Yeah, usually most of my stuff don't look like that. Prior to this, I've only used Photoshop sparingly (as in almost not at all). After seeing what jiggle did however, well I just had to delve into a bit more. I finally know what 'burn' and 'dodge' is used for and may have gone overboard a bit.Saturnman said:
Speaking of WACOM tablets...
I've asked in the past but I figured I'd try again. I'm on my second tablet and I've run into the same problem I had with my first. After about a week of it working fine, out of nowhere the tablet suddenly stops functioning correctly. Whenever I use it the pen somehow draws even when hovering half an inch above the tablet. And no matter how I change the sensitivity preferences it does not fix the problem. I've tried repatching, using different patches, and have even reformatted my PC since then. No luck.
It's a Graphire.3 4x5. Anyone experienced this? I've contacted WACOM and they just say "clean the pen" =P

To be honest, I have only tried using it on my home PC. I've been intending to bring it over to a friend's place and try it there but I keep forgetting.
But yeah, the first one I had was the exact same model. It worked for a week... then I had this error and replaced it at Frys... then the same thing happened with the new one Although I have only tried it on my PC, I did reformat and even switched from Windows 98 to Windows XP after my second pad stopped working... but still have the same exact problem. >_<
Trying to talk to the company and see if I can send it in to them for repair, but they seem to be really really slow in responding to my emails.

Man, that sucks. I hope everything turns out for the best.
Definitely look into seeing if it works on your friend's computer. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest giving them a call if they've got a toll free number. In my experience, getting tech help via phonecall shits all over getting help via email.

I don't know if this bears any similarities to your tablet problem, but mine does have a little quirk. It may be from my having dropped it on a concrete surface by accident, but I'm not sure. It seems that if I place it on the surface of my computer desk, right underneath and a couple inches in front of my moniter, the cursor will wiggle rapidly between a couple pixels. This is even when I'm fairly certain that I'm holding it steady. If I move it back a few more inches, and place it on top of a book on top of the keyboard/mouse shelf of the desk, it does not have this problem. It only happens when I've got the stylus near the thing either way. I'm wondering if perhaps there is some sort of interference from speakers (my speakers are right up against the moniter too) or a moniter that can do odd things to a tablet.
Laguna X:
I was already planning on updating the random storyboard many times before the 1st of 05. However, I can't put up sequences (at least, not in order) because the short film is to short to be putting up spoilers. I like the idea of trying to puzzle the story together.
3rd Sky will be split into 2 parts, both being about 5 minutes in length.

NOOO don't die!
Anyway, I'm glad I decided to add something, because I didn't see sporks' photography the last time. I love that grass one and its grit, as well as the sense of depth and scale with your GF sort of opening the door with a shocking expression in the other photo.
I finally added a few things to the tree I did earlier because I had soc. class again today. haha
I spilled some body spray on the tip of the tree and it washed out the far left corner *_* It's okay, though, I'll survive. It's not too big of an error -- I might be able to work around it.
Wah, I just scanned through and finally saw leguna's Hulk -- I like the color contrast. It was a broken link the first time I went through this thread.
Blacklion: I could never get a good grasp of how to convincingly make tech look ... er.. convincing. I've tried and tried, but it just seems like a sloppy mess with parts that don't look they serve a meaninglful purpose.

Yea, I am. ^_^ I never really liked pencil. When I was younger, I would always think that pencils were too much of an inconvenience since you always had to sharpen them. Mechanical pencils were never an option because I'd press too hard and the lead would break too easily. Pens were good because the ink would last a long while, you'd never have to sharpen them -- and most importantly -- I figured that by using a pen, it'd hone my technique. I felt the more I trained myself to make the right line the first time around, I'd never have to erase and I'd draw much faster than normal.

my graphire3 went crazy for a while - i even sent it off to wacom to check it and they sent it back saying there was no problem with it. basically sometimes it would stop working altogether, the green light wouldn't come on, and only by taking the nib out and replacing it could i get it to go again. i ended up having to get a new pen for it - works fine now :\ but i find it odd that they couldn't reproduce the problem when it wasnt' working AT ALL at my end. i had a feeling it was a sofware problem.. but .. oh well
Another quick coloring question. I was asking around in some other places, and some people said I'm not actually supposed to use the complement of the color of the object to create its shadowed area, but the complement of the light source. Is a more correct compromise that if I'm working with a white light source, then I'd just use the complement of the object, but if the light source is any color other than white, then I'd need more of the light source's complement?
And another one. I have a big box of art stuff that I needed back when I was taking some intro art classes at PSU (they sure make you buy a lot) so I decided to try out charcoal again. Never was too good with it unfortunately Only realized the eyebrows were way too close after I had already applied fixatif. I'm debating on whether or not it's proper to digitally alter a picture that I wasn't planning to do anything with on the PC other than scan it.
Edit: Sigh....10 hours later and not a single comment except for one to someone who posted a week ago.

Here's one I did tonight, based on a sketch I was doing in a class to keep myself awake. The theme doesn't really make much sense, but oh well.
And here's a slightly revised version of the hanging elf.
http://astro.temple.edu/~ewoo/images/Velina hanged 01 resize.jpg
Edit: I can't seem to get the img tags to work on the first one...
This is really messed up. It's not that big in pixel size either...
It's no bigger than the largest pics in this thread by either filesize or dimensions...

Anyone know why a perfectly good img tag won't post the picture? I've tried editing it into my old posts, or taking some img tags out of other posts in case there was some sort of size limit.

Or is it just that my browser is just showing it as a link rather than an image, and everyone else can see it?
Edit: This is really depressing. I even use the insert image button to make sure I'm doing it right, so I can't think of anything that I'm doing wrong, as I even resized it even smaller and with a different filename.
Edit again: Ok, changing its filename yet again fixed it. Any reason why it didn't seem to like Kel&Vel01r.jpg as a filename for posting an image?

Prolly because the amper's and isn't supported by your image host.
Now... I have TONS of stuff that I need to improve on myself, so let me know if I'm stepping beyond my boundaries :O There are a lot of things that I know I need to do with my work but can't too easily... seems as though I see what I want to see. Odd thing is that I tell what's wroing with the pic if it's upside down, mirror imaged, or if I haven't looked at it in a while So anyway...
Darth: I notice you tend to make one eye slightly disproportionate and off-center, so to speak. Try widening the eyes apart, on the last sketch, you have the right eye too close to the left. Give a little distance between the two, I'd say about a little more than the width of the eye between the two eyes. Also (and I hope not to offend you), your noses tend to look a little like clay. Soften the bridge of the nose and segregate the shape from the tip of the nose, they sort of melt together and lack definition.
I like the lines and way you composed the hair on the link pic, plus, you seem to have a nice grasp of shadow. What I'd do is make a little more contrast with the shading and "dimensionalize" your characters by giving them more of a tangible, physical quality. Also, you did a good job on the redo of the dashing woman.
cioran: I like the direction, there's definitely a lot of potential. Has a sort of minimalistic ink and watercolor look to it. Can't put my finger on what it reminds me of.
j2: are you planning on finishing it? it'd be nice to see it shaded and colored
kevm3: that's really nice for the doodle program.. i've never used it, but I'm sure something like that has a lot of limited tool sets nice work ^_^ -edit- woops, didn't realize the other artwork was done by painter.... I should have realized the yahoo stuff wouldn't have allowed THAT much flexibility

Latest sketch (was trying to think of how to add to the other pic, the one with the flowers and the overdeveloped fetus):
I hate the fact that I start on something with a few good motivational ideas and then suddenly lose the flow of it all. I usually go back to it... but almost certain *much* later than I anticipate. Here's another unfinished one.

Yet another drawing. I did this one to see if my inking job on the last one was just a fluke from it being based on existing characters. I guess this one probably isn't as good as the last one, mostly since I do crap for backgrounds.
In case you're wondering, the lady in the background is carrying one of those garrote strangling thingies. I know there should probably be a reflection cast in the water, but I left that out for now.

I sure seem to kill this thread whenever I post. Anyway, here was the logical conclusion of the previous picture, although I'll just link it instead of posting it since it's probably not quite work-safe.

These pictures were taken in June, but I just touched them up a couple of days ago.
PS: Maybe I will post some drawings I did in drawing class later too.

There are uncensored versions in the folder if you know how to look. I put the bars on the ones that I posted, just in case.
Edit: and yeah, the face didn't come out right at all on the first of the two pictures. Initially I planned for her to be smiling, but I think that somewhere in the middle of inking, I forgot what I was doing. As they say in film, I'll fix it in post.
Does she look sufficiently distressed in the second pic?

DarthWoo said:
The second pic? Are you referring to the one where there's a girl in the foreground, holding a rope that's strangling the girl in the background? Or do you mean the one you linked that has the close-up of the two girls together? Neither of them are 'sufficiently dressed'. lol
Also, just one quqestion: Do you like drawing women choking, or is there some other reason why you have so many pictures with that pose?
I'm guessing that was an intentional play on words... Actually, it's hard to see what the killer is wearing since she's mostly hidden behind things in both pictures, but she's got something on. As for your last question....maybe?
Edit: Oh wait, I thought you meant the two serial pictures I drew. The first in the series was the girl sitting on the tiny pier dipping her feet in the water, and the second was the link-only picture.

Out of curiosity, are there any artists here who occasionally draw explicit content? Don't post any of it, of course, but you could probably just PM me or mention it here, since I imagine it's somewhat of a taboo subject for public discussion here.
Edit: Two hours and already off the front page... I know there was at least one of you out there from a previous art thread (perhaps even from the old boards) whose name I kinda forgot.

I've already planned my next picture, and as soon as I figure out how to draw the interior of Strike Gundam's cockpit, as well as how to do the fine details of its hand, Fley is going to have a little bit of revenge on Cagalli, much in the same way Pirotess did in my other drawing.
