OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase IV

[Ninjaman]

This weekend is full of artistic accomplishments for me it seems. Behold, my first attempt at non-gradient shading!



The smaller, avatar sized version is in use as my avatar.

the arm look a little long.

[Cealocanth]

Which one?

[CrimsonAngel]

Excuse me, I would like to be in the movie.

Is that a homeless guy? HEY! Get a friggin job!

[Ninjaman]

Which one?

Oh sorry, both.

[Terry576]

Using Derjuin's Thing as a base I created this.. thing.



I don't know why. It amused me though.

On a request, I made this as well:



AND NOW FOR A SHAMELESS PLUG FOR MSPA AND GURREN LAGANN

bro is dead
hes gone
but hes right there on my back
and here in my heart
he lives on as a part of me!

[AsteriskAmp]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I prefer to do the shapes and transparency thing because it looks more OOTSy while still giving it depth, instead of trying to make stick figures realistic with orb-like gradients.

I think he meant shawnhcorey.

To whom I recommend to make his lines thicker and give the robe some more length and a bit of flow and movement and to murder the Gradient on his hat, it just looks odd.

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense. Yeah, shawn, listen to Pink Haired August. His suggestions are good in this situation.

OK, I changed everything but flowing the robe. It's going to take some effort.

[AsteriskAmp]

Try soft-Rounded for edges, it makes it look a bit more natural.
As for the flow try using the Pen tool automatic curve continuation a bit and making the bottom a bit more curvy.
To give an impression of flow you can also draw some slightly thinner lines around the robe.

Made this as a request for someone on anime week, here is the PNG of my workspace.

Upper Left: Further edits zone - The place where everything I feel I could need to modify swiftly and massively goes, also, prototypes and alternative takes get ensembled here.

Upper Right: Actual workspace, here I make the character, I don't actually copy it and make alternates until I finish the main one, in this case upper rightmost corner.

Lower Space: Random things that may serve for future characters and as such are kept on an easily selectable space.

That is seriously epic.

[Derjuin]

Made this after thinking about going back and playing a certain game again...it's a character I had in the game. I was mostly aiming for wing practice; I'm not sure if I like how they came out.

[Cealocanth]

It'd be fine if the teeth weren't so...weird. They tuck over the lower lip while still being part of the whole teeth thing as a whole. Most oots characters have black mouths and only a few white fangs if they have any.

If you want to do fangs while smiling like that, I'd suggest something like this.



Although that may not fit with the mouth you drew.

I am also no authority on the subject so feel free to disregard my advice.

They look nice, but to get a more vampirical approach I would go with grey for the fangs border, it works a bit better when you want the fangs to be clearly noticeable I think.

[memnarch]

It really depends on your style. For example, I would probably use a mouth closest to GreenMuffin's. araveu's is nice for his/her style, but it's too fuzzy for me.

[Terry576]

I learned something today.

pirates are goddamn sexy.



YES.

[AsteriskAmp]

#snip#

YES.

It looks good.

But:
-The tail looks a bit deformed, the upper part doesn't follow the lower parts curvature.
-The upper part of a coat doesn't bend like that, it's not Straight-Curvature it's more Curvature-Small Straight-Curved to Start edge.
-The ponytail has sketchy physics, it either be one curve or has another hairpin to compensate the sinking of the line before the ponytail actually ends.
- Her right foot is broken
-I don't understand the hat.

Don't get me wrong, it looks nice, it's just that there's so much to niptick since it is for IA.

I know, I couldn't curve the tail right. I gave up on the coat, and the ponytail was ponyfail. (Fixed it by turning it more down.)

Update:


EDIT: The hat is being pushed up by her hand.

Why not make the tail simply a line with the triangle point at the end?

[Derjuin]

Edit: About the fangs, they're not quite vampire fangs, more like animal fangs. While I appreciate the advice, I like the way I draw them.

I noticed a correlation between the time of day and my doodling habits: nighttime and maximum doodlage happen about the same time. Another doodle that I might do something more with at a later time...:

Looks Ok for a preliminary sketch, though I don't support the Noise added to the wings, though the way the silhouettes are shaped looks nice, the colours seem a bit too psychodelic to me.

To add support to your observations, that happens to me too.

ION I got to update my avatar, which I'll probably use after Anime Week and got an alternative pose, though her hair still annoys me on those.

In the space of roughly one month, I chucked up 20 OotSatars. Talk about addicting. ^_^

Most of those are from December's Iron Avatarist Contest though.
I recognize the many Irbis Avatars you've made.
They -as always- look excellent, though some look kind of more rudimentary-

[Elder Tsofu]

They are delicate, except for a few they look like they will break just by looking at them.

[Ashen Lilies]

The first one on the third row is my favorite. It's all graceful like. You really do do some elegant work. I think you might need to work on faces a bit though... Saint Nil and Hinjo in particular look... off.

I enjoy your artwork a lot. You have a very fluid and natural way of making avatars that is unique, but is still oots enough to be an ootsatar
