Comic Fury Webcomic Hosting - Sketch My Character 2

Well, I finished this in less time than I expected...mostly because I became obsessed with getting it done this morning.

Mez complaining to Solemn, who is not really listening:


Now, I wasn't originally going to have Mez and Solemn be in Black and White, but I thought they popped from the background better this way. But if you would rather have them in color I do not mind doing that.

I think I am in love.

You are TheOneBlueGecko of my dreams.

I love your hand drawn stuff.

AJSdjkshdgfasdfd. You are so good at capturing characters.

Thanks!! Hand drawn is the best (somehow my ability to draw is reduced ten-fold when I try to draw on the tablet).

Your characters are super fun to draw because their designs are so memorable.

AUGHH This is literally perfect in EVERY WAY
you know the characters so well!
:D

Not totally happy with this (felt pens :S), but Hector was fun to draw, so I might have another go at drawing him better.



Tablet is an evil mistress.

:> Thank you~

Thanks! I'm glad you like it.



I think my biggest problem is that I am constantly rotating the paper as I draw, I am not sure how to really manage that on the tablet.

I've never thought about that. Hmmm, I do the same thing - no wonder tablet is harder. You could rotate the image as you draw but it'd be really difficult to get the natural flow that working by hand has. Would turning the tablet itself work?

Okay. I just tried that and I don't know why I thought that'd work.

Spoilered cause it's awful.
Here is Jac drawn while moving the tablet back and forth:


Hmmmm. There must be some way... An expensive route would be getting one of those tablet-laptopy things with the screens you turn around to turn into the tablet, and you could just draw like you would by hand.

Hahaha, yeah I tried it as well at first (sure it would work), then realized that trying to draw one way while still having the picture not move is super confusing.

Now, I am sure that I can rotate the picture on the screen, but to have to go back and forth rotating the picture seems really time consuming and I am still not sure it would work.

I kind of


spin around my tablet
while drawing

:I

Programs like SAI and I think PS have buttons for rotating the image, just hotkey it to the macro buttons on your tablet and you should be good to go.

That being said, I mostly do what Matt does and just move around the tablet myself. It's faster that way though sometimes leads to some odd drawing positions.

AlsoFISHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~ That looks awesome thanksssss!

Do you have a tablet with the screen on it, or one which is blank and you look at the computer screen while drawing? EDIT: I have a crummy tablet that can't do magics like this.

:> I am glad that you like it.

I will have to work on adding it to the buttons. Somehow when I rotate the tablet, but the picture on the screen does not rotate I cannot figure out how to draw.

Here are three of the five free-sketch/art-trades so far (last two will be up tomorrow, sorry for delay) Spoiler-ed for size

Firstly, for Tantz Aerine here is Nikos from her comic Brave Resistance:



Next up is Kael and Cin for Doomy, from Demented:



And here is Jac and Herm, of Jac and The Adventure for TheOneBlueGecko:



Hope they're okay!

That is just so awesome. I love it! I love the shiftiness and the lurking.

NIKOS IS SIMPLY AWESOME!!! I absolutely LOVE this!

Sketches from Ally part II-

For CrackaWindow, here are Everett and Romaine from Augustos:



And finally for Kanela; Demian (and a little Xochitl as well) from Deliree;



So would people be interested in another round, maybe 5 trades this time? The things don't need to be all finished and proper, quick sketches will be fine too;

1.EcM
2.Sabrini Fur
3.
4.
5.

Hahahaha, oh god, I absolutely love it! I freaking love your style. Romaine looks so brutish. Thank you sooo much!

Also, wow, I noticed how you used colored pencil for Romaine's fur and then digitally colored his armor. Or at least, that's what I assume. If not, you found a really nice texture for his fur. Great thinking!

Haha, glad you like it :) It's actually just coloured pencil over copic marker, because I am incapable of doing digital stuff well yet

Ahahahahaha!!
Demian look so smug XD and Xochitl has fallen for him so hard omg, I love this!!! XD
your style is just so cool <3
