I don't think you've ever left a comment in my thread

*Search function*

Okay, you've left two comments, in my first Drawthread, neither of which were in response to anything I said or drew. Super.

Now that is the opposite of fair. I've left four comments in total across both threads, and one of those was even directly regarding something you drew (!). But I wasn't really wearing an avatar at the time, though. If you want me to, I can try to pick up the slack on that too.

So, a bit of a two parter now.

So I wanted to try to convey age today.

Quite a few proportions got mangled, though, particularly then the distance between nostrils and eyes.

*Has sixty posts in your thread alone*

You must forgive my thoughtless slander.

Sure. See if you can stave off this descent into isolated madness I got going.

Also dayumn, that guy old! Dem frog eyes.

I will forgive you this time (No seriously, I'm sorry, you'll get my feedback as soon as I think of any from here on).

And the followup.

The best parts about this was probably trying for a family resemblance, that and drawing the structure off the eyes (not shown here though): socket, eyeball and lids.

If I may get defensive, the shading was a little better on the physical drawings than it came out here, I have to remember to be more deliberate and forceful with it. Also ears are sttupid, but that's news to noone.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

I can't draw clouds worth a damn.

I might devote a week to fixing that sometime when I start working on the tablet again (which, by the way, is a thing I can totally promise is going to happen but don't know when).

[PrinceAquilaDei]

So I made yesterday's icture look slightly less garbage.

Also I may be given reason to make up and draw alien ecosystems and their inhabitants in the near future.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

I guess it is just a recurring motive.

Tried to kind of erase the black outlines a little, I should do that more.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Tweet tweet.

The CLOUNS

WERe a distaction.

Wait a minute the scanner is behaving oddly here. For some reason the upper half got a bit blurry and darker. It's too late to investigate more closely right now though, I hope it goes away.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Well good knews, it's gone now.

So something incredibly boring here.

I'll have something more interesting to show you over the weekend, hopefully.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Well. Noone's getting interested in this anyway.

Tune in tomorrow, I guess? and do you think I should draw more on this one?

[Domochevsky]

Well, it's certainly looking interesting, but what is it? A space station?

(weirdly enough the boring ruin from the previous update was pretty interesting to look at.)

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Well, it's certainly looking interesting, but what is it? A space station?

Duuurn, I did it again. Hopefully this is a little clearer. It's supposed to be a space ship viewed from another spaceship, but it's a completely nonsensical design of course, and you would never build a window or gallery like that either for that matter. This (the one viewed from the top down) is a little better but not by much. I'll probably draw more on it (if only I had bothered to learn using google sketchup, it would be stupidly useful here. Guess that's what I'm here for).

That is good to hear.

Skimmed through the thread, some really nifty things here - I absolutely love all the pink bathrobe skeleton drawings, especially this one:

Another favourite is this great looking character, nice pose too:

The submarine/rowing boat drawing is wonderful as well!

Aww, thank you, I think your work is great too!

A slight improvement on the earlier designs here.

I'm going to reinstall Google sketchup tomorrow and see if I can make it look passable.

While the fuel tanks widening towards the end look quite striking it's not very smart, so that will have to be changed. And the shuttle needs much more attention. And I'll probably make the ship a little longer and thinner, too.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Sorry for the delayed update.

I sure do hope noone thought this was going to take just one day.

Ugh.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

My dad frequently tells me I have to kind of fade out and use lighter colours further away in a picture to give it a better sense of depth.

So of course I drew sand again.

Pay no heed to the eraser flakes in the sky.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

So now I'm making up trees. Ladies and gentlemen, behold!

The Antagonistic Brush Palm!

Yet another reminder that I have to be a little more heavyhanded for it to show clearly on the scanner.

Despite, or possibly because of, its highly evolved and specialised defenses the Antagonistic Brush Palm was driven to extinction by burrowing organisms and flying animals native to its world (not really).

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Sorry about the delayed update.

I drew a boat for no real reason.

On the plus side, it seems I have my long awaited new computer now, so I'll start drawing digitally again soon! (also wow, paint net really is much better at resizing than photoshop is, I'll reinstall it later today)

Photoshop for some insane reason bases it's measurements off centimeters and inches.

Also yay boats! No feedback at current.

Huh, that's what's causing this?

Boats are great.

I have really missed this.

My new computer is abusive and toys with my feelings. But I do believe he can be changed. Ugh.

Also, I didn't realize until halfway through the drawing but the banner is in the tumblr colours and now I can't unsee it.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Well this is unusually embarrasing. An hour after putting up yesterday's picture I realized why the banner looked off. I inverted two of the colours, drawing a white star on a blue sky above black waves when I should have drawn a white star on a black sky above blue waves. Bluh.

This one is slightly more correct.

Anyway, drawing these flags has warmed my heart for the SAI brush tool and its blendy nonsense, so I guess that's good.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Clouds, man.

And skies too. So this will probably be happening for a while now.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Sky got a little garish and cyan here, but the clouds are good, I'd say.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

I've already told you how stupidly proud I am these hot air balloons.

Maybe I'll even do something more substantial with them some day.

Clouds didn't turn out quite as good though. It's probably time to lay of the airbrush like a proper artist.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

So I made this great picture of a couple of snow-covered pinetrees.

Hold on a second...

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Very sorry about the missing update. Started on this one yesterday, and finished it today.

[PrinceAquilaDei]

Using the same colours on the clouds as on the sky, or at least closer colours, seemed like it produces better results, so then I tackled a much to difficult subject in much to little time and I don't know what to think of it.

Well, there are colours on a screen now, anyway.

Well, if you ever got any good, maybe he'd deign to comment?
Nah, you know I love and respect you, Thanq.

Prince, my dissapearance is directly related to my having every possible tab on my browser full of things I can't risk losing. I can't view anything >_<

I am here though. Biding my time for when it is available.

[Thanqol]

Well, if you ever got any good, maybe he'd deign to comment?

It's a learns to draw thread. I'm not meant to do good things. I'm meant to make horrifying mistakes that serve as examples to myself and others.

On that matter, sorry that I never left the critiques I promised before. I was planning to magically become insightful and stuff when you got done with the pony training ground, but then you started drawing other animals and fantasy creatures, and I don't really have anything useful to add there. Sorry.

Thank you SiuiS, I was beginning to wonder. Take whatever time you need.

Anyway, this got better than I expected.

I'll draw something more interesting than clouds for you soonish.

Hah, I'm at a similar loss for your forays into skyscapes.
