[Art&Etc]Bite-Size Randosities
« on: January 22, 2012, 12:37:23 PM »
I say Art&Etc because though I'll mostly be putting up art, I'll probably deviate into whatever else catches my attention and holds it for some random period of time.
Ah right, introductions. I'm EdibleGhost, a random bored spirit wandering around this site.
I'll be putting up random stuff here, mostly for practice, polishing up, and avoid becoming rusty. That being said, criticism is well appreciated. I'll try and make it a New Years Resolution (HAH, let's see how long that lasts) to put up something new at least once a week.
Also, I've kind of chosen a style, though still expect some proto-style tests.
Well, enjoy.

My DA gallery is here for the interested.

So for this week, and the first post, I'll start with a crossover idea sketch. Gee, I wonder what game I've been playing recently.

I won't necessarily not take requests, but I'll see. Depends on my current boredom level and whether I have other things to do.

I absolutely love Blazblue, and totally approve of this sketch. As it is only a sketch, I can't give you a detailed criticism other than I like it. Keep it up! (and make sure you update more than me, which is like, every 6 months. :V)

Update for this week:
This is a style test that I got a bit over.

As for the Coloring:

I'm still trying to work on it. I'm aiming for something with high contrast that's incredibly stylish.

This is where the "&Etc" and the "Randosity" bits start popping up here and there
Here's a mash up of Evans and Albida from Jubeat

I was originally planning on putting up a Nue piece, but it was taking WAAAAY longer than I expected. Mostly because I was heading in one direction design-wise, but then U-turned at the last minute. That being said, it's probably going to be for next week. Speaking of which, I can never understand why people post up WIP pics. I'm assuming it's to gather some last minute tweak advice? I personally don't think that's a good trade off for the amount of anticipation that uploading WIPs kills though.
Just as a hint though, I'll just say that I was inspired by this.

This is the Nue one that I started last week that I was talking about.
Not bad I think, though it could be a bit fixed up here and there.

Was originally inspired by this. See if you can guess why

Wow it's been so long since I lasted posted up here. End of February is applications deadlines hell weeks, as I just learned. I've got to start earlier next year.
Here's something [relatively] quick I did for this week:

Slow updates, late revivals.
I've been re-watching Kamen Rider Kabuto lately, it's my favorite Kamen Rider, as well as my favorite show in general. I'm also watching Decade.

I've been meaning to try something new here. I'm not really going to do like some series or something, but just short short stories with pictures. That's not to say that some might not continue for a little bit. I realize there's some perspective errors and what not, but that's not really what I was concentrating on.

I'm noting a few small skewed perspectives, but instead of fixating on that, I'm more pleased that you avoided adverbs throughout that little blurb. And Reimu's look of boredom is just perfect.

This is funny, it's been about 4 months since my last update. I guess that's better?
Art Evolution:



I always like seeing improvements in anyone's art, but I hate showing early art; it's so embarrassing. But I figured it be an interesting pic.
And you might be wondering why the 2009/Early 2010 one on the top left looks the best, but that's because it's not my style, I was just drawing someone else's picture.
I'd say I haven't improved too drastically technique-wise, but my style went through several sharp turns.
I really want to improve though, seeing such little change frustrates me - that I haven't progressed much. I got better at the proportions in general, but I still need to work on perspectives; and trying to make the armpits, shoulders, and upper arms always harasses my efforts, so I'll probably be working on those over the summer.

Also I like to draw with my 0.3 H lead when drawing not haphazardly, which is why I have to utilize Maximum Contrast Power. Which is why it's hurting my eye since the lights are off right now. Eye, not eyes, since I'm currently wearing a pirate eye-patch I bought at a party store a while back and because I wanted to use it.

Let's see me attempt to update a bit more frequently. How about, say, in less than 3 months this time?

Hey guys long time no see. School, and stuff.
Random sketch over notes.



I don't have my scanner here, so until I do, I'll just use my iPad's camera.
I'm really into Yugioh nowadays for some reason.

Edit:
Also everyone seems to have gotten so much better, guess I've just been slacking off.

Figured I should update this a bit more often



I used to make those eraser ninja things in 5th grade with erasers, red string, and eye-hole screws I found stuck in walls at a church during a wedding that I collected.
I was reading the Post Your Artwork thread when I decided to try to draw a profile view face from a reference pic.
Vergil is there because a friend had Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 in his room and I'm a bit hooked. I'm going to have to try beat DMC3 some day too, but it's too hard for me ~.~

Just a few random sketches when I should be doing Chemistry homework, haha

Demo hooray!!!

Kogasa really didn't have anybody to pair with, I think. This is like a match made in heaven. Both like to scare people, they have a good red and blue dynamic, both stage 2 bosses, both from even numbered games, etc.

I can't believe I'm doing this; I should be studying for my Chem final now.

So I initially started drawing a random girl, but decided I wanted a ponytail Parsee instead.
I imagine that's what she'd wear for a light exercise or something.

Random new experiments, including swinging my pen around the canvas with red, green, and blue for shadows and lighting.
I'm trying to fix my anatomy in different parts to make it look a bit better.

I just bought Arena, but I don't have a PS3 so I have to wait a bit *sadface

I don't know whether this should go into PSL or here. Whatever, enjoy.

Pic that goes with story below (I had no clue how to end this)

   tap
   tap
   tap
   tap


   Small, furtive footfalls tickled the silence in the darkness. A young girl tiptoed away from her bed to the door with deliberation. Cracking the door open just slightly, she was pleased to discover that there was no light at all‑-especially from the room down the hall, from which only soft snoring escaped.

   Now fully opening the door, the young girl stole away from her bedroom and stood in front of a stairwell. She took a deep breath and carefully began to descend the stairs, one step at a time.

   tap
   tap
   tap


   The young girl tightly wrung the rail with both hands as she skirted around the edges of the steps.

   tap
   tap
   CREEEAAAK


   From under her foot, a vile cry tore the fabric of silence. The young girl froze on the spot, and her breath with her. And she endured a strained moment there, immobile.



   Finally daring to disturb the air, she took small, quick mouthfuls of air and then leaned her ears over to the bedroom down the hall upstairs.

   ...

   Still hearing only soft snoring, the young girl took in a deep breath and let out a heartful, relieved sigh and once again focused her attention on her midnight mission.

   With care, she politely removed her foot from off the unruly step as it released another subdued cry. She put her weight into the rail, extended her foot, and skipped over the noisy step.

   tap
   tap
   tap


   The young girl let out another sigh of relief as she finally made it down the stairs. She quickly trotted off into the dining room and prepared a plate of cookies. Sneaking one cookie into her mouth, she once again trotted back up the stairs--taking care to avoid that one step--and into her bedroom.

   With the door behind her shut, her mission was finally over. The young girl crawled under her blanket and set the plate of cookies beside a thick book placed near the pillow. She made herself comfortable and took out a flashlight. Turning it on, a soft light illuminated the pages of the book. She began to read to her favorite doll, which was sitting next to the plate of cookies. Whispering quietly, her voice spread no further than the small perimeter of light.

   "Chapter 1, Down the Rabbit Hole. Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she ..."



   Time rolls along. As the supply of snacks dwindle, even this small whisper is stilled, and the night is once again left undisturbed in silence.

is both your sprite? awesome!  :o
Nah, just the one on the right.

I feel like I need to start drawing more. I would append 'again' at the end of that sentence, except there wasn't really a wet season for my drawing. Then again, these past few months have been quite a drought, so to speak.

The semi-epilogue to my last post.
This is why you don't read in the dark! /me

I think Alice looks good in shades of light blue. And also in reading glasses. And black leggings. So all around, really.

I'd have to say I quite like my hands in this one.

Has it been 2 weeks already? Dang, does time fly.
Anyway, here is a simple sketch of the day. The lower body is so hard to draw.
Though I'm not at all turned on by girls wearing pantsus, I find it a bit cute.

Want to draw and update more~
I'm kind of sucking at eyes, I should work on that. I also have bad polish skills. Stuff to keep in mind.
Here is a quick picture I did over last night and today.
In case you don't know who it is, it's Mare from Shakugan no Shana

edit: Ah, crap. I kept reminding myself to do the butterfly tattoo on her arm and I forgot it anyway. I'll fix that later.
