[Artist Challenge] - Blackdove's pictures

As Swissy suggested, I think making our own threads is the most clear way. So, in this thread I ought to post 50 pictures during November....

I was lately drawing outfits for one of my character. She's supposed to go to a masquarade, and what kind of outfit would she have if I wasn't limited by the game engine? These are sketches for that, and only one of them is actually part of the 50-picture spree, but I'll post them all here for show. All are rather smudgy and sketchy - no shadows/light or anything.

Costumes 1 & 2 (featuring #1 November picture)
Costumes 3 & 4
Costumes 5 & 6
Costume 7

Blackdove

Amazing amount of detail O_O;

Very nice Dove, keep 'em coming.

*thumbs up*

Two more for the costumes series:

November Picture #2: Cat Costume
November Picture #3: Witch Costume

Blackdove

Love the second one in particular

I really like your style and technique Blackdove.

Wish i could draw full bodies

Keep up the good work mate!

Great work BD.

Next patch of scans is up:

November Picture #4 - Evil Flora from Winx

I've drawn dozens winx pictures over the months, most are instantly used for coloring purposes . This one I drew more for myself. It is based on the picture below, with slight modifations to make her look more evil.

Winx is italian animated series, magical girl type. There is five high school girls who go to fairy girl and fight against evil witches and date cute 'specialist' guys who use lightsaber-like weapons as well as got all kinds of nifty tech-gadgets.
The original Winx picture


November Picture #5 - Random samurai-ish character
November Picture #6 - Sketch of Fuchsia
November Picture #7 - Sketch two of Fuchsia
November Picture #8 - Sketch of Winter Heart

And finally something I put under my comic title "Different Capes". I'm counting it as three pictures even if they are in one file now, as the pictures were drawn separately and have no conncetions to each others.

November Pictures #9,10&11 - Different Capes - I'm Timeless Like A Broken Watch

Blackdove

Very nice as always Blackdove, Don't ever get me Started on the Winx club

Catz

Nice, very nice!! I love the Sketch two of Fuchsia.
Lol and the capes one is great too!

Thanks for the comments everyone, gives me a little push to keep on drawing... I'm slacking behind again.

But, here's something I doodled in photoshop with wacom (wacom's great, I'd marry that thing if I could ^^ )

Nothing wrong with a transparent belly, could be quite useful:

Bob:"What did you have for dinner today Dave?"

*Dave looks down*

Dave:"Fish fingers"

Lol

Excellent work as always BD.

What with you and Swissy my "lack of talent" depression is hitting new depths

Only kidding. I'm looking for a graphics tablet as working with PS and a mouse is really starting to get to my wrist. What tablet would you recommend? I would preferably like something wireless with a good range so I can set it up as an easel - oh and hopefully I won't have to re-mortgage to buy one

Problem is, most decent graphics tablets (for decent read Wacom) are fairly expensive.

I've got an 8-yr old penpartner tablet, which does the job (barely), but I would love a new wide A4 tablet to match my monitor's ratio (16:10).

Aye, the Cintiq (hybrid tablet & monitor) is gorgeous.

If you look closely, the whole picture is 'transparent', only the white and black lines arent. It's just mostly visible on her belly.

I've got Wacom Intuos3, A5 size. I'm very pleased with the size, since it's small enough to be in my lap when drawing and doesn't feel too small with zoom. Expensive yes, but worth it. Like I said, I've been VERY happy with how it functions. I sometimes use mouse but for drawing, Intuos3 is just so superior it's laughable.

Blackdove

Blackdove, your stuff is amazing. Just keep those honeys coming ^^

I got a A5 graphire which I purchased eons ago.>> Desktop Piccu

One day I'll go for the cintiq. That baby is expensive and I'll probably have to sell my unborn kids to get it but I will hold it on my laps...

Or i'll just have to settle for a A4 one instead ;_;

As I have a gap of ideas around the 40's for my thread, I may add a GG picture, and I'm sure you can make an appearance in it. No dinosaurs though, my 40's were pre-Issue 6.
