Magi's Sketch Book

Sort of a Daily Art Thread thingy, I guess.

This is sort of the idea I got from Concept Arts.

I'll start with something seasonly.

Spoiler:

I am not quite done with this though. This particular avatar have exchangeable parts such as her hat and body parts. Those are all saved as separate layers can be replaced and updated for other event or a different look.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Super Scooter <3

Rococo get around town in her "Super Scooter". (lol) An electric moped that goes up to around 30 mph. It tows a little trailer thingy for shopping purposes. Its got Rococo's Bakery Sign on it.

I am actually not very good at drawing people operating something or riding bike or something of that nature, the object that they are interacting with often interferes my drawing of the character from time to times.



Shinzo as an adult(18). He joined the royal paladins guards of the Lanthine, although remain somewhat of a rogue. He doesn't have much of his timidity as a child.


Mikael: Care taker to Lanthine, until the day Princess Arrowyn is to take power.

Karlim, House of Gray Wolfs. The reason that the Bounty Hunter's Guild has hold up for so long is because of him. War buddies of Leon and Jack during the Uggrasuix-Gaianian Wars. He had a fallout with Jack after the war on some principle issues which eventually leading to jack leaving the guild. He remain at the guild and working behind the scenes to bring small reforms to the practice of the organization.

Cyclones, developed during Tartarus' rebellion against Lanthine, they belongs to a class of monsters that are totally powered by magic. Immune to Cathian based spells and life force magic. Was the most effective weapons against the undead... until it turns against Lanthine during the Titan War.

Argo-Rimu: A lesser demon assigned with the task of assassinating Princess of Lanthine.

Some Rendering issues
Blender's Internal Rendering Engine Rendering time a few seconds

Spoiler:

Yafray: 27 minutes


the light setting for the two render is exactly the same, there is exactly one light, there is a subtle but important difference in depth of the image. Particularly in the shadows.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

Rendering in Blender + Yafray
12 minutes
Ray Depth 3 on best quality and Full Radiosity.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

111207 (rework)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The building is interesting, I gotta do a fly through one of those days. Radiosity take too long to render though. UnrealEd eh? Man, It would be fun to create interesting envirment to explore. -w-

Spoiler:

Some experimental method, I haven't "speed paint" for a while. Around 20


also a little update on the buildings.

FELIPE NO

Hey thanks. :3 I am actually not particularly good at coloring. <.<, I am still working on it, there are people that I really likes in terms of coloring style that I am trying to emulate.
Practice, mainly from the photo reference dub tutorial book "portraiture" (It was a Japanese publication), I have had it quite a few years. There are a lot portrait photo in that book, pretty good for this purpose.

Spoiler:

Ruby... Just doodle.

The solar array controls... This doesn't actually show up in the render that much, but I am thinking about putting in some additional details in it.



Here are the renderings. The Blender's internal Ambient Occlusion rendering...

and Yafray.

I added some stuff when I was working on the Yafray. Note that it doesn't have the grainy quality of the Ambient Occlusion, which I liked, however, it creates lights in much better fidelity, of course, the down side of that is time.
Although time consuming, its also very possible to make pretty good rendering with Ambient Occlusions.

Although I still haven't being able to reproduce the effect of "light through transparency", not even caustics, I still have a lot to learn.

I probably should rely less on the use of raytrace reflection on those images, its beginning to feel gimmicky, heh. I just found out how to use "array" modifiers on Blender.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Colored Bricks Attempt 1

This is harder then it looks, OR MAYBE that I just suck at this, either way, its back to basics.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

and learning soft body dynamics...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hey thanks. I am not sure how "serious" the type of art forum you are thinking off, but I do post in some professional forum such as Concept-arts on occasions. Although my prospect is currently pretty dim at the moment.

Some New sketches.






Some stuff that I posted in my journal.

Spoiler:

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hey thanks. O.o althoughI don't think I actually uploaded any of my lucky star character drawings to youtube though. Its probably someone else.



What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sort of delayed, but thanks.

I think I hit rock bottoms. Maybe its time to dust myself off. I personally feel most productive when I am drawing, but I have been rather distracted by other things recently.




FELIPE NO

Yup! :3


What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

What is your wow character like?

A bit more progress on the dragoon.

1. Thanks!
2. How come? O.o;;

How ya doing, buddy?

How ya doing, buddy?

A little update






How ya doing, buddy?

Jessy: Just woke up one day and just wanted to draw something somewhat vulgar. >.>; Had a black and white print out of the thing, but wasn't sure what I was looking at.
Its probably not safe for work, so I'll link it here.

Seris Sure, that sounds like fun. Although I might have misplaced my copy of original OC. I'll have to find it again.

greatPumpkin: Thanks! I use Blender for the 3D stuff. It isn't a default setting, and I have to tweak it a bit. Unfortunately I don't know how to use Maya since I never really got far enough with the PLE version. Note that there is also additional light emitter in the scene. What is a CYC?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I guess I could post this here too, putting some more activities on the actual forum itself, eh? :3


Jessy: Thanks. :3

VitaminZinc: I don't play wow, although most of people I know seen to play Horde. I suppose I could draw your paladin, what does he look like?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Coloring.. maybe its a bit lazy.



Although for some reason the none-shaded version have a more polish feel to it. Maybe I just need to tighten it up?


How ya doing, buddy?

A sort of challenge on another forum. Basically you have to draw images without first laying out using pencil. You'll have to draw only using pens.




FELIPE NO

"Freeing", indeed so.



Thanks. O.o;; I am not too great with bodies, I am afraid. I am not always consistent with it. >.>;
