Description I drew Cheza. I think it turned out okay. I haven't submitted anything in awhile because I've been trying to fix a lot of the things that are fundamentally wrong with my art. Basically I've been learning to draw again. It's really frustrating, but hopefully things will be better when I'm done giving myself the largest artistic audit in history.

This was just a little doodle, actually on a scratch piece of paper while I was studying. I scanned it and colored it in painter.
Now I need to go and do my homework... *sigh*

enjoy all! I don't know when I'll next put something up, so... this could be all for another month! sumimasen.

Very beautifully done. I love how soft the piece looks.

Cheza looks so sad... and so pretty.
I love the colors! I like the shinies!

That's really pretty! I like the moody sort of feeling it has, despite not having dark colours. I really, really like the hair.

oh, thanks! It's pretty old, but I'm still glad you like it, anyway!

I do! I didn't even notice the date. I was surprised though, since I'm more used to seeing the art style you use for Zap! (I'm a new reader )

oh! Yeah, I sort of shift around in styles. I'm weird like that. That pic is more of my natural style, while Zap!'s look is something I came up with to match the tone of the series. I'm starting to get the hang of it! lol. ^__^

always nice to hear from new readers. So many people just lurk and never say anything to me. *shifty eyes*

Since I went through the entire archives in about a day, I can see how your style evolved for it, yes I envy your ability to do different styles.

Naveed is my favourite, then Gunner came along I can't choose between them now. I have to confess that I really, really want to smack Zap most of the time And, occasionally, Reona.

Lepas In reply to Phoenikoi [2005-04-02 01:00:27 +0000 UTC]

lol. reona DOES need a little straightening out most of the time. Zap's just an insufferable goofball. Gunner's my favorite character to draw right now, because I'm finally getting to use his face to express his character. When he first showed up, I had to hold back and make him smile a lot, and not in a creepy "I'm a badass" sort of way, but a "hey, let me ride on your spaceship" kinda way. lol

I love Naveed, too. Fight scenes are like my favorite to draw, and she always gets to fight when she shows up! Heck yes! ^__^

Anywho, thanks for taking the time to poke around in my gallery and listen to me babble.

No problem, it's nice to get to talk to the artist behind the comic ^_^

I think I just happen to like the characters that get a lot of cool pose-y moments. I liked Grivak, too. But he died ;_; I think Grontar's cute though ^_^

A persons style and art is fluid ever changing never fully formed and unending.

Dont put your art down...its the flaws that makes a thing perfect. They're the things that support your good points and make it more human, more natural.

Holy cow. You never cease to amaze. Where can I get one of those gadgets you draw with? The thing you were telling me about a while back. Some kind of stylus?

Lepas In reply to VagabondX [2004-11-17 00:33:11 +0000 UTC]

it's called a graphics tablet, and you're def good enough to invest in one. Just make sure to get a wacom, cause there are some other brands that are crappy. They range up from 100-around500 bucks. I think you should be able to pick one up at like... office depot, best buy or some other place. I think I got mine at that place on 71st... not best buy though... the OTHER one...
