Bluier

More shading, more hair, more shoulder :P

Progression

Well, I finished drawing me...
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/34435051/

And have done a little more work on the blue-haired girl. I should probably give her a name or something.

The blue-haired girl, half colored

The scene will most likely be a very cloudy, field of grass or wheat, looks like it's going to rain. Probably some drops falling already. Clothing color is something I'm pondering on, white shirt and black skirt were what I first thought, but we'll see what happens...

Me

I'm putting the blue girl on hold until I can:

1. Figure out a new position of the rest of her body (as I just drew the head, and the body sketch sucks)

2. Figure out how to proportionally draw her hands

3. Not mess it up

So, I decided to do a quicker work of anime, this time more "chibi" like, but not completely. This time, it's a guy...in fact, it's me! :D

Blue

Once again I am drawing up another anime girl, this time, as "animeish" as I can. :P Uhm...yea. Also, no tracing from video game sprites. ;) Here's what I've got so far...

There you can see the 2 differences between me drawing the lines by hand in Photoshop (first image) and then me doing that same line with the pen tool and the "simulated pressure" option (second image). Obviously, doing it by hand is crap, which is why I prefer drawing stuff in Flash (as Flash will auto-smooth what I draw for me, unlike Photoshop).

Again

SATs tomorrow...
Internet constantly dropping...yet school is over and I'm off of work. I guess it's all balancing out. :P

Drowning

I dropped my cellphone in the toilet yesterday. It was an accident, my sweater's pockets are pretty much horizontal and it just fell...-.-

1 more week of school. Actually, I plan on finishing by Friday. :P

Queen

I guess you can't really call her "King of Fighters" but whatever! It's the name of the game :P Here's a wallpaper I made myself of a completed (for the most part I suppose) Vanessa. Image quality is probably a lot crappier once I upload it here...



2 more weeks of school left...YES!

Vanessa

All right, new Photoshop progress. Her name is Vanessa, she is one of the characters from King of Fighters (2002).


Now this IS a trace. As much as I hate to admit it, for the first time in a long time, I traced the character, although, you gotta see it wasn't a line for line type of deal.



As you can see, I didn't have a WHOLE lot to work with. A very pixellated picture is the only reference I have in terms of color and for a vague outline. The gray outlined human shape though was made by me, to try and get the proportions right. I can pretty much draw it on paper now, although usually I'll get something wrong (legs too short, torso too thin). So its not a compelete trace, but its enough to have my sister rag on me. :P Either way, this wasn't really about drawing an actual person (like you might consider my other military chick to be) but more on the coloring. I'm trying to get the shading on the skin, hair, and clothing, as good as possible. With some help from some Deviantart tutorials I found, hopefully I can become a little better at it ;)

Completed

Well, I finished the military chick, generally speaking. I might tweak some more shading, and add it to a wallpaper or something of the sorts, but I'm pretty much done. :)

Vectorized



There you go. Finally finished (or pretty much finished, might smooth out certain parts, etc.) the outline. Redone completely with the pen tool, for the vector smoothness...now for more shading!

Newer

I released a new version of GMSokoban HERE.

Now with a menu, auto-saving, and uhm...some lil code fixes you probably won't even notice...

Sokoban

Yea, so no drawing updates. I redid the shading, this time with layers and stuff, I think it looks good. Outlining is a pain and I don't know what to do. Vector is hard to do in Photoshop, and the outline is just not coming out right...

Anyway, my main thing is I've been working on a version of Sokoban in Game Maker. If you wanna try it, you can get it from here. So far I got all movement working, level loading, and there's manual saving and loading, which I will try to automate a bit in the future. Maybe all add scoring letr on :P

Shading

You can see here the beginnings of my shading. I started in the head/hair region.





Which one looks better? Second has a lot more shading, especially trying to get the hair right...

Colored



There, I'm pretty sure I'll keep this hair color, you can already see some highlighting in there too...

Friday, April 07, 2006

Outlined

Ok, so I'm done doing the main black outline...





Now it's time for some color!



This is just the base colors (may change em too, hair color, or clothing combo) either way, after that its time for a WHOOOOLE lot of shading (which I've pretty much completed on the eyes, even though you may not see it well in the picture).

Soldieress

Well, here's my Photoshop project for the next...whatever amount of time it takes me. :P A sketch of an anime-ish military lady, wielding guns! Great...here's what I've outlined so far...







As you may see, I started from head, and then went to legs, and avoided the...lady zone. :P Tomorrow I will have to or else I will never finished. I'd just feel weird drawing in that zone, undoing and redoing it because the stupid curves in Photoshop come out like crap...I may use the polygon tool for that...we'll see -.-

Agog

Well, I took that darn test known as the SAT on April Fool's Day. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but definitely something I don't want to waste my morning doing again :P So we'll see what happens when the scores arrive on the 17th, and whether I'll register for the June test or not...

Anyway, Spring break is coming! w00t!
