Drawing block x_X

no, not a pad of art paper but a mental block with regards to inspiration & execution. I like bad puns.

been too busy of late, no time to draw at all :frowning:
and when I do get the time to draw, I don’t know what to draw. I end up drawing M.Bison all the time… it’s a lil’ disturbing.

I need to get out of this rut… so I’m asking you guys for things / topics / characters to draw. Preferably keep it SF related so I don’t have to do that much research :slight_smile:

cheers!

How about something with Gambit [x-men] in it? Something with lots of energy and light in it would be cool.

Btw, I’ve always enjoyed your art.

what kind of Character do you wish to draw? Wrestler? ninja?
SF? maybe drawing the less “jiggy” characters such as CODY ,Rolento, Maki or T-Hawk? D-Jay? Sf3 Makoto?Final Fight Characters are pretty cool…

what scenario do you want them In a battle scene? or just standin around- maybe an action shot of some sort, or even a cross over- Prisoner Cody vs "snk’s "CHANG from Korea or something - i guess thats kinda :lame:Instead of the regular Ken/Ryu’s/chunli’s matchups Runite SFA3Cody and Guy in their latest versions taking on an opponent like SF3Hugo or something…anyways- just throwing around ideas man-…peace dude.

GUNSTAR-

How about Twelve XCOPYing a Jojo character?

hurm…

I got it! Jigglypuff.

I think that pirate chick from mvc2 would be cool in your style. Draw her that would be cool.

Ibuki “taunting” Hugo while right infront of her Zangief comes in for the kill.

Best thing I could think of in an instant.

damn braindigger, you’re taking over the forum man.

Anyways rook, I like you to try where I have failed.

Yakuza yang going down the stairs real fast.

I know, it’s been the same on F.net. When I don’t get replies through mail I simply have to check the site myself and so I go thread after thread and reply them all. I’m a VERY talkative person.

All for the sake of art.

“Taking over”… I like the way you put it… :evil:

relizes he is smiling just like the smily

EDIT: OK, seriously, people should post more. Why do I have to sit here infront of my computer, flooding the forums with my name at 3:38 and I don’t find it totally diffrent the morning (or afternoon) that comes after that?

ok, things to do so far…

ytwojay - Gambit (“something with lots of light and energy”)
Gunstar - SFA Cody & SFA Guy vs SF3 Hugo (at least, I think that’s what you wanted)
[SFMC - Jigglypuff, Ruby Heart
DFist - Yakuza Yang “going down stairs real fast”

MrTwelve:
heh, I know you’re a JoJo fan and all, but I don’t really want to do a lot of research on them just to do this pic… could you narrow down to which JoJo character? :slight_smile:

Brain Digger:
could you clarify what you mean by “Ibuki ‘taunting’ Hugo while right infront of her Zangief comes in for the kill” - who is Zangief going after? Hugo? Ibuki? Is Ibuki leap-frogging over Hugo’s head (her taunt) to distract him while Zangief closes in? Just to clarify.

thanks everyone for the ideas… will be responding in this thread.

humm… How about Hibiki?

Yeah, Ruby opening one of her treasure chests to find Jigglypuff instead would be funny.

or pehaps Sean vs. Lucky Glauber (KOF)?

rook!
i still would like ot see your randition of slayer playing cards or shopping with the wifie. i rember u said u would “do it later” and now i come ot collect =)
hows life though sounds like ur busy? will u show up for evo?

ytwojay, here’s the Gambit pic. I haven’t read an X-Men comic since X-Men 11 (when Jim Lee left for Image) so pardon me if his look is outdated.

EDIT: btw I’m not satisfied with the base art OR the colouring… but it’s the best I can crank out in my curent state of suckage >:P

pencilwork/scribblework for Gambit attached.

queue:
Gunstar - SFA Cody & SFA Guy vs SF3 Hugo (at least, I think that’s what you wanted)
SFMC - Jigglypuff, Ruby Heart
DFist - Yakuza Yang "going down stairs real fast"
Hiten - Hibiki
Zamuel - Sean vs Lucky
shadowcharlie - Slayer playing cards / shopping with Sharon

thx guys… and no, I won’t be at EVO. It’s too far from where I live (ie; Singapore) :slight_smile:

whoa nice gambit rook!!

are u taking requests :stuck_out_tongue:

i would love to see some rival school stuff from u, i cant wait to get the comics

I ment Ibuki leapfrogging (donkeying as we call it where I live, because it’s like jumping on top of a donkey) Hugo while Zangief is coming right infront of her to give her some serious lariet or atomic buster. I love those “everybody loses” fights. Or should I say those “anything can happen” shots.

Oh, and if you go for it, make sure Hugo ends up crouching VERY low, like in the game.

Wow Rook I was actually semi-joking but if you insist maybe you can try do the main character Jotaro.:smiley:

And it’s ok if you don’t wanna do it. I understand the pressure of trying to fullfill someone’s request then you don’t feel like drawing the requested character because of your busy schedule n artist block and then you regret saying “yes” to that guy and hope that he magically forgets your promised agreement then in the end you just quickly draw the character just for the sake of ending the guilt and the pic comes out so dull and uninspired then you feel like shit.

Osaka kicking some serious ass. I mean to the point where you just look at her and say “Damn, that bitch is serious.”

:lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL… naw, I’m actually looking forward to this because I’m a bit tired of thinking what to draw. the dull and uninspired look is what’s worrying me because ALL my pics are coming out like that anyway. hopefully it’s just rust that’ll shake iff with practice.

but I’ll keep your advice in mind, it’s actually very sound. thx

Chibi
Osaka as in Azumanga’s Osaka? that would be interesting, but might not do this one… I’d have to learn how to draw Osaka and then figure out how to draw her kicking the crap out of someone… plus it’s just weird since Azumanga is this wholesome thing.

we’ll see… no promises on this one :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

so… updated queue:
Gunstar - SFA Cody & SFA Guy vs SF3 Hugo (at least, I think that’s what you wanted)
Twelve - Twel(e)ve XCOPYing Jotaro
SFMC - Jigglypuff, Ruby Heart
DFist - Yakuza Yang "going down stairs real fast"
Brain Digger - Ibuki leapfrog over Hugo, only to get clobbered by Zangief.
Hiten - Hibiki
Zamuel - Sean vs Lucky
shadowcharlie - Slayer playing cards / shopping with Sharon
hitshiro - something RS related
Chibi - “Osaka kicking some serious ass” (maybe/maybe not)

You should edit the first post and change the topic to “rook is taking requests” because damn, that’s a long list.
