The lady next to William overheard us talking about inking and such and she said one of her favorite example is Kojima Ayami, who did Castlevania stuff. I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome, just look at those gloves and cloak!
I went to fanime today and saw William! So I stopped by and said hi, and got this sweet commission piece (I couldn’t really decide, it was this or Tintin or something else)!
I was super impressed with it, and then I talked to him about inking and stuff and he gave me some really nice tips. He was a cool guy! (:
Woops a whole weekend wasted on relaxation lol.
So I went to smackjeeves cuz I loved reading these people’s webcomics as they were starting up. I wanted to look at all the ones I favorited, but then my login was incorrect! So I did everything I did to recover the password, but it said that “no account uses this email” when I said I forgot my login details. So….derp?
So all that stuff is gone for good I guess. ):
Luckily I remembered this comic. It’s pretty simple and qt.
So this poster was at my school a whole ago, and I got really excited about roller derbies. The idea of the sport seems really fun to watch.
For those who don’t know, basically it’s a team of around 5. The two teams are on roller blades and must race around the track. One person on each team is designated as the scorer, and their job is to overlap the other team to score points. Everyone else plays support, and they team up to support their scorer by blocking the other team ala linemen in football, use techniques to sling their scorer forwards, and even crashing into the other team to KO them. Super entertaining!
So then I was thinking of potential team names (it’s all very theatric, as they have costumes and stage names), and I remembered the Moon Stone Mamas from that Pokemon artist thing. Lol what if they combined roller derbies with Pokemon? Bam! The Moon Stone Mamas would use Clefairies and Clefables and their specialty would be using Metronome in their showdowns. Other teams too, like the Sandstorm Sisters, the Porygon Princesses, etc… Maybe I’ll draw some of this stuff.
TLDR: roller derby + Pokemon = awesome
Park.
Check out the use of negative space on this. There’s really clearly a bridge/overpass there, right? Actually, the bridge is white, the sky is white, and there aren’t any outlines between the two. The composition is arranged so things like trees and shadows fill everything out, but they never actually drew the bridge.
Oh yea cool I never noticed that
Wowowow I am super impressed with my brother’s drawing. You should see this thing in 3D too, it’s really amazing to see the different layers jump out at you for the depth - ie the pipe are on multiple layers so it looks like it’s pointing out to you.
Growing up, I only really valued realistic paintings and statues and things. I never cared for any sort of artistic interpretation, let alone abstract or non-representational art. Only realistic illustrations were any good. And I always wondered how such great 19th century paintings managed to be…
Wow now I have to keep my eyes out for other paintings that have the same model. I had no idea.
