Shadow RAWKS

My favourite Sonic themed image. You have to wonder what Sonic and friends get up to when they aren't saving the world. One possibility is that they play games... and Guitar Hero seems kinda appropriate, doesn't it?

Ready to feel my pain?

My favourite Naruto themed image. Naruto seems to have been aquiring new techniques pretty quickly recently, one of which is the amazing ability to draw on the power of nature, resulting in Sage Mode.

Critiques


First of all, I'd like to congratulate the artist here for a stylish, smooth, and well thought out animation. It is, however, no...

Who thinks Project Needlemouse is a euphemism for something?!

OMG! It's a FREAKIN' Journal!

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 18, 2009, 11:43 PM



It's been a while, hasn't it? I don't update my journal much anymore. I guess I don't upload art as much as I once used to either.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be going... Somewhere at 9, so I'm really just filling time, seeing as I woke up early. Like, WAY too early. It's a real pain when that happens.

Anyway, being up so early does have it's bonuses. It means I can get on with doing... Stuff. Like art. Or just playing games. Or something. You know? I DID have something I actually wanted to write about when I started, but I just can't remember what now...

So, who's interested in Final Fantasy? I'm sure, if you are, you already know about XIII's release date. It's 9/3/10 to those of you who don't know. It's looking really good. Very pretty. I'm not too sure about the western versions theme song, My Hands (Leona Lewis) though. It just doesn't seem right. Final Fantasy is famous for it's beautiful soundtrack, but this just seems... Wrong. Don't misunderstand me, it's a nice song, and it's growing on me, but I just don't feel it's right for Final Fantasy.

I realise there are a number of pictures I need to finish. In particular, the prizes for the contest I held a while back. The trouble is, I can't remember what they were! And I started so many other things in the meanwhile, it's difficult to find time for everything...

On a lighter, less responsibility based, note: Who here has Skype? I recommend it! It's great fun to actually TALK to the person, while you still have that text bar at the bottom (like MSN) so you can send links and stuff to them. It's just great! Seriously, get it! It's completely free! Do I sound like an advert now? Unintentional, I assure you.

Right... Still an hour and a half to go... Hrm...

So, what's been going on with you guys? Very little has been happening to me. Actually, my Birthday is in just 9 days! Who would have thought it'd creep up on me like that? This year's just flown by. Seriously. It's like we didn't even have the first 6 or 7 months. Really weird.

Anyway, being up has allowed me to find a load of awesome music on Youtube! I recommend one track in particular- Future In My Hands (Devil May Cry Soundtrack). I also recommend We Built This City (Starship), but that one's a tad older, so it all depends on your tastes I guess.

Say, what do you think of the new skin? I'm not sure myself. I think it's alright, but there are a bunch of other great ones too, and I just can't make my mind up.

I've been playing Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon recently, and I think it's affecting me. I had the idea to draw myself and a few of my friends as Pokémon in a rescue team! I was "Mattata" (Rattata), Pete was "Peterchu" (Pikachu), Mike was "Elecmike" (Electrike) and Oliver was "Ollygon" (Porygon). Strange, huh? Hell, I may even turn that into a mini-series of some sort!

Okay, tiredness is kicking in. Not so good. Never mind. I should be fine. Probably. Ish.

I think I'll end the journal here, before I start rambling.



Ciao!

Once again, no real complaints about the colouring. One thing though.
Remember- if you work with layers, you can colour UNDER the lines, without worrying about going outside of them. Always colour with MORE than you need (shading too) because it can always be erased later to give a cleaner look. Make sure shading goes right to the edge of a line, otherwise it may look slightly odd.
Another tip- Do each part of the character's shading on a separate layer. This makes it easier to cut down to size, without affecting the rest of the image.
