Kayden997 Artwork, Using different programs to produce art! Options

[X-M-O]

Looking great! Would recommend shading for your background stone pillar as well.

@Nanashi
Yeah, I just started.
When I got my tablet I also got the program for free. I didn't start using it until now.
It's pretty neat by my standards

@X-M-O
Right, right. I should of did that as well. My mistake = lazyness

I hope to do more pictures like this more often.
It's quite fun for me and it turns out awesome

[kayden997]

So, I produced another image in Painter Essentials 4.
I attempted to not use black outlining because the complex shading on the dragon.... ya...
Here it is
Refer to #2 in 2nd archive

I would appreciate feedback on this... I worked hard on this one.

Very interesting, there simple yet have a relaxing feel to them when I look at them. kinda reminds me of old dos games in a way. Would be nice to see these as cutscenes in a game

[X-M-O]

The dragon looks really good; I'm not sure how detailed you were going to go with it, but if you want to add veins to the wings, then it might look even more cool. Then again, I could be wrong, since it looks great as-is. =]

The lighting and the perspective look about right, too. So I've no complaints.

[kayden997]

I do like this style as well.
It takes a bit more time and detail but I think it's worth it.
Hopefully the dragon doesn't look too much of a mess.

I'll try to do more action scenes like these, maybe create my own.... Or not... I'm not really that great

Would be nice to see these as cutscenes in a game

Lol, it's funny because actually game play isn't like that. XD
I'm like an advert to Runescape, making it seem great when it's really not

That dragon looks amazing~ Everything in the image looks good, and I take it they are in a desert setting? Only thing I can say is detail in the wings is missing and the warrior might need some armour (only if you planned on it at some point, he's okay as is).

[kayden997]

I think I'll improve on the character, background, and dragon wings.

@Nanashi
It was a cave but I guess I'll have to make that more clear now do i

[Nanashi]

Oh, sorry, lol! If you add some stalactites and stalagmites it should be fine~

[kayden997]

Improved version!
Refer to #3 in 2nd archive

I darkened the ground, added some detail, and re-did the wall.
Also added some texture to the wings but not veins since it's a metal dragon

Okay... I haven't touched anything major lately so I just did some simple free drawing without reference...
Still gotta improve!

Refer to #4.3, #4.6, and #4.9 in 2nd archive

Ugg... Gotta improve my lighting, shading, and drawing hands >.<

[Homunculus]

I absolutely LOVE #3 in the gimp archive. The angle/perspective is pulled off gorgeously, you achieved a very professional looking cell shaded look thar just sayin'

[kayden997]

@Alexandre8100
Thanks! Appreciate it

@Homunculus
Yeah, and that was my first attempt at it.
It took about 3 days (not fully) but in the end looks amazing.
I simply love cell-shade art

[kayden997]

Alright, I did some more free drawing because I need to improve on it... A LOT!
First one I was just practising some head and hand drawing.
Second one I was doing some all around drawing; from stick man to shading.


Refer to #5 and #5.5 in 2nd archive

I haven't really tackled anything big lately, partly because I'm waiting 'till I get ideas, hopefully, for the art competition

Take a gander if you would

[X-M-O]

Looking good, though I would say that you've got the wrong hand on that first image's head.
If I were to put my left hand on the right side of my head, I could get my thumb to face that direction. =]

I love the sword! And your guy is almost making a troll face there. =D

[kayden997]

I knew it!
It just didn't look right to me for some reason so I flipped it!
Nooo!

[kayden997]

Ahh. These are more for inside jokes but I'll post them for shits and giggles.
Oh... All done in GIMP with a mouse! I'm good with stick people!

[kayden997]

Gah, must get better at free draw!
So I took the liberty to take up a guide on basic anatomy.
This one was my first, little undo-s, attempt.
... I'm still practising more or less

Refer to #8 in 1st archive

[X-M-O]

Looking good, now you just need to do it another 5,000,000,000 times and you'll be an expert.
(Level up your drawing skill, lol.)

[Magical_RuNE_Kni...]

Hehe, your pictures are very cute to look at (^^) '^'

i dunno, i always find simple drawings quite cute... lol.."

The #3 gimp picture is incredible btw! i thought it was 3-D..
