Really? Good. Because I didn't design it.

This is assuming you're talking about the portfolio site. Looking at it now, it's really not all that rave anyway.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Vemp · Local time: Feb 6, 2007, 10:12 PM

Still, it looks pretty. I have to make a portfolio site too.

How ya doing, buddy?

Poem:
There have been good times,
There have been hard times,
We've fought and we've struggled,
We've kissed and we've cuddled,
And even at the end of the journey we know as life,
Through the times we thought we couldn't make it through,
I know that you will always be beside me.
Thank you for everything,
I will always love you.

<3 you.

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

very good! I think the guy could have a little more how to say that "highlight? or shade in the hair like the girl but I think it make the difference between him and her more interesting XD

and is it me or they look like Kairi and Sora from kingdom hearts? XD

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah my style is similar to the Kingdom Hearts art style here, I noticed, but they're actually two of my original characters, Roiz and Krue. They've been in most of my other pictures too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In a world without you...

Shitty self-portrait. Painter IX.5, ~60mins. I hate it, but it made me feel better. Life hasn't been very happy to me.

Chapter titles for the second to last chapter in my manga. Low res. camera shots because I don't like my scanner.

ROIZ ver.
"thank you for always being by my side. i'll definitely come home to you, so until that day, farewell. i'll never forget you."

KRUE ver.
"you taught me how to love. because you were always by my side, protecting me, i know that you'll definitely come home to me. thank you."

I got bored coming home from work. Will redraw + CG for www.deepindivine.com (NAKU official website!)

Hey, that looks pretty good. :3 Nice perspective for something like that. So how are you going about to CG it?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

aiyaitsai · May 15, 2007, 06:28 PM

Holy crap can it be? You actually SHRUNK your images first?!

Well this new one is nice. You've been improving~
As magi said, nice perspective but I think you'd see less of her arm.
Anyways, keep it up.

I have a few more pencil sketches to scan, but I'll scan, CG, and post them after I finish...

designdraft 3: design en bleu

I'm so proud of it. It's my first Wordpress theme from the ground up. That's my sandbox so theres nothing interesting to read (only some pictures in my gallery sandbox), but you can still play around with the layout and see how far that gets you.

Estimated Launch: Early June.

I still need to start getting content ready but yeah. Tell me what you think of it.

Your latest looks like some good line-art. I like the frame design, as it leads you into the pic from the barrel into the girl's finger, which brings you to the characters. Nice composition, there. It'll be interesting to see how you color it. Keep me updated since I don't check the forums often enough.

Magi · Local time: Jul 17, 2007, 10:04 PM

Well, I think you could use a little more mechanical details and textures on some of the parts. The gears and the cog in the back for example, you can probably elaborate it a little as you go. Adding to the visual complexity of the entire image.

deep in divine 5%

Code:

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

I fixed up the cog and the chain, since their messiness was bothering me. Also I finished the frame! So now I just have to draw the picture inside. I'm looking to start coloring today, and maybe finish sometime early next week. We'll see how inspired I can stay to reach that goal.

As for technical detail, I was going to try to add a lot of it with color, but I see what you mean, and I'm going to try to work on it. This picture has to end up as perfect as I can make it.

deep in divine 10%

Code:

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

From the last progress image, I finished the lineart and made a lot of adjustments from my original pencil sketch's lineart. Firstly, I fixed Roiz's left arm to a more natural position, took a hell of a lot of tries to get it right. I also fixed his neck and chest area to be more anatomically correct. Also fixed some issues with Krue's hair and foreshortened arm. Furthermore, coloring has begun. Dai helped me with some of this stuff, so a big thank you for seeing and fixing what I couldn't see or fix.

This is taking a awfully long time. Do you think it might be easier to use polygon tool to fill it in? If you don't use the fill tool as a principle...

Well I didn't work on it for several days in succession. Normally I don't use any tool to automatically fill colors; I just use brush tool. Is that bad?

deep in divine 40%

Code:

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

Progression #20. Did some coloring and lighting, but my knowledge of light is seriously lacking. I tried coloring some of the skin but it looked so fake I just got rid of it and went back to the solid color.

edit//More lighting. I'm aware that the light on her face is wrong now, I'm going to fix it so that it seems as though light is coming from the viewer; whatever she's pointing at in the hole. If I were to act as though the sun were the only light source, I think the picture would be too dark, and I was going for a lively atmosphere.

Here's some color practice that I posted in the Daily Art Thread. Used my friend's picture and did her beauty no justice. Oh well. I'll probably do more of these sometime soon, probably after I finish deep in divine.

Also, the next sketch that I'll be completely digitizing:

I think I'll call this one "lost in nostalgia" since its similar to "deep in divine." The name keeps growing on me. But digi-inking and cging this one won't be fun at all.

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

UltimaIchijouji · Aug 9, 2007, 12:14 AM

Progression #22 (Full resolution)
Lots of lineart modifications. Lots of coloring Krue, who is done except for her pants at this point. I'm questioning my method of coloring hair, but I think it's pretty ok for the most part. Today was about 12 hours of work total.

Tomorrow I'll probably add the lighting on the sphereblade and start adding the base colors for the shotgun and cogs. After I do Roiz it'll be smooth sailing. I hope to have it done by Monday.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

UltimaIchijouji · Aug 12, 2007, 02:55 AM

deep in divine 75-80%

Code:

Media: Pencil (0.5mm)
Program: Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
Dimensions: 1920x2500; 600 pixels/inch

Progression #23 (Full Resolution)

Lots and lots of progress. More base colors on the frame, fully lighted shotgun barrel, everything on Roiz save his hair, and lineart fixes. I'm aiming to finish tomorrow night. I'm thinking there's only about 10-15 hours of work left to be done. If I sit down and concentrate, I can finish it by the end of the weekend.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Vemp · Local time: Aug 12, 2007, 11:43 PM

Dude, finish it already.

How ya doing, buddy?
