If you fold her legs in front of her loincloth, it will be much clearer. Plus you could add extra detail with shoes. :smallbiggrin:
If you want to clarify her hands being behind her legs, I suggest adding bracers and greaves so you'll see which is under which. ^_^

Uh... how do you post images?:smallredface: IMG from Deviantart doesn't seem to work.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
You've got the code for images right, but you're putting in links to deviantart pages and not the actual images themselves.
Here:
They're pretty good, really, although the lines on the first one are a bit too thick.
And they're VERY good for your first attempts.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
I know I'm probably coming off as ignorant, but how do you get to the link from a Deviantart page?

Does anyone see any mistakes other that the aforementioned too-large lines on the Gnome? Also, should I up the stroke on the Goblin's teeth?
-
Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
For "true oots" style, most of the lines should have equal thickness, including the hair. But if you prefer it otherwise, that's fine, it looks interesting.

The uneven lines were a mistake. Will fix in a few hours.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Love the work with the tribal colors on the goblin. It fits really quite well. The only thing I would really change would be the axe's candy-cane esque color spiral.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Here are the images with suggested revisions. Thoughts?

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Good evening all! The most recent Oots comic inspired me to create an avatar and a signature banner based on a character of Mr. Burlew whom I have dubbed "That Guard with a Mortgage", the name being inspired in part by "That Guy with a Halberd".
Right below is a somewhat enlarged version of the avatar, with the smaller version used as my own avatar.
http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/u...Large_1-11.png
I also created this banner for a signature, but I haven't figured out how to include it as a signature of my own. What can I say, I literally joined the forum this afternoon :smallredface:. In any event I may improve upon it down the road.
http://i638.photobucket.com/albums/u...anner_1-11.png
Though he was just a one off NPC in a running gag, I guess I was just really touched by his genuine concern for how he was going to pay off his mortgage if he really was out of the job. Perhaps he didn't want to be a guard but became one anyways to provide for his family as it was the responsible thing to do... who knows.
All I can do is honor this noble hard working grunt and the many others like him that live in every role playing universe. Enjoy!

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
Welcome Dyluth. Quite nice avatar. For the sinaturejust go to user CP choose Edit Signature (it is the highest) and then write what you want, and insert the banner with the "Insert Image" buttom (the one that is some mountains).

Thanks a million Ninjaman! The new signature is working just fine now!

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
It is indeed a nice signature, next step is to reduce it from 132 px to the rules maximum of 120 pixels in height for signature images outside of spoilers. :smallwink:

I actually prefer your Ephraim over your Amelia.

Thanks Rose. (Is that an okay shortening? It's not the one you prefer, but it follows the basic criteria.) Coming from you that... um...
That actually means a lot, because your avatar looks bloody AMAZING.

Actually if you click over the colored part of my sig you'll understand why it's my abbreviation of choice. August is my preference, the pink haired part is a reference to a quote.
And I love the doll-y avatars, they are so cute, that's one of the reasons I'm changing my current one.
And thanks for the compliment, I love retouching Ribonis once in a while so she kinda evolves along with my art, though she is taking a break.

2) Related to art,
-It would be better if you used straight lines for separation of panels and the general outline.
-If you are going to parody the characters, you may want to trace them directly from the comic.
-The scaling on the cigar is wrong, the size warps in the process of three panels from minuscule to REALLY MINUSCULE to absolutely gigantic.
-The speech bubbles and the text look wrong, I can't even read what Haley is saying in the first panel.
Conclussion: Get Inkscape or other alternatives, Inkscape is the Playgrounds software of choice as it's free, versatile and relatively stable.

I'm pretty sure that their policy is as long as you made/wrote it, then it's not infringing on anything as you aren't profiting from it or anything like that anyways.

Probably accounts for parody purposes, therefore allowed.
And if it wasn't, I guess it would be allowed on it being awesome, saw it found it rather nice.

Try working by making individual characters before making a whole strip.
For the explosion there is a tutorial on making fire on the first page, try to make it a fire but apply a lot less transparency.
As for the smoke, try to apply memnarch's take on making fire but make it grey instead of red.
Also the tags are your friend for making images easily accesible, if it's too big add tags.

(First version)
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...Swordsage2.png
Thought I'd share it here; it's a half-elf swordsage, an experiment with attempting to infuse fluid motion into an avatar. How fluid does it look?
Edit: Swordsage updated, now with a more believable sword path :smalltongue:
-
Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
I did a thing. More experimenting with different styles (head, perspective, motion, lines/no lines). No particular character, inspired 'cause I was playing 358/2 Days.
EDIT: Huh, looking at the larger again, the back leg does look a little odd :/
Anybody got thoughts/suggestions for improvement?

Pretty fluid, except the movement thing for the sword, which it behind his head, makes it look... like it took an impossible path to get where it is. Other than that, very nice :smallsmile:

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV
In my sleepy state I have done a quick doodle of a scene from a game I was DMing a few months ago (and might start back up, if I can figure out a way to do so); the only thing that's missing is the adventurers, but inkscape was threatening to lock up at any second so I figured they could be off-camera.
I'm also practicing on illustrating the sort-of big bad and his god-like creature, so the creature's bound to look weird (well, besides the part where it's nigh-incomprehensible to most mortal minds...:smalltongue:)

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I prefer to do the shapes and transparency thing because it looks more OOTSy while still giving it depth, instead of trying to make stick figures realistic with orb-like gradients.
