Thread: My Scribbles and Whatnot, and perhaps Artistic Junk

Hello~. I've been on ST for some time now, but I decided to maybe explore more boards here after the Misc. Series Section was nuked, and the DOGS thread that I frequented was gone. The Art board here seemed pretty interesting and lively, so I though I'd join with all you fellows - though I'm learning too, and would greatly appreciate constructive criticism and help. : ) And if possible, comments? Heheh.

However, please be lenient on me with the criticism. >.<

I'd thought I'd start with some old stuff - like some of my favs. I started out doing fanart, but now I'm mostly leaning towards making up my own stuff and trying to find my style.

Well, I tried to do Reno from FFVIIAC in my own way. And now when I look back, it's so-so. I was mostly concentrated on playing around with exaggerated folds, and the hair. I like to do hair. This was around January 2005.

This next one was suppose to lean on the style of Chinese Elves with some kind of ninja and martial-artsy sort of thing going on. I mixed pencil and ink with this one - I do not think I had any good sort of composition - nor anatomy.... This was like late January 2005.

Oh, haha, this one below is Alice in Wonderland in my own way. It was something that started out as a sketch and grew like this. My favorite is the Cheshire. However, this piece contains so many flaws like porportions and anatomy again, and I never really finished properly shading it. This was around June 2005 when I submitted that.

"Out of Place" was pretty wicked in the way I captured the girl's expression. It's a bit warped and nonsensical overall though. Around August 2005.

"Imraeli Soldier" was for a friend while I studied on making weird armor and had fun shading. My scanner didn't properly scan it well, so yeah.

Little Red or Wicked lady in Snow White? Just a sketch. I did the trees in the back while on a bus, but the scanner scanned it too lightly to see all the details really there.

Oh, I love Howl's Moving Castle, so I made fanart for the book version. It was like a sketch, and funny trivia thing was that I did this while having a 104 fever. I'm an insane little child, I guess, but I wanted to draw. I had to darken it because of my scanner that time.

"Chyseis Dormientis Lunae" was experimental in me getting the soft look right. And I kinda got that, and I like it nonetheless. I need to learn how to shade the face for more dimension, though, I believe. I made the neck to thick here too it seems.

Woosh! Last one, I have so many up here already. This one was to be called "Praeceps," but I changed it to English "Edge of the Abyss." This was for Kid-chan's contest, and I decided to test the turn for some surrealism and junk. It was absolutely enjoyable, though I had to shade it several layers. Trying to recreate the water shimmer was difficult, and I didn't get it properly. And I notice that I need to fix the left hand since it's going the wrong direction. Unfortunately, I did not win any spot for that contest, but this still remains my most favorite piece so far.

: ) I would greatly appreciate any say on my stuff, and I hope you enjoy seeing them. I'll post some more links later.

wow, nice. good stuff there. but since u didnt really want critique, i'll just critique one thing....that's you. You should open yourself up to critiques, since it should give you a wider and broader view of what you can do, and the things you can fix that you never noticed yourself.

he did ask for comments, personally I love you designs and drawings, especially the interprutation of Alice in Wonderland, the character in that is really amazing. I love it. oh and I would critique but I'm not much of an artist ;_; I wouldn't know what to say they look good to me :P

yeah, lenient critiques...=\

Oh, thank you for the comments, but I'm rather open on the critiquing and all. When I'm saying lenient, I'm just meaning to say don't bash me with it so much? Give me all you have when it comes to criticism and all so that I can improve, I'm just asking not to say something along the lines like "You stole that pose; go make one yourself." And whatnot. That happened once... so.... It's hard for me to express what I'm trying to say.

Though, if you can give me tips or critiques to your best extent, go for it.

Just updating, so I hope none mind the double-posting -- unless I could plead that it's been awhile, the thread was pushed off onto the next page, and so forth for defense in case. O_O;

*cough* This next one was so troublesome. In the whole controversial bit of "guy or girl?" Eheheheh. I like some of the swords though.

Please comment and critique.

I saw some wicked stuff. Good work. I apreciate artists who take their time into creating details to the drawing. :]
