Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Cheers that looks great. I wonder if you can change the cross style to one a bit like the one on the bottom here? http://redelf.narod.ru/pi/w40k/ia/chaplain_rosarius.jpg. If you can't its fine. I really appreciate it.

Sorry, I don't think so.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
The thin body is, i think, a stylistic choice by DEB, since all his avatars share it.
I'm sig'ing in the rain, just sig'ing in the rain....

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Just because it's a stylistic choice does not mean it's above reproach.
You can claim all you like that it only looks bad ON PURPOSE, but at the end of the day the fact is, it still looks bad.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
I meant that in general, not specifically referring to yours.
Though really, there's nothing wrong with having your avatars turn out like crap when you start out. The key, of course, is going from having your avatars looking like crap... to having your avatars not looking like crap!
My first piece of advice: Listen to advice!
My second piece of advice: Learn the rules before you break them. Branching out and making 'stylistic choices' is all well and good (I would be a hypocrite to say otherwise), but it's better to start out with basics. Trazoi's guide, if you haven't already read it, is a decent starting point.Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2012-08-15 at 11:57 AM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
I cannot second this a third time for four times.
Yes, it's really the best way: Go with the rules, then start breaking them, little by little. I went with Lanky's Paint Avataring guide, following it. And then I started playing with things: Coloring, shading, sketchyness, scratchy outlines, "translucid" looks in Paint. It's all about learning and then de-learning.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
So, messing about with a new avatar, but the left sleeve is really bugging me for some reason. I was wondering if any of you could see anything wrong with it? I can't really place much beyond a feel that it looks unbalanced, but that might be because I haven't finished the avatar yet. >.>

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Notice how the lines on the sleeve border align perfectly with the fingers, making them look like fringe rather than fingers. Make sure the fingers and border lines are off-set and, personally, I'd extend the arm so less of the hand is covered to make sure it looks like a hand. And as Crimmy said, I'd lengthen the arm and sleeve in general.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Maaaaybe the curve at the top nearing the shoulder? Or maybe the way the arm curves in relation to how the sleeve curves nearing the armpit area?
Otherwise the rest of the avatar looks fine.
Need to start normal avataring again.Last edited by Teutonic Knight; 2012-08-17 at 02:34 AM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
I got some new avatars!
My friend asked me to draw his new psion, and his astral construct.
Here they are!
So, thoughts? Opinions? Ways for me to improve?~The meteorite is the source of the light, and the meteor's just what we see,

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Larger eyes, with that line thickness.
Longer ears, not larger, just more elongated to the sides.
That left foot (which is to our right side) looks weird.Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
I haven't posted here in awhile, but lately I've been making OotS-style related art, so I wanted to show them here.
Here is the first one:
Second:
Third:
*snip*
(Edit: As my take on The Succubus' character Elanna, this may be toeing the line on inappropriate images, so I removed it. I could ask the Mods about it.
Fourth:
If they stretch anyone's screen then I will spoilerize them, but maybe not right away.
As you can see, my style diverges from The Giant's style a bit, particularly in the eye size, eyebrows, facial placement, expressions, and body shape.
Since I never use templates, the style of my avatars varies from piece to piece, it seems.
I have more in the works (more Touhou characters!), which I hope to complete in the following weeks. Next up is Shanghai and Hourai, but I will not be able to work on them until next week. Here is the rough version:
And I fifth this, although I have never used Inkscape, and therefore never had need of Trazoi's guide, although I remember reading it a long time ago.
@Cuthalion: If I may, I'm about to try to give some pointers on improving the wings. Think of wings like an extra pair of arms. Bat wings are a more visible example. In stick fiqures, they bend like normal stick limbs, and the "arm" and the "fingers" make up the frame of the wing which supports the skin covering. In bird wings, the flight feathers take the place of the fingers. Others than that, I would find references to help draw the wings.
@Kymme: I don't see anything wrong with the shape of the psion's left boot, but the legs in general could be *slightly* longer, and the foot slightly longer.
Also: Did you use MSPaint (and IrfanView or some other resizing program) to make the three other avatars (The knight, the TF2 Soldier, and Tiamat) you posted earlier? If so, then *right on* -- so few of us use MSPaint.
@Derjuin: I like that dragon, (is it a copper?) although if I drew a dragon the muzzle would be pointier like real life lizards.
@Abscondcrow: It looks like Ichigo is holding Zangetsu in the air behind his head. It should be lowered a bit so that it looks like it is resting on his (nonexistent) shoulder.
Either the legs are too short, or his belt is too low, resting on his upper legs.
His bestocking'd feet need a dark outline to stand out, and for your style the feet might look better if they are a bit longer.
Careful about widely varying line weights; the sleeves and hair have very thick outlines, while the sword has a thin outline.Last edited by Kurien; 2012-08-23 at 03:20 PM. Reason: *Dodge*

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
OH DEAR GOD IT'S KURIEN the awesome.
Man, your paintatars are as good as always. I especially like the last one, it's quite dynamic. I had a small request for you: Would you, by any chance, still have that one paintatar I requested aeons ago? One dude with white hair, golden armor and a molten lava sword?Last edited by Crimmy : Tomorrow at 26:72 DM.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Here is the completed Shanghai and Hourai, although I'm not satisfied with the colours:
And Mima ^_^ Edit: Now with her theme music! (And yes, I know I missed the ribbons in her hat )
And I don't know what else to say. ^.^'
--------------------------------
Edit: And here is Flandre Scarlet, with appropriate theme music!
Next up will probably be Yukari Yakumo.Last edited by Kurien; 2012-08-29 at 08:30 PM. Reason: To add more.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
Well, I can tell you that all of the OotSish art I posted recently are not based on my first attempt drawing the characters; it usually takes two or three tries before I get it right. And I can spend quite a while tweaking the colours and adding shading in the finishing stages. And it is rare when I'm about to upload the picture or have just uploaded it that I see nothing which needs to be fixed. >.<
@Mrgone: I would also lower the saturation value of the green colour on the Cthulhu. Unless you were going for a radioactive green colour.

Re: OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase V
..Aaaaand presenting Yukari! Also: a link to one of her themes: Night Falls ~ Evening Star.
I think I may have gone overboard with her details. Also, the original was 790x790 pixels, so I took the liberty of resizing her slightly in case she stretched anyone's screen.
I think she has probably been the toughest Touhou character I've stickified so far, but some other ones may be harder (Byakuren? Mokou? Utsuho?).
The boundary could use some work. Does anyone else see a fault with the length of Yukari`s left arm?
@Crimmy: I want you to know that I oftentimes am impressed by your MSPaint work too, particularly your bold use of the airbrush tool, which I pretty much never touch. (I am thinking of your Aquatic Week avatars, some of your most recent.) Maybe a tablet gives finer control, but I find the airbrush`s freehandedness inconsistent and difficult to master. I really hope I don`t sound patronising or something, I do think your Paint skills are great.
Lastly, I have a good reason to draw Reisen next! (In fact, I sketched her before Yukari, but I decided to do Yukari first.)
