Not Anime

Caddris (Sep 16, 2005)

This is for all of those who have been saying that there's been too much anime lately. ;P
The cross hacthing is really hard to do with a mouse. o__O Can someone tell me what using a tablet is like? I've heard so many different things about it ranging from they are the greatest things in the world to they're not any better than a mouse.

Oh yeah. Ref. "Drawing the Living Figure" by Joseph Sheppard.

Definately not anime... I wish I could do something like this my problem is I have neither mouse nor tablet and must resort to the stupid clumsy finger pad on my laptop... This is so good and I can't wait until its finished, but I am puzzled by how it can get better than this...

Seklyan (Sep 19, 2005)

oh completely excellent.

*sigh* I wish I could create artistic things like this. Actually, I think a lot of people complain about anime not because they don't like the drawing style of a person, but because they often create completely non-artistic and unoriginal drawings, like hyper cartoon females with a title like "some girl" or "random". Good artists might draw something like this occasionally, but doing it to excess irritates some people. Though to tell you the truth, I find anime art to be an uber spiffy style. But that's probably because my drawing style is based off anime *shrivels into a ball terribleness* D= I feel like one of those non-artistic and unoriginal people now....

Oh, on a side note, I so want to try out a tablet (anything would be better than the mouse I have).

Caddris (Sep 19, 2005)

Heh, I draw anime-esque characters a lot too, so please, don't shrivel into a ball of terribleness. Anime is just a way of simplifying features and a lot of its appeal comes from the crisp lines and coloring. It takes skill to find the one perfect placement for the one perfect line. Sort of like Hemingway for artists. XD I would oppose with my whole being anyone who argues that anime is non-artistic.

Cryogeneics

Started a research about it and it's very interesting...preserving a body by freezing and later reviving it (which can happen in near future). heh inspired me to draw this eventhough it didn't come out the way I wanted it.

Caddris (Sep 18, 2005)

Yeah. The human body has an expiration date though. After a certain amount of time in cryostasis there's no hope in bringing the person back to a normal functional state. The freezing process is hard on tissues. If the person is frozen too slowly ice crystals form and damage cell walls . . . sort of like freezer burn for organs. ^__^
Cool picture though. I like the green glass and the peaceful, sleeping look on his face.

Desolate (Sep 19, 2005)

yep... Caddris is right... After that whole freezing thing happens and you thaw out the body it turns to mush. There are only 2 things frozen in such a way at the moment. The maker of a company (Alcor Foundation) that does it for $120,000 has frozen the owner/founders brother and his dog... Check out Penn & Tellers Buller$#!+ on HBO or buy it on dvd to watch the episode called Death Inc. where this is mentioned... or not... Still a great pic, great use of color.

3 months?

Desolate (Sep 19, 2005)

Well don't regret it because it is a rather refreshing piece from what you normally see. I like it and hope to be able to do something as good as this one day.

Caddris (Sep 20, 2005)

I really like the lips and chin.

DireOnion (Sep 20, 2005)

One day I might figure out how to draw proper ears or maybe even some hair. who knows!

thanks green

thanks pop

Desolate (Sep 19, 2005)

Yes, finally something not anime. I have no problem with anime it's just everyone keeps doing it and it gets repetitive. Anyway... Great pic. Yeah, Smooth out the colors and you'll be able to be on the intermediate board in no time.

Kohna (Sep 18, 2005)

srry. ^-^; i just didnt feel good at the time. ^-^; anyways, opinions please! ^_0;

Desolate (Sep 19, 2005)

I like the character, colors and background but lately I've noticed all these dark words (Forgotten, bloody, cut, broken, et cetera) are all becoming rather cliche. I purpose changing it or using some diffrent wordage. A thesaurus can be a persons best friend (www.dictionary.com has one, great site to go to especially for homework/essays and what not.) Again, the background is fantastic and the character is great... Keep up the good work!!!

hehehe... he knocked it over.... i think....

GreenEye (Sep 19, 2005)

no, he thought the pole on the grouond was really, REALLY big, so he jumped it as tho it was really, REALLY big... one of the pony's at my riding school does that... it's scary at the time, but halarious after... ;)

Desolate (Sep 19, 2005)

The Background and the Horse is fantastic. Really a superb use of color and shading. You should have continued with it and added more but I know how that can be sometimes... You don't want to over do it...

marini135 (Oct 7, 2005)

OH i get it! he jumped and thinks thbe pole is his p....

I'm not sure if I should do some more of the larger empty spaced boxes 'cause I was thinking about doing something behind patterned background.
