AWKWARD ZOMBIE

So, serious question here

Is Anime Studio worth my time?

like i mean it SAYS it's good but you can trust advertising as far as you can throw it

I owe Terraem a pixel picture, and since he likes bears, I made it a bear

Some nonsense I doodled in class last February and remade in Inkscape at work today

I do so love bears and that is one awesome pixel bear Tatzel.

Remember Tatz, pixel art is about thoughtful placement of every pixel, not just drawing in binary.

You've got a whole lot of areas where the lines are all jagged because you haven't been precise and thoughtful in your edge control



This is a good place to start http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_p ... ?TID=11299

Oh hey, that link will come in really handy, thanks!

I know it's a bit sloppy, but it was bodaciously my first try with that. I just wanted to go ahead and plunge myself headfirst in there.
But yes, this will help me tons, aaah

You already have good styling, that bear looks way better than what I can make if it were refined a bit with the lineart.

Edit:I think I'll start posting my err...creations here soon enough.

Edit 2:Here's they are.

Catersir

This one has an interesting backstory, I found out from Knowyourmeme.com that there was an entire fangame based around fusion sprites, and that the dude here was planning on making a sequel to the game, so I submitted this to the game, which is why it has more stuff than the rest of these pokefusions.

Meowbro

Meowbro was a fun one to create for me, it just works, man. Not to mention all I really did was remove some details and add whiskers to both the shell and Slobro himself.

I like the shell.

Squirchu

This one is self-explanatory, nothing much to say, sadly.

I'll make another when I get another idea, for now, I'm taking suggestions.

Edit:I also get this could be considered plagiarism, but at this rate, you'd have to go yell at every last person who's uploaded a Pokemon Fusion, it's already widespread to stop without getting major backlash.

I've been working on two separate portfolios for application into the Collage I want to get into, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in seeing my work and progress.

I have to follow very strict guild lines to be accepted, but I'd like some critique on anything I could improve.

lay it on me bruh

Well I don't have everything as professional photograph quality yet, but I'll post what I have and edit in more later when I have a nice camera and nice lighting.

Edit: Put in the rest of the portfolio requirements, besides personal art since I have already posted those before.

With rotations I think the key is to make sure all the details are accurate from every angle, you've got a few hiccups where things aren't quite the right size

For example the belly armour thing in the front view goes right up to her breasts, but in every other one it's a bit lower, same kinda thing with the leg armour stuff. I can see you got those little marks at certain places as guides but I'd advise drawing lines all the way across and do them where ever you are even slightly unsure that something isn't in the right place, you can always rub them out.

Her character comes through clearly which is good, a lot of people think doing a rotation means your character has to stand neutral which is boring boring boring. Though some of them do lose the strength of the pose, in the frontal her feet are wide apart and her arms are spread which means she takes up a large area which suits her well, but the others lose this a bit because they aren't really drawn in perspective. The viewer doesn't feel that her legs are wide apart. Demonstrating perspective skill is a big plus.

While on perspective, it's wonky as heck in the big bar image. I've drawn some lines over it to demonstrate why http://sadpanda.us/images/1873123-UHKDVPG.jpg

I've sloppily followed the lines of the table to the table's vanishing point which is on the horizon of the image. Everything above the horizon is technically floating; the bar, the dudes at the other table. You could fix this by removing/changing the background so that the image feels more enclosed and focussed on the group in front. I mean is the background really necessary? It doesn't give any extra information since the tankards and merriment are indication enough that they're in a tavern. If you're set on a full scene you'll really have to redraw the entire thing.

For the poses you should read up on the concepts of gesture, line of action and rhythm

Here are some images that go over them for a quick gist

http://trotroy.deviantart.com/art/HOW-T ... -209542995 The artist here uses Glen Keane as an example and if you aren't familiar with him already I advise you to familiarize yourself with every pencil mark he's ever made

I did this scribble to try illustrate how you can implement these ideas in one of your poses

http://sadpanda.us/images/1873130-B9KIJOB.jpg The thing on the right is a very simplified interpretation of the motion, it's what I started with but has been lost under the other marks. I might have changed the idea of the image a bit, in mine I tried to make it clear that she's beating the dragon, as the next image implies, so I made it clear that she's standing over it with a strong pose and it's cowering away. (referring to the ideas in http://radsechrist.deviantart.com/art/b ... -270201103) If you wanted it to look like an intense fight I'd suggest entangling them or giving them both strong poses.

I think that's pretty much all I have to comment on at the moment.

Oh yeah the guy slapping her butt while she's sitting down is a bit implausible.

A lot of those concepts I very much understand and have worked to improve upon. I especially went for the line of action in my pose pieces, though your example is good, I like that for mine it flows from the sword, into the body, and then into the monster, I think it mentally represents that the sword is swinging in that direction. Originally the body was going to be facing the opposite way, but I wasn't satisfied with how that turned out.

I know there are quite a few problems with my turn around, I tried to use graph paper to keep everything even and lined up and I've revised and revised and revised so many times so I guess I just need an infinite amount of more practice to get proportions correctly in line with measurements.

Eeysh, yeah for the bar one, as hard as I worked on it I really do have problems with perspective, and it used to be way worse until until I dragged everything done a few inches, I just sort of want it to look like a big spacious room and not close to the wall. And to have some sort of commotion going on in the background as well as a bar.

At the moment I am actually finished my Animation portfolio, and I really need to start working on my Illustration if I'll ever get it done between university and other bullshit.

Got the urge to draw something. Sorta sad I ended up putting more effort into it than I planned, but eh.
I remember when I ended up drawing Digimon when I had inspirational moments, eventually it turned to stuff from my story - and considering this looks like a Digimon now, it seems like a fusion of those two things happened - or I'm still affected by that contest marathon.
Either way, more of a personal thing than anything else.
