    New Picture Exchange

    OK, In keeping with a long-standing tradition started by Lauradot and branching out into the Design & Graphics forum via Aria, I've decided that the first sticky on the Art & Anime board should be a Picture Exchange.

    So get in here and post your work - sketches, drawings, finished artwork or photos, renders, etc. etc. and get some feedback. Also feel free to use this space for collaborations, for example, post a sketch and have someone else ink & color it.

    Additionally, in the spirit of community, I'd love to see some completed files attached and discussions about different techniques take place in this thread - could become a great resource for the community.

    Here's two of my most recent - a character I've been working with for a while now that I had intended to create a game for, but unfortunately time has proven prohibitive (actually, I think I started the last pic exchange with a picture of this guy!).

    Basically, these are two quick sketches I took into Flash to vectorize and play around with color.





    I think I like the rough style of the first one more.

    hey I like the random facial expressions! totally groovy!!

    hmmm the second robot has a more "clean" look to it, and the first, as you said, "rough". I'd say the first one's better, being it looks more... I dunno... fierce, you could say, due to the sketchy line look.

    that's a character I made up a long time ago, and it was one of the first flash projects I ever did. I could probably improve it a million times more, now that I actually know how to use the drawing tools in flash.. but what do you say about the overall character?

    Aya Kittia

    Another quick CG sketch. This is Aya Kittia, the bounty hunter who excels in machinery and weaponry for my upcoming manga project D.C.

    Xup - Is that a game for your course? Or just a personal project? (I'm actually hoping to take the plunge and start building an engine for that game I've been hinting so much at). The character has a lot of personality, in the walk and facial expressions. Looks well-optimized, too.

    Tahn - It's very cool that you're developing your own characters in Flash - have you given any thought to tracing some of those new character scans you posted a while back?

    Cy - your recent stuff reminds me a bit of Fred Perry's Gold Digger comic - in a good way. Can't wait to see your comic!

    Mel - Nice sketch - very dynamic. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a comic done entirely in that graphite style - shades of grey. Might not translate well to print, tho. Will be cool to see the transition to color, especially seeing some of your monster pics.

    I think the main problem with the two robots is that the first one is better proportioned than the second. I'll be posting some animation tests as time goes on.

    'till then, keep 'em coming! Looking great so far.

    I haven't had much time to make up new characters; but once I finish illustrating this book I'm doing for my sign language class, then I might post some of those characters up. one of these days I'll get ahold of a scanner and scan in some of my latest anime

    its just a personal project... i been playing alot of old point and click games like maniac mansion, space quest and sam and max... never seen a point and click in flash so i thought i'd make one....

    /me beats up you guys for sending me to sites with pop-under ads.

    XUP - that truck looks familiar. And what is that guy by the car smoking? Great stuff - the motion is really tight, and the random aspect is also very cool. Almost... soothing to watch...

    Argo - nice job on the coloring, the shadow is a cool touch. I'd add more definition on her head so her face isn't so flat - but the flowing colors on the clothes are very cool.

    I'll try to be posting more pics as soon as work lets up a bit - I've got some cool ones that I want to post.

    yeah all the cars are from the old stickman animation... but the guys around the car are actually meant to represent another pic i drew for the site as an intro... i'm supposedly the one with the hat

    http://www21.brinkster.com/xup878/intro.html

    neways Argo love the pic... reminds me of Dementia7's work... the coloring is great

    Love the female sketch Mel, nice colouring on it as well.

    You are very talented, along with another talented member on this board Coffee Cat

    Everyone else good work, will put something up soon but feel intimidated by all the talent here.

    well, yes, it was the first time when i visited dementia7.com when i realized my drawings could have some color. That's when i started posting in this forum, and that was when i thought of ::exodus:: too. It has a little bit to do with him....yep, but the style is all mine, i dont try to imitate, by no means. Anyway, it's sad that still i got no dvd (d7)....but for me, it's forgotten, that's the price i have to pay for living in a third world country...

    so....your work is pretty nice too, hope i see more of your stuff soon...

    and you too toony, i post something... don't be afraid....we don't bite....except for CNO
