art spam! :evil:

Okay, I know Elatha carries a crown wand, so shoot me :oops: I felt like drawing a normal one.

I'm thinking since I'm banned from mabi for 10 days (been sneaking on), that I'll try to draw all the NPCs for kicks.

Who's with me?!

-crickets chirp-

... okay then :gloom2: I'll leave you alone now.

Pretty nice. Did you draw these by hand, or on the computer?

Are the wings supposed to be left minimalist?

The first drawing:
-The placement of the hand under the cape makes the arm look too short, no matter how you draw it underneath.
-Neck/head angle in relation to the body is off
-Neck is slightly too wide for the head. Makes him look a bit turkey-ish
-Lifted arm's wrist looks detached

Second drawing:
-The bulge on the left side of his neck, again, makes the neck too thick.
-Where the neck meets the collar is too narrow to support the head

Third drawing:
-Eyes are too wideset. The eye facing the audience is practically on the side of his head.
-Head/torso/waist size issues.

Again, the colouring is nice, but there're some problems with the proportions.

Do you sketch the basic frame and then do the rest?

First Drawing:

[Image: http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu4/Vanoma/ElathaFinished2.jpg]

Is off but only slightly, he's putting his arm tilted back. As I draw my anatomy first, that's how I placed it, then covered it up later.

His left shoulder may be slightly large, but in no way really detached.
Neck's only large because that happens to be my style, I'm a cartoonist.
Again, style for the bone on the hand, I'm not a realism artist.

Second Drawing:
If I were to pick on anything, it's the eyes that are too big, the neck bulges, but that's how I draw necks. If cartoonists did realism, would they even be cartoonists?

Third Drawing:

[Image: http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu4/Vanoma/MarloweFull2.jpg]

his head's supposed to be larger, because he's tilted toward you, leaning his arm toward you as well.

As far as the eyes go, I wanted them placed apart because it gave him an inhuman look. That was done on purpose.

If I were to say anything was out of place, I would say the angle of the arm, pointing out toward the building is off, I always have trouble with angles.

I draw everything in detail on paper, scan and then CG it with the product GIMP.

Thanks! I started out on paper, then draw them on the Comp. I'm no expert, but the more I draw the better I'll get, no?

Quote from Mentosftw;326615:

yup! I just wanted them to be background things, and for you to look at Elatha more.

Before you read this post: no offense intended. I'm just nitpicky.

Anyway.

First of all, your style at first glance isn't very cartoonish. It's almost realism/anime, considering the way you colour/line.

Unless you make your style changes completely and blindingly obvious, they're going to look like mistakes.

Like someone said in Xiya's thread, it's going to look like you're using the word "style" as an excuse to cover up mistakes.

Even if your anatomy is purposely altered, it still has to either have an attachment to realism or rip away from that for good. When you're in between, it just looks like realism gone wrong.

And I could pick at the first drawing all day, but I'll just say something for the third.

Given the angle of the background, there is no way that he's leaning towards the camera. Of course, the angle and direction of the legs/waist doesn't help it any.

No offense taken.

And yes, it's off. I know that. But a point I should make Kazuni, is that all that you point out I already know. I just don't hover over drawings fixing them all day.

And I'll take that as a compliment that you don't think they're very cartoon-ish at first, because I've always thought I suck at realism, so I never try to draw like that.

Thanks
