Beautiful. I don't know much about realism so I can't say haha

They're lovely.

Anime Expo? Where's that? Hahah not that far down. A bit up there =) Sakura! =( I heard that it was fun...that there are nice people...yet I also heard that there are creeps and pervs there? What?! Ahahah so like none of my girls are coming so its just me n the guys...in a hotel. My mom's so gonna kill me...IF she finds out LOL pjb21: All the evidence that I gave you leads to the conclusion that I am a man! hahahha you're so silly =P Yeah I think I'll get the black tights and cut it down to midthigh then sew on some white elastic bands. Truthfully, I've never gone stocking shopping before hahaha fun stuff! How do I know if it's opaque or not? Stretch it? (what's a trainer?) 150 bucks for shoes you're going to wear for like 2 days? That's a bit outrageous hahahah Good luck getting the money. Maybe you should go down to Varrock square and ask for gold pieces....hehe Converses are ok in my opinion ^^ I don't own any though O.o and those DO look like converses hahah. Yuffie's actual shoes have heels so yeah it makes it look less like converses...but I'm not gonna add heels to the soles, nope. The picture of her in that cloak...it's just a reference pic =) They're the same girls but from different versions. Like the one I'm making is from Advent children and the cloak is from a game called Dirge of Cerebus (is it any good?) I live in washington state! Its not THAT cold. But wearing an outfit that skimpy in spring weather?! No...and I hope it doesn't rain. That's why there's that cloak. Ahh it'll all make sense in the end! Hopefully.

Take a guuessss The biggest one in the north west USA?

Mark: Yeah Vincent is awesome! Pomar1: Good luck with that hahah Rik: =\ Link works for me...dunno what's wrong >< shin: Yeah the shuriken is too big, my second one is made out of cardboard foam or something. Paper foam? I have no idea but the foam is protected by cardboard so it should be spray safe ^^ Remoteman: Ye[ I'm gonna coat it with some sort of coating? Like a paint finish or something. Thanks for the tip! PJB: Nice cloak haha, looks like voldemort. And, any teen in a fabric store is rare around where I live too hahah. They see me often enough now XD I'm gonna find elastic cloth for the stockings or just cut up some tights. I don't have any black tights though.. And princess is a man....hahahah =3

Ok first off...I hope I'm not breaking any rules because I remember there was something against posting live pics or something? So I edited the pictures. ----------------------------------------------------------- All characters belong to Square ----------------------------------------------------------- Ok...so a couple of years ago I saw Advent Children and was bloown away by the graphics haha. I mean, I don't even play the games, but I watched it anyways cuz the pictures were so darn good. Then...I fell in love with Yuffie Kisaragi's outfit! I'm a sucker for ninjas hahah Um so instead of doing my usual drawing I decided to try sewing? Yeah sewing. Lol walking in the fabric store...good experience. I just noticed not many girls like to sew. Um yeah it's kinda hard at first, especially since my mom refused to teach me. But she has like EVERYTHING [almost]. Um so I sat there drowning in blood and tears trying to figure out how to use the sewing mACHINE. Dude that thing is so old! Anyhow it all worked out. Um yeah back to the point. I made a costume! It's a bit too early for halloween.. WIP Some Reference pictures (I used like 25): http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/9736 ... gi5no8.jpg Yeah I'll never look as good as that O.O Going to make her disguise from Dirge of Cerebus for warmth cuz it's COLD where I live . Basing off those references, I made a blueprint/pattern thing on photoshop: My costume [i'll retake pics of details later] - No front view yet since I didn't finish the pockets and hoodie Side View [Good shot on pouch] Three pocket/pouches: One's zipped up The other is just open and the biggest one has a flap (i need to add a button/velcro) [yeah my cam sucks] Tag on pants is sticking out haha Long glove [like 2 hours on this one] This was hard because the fabric doesn't stretch....and your hand is bigger than your wrist...had difficulties putting that one on. Short glove [hahah 20 seconds on this one] Made 100% from my ripped up orchestra sweatshirt hahah Progress Shorts > 100% Gloves > 95% Jacket > 85% Boots > 98% Stockings > 70% Inner shirt design > 5% Headband > 0% Shuriken 1 > 75% Fuuma Shuriken > 5% Weapon WIP: Shuriken 1 (i'm making a second one, this one's too big) Need to buy lots of chrome spraypaint and silver paint hahah Boot progress: stitches ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- I'm done! See page 2

Hehe I always ddraw legs too long ^^ greatest weakness Dooone Rushed background

=) Thanks!! but... I didn't use the smudge tool (used the eyedropper like crazy) I don't know why it looks smudged? Is it the brush? Dunno. The opacity n flow levels are lower than 75% Update

Yeah teeth are weiiiRRdd And she's not supposed to be smiling, as I just found out. *sigh*

Hm my style is always sort of blocky with cell shading n stuff. I saw some great digi painting on DA and got inspiiiireeed. .I should so be studying for my finals >< Any tips for a digital paint newbie?

Great tutorial although I didn't read everything XD But it's evident you put a lot of time into this~~~

Doesn't matter what kind of tablet you have. I hear there are lots of other good tablets... Although the most commonly used is a wacom? Hm. I dunno any other brands though

Sometimes I think I give harsh CC But it's always meant to help the artist...so yeah What anime is it from?

Abhinav_g90: yep I resized it down...otherwise it would've screwed up everyone's computer >< Here's the full size: http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/1080/13wd4.jpg I always work on a huge canvas. ANd when I upload it on the internet it's always resized. I think I resized down to 25% Ok my CS is bought...why is there porno on the walls (I dont think it's a virus, my computer is very well protected)? And are people generally aggressive..? Conversation wise?

Thanks for the help! Srsly this forum owns at giving contructive criticism. It started to bug me a bit when I get like 50 responses (diff forum) and all of them are like "great job it's PERFECT" Nice to know but won't help me improve =P Contrast on shading IS a bit high hehe pjb21 You hit the nail! I'm not sure if they're gf/bf. I'll have to ask. I fixed his hair (its not uploaded). I did do blending which you can see on the original. I guess once you zoom out the small details go bye bye. I made it more visible now. Hehe the ears! I noticed that when sketching and just shrugged it off..now I can't fix it without spending more than five minutes >< Ahhhh when can I get rid of anatomy problems!?!? *sigh* (the girl isn't perfect but I'm not saying where heehe) kinslayer: It is sexist! I was only an inch shorter than my ex hahah rik: Two months *sigh* I used to have time to log on every day =( Garrgoyle: Oh Noes!! I probably forgot about it or was consumed by too much homework. >< I *knew* I had something to do here. I hope you can forgive me =) Despaxes: I hate purple too! Lol do you like pink? I think pink pawns purple. Speaking of which I learned irl it's not pronounced "pawn" it's "pown" [how embarassing, and I call myself a gamer] ---- anyone play a game called counter-strike?

Yup yup. I use the pen tool a different way. I don't select the check box. The lines are 2 pixels and I go over the ends with an eraser at the appropriate areas to give it the "tapered" effect =)

How I draw (NOT a tutorial) I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t consider this a tutorial because IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m not really teaching anything. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m just showing how I draw (no coloring and shading here). There are many ways to draw. This is one of my main methods of drawing =P Pardon me for my grammar and EnglishÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæitÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s not my first language. IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m posting this on another site hence a different screen name, so no need to accuse me of ripping. Afterall, princess has several identities ;-) What I use: Photoshop (7.0 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ version doesnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t matter much) Wacom/Mouse (IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll explain later) Okay. I open up PhotoshopÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæthen I create a new fileÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâæI usually go along the lines of ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åthe bigger the better.ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

When was the last time I posted? Sometime last year not too long ago probably XD HMm nOthing much has happened...had a great xmas...new years...yup yup. Sad newwwws ....both my gerbils expired =( I guess they grew old and just passed away. *sigh* Anyhow not particularily sad since they lived a full life. BUt yeah 3 day weekend this weekend so I decided to finish up several pics =P Hows it going with everyone? (goes back to meatball + rice dinner) (character design, storyline belongs to RSI. Drawing and art by mee) Details: other random pics (server DA): super old ugly pic >< commission

Skull3k3: Um hours. Like lots of hours XDD Imhomer: Changed mouth a bit, better? Despaxes: Yes changed eyes, they're closer but slightly bigger WeeBoab: Yeah I'm caught between realism and the japanese style. Too hard to do realism but anime is too simple. Smooth_dudes: Define mad? PJB21: Yeah her hips look odd, they look normal in the sketch, when you can't seee the tails. I think the main prob is the angle she's sitting and her hip is hidden by the two tails, her fox tail and the dog's mermaid tail thingy. Yeah and my work isn't perfect haha Xman: Shoot! I forgot the gerbil! *adds to note* Fatbill: thanks =) Rik: I sure hope I improved! I learned how to do clouds, skies, water, rocks, and grass. Had to look at tons of pics of what water looks like at night, and it stiill doesn't look right lol Remoteman: Yeah I have prints for my walls since my mother got rid of my tiger posters. *sigh* Did I miss anyone? Eyes fuzzing out O.o

Ok yeah I was wondering what's wrong with her mouth. Will fix the width of her eyes too! Thanks! I also tried fiddling with the water >< Brb

Updated! Does the grass look real? Cads: I'd hurt you if I could XD :lol:

Cad = OHHH that's what he meant! Dark_shadow said "Cad!" at the end of his post and I didn't know what he was talking about. Lool. How old did you think I was...? 17 is young right?!?! Yeah anyhow I go poof from time to time because life is getting busy >< No time to draw etc because I have to maintain school, clubs/extracurricular activities, lessons, social life, homework, etc. PJB: Hijack..thread..? Did something happen around here? O.o Anyways yeah I can only draw "Right" if it's something I like doing. I also like to draw pretty things and sceneries etc...so hopefully this piece will turn out somewhat like I imagined it....hopefully...hahah. Yeah and I cant draw without lines, I'm like a precise person...*sigh* So it's hard for me to freestyle paint. Remoteman: Yeah I'll do something about the grays XD Update on background. I suck at backgrounds and never do them so ANY CC would be appreciated.

Circular part around the eye...part of the bridle? I think hehe ^^; There seems to be no easy way to make REALLY clean lineart unless you scan and retrace. I do my artwork on the computer normally anyhow. The reason why there was a paper sketch was cuz I didn't have my laptop with me at the time. And speaking of time consuming, yeah it took me around 6 hours. But that's probably cuz I haven't touched photoshop for such a long time. CGs use to take me less than 12 but I have a feeling this one will be wayy more time consuming. Cad?

Ahh I'm done! XD If anyone's up for CC or notice anything changeable...any CC is fine, be as critical as you want. This isn't perfect, and it didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to (never does), however I can make small improvements. But I guess I can't be too picky since it's my 2nd bg >< Also, I wanna thank you guys for your help so far, it's great =) I've fixed her face O.o Colored the grass, his pants, the tail, added little itty bitty stuff here and there. I think I'm lacking detail for the background, any ideas? Like something for the sky? Get rid of the dragon? 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 Note to self : Leather H1 Sword n Belt S2. Hilt.

But it has been a long time since I posted on these forums. Yeah we have a 6-day weekend due to a snow storm. It rocks! Um nothing new with me...almost finished with college apps ^___^ Quickie sketch Hella time consuming lineart Starting to color heh http://i16.tinypic.com/2v8lpqr.jpg Neatened it out ... http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/2466/wip3oe3.jpg More coloring... http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/5480/wip3rd7.jpg

I like the background XD Iceblock: you seem to have used overly bright colors for it, so it seems out of place in the sig overall =)
