AkanoYoru's Artness

[threewolves]

Really nice work, plus your first set of drawings has one of my favorite characters so far, Holo. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more artwork to view.

The tone looks a little too much in some areas. Plus, you want to shade where the clothes fold or wrinkle at the elbows, underarms, waist, and shoulders. Plus, the girls expressions are cute. really like the shocked or unnerved looked.

You should really think about using Sketchbook pro...especially with a tablet.

At least I'm doing something right. Clothes have always been my bane

Sketchbook pro? For once an autodesk software that does not cost zillions of dollars? (I'm looking at you, 3ds max!) Currently downloading the trial. If I like it I might pay the $59 or head over to amazon... and to do that I need money, and to get money I need a job, and with 7/10 young people in my area jobless this summer...

I've tried paint tool sai and adobe illustrator, but didn't particularly like them. Sai didn't have the features I needed (although I love how one can rotate the canvas) and illustrator didn't have an intuitive interface.

Tried combining halftones with shading. And pink hair. Excuse the ginormous size XD

[AkanoYoru]

Worked yesterday and today on this:


(Before and after post work)

I had some fun with the newsprint filter. During this I discovered one of my RAM chips must be loose, as I only had 2GB RAM available (out of 4) and was using it all XD

Nyaa?

[Jacob's Ladder]

Oh...wow!

[AkanoYoru]

I've been scrutinizing some of Tony Taka's work (the spelling of the artist's name is killing me) and have done some experimenting with the catgirl pic. Oh, and I added a nice pink background.

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Your drawings are pretty good, I just LOVE the digital ones, good work!

I love the digital ones too. They're so much fun, especially when coloring.



Edit:
So I finally read the forum rules (I've been winging it so far) and decided to start trying to conserve post count (there's something like a 250 post limit before deletion to save space on the server, and I wanna be a good user).
I also started fooling around with Paint Tool Sai after my curiosity got the best of me (and growing bored with GIMP 2.6). This below took me about 10 minutes (at most) fooling around with some tools.



On a non-art related note, I went to the transfer orientation for my college and I'm even more exited to go, the campus is awesome, facilities are great and good (stupidly liberal) student body. Oh yeah, I'm also cannot wait to go as my mother called me a "lazy good-for-nothing" because I forgot a piece of paperwork. And my family thinks I'm the weird one
Forgive me if I seem like I'm a venting whiny emo

[AkanoYoru]

Tramatizing parental insults aside, I embarked on a character study over the last few days, scrutinizing Fujiyoshi Harumi from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei in order to attempt the capture of a more delicate form of character than I have been doing. Here's the results of my work after a good half-dozen attempts.



I hate to toot my own horn, but I think she looks adorable :3

She's a modification of a character (Winter Farthing) for my webcomic which is currently on haitus because my home has a life-sucking atmosphere.

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Really like that last drawing Should colour it

[AkanoYoru]

I think this is the first time I ever did a drawing with more than one person in it. The hands look a little funny, but I'll fix that when I digitize it. It took 4 drawings (including the concept pic) to get this


This is the main(ish) cast of Metal Solstice (mah webcomic). The characters from left to right are Lily Thompson, Jim Nages, Bob Wallace and Winter Farthing (who is reading q manga if you couldn't tell from the backwards-ness of the book).

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Very well done for the first group drawing, @AkanoYoru
Just the tallest guy's expression and face is kinda wierd :P

Once again I think you should really colour them

[AkanoYoru]

Just quickly scanned a picture from my sketchbook. Behold!

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Nice drawing again @AkanoYoru , the same girl as in posts #37 and 35# right?
I really like those two objects (dunno what to call them) behind her, also her clothes are really really great, that's the best I see in your drawing.
However, I think her hair is the most negative thing as it seems almost like melting on the top right and in right bottom that hank seems pretty misfit.
Also, I think both her glasses and eyes are kinda big but I guess that's proposited

Keep posting your drawings, thanks for sharing these one more

I really like the uniform...but what is that hanging on the chains?

I'm pretty curious to know what's that as well

I'll scan a pic later. I just had to take apart my computer and bypass the power supply for the internal fan. Now my laptop sounds like an airplane, has a USB cord sticking out of it and stays at a balmy 62C at most

Ah ah Looking foward to see that pic

Drew it during my breaks at work today... so it still isn't done XD

Ok, guess it shouldn't be easy to finish it that way

[AkanoYoru]

Indeed. While the environment at the ice cream factory is nice, the work is the definition of my personal hell: tasks monotonous enough to be boring but complicated enough not to be able to think of anything else. Good thing I developed a sort of second consciousness to help in those sorts of situations... at least the job is only until the end of the summer, if I can survive the anxiety I get the night before I have work :/

On a different note, pictures:

Drew these at work during break over the past 2 days (just finished the furthest left one a minute ago, not during work)




The complete feminine mech is below, guess which character pilots it



Oh yeah. Since I had to reboot my computer (due to it derping) I lost some files, including my Digital Art folder, Lol folder, over half of my anime art morgue and a small bit of my sanity. On the plus side my computer is actually running wicked cool: 38 C!

Did a render to test the temperature, only 2 degree increase, yay! Here is the render:



DAZ Studio FTW

[Mugiwara-no-Basuke]

Leaving now, I'll be sure to reply and comment your last works

[Jacob's Ladder]

Wow! It's funny the first armor in the background looked like a Gears of War armor. Like the relaxed laid back drawing. The rendering is awesome. Did you do that one at work too??

[AkanoYoru]

My work consists of hauling around unboxing ingredients for Ben & Jerry's Ice cream for 8 hours. Whee.

The first armor I was more inspired by various mechs, including the chestpiece of Madox unit 0 in the OVA "Metal Skin Panic Madox 01"
