Leon's Den, Yes, I can draw some crap too. Come in. Options

[leongon]

I'm sketching this DK Worgen for a guildie, is in progress tho.




(Alexx is winning for my gray cat's name so far)

Yay for page 7! Wow, I have been spamming drawings lately.

[leongon]

Lineart done! The big sword got a bit trembled xD Now is only coloring left.




I did a video, and that helped me to realize how slow am I, the lines took me 1 hour u_u

That's amazing! I love the line-art, it's very crisp/clean.

Brilliant job - as per usual.

[leongon]

This drawing, posted by stages and with videos, could serve as a "guide" or something for others, however, I'm not experienced enough to tell for sure if how I do this is the correct or the best way. (I almost never use guides myself, I love to learn on my own)

Volume and shading step.

P.S: Since Holder asked about line/curve helpers I realized that Paint tool SAI has a stabilizer, making extremely simple do draw perfect lines if you use it about 15, no matter how shitty your real lines are, however, using it doesn't really make me feel happy at all... Indeed, it feels like shit drawing that easy. I decided to use it at a maximum of 3 for this wolfie, and I really don't want to use it above that. Ging drawing was made in Photoshop though, so I'm happy Holder thought I used some help (My Photoshop CS1 doesn't has stabilizer as far as I know).

[leongon]

And last stage: Coloring, lighting and final fixes. This piece is the one I have put the most effort til now, was a nice test of how much I have improved so far... And I'm happy with the result.



And the vid if someone is interested in taking this as a guide.

Leongon is happy tonight.

[X-M-O]

Wow, very nicely done. =]

Getting better all the time!

[leongon]

Hope someday I can start making clean lines, better shapes and improved shading.

It feels really good.


And thanks X-M-O always supporting the artists around here.

[X-M-O]

Yes! Support is a must! =D
You guys work hard on that artwork, and you deserve the encouragement and support that you need in order to continue to get better and also for inspiration, etc.

(I also really want to see more great artwork, so it is partially selfish - but 95% about you guys, lol.) =D

[leongon]

(Work in progress, I want to add lot of detail to the final version)

Always cloudy, two moons, 50/50 earth/water surface and a high variety of live beings. Is Datura, homeworld of dragon's race in Lelianthea's Heart.


I just needed to take it out of my mind. My first scenery painting attempt n_n

[X-M-O]

Oh very nice! I want to live there!

Any snowy/rocky mountains? =D

[leongon]

I don't know if I'll draw more sceneries after this one, to try snowy rocky things xD

[X-M-O]

I'll be here if you ever make it! =D

Are you planning on making a painted version of Lelianthea? O.O

[leongon]

Between stomach complications I advanced the landscape a bit more today.



I don't like my created plants... I need to work on them.


@X-M-O: I'll add Lelie here showing Phil her world, in the end

[X-M-O]

Yay! ^^

Oh my GOD! D=
That is one of the most beautiful trees I've seen in a long time! O_O
Simply brilliant!

[leongon]

I can't agree with you, but thanks. I really don't like how it ended.

I don't feel comfortable painting at all, is almost frustrating for me... I have seen landscapes from some artists in FA, and they are so amazing.

[X-M-O]

What's not to like about it? D=
It really is amazing. ^^

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself - you are better than you think you are!

The bottom right side of the drawing where you have done the tree base and the little grass area has an almost "fairy tale feel" It is beautiful.

[leongon]

Thanks both of you for your comments, that really cheers up.


Is almost done, I just need to add some more plants, some details here and there, and finally Philip and Lelianthea. Maybe tomorrow.


I still can't like it xD. Compared to some landscapes I see in FA, mine really sucks.

[myperson54]

Looks beautiful, keep up the good work! My computer died, so I won't be able to do much for my games, and I just got a new PS3, so RRR has been pretty low on my priority list. Awesome stuff, though!

[leongon]

Haha, RIP. That reminds me that I should make a backup of my stuff.

Enjoy your PS, but don't leave RRR :3
