Description
This is for 's contest. fav.me/d6yogcd
I guess I should talk about this guy
He currently has no name.
He is usually found alone, as he does not trust people easily. His prosthetic limbs are a result of a childhood accident (involving people)
The sword is called "Lanlong" (which means blue dragon in Chinese. I can't think of anything better right now). LanLong is retractable and it's non-dangerous form is just a hand brace.
Yellow is his least favorite color
That's all I can think of for now...

Wow, interesting design. Love it! 
And speaking of contests i finally think i know what i'm doing for your contest (after i changed my idea like 6 time -_-)

hehe, hopefully by the end, I'll have enough points for 2 contests!
Thank you, I had to draw this guy a few times cause of my art block
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll be looking forward to that too ^-^
oh no! the dreaded art block! This picture came out great though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, my art block mostly makes me feel lousy. But while the exams are going on, I think I will focus more on my sketchbook because I haven't really written anything in it and I was supposed to...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, i guess art block has that effect. I never know what to draw so i guess i have art block all the time. Well, more or less it's i have tons of ideas but i don't know how to go about drawing it. Do you have that same problem?
And writing as in sketchbook assignments for a drawing class? Those are both good and bad because you don't get to draw what you want but it forces you to draw something you normally wouldn't and/or write something.

An art-block for me means I have a lack of new ideas + for some reason I forget how to start + suddenly everything looks awful @_@ therefore I keep easing. Then I get
Usually when I have an idea I do a lot of thumbnail sketches and I find that helps.
We have to write about our work. Plus IB wants you to look at other people's work analyze it and compare with another artwork. -___-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That happens to me sometimes too. I sometimes just go through periods of time where all my drawings look really bad but then there's some random good one mixed in there somewhere (which is why i never let people go through my sketchbook)
I do a lot of thumbnail sketches too (but most of the time i completely change it -_-) And it never turns out the way i envisioned it
Oh. O_o i wouldn't like that. I don't really like comparing artwork because everyone has their own unique style.

Yea 100 bad ones before a single good one (I'm exaggerating but the point is there)
I have a good sketchbook and a bad one. In the bad one I'm like whatever. In the good sketchbook, I take the stuff I like in the bad sketchbook and transfer it
IB makes sure you compare everything -___-
I think I'm just going to compare anime and realism
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol i bet it will take me that amount XD
That's a good idea
But with your set up, you don't have to worry about messing up your "good" sketchbook with practice sketches and whatnot.
That seems like a good comparison. To me, it seems like a halfway point between realism and cartoons. Which makes for an interesting topic.

Thank you ^-^
I think I'm growing attached to digital art... think I might go back to paints sometime.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol hahaha i should go back to traditional media paints i miss them u.u digital just doesnt do what i want all the time. though i have been doing some more free hand pen drawings lately
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's true. Digital has good and bad... grrr.... I haven't had time to crack open my paint for a while!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol yeah i thinkboth require time to master unless youre a born prodigy at everything XD which im not. lol and yeah thats how i feel! i need some PAINTING!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think prodigies need time to master things too. Just less time I guess.
hehe what are you going to paint?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha true! they probably do need some time too.
and hmm I got asked for two paintings by people at work, one of ironman and one of the ocean at sunset, which ive never painting the ocean before and I have been wanting to practice my skies
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, show me when you're done!
XD
I love skies, skies, skies, skies, skies, skies!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe think the ocean as another sky, but stormier
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that's a really good idea. Ill need to have some crashing waves, it was asked for lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see! Good luck on that! those are hard!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah so I am seeing x.x I don't even know how to begin XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe just splash some color on without caring?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol that's what I was thinking about just doing and having trial and error about how to make the colors work and turn into waves/waters xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^-^ Feel the waves!
I think maybe at first don't try to use all the colors ^0^ I wana see what you come up with!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol ill do what I can. I think I wanna do it in segments and then take pictures of my steps so if I go to far I can start over with a step I liked better or something. but im waiting on the guy who wants it to pick what kind of sunset he wants.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Are you doing it digitally or traditionally?
Maybe if you are doing it traditionally you can experiment on small pieces of paper and then compare it. I find that it's easier for me to do it that way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
im doing it traditionally oil paint on canvas ill be doing minor steps first with colored pencils on small papers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
colored pencils are different than oil thou -___- what if you can't get the same effect?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
true but a base of what colors to aim for are better then no idea to start with xD ill work the colors until I find what I need I suppose. its been so long x.x I just hope I can do this
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww thanks for the support sadly I wont get to it this weekend :/ family ruined my plans...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
>_<
how big is it going to be?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Im not sure yet probably a small panel no larger then 24 inches but I was thinking maybe a 18in and like maybe a 10in or 9 in
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah so medium small ish
How is it going so far?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah medium to small ish. But if he wants a bigger one I wont mind. I like painting at any size really
and its not going well, I have only like 3 hours of daylight and I am... running on empty it feels like im so dizzy a lot this week
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
<_> maybe some sleep is more important? I get really dizzy if I don't sleep. At least there is only going to be more and more day light ^-^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah it is and i surely need more sleep :/ but I just cant seem to get to sleep or sleep enough even when i sleep 10 hours x.x and same i get dizzy if i don't eat or sleep or both and true i see the sun rise every day i get home from work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same, and if I get too much sleep my neck hurts O_O
At least sun rises are beautiful!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol if I sleep too much I get tired xD and my body finally starts healing and so I am stiff when I wake up like all my muscles need to be stretched as soon as I wake up
and yes they are lol though its getting to be almost daylight when im home and the bird are singing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm... maybe that's me too! But again, on my mom's side there's a lot of bad bones and joints so maybe it's generic for me.
How can you see with the daylight thou? It has to to be completely dark for me to sleep
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have arthritis so everything makes me achy xD
and its hard... its one of the many reasons I don't get enough sleep when im working night shift u.u I am always so tired... when im driving home I have to blast my music and drive with the windows down so the air and loud noises keep me awake so I don't crash and die
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ick. Lately I've been having issues with my back. I can't sit, and lie down without some level of discomfort.
On those long road trips when my dad is about to fall asleep at the wheel, my mom feeds him gum. Maybe that will help you stay awake?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah my back was so stiff when I was sleeping last night I only half fell asleep ^^"
