I've been looking through this place for a while and finally decided to make a thread about my own artwork.
Most of things I post here are mostly from my deviantart which is right here: http://howsplendid.deviantart.com/. The same would go for the descriptions I put for each drawing

I'll post this one for today ^^ One of my drawing I'm still most proud of.

Just an idea that randomly popped up when I was making my comic for my Art 2-D class. I thought about drawing my fox character in the miko clothing, since I realized how much she reminds me of Reimu. I loved how this came out. Gotta love those random ideas ^^

I know I'm not too good, but if you have any advice please post away! ^^

Wow. I really like your art. Its very fresh compared to most of the things I have seen here. And what a cute character! Now you should post more, and I will follow you on DeviantArt. (:

Thanks alot as well as the watch too, I'm glad you like it^^

Looks great! =D
One thing you may want to take into consideration on colouring with pencils, is to make all of the strokes in the same direction (it gives it a uniform appearance); digital colouring doesn't have the same "strokes" problem.

Despite that, as I mentioned, it looks great.

hmm i never thought of that way, thanks I'll be sure to try that ^^;

It's something you learn in an art class, though not all art classes would teach you that (just depends on the particulars of the professor, lol).

A sketch i was working a while back.

Decided to doodle one day and kept putting off submitting it. I'm thinking about trying to turn this into digial art, but still debating. :/

Buddy © me

If I decided to do so it'll be my first digital art... :/

I definitely think you should try your hand at digital art, even if you find it difficult at first. =]
I encouraged leongon to do so, and I have seen more and more amazing works from him ever since then (that isn't to take away from him being great at drawing non-digital art, but he made a heck of a lot more submissions in much less time due to not having to scan drawings).

Anyway, buddy looks absolutely adorable. =D
One thing I'd change, just because of the perspective and what, is his hand being in his pocket. Perhaps it is fine being in his pocket, but the pocket would actually be more to the side so that it doesn't look as if he's got his hands in a naughty spot. (Yes, it does look a little like that currently.)

He seems to be a little excited about his bone, so I'm thinking that his hand could do better outside of his pocket in order to give a better portrayal of his excitement (I'm thinking he's happy to have the bone and is showing it off, so he probably wouldn't have his other hand in his pocket at all; he looks a little too relaxed with it in his pocket whilst being excited about showing off his bone).

I hope that all makes sense, lol.
But yes, definitely a very cool sketch. =D
Keep up the good work! ^^

true not that you think about it...O.o gotta fix that lol Also I was going more for a relaxed look, so I'm glad that part was noticed ^^

Thanks I think i will try my hand at making this digital art.

I think it would look nice if he were hugging the bone, next to his cheek.
Not sure how to convey that in text, but anyway. XD

Yes, go digital! >:3

Here's another drawing. A character of mine that I've been putting off drawing for so long.

I finally drew and finished my drawing of my character Cindy. It kinda sucks that she remained as a sketch for so long, but not anymore. The background came out a little bit better than the last one.
The gun that Cindy is holding in her hand is a Red-9, which is her favorite handgun. I also decided to try wind effects for the first time, please let me know how I did!

Cindy the Eagle © me

Looks great! Nice design on the weapon and character. =D

The wind idea looks cool, and works. I'm sure you used an eraser and went over in swirls, which actually looks just fine. =]

The leaves portray the wind best, though you could simply put a small, thin line trailing behind them in swirly motions and it would accomplish the same thing.

Also, the grass is definitely going the right direction, in terms of strokes. The stone wall strokes look odd because you didn't colour them in individually (which you should do for stones, and give them their own "texture" strokes; because it currently looks like a single stone with lines drawn on top of it to make it look like a bunch of stones bricked atop each other).

Hope that helps; you've definitely got some skill going on here.

heh heh thanks a lot, also does you avi go through a picture change? its a new one every time i refresh the page O.o

We have some more furries coming around now~ They all look wonderful and the colouring is great! Are these recent artwork or are you building your collection of work up as you go along? Love the character and expression they have in their faces~ I'll be checking out your DA!

it's a mixture of both recent and older. Thanks a lot, I hope you enjoy my DA gallery! ^^

Apologize for the double post... -_-

might as well put up another drawing while I'm at it.

I've been wanting to make one since I first found out about these. Now I have: My first Paperchild. I love how this one came out and hope to make more in the future.

So dogs don't like to be pulled by the tail, huh? how about the ears? So fluffy. =w=

Buddy © me.

decided to attach the file this time too....might be the last time i do that lol

Lol! That's a cute paper child and I like his panicked look! He's well done, too!

Hope theirs a paper puppy family soon XD

thank you, i have a couple more i plan to submit soon ^^

Yes, it changes randomly from a selection of about 65 images (I add more occasionally, but it is extremely rare to find that someone has seen them all). =]




A double-post (with a submission or update to a submission) is permissible in this area.
Just don't bump your topic without adding a submission or update to a submission.


It's amazing! I find the idea to be brilliant, and the art to be just as well. =D


(Also, attaching files hopefully works fine for you, please let me know otherwise, and we'll try to get it working better for you.)

Guess I'll put up something new
This is my second paperchild, funny enough this picture was taken back when I had my old com. good times =w=


I made my second paperchild. I love how this one came out. It's been awhile since I last put up anything on my fox character Kate Walker. As you can see she's just relaxing, listening to some tunes being petted >w<


Kate Walker © me

Very nice work there. =D

Yeah, she definitely looks like she's enjoying musics of some sort.
(The tongue is awesome, lol.)

Thanks a lot ^^.

anyways here's my most recent paperchild.

It's been awhile since my last paperchild, so I decided it was time to make another one. This time I decided to use my raccoon character Ollie. He's just sitting there minding his own business....on my com, until someone begins to tug his tail. lol I don't think anyone would want to mess with an annoyed raccoon!

You can probably see that there is a bubble above his head, which didn't get in the camera. He says "Seriously... Stop pulling on my tail."

Ollie the Raccoon © me

heh heh this pic was taken the 2 weeks ago when i got my new com. I love it so much ^^

That's pretty clever. =D
Never thought about adding bubbles with text in them for paperchildren. Nice work. ^^

OMG...those little paper-child are cute I want one lol
Such an original idea using bubble's with text in it
I look forward to seeing more

Thanks a lot I'm planning on making another one very soon ^^ Here's another drawing. This one is currently being used as my ID for deviantart.



This is the type of face I have when I'm on google and randomly find a picture that was definitely not part of the search I was looking for... The internet can be a dangerous place...O-o It sucks even more when you have someone like Buddy asking what you were looking and having no words to explain it.... Well that's the Internet for ya.

Ollie the Raccoon © me
Buddy the Dog © me

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has encountered such things o.o

That's totally awesome. XD
Have you considered creating a comic, by any chance?

Yeah I've wanted to make a comic, but I wanted to hold off on that until I got better.

Anyways here's something for Halloween

Decided to draw something for halloween, so I thought why not draw Felicia from DarkStalkers? This one came out pretty well, I'm glad the background came out a little better, too ^^;
heh heh random emot.

Well, Happy Halloween Everyone!

Felicia © Capcom

ok here's another drawing from a while back

Another one of my characters that's been around with me for a couple years. This is Lyra my second raccoon character. I haven't given her a personally yet, though I will update eventually when I do. The background, I know is lazy; I still need to practice on that... -_- However, I'm glad to have finally put Lyra on here and glad on how she came out. ^^

Lyra the Raccoon © me

yeah I know the background was complete crap ^^;

She seems to have no curves, but maybe that is the fault of the coat she is wearing. D=
From only glancing at the thumbnail image, she has the figure of a man. Once I opened the image, I could see that she was female. (Yes, I have learned to ignore guessing the sex of a character based on their name, so this is why Lyra didn't convince me of it until I opened the image, lol.)

Anyway, don't be ashamed about your background; I'd recommend focussing on one aspect of art at a time, and then blending them all together once you've "perfected" them individually. =]

Very nicely done, by the way. ^^

ouch lol anyways here's something new, but old in a sense ^^;


Something I forgot to post. This is my first use of digital media that i made in my Art 2-D class last year. Our assignment was to make a product of our own. Mine being Raccoon Root beer.

This was actually done on Photoshop, even thought it shows Gimp

Warning side effects may include itching, loss vision, social life and many other things

Ollie the Raccoon, Raccoon Root bear © me

That's hilarious. Raccoon Root Beer is like Skooma?!

Nice concept. =D

ok, so I finally have something new to post! ^^

A new character I finally decided to add to my gallery. I've had her as my character for a couple years, but I finally decided to draw her.^^; She one of those characters you never want to mess with no matter what they may seem like. Her whip is her main weapon with a blade attached, her gun is mostly the secondary. Yeah she ain't messing around .

Rain the lion © me

Looking good, the colours are chosen well, and I love the black fence! For using crayons, the fence has better details than I would have expected. ^^
Nice whip, and her expression is perfect. XD

Here's a little update.

My newest paperchild. It's been quite a few month since the last one, but I finally decided to make this one. I'm really starting to enjoy making these things. This one is of my character Cindy and she doesn't seem too happy that someone's messing with her gun... o.o

Also, sorry about the bad quality ^^;

Cindy the Eagle © me

I really like this one; perfect cut, by the way. =D
I don't know anyone that would be happy with someone else messing with their gun.

The image quality isn't really all that bad, since I can make everything out quite well. ^^
Her contemptuous look is hilarious. XD

I see the art progresses, I have to ask, is it difficult making the cutouts come out so perfectly?

I'm not sure if they are even perfect at all. ^^; I just tend to keep cutting until I'm happy with it.

But thanks alot you two! ^^

Aww, you have such a cute style!
<3
I think my favourite is of Kogasa Tatara, I really like that pose.
And you're doing pretty well for coloured pencils!
Your anatomy is also pretty good, and I like the way you add lighting.
I think what would really add to your drawings is if you'd play around with the location/magnification of your characters.
All of your pictures seem to have characters in the middle at around the same height.
I think it'd be pretty cool to see close-up faces, or a different point-of-view for the same characters.
Maybe some perspective practice?
Overall, I love your stuff!
C:

Thank you so much! ^^
And yeah definitely I shall practice doing so! ^^

Beginner artist my ass!
Those look amazing!
The amount of detail really presents itself nicely.
Well done indeed

wow thank you. That means a lot ^^

Here's an Update for Christmas!!!



It's been 2 years since I've drawn something for Christmas, but I decided: why not do so this year? Looks like Kate has taken in for Santa and has to deliver the gifts along with her Elf/brother. It's seems like it's going to be a long night, good luck you two, you're going to need it. Looking back at my first Christmas drawing I'm so happy to see how much I've improved over these years. I've decided that I would make this into a gift for my family. I put a lot of work into this drawing and I hope they like it.
Happy Holidays to everyone on the RRR forums!!

Great work there! Love the idea, and you've done an excellent job colouring this one.

Happy Christmas!

At last, my first drawing for 2012 ^^


Something I've been wanting to draw for quite a while now. I decided why not draw my favorite character from Blazblue? I enjoyed drawing this one. Her childlike nature is so funny and cute, so I decided to make the background sort of match that personality. I also tried drawing in front view; it's been so long since I've drawn this way....

Sadly, I didn't quite have all the right colors required for her, so I improvised a little ^^;

Taokaka © Blazblue

Wow, you've done very well on this one.
It is plainly obvious that you like this character, as you seem to have put a lot more effort in doing her justice by the picture. ^^

(Love the "extras" too.)

Thank you, I'm glad to see that I've put effort in this. it's encouraging. ^^

Yep another drawing so soon as well as one of flaky, I just couldn't help myself. :3 I decided at the time why not experiment with different poses while I was at it? So that's what I did and I thought the results came out well. ^^ And no she's not doing what you think she's doing, that was the only backfire the pose had when I showed it to my friends in rl. ^^;
Also, I know the background is lazy again, but that isn't the main focus of the picture, now is it?
Flaky © Happy Tree Friends or Mondo Media

I really like this one, the red colour is nice. ^^
Nice work on the trees too.

She even has a tail! :3

Well I really don't see much art like this anymore, didn't know if ppl still did it like this, I cant say as I like it as in the color method, its color pencil right? The color just doesnt fill the characters, I like the artwork well enough but the color just stands out to me in a bad way. Do you use anyother methods to color?

Yeah it's color pencil, I've been wanting to get away from this type of media for a while, but as of now I don't have any other methods of coloring. I can't use photoshop, because I lost it when my com crashed (my teacher was nice enough to let me use the school CD to get it) I've been trying to learn how to use gimp, but I haven't found a good tutorial. If you guys can help me find a good tutorial, please let me know.

Thanks for the feedback. ^^
