I don't mean to sound like an egomaniac, but I critiques on my previous post would be appreciated. I mean, it's been a generally accepted rule here for a while that you don't post in this topic without saying something about the previous person's art.

You can't ever really force anyone to comment on something. If someone has something to say, they will say it. It's completely pointless to try and force everyone to say something, cause those who just don't have anything to say will end up saying something pointless, just for the sake of saying it.

PG, that's a mighty fine sketch you got there. Feet look a little blocky, but I'm sure that's just your style. Very nice.

On a side note:

Okay, I'm going to share something that I know about art, whether it be music, filming, sketching, painting, etc. The listener/viewer has to view a piece of art at will to enjoy it. It's just how things work. If they view it at will, it will leave as deep of an impression and hit them as hard as it's potential for that person provides. Now, if a person is forced to listen/look at a piece of art, that takes the beauty of it away. I can understand that you like feedback on your art, but you have to let people see it first. Trust me, even if you have to wait a longer time to get a comment or praise from somebody, it's worth it, knowing that your art impacted them as much as it possibly could have at the time.

Make sense?

I guess I was being kind of an asshat about that, but it's kind of depressing to get entirely skipped over, you know?

Anyway, thanks for C+C! I didn't know quite how to draw the shoes. I can't really make up my mind on what kind of shoes Gouta should have had. I'm stuck between New Balance 473's, which I'm good at drawing but don't really like, and these laceless Sketchers shoes that I like but I can't draw well. Actually, if not for the fact that Gouta looks awkward wearing them, I would have him wear Jordan High Tops, since I can draw them AND I like them.

Modified Bear - Acrylic on foam
Did this in about an hour or so. This is probably my favorite Radiohead graphic and I think what a lot of people see as the "official" graphic (even though it was really only used during the Kid A/Amnesiac time period). I was debating between this and the Amnesiac Cryer/Amnesiac Minotaur, which I may do at a later time. I'm also considering Meeting People is Easy.

Ebola, the texture in that piece is actually quite great. Texturering in traditional art is something I always fail at because I'm sort of afraid to make random storkes and things like that. Anyways, rather cool.

Aaaaaand: I suck so bad at digital art. But hey, it's a first try. Oh and yeah, this is ment to be princess Zelda. From Zelda1, I guess. Though I'm not happy with her design or the style at all. I was actually planning to "render" this piece but I think I need to redesign the whole thing. At least, it was some practice.
Edit: And yes, the shading was slammed down without much thinking because the whole thing was rather halfassed. :/ I think I can do better, I just need to find something I feel like drawing. Or should I stick with traditional art? But beeing too lazy to actually learn digital art is no excuse, right? Sigh..

That's not bad at all. It's cartoony looking, but that's not so bad. Old styled Zelda? Anyway, it's a good looking drawing!

@Sheik: It's not half bad. There's a few things that look a little...strange, but the drawing itself is pretty appealing. Don't beat yourself up so much.

[Sheik]

Well, this is my level of drawing with traditional mediums like the pencil. Actually, that's from last year, I improoved since than. (Also, sorry crappy photo way to big for my scanner.) Compared to my skills in traditional art my digital art sucks, which is kind of de-motivating. Anyways, I have a thing for art, thus I will be able to push myself to improove my digital art. Still I wish I was just as good (or bad, depends on the viewer) with the graphic tablet as with the pencil.
Edit: But thanks of course. It's nice to hear that you at least don't dislike it

A little something I recently drew up since Pokemon White has taken over most of my free time. This picture contains one of my Original Characters, Hitomi Miyaka, making her own statement that underused Pokemon need more attention.

So stop using your gosh-darn Dragons already.

A Ninetales, Furret, Gradevoir, Glacieon, Lilligant and Emolga party; the perfect thing to pit my Articuno, Mewtwo, Empoleon, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina Feraligatr, Ampharos, Sceptile, Blaziken, Altaria and Togekiss party against .

With the artwork, I feel that you were off with the perspective a bit, partictuarly with Glacieon. You should take the Pokemon sizes in account, Glacieon isn't supposed to be that small while I don't think that Furret is supposed to be that big compaired with the others (and it is the Pokedex's fault that It only measures Furret's length). I say that you are going for the Naive style with this work.

...I would post a few pieces of my artwork here; but Lemon is not a fan of animorphism, and that I don't have them actually scanned in at the moment.

[Moonbread]

So? Don't give a crap about what Lemon thinks on the subject, just because he started the thread doesn't mean he rules it with an iron fist. BECAUSE I DO err I mean it's for everyone. Scan 'em and post 'em if you want to, and anyone who says you can't has to get through me first, as long as it isn't a site staff member

@Twilight Prince: It's okay. I mean, I can definitely recognize everything, although a lot of it seems... cheesy? Maybe it's just that terrible one-liner off to the side. I can definitely relate on the whole "using the Pokemon no one else uses." Because if you don't use Dewgong or Ariados, well f*** you too! </joke> But seriously. Although this is the art thread, I definitely understand the lament of everyone who uses the same damn pokemon in every game.

I don't dislike animorphism. I dislike animorphism that's sexy animal people. If it's to emphasis a certain character trait of whoever you're drawing, like a clever fox or something, it's all good. If you just felt like drawing a elephant man, it's all good. If you're drawing sexy teen dog people, than I'm going to raise an eyebrow. Or if you're drawing them like that for the special way you can draw expressions (like lackadaisy or whatever it's called), that's cool too. Sexy animal people make me cringe though.

That said, it's just like, my opinion. Post what you want. Though don't be surprised if I come by and give my opinion on it

Burn it Down
It's been another one of those days, so I broke out the prismas again. Yes, I realize that the hand holding the bottle is effed up. Sorry. Let's just say I was in the same boat as this guy when it got drawn.

Dragon
I don't recall ever posting this one up here, and scouring 63 pages seems a little overkill.

[AgentLym]

Well, since Pokemon White and Black just came out, I figure some Pokemon art is in order.
Deino
Let me know what you guys think! The edges are a little messy, but that's just because I was too lazy tired last night to fix it. ^^;

@ Sheik91
What!? You definitely don't suck (talking about your Zelda digital art). I like it lots-- it's style, though simplistic, is quite charming. With some soft edges and shading, it could look near professional!

@ Fausch
I really like your dragon art-- looks like an awesome story could be inspired from it.

[Lemon]

^Dawww. Did you do that with a tablet? Looks swell, though a bit rough on a few edges. Simply needs a bit of tidying up.

Also, while messy backgrounds can be beautiful in their simplicity, you should still try to retain the general shape and texture of it. Just keep in mind the rocky wall sin the background while slapping and sloppin' around.
