Some awesome stuff there. I especially like Gearvot[must say though that his right leg looks off] and Garver [AND that lantern monster thing from a few posts ago]. But yes, I wouldn't have been able to tell that Joseph was male if it wasn't for the "male" sign pointing to him. It probably delivers from his pose + his expression + he being rather skinny, but I think giving him another pose might be enough to fix the problem.

Gearvot's leg might look a bit off because his standing on his forefoot ("toes" persay), course looking at it now it does look a bit odd. Also glad you like those characters (Graver and Lanturn Skull).

As for those particular things you mentioned about Joseph, that's most likely why he looks so feminine. Course that just gives me an excuse to make Trap Art of him. [eyebrow]

[spoiler=Astro iz Dizzy]
Preview of my latest colored pic. I was going to upload the whole pic today, until I noticed that I forgot to color Astro Man's chest piece.

So I'm gonna review the whole pic and see if I forgot to color anything else from the pic. Hopefully I can scan the whole pic tommorrow in it's completed state.

In the mean time, try to guess what exactly is that is going on in the scene.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Speed Trials, Round 1]
Trying this speed drawing, inking, and coloring exercises to make masterpieces in 15 minutes or less, like my anatomy professor.

...

I did this much in 50 minutes, I spent exactly: 15 minutes on sketch, 10 on inks and 25 on coloring...

Yeaaaah, I'm actually very slow. But I did have some fun, more so if I listen to songs like this for motivation, from the Wii naturally...I miss my headphones.

Also this might be the only pic I kept 95% focused/not decide to change something during the process through out a whole damn hour.

Gonna try and finish this in 30 min (those extra mins being background and shadding, not necesarilly in that order). The same thing can be said for the next pic in this trials.

I like the Astro coloring, very bright and colorful.

I never really tried speed drawing, but that fox drawing is awesome for a mere 45 mins.

the other three are original, cast-away characters.

A perfume mascot, a cool cowboy, and a large sniper/gun wielding tomboyi-sh femme fatale. Basically characters that don't really matter that much...might use the for some later work though. They will obviously be drastically redesigned.

I agree with Blackhook on the first pic; awesome looking.

I haven't commented on the second pic yet, but it reminds me of Okami's artstyle[which is greeeat]

Characters on the third pic are also pretty good, especially Mario. I think the end of the "perfume mascot's" dress looks more like smoke than an actual dress, but maybe that was your intention.

Okami? Can't really see the resemblance in the style but thanks for the compliment.

And yes, that was my intention.

*Looks at pic*...I see what you mean...He is manly Woody!

Update, wrote too much, don't wanna talk now, just watch and read.

[spoiler=I dream of Ink]
Here's another of my college practice pics. This was made during the first trimester in Illustration Techniques. This was when we were learning how to use brushes and chinese (at least that's what they called it) ink.

1 of 2 Ink (and water) only pics of mine. This particular one was the best of the two, even if it looks dirty. Unfourtinately this very pic was not displayed in the hall during the Video Game and Animation Festival in october.

The character being I made is called Dream Walker, as for any other details of him, just use your imagination to come up with something for him. Not planning on anything for him anytime soon.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Tablet o' Mediocrity]
I got a tablet. Played with it to get used to it.

I made this in Corel Paint with Pencil Tool

and I obviously don't know [parasitic bomb] about pixel size,

enjoy the scrap my followers!~

PS: I also seem to suck at drawing good proportions on this thing!!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Fate of Designs, Act I]
This is the first of three parts for the character designs.

Because I'm getting sick and tired of making new designs for this characters in almost every fecking update I make, which seems to be leading nowhere to be honest. I decided it was time to finalize this designs once and for all.

However, I'm gonna make this a bit intresting. I drew three different designs for each character. The first [A] in the rows features the characters' the original designs (more or less), second being the designs that where going to be final designs, and the third [C] are the more recent designs I've made.

As you might have guessed I want anyone who reads/sees/skis through this to post which design [from left to right, A B or C] they find more appealing for each character. Now here's the twist, some of you may like design C, but you think that A's shoes/gloves/hair/etc. migt look good on the design. But you also think the color scheme B would be the best choice.

Suggestions like these will probably help in making all new and maybe better design then the three shown here. After the "votes" (read posts), I shall make on final minor alteration to the most popular design and said design shall be used for a project I have in mind.

Now then here's a special treat, those who'se suggestions were used in the final design will not only be credited in the project, but also have the pleasure of having a character created by them appear in this project [said character will obviously not effect the overall story of this project], that is of course if said person wishes to have a character of their own imagining appear in the project.

Voting/Posting starts today on Dec. 16 2010 and ends on the Dec. 31 2010, 12:00 A.M.

His a summary ofthe characters that might help you makea choice. From top to bottom:

Urey Sorrow
A young man who was cursed to be a living voodoo doll. A calm spirit who spends his days running a hobby store. At times he can a bit uncaring, and seems to mostly worry about his own problems.
His goal is to win the tournament earn enough money to keep his store open.

Lily Jeil
A water demoness who posseses an anime figurine. She enslaved the poor (but very willing) fellow who summoned her and now uses him as a weapon. She enjoys showing others that she is a dominant being, and has the strong will and strength to prove it. Though most of the time she acts like a child who's only looking for a good time.
Her motives for entering the tournament are unknown, she says that she merely participates because it seemed fun.

Ktori Pong.
A highly skilled shinobi who created a new jutsu based upon the game of Ping Pong. His a fierce competitor and doesn't hold back on anyone. He has a strong determination to show the world the greatness of his Pongjutsu. His only flaws as a ninja are his anger issues.
As mentioned before, he wishes to show the world just how good Pongjutsu, as well as making Ping Pong a serious sport.

Rotu Lightning
A private eye who's bionic scarf acts as his arms. He is a fan of Jettrock Gnomes, a fictional detective wth high deductve skills, as well as a skilled fighter. Rotu can be a bit cold towards people and acts seriously all the time. He has a strong sense of justice and isn't willing to give up till a case is solved. His also a bit old fashioned as well.
He entered the tournament the find the daughter of his latest client.

Hoho... Interesting update.
I love the first one, the ink and the style fits very well with the character.

And designs... Hmm.

Design eh? this is personal opinion so...

Urey Sorrow.
- Keep hair C but used character B overall appearance.

Lily Jeil.
- C all the way, sailor uniform is too generic I think. maybe keep the face scar too.

Ktori Pong.
- C again, green is pingpong after all, also clever net sash.

Rotu Lightning.

- I actually like A color theme and design.

Well, hope that helps.

Just practicing a bit more with the tablet and SAI, a well as trying to see how good I can be with colors, shading and highlights.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler= A small change to the Fate of Designs rules]I'm changing the rules a bit for the Fate of Designs. Instead of being limited to only the three choices, those who wish to participate or just contribute to the project may post some original suggestions for things that might make the designs a bit more apealing.

Example: "I don't like the hairstyle for Rotu, maybe if you made his hair a bit curvy it would make the character a bit more attractive."

or

"If Urey is supposed to be a voodoo man, he should have a button covering one of his eyes."

Something lika those basically.[/spoiler]

That's why it looks so familiar. I should have seen the resemblance sooner.

That red guy is pretty funky, haha. Must say however that his right hand is seens small compared to the other one.

And I'm a bit late on this, but onto the "Fate of designs", I agree with Borockman on Urey Sorrow and Lily Jeil. Ktori Pong[who has an awesome backstory!], I think you should keep the C design, but perhaps with ping-pong rackets on the side of his hands. I like Rotu Lightning's B design, but think it would be better with A's scarf.

A real designer must decide by their own opinions, not by asking their audience! There is no right or wrong answers, but think wisely that affects the audience liking. ;) That is what I learned in Design Technology class.

This already shows that you use your opinions in your own designs. Do it more until you think it's good for the final design!

Or probably I should help aswell, to practice my uh... design opinion skills. xd

Okay!

Urey Sorrow:

Just like you said. Maybe have buttons or 'X' stitches on his eyes? I like hair C because it looks suitable for strands of threads clump together like that. Add more stitches on his limbs, or some thorn sides to make him look like a ragdoll. Add stitches on his mouth too, maybe. I can't think of changing much more detail on the clothes but, I like most clothes on C, mix the jacket a wee bit with B & C, and use design B for the metal skull on his boots. His weapons are based on pins, right? Make it look like a pin and make really sharp and thin.

Rotu Lightning:

I like hat A. The badge looks eyecatching based off his name. Yeah, the hair needs to be curvy because hairs can't do that. I really think I like everything on design A, but I don't think there is such thing as an 'armless' jacket, so the sleeves of the jacket could stitch on the shoulders. (i.e. like this person's left sleeve: http://images.wikia.com/assassinscreed/images/9/99/Malik.png) Lastly, the scarf. You may just leave as it is(the scarf diguised the bionic parts inside) or make it more bionic (like more metallic).

Yeah, those are just my opinions. Use it if you agree or mix it with your opinions.

EDIT: Damn typos.

You kinda contradicted yourself halfway through the post there. But, I can understand where you're coming from.

Can't tell you too much about what I have in mind with the designs and this little contest I'm hosting at the moment, but I can say the finalized designs for these characters might not be what the audience might expect.

Also, could you add your opinion/choices for Lily and Ktori. I'm keeping score of all the choices given by the participants and it would just look odd if some characters had more votes in their tallies then others.

Ehh... I didn't meant to enter a competition. ^^;

Umm.. ok...

Lily Jeil:
Her colour scheme could change to blue, since she's based on water, or purple, mix of both water(blue) and demon(red). I can't think right now, -_-;  I think design C is good.

Ktori Pong:
I think I like C already... ^^; Add the paddle as the slippers?

Well, hope it helps. ._.

Once you give an opinion and/or choose which design you find more apealing, you automatically enter the contest.

*puts on Scanty & Kneesocks' uniform*

Those are DA RULEZ!!

Thank you for your participation and suggestions for the designs, if your ideas happen to make it in the final design(s) you shall be notified and have the choice to make or have an original character of yours appear in the project.

PS: 3 days left before this part of the mini-contest is over.

Posted on: December 27, 2010, 09:02:06 AM
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I wrote this on the Wii.

It's December 30th, which means this part of the contest is over!

Now there are a few thing I'd like to say in regards to this mini-event. Though this may not seem like it, this contest has helped me learn a bit more about myself and my audience. It also helped me see some errors I may have made with some of the designs shown in the contest. Said errors shall be talked about when I post the new and final design for the characters (which have been finished 2-3 days ago).

Sadly, there's a small problem, at the time I can't upload any new pics since my crappy ass computer has refused to connect to the net for the past 5 days now. And just when I had my sound and scanner utilities back too.

Course it's not all bad, seeing as I'm still working on the color scheme for this characters, experimenting with colors I hadn't thought of for the characters and all that jazz.

For now I can only show you the result for the contest, but as for the winners of the suggestion, I'll leave that for when I upload the finalized designs.

[spoiler=DA RESULTZ!!]
Urey Sorrow
A = 2
B = 10
C = 7

Lily Jeil
A = 5
B = 1
C = 13

Ktori Pong
A = 1
B = 5
c = 13

Rotu Lightning
A = 8
B = 3
C = 8
[/Spoiler]

The final designs are going to be based upon the most popular design choices for the characters.

I thank those who took their time to participate in this contest and hope you will continue to show support in the next two.
