My deviantArt Account

[Leave]

Well, instead of posting some of my art, I figured I'll just link anyone interested into my DA account. Soooo...

http://www.alhodonai.deviantart.com/

Most of them are pencil sketches done within an hour, and usually character commissions. A lot of the older ones suck, but I'm not inclined to take them down.

I run a commission shoppe on another RPing site, so if you guys like my work, I may set one up here, too ^_^

[rasenshuriken]

ooo i checked it out,
theres a whole lot of sketches, alot of em are really good
it would nice to have a few more colored ones though ^^

[Leave]

Thanks, glad you liked 'em. :)

Yeah, I'd like to see them colored, too...however, I'm terrible at digital inking. I don't have the patience, I guess. But when I eventually have a tablet...all Hell will break loose :D

[Tenx]

cool sketches....
it seems that u are a mix of a rpg drawer and a manga drawer... this is cool *-*...
but tablets dont save the word ^^... it would be a lot better(for u xD) if u start to learn digital inking before the tablet come to ya... ^^ there also other ways to paint drawings without a computer xD...

anywayz.. i like it... i would just like to see it with shading and colors...:) ^^

[smoosh]

First time seeing your art works and they look nice too me. Yeah, maybe you should try to colour them as well. I'm sure they do look great at the end result. ^^

PS: It's been a while since I last visited deviantArt. Kinda given up on posting my stuff there. ^^

[saniya]

not bad ur pretty gud:)

[Leave]

Heheh, glad you guys like them. Thanks for checking them out, and the general consensus seems to be "color them." I definitely will try, though I really do need to learn how to digitally ink.

Anyone got any good tips on that account?

[Katsuomori]

^About deviantArt account? Hmmm... well, I guess the link. I think you do know about the link and that something that has to do with someone buying your art (I disabled that one a long time ago)... so I guess it's the editing part that I think you might know of?

About the link... you do know that there's three kinds:

1) http:/... - creates a link for the others to direct access by.
2) <herf>... (@embed) - some sites needed this kind of link to be used to have a direct view of your drawing without visiting deviantArt. (unfortunately... deviantArt provides this link only)
3) ... - Like 2), it shows the pic directly at this post without visiting the deviantArt site... (used for this site or any other site that uses vKbuletin - eg: this site and stoptazmo)

You can choose the size of the art you want to post out by through the options menu to your drawing (depends of every drawing you posted out at your account.

I guess... that's more I know of. ^^

@Katsuomori

i think he was trying to ask abou digital inking... xD

...

@Leave
about that.. there are tons off tutorial all over the internet with tons of different styles to paint like... and from that u can make ur own stuff in ur won way...

to start.. i recomend ya to get or photoshop, or corel painter or OpenCanvas(in the case that u dont hav money or something like xD)

in photoshop u can use polygonal lace to select the area u want to paint... its a bit painfull sometimes but u´ll get a better result than using the magic wand specially when u are coloring pencil drawings...

i recomend u to always paint ur stuuf in different layers cause then u can make adjustments in some selected area quicker... (this will let ur drawing more heavy but it worths)
there are some few interesting attributes in layers properties that u can use to get some cool effects in ur painting... like overlay, hardlight, transparency, etc....

a very important command is ctrl+e (and ctrl+shift+e), this command will merge two layers.. and if shift is pressed togheter it´ll merge all of them togheter... this is usefull when u are finishin or trying to copy some group stuff...

u can also create layers folders in order to let ur layers more organized.... when used correctly u can make stuff and adjusts quiqklly.. xDDD/


well.. i dont know what do u know about photoshop.. but this is the basic... give it a try its more easy than it looks like... using a tutorial to some style is useful to understand some tricks...
im sure lots of people here know some stuff about ps just ask and go for it....

ooh, I really like the character designs and the clothing. Especially the clothing. I wish I could come up with costume designs like that.
You might want to work on the faces a little, but the costume detail and the proportions are really well done.
Overall, very nice. :3

[XenoZiden]

I like 'em. I went ahead and watched ya =P

[Leave]

Thanks for your support and comments, guys...especially Tenx for the good hints. As for good costume designs...really? I must really be improving, then, because I thought was atrocious at it :P Glad you guys like what I do.

[Leave]

Forgive the double post, but if you guys are interested, I added a new pic...this one is of smoosh's Chika and my character, Leave. I didn't mean to portray them in a romantic light, if it appears that way >.<

Anyway, I know it kinda stinks compared to some of my other work, but it was a challenge for me. So yeah, here's a direct link...

[smoosh]

hahahahas it was a great picture leave..XDD aww it was soo cute ...^^

[Katsuomori]

Cute... lol yeah, a drawing speaks a thousand words for me. Somehow it kept telling me it's a romantic moment between Leave and smoosh... sigh. Just joking... if the owner says it isn't that way so be it. Anyway, nice and cute drawing Leave. ^^

WHAT YOU TRYING TO SAY HMM??!! hahas...yes yes nice drawing Leave. i might color it ...heh...

[Tenx]

very good pic...
its pretty well composed...

i like the whole stuff u make.. its very cool... u're doing pretty well with the bg stuff.. ^^

only a little detail, the perspective on the floor of the bridge, maybe is wrong, because we have her support under it that shows one perspective and the bridge itself shows another...

i can trace with colors the places wrong and why if u want... they're are not big deals, but i think its important :)

of course that i can be wrong, if it was ur intention to do that ^^...

i dont know where to post it.. in your DA or here? hahah this time i'll post here... then u choose where do u prefer me to post... and if u dont like critics just tell me ^^

anywayz.. goob job! and keep it up! ^^

[midorika]

Lolz. Yeah. It's nice.
LOLz.
Draw meh. Draw meh.
Well. If you know which one is my character. (Joking yea~)
Muahaha.
Argh.......
I'm really missing out all the fun....
>_>

I want exam to be over NOW~!!!

[Leave]

Glad you guys like it.

And Tenx, I'm perfectly open to criticism...it helps! I know the building is wrong, I kept trying to get my engineering major roommate to help me out with it, but he got confused to. Bah, backgrounds!! >.<

And I've decided to open about a commissions shop for kicks. Look for that, peoples :D

[Katsuomori]

WHAT YOU TRYING TO SAY HMM??!! hahas...yes yes nice drawing Leave. i might color it ...heh...

Hmmm... I don't know... perhaps... I'll leave that to that lol. ^^ Lalalala...
