Princess Serenity

Bara_no_Hanayome (Sep 11, 2003)

My first submission to this board, and also my first "oekaki". I've never really messed with PaintChat or the like, and the last time I fiddled with "mouse art" was in my 11th grade Business Com. class. Ah, the downtime in there was fun. We messed around with M$Paint on Win95 during downtime.

-Ahem- Anyways, like I said, this is a realative first for me. And I've suddenly decided that I need a tablet, because if I continue to do this with a mouse then it would be more like masochism than art. That being said, I'm still rather pleased with the results. I didn't do anything fancy--just messed with the tools and colors, one layer. Princess Serenity from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. Anytime I test out a new medium, I use the BSSM characters and draw them in my style to do it. And...this is the newest result in the newest media. My RL media style doesn't really translate to this very well, so I'll have to create another one to use on this board. I like a challenge.

You know, sometimes masochism is art, and art is masochism. I won't comment on your choice of subject for the piece, but welcome to the fine world of digital art.

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST SAILOR MOON, METHOD3?!!!!! Sheez.... I've liked the manga and the TV show since they first appeared in the U.S., though I've only ever gotten to read the first 4 comics, and only been able to see the first three or four seasons of it. I really like your interpretation, Bara_no_Hanayome, and I wish you the best of luck in getting a good tablet.

well obviously he doesn't, and I don't blame him. There's not enough sex in that show.

Scarlett Garnettia!

Merulotte (Sep 10, 2003)

I had some free time, although it is now 2:30 AM here, I still had spare time. Anyhow, she is the one who invented Cyren, as well as MANY other useful inventions on the planet of Cerulia. She's also a friend of almost all the other characters. Now, I thought I'd draw it here in Beginner, as I didn't want to repetitively post in the Intermediate. ^_^
Comments are welcome!

You made up this story/these characters?

P.S. She's got uber weird hair.

Merulotte (Sep 11, 2003)

Uh huh. I did.
P.S. She likes to have unique hairstyles.

marcello (Sep 11, 2003)

can't be a great inventor if she's so concerned about appearance ;)

Harmanye (Sep 11, 2003)

Perhaps she invented a way to make them grow like that? o_O Well, just a thought ^^;

Anyway, loving the shiny shading and the background, and teh hair is cool anyway ^_^ Very nice indeed *Smile*

this is a pretty boring way to draw them, then. If there are indeed so many ways to draw them.

deadbodydisco (Sep 9, 2003)

Looking for a collab partner...

mkkmypet (Sep 8, 2003)

Same as last one, I'll color if you do lineart. Hakkai or VisceralVamp, you two can do excellent lineart, so if you would like to memo me or reply to this topic.

Afro Sukeban Rage

ponpoko (Sep 7, 2003)

This is Afro Sukeban. She is mad because she can't get any dates with cute boys. She will now break their kneecaps.
Actually, I just wanted to try out Lascaux and get myself used to it... but I think I'm a ShiPainter guy through and through. I just love the watercolor tool too much.

marcello (Sep 8, 2003)

ponpoko: lascaux has the 'water color' tool as well, it's called "Blend." Watercolor isn't really an accurate description for what it's doing.

ponpoko (Sep 8, 2003)

Actually, I did use the blend tool, but it was somehow... not as subtle as the Shi-Painter watercolor tool. Or maybe I just used the wrong kind of settings. But it was definitely a bit different from what I'm used to. Otherwise, it's a great applet.

marcello (Sep 8, 2003)

To get it like shi-painter, use the blend tool with the smooth airbrush brush type (bottom left one), and turn the flow down to 25% or so. Tweak the flow and opacity until you get it how you like it.

O_o that is so wierd I could die of laughter lol lol

For Gothic otaku

TGgold (Sep 7, 2003)

Alrighty. This is something for Gothic Otaku. I noticed they had some problems with facial proportions, so i hope this wil help. You said you had it styleized, so i tried to stick with some styleized props for you. I hope that this helps.

Merulotte (Sep 8, 2003)

Eh, that is true, isn't it... Hm. I should have thought of something better...
Oh, right. A two handed gun and a one handed gun... Both with the same power... One just makes it somewhat easier (compared to quicker tablet). Yes. >_>
I'd think it's easier to color with a mouse. Or it would be for me... But then again, I've never used a tablet...

method3 (Sep 8, 2003)

let me be the first to say that this drawing is a horrible example of anatomical proportions, i can't even clearly read what's been scribbled around the head. what exactly are we supposed to be getting from this? if you want to learn about proportions, please find a better place to learn about them.

secondly, i use a mouse. i blame everything on it, and i don't have to justify why i hate it because everyone has a different style, you can't just slam people for one reason or another about what they do or don't like to use. so suck it.

Knockoff (Sep 8, 2003)

hahah method,Yes I can hardly read it, Type it mabby next time. *cough*

Merulotte (Sep 8, 2003)

Eee. There comes to a time where 'revenge' is pointless and worn out. Sigh.
