(Uploaded by Gendaru) Thanks :] Henry's been playing with his food again, even though he knows it makes Suzie unhappy when she has to clean all of the blood out of his cage! (Edited on May 29, 2008, 9:20 am)

this is a wonderfully creepy piece. i guess it says a lot about my mental state when the first thing i thought of when i saw it was 'voting booth' :(

Wow...

Wow in a good way?

I love it.

Very nice composition. I only wish I had cool ideas such as this floating around my head; not to mention the ability to execute them.

You know what, there needs to be a point and click adventure game in this style.

(Uploaded by Gendaru) Thanks Gendaru~ No ref used, just drew from memory. I'm so excited!

HELLBOY I WANT TO GO TO BED WITH YOU
<groupie mode>
stunning. really. this board needs more hellboy

Woo, Hellboy!

I don't know about those horns, though. If they were evenly spaced either side of his forehead, and he's looking parallel to the screen, I don't think his right horn would be that visible.

hellllllllllllllllboy!!! I'm so excited too! I've been waiting what, four long years for the sequel? I love the feel and attitude in this pic. but I think HB's big stone hand is actually his right one. :x (mostly what reminds me is 'cause of Pete Yorn's cover of Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" in the first movie xD ) I feel like I need to go buy HB comics to get in the right pre-movie mindset

right hand of doom.

maybe he's looking in a mirror. Whatever, the textures are sweet!

Hellboy rocks! And your art too...

A doodle of my charcter, Dee. the pose looks akward...

your character is guilty of copyright infringement.

does that strike anyone else as a pretty jackass thing to say, especially anonymously?

The only thing I can see is maybe a resemblance to that girl from flcl. Besides that i don't know any characters with crazy-huge hands like that.

to be honest, this is kind of an ugly drawing. your shading is pretty good, but the legs and groin lines are way off. the hands are obviously so :P the eyes and hair are good.

Viral's sister?

lol

wtf I doubt any of y'all could do any better, besides i fail to see how this looks like Viral or the chick from FLCL
dont say the piccu's 'ugly' just say it has some flaws.
jesus

I think if you're gonna be a douche, let's not do it anonymously. Thanks.
Anyway, I like this pic. It's true the bottomt half (legs esp.) are kinda off, but And is also drawing this at an odd angle. It's hard to practice something that's at an odd angle like this.The shading is awesome, and her face is definetely my fav <3
Also, I see no copyright infringement. It's also increasingly hard to create a completely unique character these days, so shut up. If the character was say, an exact copy of Haruko w/ different color hair named "Haraka" that MIGHT be copyright infringement.

When you're doing solids, you've got to be careful. I see a lot of mistakes in this, most notably being the shakeyness of the lines and how generally rushed it looks. Some of the shading is good like on the hair and face, but in other places it looks rushed, particularly on the thigh area. When doing solids, it's best to make it as clean and precise as possible. Now I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but I've seen way too many people lately copping out of doing a background by making it the same color as the page itself. Sometimes it looks good, other times it looks like laziness. Overall I think this pic would be better off cleaner with some type of a background on it.

Honestly, I think what the picture needs is a shadow or something else under her feet to ground her. But the linework here is good.

i... i think its the style?

it's just the style guys... i personally really like the simplicity of it. though the hands, even though intentionally large, look kinda off to me. the fingers coulda been done a bit better i think, atleast on her right hand.. they just dont look as creepy as the left. I like the band-aid on the knee and the torso looks nice. Good job

No such thing as original art, all artists are naturally theifs and there's nothing wrong with that. If you like the way something looks it hurt to replicate it and change it.

Claiming you did it first is different ;O

This pose is really odd, and thankfully you admit to that. Being in a blue void only makes it seem more awkward. And yes, I've seen many people around that have latched onto TTGL style, and maybe thats why some people my see a similarity to a character from that series. But, even if the hands are huge, you have to remember hand anatomy. The hand on the right seems bulgy and off.

thanks for the crits. but like i said on my comment..this is kinda..just a doodle..sorta xDDD;

fearsome isn't really the place to "doodle". this isn't a practice board.

lets all go cry and cut ourselfs now :(

and by the way, i think most peoples characters are guilty of copyright infringement one way or the next.

@anon: i kinda bag to differ on that one. Iv been stalking here for quite sometime and have noticed a couple "doodles" done by the members here, and yet i have not seen them being bitched at for it. Trog: I belive some people have aready said that sorta statement, so if you dont have anything new to say besideds 'go cut yourselfs' then thers no need for you to comment. c:

She's pretty cute for a mutated freak. I love the delicate lines.

I like your style! she looks really awesome~!

Of all the drawings to wank about, I wouldn't have thought it would have been this one. The sweat drops are nicely done.

I'm really sorry to be driving this thing even further, but this would not bother me so much if only it didn't look like an eyeballed copy of the link in my URL.
I didn't go looking for that either. It occurred to me as soon as I saw this.

I know you're capable of some really great stuff that is all your own, so it disappointed me to see you draw this without any sort of credit.

I shouldn't be posting, but if you had just goddamn posted the link to that picture in the first place instead of being a cryptic douche, we could have argued over that instead of assuming you were giving her a hard time about the quality of the drawing or the character design itself. If you have anything important to say, do it logged-in

Sorry about the misunderstanding, but I (the anon that linked the picture) am not a member, nor am I the first anon that called her out. That was the first comment I'd ever made on this board. I dropped by because I know this artist outside the oekaki.

wow, kemonozume hands! i like it))))

(Uploaded by Gendaru) Thanks again Gendaru ; ; I had that upload problem again, so it wanted to upload my turtle. Anyway, Just sort of disregard the bottom half of the picture. I don't know how to draw rocks or fish. (Edited on May 23, 2008, 10:48 am)

this makes me want to watch that show of the guy that drew "happy trees" and stuff. this is gorgeous.

that would be bob ross, he died a few years ago, was a nice guiy to introduce painting to people. That said, this is great, my main artwork is oil paintings like this. I think you did a great job with depth. I like how you massed the shadows together and showed form only in the light. Nice work i was looking over your devaint page and i noticed you had a question about water colors. Something if you don't use that helps is the acrylic medium you can mix with them. That will allow you to do layers, cause otherwise it just pulls off when wet again. Also gouache is nice if you want to put in opake areas. Homer used to use gouache, which if you don't know winslo homer, he is one of the masters of water color. I have been into using gouache on black watercolor paper. I personally don't like painting on white surfaces, and watercolor is transparent, so you kinda always work on white. But you might want to look into working with gouache along with your water colors. (Edited on May 23, 2008, 2:07 pm)

Amazing! O_o

I accidentally deleted a message from Matt that said "oh wow, I love you" I think that link needs a confirmation dialog... Anyway, this is really neat. I like how you put so much attention into expressing both the water and air environments, even the red tinge refracting through the surface layer. It must have been a challenge.

That is a beautiful ugly salmon. It's bizarre how much they change when they migrate. I really like the viewpoint and how the red of the salmon just pops. But, I can't make out whether that tuft of greenery on the right is grass in the foreground or skimpy trees in the background.

I love the details of the background o_o

That's awesome. Very pretty background above the water, and the line where the water begins looks really cool.

I've really enjoyed the pieces you've done so far. Keep up this great work. :)

lol I thought of Bob ross when I saw this too ^_^ I love the trees and clouds =]

Thanks for comments :3 I've been called Bob Ross more than a dozen times, haha

Wow, really beautiful. I love the water line. Makes me want to connect to my NW surroundings :p Really amazing job.

Lord help me, I love that salmon so much haha. Damn you and your beautiful clouds and stones and, well, you know, everything T_T

This is very pretty..even though the salmon are very ugly at this stage...I like the overall though..

hello again this time iv drawn something more promising... anyway...this is a werewolf of somesort, lets just call him Gallon shall we? He looks like him....

Oh my, this is sooo creepy. reminds me of "the brotherhood of wolves" or whatever this film was called...

I agree, good show.

Is there actually a picture here? My monitor can't make any sense of this. :/

Thank you I apologize for how dark it is D:

i like how dark it is, so don't appologize.

I couldn't see how much detail there was until I tilted my screen forward. Excellent work! Creepy as heck!

Cola: that's exactly why I don't use LCD screens. :/

(Uploaded by Gendaru) Yay thanks for uploading ; o; For some reason, when I pressed submit, it didn't send my turtle but sent my flower instead like I had been retouching it :C Anyway, this am turtle. Used a ref, durr

Holy shit, this is amazing! It looks so real!

This is TOTALLY fantastic!! Amazing job! The only thing that could make it absolutely perfect would be some sort of shine or shadow/highlight on the eyes, they look very 2 dimensional and dark compare to the rest. Otherwise, this is FREAKIN SWEET.

Erie, I know what you mean, but in the picture, he had NO shinies on his eyes. IT WAS DEMON TURTLE.

cool ground and nice water blending XD

Holy crap. Dude, you got skills.

this is incredible. What amazing detail. Those markings to the left and the right of his chin are tricking my eyes into thinking they're his mouth, covered partially by a large beak-nose, or even two nostrils. Making him look hilarious.

Literally, this loaded and I went "AWWWWH!!!!" really loud. Then I studied it more and went "WOAAHAHHH!" ...This is just -amazing- <3.

this is so realistic! the colours and everything! <3 i only miss the sparkle in its eyes. but otherwise - demon turtles ftw! buahaha...

O_o Amazing!

dude i just got back from that place! :o unfortunately i was too slow to see the turtle. this makes up for it. <3

This is sooooooo adorable T_T I love turtles <3 I wonder how long this took you to complete :d

O.O

Oh man! That’s super cute! I’m going to that place next week I hope I see one of those!!

D'awwwww!!
My only suggestion is that when you are copying a photo, make sure you have a good framework for all the three-dimensional structures of what the photo is OF, or else little details will end up looking kinda warped, such as with the belly plate in front of the flippers not quite seeming to line up with the rest of the shell.

If you're already doing that, well, it still needs a bit of tweaking, but otherwise, really nice job. This turtle is adorable and the colours are beautiful.

Woah. It's so vibrant it smacked me in the face. The turtle is very cute, too. Awesome.

wow...so nice...i like this turtle

And then I was "LIEK WOAH!"

Freaking awesome.

very good :D colors are nice and rich.

this is so incredibly, wonderfully, mind-explodingly amazing in its detail and colours and light and shadows and everything. the turtle looks so real! and the sea-floor and water in the background radiate peacefullness.

Thanks, Hunsvotti, for the upload!

Figured it was time I drew here again, been a member for a while now but I'm a hardcore lurker. :) I always enjoy surfing the board though, lotsa talented peeps and names I know from elsewhere.

O_o

this is epic

oh mara, you always had a way with watercolors. I love the face especially

Oh! I love that great little bit of bright highlighting on the back and shoulders. There's a lovely quietness to this.

Hey wonderful drawing. I'm writing a story called "Darius" with some dark shadowy forms and I'm looking for some art to go with it. I posted in the forum about it under something like "art for my story" if your interested in helping me out.

Beautifully rendered muscles. o_o And indeed, the lighting source is also quite the ingenious.

Thanks, all!

@jarrod ... That sounds interesting but I'm afraid I'm still terribly busy with putting together portfolios and applications for schools. Thanks for the offer though! :)

Looks like something I would see hung in a gallery!
