Drawings and the like

[Dominicy]

Title changed again :3

[fruckert]

I like it
Except for the fact that he doesn't have a body
And the fact that the sword looks a bit weird. It looks like the hilt is farther forward in the Z axis then the blade, probably cause it's darker
Other then that it's good

[Dominicy]

YEH CALL THAT CRUSHING MY SPIRIT!?

He has no body, probably because you're a lazy bastard, his sword is mis-shapen, looks like the blade is broken, the scar on his eye looks like hair, his chest is out of proportion and his head is oversized.

Topic closed.
















In all seriousness, yes, I was rushing, and it made me screw up his sword, particularly.

His chest plate thing looks kinda weird... It should get bigger as it gets nearer the viewer, not smaller.

That's the only criticism I have that you didn't mention :p It looks like you can draw okay. I have no idea how you screwed up the sword so badly XD

Two words.  Mouse pad.  My mouse hates me and all those bull-crap excuses.  XD 

[Archem]

Your pretending is better than my pretending! Good job!

[Dominicy]

Yaaay pretending.

Get out of anime and do it fast.

[Dominicy]

That can be taken many ways.  I'll leave room for you to explain before I say anything XD

[Phayre]

The perspective on the head is weird, and he's missing an eye. Poor eyeless guy.
As for "my mouse hates me" . . . that's why there are tablets. Computer drawing is not a requirement, so if you want to do it, either get really good with a mouse or invest in a Wacom. I love my tablet (though I use it mostly for web graphics, spriting, and writing rather than drawing).
As for "get out of anime", I disagree. I think if people can develop their own interpretation of the anime and manga aesthetic, than it's fine, a great thing to play with. However, if you draw your figures and faces just like your favorite artists do, or just like your favorite animes style (i.e. OMG U GAIZ LOOK AT MAI DOOD I DREW HIZ EYEZ JUST LIEK NARUTOS LOL!), then that is lame. This from the girl who still has to remind herself that only CLAMP can bestow their men with absurdly thick eye makeup-looking-lines and still be awesome.

[Dominicy]

More or less I just go for my own style, didn't mimic any particular anime (The reason not limited to the fact that they all suck).  The eye is missing because I couldn't quite get it right at the angle it's at, and I couldn't quite get giving his face shading right with just black.  Oh, right, and I'm dirt poor.  Not quite my family, but *I* am, so should I ever get a tablet, it'll be by being a mooch XD

[ZeroKirbyX]

I say get out of anime because away from the internet, you'll get no real respect for it unless you do it INCREDIBLY well.

[Meiscool-2]

Drawing shouldn't be about respect from others; it should be about self enjoyment.

Dom, I think it looks very good, despite it being a well known drawing style. You made a good hand, which (at least for me) is one of the hardest things to do on a person. The sword looks pretty effed up - try straightening it or something so it doesn't look so bent. The handle/hilt could also serve to be a little smaller/thinner.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Art is solely for self enjoyment until you decide to share it, at which point just your opinion ceases to matter. I think I've gone through this shtick before.

Looks good, the only thing I don't like is the nose. I wanna post what I made, but I don't think I'm allowed to
