Description Despite all the creepy fanatics out there, I'm sill a Sasuke fan. There's a larger version if you feel like looking at it a little closer. =o]

No, not for this which is pretty obvious when you look at it. It looks pretty bad huh? Hahah

Not really. It's good.
Oh, now I noticed that the left leg is badly foreshortened. But it's good!

This picture looks good, I like it. (:
But one thing: In my opinion his left foot is too small.. It doesn't look very realistic.

Tongman In reply to Cupcake-Chan95 [2009-07-27 02:14:19 +0000 UTC]

What's the real problem is that I can never finish a piece in more than one sitting. Therefore when I finish an illo, I've overexposed myself to that piece for too long, in turn not seeing the flaws sometimes. Guess I'll never learn... or will I?

BAM! Awesome pose, Thuong . I'm really digging that you're not shying away from the dynamic poses at all :d. Feedback wise - did you ever think about using varied color lines? Like the color of the outline changes depending on what the fill color is (maybe a darker shade of whatever's inside). I think it'd compliment your work a lot.

Also, to help you out with the dynamicism and perspective, you should totally smack some atmospheric perspective on the trailing scarf and back leg :d.


NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Tongman In reply to JenZee [2009-07-06 04:55:58 +0000 UTC]

Yea the varied color lines is def a technique I've wanted to use, but I haven't quite figured out how really. I was afraid of using the darker shade cuz it seemed too easy of a solution, but now that I think about it more, it makes perfect sense to do so. And I didn't even THINK about fading out the leg and cloak to get the "atmo-persp" effect. These are great suggestions, Jen. Your input means a lot to me so thank you! =oD

As long as you are fine with signing a life long contract with Gama Bunta... and training... I can teach you Sage techniques. Just don't ask for any freaky Sexy no jutsu... its starting to get embarrassing.

There is so much power in this pose man. If you get the chance, you should study folds. I think it would strengthen these kinds of illustrations even more.
Man, your leveling!

brokenALCHEMY [2009-06-15 21:10:24 +0000 UTC]

Slick work, T. I think this looks fine as is, but if you really want to go for a more painterly style, like you've said, start going in and blocking out forms before thinking about colours and such. Don't be afraid to start off ridiculously messy with it, either, and then go in with smaller brushes and refine it.

Again, though. Looks slick.

lazymills1986 In reply to Tongman [2009-06-15 17:21:00 +0000 UTC]

WHAT? we will battle now. frankly there stupidity is a change from what i've been seeing lately in the new arcs. it's like all the comical relief has left the building. Naruto is no longer funny and rude. but then again, i think that's one thing that annoyed people about his character. so it's no surprise people will find the new characters annoying. but yeah. i never liked that all the characters were so puny. no tones. no pecks at all. idk when those two fight, it better be animated right. i still watch the anime, but only because i am hoping to see the quality come back. actually the last episode got the good animation team going on it. the anime lost so many fans after the filler wars.

Tongman In reply to lazymills1986 [2009-06-15 17:49:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, fillers aggravate me to no end. I have ZERO tolerance for that stuff. Not only are they a waste of time, they decimate the integrity of the creation. I agree with you about seeing the well-animated ones though, but the ratio of shit-animated episodes to well-animated ones keeps me from watching it. One series I can think of that has a better ratio is Soul Eater. Solid animation right there. Have there been any quality animated episodes since Team 7 vs Hidan & Kakuzu?

lazymills1986 In reply to Tongman [2009-06-15 19:13:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah. Naruto is messing up. the last ep is picking up on where i used to be. but since the team 7 vs Hidan and K, they had a lame filler. i think they are trying to do filler between every story arc so the annie won't catch up with the manga. so the last arc was filler and they are just NOW getting back into the story. at the moment Orochi is sexing sasuke up for his body. the animation is clean and fresh looking but they haven't used the same animation team they used with the team 7 vs H&K fight. me hopes they do well since sasukes team hawk is gonna make the show in a couple eps. we'll see
