OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV

[Gullara]

That's... that is awesome. I can't think of anything to say but that.

[Ninjaman]

Here is something that i just finished. armor inspired by the bonemold armor from morrowind.

let me know what you think.

The shading on the cloth could use some extra attention.

[Vrythas]

thanks, but which cloth? and what kind of 'attention' do you mean. thank you for the input, though.

[A Rainy Knight]

Since Shinon is turning out to be such an amazing character for me in Radiant Dawn, I figure he deserves a bit of my avataring attention:

"One clean motion. No hesitation."

[Terry576]

Due to my AMAZING TALENT WITH INKSCAPE [/sarcasm] I used it towards my Humanities Homework about Transitional Justice.

Here ya go.

You should post those in the MSPaint thread as well!

I'm not sure how great of an idea that is, I figured everyone over there was ignoring me 'cause of the whole 'I'm one of those crazies that likes Vriska' thing.

But I will crosspost 'em anyway.

Cool, but you should propperbly also post the characters indevidually.
Also i realised how stupid it is to quote a post which onlyconsist of an image, and then snip the image.

@ Dorian Soth

That's awesome!
Very nice job on the details. It detailed, but it doesn't look messy, very nice done.

On thing though, the clips of ammo on the heavy weapon guy in the middle looks like its under his arm, shouldn't it be over his shoulder?

Whops! You're right. I'll fix it as soon as possible.

[KillItWithFire]

Made myself a new avatar. My old one was a bit amaturish I think compared to some of my newer work. Still think I'm relatively new at this though. Anyhow enough rambling here he is:

Based off a dnd character I made for a campaign my friend is running. Elf Rogue/Psion (Telepath). Figured I'd post it and ask for advice as to how I can improve it.

I believe added line thickness to arms and legs would help. Also, a bigger lower region would help (you know, the rectangle bellow the torso).

Finally, HIS (artist's left) right foot looks completely flat.

[KillItWithFire]

Yeah I always forget to hit line thickness, should put a sticky note on my comp on it. Anyway thanks for the advice.

i've got a suggestion, try making the cloak a dark grey instead of black, so that you can see the arms. that's what i do for a lot of the avatars that i make that need "black" capes/cloaks, i keep the outline black, but the cape itself dark grey, so that you can still see the arms. if you check my sig, you'll see the two small avatars; neither of them have a black inside for the cloak, its hard to tell, but at a quick glance you can still kinda see the arms, and that's all that matters. just my opinion though. and also, i agree with araveu....(don't want to figure out how to type the name - no offense or anything) that you should probably keep the feet out to either side - both pointing the same side, or two different ways. sorry for the long post .....

Thanks, Having trouble with the feet still. As for the black vest. I like it black but I'll try gray and see how it works. (His arms are in fact under it.)

...No changes till tommorrow though, drunk off lack of sleep that I am I'd probably give him a third arm and say it looks beautiful.

I'm back from a nice 2 month Hiatus, and here is my first Avatar. Its a Psionicist, so let me know what you think and any critiques you might have for me.

[Cealocanth]

So, I haven't made an OOTS avatar since I left to Greece a few weeks ago, and the only avatar I have made was my pony week avi that didn't end up getting used, so I decided to get back in the loop with this.

Since it is the tradition as well as the nature of this thread, let me know if you have any criticism on it.

Nice. colorfull, quite detailled an still look rather lively as well.

I'm more interested in the style of your avatar though. How did you do those hands ?

The hands? Its quite simple to do. I made three seperate lines for the "fingers" off of the original line for the arm and then just played with the curve of them until I was satisfied with the final result. Zooming in helps immensely with getting the curves right.

Edit: I also played with the stroke style and changed the ends to curves rather than the flat and boxy default.

Avatar changing time! Been a while since I last drew an OotSatar too.



Something to fight off artist's block.

Y U SO GOOD AT AVATRINGZ?

Oh yldenfrei, another beautiful avatar to put my work to shame!
Its very neat and soft, and I enjoy your interpretation of the OOTS style body shape (Something I'm jealous of). You have a very distinctive style.

I'm curious as to what stroke thickness you tend to use and how you shaded the edges of the dress and the white tufts(?) in her hair.

My little trick is to not use strokes at all. For example, the legs, which look like a vector path with stroke, is actually a rectangle shape with added vertices for the bends, etc. That way I can freely adjust the "thickness" to whatever suits my eye. It also results in that flowy feel, because the "line" does not have a consistent thickness.

As for the white shading, it's a block of lavender shape (e.g. the silhouette of the tutu), topped by another layer of shape similar to the first one but slightly smaller, this time in white. I then add extra vertices for definition(the creases, shadows, etc). This detailing is done on the top shape, sort of cutting out pieces to show the lavender shape underneath. The result looks the same as a shape with an outline, but you'll have greater control with the look of the edges. ^_^

Basically, more work equals something to be proud of. Excellent job. b

Thats really very clever! I'll have to experiment around and see how that works for me. You have helped me very much, thank you
