I was messing around in Illustrator last night, mostly practicing making shapes, and ended up making a decent looking anchor, which I used to make myself a simple logo.

Hey peeps, a small fanart of Dennou Coil anime. Not sure if anyone is into it, but I really recomend this show. There's bigger sizes on the flickr link!

Do you mean how long we have been drawing for?

Because it's pretty much been all my life (at least since I was 4 from what I can remember!). It's been my hobby forever.

Now if you're asking when I tried to take it more seriously or got to an "acceptable level".. I guess since around 2005ish (even 2001 sometimes had okay stuff!). Bleh. It's been SO LONG and I feel like I have barely improved! I need to focus more!

RagingSpaniard, have you ever done Skies of Arcadia art? For some reason, I feel like you would do some awesome Skies of Arcadia work. I think it's the last piece (awesome btw) that just made me think of that.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Never have! I never got a chance to get into that game, but I'll agree the style does resemble it a little bit

I <3 breaking the frame on Gaf

Love your stuff RS, I still remember when I saw that top down illustration you have as your header like... YEARS ago on conceptart

As to a previous question, I've been drawing since I was a kid. I've been trying to get to a professional level for about 3 years or so now. I didn't focus on art in college, huge mistake, took graphic design instead (which I don't even like). Oh well.

How do you people manage cloth folds? I'm really having a hard time. I've googled about it and found some stuff but still, when I try to replicate it I suck really badly at it.

Unrelated but a small fanart of Natsume Yuujinchou (a plot of one of the episodes, anyway)
(Is it safe to link to DeviantArt) I really hate hands.

I am no cloth expert, as I still struggle with it, but the best is to do cloth studies and actually just look at flabric folds and stuff in real life and imitate. Photo refereneces work too.
I think this DA turtorial is pretty good:
Part 1: http://darlingmionette.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-Clothing-Folds-1-176116285
Part 2: http://darlingmionette.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-Clothing-Folds-2-176140835
I just skimmed through, but it's simple and looks accurate, and covers different areas of cloth physics that I think are worth mentioning.

I direct link to DA all the time!

So I updated the creatures again... but I'm not going to post it again since it is huge and like 4 posts up!

Will need to post a giant version after it is done since I've done far too much close rendering.

Really like the above enviro.

Aaah! Thank you very much! Will check them up this weekend, hopefully I can paint a little bit! It's true that it helps to keep an eye on cloths in real life, I've actually become quite an observer haha, I keep staring at hands and folds @_@

Thanks again. :)

Very nice work, you have a great eye for detail. Mind if I ask what software you are using?

I really like rough/chalky coloured in stuff. I wish I had the skill and patience to do it myself.

I haven't posted anything in a while, so you can look at some ballpoint pen sketches of mine:

altaire___feb_3_4_2012_sketches_by_meibatsu-d4olaeq.jpg


And a coloured ballpoint pen sketch:
stop_in_the_name_of_love_by_meibatsu-d4olbe7.jpg

I need to go back and get references on ab-natomy. >_>

I am also still up in the air about a "style", since I don't think much about trying to acheive a consistent look to my art besides "unfinished". I feel like I should be trying to stick to a style and develop it, but I get lazy and just default to what I have posted up there. I want to try to loosen my style a little to get more animated springyness to it and have it become natural, but I don't know how long it will take to make it become a part of me instead of consciously forcing it. :l
