Hi, um… I’m randomly drawing characters… So how’s my attempt to colour in Photoshop?..

Here’s my picture of Genin Djinn Yun. ( GET IT DJINN !, hahaha !, my friend thought of it, he is teh funny ) Hope 4Neqs likes it.

^ LOL!..

I messed up his right arm… :smiley: :smiley:

you mean his left arm. looks like he just punched himself in the jaw there haha. Looks great though man. Your style is unique. The purple you used for the shadows is a nice touch. I think you could have used a bit more of that for the cast shadow from his hat.

Well, I screwed up both arms… :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry I haven’t posted in so long. I’ve been really busy, and was out of town for a week too. You guys are kickin ass!

woof: Goddamn, man! That is insanely good!

VSlash: Genei Djinn, haha, I love it. I love the design of the drawing too.

Here’s my Twelve:

I guess I never posted my Yun or second ryu here either, so here they are:

Wow! All you guys are so talented! I know he isn’t in the contest yet, but has anyone drawn Dudley by any chance? I’d love to see some of your guys take on him.

Glad to see this thread picking up pace again.:smile:

Here’s my Twelve in a wtf pose.

Golden_Gunman, check for Dudley in 2 weeks time.:bgrin:

Needs more practice… sigh

CHAINWHORE: Wow!.. Very lively Yun and Twelve!.. Great job on the creases on Yun’s clothes!.. :thumbs up: Please tell me you did these in Photoshop!..

MR. TWELVE: Haha!.. You totally captured it with just a few strokes!.. :lovin: That style’s for keeps!..

I wish I can speed paint…

Here’s my Ibuki… It took me hours (it’s just to practice painting in PS), but still not quite there yet… :frowning: Hope I made some progress though…

Very nice Ibuki Chainwhore! If you are still practising on PS then what more when you have mastered that beast of a program, The result will be amazing!!

Well here is my Twelve rendition.

Ive just realised that the muscle on his left arm is wrong! Oh well, i cant be bothered to change it.

there’s a whole lotta hot stuff being posted, keep it up guys!

Vega-X: nice job man. dramatic lighting!

Star: cute pics, see you when you get back man.

Deon: Nice relaxed pose. 2 nitpicks – (1) head is too big for the rest of his body; (2) perspective on his cap is off. The cap should not extend Yun’s head by much, and should not be able to see so much of the top of his cap.

VSlash: very nice 2nd Ryu pic & Genei-Djinn rocks my world :slight_smile: Is that done in Illustrator?

woof: great job, you’ve captured his pose very nicely and colours are very nicely done. His right upper arm seems too long though.

sniper: sweet Yun pic!

jz_chu: nice natural pose… it’ll be great when it’s finished! :slight_smile: only nitpick is that his back could be a bit more curved seems he seems to be bending slightly forward. Watch the perspective on his feet too.

Seba: hot stuff on your Elena, Yun & Ibuki pics! love your colours too…

here’s my 12 pic

plus the sketch for my old Ryu pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v404/perched/ryu-sketch.jpg

any suggestions on what kind of brush I should use in PS if I want to get nice blended strokes? I’m trying to expand beyond my feathery style of colouring.

seba_boi: Wow, your stuff is really great especially your Ibuki. The colours look so nice and delicate. Greatness.

Mr.Twelve: I really like your minimalist approach for this challenge, just shows how versatile you are as an artist.

rook: Really great colouring rook, i’m not an expert when it comes to brushes in PS - i always use the basic round ones. But I always lower the opacity if i want a smoother look, not too much otherwise you’ll be painting forever, maybe between 25 and 35%. Other than that, custom brushes - which i’ve never been able to understand. Hope that helps.

Phew you guys’re on FIRE in this challenge! :wow:, MG!

I’m soooo ready to do a Twelve now.

Lotsa, nice-ass stuff everyone.

Here’s my Twelve,

That’s wiiiicked deranged - But while I suspect it was a change that was to reflect your own style, his head isn’t exactly shaped right.

Deranged Zombie: That looks awesome, It reminds me of Kamen Rider and Ultraman.

Rook: Nice textures !

SniperSight: Those colors look sweet! Very clean looking and organic.

Mr. Twelve: That looks nice, Twelve waiting to spring on to his prey.

Seba_boi: Wow nice angle, very kinetic !


Sorry my Yun will be very late, I’m putting it up at the end of the challenge. I got a little too ambitious with it and ruined it with COFFEE while I was inking !!! (grrrrr. :mad: Damn you table !! )

Anyway, I’m going straight to Twelve so I don’t deviate further from the schedule, here’s a Work-in-Progress:

http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/647/sltwelvewip5ak.jpg

I’m getting the hang of painting finally. I thought it would be really perfect if I did digital painting for Twelve (since he’s easy to colour compared to others plus the whole theme of being “modern” with Twelve and digital painting, I figured it was a perfect match)

Basically at the end of 3S, Twelve IIRC (I’m not sure because the local arcade here has Jap machines) becomes self-aware and I thought it would be a great scene when he steps out and sees all these other synthetic Twelves inside incubation tubes (or Ones, Twos, etc?) around him and what could he be possibly be thinking.

Problems so far: I need to learn how to paint elements like glass and water (for the incubation tube) and reflection. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my Ibuki.

I kinda copied Seba boi’s holding the throwing knives between the finger thing. It just looks so much cooler that way!
