Practise is not in my vocabulary.

[borockman]

That is most certainly lies and slander.

(look at rad art)

[Rad Lionheart]

I don't practise.

[Sub Tank]

Wish I could paint like you.

I could if I knew what brush tool to use.  And the exact settings.  And how to make the colors.

[Dr. Wily II]

Wow... That butt chin...
Was that done in SAI as well?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The irony

He said normal SAI brushes.

[KoiDrake]

Yup

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The irony

He said normal SAI brushes.

Exactly. You should be able to do something cool with the default SAI brushes, there´s no need to mess with any of the settings.

[Dr. Wily II]

SAI too...
I must say... Wow.
Your skills... Wow.

[Sniper X]

Well, I don't have SAI, but I have Photoshop CS3.

[KoiDrake]

Well, with Photoshop I do a few tinkering with the brush settings but nothing too complicated. The only things I got to touch are the pen pressure option for either brush size or opacity, and the spacing, which isn´t at 0px by default for some reason in the round brushes.

I still should try with textured brushes and more complicated stuff, but that´s for some other time...

this [parasitic bomb] takes too long

[Protoman Blues]

The results are great though!

[Dr. Wily II]

this [parasitic bomb] takes too long

... WOW
Seriously, wow.

[borockman]

I can almost taste orange juice from that pic.

[Blackhook]

...now I´m thirsty

[KoiDrake]

jajaja, that´s awesome man

How much time did you take to make it? You will definitely get faster with the time.

[Sub Tank]

I don't remember.  I just had to keep resizing my brush size and switching from water color to brush mode. 

I know there's a better method to coloring like that but I can't figure it out.  I've seen people paint the whole background a solid color before, and use that as their darkest shade.  Which would probably be useful, because my brush keeps mixing in the whiteness from outside my colored space.

Blimey! These are awesome! I'm currently trying to learn with SAI. I kinda got tired of using the pen tool in Photoshop and wanna practice drawing with a tablet. Any tutorial sites for a newbie?

[KoiDrake]

That´s what hotkeys are for. I use the , and . to decrease and increase the brush size, and then use a separate letter for each type of brush.

The water tool works as a weird mix of the smudge tool from PS and a low opacity brush, so you should work from the inside of the color and use the white bg to fix the outline. It´s a great tool to mix a few colors here and there to make the pic more lively. Your drawing looks really nice though.

I really don´t know of any tutorial for SAI, so I wouldn´t be able to point you to any useful one.

[Cpie]

Not on RPM lol

I'll try to get you some.

[KoiDrake]

So, as you can all tell by the activity in this thread, I haven´t done anything in a while, so I suddenly felt like drawing some random dude. Got bored halfway thru though, like I always do

[spoiler][/spoiler]
I´ll probably finish it some other time.

And another robot. I´m trying to define the design of an old sketch a bit more...
[spoiler][/spoiler]

[Protoman Blues]

That is a REALLY awesome robot design.  Kinda like a Toxic Seahorse cousin, but more bad-ass!

[Rad Lionheart]

I can see it doing the Toxic Seahorse head movements too.

[Dr. Wily II]

I was reminded of Dhalsim in the first pic.
Though wow at the second one. Does he have a name?

[Sub Tank]

It's totally a skinny Sagat.  TIGER UPPERCUT!
