Thanks! This is just from an image that I randomly got in my head and scrambled to draw before losing it. As for Cid's airship... do you mean the Highwind or the Tiny Bronco? I can't remember what either looked like well enough to see too much of a resemblence, but it's been quite a while.

Gigandas (Nov 15, 2004)

The Highwind.You don't remember the huge painting of the woman on the side of the airship?Looked just like what you've got going on here.Eh....guess not :P.....

Knockoff (Nov 24, 2004)

Very cool, Zack. The color chioce is very nice.

Purplekitsune (Nov 30, 2004)

WHAT! aqua teen hunger force is ending!?!!? no wonder he's upset, i just hope you're joking

Aubrey (Aug 5, 2004)

Poor Mr. Johnson.. he put up a good fight against the insectoid aliens but there were just.. too.. many.

This is very imaginative Zack and really well drawn. Looks just like a comic.

kejoco (Aug 5, 2004)

You should have kept "johnson" on his helmet.
That way when someone meets him they know to stay the hell away cause he's f*ked for sure!

Gigandas (Aug 16, 2004)

Heh, for a sec I was with KO.Looked like the creator of this machine made a VHS or DVD recording of someone (or himself) pissed so they could put it into this robot's VHS/DVD player while it shot at stuff and so it can scare away the enemy.Nice machine gun though.Btw, you let me down man, you said you'd have your first robot animation by the time I got home and now you're gone???Psshhh.....well, just IM me when you get back :P....

Layers Tutorial

Zack (Aug 3, 2004)

How layers work.
- Layers can be thought of as clear sheets of plastic that you draw or paint on. Each layer is independent of the other, and their order can be changed.
- The main use for layers is being able to paint behind something without changing it. This is essential for coloring lineart, but is also useful for seperating the foreground, midground, and background.
- Layers can also be useful for transparency. For example, if your drawing had a ghost in it, you could have the ghost on its own layer and set it to half opacity. (Opacity is the opposite of transparency.) This is also useful for lighting effects.
- Keep in mind, however, that more layers usually means bigger file size.

Adding layers.
In Oekeki-Shi, each drawing starts out with a default of three layers. Usually that is all you need, but if you need to add a layer, click the Menu button in the layers window. Lascaux starts with just one layer. To add layers in Lascaux, simply click the button under the word Edit on the left.

Changing layer order.
After selecting the layer you want to move, drag it in the direction you want to move it.

Hiding/showing layers.
To hide or show a layer in Oekeki-Shi, click on the circle to the right of its name in the layer window. To hide or show a layer in Lascaux, click on the V to the left of its name in the layer list.

Thanks, Zack. This is very helpful.

davincipoppalag (Aug 4, 2004)

ILoveKenshin (Aug 4, 2004)

This was a good idea. ^^ So many people don't know how to use layers, and it definately helps. Great hand! I wish I could draw hands... TT-TT

Knockoff (Aug 4, 2004)

Oh wow! I really like this for some reason. I love your shading. The different sizes in lineart makes it look awesome. Nice stuff.

Lineart Tutorial

Zack (Aug 3, 2004)

People have been asking, so here it is.
Be sure to read the revision comments for detailed information.
Click through the revisions to see the steps of the process. It may also help to watch the animation.

To summarize: Zoom, layers, and patience are essential for good lineart.

For an example of how this looks in Lascaux, check the difference between revisions 7 and 9 on my pic Robot No. 3. It may help to zoom in to see the difference, and look at his hands in particular.

Actually, I love Math, and his brother Logic. They are good friends of mine.

Once, my little brother left an extra-credit math puzzle in my car. It showed a large square made of smaller squares, each of which was a different size. It gave you only the size of the square in the middle and asked if it was possible to get the size of the whole thing (the proportions were intentionally distorted a little so that you couldn't use a ruler). I showed it to a friend who had already graduated and was teaching high school math, and he said it wasn't possible. But I persisted that it was, and figured it out a few weeks later.

I'm flattered that this reminds anyone of Icat's work. It was just a doodle before I went to bed. Maybe soon I'll do a "for real" sky.

staci (Jul 18, 2004)

whatchoo talkin bout willis?
this is a very 'for real' sky...
the tree has great form and detail; in my opinion it couldnt get any better, even if you spent 3 hours on it
its very painterly and quickies are the best sometimes

LEELEE (Jul 18, 2004)

I love this!

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jul 18, 2004)

I love this. I still like to lie lay on my back (whatever) in the grass or on the beach or wherever and look at the clouds. My daughter and I think this looks like you are in the mountains and looking up at the clouds. I have no idea where Dino got math out of that, but I hate math. Strange thing is I always like ppl who are good at it, though. Wonderful picture.
