Really? I can't tell because I can see it. Darn Pixiv. Let me try from DA...

My computers an Intel Celeron, so its probably running on it at the lowest possibility as some things freeze up now and then.

There it is! =D

The new upload worked, and it looks awesome! Chibi-fied and everything.
Love the red eyes. =D

[Nanashi]

Okay, great to hear~ Glad you like it

Pinky's character request of Randalf...

[X-M-O]

I like the hair! =D

The eyes look interesting, as I've not seen multi-coloured eyes drawn on a character in a while. The facial structure and upper body are just right. Excellent work! ^^

[Nanashi]

Thank you~ I didn't mean to make the eyes multi-coloured, but when I was messing with the saturation/contrast it just looked cool I was trying to create a eye glare I saw on a video on YouTube. I figured out a bit of it, but how to make it look transparent I'm still working on.

Ah, you're trying to go with the "bubble" effect. Bubbles are transparent, and almost invisible, but give off a slight reflection of colours (like a rainbow in a way). Is that what you're referring to?
It looks rather close to that, though it is a little too bold if that is the look you're going for. I'd just edit the coloured part to be slightly faded out.
Of course, without working on it in Photoshop, I can't guarantee that will look correct. ><

Yeah, I think that might be it! I messed up with the transparency early on. I'll have to find some more examples of it and keep practicing~ Thanks, that helps a bit when looking to refer to it

Here is a little doodle I did an hour ago for ALTER on CS5. My first digital art on it~


Castle on the Sea of Azure Roses


*UPDATED

Genin perched with quite a view around him~

*Not the real world. Genin is lost in his own mind throughout ALTER, traversing through each of his alters realms, even his own fabrication of the physical world he once knew. In this sketchy, Genin is in Nanashi's realm.

I like Nanashi's realm.

You've got a lot of petals floating around everywhere except in front of the castle, so it looks a little bit uneven. Otherwise, it's really a nice depiction of the inside of someone's mind. =D

[Nanashi]

So it would look better with more floating in front of it? I thought it would look cluttered. Okay, lets see what it will look like when updated~

Viktoria~Complete~

[X-M-O]

I love the coloured version! =D
The eyes and lips are beautiful! :3

[Nanashi]

Thanks! I'm still working on getting skin shading down, but the other two did come out good~ AND I figured out how to do the "bubble effect"!! XDDDDD

[Nanashi]

Not exactly Holiday art, but I didn't have time for such as I had to do "gift" art for others~ First, is a drawing I did for my GF for Christmas. She likes D'espairsRay, especially Karyu. I did a realistic drawing for him which I haven't done in years! Next was a drawing for a friend on DA, as her birthday was on Christmas Eve. It is a random piece, but interesting enough to suit her tastes, and she loved it~

[Show/Hide] D'espairsRay's Karyu

[Show/Hide] Those Who No Longer Know

[X-M-O]

Oh wow, these look amazing!

D'espairsRay's Karyu is very cool, and the shading is done quite well; though I'd have to say that the top of the neck seems a bit wider than it should be, but only just barely.

You've done an amazing job at designing the mask in the second image, and the second image looks fantastic otherwise; it seems you've gone from "lots of breast" to "not much breast at all" though, but perhaps this is a specific trait of this character.
Either way, very nice work done here. =D

[Nanashi]

His neck does kind of spread out a little bit, but like you said, only so much to not be anything. I thought it would turn out as utter $#%& when I started it because I dread making portraits, haha! I surprised myself a bit thought I could practice more with shading and contrasts.

The next drawing has a bit of a secret regarding the "lady" seated before the masked creature. I was kind of inspired by some artwork on DA when I did the designs for the wood and mask~ I really wanted to make more of a background for this but there just wasn't enough space to make anything effective enough to stand out, but Its nice all the same.

Thanks a lot for the comments, always wonderful to have!

[X-M-O]

You mean... it's a trap?! XD

Ah, that makes sense. ^^

Anyway, I do think that you're improving with each sketch, so do continue practising this style - it's brilliant. =D

[Nanashi]

Yep, sorry >_> Lol!

Yipee! Glad to know I'm making progress! Okay, have a finished one from Sons of Thunder that I put off for a while.

Whoa - huge image. ><

Anyway, looks amazing! I was wondering when you'd do another image for that particular type of art. =D
The colours are vibrant as well. ^^
