sweats profusely

honestly there are so many things to say about these that i dont even know where to begin, especially that redraw is astounding, i LOVE all the detail!!! ughhhh your characters are gorgeous and there are just so many things i want to articulate about these pieces bUT I CANT AND IM FRUSTRATED, I SUCK AT TALKING, JUST KNOW THAT THESE ARE ****ING GORGEOUS AND IM STUNNED

sailor moon is my fav anime

click​

not Crystal though. Crystal can eat my macaronis. There's several things about it I don't like but making Kunzite clammy-white with chicken legs is unforgivable enough on its own.

I doodled Uranus and Neptune a couple more times lol might post those later
I don't think I even got to say anything about the background this time.

here's another ice cream, character belongs 2 gnoixaim

This is a semi-complex character but would u guess the hardest thing to draw is the braid

Spoiler: it reminded me i was gonna post the original sketch for the other one before just b/c it was kind of funny

(the one on the left pff) that's how far i got before i was just like

awwwhh beb, thank you :'> and youre not bad youre in a state of constant transformation >:O about palettes... i don't. hahah I just pick colors as I'm going along rip. I always wanted to try one of those palette challenges or something but never seem to get around to it, they're probably easy enough to find if u search on tumblr hmm or is searching disabled now too, i swear that website is getting more broken every time i look at it.
♥ ♥ you have a nice afternoon or whatevr time it is

:') i honestly hope I improve my lines are getting better tho!!!! oh lmao. search isn't disabled, u just can't track tags anymore :/ palette challenges sounds cool, I want to do one but im always putting it off lol
i hope u sleep w no neckpain

 

[Zane]

LOL i did a quick doodle (and i mean really quick) to try doing an amateur blink animation which i've been meaning to try for 1000 years, it's pretty lame but actually not as lame as it could have been, like i feel like i could do a better one later if i tried again. The problem is it has some stray pixel action going on which is a product of the weird thing I use to animate and I've loooong forgotten the solution I came up with to fix it so idk.

edit:
attempt 1

attempt 2

also I got my gst return so I'm gonna buy some nibs soon 8>

so this post isn't so empty here's a preview of something i've been meaning to finish for months w/ no progress


did you guess it was sailor moon related......................

:') i honestly hope I improve my lines are getting better tho!!!! oh lmao. search isn't disabled, u just can't track tags anymore :/ palette challenges sounds cool, I want to do one but im always putting it off lol

ooo awesome, lines are a huge pain on a tablet at first, i still find myself staring at non-shaky linework with such envy :'/ and that sounds annoying, i actually never used the track tags feature but i can see how it was helpful. i still haven't looked for palette challenges rip!!! someday, someday.
and ty me too ;(

aw thank you!! and ahahaha well they still look cool! B) your painted stuff hhhhh<333
loool i dont think i needa mention my relationship w/ backgrounds at this point but I always liked your character drawings even when they just have a solid color background, if you did like a full bg i'd probably die (but like in a good way)

Tried the blinking animation again, with a slightly better drawing this time. Thankfully there's stuff like ezgif while I try to magically remember my trick for getting giftedmotion to work properly. I've so far found that adding a couple more frames makes it a bit smoother hm....

 

[Aradai]

mmm thank god for stabilizers. ya, I never used it either but a lot of people relied on it :'| first replies and now this (or was it the other way around :0) aaaa someday it will be done
praying for u still

 

[piske]

Thank you :> do you mind if I ask how long you have been drawing?

 

[Zane]

i did this chibi today specifically to try doing an animation on the glasses (shining) but i couldn't find the thing i was gonna use as a reference, it actually came out not too bad regardless but i couldn't animate it because i encountered a new problem of not cropping every frame exactly the same way and yes i am very tired of my backwards-ass way of doing everything BUT ANYWAY i kinda like the chibi still so here it is.

edit: ok I found a way to fix it but i changed my mind the animation is bad hahah i needa find that ref or a tutorial p:

also have an oldish pic i found and did a quick color for just 4 fun

no legs because i'm doomed to misjudge how much canvas i want for the rest of eternity.

lastly playing with outfits for lil girl character (2nd one is the standard one atm)

st
stabilizers??
I want SAI *weeps and doesn't use fire-alpaca which probably has stabilizers too*
Aaaa okay replies was the other thing I was thinking of that got trashed, tumlr dot com staff are too laughably bad at this point they must b doing it on purpose
thank u im feeling it!! (no headache this morning ;v;b)

Thank you :> do you mind if I ask how long you have been drawing?

Not at all, anyway I've been drawing practically all my life (which is sort of embarrassing to admit, I always feel like I should be a lot better at this point ahahahah I wish I had more time to practice ;;), although I've only been drawing digitally for the past year or so, so I'm still really noob-y at it. ;/

wait artrage doesn't have stabilizers??? wtf how have you been getting such smooth lines?? that must require a lot of undoing damn.
tumblr staff is getting really bad yikes, how can they ruin their reputation more
also wow that's great!! hope it stays that way

 

[piske]

No no no you are really really good! :> I love that you have a distinctive style! I used to think myself a drawer when I was younger but it was copying "anime style". I also really like the colors you choose. Anyway I'm a fan :> :>

If it does I can't find them. orz It has a "smoothing" option for the pen but idk the correct ratio to give it to make it do stuff other than just warp my lines lol you think my lines are smooth?? (*?∀`*) (i do have to 'undo' a lot, incidentally huehuehue)
it's like i never got all the joke posts about tumlr hating its own members before but im seein it now bruh my dog could program a better website.
two days without a morning headache keep up the good work everyone!!
i hope you have a good day today friend

(ノ∀￣〃) oh man I appreciate that so much, I've been trying to work on my own style but it's slow going - like you I also got into drawing in an anime style when I was young (nothing against anime styles of course, I like them & I got all the respect for people who can draw it) And thank you so much, you really flatter me!! ;-;

 

[The Hidden Owl]

hnngh these are so gooood

you keep getting better ahhh!!

 

[piske]

Ahhh well it is deserved! ;> I'm trying to get back into it...any tips for a noob? (A noob with not a lot of natural-born talent lol ;_;...)

Aw thank you! & It makes me happy to hear that. :')

Ooh that's great! Sadly I don't think I can offer much in the way of tips since I'm still learning a lot of things myself - I do recommend using references for anatomy, especially if you're just starting out or sometimes have a lot of difficulty visualizing what you're trying to draw (like I do @_@) Also don't hesitate to experiment, even if it doesn't turn out you can still gain experience from trying different things. If you're new to digital art… pen control takes a bit of practice hahaha omg I was so frustrated when I first got this tablet.
Oh yeah another important thing is to be patient (something else I have trouble with sigh), drawing is a process and it's tempting to rush through the more tedious parts just to finally get the gratification of seeing the finished thing, but it'll look a lot better if you make yourself focus and put the time in.
Sorry for the slow response!!

ok I mentioned forever-ago that I would try to draw my hunter from MH4 and I finally did, although it's just a bust!



So you can't see the legs, but I'm still wearing the Lagombi pants huehuehue I don't want to give up my lagombi stuff. ;-; The armor is probably about 80% correct since I can't find very clear pics (my tiny 3ds screen doesn't help much). Obviously I had to pick the smug smirking face when I was making my character. Anyway it suits a jackass who wears a hood over his eyes while hunting giant deadly beasts.

I still wanna try a full-body sometime, then I could draw the weapon too (I'm a gun-lancer I've never been anythign else rip) maybe with a monster but I don't know which one. I haven't even seen all the ones in the game… I'm progressing really slowly. lol

& Stress-relief portrait thing of one of the new OCs (still not quite right) that I did a couple days ago



It was just something to try to make myself relax so it's just kinda weird overall, like I put all the color on one layer for some reason idk.

This is just some random stuff while I wait for nibs. (~‾⌣‾)~

 

[piske]

I love your hunter!!! I don't know what that game is though... heh... but thank you!!! Those ARE tips! I am super impatient and I know I will get frustrated when I don't do well, but I will just have to remember that getting better requires practice and TIME. I also am really bad at visualizing things...how they flow and move in real life...I will definitely need refs for that! Thanks for replying :> I appreciate it!!!!!

 

[Shirohibiki]

im such a jerk, i keep falling behind

FIRST I WANNA SAY WOWOWOWOW @ YOUR HUNTER
THE ARMOR IS AMAZING!!! OH MAN I WISH I COULD DO ARMOR LIKE THAT,,,, ahgghghg im so jealous sobs. thats totally spot-on! (i mean ive never played the game so idk what it looks like bUT ITS STILL SPOT-ON) and i love the soft coloring ahhh <3333

your new oc is so cute omg, i love their hair and color scheme *v*

PLEASE STOP BEING GOOD AT DESIGNING OUTFITS IT HURTS MY SOUL... i love her first outfit (the little girl)!!! ugh its so precious

overall, theres too much gorgeous work to comment on and i need to step up my game ):< hnnnghg pls draw more i love it,,,,,,, //waits at ur doorstep
