Adriaan you're just good at everything man

Looks really nice, properly good graphics design.

Just isn't Bauhaus...which I will explain to you on irc sometime.

i forgot to post here to respond to this, just wanted to reiterate what we were all thinking: what an awesome gorgonapsid! maybe him and my classy drome will have tea together one day
*~haha maybe when a meteor shower destroys half of the life on this planet~* .... oh, wait...

(im double posting but im assuming this is alright because its been like over a week..)

i was doodling werewolves WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN this little ♥♥♥♥ came into existence


i am still very much getting used to photoshop and it shows

I like swords and halberds and glaives you autistic ♥♥♥♥.

Not a single one of those is a sword.

Better.

Those are nice looking glaives and axe!

Have a dragon! WIP dragon anyway.



Yes, it's in the flying squrrel style. Drawing regular four limbs is hard.

I plan to add more detail soon, but posting a work in progress is good since it lets you guys see the forward march of progress.

That is a very neat dragon so far! Body structure is excellent, and in general it reminds me a lot of Dragon Commander. Something tells me this is intentional. :v


oh lawd, is dat sum werechulf?

i see your werechulf and give you a hand for your troubles



(and obligatory top hat)

I know i messed up around the knuckle area (also the index finger looks injured), despite taking very direct reference from my own hand. This time though, i didn't trace it. :U

A WERECHULF YES. it took me a minute, ive been calling it a werepika lol.
that hand is fabulous! the things are certainly not easy to draw.

Now with Lucida!

Also slightly tweaked Torrent.

You found a sword!

So, deciding I'd start making graphical renditions of the items from RtD Fantasy started off like a good idea. I decided to start by doing the sword Alaris has. Being the Dragon of Death he's got a very, very powerful weapon.



I spent five hours on that thing. I was just working away, made lots of progress, looked at the clock and three hours had passed. I'm especially pleased with the runes and the one thing I dislike most are the heads on the sides of the crossguard. I had the most fun, though, with the pommel. Considering the backstory Alaris has, I think it adds a lot to the weapon.

The reason it started off like a good idea to do the items is that drawing is basically crack :p

It's a lot of fun to do, though, even though I end up going to bed at strange times, like now, which is half eight in the morning.

matching B&W umbreon/espeon avatars i did for myself and robby for valentine's day (we're using them on another board right now!)
im not incredibly pleased with how they turned out, but he appreciated them so that's what matters!



i also did a paint doodle of these two, i was going to print it out to make into a card but i didnt like it enough for that (plus i realized we dont have our printer set up right now) lol

so anyways, happy valentines day! i hope you all had a good one, even if you spent it alone.

Opf, once again i find myself bewildered as to how it's possible to make such smooth and accurate curves by hand, especially the B/W image. :I

@caekdemon: Yo that's pretty neat, done pixel art style? The runes and other little details look snazzy, although i'll go out on a limb and say that the shading is DANGEROUSLY CLOSE to pillow shading, and the tip of the blade seems a bit funky. Note that in general, shading tends to look better when the light doesn't come directly from the viewer. It's harder, yes, but it looks better. Also, regarding sharpness of the blade, a common trick is to simply made the edge of the blade much brighter than the rest, as well as having a specular reflection where applicable. Of course, i had to try this myself to remind me how it works, so...



Lerp. :U
I am annoyingly rusty at this, probably because it's been a million years since i pixel'd up something for shits and giggles, but hey, turned out reasonably okay.
And while i'm at it, here have some quick things:

A PAINTY CUP

A SKETCHY DINOSAUR THING

A FACE

Notable in that it's one of the extremely few times i've drawn ANYTHING facing the viewer directly. :U
