The Most Annoying Sketchbook In The World

valiums · March 18, 2012 07:53 AM

I drew some stuff and I would be pleased if you looked at it.

Here's some bits from a comic project with a friend.

These are guys in masks doing some traditional festival stuff. These spirits appear and take crops, which they roll into thin cigarettes; they smoke and fill the sky, pushing away rainclouds. They appear in droves and cause droughts and famine.

These are mountain-eaters. I'm sure you can guess at what they do.

I was bored and I had watercolors, so I got out some copy paper and started browsing lookbook.nu.

Annotations, ho.

This is from a personal project

I love stupid little drawings like this.
Look at that hand. That is the best hand I have ever drawn.

it's pretty good but personally i am not intrigued

i like your style. the poses feel stiff but that's always something you can improve on. try some lovecastle or pixelovely for some pose and anatomy ideas for your style

GOD DAMN IT, that's how I usually react when playing vidya games. I find your art intriguing, share more with us.

I like your style as well
My favorites are the spirits, the mountain monster, and the sketches form your personal project :>
Keep it up

Heyllo everyperson.
I had yet another idea for some comic. It is inspired by Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Texhnolyze.
I made a bunch of sketches, and colored a few. Here are the two that don't make me cringe. Maybe possibly expect more later.

(Winter Queen)

(Summer Bishop)

I of course tried to draw some clean lines, and color those, but they were too soulless and dead-looking.

Have been working on making "complete" drawings IRL, and not just doodles. I would submit, but it's like a five minute walk to the nearest scanner and I'm not having any of that.

Also some more stuff from the mountain-eater / smoking mask project:

Still not totally comfortable drawing scantily clad females.

I also redrew this one, but the file was corrupted.

I'm trying to stop sketching everything. It's hard to make one line and resist the urge to go over it or correct it again in some way.
And I'm trying to to make more "finished" pieces. :/ I really have been drawing nothing but heads for the past few years.

Also, more color abuse. And my scanner broke.

Eventually I just break down and start drawing more lines than necessary.

Wait, when did I start drawing everyone looking to the right.

i like the first one the most. it'd be cool to see a full painting with that color scheme and temperature

I give you the best complement i could think of: "you make me wonder where I left my sketchbook."

valiums · May 19, 2012 06:33 AM

This post now with 100% less angst.

Sketch of a page for a comic.

Sinitron · May 19, 2012 07:13 AM

i WAS going to be extremely rude but i only really think your color choices are an atrocity

the rest is ok aside from the whole 'not intrigued' thing

don't go to 4chan unless you want 4chins

SHADOWFOX2 · May 19, 2012 05:29 PM

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssnap

1. For some reason I haven't been to 4chan in a while, but I'll actively avoid it now. :/ It hasn't been good for my English.

2. Thank you for your disinterest? What kind of art are you into, anyways?

3. I have really never worked with color before, so I'm sorry, I'm sort of losing my shit over it now.

4. Okay, I will try uploading more "finished" things. For instance:

Oh shoot I forgot to soften/erase/fix some of the shadows. Whoops.
