August artwork

[Vaporeon Lugia Krabby]

Funny thing, I usually post my artwork after accumulating it for a month, resulting in these silly 10 to 30 pictures that are like my month's quota. I think I've successfully have like enough to add to about that much, but only one of them is Pokemon related... I promise I'll draw a couple more Pokemon!

Pokemon:
Oekaki Mew: Done on BMG's oekaki. Kind of done to make it a manga style with an airbrush look...

Critters:
Download Dragmon: I don't do enough grid artwork, and doing a Digimon of mine in this style is so suiting. Too much gel pen though.
In Heat: The two forms of my other style. The pretty multi colors is actually a Moltres... sort of. It was more or less the inspiration. The gold blob is a person. I'll just blame my scanner since it didn't scan the veins that are everywhere.
Digivolve!: My 5 Digimon, Digivolving. Done with acrylic paints.
Mewblade using Steel Wing: Now, this was inspired from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle-Soarin' Over The Space (Cosmic Wall) and an RPG I stuck Mewblade in... She probably can't use the attack but I just like the composition.

People:
Vampire characters: Inspired by yet another RPG, Vampire:The Masquerade (which is now competing to replace my Pokemon obsession! *Wails*). My friend's character is the guy in black, named Max. The one with the gun is mine, name's Braid from the Brujah clan. (And more mumbo-jumbo...) Anyway, go ink and Chartpak markers!
Toy: Uh... more V:TM... I tried acrylics on stretched canvas, didn't turn out so good. The vampire girl is nicknamed 'Toy' because she's sort of crazy and likes to act like a doll, and destroys her own dolls and... Well, crazy vampires, crazy people, same thing. *Sweatdrop*
Asian ascension: Inspired by nothing better than my dress (gosh, first dress I've had in ages, and it's a knocker). Fabric rendered really well, I'm shocked by it actually, but actual line art, not so well.

No more pictures for now. As always, criticism is appreciated, comments are too.

YeaH! First to reply

Mew: It's interesting to see something in black and white. It's expression looks like a shy asking Mew. It reminds me of something, but I can't remember...I like how it's eyes catch the light. It's face looks a bit to round beneath and maybe the background could have been a little darker to add some more contrast

Download Dragmon: I like how you made the download effect. What I paticuairly like about this one is how the grid style, together with the blackbackground causes shades to appear and to give the picture a realistc threedimensional look (if you can call a digivolving digimon realistic ) It's right frontpaw seems to be in s trange angle, it seems like it can moe it's bones sideways. I have to say you really improved on this grid style

In heat The picture seems to be some kind of abstract to me, well not totally since it still means something, but you can totaly see what as well, although I see what it means after you told it, seems a bit expresionistic to me, essecially because of all those colors. The person seems strange, like it's fallen on it's knees in a strange angle, but considering the strangeness of he picture it could fit as well. I love the head of the Moltresthing, it really looks like a real Moltres and the huge amount of colors fits this picture nice

Digivolve!: It it something like the one in the middle can evolve in all those different forms? It's a cutie :kawaii: I totaaly like the first one, it's pose's nice well colored and I like the shading. Still, if the beams from beneath it give of some kind of light, should't the part of it's wings/tail be shaded light as well? Now it looks dark and doesn't seem to recive any light at all. A general remark of these picture is that some parts seem to be a bit to dark. Imlove dark pictures, beut especially the one at the rigtbottom seems to be to dark to recognize something at some parts, the left bottom one on contrary looks almost perfect for the light dark effects. The one at the right top faces the problem of being somewhat to ak as well, but the red makes uo for it. Bisides, I think the light comes from behind it. Interesting choose to let the light come from. Not much to remark for the thing in the middle (exept thta's cute) It look's okay, because it's so light, the somewhat dark shading fit's nice and I like it's eyes and mouth

Mewblade using Steel Wing: I like Mewblade with wings. This is a picture full of contrasts, since the wings loo realy angelic, but they are coved with blood, and loking at her expresion, I wouldn't call Mewblade an angel as well. The sjading on the wings looks really great, the wings look smooth. The background has something hitting as well.

Vampire characters When you were talking about vampires, this wasn't what I aspected. Add ten points for the stunning effect I essecially like your firends character, he really looks like something mysterious. Is he wearing leather? It seems the way by the ripples and shading. I like the way you colored his sword

Toy: Another totally different piece. Her dress seems a bit strange at the bottum, like a tuft of wind's lifting it a bit. Her hair looks really nice, but you can barely separate it from the dark background

Asian ascension: I can't remember how ong it's ago I wore a dress. After all those dark pictures, this light one seems really different. I think it should ripple a bit more, considering the position the girl turned herself into . Nice, rthose soft colors and shading and the same goes for the background. But the girls hair seems like she putted too much gell in it

JIGGLYSAMA used C & C!

Mew: It looks nice! The grayish coloring looks neat as well as the originality of the Mew.

Download Dragmon: Kinda weird, maybe because I have never seen something like that. 100 points for the style used.

In heat: See the last comment above but 895749 times more complicated.

I'll comment the others later, as my Internet connection is giving me troubles to watch them.


Is not very effective...

Well, here we go:

Mew: I already commented this one in the oekaki board, so I'll just say it is incredibly cute. It's good to see some art in greyscale. ^_^

Download Dragmon: The pose looks a bit weird to me but I like the concept of the picture. I like the grids on the Digimon.

In heat: It's not exactly a style of art I like but I have to admit you did an original representation of Moltres.

Digivolve!: One of my favorites. It's nice to see an artist that explores all kinds of media. The Digimon in the lower right corner is hard to see due to the darkness of the picture. The one on the lower left reminds me of houndoom. ^_^ If I'm not mistaken, Dragmon is the one on the upper left, right? It looks adorable giving us that wink. Love the colors on it. The other in the upper right looks amazing, the combination of colors makes it stand out really well and the little digimon on the center is simply adorable. By the way, what are their names? Overall, it is a great picture with a nice composition. Gives you the feeling that you're watching the animé. ^_^

Mewblade using Steel Wing: I like the pose and Mewblade's expression. The blood in its wings makes a good contrast and the background is nice as well. However, the pokémon is too dark and hard to determine, but maybe that's my monitor.

Vampire characters: hmmmm this is a little different from your other pieces, they look more americanized instead of the animé style you've been using on your other art. Nice use of markers, the effect on your friend's character jacket is good. He reminds me of someone, but I don't know who. ^_^ Your character's chin looks a little off, but the poses are good. Maybe you should have added some more contrast to the blade to give a more metallic feeling. At least you draw weapons way better than me, especially the gun.

Toy: I agree with Flare-Espeon on this one, you can barely see her hair in that dark background. I think what F-E thinks is the wind lifting up her dress it's a bow on the girl's back. The pose is nice. Her left eye looks really weird to me, I don't know if it is a matter of proportions or if you made it a little closed. The little blood spot on her finger gives me the creeps. ^^;

Asian ascencion: Definately my favorite. The pose is a little weird but the colors are beautiful and the details on her dress are well done. Maybe a few more folds on it would have been better, but it is really nice as it is now.

Gosh, I love you people!

Flare-Espeon: It's some sort of bad habit of mine to make my Mew's look like gerbils. Honestly, Mews look more closely related to rodents than cats, or so I think, and that would explain about every proportional error to every Mew I ever made. I'll keep in mind the contrast issue. I have not been applying it so well lately.
The wrist on Dragmon does bend unnaturally, it was an attempt to fit all of him on the page. Which of course is a bad way to draw.
The form of the person in the "In Heat" picture got warped when I was coloring... *Making a lot of mental notes*
Dang, I should have ordered Serpmon and his evolutions. Serpmon=in-training (center), Dragmon=rookie (top-left), Dragomon=champion (top-right), Ceberusmon=ultimate (bottom-right), Triceberusmon=mega. I know the darkness was a bad idea but I ended up sticking to a progressive color theme which was beige (it was suppose to be white, but it changed color), gold, red, purple, and dark purple. And the ones that got the purple shades were both black... *Sighs* Color disaster of course. I'll remember to not do that.
Umm, yeah... not the traditional vampires, although I could whip out one. Umm, Max is wearing leather in some parts. Gosh, he's a walking fashion disaster! ... sorry, I'm a person who insists that a black trench coat be worn with black denim pants and a black short sleeved shirt. *Sweatdrop*
Toy has a bow. Although the composition again was too dark. On the original it stands out a bit more.
... The knee screams 'mistake' to me but I see what you mean. I guess the way I colored the hair does make it look geled, wasn't my intention. I probably didn't ripple enough of the dress since I was too stupid to consider it. ^^:
Thanks for the comments and the constructive criticism. You had some really good ones.

Jigglysama: At least you tried. The comments are nice, thanks.

Kasumi Chan: The pose on Dragmon is weird, repeat of what I told Flare-Espeon, I shouldn't had tried to crumple the entire form onto the page.
The infra-ray is just bizarre. Either it scares people or they oogle it all day. I don't expect a lot of people here to like it at all.
Serpmon=in-training (center), Dragmon=rookie (top-left), Dragomon=champion (top-right), Ceberusmon=ultimate (bottom-right), Triceberusmon=mega. Pretty basic... I'm sorry for making you poor souls strain to see the shapes. I'll use more contrasty colors next time.
I'm not certain about the "Steel Wing". Mewblade is black, the background that matters is brown... Coin toss on that one because I'm not so sure myself.
Oh my gosh! You mean I actually rendered it okay?! *Cheering* The style was suppose to be americanized, I just didn't know if anyone would notice. I screwed up on the faces somewhat, I know that after showing my friend. I need to work on guy faces more, but need the inscentive to do so.
For the "Toy" picture, proportionally it stinks. So anything that looks weird, is likely wrong. Still blaming my scanner on the darkness, and me for not contrasting. I guess I assumed all the pink was enough contrast...
Pose is weird, kind of reminds me of another picture I did... Backbend.jpg was the file name. I'll add to my list of things to remember, like for clothing. Do me some good to apply it.
Thanks Kasumi for the comments and constructive criticism. Always helps.

*is doing her best to comment well* Sigh. ^^

Oekaki Mew: Awww, she's so sad. But it's so blurry. x_x I LOVE greyscale, though. What's the Japanese say?

Download Dragmon: ..... ... Binary. ^.^ I like the letters. How they're kinda shiny.

In Heat: The person looks... weird. Like he's melting. Moltres, though, is amazing. Better for a fire elemental to have another form than just one bird thing.

Digivolve!: That thing in the middle is adorable. I LOVE the colors of the top right, too. Acrylic paints. Wow. *doesn't know a thing about Digimon* ^^;

Mewblade using Steel Wing So that's what it looks like... pretty frightening attack. I love it, though how I'm going to imagine my sweet Altaria doing that, I don't know. ^^

Vampire characters: Oh man. *suppresses horrible V:TM flashbacks* Max's sword... there's something about it that seems off. But I do like his shiny coat.

Toy: *looks again* That hair really is dark. I keep thinking of Bakura and his dead puppet cards. ^^

Asian Ascension: WOW. That's gorgeous. I really like her hand. Reaching-out poses are hard.
