Not much to see here, I am just going to post whatever thoughts come to my mind here...on occasion.
Feel free to respond or whatever. Otherwise this is just another incredibly boring thread, sorry.

I'm not sorry tho.

Sorry for not being sorry, tho.

Hazer:
Haha I'm glad you like the update.
I plan on making it so that adding items doesn't refresh the page too - though at a later date.
The items dancing around always drove me insane.


Will immediately join your fanclub when this happens.
or at the very least, mail you a box of bananas.

@Apollo im burning: Do you have either a written description or visual reference for Jordan? :O

Amber Lynne:




@Matcha: Works for me. XD
I'll Pm ya in a minute or two with an invite code! (Or PM ya saying I was totally wrong. > <. I'm 99% sure I have a couple though)

Meanwhile, here are the characters I have profiles for
You can pick whichever.

If you have something you wanna do that isn't there, lemme know! I probably have a character that has whatever feature you're itching to do. XD


I've chosen anna peters if that is okay.
I have her uh, husk done (pose/meat)
Wondering what clothes you'd want her in?
I see straight jackets in the examples, but her bio indicates progress since then/now employed even.

Bioshock:

Table top RPGs for sure! If you have time and friends with time; its the best way to make use of em!

Feel free to post them here anyway!

But I'll take any and all OCs that people still 'care' about haha. Oooh this is my first time seeing Hothouse. Ive heard referenced but didn't know what it was til now!

Posted in Show n' Tell: Your OC's for Free Art Posted 6 years ago



Show me your bb's~
Short Story:
Discuss them/tell me about them. I'll randomly come back here to draw them because I need practice before I attempt a shop. :3

ONCE I CREATE 10 PIECES, I will open up a voltra shop. (Counting Hachi's I did as one piece, so 9 to go.)
My style is...not established yet...I'm not trying to go hardcore anime in what I do but not realism either. We'll see how this goes.
Sorry if I ruin your babes.




Currently Drawing:

3/10: Bioshock's Geko (Sketching).

Slots:
4/10: Apollo's Siren, Jordan.
5/10: Priestess's Master of Disguise, Cecilia
6/10: Vintage's bois Jay and Kane (couple pose first try wish me luck when I get here.
7/10: Hopefully enough practice above until then lol sorry if I ruin them
8/10: QT's Bunny girl (Saw a request thread, thought it was cute.)
9/10: Empty
10/10: Empty

FINISHED



What I feel like I'm doing okay at:

Don't hate doing hands, tbh. Not saying mine look great, but I'm not inclined to burry the hand behind the person.
With more practice I think I'll have good hand mechanics- I'm grasping it. (Ba dum tss)

I think I'm okay at digital symmetrical faces transform tool is friend

Almost prefer to do poses that aren't just standing there, crouching, kneeling, stretching,
leg up, kick those sorts of things I feel good about.

Don't mind doing men or women both in art and in romance heh ignore me


What I find myself struggling with most

Clothing wrinkles- I can get a gander as to 'where' they'd be- but actually drawing them, shading the area- confuses me.

Facial expressions for me are limited to eye brow positioning. I'm not very well at drawing mouths or shading lips.
I tried to shade the lips in Hachi's piece on the female and you can't even tell. It's such a small but important feature orz

HAIR is really hard for me. How many lines to draw? how much is too much? How to convey the texture well?
Where to add shine?? Why does it look so flat.

I literally cannot figure out for shit how to use the blending tool in a pretty way.

Coloring techniques are also weak. I need to find what I'm comfortable with. I've seen so many tutorials and..I just physically
cannot grasp it. orz


Currently using the free trial of Clip Studio. Honestly it's amazing, someday I'd really want ClipStudio it is so user friendly.
When it expires, will most likely go back to using KRITA.


Most Helpful Tips given to me so far.

Draw them Naked first Oh

Think of boobs as wonder balloons how they sit. wow that actually helped a lot lmao

Always use your own body as a reference- use joints as a spacial reference. duh why didn't I think of that

Fixing little things does go a long way, don't deem it not worth it to fix small stuff. im lazy but you're right

If you have a dark colored character, you should have a dark colored background otherwise the brightness
will distract the eye from seeing the fine details. Ah!



Honesty Note: Will frequently look up reference pictures if I am confused. But promise I am by no means tracing.
My biggest reference I use (like constantly) is this app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/artpose-pro/id1322105540?mt=8
(But on android, I don't have an iphone)
If this app fails to help me (which it usually doesn't tbh its thorough I can't believe it has bad reviews) then I will google ref pics
"Picture of girl grabbing apple" "Angry Faces" sorts of deal.
