mystikal Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 [img]http://images.deviantart.com/large/indyart/anime/-_a_friend_of_a_friend_of_mine.jpg[/img] This is a pathetic anime portrait of a friend of a friend of mine, based on vague memory. drawing a picture completely slanted feels funny and it leads to dreadful mis-proportions. it took me a while to draw the light in the back based on reference (cus I don't know how to draw it without making it look like clouds). The frames look skrewed, but without the frames it will look blank XD. I think it's okay looking. Oh yes, his eyes are distorted too, but i forgot to fix them in the end -.- comments/crits?

Syn Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 The only thing I dont like about it is the border, I dont like it one bit. The rest is nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteblaze Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Well Mystikal, I think it looks awesome! :) Really, I do. It's very good. And I think the frame goes nicely with it, if your looking at it the way I am. I like the moon and the buildings in the background. Um, I can't tell, what's that he's holding in his left arm? ~~ Yes, Darkmoon I now see what it is, it's just at first, I wasn't quite sure.

Semjaza Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Looks great, as usual. I really like the frames/borders you have going here... the only thing is that they do not fit this picture. I think they'd be excellent if used in a Castlevania/vampire/gothic style piece. I think a border that matches that railing in front of him would look far nicer. What is that brown thing in his left hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I wish this was my, "pathetic anime portrait" GAH, Are you crazy man? O_o Great as always Mysti, can't wait to see more. And - I like the border you chose to use... heh, funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmoon Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Lol, I think I might be the only one that knows what the brown thing is... It's a Violin =P btw, while I'm here I might as well give my comments too. I think this is great too ^^ I already told you that over msn (I think... >.< I've got a bad memory, you know that!). He looks cool ^^ Keep it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 [color=#707875][b]as always, you astound me. this is yet, another great picture. but, seeing as how you are so much better than me, i'm going to be really harsh on you from now on. just remember, unless i say otherwise, all your pics are great. first off, your shading is off. the placing of the moon and other light sorces suggest that some of the shadowing that you did is wrongly placed. example: the back of his shirt where it meets his butt and his middle finger an his right hand. secondly, the angling of the post things should be at the same angle of the leggs, unless he's leaning and in which case one legg would be at a slightly different angle than the other. another thing is that his eyes are slightly off balenced, the left is higher than the right. also, the ear is more 2d than the rest of the pick because of shadowing flaws. that's all i can see, and these are very minor. you did an awesome job at this and i'm very impressed.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 [size=1] Yeah, very good picture as usual. I'm going to agree with Chris on everything, and I can't see anything wrong anywhere else. But good job! As I said before, I love your CG skills. Beware, I'm going to get tough on you, too. ::cackles::[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 [color=#707875][b]heh, i left one out. the lights in the windows aren't exactly in line with eachother, which they would be on a building.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evisoun Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I like it. It's very purdy. I'll let the professionals handle the CCs. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikal Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 i just randomly dotted the windows, hoping that i don't have to spend a lot of time on it and make it fool other ppl XD;;... *is lazy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 [color=orange] It is very good. I enjoy everything about it. I know you must have worked extremely hard on this piece so I want to say Good Job! It is very nice. I like the border a lot but yes I agree with Semjaza about how it would be better in some type of other piece. Other than that, I love it. I really do.:):)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 [color=#707875][b]heh, i'm lasy too. i would have done the same thing. actually, there is an easy way to make windows properly lined up and isn't that hard, but it's hard to explain. heh.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadyz Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 [color=skyblue][font=times new roman]Yikes mystikal another great piece...How long does it take you to put these things together on average? I mean there absolutley a freaking mazing...Looks like pro work :D [/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikal Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 uh, this one took about 8 hours? I am slow at this, other ppl draws a lot faster, maybe it's because I chat and go online at the same time -_- But this one is one of the lesser-effort-demanding pics, cus a lot others has more textures than just white shirt and white pants XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
