Description I HAVE SWITCHED ACCOUNTS. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT OR FAVOURITE HERE, THANK YOU


Thank you for your interest!β™₯






A sailor boy of mixed heritage I recently started playing in an rpg. Reference used.

This took me forever and a day. Well not really. 6-8 hours only, which is like...too friggin' little time in comparison to other work
I started at a very lowwww resolution @_@ and didn't think of upgrading until is was much too late =_=;; Oh the pain

Impressive. I can't paint so You get a bonus for harder to handle technique, perfection, proportioms (well this time he looks like a boy), for the details. I admired always drawing/painting hair with such beautifull reflexes.

If there's a will, there's a way!

But like with everything you want to be good at..you have to be serious about it

And, have a lot of fun with it. Never lose that

^^ Thankies then, and I love art! So much better than maths... ugh... Anyway, I been trying to pratice construction a lot recently, but just can't seem to make my characters look real. I'm really bad at hands arms and legs, I think they are the worst things. (I usually find a way to cover up the legs i.e long dress ^^ But covering it up makes it worse.) And, I'm not really good at anything really, I like the way I do my eyes, but I could probably do with changing them too. *sigh*

Mute-Banshee In reply to DinBlaze [2004-05-24 19:02:53 +0000 UTC]

Ah...I understand. (I abhor Math, by the way )

Well then, here's lesson one!

Don't cover up the hands or legs or anything you find difficult...if you don't draw them, you won't *learn* how to draw them...mistakes are a wonderful way of getting insight...don't let the feeling that things 'will be ugly' or 'not right' bother you in you choice for drawing something.
Try finding some good references...(I have tons of refs...I never wanted to when I was about 17 or so, because I felt like 'copying' but it's stupid not to use them actually )
Hands are very difficult, for me still a bit too...but it's very rewarding once you get the hang of it, because hands alone can tell stories on their own!

I'll be sure to put in extra attention to hands 'n feet yoh

DinBlaze In reply to Mute-Banshee [2004-05-24 19:16:47 +0000 UTC]

^^ It's Crystal Prophecy actually!! Neva mind, no I don't have MSN, sorry *dad got angry about viruses * Crystal Prophecy is a video game I'm making, along with another called Stolen Destiny. Me and Are doing them. We make a good team. That's why I need to be good at art see, I want to be a games/character designer. ^^ Hyperness is funny.

Ack! I thought I wrote Prophecy... nyeh. Sorry, my bad!

Ohh...a GAME....WONDERFUL....one of my friends is studying to become a game designer/developer, so I basically have the same intention of doing artwork, but we won't be starting that until about 3 years form now *sigh*

Do you have a site? something like that? Be sure to tell me all about it

DinBlaze In reply to Mute-Banshee [2004-05-24 19:28:24 +0000 UTC]

No I don't have a site, exept this one but there is lots of stuff on DA about it. Its what I live for! ^^ I love games, they are so cool. I have been working on Crystal Prophecy since I was 10 (long time) and I've just started Stolen Destiny. We make books first, and my Stolen Destiny one is on my site, as well as the Crystal Prophecy one. To be honest, I'm thinking of starting Crystal Prophecy again.

Mute-Banshee In reply to Valindra [2004-05-02 20:04:25 +0000 UTC]

About 6-8 hours, but it depends, really I'm not very fast eheh Thanks for the comment!

Valindra In reply to Mute-Banshee [2004-05-02 21:20:25 +0000 UTC]

Wow, 6 to 8 hours is pretty good..lol
The very first picture I ever colored in took me month to complete and I'm still not happy with the result.
Keep it up, you have some very nice work there. ^_^V

Mute-Banshee In reply to Valindra [2004-05-09 10:34:02 +0000 UTC]

Practise is the key...also for slow-slow-slow peeps like me heheh.
For my current painting, I had to redo half of his hair...It already took me ages, but in the end..it's still worth it. Just see it as a learning process...it's never waisted time!

Once you get the hang of it, colouring'll come more fun and choices are made more naturallly. I'll start visiting Dev galleries soon....just two weeks and then my finals are almost over...wah
