The VSLASH art thread

painter essentials 2 sucks it has 1/10th of the main programs features

Well I’m gonna have to stick with it.

I neither have the money nor the internet speed to obtain a full version right now. :wasted:

Here is more tablet experimentation. Since I’m bored of drawing anime peeps I decided to draw some of the heroes from my youth.

liking the inked Lust pic. nice use of negative space.

the CCC pic is good. Some suggestions:

  • I think adding a highlight tone to the current colour job might make the pic pop out a bit more.
  • A cast shadow on her torso by her right hand+gun would make that area easier to read.
  • The chain around her right forearm looks a bit messy right now too.

good stuff VSlash.

Thank you rook.

I am bad at inking, the penciled version looked a lot better. I am also a beginner at coloring digitally. In the end I would really want my coloring to look like a combo of the art in MegaMan X and those new MegaMan powered up games. Nice clean bright colors.

All of the chains are messy, I created a character I hate drawing, lol. I was gonna highlight around her like white or something, but i just didn’t feel like doing it, this was mainly done so I could know what her colors would look like together.

I kinda bootlegged the shadowing too, I hate shading and coloring in general. I really need to practice with my tablet. :sad:

Nero/Nelo Unmasked. Incomplete and I am hoping to take it a bit further. It just sucks that I ended up doing a piece I REALLY liked on a rough piece of paper with other doodles on it (see that migit dudes face on the sword…).

That’s nice… thumbs up

Sigh…

Rook, I guess you’re finally gonna have to change the thread title to “VSLASH’S ART THREAD, AND ONLY VSLASH !”

i forgot to mention that vslash’s roy mustang is too good

lust’s too . . . yummy

Yeah I’ve been on a FMA kick as of late. I love that show/manga.

Her name is Kohoro Karo. Lots of errors, plus it looks like she’s pregnant. Oh wells.

EDIT - ew, the colors are so nasty, I need to learn how to save my files correctly.

New Sunflower ! WITH BEE !

Yo Vicious, that Peach is hot, what do you mean by nasty colors? Do you mean image buffering?

if its simple shading like that, try a gif or png

Sunflower pic – nice details.
Only other comment would be that a greater range of values would work better… try using a softer pencil (4B - 6B) for the really dark areas, also maybe use eraser / white crayon / chalk to pop your highlights.

totally agreed. Colours won’t muddy up like in JPEG.

I mean how the colors got all muddled. Thanks though. I’m gonna do an Ice Climbers one this week. That one is gonna be top tier because 1 : It’s gonna go in my portfoilio thing, and 2 : The Ice Climbers are my posse.

Ah, I always save them as Jpegs, I guess we’ll see how that works. Could not resizing them to 50% of what they are help too ?

Thanks, I think the paper I’m drawing on it too thick for my pencil to get REALLY dark on sadly. But I’m also a very impatient shader, I hate hate hate all forms of shading. The only reason I’m doing this is to get a portfoilio together to get into an art program for college somewhere. I have to do 8 more pictures for a “portfoilio”

Here is picture number 2, a pic of A.I.
