So, I tried making a lineless sprite.

Lineless-Blastoise.png


Didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped.

It's missing some shading. You need make the irises/pupils more noticeable (the eyes look 100% white until I look closely). Also, put more detail into the beige portion of Blastoise. You need to define his chin as well. Use another, slightly darker shade to make it three shades (base, dark, and darker). I'd also add in some shining as well, but don't go over board.

Agreed- Angelic Layer was a favorite of mine. I watched some Chobits once- pretty odd 0_o... though Angelic Layer and Chobits are set in the same world but the Persocoms come later on after the Angels.

Yeah, they are in the same universe. There are tip offs in some of the stuff (The picture in the newpaper-like thing at the beginning of vol.4 with Kaede), as well as Shuuko's appearance, Icchan's appearance, and the general idea. :p Kinda makes sense.

I think the reason I love Angelic Layer is the same reason I have a liking for Shugo Chara!. They both feature something that requires an inner will or wish to "hatch" from an egg. Only those pure of heart can truly master and understand the things that have hatched from the eggs. Both series also have a bit of childhood innocence and some good humor as well.

Zoom in to 200% and you can see his chin ;D This zoom is fun though... I think I'll leave it like this for today.

btw: tracing IS bad. :| Because it can easily become a crutch and turn into the only way one can draw. Plus tracing the pose doesn't make you better at it. You don't see or understand how the body works in that pose yourself because all you're doing is thinking "A line goes here" not "The leg should be shaped like this".

it's not really that bad if it isn't your crutch. it's not for me, I don't have any major problems drawing on my own.

it's usually a lot more helpful to trace when it comes to face styles in my experience than to, say, try and copy it. you don't have to try and observe things and be all analytical and all that crazy stuff, you can just get into the feel and do it subconsciously.

I don't trace... or use my mannekin... I dunno why I even have the mannekin- it's never helped me even once D=. Everything I draw is done by memory of the way people are standing- if I can't remember it, I don't draw it. Or I pose myself- I have a picture I did of a guy laying on the ground with his feet against the wall and I had to get down on the ground and do the stupid pose to figure out how to draw it.

Aurgh, you know, I would be able to enjoy Shugo Chara! so much more if it weren't for me seeing the retarded fangirls for the series. =3=

Saw the manga's ending/ended. Thank GOODNESS. Can the anime finally get a stupid ending now? =3= Annoyed to see the "sequel" pulling the same lame title stuff the anime did. "Shugo Chara! Encore!"? Please, some one slap PEACH-PIT now.

there's posemaniacs.com or something... .__.;

when you've drawn enough it's easier, a lot of things kinda just go by feel. either that, or you just know when something's wrong right after you do it. at least it's how it is for me. .__.;

I know- but there's no internet in my room (for good reason, I get too distracted XD).

Cosplaying sounds like a lot of fun. I should try it sometime...

It is, it just also requires a bit of money too.

Oh and since I never shared these, here's the full bodies for the Hair Down Kotone and Christmas Kotone:

New Years Kotone will have her in a tiger-print kimono. x3

I like them. You did those?

You have a sprite shop, right?

No, I only do trainer cards. I'm fine doing custom trainer sprites, but other than that I don't do commissions/requests. I work on inspiration, not other people's ideas. >_>

Maybe I should go request at your shop sometime.

It's always good to be original, right? Like that last Christmas artwork you did.
