Just thought I'd post some of my artwork from deviantart.

These are some of the works I was pretty happy with (or at least at the time I drew this and that.








(Pyras' character)

(I actually had been given a job to illustrate for a client who writes children's books on caring for the environment, in this case learning about the life cycle of a frog.

Yeah I shamefully altered a photo of a factory for the background. Like I said, backgrounds are not my strongest skill.



I was trying to learn how to draw elderly people, as most of my artworks consist of young anime-esque characters. It's NOT easy...

Painter 11 is one of my best friends. I love the Digital Watercolour brush the most.





One of the examples on why I need to improve on drawing profile shots...

Manga Studio is another one of my best friends.

Practicing drawing hands.....had to use my hand for reference...

Yes, I like Pokemon....ones that are easiest draw that is...

More Pokemon art...

One of the few colouring jobs I'm happy with. Though I was too lazy to draw my own lines at the time....

One of the few Painter jobs I'm happy with.

Wow thats... wow.

Glad to have your here with us.

[(Pi)]

good looking stuff.

if you're having trouble with backgrounds, i'd like to see more of them from you, so we can get a better idea of what's holding you back.

[JCee]

Mostly it's because I have horrible perspective ^^;

[(Pi)]

draw cityscapes and urban settings. post them here, i'm sure more than a few of us would be able to offer help.

[JCee]

Okay...I'll do that.

[jho]

photo background is a no no no no no

everyone sucks at something, practice makes perfect! dont be scared of perspective!

[JCee]

Yeah, I realize that.

I'm just very embarrassed to show my weaknesses.

[ClassicGuardian]

Yeah, I realize that.

I'm just very embarrassed to show my weaknesses.

Oh don't be :3 there's lotsa people who wanna see em so they can suggest stuff to make it less weak. Or maybe even a strength someday!

And plus, it's really not that hard, perspective is pretty cut and dry and can be fun if you play around with it. There's a thread here on perspective here and it's pretty in depth, so if there's something you want to know about general perspective it's probably in there. I would say go play around making up environments made from blocks and maybe some stock photos based around these rules and stuff hehe

Anyway I guess there's that and I don't know enough about bodies to really suggest anything to improve on there but in my eyes I don't see anything that's too glaring about your characters. Except I do feel like some of the eyes seem a bit far apart, maybe you might wanna think about that but that's all I think I'd have to offer.

[JCee]

Cool, thanks for the link.

The eyes being a bit far apart? Hmm...funny, it didn't feel that way to me. But yeah, I'll take another look at that.

[Leave]

My favorites from are the Pokemon shots and that Aladdin looking girl. Mostly the latter, that is a pretty sick illustration.

I agree the eyes are a bit far apart in a lot of these, I would definitely give that a look.

[JCee]

Thanks. The 'Aladdin-looking' girl is from Thief and the Cobbler.

[Krissy]

Its always fun to see people post stuff up and see how excited they get. You're enthusiastic and thats a good step towards having a good attitude in drawing and in general. What I noticed besides the lack of background was a consistent lack of feet as well~! I'd like to see more dynamic full body shots since a lot of the stuff you have drawn look like stiff poses/pinups.

[JCee]

Thanks.

I can't draw feet to save my neck (I find them harder to draw than hands in fact), which again is another weakness I don't like exposing.

[(Pi)]

TAKE CHANCES! MAKE MISTAKES! GET MESSY!

[JCee]

So true, and so funny at the same time.

[JCee]

Just random crap of G.Swan, nothing too special.

The first one was when Pascaline was still in Ballet School. Her hair was a little longer then.

The second...I like colouring the lines disney-style at times.

The third one...was my mega-OOOOOOLD design for her when I was still in high school....so glad I changed her XD

The fourth you may have already seen when she was still in the incubator. I thought I'd give you a close up of her.

[Cherubas]

It's like a photo shoot! It's funny you mention disney though cause I got the disney princess vibe from the third one... Down to a point, obviously. XD

I think it's the hair and the sleeves. It's neat to see all these different takes though.

[JCee]

Practicing drawing G.Swan using Painter 11's pens and pencils.

[JCee]

Just more practicing crap in Painter 11.

I think I'll be using Painter to draw my comics next time, it gives the drawings a more organic feel.

[JCee]

A character I want to create in the future.

[JCee]

Nightlife version of G.Swan, hanging out at the Crimson Orchid bar.




This is Kore (prnounced kor-ray), a knife wielding OC I had for a couple years. She's another character I considered adding in the future. I did this back when I didn't know shit about how to properly adjust brushes on PS. Also used a lot of awful default textures then too...

More blasts from the past.

I drew in Manga Studio Debut 4 to practice the maru pens and the like.

[JCee]

Some characters for Pyras' Legends of Shyuu: Return of Dabunraki



A mini collab between Pyras and I, as a birthday present for a friend back on DA.



You've seen this before, but I wanted to place it here anyway.



Practice with Kung Fu Poses.

[JCee]

Same character from above, just in an alternate costume.

[JCee]

Some new and really old crap works. If I had reposted some before, I apologize. I kinda lost track of what I posted here before.
