Oddly Poddly Arty Tarty [Demeter's art thread]

[Reply #160 on:]

I really like the shading and colouring of the dress, Demeter!

[edit to correct the confusing quote]

[Reply #161 on:]

Awesome quote skills, Tachyon!

[Reply #162 on:]

Thanks...

Well, I didn't want to post the non-working image tags, nor correct them and repeat the images that were just a couple of posts back since my post was originally at the bottom of the page.  And borked the closing quote tag in the process

[Reply #163 on:]

Ooh, I love the colouring job on the first one. Very nice around the face and such. Almost looks like she's made of porcelain.

[Reply #164 on:]

Thanks guys! I posted this before rushing out of class, so I didn't get a chance to fix the tags up. ^^;

[Reply #165 on:]

I wish I could draw good cartoony eyes. Everyone seems to have a way that works for them but I have no idea what I'm doing.

[Reply #166 on:]

Best advice is study real human eyes a lot, work out what shapes alter between person to person and EXAGGERATE! And probably spell correctly, idk if that's right.

[Reply #167 on:]

Eyes tend to derive their character and definition from the surrounding features. Brows, bridge of the nose, upper cheek area. Focus on the surrounds and you'll find the eye will develop as an extension of these.

Imagine if the soul had a camera and that camera was a mirror.  Now imagine that you were looking out of a window, but it was raining outside.  If you looked inside each drop of rain, you would gather many images as it is a prism, and therefore rainbows can exist there.  In a way, eyes are like rainbows, so you have to represent them trichromatically.

[Reply #169 on:]

That was a nice analogy, winna

You're welcomed.  I fixed them, Freako made a snarky comment.

[Reply #171 on:]

coldangel sez: Winna, that's a load of rich creamery butter.

[Reply #172 on:]

I have been drawing, but nothing family friendly. Ahem.

[Reply #173 on:]

We're all family, right?

[Reply #174 on:]

I have been drawing, but nothing family friendly. Ahem.

Really?

I didn't think you had it in you to do some "adult-type" artwork.  You do know that you will have to "go the extra mile" if you want to compete with Freako's milder stuff?

[Reply #175 on:]

Mild being the keyword.

[Reply #176 on:]

@Ralph: I've done plenty of adult type artworks, I just never post them online. Mostly because I'm very picky/pedantic about my art, especially the naked bits. I'm also not going to compete with Freako. I prefer to collaborate. :P

But yeah. I'll let you guys find it.

[Reply #177 on:]

Found it two days ago   Very cute, Demeter

[Reply #178 on:]

Gold star for you! I'm working at more - adventurous stuff. I'm shy (but also attention-seeking. I'm a cornucopia of conflicting concepts.)

[Reply #179 on:]

Looking forward to anything you'd care to post.  That animation you made is still fresh in my mind.

[Reply #180 on:]

I'm actually planning on trying to make 3D Futurama characters, and work at animating them. That, and some rougher frame-by-frame pieces again. I prefer the rough sketched out animations more than the final pieces usually.

[Reply #181 on:]

But yeah. I'll let you guys find it.

Found it.  Your Groening-style is unique enough that I can spot it almost immediately.

Good work.

[Reply #183 on:]

Wow, that's gorgeous!

[Reply #184 on:]

I liked the other version! Post that one!

[Reply #185 on:]

Oh my gosh, look at her gorgeous face.
Her eye looks so soulful.

[Reply #186 on:]

Lemme guess, the other version was topless.

I really like that, Demeter. Love the eye, looks very expressive. The whole thing is well done and a great interpretation.

[Reply #187 on:]

spira, you must be psychic!  Or you've been around PEEL for a while...

Not yet sure about the eye, but I definitely like the expression overall.  "Soulful", yeah, that's a good description.

[Reply #188 on:]

Neat. Is that the swimsuit + sarong she was wearing to the beach?

[Reply #189 on:]

I like the line work, it has a lot of vibrant energy. It helps bring the picture to life in ways that having an abundance of colours couldn't...

[Reply #190 on:]

I need to draw something. I just wanted to thank you guys for all the comments!

And I was thinking more out of a shower, not yet pants'd so she wrapped a towel around her waist. *nods*

[Reply #191 on:]

Draw something naked.

[Reply #192 on:]

Like Margaret Thatcher.

[Reply #193 on:]

Margeret Thatcher doesn't draw stuff naked. She sketches things in her underwear.

[Reply #194 on:]

What'll end up being a Christmas picture, hopefully! I'm also putting in Professor, Hermes and Amy. Maybe Scruffy...

[Reply #195 on:]

Haha, love the guys in the background. Can't wait to see them more fully developed.

[Reply #196 on:]

Looks good so far. Should be great when it's done.

[Reply #197 on:]

Tiny Zoidberg head is tiny!

[Reply #198 on:]

Oh, Zoidberg was added very last minute. I've fixed proportions since then.

[Reply #199 on:]

Where's his massive lobster cock? And why is Leela not all over it?
