Art that sucks so badly no one dares to talk about it

Re: holy crap look at the melons on you it's like you've got three heads

I really like your arts. They make me quite envious of you skills. The lion you drew off the playing card is wonderous, realistic, and such~ I adore the snarl you've drawn. I often refrain from calling pictures sexy, but Zelos Wilder gets the joy of being called sexy, because he most definitely is :D Railette is quite wonderous, and vivid of colour, which is worth a much more elaborate word than awesome that manages to flee my vocabulary D: The battle is awesome, and action-y. I adore the swords, and clothing <3333~ You really inspire me to do better in art with you wonderous artwork. I aplogize for not commenting on all your artwork, and have no excuse other than my laziness.

Do I get points knowing that crabs swarm Christmas Island beforehand? *animalplanet'd*
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

ARGH

why I let this die

I perform CPR on thread, yes?

Spoon: Thank you. Never really thought my random bored doodlecrap would actually inspire anyone, but uh. Thank you, and um, you're welcome? :D

Um so I have been drawing other stuff but it isn't finished yet. I'm also going to be experimenting with stuffandthings in Photoshop in a pitiful attempt to suck marginally less at it, and so I scanned this rather old picture and will be mangling it for a little while in the name of experimentation. So I give you the original, unmangled version in all its glory before I have to scar your corneas with the mangled version later. Enjoy it while it lasts.

is that a fucking dragon

Yes. Yes it is. The shading is all over the place D: and the wings are wonky but other than that I rather like it.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

It's so pretty~ The background is absolutely awesome; I love the gnarled old tree and the big rock in the background, and the dragon itself is just amazing; I especially love the head-frills, the legs and the rips and tears in the wings.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Thank you. Haven't really worked on it recently because I've been distracted like what, but thanks you.

Ghurayena

Mightyena evolution for another site. Still a prototype drawing or whatever but yeah.

COMMENT DAMN YOU ALL ;_;
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Ooh, I love the pose. It kinda looks like a Mightyena/Arcanine hybrid, with the big fluffy mane and the stripes and things. And I particularly like the rounded snout.
This'll look lovely when coloured <3
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Okay then, I'll comment. :D ;;Has been lurking for too long;;

I must say, your art is very impressive. It looks very professional~

ToS Pokemon~ Oh dear, they are so great. Especially Zelosken~

And I just have to say how much I love your fake water starters. No seriously, I think they are very cleverly designed. Pandive is my favourite. <3 The tails are shaped like waves and it is just so awesome and so clever, why didn't I think of that~

The dragon on the tree is really great. I envy your ability to actually draw backgrounds for your drawings. Shading's really nice and spiffy, too~ You draw nice dragons, my friend.

Ghurayena is awesomeawesomeawesome, Mightyena DEFINATELY needs an evolution. And like Danni said, the pose is great~ My only problem is that it looks a little too much like Mightyena, but eh, some evolutions look very similiar. (;;Cough;;Pidgeotto to Pidgeot, I'm looking at you.;;Cough;;) And also, 'ol Mighty is just too awesome to change too much.

Yes, I suck at commenting. This is acknowledged.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Guh. It still looks like Mightyena? Argh, I can't win. I've already redrawn the thing three times and I can't change it without friggin' replacing its face with a cannon. D: People keep saying "it still looks like it, it still looks like it"... I could really use a suggestion here. D:

Thanks for everything else, though. :D
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Mightyena's a Pokémon that looks like it's reached it's final form. Though a few things could make Ghurayena look more like an evolution: longer legs, a bit more fluff, intimidating qualities (markings, especially by the eyes, larger teeth, and other things that flee my mind) looking at hyena pictures and facts could give you a bit of inspration for design ideas.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

...that's what I've been doing. Obviously it isn't working. D:
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Um, well, I know stress inhibits my creativy, and it seems like your stressed. Try thinking about other things, and random ideas might just come along. Applying, attempting, and erasing is a bit ardous, but it helps me. You know what isn't working, so what is working? A darker colour scheme, maybe some spots, menacing eyes, bateria that pre-digests its food, a bulkier female, a tail that eats things (ok maybe not), but getting ideas and applying them is the only way you'll be able to be satified with this. I know you're capable of making the most wonderous Mightyena-evolution. <3~ So you will no matter how long it takes. (Pefectism is occanisionally annoying, but it will help you in the long run.)
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm really not as stressed about this as you seem to think. ^^; It's just a for-fun project, and I really have other things to worry about that are far more important. I just need time/suggestions for a few ideas and I'll implement them when they make sense.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Ah, I tend get stressed when I can't get my art to look correct, and I assumed that you'd be the same way. Of course I was wrong, as I tend to be x3 I'm glad that you're not as stressed as I thought, and good luck on this.

Oh and congrats on a hot thread (though Zelos Wilder made it hot enough already)~
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Um... you could do a nature-defying thing and screw what canines are supposed to look like and make it look a little more like, uh, something like a Lobo from ToS.

Or give it another couple of heads, some wings, antennae, spines, make it bipedal, make it beathe fire or all of these ideas combined.

XDD Zelos does have a tendancy to do that.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

...but it's not a canine anyway. D:

I'm really trying to avoid anything werewolf-like or unecessary extra appendages; it's not going through a type change or anything. It did look a little more like a Lobo originally, but, eh, it didn't really work.

...although, now I think about it, some Fenrir-esque tusks might not be out of the question. Mmm... now there's an idea.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

there is no point updating this thread but shut up I'm doing it anyway

Skip Ghurayena for now. I have more important things to be drawing. Like this!

HP Art Project

Chapter 16 of GoF. Not saying anything else because I already said it in the artist's comments.

you may now resume ignoring this thread (oh wait I guess you don't need my permission since, you know, you're ignoring it and won't see this message anyway)

;-;
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

It's very awesome, awesomer than anything I could do~ Particularly the shading on the Goblet, which is absolutely fabulous~

And the dragon's really quite well-done. The flames are great, they look realistic! I don't know if I've said this, but you do have some sort of HolyKratosGift for drawing dragons. Sacred, impressive it is.

(Psst... Colour it~ Colour it~)

Sorry, terrible undetailed comments. D: I honestly can't find anything to give you criticism on.
 
Re: cardiopulmonary resuscitation

I think it'll look gorgeous when coloured, but I can understand your hesitation about it; give it a go on Photoshop because at least if you screw up, you'll still have the original.

I love the angle of the goblet on this one, and the details like the chips here and there. The shading in relation to the fire is very good, and the dragon, like all your dragons, is <3 The firey wings look especially awesome.
 
Re: POINTLESS THREAD IS POINTLESS [/wrists]

Thanks, you two. Eh, the problem with coloring it in Photoshop is that it would involve coloring fire, which I really don't think is going to work well given I more or less have to make it fit into the predefined shape of the dragon. It's just more effort than I'm willing to expend on it anytime soon; I already tried half-assing something and it exploded with ugliness, so... eh. Maybe one day when I'm not such a lazy coward.

EDIT: fuck what was here before argh, whatever. More art for the ingrates.

Dyrascal and Dyferal

First two stages of a three-stage "fossil" line of fakemon, although I'm probably just going to end up throwing Dyferal out because I don't think it looks "different" enough from the other two members of the line (why am I having such a hard time with this lately? D: I was able to come up with three different-looking Pokémon for the Spraylet line... argh I can't do it anymore) and was really just filler so I could do something specific with it in ASB anyway. They're weird-lookin' dilophosaurs. Because theropod dinosaurs are awesome and why the hell a real theropod fossil Pokémon doesn't exist is beyond me. Cranidos and Rampardos don't count because pachycephalosaurs don't normally eat meat.

Dybelial

Final stage of aforementioned line. Blah blah blah. May color these (or, well, Dyrascal and Dybelial, anyway) some other time.

:[ this thread is not pointless

Just out of curiosity, what are the Dyrascal line modeled after? :o
 
Re: POINTLESS THREAD IS POINTLESS [/wrists]

the previous post said:

Click to expand...

Because everyone always suggests effing tyrannosaurs and raptors for meat-eating dinosaur Pokémon and they aren't the only cool ones dammit.

And yes it is pointless. D: You missed the whole butthurt rant I took out of it, but seriously if no one comments then there is no point to the thread and obviously I should just stick to dA or whatever. Although wait! Oh yeah I forgot no one comments there either, do they?
