don't worry take your time to get settled in.

i have been exploring the real world.

and taking MMM's advice about me being waaay to addicted to the internet.

seems i don't care much about it.:p

i am moving soon myself.:(

i will be checking back in to see your video.;)

Hey everyone.
Long time no see.

***Important announcement for this thread***
I'm afraid I have bad news. This is my last paint-over video for a while.
In fact, I don't think I'll be doing any paint-overs at all for a long time.
I'm really just too busy now. So... I hope you all can still keep this thread alive and comment on each others art! I'm counting on you!
I hope some of you have learned a few useful tips. I know I've seen lots of improvement.
Keep practicing everyone!! :)

VampireGirl:


put a little more work into the video since it's my last one lol.
Kinda got carried away... :P

Well, I'll be sure to come to this thread every now and then to check up on everyone. I just won't be making any critiques.

Big apologies to: Tsuzuki, JustinATTACK, and KAIZEN. I just had to make the last video for VG who was the first one to post. Sorry everyone.

Peace :vsign:

Ahh It's to bad you won't be doing any more videos. I liked them.

A 360 view of a hover tank I'm working on in 3ds max.

YouTube - Modded BZ2 Tank

By the way, is there a post count someone has to achieve before they can embed videos or use an image in their signature space? Or am I just doing it wrong? :confused:

Hi ^^
 

I just wanted to post something ive drawn xP

This is pretty cool. I like it.

@MixedTape
GAARA! One of my favorite characters of Naruto.
You did a good job, But where is the other side of his face??

Thank you! :)

I also started working on my first human head in 3d not too long ago. All that's left to do is fix a couple of problems with the anatomy, remove any tris and Ngons hidden in the wireframe, unwrap the thing, and render it. :vsign:

decided to sketch my boyfriend while he was asleep the other night.

He was asleep in that position? Wow.

@Klint
You're most welcome.

And the 3D head is looking pretty good.

It Disapeard O_O :eek:

Disappeared?! Is that even possible? HaHa
Well Other than that half , I like it.

Since no one ever said anything about this I'm posting it again.
I need some advice on how to make it better.

Sharpen your pencil. lol
Umbrella is too small.
The shape of your hair clumps are strange.

Check this out: LINK Not the greatest tutorial ever. But this person knows how anime hair works. Study that.

Practice your clothing more.

Sorry I don't have any better advice on that... The only way to improve cloth is to practice.

There are hardly any shadows where they should be. Think more about which parts would be in the shade and which would be in the light.

LINK (Not really a shading tutorial. But can you see how carefully this artist thought about the lighting?)

sorry I can't do a paint-over Justin. This is the best I can give you. Hope it helps.

Here are two of many that i drew.

And the other one.

@Tsuruneru: Copying is all well and good. But scanners and copy machines can do it better than a human ever can. If you want to work on being an artist or creating your own works, you need to kick your creative muscle into gear and make things for yourself. If you want to draw popular characters, maybe fanart is a good start; stay away from the poses and whatnot that have already been done and are widely distributed, and create your own poses/scenes/costumes for characters. Give it a shot.

@JustinATTACK: Life drawing. Do it. Go forth and learn.

Thanks! Your advice is greatly appreciated!
This is the first time I've ever drawn clothing of any kind,
I usually draw abstracts.

It's okay I don't need one. It helps tons!

...? Eh yeah dude they were just two drawings nothing to be serous or make an entire paragraph about. It's not a problem to draw favorite characters from anime and games in my spare time is it?

i asked him if he could stay until 4am and we were outside in lawn chairs so yeah he fell asleep and i didn't want to wake him.....so i just started to draw him.xD

HaHa Nice!

@Tsuruneru
Wow those are really good! I love them!
:]

@Justin`
It looks awesome! please give drawing the face and hand a go though, im looking forward to seeing it when it's done! ^_^

@ Vamp
So cute!!!
aww your art is wonderfully adorable ^_^*

Here's a dart/dartboard I modeled off of the one in my room. To challenge myself I didn't take any reference pictures or anything, I just looked at them both a lot while I was working on it. ;)

Two renderings of the board: [LINK] and [LINK].

Rendering of the dart: [LINK].

Real life shot of the board: [LINK].

Not related, but here's a photomanipulation I did when I was bored, as well as a model I based off of one of the grenades from Battlefield: Bad Company: [LINK] and [LINK]. :)

That's ridiculous. Hurry up and go get a job in Hollywood or the games industry :D

here's a link to DigiKun 's new release video (betaa version)Drift Mouse


Its about 2.4GHz nano wireless mouse (cool sport car mouse). Which now you can drift throughout the net with comfort and style.

Haha! thanks i am glad you think so.

i try my best.

but i still need a lot of practice.^.^

Thank you :D

I'd like to get into either one of those, though it's surprisingly difficult to find a school that has either game design or 3d computer animation near me. :-/

I hear that speaking Japanese is a big plus in the gaming industry though, so if I can manage to learn enough of it by the end of college, assuming I can't get into a game design class, I might be able to get a job with a developer using any combined knowledge of Japanese and game design I've learned independently. :rolleyes:

I made a fairy to paint in my new bedroom soon.^^

waaaah!!! so cool!!!
I agree with GTJ, This is so good! ^_^

Thank you! :D

Sorry it took so long to reply. My parents went on vacation so I've been staying at my uncles until recently and I was sick the whole time. I even fell asleep for 20 hours at one point. :o

Well, here's something else I'm working on: [LINK]

Ichigo's sould slayer from Bleach :D
I'm happy with the blade edge for now, but I'm still trying to figure out how to make the flat black part and the handle with the cloth on it look more realistic. I also need to add the seperate piece of cloth trailing off the end on the sword.

Well I Gotta Get A Bunch of My Work Ready For A Gallery
Here are my 6 Favorites
Tell Me What ones are the best
And what you think about them all please

My first good photomanipulation
