I just finished the cover page for the first comic, the "First Meeting". As you would expect, it will show how Cecil met Koh =3!

And here's Page 1!

Reminds me of that old movie with (I think) Shirley Temple.
I like.

You did pretty good here. I like it. Reminds me to take a look at Guardian Angel after I've done with quest building and all that stuff.

When you post artwork yous should comment on what other people have posted. Not only does it help give help the artists by giving constructive feedback, but also prevents some from being skipped, etc.

Pimpy: You like pink a lot. The first picture reminds me of those Victorian-era mock-up photos.

Not sure how much you've changed in the Dr. pic. Less blood on the napkin, white outline, mostly the same. Pretty sweet, you'll be doing indie cd covers in no time kid.

Oh, and I don't know how long you've had it for, but I like the signature.

Usually when critique is given in this thread it goes ignored.

Funny thing though, you said "you'll be doing indie cd covers in no time kid." and an indie artist noted me on dA the next day asking me to do some album art for him. You psychic, you.

That sir, is the trippiest picture I've seen in a while.

EDIT: Is its nose bleeding?

If nothing else though, it provides the artist with a confirmation that their work didn't get skipped over and was seen by someone . I doubt any serious critique will cause any immediate changes, but if just one small thing can be improved through constant pandering it's a job well done.

For what it's worth to, I now check my comics to make sure I haven't left any "a" open, or otherwise looking like a "u".

Psychic nothing. You're style of drawing is realistic with whimsical touches, and you've got a very good eye for color. Hipster indie musicians will eat that up. Your wardrobe will slowly convert to plaid and your fridge slowly accumulate PBR's in no time.

Reminds me of a larger version of that avatar you used to have. Like it, though I think even more consideration for where to put the rainbow splashes could make it a lot better.

Re: the tree one: Don't care for the moon, sun, dark green circle to the right of the center tree. Yay swirls.

Spent three hours yesterday drawing six musicians (among other small graphics) for a top 20 albums of 2010 for newspaper. I'll post the other ones when I can, but here's one of em.

That looks fantastic! Was that electronically or on paper?

Here's page 2 of my comic...

I guess so.

I actually took the moon out of the other picture after you mentioned that. I was iffy about it beforehand but meh, it looks much better now.

I like the sketchiness of your Kanye drawing.

Mr.Pimpy; can't name a particular artist, but I know there were plenty of artists who did images like that where there's a picture both rightside up and upside down. The sheep/dragon one is fantastic. Can't think of anything to take away that'd make it better, or add. The composition is great the way it is.

Other one is fun, and I like the idea of stacking them ontop of eachother so people can tell the true design detail, but the background doesn't do much for me.

Here's the rest. 25 minutes each roughly. Not sure how many anyone could actually guess, but eh, for the article they worked really well

Is the last one Rihanna? I don't recognize the others. s:

Oh, it's a wolf actually. Playing with the "wolf in sheep's clothing" idiom. And yeah I'm not too satisfied with the joge-e one either but it was just a sketch so I could get a feel on the style.

"Elysian Juggler" (Click for the large, uncensored version. There is no genitalia in the picture, just a blank crotch, but I figured I should censor it in the thumbnail anyways)



Spent 7 hours on that one today. Pretty satisfied with it as a whole, not looking for critique because I'm aware of its flaws.

"Dots"





"Leave Me Alone"

Hope you fix your problems, and that's some epic art! I could never draw that well DX! I could actually see some of those as CD covers !

As for me, now that I have my laptop back, I scanned and uploaded all of those deviations I kept telling you guys about, and here's the block:

Stewie on Brian's Back (Art Trade).
Stewie and Brian Holding Hands (Art Trade).
Brian, Not Amused.
Hey, It's Brian!
Just Brian.
Just Cecil (1st on Lined Paper).
Cecil and Koh (2nd on Lined Paper).
Cecil Clears a Stage (Last on Lined Paper).
Cecil Shows Koh the Spirit.
Cecil and Sheila Under the Mistletoe.
Cecil and Koh Are New Sailor Recruits!?
Kid-Friendly Cecil.
Sherlock Daugge.
Cecil and the 25 Essential Expressions Challenge.
Cecil Being Silly.
Koh's Ways of Coaxing Cecil (Page 1).
Cecil Lounding Again.
Cecil Protesting Against...

Well, that's a lot XD!

Sorry to hear about your personal stuff. However, the art is amazing. Definitely belongs in some galleries. Favorite of these is Nostalgia, I set it as my background.

(For when you return), What programs do you use for your art? Or is it all by physical mediums? Either way, it's really awesome stuff, I'm impressed.

[Mr. Pimpy]

Heh, actually I'm still here but my internet gets cut off later today and I hadn't thought I would make any more art between then and now. /:

I usually draw my lineart in graphite, ink, or charcoal and then color it in Photoshop. I also apply textures and the likes from stock photos. These are complete photomanipulations:

They all look great! My favorite is Tower Granfalloon, as it reminds me of Asura/Ashra.

I forgot to post my drawings from yesterday and today, here they are!

Art Trade with Shadowlink350
Art Trade with 8Cutegirl8, First attempt at layers.
Another Art Trade with Shadowlink350, Second attempt at layers.
A Sub For Cecil, Third Use of layers.

Not bad, but I feel like your stuff could be a lot smoother. Too much white space where there are supposed to be solid colors, and you can kind of see it in the lines as well.

Also, in the places you put shadows (like in your second attempt one), the colors could flow a little more. Maybe gradient in a little smoother, mix some colors a little more. If your shadows remain one color, or the same color as the lighter part (when using colored pencils), then it kind of limits how heavy you can fill in the lighter parts and you get more white areas.
