And an update... The person who's pic I've been working on picked a pose and I'm getting things hammered down to a more finalized sketch >.> I may yet redraw it again... and maybe a time after that too... I'm not quite happy he looks so stiff <;.;>

Comments are appreciated as always <,<

Akotha Prelim Sketch

Oh - and no he's not naked >.> The clothes are going to be added last-stage; so he's just got boots and armor bits right now... there'll be more I promise lol <X.x> Just wanted to mention that.

Anyways >.> Impressions? Thoughts? Ideas? Hatemail?

Batman + Nick Fury.

Bruce Wayne, Agent of Shield was awesome >.>

That does explain the colorful pastel outfits...

Hehe, I've felt the same way at times _BAS_; but as CJ says... people on here only have so much time alot of the time.

What's odd - is that its mostly the art boards where people have alot of RL stuff going on - alot of us only play the game on and off; and so needless to say... our time is limited.

I should say most people's my own time is relatlively free - no major responsibilities.

But myself I'm dealing with lots of RL issues of 'other' varieties and so I only comment when I feel I can make a funny or otherwise be lighthearted, I don't want my overwhelming blahs to ruin anyone's artistic high - it wouldn't be right of me.

The thing is - even some really good work gets totally ignored at times; the art forums are tiny compared to the boards as a whole; limited number of people + limited amount of time = limited response, if any.

Aaron and I both don't get much attention either - and I'm sure there are others that even I'm forgetting... its not that people dislike you or anything. Its just that it takes time to get A) ingratiated to the community, and B) good enough that people will take the time to say anything.

You're not bad - and you'll get better. I think you've got an eye for art, but its a long road. I've been doing this very seriously for over 6 years now; and I'm still not that good, I keep at it, and I try to keep the blahs at bay... just keep at it. Draw, draw, draw draw never ever ever ever stop.

If you feel you need responses desperately, I'm sure there are some youth art boards around, I'm not sure where mind you, but I'm sure they're out there, probably organized by people specifically to help younger artists. Note: I'm not putting empahasis on your age in a negative way; but there's a different kind of attention I think you need from what you may get here as most of us are significantly older. Its literally the old 'age gap' problem - the lives we lead every day are significantly different and that causes some difficulty because you think "No one is responding, I must suck and they hate me" everyone else looks and thinks "he's getting better" <clicks on> without responding. That doesn't mean they don't like it; it just means it still needs practice before people are going to take time to respond.

Anyways - keep at it; oh - and a huge thing - look at your Views as opposed to Replies.

Yes - replies are nice; lovely lovely things... but your Views tells you how many people bothered to look in the first place. That should tell you that while they may not say it yet - people are watching.

Hmm... >.> Okies... if you insist! <X_X>

Yumii

That's probably my personal best thus far. I did so much with it that I was proud of. Its what forced me back into figure drawing; because while I *LOVE* working with the upper body, being restricted to *just* the upper body is extremely limiting <;.;>

Ayanei vs Duros
Its ancient... but I still love this one. Its probably my best action shot ever... I've considered cleaning it up for color more than a few times. I'm just very happy with it in general; feels like I could almost find it in a manga, which was the goal at the time >.<

<;.;> Feel better! *huggles - avoiding da back >.>* <-- being small and rodentlike can hug small locations without worry! <@.@>m Its great bein a squirrel sometimes.

One word...

Facebite.

>.> Needless to say <,< I like it!

Excellent <,<

And Amalgam rocked >.> we should attempt more of this <'x'> mwahahahaa

I meant WhitePeregrine LJ <^,~>

Admit it... you've been spying on them. Just to capture pics on your cellphone camera in case they ever DID merge. <-.+> I gots my eye on you.

Ooo... that could be neat <,<

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha <,< that's great!

TA's never struck me as the sort of 'sneaky' assassin. More of the anime character type "Yeah, they call me an assassin. So I shoot giant globs of energy that destroy city blocks!"

So it works essentially like... TA hits Build Up and Aim, TA uses Ball Lightning.

Target Sees - ASSASSIN STRIKE!

<section of town explodes as does target>

<,< BOOM

Thanks >,< Must keep practicing >.> Goal is to get figure drawing back under my belt. I used to be 'OK' at it... but I let it go for over a year without touching it. I've also almost never drawn males before >.>; so... yeah...

I'll give the jaw thing a try >.>

Well folks, here it is September third and I missed the whole event. Thank you, Ernesto.

Let me tell you. Being without power for three days? NOT FUN. Spoiled milk is teh nasty. Sketching and reading by candelight is only novel for a few hours. No, really.

I got this done shortly before my power went out early Friday afternoon. I thought "Oh thank goodness I finished in time.. I'll probably be powerless for a few hours, tops." ........ Three days later and hopefully CuppaJo will see this.. sometime. :/

/Cheer! Thats a nice one! <^,^>

... LOL >< the pun + the pic... perfect >_<

Oh I wasn't upset with you at all >.>; I was trying to explain why some people might come off a tad harsh though. Its been a very recent situation; and for at least 2 days we had the boards full of "DRAW ME" <x.x>;

I won't go into the long of it >.> it was just me attempting to splain hehe <T_T>; Its just a rough spot is all.

... Ok, someone... and I doubt its an actual art forum regular... but *someone* has been going around here and on the main forums "one starring" threads... its getting ridiculous.

There is *nothing* in this thread warranting of a one-star; just as many of the threads in General are not warranting of one-star. Do you want to get stars removed completely? Making our threads completely starless? Hmm? DO YOU? Because it could happen. <-.-> It WILL happen.

I can hardly see your drawing, so, that means, even if there was someone out there who wanted their character done by you they wouldn't know it. Try rescanning or inking then scanning your piece. Maybe you'll get a bite.

[/ QUOTE ]

Inking is an excellent idea; another thing that I do personally is...

When you scan it in, your scanner might have options to Darken the picture - I highly recommend doing so >.< it'll darken everything - but at least the lines will show up!

Good luck! I'd be up to try, except I'm doing work kinda 'on my own' right now. Think of it as standing under a waterfall... made of pencils >.>

MORE SKETCHIES! >.>

Akotha - 1

Akotha - 2

Akotha - 3

Akotha - 4

These are all of the same ranger as the previous elf sketch >.> I'm trying to get him down right and in a more 'realistic' manner.

I'm liking my figure drawings more... though they're still hardly perfect - I'm not so happy with the face though. He either looks too female, or just not realistic at all <x.x> or sometimes both!

Anyways, lemee know what you think >< Its still very very very sketchy because I'm just practicing basics!

Cool SG approval, let me know if they like this one...

I may play with the eyes some more, but first I have to make dinner... cheers!

[/ QUOTE ]

Bah I don't care if they like it lol I think its gorgeous. It looks even better coloured.

[/ QUOTE ]

*nod nod* looks good.

I think one thing that people need to remember here - while this request is fine (its just one single post requesting) - we have had issues with *other* people spamming the forums pretty much demanding free art.

That's been solved - but I'm sure alot of people are sensative right now.

But no, this isn't a problem. If I weren't working doing alot of work in private right now, I'd give it a whirl myself even.

But I wanted to mention that because I don't want anyone thinking that people are just "comming down on" Emma - there's a reason for it even if this request isn't so much.
