Art Time!

[Kurohane]

So, now that we finally have net up at the apartment (even though my comp crashed and Conidivh and I are having to share his now ARRRRGH), I finally get to share the drawing I did of Kuro with everyone! ^_^ Hope you all enjoy~ <3

:D Ooo, pirdy.

[Mortica]

very nice :)

I still haven't finished the one I was doing for the banner here yet. My work schedule for March is insane, so I don't know if I'll ever finish it.

[Ellsbeth]

Very very pretty! Even for a half elf. *winks*

[Kurohane]

Half elf..? /confused If that's a joke, I don't get it. ^^()

Anyhow, thanks for the comments, guys~ <3 I'll hopefully be posting more soon. ^_^

[Pistos]

I tried to post on the TN forums, but it seems the server is down and I can't post.

I really love the drawing, you have a talent and it looks amazing. I wish I could draw Pistos. :D Awesome job!

[Kurohane]

:3 Thanks, Pistos~ I just had a great idea! I should draw a generic NE kitty-form druid! Then I can say I've drawn all of the NE Druid characters!! Hehe. <3

[clys]

Ooh, very nice!

[Sojii]

Know what that means? Time for TN art at the Gazette! I'll have something as soon as I can get off my posterior long enough to scan something.

By the way, I already have one bit of TN art done ... a little tribute to our favourite wannabe-immortals :wink:

[NorthFace]

Nice! Explored around a bit in your DA profile... definitely a neat style to your illustrations. More! More!

[Gannarak]

Very nice, was this done by hand or only with a computer ? Probably a bit of both I imagine. I only draw by hand so I cant always show my artwork, I have a hard time on the computer :P

Thanks, Northface! <3 I'm actually in the process of changing and refining my style a bit - I wasn't happy with the direction it was previously going.

And I did the base sketch by hand, then filled in details, inked and colored it on the computer, Gannarak. ^_^ Inking on the comp is almost not worth teh effort, though. The only nice thing (aside from the crisp lines) is that I can add in more little details and fun junks as after thoughts a LOT more easily.

[NorthFace]

Have you ever tried one of those tablets that plug into the computer? I've heard that's how the majority of digital artists get their work into a system. Scanned images can work.. but I hear it makes things much easier.

[Gannarak]

it costs a lot of money though, but I do want to study in the production of 3D designs for video game at the Ubisoft Campus next year, it may not be such a bad investment. I have tried one during my formation in college (I was studying computer science at the time), it is a nice tool, but you have to get used to the fact that what you draw appears on screen instead than on the board, it may take a period of addaptation before you are as talented on paper as on the board.

Those can be bought at Best Buy too, I believe. I keep seeing them on sale at the BB near my house, anyway.

I currently have:

And I think Kuro/Conidivh have:

I could be wrong on that one, though.

IMO, Wacom costs more than the competitors, but if you're going to buy a tablet, it should be a Wacom. The rest aren't worth your time. :)

[Gannarak]

Thanks a lot for the info, I will be looking into that.

[NorthFace]

Wacom! that's the one. I didn't even know other companies made those things. Fairly specialized market, yeah... but I've heard great things.

Personally I can't do much better than stick figures. When it comes to art I'm very limited. Too logically minded I guess. = (

[Longcat]

I use a graphire because I don't need that many levels of senstivity for just scribbling on the PC :) I would make twice as many mistakes if I had twice as much sensitivity.

Oh, and I'm too cheap for an Inutos. Yay Graphire!
