Notebook Sketches

[Beholder1995]

*peeks into thread*

As always, very good. Although, I have to ask... do you ever go over your drawings in ink, or do you just leave them in pencil?

EDIT::: I would also like to point out that I am the first person to reply to Vulion's latest drawing, and have brought page 25 into existance.

That is all.

[memnarch]

If I might ask, which is your favorite drawing so far?



wondered what others had done; I think I got all of them.

Awesome work V.

I finally got rounf to vectoring and colouring Nameless... although it hasn't come out quite as well as I would have hoped.

Spoiler

Show

I'll get round to colouring Lying eventually...

Phew, this took quite a while to get right, and I'm still not happy with some parts (Like where Igon's looking and that Nameless is shorter than him), but I guess it's done.

Spoiler

Show

Phew, done.
Now originaly, I used differen't colours for the book etc... but it didn't look too good, so I used Lying's colours. Hope he doesn't mind...

Spoiler

EDIT: Dear lord photobucket shrunk that down a lot...

EDIT II: Oh cripe, I made Nameless' skin to dark... Ahahahaaaaa *sobs*

I was bored.

Spoiler

It took me an hour to decide on the clothing color, and I'm still not sure if I like it or not.. So many colors work there. >.<

That's pretty good!

On a side note, I finished my one:

Sorry about the pixalation.

Here we are, one Michael D. Arcanon

Vulion, that is fracking amazing!
I like the dude with the multi coloured hair.

Also, I've finished the lighsaber duel thing you asked for, I'm tired and Lazy at the moment, so I didn't spend much time on it, so it's nothing special. only took me a total of an hour and a half or so, didn't really add a background either. (Or proper faces )

Spoiler

Show

Just kinda basic.

*sigh* I wish I had a drawing tablet instead of a silly mouse, it's uncomfortable to draw with...

That "Larry in the Wind" sketch was pure awesome...

I've finished a preliminary colored version of a sketch.

Spoiler

Show

Sheesh, how many of these do you do per day?

Spoiler

Show

Colored one for ya, boredom has struck once more.. I really should get a hobby.

Edit- Colors fixed, I'm happy enough with them now except for the bottom of the belt thing. I can't seem to get that part right.

I couldn't think of any good colours, so I decided to use a colour scheme we all know and love.

Spoiler

Show

Right, gotcha ya.

...

...

My first Vector!

Spoiler

Show

Well, since everyone's colouring Vulion's stuff, I decided to do one too.

Spoiler

Show

I randomly chose the Einherjar.

I had to make this one in color.
I dunno why, but I felt this was Super Sexy-Dragon's colour:

Spoiler

Show

Sorry to re-show your Super Sexy Dragon, but I redid it in Fireworks...
Tell me if you likez it.

I spent way to much time on this...

EDIT: Curses, I didn't make the shadow around the eye dark enough...

@Vulion: Wooooooooooowwwwwwww...

Okay...I highly doubt any of you will remember me posting back on page 8...But I did. I was vectoring one of vulion's absolutely awesome drawings. Now, for some strange reason (probably school) I never finished. I still haven't...But! I have put some colour to it and I'm thinking about shading it by the end of the week/fortnight.

Here it is in all it's flat coloured glory. Note, some colours are still subject to change...Ie, all of them :P

Ok, I'm done. Hope they're ok.

Plus I managed to kill an entire morning turning it into an Oots avy.

Spoiler

But I wanna know what that symbol is, on the robes, and Jason's has it on his weird eye patch doohicky.

I've been getting serious lack of inspiration regarding a new avatar, so you can drop my request Vulion.
Also, I vector traced one of your older drawings:

Spoiler

And regarding the recent god/goddess thingie...

Dekopin's sort of a Goddess.

Holy boop on a boop sandwich... That is simply brilliant. I will have to vector this. And print it out and put it somewhere.

During repositioning I changed the spellbook for Igon's Scrollmark but otherwise it's pretty darn awesome

I thought I'd avie up your picture too.

Spoiler

Nah, he has other people do it for him. (for fun)

Edit; Still working on my requested drawing vector; schools just a bit busy is all.

[Silence]

I has come to my attention that despite being in the name, I have not shown anything that has even been near a piece of notebook paper.

I remedy this now.

Mostly becuase I haven't posted in a while and I wanted you all to know that I am alive and have not coughed up a lung.

I wish this was of higher quality, but I just feel like introducing another character. Everybody has their own drow, here's mine.

Really like it, although the body is a tad too small. Good job.

As always, very good. Although, I have to ask... do you ever go over your drawings in ink, or do you just leave them in pencil?

I don't know about him but my drawings tend to become even more terrible if I try to ink them.

[Beholder1995]

Well, if you ink it properly, it's much easier to get rid of mistakes and will look more much solid...

[Uncle Festy]

Heh, nice drawing.
… what's the drawing that's faintly in the background?

[Ninja Chocobo]

Well, if you ink it properly, it's much easier to get rid of mistakes and will look more much solid...

Problem is, my pictures often have copious amounts of shading, or shading-like things, and I've never been able to shade in ink without it looking like arse.
I mean, how would you ink these?

[Vulion]

Heh, nice drawing.
… what's the drawing that's faintly in the background?

Just the drawing on the back of the paper I used.

As far as inking goes, I have to agree that my drawings look worse in ink. At least to me.

[Szilard]

I usually don't ink my drawings, because I like the rough look my sketches have.

Use a fine-tip artist's pen for the first two... the third one I could probably ink well with a magic marker.

Again, you can retain the rough look/shade with a pen/marker... just use the right kind. Which is to say nothing of how hard it is...

[Vulion]

I would just like to take this moment to wish you all a happy Halloween!

[Keris]

Which ended one and a half hours ago for me.
Still, I had a fun day.

@V My day was better. I got a new laptop, about £100 worth of games and saw the new Bond film.

[Vulion]

Yeah, me and my friend went around as the cowboy's that sing the Bad Horse theme song from doctor evil's sing along blog. We sang the theme song at every house we stopped by.

It was awesome.

If you wanna know what I'm talking about, type this in.

Very kool! Hy like it.

Man, every time you think 'could this stuff POSSIBLY get any cooler,' Vulion takes yet another level in Badass.

I'm looking for a sketch that was put up a little while ago and I can't seem to find it... It was a suit of armor that was really spiky and evil-looking with runes up and down parts of the legs. I know it was here somewhere...

[Uncle Festy]

I vote Vulion sigs this.

[Crimmy]

I vote Uncle Festy votes for Vulion to sig that quote.

[Echowinds]

I like the proportions better than some of your previous works.

[Vulion]

Nice to know I can still get a reaction out of you guys with a single drawing.

Here we have some more.

Sorry but.... the second one looks like a hippy of some sort.

[Uncle Festy]

… and is a bit androgynous.
He looks good, but doesn't look quite military enough.
Unless that was your intention, considering he's an "ex-military" cyborg?

Looks perfectly ex-military to me. Just look at most jarheads.

[Vulion]

It's all true!

Bwahahahahaha!

[OverWilliam]

Well the reason I was looking for that sketch earlier is because I have a request to make.

This one takes a bit of esplanin', and I will try to do this as un-wall-of-text-y as I can. The idea is that there are three artifact weapons that have been made off with by unknowed persons and have caused a world war of mutual blame between the primary world powers who possessed them. Unlikely group of chosen ones is called upon to retrieve said artifact weapons, and along the way harnesses their powers to fight for all that is good. Or somesuch.

My character's artifact is to be the Tiger Eye Dagger. At this point the specifics of its abilities are undetermined, but it is offensively oriented, and presumably powerful enough that it would drive a nation to war over its loss. The idea in my mind at this point is that my character, for reasons that I would be happy to explain if you are actually at all interested, has very low self-esteem and doesn't believe himself to be strong enough to fulfill his calling as chosen one to save the world. The artifacts are quasi-empathic, reacting to their owners' emotions and intents, and so the former owner (the guy who stole it) unintentionally left behind a little of his 'evilness' latent in the weapon that my character will discover by accident. It makes him stronger, not so much by actually improving his abilities, but by making him more reckless, more self-confident, more abandoning of defense in order to solely pursue attack. After a little while he starts to draw on it intentionally, at which point it makes him literally stronger and not just mentally, and further after that he actually goes back to where the thief was defeated, and then starts adding darkness of his own into the weapin to bolster his strength as high as it will go in order to fulfill his purpose and save the world.

So the request is about the dagger itself. As he starts drawing more and more on darker emotions and abilities, he uncovers a second, and eventually third form of the weapon that nobody within recorded history was even aware existed. The standard form is just of a longdagger, about 17 or 18 inches long, and with the titular Tiger Eye set into the pommel. The second form is of almost the same dagger, but includes a full-arm gauntlet that runs all the way up to the shoulder. At this point, the dagger is connected to the gauntlet by two golden chains that attach from each side of his wrist to the crossguard and pommel of the dagger, respectively (these will extend indefinitely if he throws it, and allow him to pull it back and swing it around for awesome to the max). Also the Tiger Eye has migrated from the pommel of the dagger up to the shoulder on the gauntlet, as well as getting bigger. This form looks kinda spikey in its design, but doesn't yet look inherently evil-- the people around him are kinda shocked at seeing this, but aren't too unsettled. The third and final form (that he discovers anyway, there may be more) has the gauntlet stretching up into a mask that covers his face up to the nose and wrapping around his neck down to his collar bone while also turning the weapon itself into more of a shortsword than a dagger, making the blade longer and wider, having runes down the flat of the blade, and adding a more elaborate grip and hilt. By this time it's flatly obvious that the thing is evil, with the spikes getting more pronounced and the overall design just looking demonic.

Dangitt, blew the 'non-wall-of-text' deal, didn't I? I apologize, it's just that I can almost see this thing in my head and I want to communicate what I'm visualizing as best I can. Can you help me out, Vulion? This would really mean the world to me.

[Echowinds]

Well, I am not Vulion, but I sketched the above description really quickly for fun. Of course, it's vastly low quality sketch.

Which reminds me I actually do a bunch of sketches but I never post much of them.

[Vulion]

Phew, wow, this is gonna be a bit of a challenge.

I'll take it!

@Echowinds: Very nice.

EDIT:

Here is the preliminary design for the dagger. I just wanted to run it by you OverWilliam before I proceeded.

If you don't mind, can I use this thread to sometimes post my own stuff? I suppose there's an Arts and Craft showcase, but no one really comments there. It's really annoying. I post too little sketches to do my own thread either.

I think I could share this thread. Please go ahead.

P.S.

The fact that I really enjoy your work helps you a lot.

[Echowinds]

Thanks.

Do tell if you want anything coloured, if I have the time I can do it.
