Artwork and Stuff

No, no, that Vader-melon is good. That vertical lines on it are neat.

 

Yeah, the ottermalon looks pretty good

 

I don't have as much experience and talent as these professionals ^
(Those facial expressions are amazing ElecMaw...)

Thanks! Your watermelon is pretty beautiful, too!
I might put a tutorial on expressions when i have the time.

And Randolf, i started on this piece shortly after making the expression sheet. I just have very little time to work on art anymore.

 

I would love to, but i think it would take an eternity to do them all. I can draw some of them, if you guys have any you'd like to see colored in.

Actually, Why don't I do the inking for you, then you can just do the coloring? It could split your time in half(I'm pretty decent at inking).

Are you going to ink them, as in with actual ink or with digital tools?
Anyway you do it, go ahead. Keep in mind i usually use flat colors, so it's not going to be much effort on my part.

 

I see you left this poor thread...

...

Not really... Okay, kinda.
Right now my the little knobs on the side of my stylus broke off. I can still draw with it but with the hotkeys gone, it's a real hassle to draw anything efficiently. Doesn't help that i'm busy with another big drawing... So i'm just going to have to buy a new one, but i can only find them on the internet for outrageous prices. Blah.

And it's just that you draw so fast.

 

Such a majestic drawing.

 

Wow, Randolf. When ElecMaw said you drew fast, he wasn't kidding XD

Have you tried looking in electronics stores like Best Buy or Radioshack, or maybe an art supply store perhaps(I too have a drawing tablet, but I hardly ever use it . But when I do, I take care of it like it's my baby)?

 

Here's something my friend drew for me of my OC, Wilfred.

His tie can turn into a scythe

Heres a link to my friends dA page

 

Wow, that's really nice! What are those things on his head?

 

My guess is antennae.

 

You guessed correctly

 

As I progress with 3D modeling, every once in a while I will take what I've got, screenshot it, and put an effect or two on it to make it look even better. So, yep, this is a 3D model, but I used a sort of contrasting type tool on it and lowered the amount of colors and I got this result:

 

Nice one!
It doesn't look like a 3D model for me.
What programs do you use?

I use "Model Creator v5.0", which is a modeling program designed to make models for use in Game Maker, and it can also export as .obj. It's a very simplistic modeling program. In addition to that, I used Paint.NET for making the textures that get put onto the model. It doesn't look quite like a 3D model because I used a heavy sharpen effect that ended up doing cool things to the edges, but you can still see the how the edges really are pretty jagged in places. After the sharpening, I also did some color corrections and contrast stuff and ended up with that.

I achieved this effect in a way that would not work in a Game Maker game AS OF NOW, but Game Maker Studio is going to get shaders in the next update, and with those I can achieve this look in realtime. But, until the update, I can only do this kind of thing by using post effects. I'm going to try my best to stick close to this sort of art style, because I really like it, and hopefully I can get it looking more professional (so expect any future Cave Story graphics/games from me to look close to this style).

 

FrozenFire, that looks pretty good. I remember doing some 3D modeling stuff with Blender, but I lost interest after a while. I should post the only model I did sometime.

 

Here is a pikachu i made for my mom's birthday. (I found it on Google images.)
Also i found out i am horrible at shading with colored pencils.

 

Cute one. Just somewhat small, but I don't mind.

Fork 'double' posts.

 

Thank you, and its actually REALLY big (probably half my size.) but i used the horrible "attach file" feature on here so its pretty small now...
I have a picture of ash and pikachu but i have no idea where it is...

Click on the attached picture and it will get a LOT bigger!

@pika - I feel the same way about Ketchup.... I drain the bottles dry D:
Nice b-day pic. I'm sure it was appreciated~ ;D

 

I went to a deviantart sketch meet at an anime convention
this is the result
