...but sometimes I'm pretty happy with what I do.

Sure, I skimped out on the hair detail, the face is a little lumpy, and the shading isn't great - but I rarely draw in a more realistic style, so I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

I'm pretty sure you don't have any room to be talking about artistic skills, Sir Samus.

that was a great thread and i took requests and delivered in a day or less. i took artistic license and it wasnt spose to be serious at all and they arnt real people. so i have no regrets .

Who actually thought it was a great thread?

Anyway, the cheek is a little bulgy there Outrider, but you pointed that out I think. The face seems a little super happy, for some reason. Otherwise, I do like it.

Outrider- Not bad, I like it!
Why not make a thread in the art section?

Do you just not have enough time to make a lot of art?


Also, Troppical- What the fuck?

I second that, keep up the good work.

Don't be afraid to mark your lines stronger. Even if they're wrong; you'll look more confident drawing them

I used to try and get in some drawing whenever I had a chance.

I even considered doing a minor in Art while in school. (That didn't pan out, though I did run the university paper's comic section for about a year.)

Nowadays I just don't have much time. The sketch I posted is from about two weeks ago. Aside from that and some other sketches I did that night, I haven't done anything since September/October of last year when I did a comic for some friends' wedding reminders.

Before that it was months since I had done anything.

I miss it. I'll find time to do it more regularly again.

But anyway, to stop rambling and actually answer one of your questions:

Fanworks is dead to me. (Not really, but I don't think I need to let them all know about my silly little sketch.)

i still dont like it. i still think it looks like wood. thats just my opinion but i respect you for posting it. but still.

I guess if you don't want to, it's okay, but I love looking at others artwork!
I get inspired by it all when I see such great work.
I'm always looking at Sayara, qoxolg, Amai, Ami, and many others art.

I need to make more time to draw, I love doing it! (And I still suck at it)

SirTopps
May 24, 2010, 11:56 PM
also pat. you shouldnt swear.

Sayara

Theres no need to follow me, I never draw anyway.

at least your drawings are good. just a bit perverted. but thats fine.

Ooh, nicely done. I'd say you're pretty skilled. Well, okay, I'd say you're very skilled, but I like to sound like I know what I'm talking about.

If Mayra liked it, that's all that matters.

She did, actually.

Which meant quite a lot, as she used to be a pretty awesome artist back in the day.

Sayara

You never stop being an awesome artist i say!

Outrider! You should continue your adventures in drawing! I wanna see MOAR

Outrider
May 25, 2010, 12:47 AM

I agree. It's something she has trouble with now, but I'm sure if she keeps at it it'll become natural again.


Outrider! You should continue your adventures in drawing! I wanna see MOAR

I don't want to disappoint, but I have a distinct lack of both a scanner as well as any sort of image editing software on my current computer, so I don't know how soon I could contribute again. (But regardless, I should get myself regularly doodling in a sketchbook. I'll do my best.)

If anything, you can show us MOAR, though. Right?

Sayara
May 25, 2010, 12:49 AM
I could! but, my stuff hasn't been too clean as of late.
or... i guess allowed here at this rate either :wacko: my co-worker wants me to draw her daughters though. I'll probably post that if i work on it.

Write off a new tablet as a "business expense," necessary in the line of new workload drafting easier concept designs and such.

But
Then everyone in the office will want one too, hmm.

also pat. you shouldnt swear.

It's part of my daily life though, it'll be kinda hard to stop.
I just don't swear in front of my mom or girlfriend or sisters.
It's just weird.

You draw sometimes. More than me, I'd say.

Outrider, there's free software for computers too.
I grew fond of Paint Tool SAI. It's a nice, program, and it's not Photoshop.
I love Photoshop, but my computer cant handle that anymore. :/

SAI does almost everything (other than effects/photo editing) just like photoshop.

What the fuck keeps happening to these threads?

That aside, it lookes pretty good there, Outrider. I don't think it looks like wood in the slightest.

Note to self: Post art in FKL from now on.


Outrider! I never took you as an artistic type, this is such a suprise! I like it alot, it's not often that I see realism. Good job :)

That HUmar in the avatar, he drew that too.

;o

As well he was situated inbetween FO@Artz/navci/Sagasu~/other KoopSuu~ back in the day.

Known on a 1st name basis they all were. And when Outrider came back his sig was some WIP comic back in the day snippet - with no link. But it was the artsy fartsy all the same.

Looks really good. I wish that my drawings were realistic, but most of them are just quick sketches that I use before Mr. Illustrator takes over.
