Some digital arts of Shinu.

[Shinureal]

Hello guys!




It's Shinu. Well, you won't find much PS related arts here, sorry :( but I just wanted to show some of my stuff here, so maybe someone can find them useful, I don't know :/


First I'll start with the PS related stuff, but again those are still on going projects.

Here I had the idea of painting all my characters in the PS games,
So, from left: Yuri M. ( support partner in PSO3), Shinu Karasu (PSO2), Yuri (PSP2), Kula (PSO):


Sketch:

Last progression:

Ah and certainly most of art guys here know about it, I'm making a PSO2 related collaborative drawing, you'll find the thread in this fan work section.

Lobby background:

**********************************************


There's some other PS related stuff but still premature, just some sketches, I'll upload them when they are ready, yeah my sketches are kinda lazy :)


****************************



Guess that's all for today, I'll upload some other (PS non related :( ) drawings/paintings later, but before I go I'll leave this:

[SPOILER-BOX]
Old ruins and old creature

[/SPOILER-BOX]



*****************************************

Till next time!

[qoxolg]

You used quite a fancy painting technique on that last one. I would love to see more of that! :D

And Sayara and me always post our non PS related stuff here anyway. Else it would become quite a death place here.

[Shinureal]

Thanks, I was influenced by studio Ghibly style when I drew that one :)


Ok here comes some other stuff, (if it helps keep this art section alive :D) :

AHHH just forgot, this one is PSO2 related :D I made it for Zorafim as an art trade:
[SPOILER-BOX]

Levia relaxing at the coast area

http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/levia_13.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

And a little joke drawing, let's see who's gonna get it :D

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/kidnap10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]


Oki last posting before leaving, there's still a lot of ( no Ps related :( ) paintings :)

[SPOILER-BOX]

The wanderer

*******************************



Take care dudes!!

[Shinureal]

Alright guys, here's some drawings before I go to sleep. I have an exam tomorrow and I haven't checked a book yet :/ bad bad student!

[SPOILER-BOX]
Tenshi no tamago

One funny fact about this painting:
when I've finished it and uploaded it to different sites,
I checked for it in Google, then I discovered a great anime
movie with the same name :D, awesome!!!

http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/tenshi11.jpg

[/SPOILER-BOX]


Another painting:

[SPOILER-BOX]

Forest of Accessia
http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/forest12.jpg
[/SPOILER-BOX]

Ok guess that's all for tonight, I'm off :)

[VANNO]

God you are so good with landscape. I am sooooo jealous. Landscape are my utter weakness (or more like when I get to it I just get super lazy). There is one thing I wanted to point out however. In your Levi image. I thought her fin was her right arm LMAO and that she had no hand....

[Shinureal]

Thanks,
But don't worry, Landscapes aren't that hart, at least when you get the trick to do them, I wasn't like this just a year ago. Here's what I do: I never start painting the whole landscape, first I train myself till I get satisfied with elements like grass, clouds, buildings etc. like this:

Grass training:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/green_10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Clouds training:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/clouds10.png[/SPOILER-BOX]

Buildings training:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/old_bu10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Just after enough practice with every element I start painting the whole thing. And it's normal to get lazy, I've never finished a landscape in one shot, it takes time :)



There is one thing I wanted to point out however. In your Levi image. I thought her fin was her right arm LMAO and that she had no hand....

And yeah I noticed that too :) it looks like she doesn't have a right arm, just a fin. But at second sight you notice that her arm is hiding behind her.

[Shinureal]

Hello guys!

It's me again. Just uploading some painting in this late night, well, didn't have better to do :)

The further this thread goes and the uploaded stuff becomes older, yeah I started with the recent arts :)

[SPOILER-BOX]

Hyperia, the lost world:

[SPOILER-BOX]

Alright this one is a joke I made with a friend:

http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/sdddff10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]


Guess I'll call it a night, thanks for the visit :)

[Shinureal]

Hello guys!

Guess I'll put something weird here, since this thread looks a bit too normal.
It's about a dream I had :) and that I wanted to draw, before I totally forget about it.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/33333310.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]



I don't know about you guys, but I'm always having weird dreams, so weird that I have to draw, or to write them somewhere.

[Shinureal]

Hi there!

Just to keep this thread alive, latest art I'm working in:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/ddd10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

Lookin nice there! quite a lot of layer your use. I always try to keep at least the painting in a single layer for a more coherent picture. I use layers mostly for FX.

[Shinureal]

Thanks,
Really? I usually use more than those; the more the coloring is complicated, the more layers I use. I don't know, I feel more comfortable when I put everything in its layer :)
But I like to see how you paint, do you have a tuto or a speed paint on YT?

[qoxolg]

Here is one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkicP1tHFh8&sns=em

[Shinureal]

Wow! all this in one layer!! pretty strong.

[qoxolg]

Well, not 'all'. I only separate the character from the background, because that works a bit faster. The whole painting of the background and foreground is done in a single layer. Once I start with the FX I start adding lots of layers, but that's only for the last 1 hour of making the artwork. The most part I want to paint with as few layers as possible. They only distract and slow down.

[Shinureal]

Well, just the background in one layer is out of my league :) I'm used to multiple layers now.
And btw, I like your color degradation technic, it's the opposite of mine, I'm gotta try it and see if I can use it in the futur :D

[Shinureal]

Work in progression: Matoi for the Feb 2014 Jam on PSA.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/workig10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]


But unfortunatly, I don't think I'll finish it in time, because RIGHT NOW my desktop just died on me and I'm used to work on it on the huge TV, just can't draw on the small screen of the laptop :/

[Zorafim]

You just have to get it done before voting starts. That's not necessarily at the end of the month.

[Sayara]

A shame cuz im curious as to what you would have done with Matoi and my styles :V

[qoxolg]

Well, just the background in one layer is out of my league :) I'm used to multiple layers now.
And btw, I like your color degradation technic, it's the opposite of mine, I'm gotta try it and see if I can use it in the futur :D

Well, begin with trying to focus more on the big picture, instead of the details. Remember that in the end, most people will look at your picture from 'far away'. Paintings work in a same way, in that they are mostly viewed form a distance. Thats why you can get away with rough brushstrokes. I always try to keep that in my paintings to give them a refined like from a distance, yet there is this nice and rough edge.

To me whats most important in a picture is mood, balance of color and a balance of composition. A nice flow in every shape and color. Soft shapes and low contrast for a more relaxed mood and high contrast and sharp shapes for a more aggressive mood. The actual subject and details are more a secondary thing.

I always grab the full intention of the artwork in the very first dirty sketch I make. The rest is just filling in the gaps.

You'll get there as well if you can let go of some of the layers, one at a time :)

[Shinureal]

You just have to get it done before voting starts. That's not necessarily at the end of the month.

Well, I hope that damn thing got fixed soon. Did I mention that I mostly play PSO2 on it too? :(


A shame cuz im curious as to what you would have done with Matoi and my styles :V

TBH, me too :D, my strategy was like: first let's start with a simple drawing, once finished, let's figure out how to "sayara-ize" it.


You'll get there as well if you can let go of some of the layers, one at a time :)

Well, trying with a different approach isn't bad at all, it adds to the experience :) Next Jam gotta be Q style lol.

[Shinureal]

Alright a quick upload just to give you guys an idea of what I cn do traditionally:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/the_sk10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

Nice!

MY traditional stuff always looks crappy. I am used to a much to chaotic way of working digitally, which will result in a mess when working traditionally. Most of them are in my scraps on DA, but these days I don;t even bother to upload them.

Here are my best ones I think:
http://q-arts.deviantart.com/art/Rockbear-SMASH-303271337
http://q-arts.deviantart.com/art/Space-dealer-345703613

Also has to do with the fact that I love color and pencils and color don't go hand in hand with me.

[Shinureal]

Nice traditional work man!
Me too I switched to digital due to my lack of experience with colors, I even bought pincils and color bottles and never opponed them, now they are catching dust since 2 years :)

[Zorafim]

I really like that last picture, Shin. Gritty and stylized, but still clear. I think stuff like this is what you do best.

[Sacrificial]

nice pencil drawings owo

[Shinureal]

Thanks guy! That was a sketch that I made for a digtal version later, but due to my laziness and to the lot of work it requires, I just gave it up :/

[Shinureal]

Did I mention that I do some manga?

Here the first 2 pages of the last project:

Page 1:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/111.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Page 2:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/211.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

The rest is in German, gotta translate it first.

PS: I have the weird feeling that I already posted this somewhere....

[strikerhunter]

Finally got around to looking at your artwork Shin and Dam you're good. Keep up the great work! ^^

[Shinureal]

Thanks, glad you like them :)

[Shinureal]

Alright time for some fresh drawing, just finished Matoi andnow I have to put the whole drawing into Sayara style and I have no idea how :)

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/motoi11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Now I have some eyes to shut, it's alread 2 hours past midnight and I have university tomorrow morning :o

[Zorafim]

I think you would have been better off doing Sayara's style from the ground up. The best way to describe his style would be substance in the absence of form. I don't think you can just modify what you have to get that. You need to start with something, and just go with it without bothering to give it shape.
At least, that was the mindset I had with my piece.

Oh, and I totally did not see that manga until right now. I want more.

[Sayara]

In their defense, the set of 3 or so arts i did was me modifying their original works as well. so
We'll see.

[Shinureal]

Hmmm @Zora that's exactly what I was about to do from the start, I just did art lines and basecolors, then I suddently wanted to continue it my style and then reverse it into the Sayara one, since, like he said, did the same to some of our drawings. :) And I like the idea of comparing both of them. Now gotta do some reseaeches (which literary means stalking Sayara on DA)...Mwahahahah “ψ(｀∇´)ψ

[Shinureal]

Alright I gave it my best, hope I'm a little closer to the Sayara style :D


[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/motoi_10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Combined drawings:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/shinu_10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Sayara]

I see we decided on a more gorery repersentation for my works and less of the patterny sheanagins. It is a good adventure as it seems. I expect a fantastic name for its "remix"

[Zorafim]

I think the combined version fits better.

[strikerhunter]

Am I'm the only one laughing seeing that head there? (Both are good but too much color for me on combine version)

[Shinureal]

@Sayara, it was a pain in the neck to mimic your style, that's all what came to my mind. :(

@Zora, yeah, I find it kinda...weird and interesting. :)

@strikerhunter, the head is a censorship lol...And it explains a lot, otherwise someone would think she's having a periode :p

[Zorafim]

@Zora, yeah, I find it kinda...weird and interesting. :)

Now you're getting it.

[Shinureal]

Yeah weird and interesting, couldn't find any better discription.
Let's the Sayarism be with you :)

[Shinureal]

Just a sketch :)

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/night_10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

Lovely sketch! I especially love that hyper realistic pen you sketched.

[Shinureal]

Thanks, and yeah, the whole sketch was to show that sketched pen, I'm proud of my self :D

[Shinureal]

Another (probably) scene of the lastest manga project:


[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/why_ar10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]


Don't mind the Japanese wrong writing :)

[Sayara]

Alright time for some fresh drawing, just finished Matoi andnow I have to put the whole drawing into Sayara style and I have no idea how :)

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/motoi11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Now I have some eyes to shut, it's alread 2 hours past midnight and I have university tomorrow morning :o

Expecting for me to only morbidize work and call it my style?
Too bad
It's Sayara-chan!

[Shinureal]

Oh man you are good at Sayara-izing!! hey wait you are Sayara!! :D

Sorry dude the only references that cought my eyes were you bloody paintings, or maybe I just had a grudge against Matoi :p

Edit: I like the clauds :)

[Shinureal]

Goo news guys!!!! bought another desktop and now I'm using my sweet huge TV.
More arts coming soon.

[Shinureal]

Do you guys like some pixel arts?

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/rosali10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

This is a true story, I like to draw real life events like this, like a scene from an old video game. The story here is about those two bad guys trying to steal something from my car because I left the door window half open, the problem is they didn't realize that I and my friend were sitting nearby. I was making my phone camera ready for a funny video but the guys weren't brave enough and gave up their plan...what a waste :(

[qoxolg]

ahaha.. yeah awesome! keep them coming! :D

[Shinureal]

I'm glad you like it :)
I'll try.

[Shinureal]

Hello!

Here something I just made for a competition a friend launched on FB, the theme was about nature, but I couldn't resist the temptation of adding some human made structures:

[SPOILER-BOX]
The wanderer reaches Hyperia, the lost world

http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/the_wa10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

Love the look of it! I think it would be awesome if you did some characters in the style of that background! :D

[Shinureal]

Thank you :)
What do you mean? putting some characters in the bgd, or drawing them in a painting style, like this bgd?

[qoxolg]

Drawing in the painting style of the background.

[Shinureal]

I wish I could, but I'm still enslaved to those bad art lines when it comes to drawing characters :( but I'll try it someday :D

I made some slight modifications:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/the_wa11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Bragatyr]

Very nice stuff. You know, on the subject of the backgrounds and the line art, I really like your line work. It's smooth, clear, and your characters are expressive, never easy things to do. I know a lot of people are more into coloring and the digital side of things, but I always really appreciate a nice, classic sense of form.

Of course, I'm partially color blind, so I'm probably biased!

[Shinureal]

Thank you! I'm glad you like my works.
I'm using the digital only for colors, because I suck at painting tradition, I even haven't tried it yet :D, but for other drawings like sketching and mangas, I'm more comfortable with the traditional way.

[Bragatyr]

That's awesome, I'm always glad to see traditional line work. Digital coloring is very beautiful, but for the figures themselves I usually think it looks more natural to have hand-drawn art. That's actually a pretty good mix, I think. I'm actually the same way with painting, I've only ever tried it once or twice, but if you ever get into it you should definitely post it here, I would love to see it. I recently tried out oil pastels and really liked them.

[Shinureal]

Last year I bought some pencils, brushes, A3 painting papers and lot of water color bottles, I put them in an empty unused room so I can start working on traditional painting...Since that day they are still catching dust there :) but if I someday start using them, I'll make sure to post the works, even if they suck, which is obvious :D

PS: your comments remembered me of what Hiroya Oku (author of the manga Gantz) said; he makes all his cities, cars, buildings, machines... digitally, but he always draws the characters traditionally to give them a warm and living look.

[Shinureal]

Double post because it's my thread :D

Alright just edited and translated page 3 and 4 of that manga I've uploaded earlier:

Der Traum page 3:

PS: excuse my English :(

[Shinureal]

Hello! double post no because I can but cuz I have something new.

Here I just added another character to the collaboration drawing:

[Shinureal]

LOL he is a cyborg, his cyber brain is connected to the net :), who needs a phone when you are a cyborg :D

[Shinureal]

Double post pecause it's my thread :D

Just testing the grey technic, I'm usally using the traditional way of shading; with color palet and stuff:

Ohhhh I really loving the suit.

[Shinureal]

Thanks!
It was just a test, maybe I'll correct it and put more details when I'm bored :)

[Shinureal]

Hi there!
My entry for this month's PSO jam:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/prince10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Zorafim]

...ffffuuuuuu...

[qoxolg]

SWEET! Amazing artwork Shin! :D also that Mag looks awesome! Let SEGA make it!

IIRC this is the first submission this month! Not much time is left guys! I am almost done with my example for next month, though I barely make it because I am not at home this weekend.

[Shinureal]

Thanks dude, even tho the background isn't finished :(
and yeah SEGA should buy that mag design from me :D

Hmmm that's bad, I don't wanna win per default!
Same here I won't be home this weekend, like every weekend, and I'm not taking the tablet with me.

[Shinureal]

Because I'm bored and I don't have anything better to upload, I'm uploading this painting I'm working in.
I really don't have any idea about the background, I'm just testing stuff and adding random rocks, relics, roots.....I hate it!!

I want to give it that mystic atmospher of a clear night lightned by some huge moon...But I see that I'm missing the point.

Any suggestions guys? I'm kinda lost here...

Here the unfinished thing:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/new_ca10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Sacrificial]

not that im an expert or anything but maybe something darkish blue like you have on the tree for the background and ruin stones?

[Shinureal]

Hmmm gonna try it, hope it won't hide the soft light mood that I'm trying to catch. Thanks! :)

[Sacrificial]

well if you google moonlight you can see only the center under the moons placement is well lit.

[Shinureal]

Yep sure, but here we have a close up scene in which the moon isn't showed and work just as a great soft light source. Or at least that's what I have in mind :(

[Shinureal]

Finished, but not satisfied with the atmospher.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/lights11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Zorafim]

I've generally noticed that the songs I'm least satisfied with when I'm done are the ones that come out the best. I think it looks pretty great. I do understand you when you say something's missing (red, maybe?), but it's still really impressive to look at.

[Shinureal]

Thanks dude! we'll never become satisfied of our arts, otherwise we won't be able to evolve.
Hmm red? I don't know. But like I told sacrificial before, I was aiming for a mystic nightly atmospher softly lightned by a huge moon.

[Sayara]

You sold yourself short on the water reflections. Its too sharp a contrast between the ethereal of the girl and scenery vs the quick work of the water.

[Shinureal]

Hmmm guess that water needs more work, I'll try refining it to match the rest of the painting. Thanks for the feedback!

[Shinureal]

Just some sucked textures practice after a tutorial I saw on YT:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/new_ca11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Edit:

Alright! I'm not a big fan of textures. First reason, because I'm not a concept or a 3D artist, secondly is that I made a policy to not use textures till I'm able to paint the same effects, textures, surfaces and stuff by hand, and I'm not that far yet.

So me using textures this time war just to give it a try after watching a Youtube tutorial, and I wanted to check too if it was really that easy, but it wasn't; even if textures can help you make 90% of your painting, it still requires a certain level of experience.

And yeah I sucked here :); textures win't make the painting for you!

A modified version:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/worm_a10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Shinureal]

This was as a training in using textures.
But I guess I should stop using them, they kill the painting talents.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/city_i11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Zorafim]

God I fucking love sand worms.

[Shinureal]

Lol Zora, and what about fish?

[qoxolg]

For textures to truly work you need a painting skill of a matte painter to make them completely blend in your artwork. Textures are shortcut many concept artists use, because in their case only the idea counts, not the artwork itself.

I suggest you learn to paint details yourself first. Best way to approach detail in a painting is learning to paint the big picture first. Details are most of the time unnecessary or distracting and are usually achieved by tricks and illusions.

[Shinureal]

Sure, since I'm not into concept arts I'll just stop using textures. I'm more of a traditional painter and it's the final piece of art that counts for me, not the idea or the amount of time.
So I'll go back to my beloved, time onsuming paintings :)

Yeah you're fully right; the most hard and stressful step is the big picture and the approach.

[Sayara]

God I fucking love sand worms.

[spoiler-box]http://i.minus.com/jrFVmd4eytTzQ.jpg[/spoiler-box]
?

[Zorafim]

Lol Zora, and what about fish?

I can like them both. Sand worms are simply the sea serpents of land.
We call them land sea serpents.



[spoiler-box]http://i.minus.com/jrFVmd4eytTzQ.jpg[/spoiler-box]
?

As cute as this is, I don't get it.

[Sayara]

Fishin for Zoras
with worm bait

Hahaha like the saying; a picture is worth 1000 words, or something like that.

[Shinureal]

Hello good people!

This is a "cyborg-ished'' version of Lisa:

[Shinureal]

Hi there!

Just a quick testing of some new brushes I made on SAI, ugly forest :D

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/12310.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Maybe I'll make a real painting later.

[qoxolg]

Nice forest! Would be a perfect background for a side scroller :D

[Shinureal]

Thanks!
Yeah it has that 2D scrolling feel, maybe it'll suite something like this:

A 2D game I was working on the last summer, but paused it because I'm working something more important now.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/ptm_th11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Zorafim]

That forest does look, how should I say... cartoony? Not as smooth as some of your other stuff. Doesn't look bad, and it's enjoyable to look at. But I see what you mean.
Those are some bananigans that guy is getting into!

[Shinureal]

Thanks Zora, like I said, it was just to test some brushes I made on SAI, I made the whole thing in less than 30 min. Now I'm working on something else, forest related ofc :) And I guess, due to some summer projects, I'll be more into cartoonish stuff.

And lol, now I remember that that ape's nose creeped you on DA :D.

[Zorafim]

Freaking, having to stare at that dribble of snot for hours on end while I imagined that setting...

[Shinureal]

Lol I know :D

Hello everyone!
Here's page 5 and 6 of the Manga I'm working in (yep, again, it's not PSO related :( ).
Originally, the Manga is in German, so I'm translating it. Hope my English is good enough :/

[Shinureal]

Just sketching something quick at class (yeah on a textbook) for this month's JAM:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/45/51/27/imag1110.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Hope I'l get time to make a digital painting before this month ends.

[qoxolg]

Don't stress the Jam entries to much! It's okay to enter something rough :D also doesn't have to be digital.

[Shinureal]

Wll, all I can do traditionally is black and white stuff, I suck at coloring :) that's why I go digital when I need to make something with colors. I need to get rid of some homeworks first, then I'm free for some painting.

[Shinureal]

In progress:

[Shinureal]

Hi there!
Haven't uploaded anything lately, not because of my laziness, which was always the case [Edit: Fall (German)= case (English)] before, but because of the lack of time.
So, here's something I'm working on right now. And sorry, it's not PS related.


[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/okoko10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

looks great! Red head.. hmmmmmm...

[Shinureal]

Thanks :)
Yeah, red hairs...reminds me of someone....

[Shinureal]

Hi there!
This is not my original concept, I copied this: http://6kart.deviantart.com/art/desert-408804169

Well since I'm still learning, I'm not ashamed of copying...Hey but I gave credits lol

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/desert10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Ah and the other one is done too:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/the_fa10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[VANNO]

Ulg man. You always inspire me to color my things. Haha. Keep up the good work man. Don't worry too much about copying. It's actually a great way to learn a certain style. Plus all good artist use references. XD

[Shinureal]

Thanks, I'm glad my arts can offer some help. And, yeah, let's keep learning!

[Jared_T]

As I mentioned in my thread I thought your pixie picture turn out very well. As with all your work you tell a story in your pictures, and I find this one to be quite humorous. Plus I find the lighting to be a very nice touch. If I were to have any criticism I'd say you need to work on your feet a bit more, but on the other than that very well done.

[Shinureal]

Thanks for the critic, I try working more on my "legs" :D
And yeah, most of mypaintings are related to a story.

[Shinureal]

Hi there!

Just a remake I made quickly, since I don't have any time for painting lately. Yeah it's summer vocation but I'm already working on some personal projects.
Anyway, here's something to keep my thread updated:

New version:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/hyperi10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

And the old one:

[qoxolg]

Nice improvement! :D

[Shinureal]

Thanks you Sir!

[Shinureal]

Hi there and sorry for the lack of acivities, still busy with work.

Here's something I just quickly made tonight for this month's JAM, it's still rough partially because of the deadline and mostly because of my laziness, I even used Q's piece as base...Shame on me!

Anyway, here's the stuff:

The Q imbush:
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/q_imbu10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]



Edit:

Another painting; a remake of an old 2012 piece, the old one is posted in the first pages of this thread.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/meet_l10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

oi oi oi! what are you guys doing! Watch out cap'n Q! Watch out!

Awesome work! if Q is in it, it's always good in my book! :D


That remake looks awesome too! Especially the background!

[Shinureal]

Thanks, glad you like it.
50% of the background is still original, and there's a perspective issue :p
well, I'll fix them later.

[Shinureal]

Laziness level 9000
Just took an old painting and made it into the PSO2 universe :)


[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/desert11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Shinureal]

Work in progress, not PSO related :/

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/cyborg11.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Zorafim]

Close enough to.

[Shinureal]

Once it's finished, maybe I'll convert it to something PSO related, like I did with the other painting.

[Shinureal]

Alright it's done!

I'll see if I can convert to something PSO related :)

[qoxolg]

Great job on shading the girl!

[Shinureal]

Thanks man!

[BIG OLAF]

That's really cool. Nice concept and execution. obviously, the detachable arms is very cool.

I think you could have dirtied her face and tattered her clothes a bit, though, to keep with the busted-up aesthetic you had going on with the background.

[Sacrificial]

Well the easiest way to make it pso related is to replace the dress with a stringkini. .........…Uh I mean maybe an Este-counter stylish background?

[Shinureal]

I think you could have dirtied her face and tattered her clothes a bit, though, to keep with the busted-up aesthetic you had going on with the background.

Sure, it's a cool tip, gotta do it, since there's more things to fix, like the arm in the box, it's actually not her missing one, which it should be :/

I'm gonna try it, if time permits.

Thanks guys for the awesome tips!!

[Shinureal]

Hello everyone!

Long time not seen, I'm getting lazy lately; and again, here's something not PS related :/, but anyway, let's keep this thread alive :)

I'm open to all kind of ideas to remake this into something PS-ish. Even tho it's still a WIP.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/untitl12.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Shinureal]

Hi there!

This is actually the sketch for my supposed entry for the 14 July JAM (I guess, it was summer time anyway), but again, laziness and business stroke...

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/15/45/51/27/imag0210.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Shinureal]

Some progression on the last painting, corrected some golden ratio and perspective issues, but there's still some details to add.

Can't wait to see this finished! :D Thanks for doing this!

[Shinureal]

You welcome, I hope I'm doing this right.
Please correct me if something catches your intention.

Edit:

Because backgrounds are the big bosses for me, I usually abandon them for a while and start working on other stuff to break the stress, like the character here.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i74.servimg.com/u/f74/15/45/51/27/q10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Dat grass, dem clouds, those orbs of light, the flora; aw yeah.

[Shinureal]

Qoxolg, those freckles are the selling point :D
Yoshiblue, thanks!

Why I haven't commented on this thread for over half-a-year? Shame on me because all of your recent works and everything else just looks friggin awesome.

Nah don't say that, I'm glad you like my works. And I'm the one at fault due to laziness and lack of activities lately. ;)

Ah~ Like your artwork so much. Your understanding of colors makes me so envious. Always one of those artist anticipate for the most. Keep up the fantastic work Shinureal!

[Shinureal]

Thanks Vanno! I'm really glad that you like my works.

Haha don't worry, you'll laugh at me if I show you a painting from 2 or 3 years :), it will come with the time and you won't notice it because you'll be busy looking for more, just keep practicing.

[Shinureal]

Hi guys!

It's no biggie but I just felt like sharing this :)

Do you have dreams? of course you do!!! and how about weird ones? again, of course, we all do have some. But do you guys draw them? I don't know, but I do it a lot. And here's a funny one:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i59.servimg.com/u/f59/15/45/51/27/anothe10.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[qoxolg]

Seems perfectly legit! I never remember my dreams good enough to actually draw them.

[Shinureal]

Indeed :) yeah they are hard to remember, but I'm very interested in dreams and made some studies and practice, that's why I'm able to remember some of them, if they are clear enough. Some of the stories I'm writing started in my dreams :D, here's one if you are intereted, not finished yet:

http://shinureal.deviantart.com/gallery/47548013/Der-Traum-English

I still have some other dreams I drew, I'll post them later if you guys are intereted.

[Shinureal]

I know this isn't PSO related, even worst, it's about another game, but like always, let's strive keeping my thread alive.

For some reason that character reminds me of Angel Beats and Wendy from Fairy Tail.

[Shinureal]

Thanks a lot!
To be honnest, this isn't my own character design, I just made some modification to the simple sketch I was given by the person I'm doing this for. Maybe he's influenced by them.

You shouldn't paint a background in a one go if you get quickly bored, it was the same for me at first, it's not about concentration, but tricks. Now it takes me 2 go(s) to finish a backgroud.

[Zorafim]

Is that the title screen for one of your games? It certainly looks like something out of Final Fantasy. Or rather, Phantasy Star. I think PSIV started off with a shot like this.

I've always loved works like this. The way it shows off a landscape, and shows a person's travel though it. It makes the viewer feel like part of the journey as well.

[Shinureal]

I'm glad you like it.

No it's not a game, but rather a story, I usually make paintings from the stories I write or the mangas I'm drawing. Or, when the painting isn't related to one of them, I just add a character and a title for the sake of the story telling.

Probably to the elf ruins. :wacko:

Shinu as always amazing painting work, seriously your digital painting skills surprise me everytime! Very stunning and beautiful works and always those rocking bright colours. I was especially intrigued by that dragon picture, hopefully the poor person didn't get roasted... Anyway can't wait to see the elf ruins finished!

Pretty background. I wonder where it leads?
Like Kazuuya said, maybe to the core of the ruins.

@Kazuuya, thanks a lot. Don't worry about the woman; she became friend with the dragon. It wasn't my story tho, since it's a work I did for a book:

Da~yum. Do you still need a song for this game?

[Shinureal]

Da~yum. Do you still need a song for this game?

The game development is on stand by for now, I did some art trades and got some songs, but the dude was only good with orchestral music, those kind of songs that you can only use for endings and credit screens :D. So, yeah, I still need a song for the actual gameplay, a rythmed modern song with some beat :)

[Shinureal]

Let's hope for an Evangelion collab!

Hm... I'm not going to say I can do it, considering I can't even regularly update my story. But I would like to. I even had a song in mind a few months back that would have fit.

We all still have that weak spot, look at me doing my first Rei fan art at that age :D

And no rush, the game dev is in stand by right now.

Thanks for the like!
I have no idea, my fan art just came out of the blue. are you seeing too much eva arts lately?

Nah. Was just a bunch of stuff i've seen splurged out along with some Back of the Future references earlier in the year. Because future.

I've noticed that when you used to draw gowns, they tended to be sleeveless. Have you gotten more comfortable drawing them since then, or is it just a preference thing?

Try to render it more paintsy. Use suggestion, instead of rendering details no ones is gonna look at. Putting to much detail in something that is not the main subject (the characters in this case), might even distract of what you want the viewer to focus on.

Yeah of course, the background and the details on the walls are my main "selling" point here, especially the pillars. The characters are just there to give it a kind of story/life.

I should stop with the art lines, they'll be useless once I start painting.


And done:

For backgrounds I agree. Line work for backgrounds is just time wasting, because you can probably paint it much faster anyway.

Absolutly, but I'm still doing them as some kind of trainiing, because I'm still doing traditional work too, espcially manga, and I need to keep my hands trained.

I think I once attempted to make a PSO manga/comic, but I just couldn't do all the labor back then. Maybe with my current skill level I'd do better.

I think with my new iPad, working traditionally is gonna take a backseat for a long long time. I only drew traditionally when I was away from home (can't get trough a day without drawing anything heh...), but now I can do it digitally, which has some benefits (mostly being able to paint it).

I guess I already saw some pages, or at least a page from you PSO comic.

I mostly use the digital support for painting and editing (I suck at traditional colouring), when it's comes to manga/comics, I like them being drawn traditionally, I feel like they are more organic that way. And besides, I work faster with a real pen/pensil.

And wow, you draw every day?! lucky you! for me, there are even weeks without arting, especially when I got too much work.

Thanks! I really like to post some steps of a piece's progress.

[Shinureal]

While working on the two last pieces, I discovered that I still suck at perspective, so here's my resolution for 2006 in an artistic direction:

1- I'll focus on perspective by making a lot of drawings like the one here.
2- I'll start working on subjects that aren't really my domain, nature, especially water and vegetation.


Here I was trying to get some dynamic view, but I'm missing a lot, anyway, I'll stop here and try painting this later:

[qoxolg]

Awesome!

You already seem to understand plenty about perspective, or at least it looks like it. Do you understand how to make grids and how to pick your field of vision? A wider FoV can help make the piece more dynamic, because it creates bigger differences between big and small.

I am more focusing on making my art more dynamic, and making bigger differences in scale, helps a lot. Also lots of foreshortening can help. Also diagonal horizons work. Different ground plane levels can work as well.

I have a general understanding of each perspective subject. Yeah I make my grids manually, since I'm not using PS and I understand how to use the most of basic perspective lines and v.points. And yeah, the Fov is kinda blocked by the buildings on the left here. But I plan to study it in details in order to get that dynamic perspective and that depth effect you mentionned. I already downloaded some video tutorials and gonna give it a go.
Foreshortening is important too, since I see it as a king of a visible perspective line in the piece.
I'll try studying all those and give them some practice :)
