should do it more often; that drawing rocks.
