Unfortunately, I don't think there are some of the direct bitmap line tool in some of the advence graphic software as do in Oekaki.

Thanks~

For my choice of oekaki, I'm a lot more used to the interface and method of coloring on it moreso than I am on major graphics programs. Its ok though, I'll probably start CGing in programs like Photoshop a lot more now that I'm getting the hang of it. But yeah, since there aren't many of the advanced options in oekaki, its a bit more difficult to really go crazy with the coloring.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Looking at my old sketchbooks makes me cry.

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

Old traditional color piece. Colored with colored pencil.


Color pencil testing. Didn't do much with this, didn't even ink it. Very sloppy, but pretty much shows the extent of my traditional coloring skills.


Something I inked today. Still need to do the lines a bit nicer but its coming along. Going to CG this one.

Pretty much just wanted to show you guys (read:Magi) that I do color. I don't color often, but I color. Sadly, what I do color doesn't really look that great. Definitely going to take a lot of time to improve my traditional color and CG coloring skills so that I can have complete-looking works to show.

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

Still working~

Thanks~ Yeah, using CS2. Everything is a layer: Lineart, Hair, Clothes, and Skin. I'll probably add shading and lighting layers too. Although I have no idea where the light source will be or how I'm gonna shade it, which is why I might call it quits for the day.

Double Post:


Sketch I did in the car. Gonna work on my CG more now.

How ya doing, buddy?

Recent crap. Mostly sketches and practice. No particular order here.




"Wait, Roiz, you'll die! Wait, please wait! Roiz!" "I have no choice..."


"Today I saw you. It felt like it was the first time, once again. And the conversation we held with only eyes..." :sigh:


"I want to graduate."


"Fly me away, and submit me to the sound."


Two-page spread edited together sloppily.

FELIPE NO

I'm trying to do more action-ish, movement-ish poses in order to learn, so yes. I want to start my manga but since its a lot of action, I don't want to start it prematurely.

I've also been doing lots of sketches of characters I might use, just kind of creating the characters as I go along. I have more stuff but I'll scan it in later.

And yes, I very much do want to graduate.

Most amazing jew boots

Fuck you Ellen.



First sketch with my intuos3. Kind of troubled so I picked it up and drew a bit, otherwise I haven't been drawing much.

Abdomen anatomy is off.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Another new oekaki. Not much else to say.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

"This time I have to fight for you."

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

These are from the past month or two. All sketches, not really anything final. A few things I'd like to work on more though.


Random NAKU collage sketches in order.


Drew this about a month ago when I was still depressed over May.


First picture is Anji. Second picture Krue and Jan. Third is a sketch of Roiz and Krue from the day I predicted my ex was gonna break up with me. I'm good like that. I always know. In order.


Random NAKU sketch pages in no specific order.


Anatomy practice: people on the train.

edit//Added the explanations, although I'm sure no one gives a shit.

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

Two new sketches. Very sketchy sketches that need work. Planning on using them in a piece when I get time though.

Both of these pieces will be done by next Sunday. They're the cornerstone of my college portfolio, which I really want to finish in the next week or two.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Its pencil. Whole thing done today on the back of a thematic essay assignment sheet. Don't have pens to ink, so I just had to take a picture. My scanner sucks.

Latest advents of this piece. This is just a version for my portfolio, due frighteningly soon. Once all of that is out of the way I'm going to go back, equalize the lines and add more detail.

Also looks like I upped the resolution. Happy loading, guys.

Portfolio version done. I'll pick it up and work on it in a week or so when my college shit will hopefully be done. The inspiration from this piece was CGsociety with all the fine details and stuff, so hopefully thats what this will evolve into.

Take me down to the river of soules...

Yeah people have been on my ass about that all night. My answer was: She's not exactly flat (there is shading), but if I have time before I have to send it out, I will fix it. And I'll also probably end up fixing it for my other four portfolios. The piece is "done" but its not done, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, the other 'cornerstone' piece is done.



If I have time, I'll try to "fix" the circles, even though I like them as is. The last two rows are larger, but when reduced to the size of the others, the symmetry is still off and it doesn't look good (I lost the brush size :\/)

Took a Wii break. I'll fix those things more towards 6am-ish because there are some things bothering me too.

Here, have an advertisement (Portfolio piece #3)

Had a chance to work on it before I sent it out to Carnegie-Mellon. I have 3 hours to work before I have to send it out to Drexel, although I don't know if the big post office is open today...

The new piece kind of rings more incomplete to me than the old piece did, but it does look better. I need to add more lighting/shading to Krue and blend the mountains better, and it will look much more complete. As soon as CS3 finishes reinstalling, this will happen.

After almost 22 hours straight of drawing, I did get some sleep last night. A decent amount too. But it begins once again....

Got bored. Look forward to more.

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

Time for a treat. A special concoction I started after the last one thats coming out well. Might go into the last three portfolios.

Now take a look at your painting*, and compare your two contrasting tones. Tell me what you've learned.

*It's too late for portfolio sakes, but I was talkin bout river of souls. This is for self improvement.

Its never too late for portfolio's sake (unless if its February 2nd already).

Anyway I didn't do what you recommended because you know how I love to rebel. I understand where you're coming from and I'll probably reference some stuff to get the lighting perfect, but I want to figure out how to find colors and midtones between two colors etc etc. I'm bad at that.



Save #20, some dude from ConceptArt told me all the stuff that was wrong, starting to work on it. Blah blah work on it more soon.

I want to work on my other piece too. Juggling time between this and regents and games is so hard.

edit//also I flipped it and her face looks kind of weird. I don't really want to mess with lineart anymore but it seems I have no choice anymore.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's also to show you the different tones on the color wheel. A little purple? Maybe blue. Green?

And stop playing those damn games. Your brain is already rotting, you don't need to speed up the process.

But Zelda is fun.

If I work on it today, I'll try what you said then. Nothing better to do.

I seriously am doubting my ability to finish this in the next few days for my final portfolios. This is going to be quite an adventure.

Final version. I'm taking a break. Need a vacation or some shit.
