I might make one for this month.

Aww man...I want to join in but can't draw even if my life depended on it :smallfrown::smallannoyed:

[Serpentine]

Every time :smallsigh: :smalltongue:
Yes, you can submit as many as you want into as many categories as you want.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Okay, thanks.

[Rutskarn]

Okay, here's the deal.

1.) I was trying to make this image using Inkscape, but the limitations of the OOTS style kept frustrating me.

2.) I checked the rules. Nowhere does it say we must use OOTS style.

3.) Even so, I realize that this is probably against the spirit of the contest, so feel free to scrupulously ignore this thing if you don't think it should count. I did it for fun anyway, and it was a blast to create.

Anyway, without further ado...

Oh, wait. Ahem.

Please put on your safety goggles, put a bucket nearby, and start shaking your jar of emergency brainbleach. Also, don't sue.

Without further ado...

As to all intensive perposes it IS a spoiler of the film.
Some Playgrounders (myself included) havnt yet seen the film.

Also I call dibs on Cupid :smallbiggrin:

Half-halfling: I think if you just spoiler the summary (with "Avatar spoiler below" or somesuch to identify it), or even just reduce it to "scene from the end of Avatar", you should be fine.

You know, it's kind of a good thing I don't have any illustrator program and lost all my avatar making templates and skills, or else I'd probably end up doing something terrible.

I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring, having finally gotten some inkscape under my belt. Since it's valentine's day themed, I figured 'singles awareness day' cards would be right up there.

fixed. In the sense that it's the 'right size'...ew. Any advice on cleaner lines and avoiding the pixelation for future entires and pet projects? And yeah, kneeling legs...it was so hard figuring out what to do (one legged kneel, sitting kneel, one leg forward and one back...I settled on double-kneel for the symetry and avoiding perspective issues)

[Fay Graydon]

Be glad for one! Hoping to enter future contests and make some customs of my own, an in particular the pixelation of the reduction bothers me. Other avatars are obviously much smoother :smalleek:

In future i would suggest working on a 120 x 120 sized file so you know the size you can work in.
then if it looks right at 100% it will be fine :smallbiggrin:

[Serpentine]

Critique and advice for NemUtopia: What program are you using? I use Adobe Illustrator, so some of the below may not apply.

You know the lines are very jagged. Look for a "smooth" tool (in AI, it's under the "pencil" tool).
The lines should be thicker. I generally use 1.5px at 120x120px, but some people use anywhere between 1 and 2.
I'm not sure how you managed to make the eyes so pointy, but they should be round, just using the oval tool.
Closed eyes are depicted using a curved line (inner curve going upwards).
The "sinister brow" should be right down touching the top of the eyes, like so: :amused:
The back is generally a gentle curve, no sharp point.
The bodies should be quite a bit smaller in comparison to the legs, arms and head.
Miko's body (boobs?) is... pointy? :smallconfused: But that's a really tough angle to try to depict. Maybe you would've been better off employing a bit of artistic license and changing it a bit.
The hands should be larger and curved.

How did you shrink it down? In AI, when you "save for web", you can choose to change the dimensions. That way, you can make it big (changing the line thicknesses appropriately) and then shrink it down without distortion.
That's about all I've got so far. Hope it's helpful. It's easy to see that you just need more practice, specifically just with getting the hang of the program.

[NemoUtopia]

Thanks, good stuff!

Inkscape is my current experience, but I've been getting more practice with the pen tool...you have to be careful about the number of nodes you use, because too few doesn't give you enough curve are, and too many makes it jagged and easy to get wrinkling. I'll definitely get more with smoothing and proper resizing (working at ~120-120 is one of those retrospect blindingly obvious things). I was tempted to make all three standing or have one in an 'easy kneel' that doesn't present so many problems for OotS style, but threw caution to the wind to get practice with the perspective change and use of legs. Lots of practice, not so much on progress just yet xP

[Darklord Bright]

People use the pen tool? I just simplify the object (Select the object, Ctrl L) with the pencil and then delete specific nodes when there are few enough to easily deal with.

[Silverraptor]

People use the pen tool? I just simplify the object (Select the object, Ctrl L) with the pencil and then delete specific nodes when there are few enough to easily deal with.

You know Darklord, I think you could put in the comics you recently completed. The most recent ones are relavent enough.

[petersohn]

I use the pen tool, because I usually try to make shapes with as few control points as possible. It makes managing them easier. With the pencil tool, if you use too few control points at drawing time, the shape won't look like what you draw at all, and simplify only works for the first few iterations, after that it usually only rearranges points, but don't really simplify the shape. For simpler shapes, I usually draw a sharp shape with the pen tool first, then refine it with the "edit path by nodes" tool. For more complicated shapes, I use the pencil, but then it becomes really hard to refine later.

[Serpentine]

...
I have no idea what you're all talking about. I use the "pencil" tool to make and change my shapes, sometimes using the white arrow tool to move around and change the angles of specific nodes. Rarely, I use the "pen"-related tools to add or delete nodes, but that's not usually necessary.

[petersohn]

The fact that you don't find the pen tool useful for drawing doesn't mean it isn't. I simply find it easier to manipulate nodes one-by-one than draw a good shape with the mouse at first try. If a shape has 4-5 nodes, it is mutch easier to fine-tune it than if it has 20 or so.

[Fay Graydon]

I use the tool that allows me to place nodes and connects them with lines...
Then I round said lines and make them smooth...
>.> I rarely use the pencil tool.

[Reynard]

I use shapes, then modify them with the pen/single select tools.

[AlfredAmeoba]

I use the pen tool to make magic effects. If you dont simplify, though, it looks way too rough to fit in

[half-halfling]

I use Corel Draw, so it may not be much help, but in most cases it's good to avoid hand drawing ,and use curves made of points instead.

Here's my new picture -it's Roy and Celia dressed up as Miko. This katana is supposed to be cut out of cardboard :smallsmile:. Alternative text for Roy to say was "But I must warn You I can summon a titan to fight by my side". I hope it qualifies as a love scene -it's rather "this kind of love" :smallsmile:.
