Uhhh...some comments and critique would be nice (go easy on me...PMS is killing me xDDDD).
And just wanna know what everyone thinks. I spent a ton of time on it and I'd like at least some people to see it D|;;
My my! I was really impressed when I saw this. I love the detail you have on the hair and rope - it really adds to the picture! I strolled through your gallery, so I'm going to try and ignore stylistic things.
Your shading is just very impressive. You have a consistent light source and the time you put into it really shows.
The arms are the main big thing. I realize you're trying to emphasize on muscles, but there needs to be even a little more softer transition between shoulder and bicep. Also, Ed's left bicep seems too short because of it. Nedai's arms are not the same length and look stiff.
But otherwise, everything looks quite nice. The darkness is very much emphasized and you draw guns quite well from what I can see. I would recommend putting a mature warning on it, however, as ideologically sensitive.
Also lol pms with username Erection. (I can laugh because I'm suffering too.)
Thanks! Yeah I'm kinda trapped in a style lol it's pretty bad ><;; hehe.
o_o I'm surprised you think my shading is good, I always felt it was my weakness buts its nice to hear that someone thinks its good :D
The arms did kinda give me a run-- limbs in general for me are wonky so im trying to fix it and I appreciate the comments (:
XD The gun is one of my fave parts...my first time drawing one actually hehhe gonna do it more often!
No! It's good to have a style (as long as it's unique and different from this over and over.)* It's just good to know the basics too. xD
It's good you know and are working to fix it! That's really admirable. =)
Guns are always tough for me, so it's good you enjoy them! They're fun to shoot but man... when it comes to drawing them it's just sagghdkjhsadfs.
Nothing against Lucky Star, it just seems that every other picture on deviantART is kawaiidesu!
Bahhahhaa XD Yeah I'm not into the girly style...can't do it. Hahaha.
o.o I've never shot a gun (Besides my BB gun xD ) and I want too soo bad....even if I HATE guns they look hecka fun to just shoot.
Because real women draw manly men!
Wait no that's a lie I draw slightly feminine boys too But that's because he's pretty you can't judge me
Shooting guns is quite fun as long as they don't kick you off your own feet or dislocate your shoulder! (Luckily I've never had the experience.)
Lol I've been trying to draw women and feminine dudes too but gah xD gonna be hard for me heeeh. -doesn't judge- I'm pretty guyish myself so its kinda natural for me to draw dudes. I often identify as one but...also a girl too a lot. -confusing- Dx
D: Ooo that wouldn't be fun! My bestie has a couple handguns she's invited me to shoot but we've never done it...weird. lol
Well women are okay for me to draw, since I started drawing them first. And I'm guyish too! I just... I like having a vagina, despite the cruel and bloody things it does at times. That sounded so awful I apologize.
Haha, I'd recommend shooting some! Getting comfortable with guns is a good thing, I think. If you live in the US, you have a right to bear arms (should you interpret the Constitution that way) and they're very helpful to have around if you don't want to be robbed or something haha.
XD I like my vagina too. no worries. XD
<<; I'd like to shoot but I don't like the idea of having them around statistics show a lot of people who have guns in their house end up getting hurt with their own weapon so i'd rather not lol. But for sport wouldn't be bad.
I meant the bloody part but yeeaah xDD
Really? Uh. Well. I once got myself in the arm with a BB gun because I apparently was shooting at wood that ricochets. But never with my own real gun. >.> I guess I'm just too careful? I dunno.
hahah XD Yeah it's real easy for someone to get ahold of you gun and turn it on you in those situations, not to mention kids getting ahold of them its pretty scary. I agree, nowhere near me XD hahaha just rentals!
(wow this thread went from art to guns:D )
Yeah, that's why my dad hides them. And why we don't let little kids in too many parts of the house.
(Ehh, well you drew a gun and people get off-topic. It's how people make conversation. :P)
XD I know how people make conversation haha im just jokin :P. That's good, we dont have any in our house. o_O I think. rofl.
Oh I was trying to play along and be funny too. But I guess I'm just not funny. XD Haha, maybe someone's hiding one! gasp
XD humor gets lost in translation a lot hehehehe. I hope not. I have a HUGE dagger though :3
Oh text why are you so fickle? And hahaha I find it so funny that people are more comfortable with blades than guns. I'm sure you can understand it, but I can't. There's no safety on a blade. P: I guess I'm weird.
They give false protection, I've never had to use it and its mostly for decoration. It'd probably end up killing ME if i ever used it <<;
Ahh, I see. As they say, you should never bring a sword to a gunfight. :X They're pretty but quite impractical nowadays.
Though I recall a news article in which this samurai dude with a sword scared the piss out of some people trying to rob a police station that couldn't protect itself.
AHAHAH I remember that! XD I think he just scared people so much with his sword that they just gave in. Those bitches be sharp (if it was real and not a replica which is doubtful)
SPEAKING OF SAMURAI SWORDS....I want the killbill katana D: omg
I freaking laughed when I saw that. I just couldn't believe it. XD It's kinda sad (but understandable, everything considered) they want to arrest him now.
I have never watched those movies and I have no idea why. I've gone through Terminator and my fair share of horror gore movies, but I've never watched Kill Bill. I'm weird. ._.
