Dan Rugh Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I just finished this a few minutes ago and felt that everyone here at OB would want to see it. This is Zaku from Naruto.

SasukeUchiha Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 You already know what I think. I think the word "Godly" sums it up nicely. Now color this thing and add a background and I shall worship you as my art god. <--over dramatic but makes my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanariya Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 [size=1][color=chocolate]Very good Dan, you were always a good drawer. ^_^ Anyway, nice pic. The body does seem a little slanted, but that's OK. *probably scanner problem* Yep; just color it and I'll like this picture even more. Nice work! Makes me want to see Naruto even more...[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Rugh Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 He is supposed to be slanted like that. No scanner problems here. :) And by the way, I forgot to explain the picture. Zaku is a ninja (genin) from the village of Sound. On his forehead protector you see a note... that signifies that he is a Sound ninja. The hole in each of his hands sends air through his arm with the help of chakra/chi. He uses this as his weapon. You probably can't tell now since it's not colored, but his pants and scarf are animal printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very well done. Of course, it would look better if it were colored. ^_^[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stun gun Milly Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 That drawing is superb!!^^ I love the way he looks! He sort of reminds me of a character in a Video game, Jet Set Radio Future! Well I love it! Color it and add more in and it will be perfect!!^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Mage Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 [size=1]It seems like you didnt make a single mistake. Really smooth job ^^. It looks great in every way, I cant spot a error.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godelsensei Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Nice stuff y'got there, Dan.^^ The lines are convincing enough throughout most of it. Only, the hands and feet look a little awkward--you know? Like they were sort of slapped on. I know that hands and feet are very troublesome (it's taken me quite a while to become decent at them) but they really are an important part of the image, itself. Yeah, yeah, I know, this is coming from the person who made a website about pants, but seriously--if you miss something in the feet...it takes away from the drawing. So, I think you should add the three straps that hold the zori together.^^ Like I said--nice.^^ -Godel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Rugh Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Thanks for the comments. I think the hands look good, it's the toes that I don't like. Unfortunately, I have no idea what a zori is (maybe an english word would help this situation) so that piece of advice didn't help much. :( EDIT: Oh, and what do you mean by convincing lines?

Godelsensei Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Zori=traditional Japanese sandals. As in, those worn by all our little Naruto friends. *yay* ^_^ By "convincing", I mean the picture flows together nicely. Have you ever looked at a drawing and just known that the person drew it in "chunks"? For instance, they draw the left eye, then the right eye, then the nose, and the mouth and the head. And then, as a seperate entity, they draw the neck and each strand of hair seems to be doing its own thing. This often happens with hands especially, because, when you get down to the rudiment, you actually have FOUR. Well, it helps to think of it that way, at least when drawing them, or playing an instrument. Have you noticed that your thumb and first finger work together? And that your other three fingers always move together at least a little bit? Of course you have--after all, you type, don't you? Haha...I suggest that, instead of seeing the hand as four fingers and a thumb, that you look at it as two sections that work individually, but merge together. I actually learned this technique from my strings teacher (who--damn damn damn--just retired *cries*) who taught us alot about how the muscles in your arms work. This also applies to toes. Your baby and big toe have their own thing going on, but those three in the middle? There's no way you can move one on its own unless you're literally a freak of nature. It's just the way people have evolved. Same goes for drawing torsos and wastes--they're one and the same. Think of them as a bean. (a technique I got from a site I forget the name of^^") Believe me--it actually works. O.o Same for the neck...it has to work with the base of the head, as oppose to just attaching itself to it. Haha...I've been going on for quite a while, haven't I? I guess it's a combination of my loving the theory behind art, and the smooth rythm of the keys under my fingers... ^___^ -Godel (hope that was useful to you in some shape way or form) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Rugh Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 I have outlined and put base colors in for Zaku. (He's happy inside). I still need to shade, but that will be tomorrow's job at some point. Comments are still welcome. :) [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=546599[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Nice !!! Zaku is soo cool! Just shade and this Masterpiece will be complete. Draw a Rock Lee! That would be so cool!

White Mage Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 [size=1]It looks a hell of alot better than the re-color I did >.< lol. How long did it take you all and all to completly color and?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Rugh Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Well, for my first time in shading, I guess I did pretty good. This is my first completed CG! Hooray! So, I suppose all I have to do is add a background or something. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=546901[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasukeUchiha Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I knew you ahd it in you ^^ Well wortht time time, this looks really GREAT. How about a background ^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Rugh Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Here's the version with a background that I created: [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=547027[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haruno_sakura Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Wow that just looks awesome! I love the subtlties strewn throughout the background...like the sheet music! It adds a nice touch, especially since Zaku is from The Hidden Village of Sound. I really like the job you did on the CG; the shading is just right and it looks like it could actually be part from an original cell! Great job! ~haruno_sakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shippo Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 [color=darkblue] [size=1] Wow, that is [b]amazing[/b] Dan! The drawing itself is great, but with the coloring, it's awesome. The shading is spot on. And I can't see anything wrong with this peice. Very nice job; you should CG more often, your really good at it :) [/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
