OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase VI

[asdflove]

E-gads, you have a lot of time on your hands. How long does it take to modify the pretty texture?

That took about 10 minutes overall. The pattern 1 or two at most.

Dragon!

You work fast ._.

Dragon!

*I'm a dragon, so like... rawr and stuff*

AWESOME!! The dragon is very imposing and has a great color scheme... I just wanna know why the guy's orange :S

[asdflove]

I've been using Inkscape for 3 years, and I've always worked fast in it. It's easy.

Very. Not time at all, usually.

Thanks... I was trying to go for evil without conveying in in dark red and such.

I'll put it to you this way, making this picture took me about three hours. This is one of the simpler things I've done.

The drow in the webbed outfit I posted at the beginning of this particular thread took me about a day and a half, not including all the minor fixes I've done since then to improve her.

...Wow. I usually finish mine, unless they're beasts, in about ten, twenty minutes. Shading, is used, can delay it longer. But I don't use templates like Asdflove.

[gurgleflep]

I don't use templates (with the exception of my goblins) or shade. I also only started making OotS styled things around March of this year *shrugs*
I'm also about the only one who does anything in the house, but I'd rather not go on a rant about that here in this thread >_<

[Elder Tsofu]

It must be nice being efficient - I'm lucky to finish a custom avatar in 2 hours. Procrastination is a horrible thing.

Why did you bold my username?
And I see no point in completely redrawing something when I don't need too, but when I do draw something from scratch it only takes a few extra minutes.

You draw them up ahead of time and make them very very pretty, dash it.

To... well... whatever.

You lock yourself into a hole and stagnate, as you cease making the constant little tweaks and improvements that lead to an evolution of your style.

But I do constantly tweak and improve my style, anyway. If I notice a significant improvement in the way I do something, I go back and edit everything. Seriously.

Whoa what.

[Grozomah]

Well, this here is my first submission, for a campaign i'm starting. I've only used inkscape a couple of times before, so i'm still learning.

I present to you: Yvienne Zyneste, the warblade.



Any constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Dat chainmail cleavage.

[Grozomah]

Well it's my interpretation of the Gleaming armor.

... It is something that distracts the eye.

I think her feet could use some work. They look a bit small to me. Other than that, she looks great!

She's a bit taller than most Oots avatars, but that's just a style issue.

[mistformsquirrl]

Alrighty, so I haven't done OOTS style in awhile; and I'm never very good at it; but I gave my catgirl Yumi another shot just the same < . .>

Apologies for the background, the art program I use doesn't play nice with transparent GIF stuff for some reason, so it's easiest/best to just do it as a JPEG.

Will try to do a better one later once I figure out what I'm playing in the forum OOTS campaign. I feel like it's an improvement over my previous attempts at least, even if it's far from perfect.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Trying to create natural looking posing has always been difficult for me. I think I've improved (slightly, mind you ) compared to how I originally posed characters, though.

Really? I'm quite a bit worse at drawing, and I can make decent stick figure poses (I'm not so good at drawing poses where the arms or legs cross each other, though. I'm trying to figure out the pose for two-handed guns). Basically, just practice with basic stick figures (although put a line across for the shoulders).

Also, both the orc and the Max Payne guy are left-handed.

Natural posing is easy if they're standing there. The problem is making it look dynamic.

EDIT:Perspective helps. Like this, just done now.

Hi! I'm newbie here, and I brought my own avatar which I finished 5 minutes ago. I love those sticky guys. So simple, yet so much attractive XD

For having just started, you've done a magnificent job. Your lines all seem to be pretty consistent with the exceptions of the magic in the hand, the crystal/gem upon the staff, and the stars glistening/glittering around that. My only suggestions would be to round the lines for a smoother appearance and put "caps" on the ends of the lines (if that's the wrong name, I apologize).

[Hattish Thing]

I made an avatar of my current high-level Pathfinder character, Rick Brutal. he's a Neutral Evil Rogue. Well. Count Rick Brutal now. It's kinda awesome. :P

*catgirl*

Cute! I would suggest making the hands a bit bigger, and the ears a bit fuller to bring out the feline look. The eyes are a bit oddly shaped, like upside-down teardrops; maybe a bit rounder? Like, less pointed at the bottom.

Is this the same character as the one in your avatar? (Which is quite lovely, by the way.)

*wheeee*

For some reason this makes me think of Willy Wonka. I think it's the zaniness.

Interesting exercise in perspective, although I'm not entirely certain what the brown strip is. A ribbon? A cane?

*abracadabra*

I totally agree with you; OOTS is elegant in its simplicity. You seem to have a good feel for the style, too. :)

Constructive criticism...um, basically everything gurgleflep said. Though I would also suggest you consider completely omitting the outline on the fiery ball of magic; to me it adds a sense of ethereality.

I notice that you're using it as an avatar; might I suggest making it transparent? I find they tend to look better that way.

[Beige Dragon]

Ignore this post. It was in the wroooong thread.

@Beige Dragon: Hey, there. Erm...wrong thread, perhaps?

How embarrassing! Yeah, sorry. Next time I should start picking the specific thread, rather then clicking something that looked familiar.

Thank you for suggestions!
Yes... I forgot to refer fire effect from OOTS(simply lazy to find scene...)..and I thought I made it transparent, but it seems not lol.

Thank you so very much hehe <._.> That is very useful advice. It may seem strange, I find OOTS style much harder than regular drawing for some reason, so the critique is very welcome.

Also yes, it's the same character as in my current avatar <^.^> The avatar was for Steampunk Week, which is why she's dressed that way in it as opposed to her more standard samurai or adventuring attire.
