hiya again

some new PA stuff im in the middle off... a persnal project called Kousei. this is the main character, some line concept and a quick color test.. perhaps I will paint it and texture her later, I have alot more characters to do

it looks not very PA cuz its pretty clean still, but I plan to dirty it up

Sweet but she has some big feet or is it just the shoes?

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Mon Nov 11, 2002 9:22 pm

It looks really nice and very well done....

...but it lacks *the edge*, you know

It ain't really so special....

... though I'm never able to draw like that

haha

Kashluk: It's for my own personal satisfaction 8) I'm not sure that I understand the "special" comment. And halfway done works in progress rarely have any "edge" to them.

JimmyJay86: Good call, I'll try and fix that

I especially like the left foot and the lower abdominal/girdel with the satchels attached. Neat.

You take some art class? DAMN!!

I don't draw as clean as that. I draw sketchy, then smooth it out.

Good work.

I think it's very good though. Better than the ones you posted earlier, because this time you paid good attention to every detail, especially the head & eyes are very important I think. Simple, but very strong.
Great to have you around!

I like it too. Possibly, Kashluk was referring to the drawing not being "lively" enough, if so, I would have to agree, but that off course doesn't make it any less beautiful...

How do you create this btw? Hand drawn and then scanned, or entirely in some grafics program?

Lynxer · Post by **Lynxer** » Tue Nov 12, 2002 10:06 pm

judging from the fact the painting has been done with pc applications i assume it was drawn with photoshop.

'How can one possibly make something like that in PS? I always make em by hand, and then clean them up in PS.

I like the colors. Again, very wastelandish, as your previous drawings. Although I'd rather see a minigun than a katana but hey, that's just me!

Kashluk · Post by **Kashluk** » Wed Nov 13, 2002 12:05 am

By the way it doesn't look like a katana to me, more like a wakizashi.

Yes, I know, I'm an expert in spoiling your fun

Yeah well, I aint an expert on traditional japanese weapons but I had to guess something.

You need a drawing tablet. You still need to know how to draw though

Definately a wakizashi

OY! Whats this program you use to colour this GREAT shit?

Bridgeburner · Post by **Bridgeburner** » Sun Mar 02, 2003 10:56 pm

by the look of it some vector based illustrating program like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand. i wonder if you scanned the drawing or made it with a wacom pad...

great skill btw. love to see more of your stuff

Briareos · Post by **Briareos** » Mon Mar 03, 2003 5:19 am

just photoshop and a tablet :)
