Nikita's Art Dumpage [Beware if you have 56k!]

[nikita]

So, everyone else's doing it...>_>;

Here, I'll post two for you guys (It's all pencils though, folks. The inking process is moving slowly, so I'm wondering if y'all have any suggestions to remedy that X3)

This is a ninja I drew about a month or two ago:



I scrapped the idea for her design and changed it, though....

btw, this ain't it. This next one is a rough sketch for an album cover of an original techno CD my friend is making.

i think those are really cool, good work

Your first sketch remids me of a Shadow Ballarina Comando... huh... that gives me an idea.

...brb

What is this exactly? ^^;

...is it just me, or does the second picture look like he/she's holding a giant dildo? *mindgutter*

I think it's pretty obvious; a Shadow Ballarina Comando, no?

Heheh.  I'll post it as soon as I draw it.

I'll call her Betty Ballet.

MORE Art-eh! 



Ninja-chick (second version of the first one posted here) Can anybody make out what's that around her waist?

Is it just me, or does she look at tad stoned? o_O

Use Illustrator. The linework's simple enough to where you can blow through it in less than an hour probably.

I've actually found photoshop's pen tool simpler to use (at least to me, and currently anyway). I'm still not that familiar with certain things in Illustrator, but I'm pretty proficient in Photoshop. So, knowing that it isn't the program to do it, I'm using Photoshop anyway. ^^;;

Even with all that, I'm probably not gonna have an inked work up until late August or even the beginning of September....ah, suck >.<;

And now, exactly what I posted in the main art thread.

[iforgot120]

Her boobs are a little too low.

AH... I mean... did I notice that? I was just... restating what that other guy said. Ya.

What other guy? What are you talking about? O_o

Yeah, I was originally going for the "binded" look, but now that I see it, yeah, they do look a little low...

...I'll have to work on that, won't I? ^_^;;

You've said that you'd fix this, and I ranted about this somewhere else, but fix the hair, especially those two uplifted bangy things They don't look real.

Also, make the neck wider/thinner, depending on which of those two left neck lines is the real one. And make her shoulders a little bit wider. Real girl's shoulders aren't that small, and if she was a samurai, they'd be wider than real girls shoulders. But don't make then samurai chick wide. That's creepy. Like female body builder creepy. o.O

OK, I'm definitely doing the hair and the bust, maybe the neck, but the shoulders are a little iffy: in all honesty, she's not samurai (look at the head she's packin'!), and I was going for more of a lithe build...idk, something smaller and sleeker. She's fast, not strong.

Eh, just a character sketch anyway. Though I gotta say, this is the best critiquing I've gotten in awhile (all things considered), so thanks lots anyway.

One last thing I noticed was this: the legs are a little off...I'll be working on THOSE as well
