My Art

[ganondorf2]

I know who it is, but the name won't come out of my mouth.

[The Melee Master]

It's my OC, Jordan!

[ganondorf2]

Thank you! Dang, it just wouldn't come out.

[The Melee Master]

I intended to draw James next to him, but I was too afraid I'd screw up. His expression looks older and more serious than his in-game look (or to be more specific, Fox McCloud), which was actually intended. I like how it turned out.

[ganondorf2]

I see that, I like it too.

[The Melee Master]

Thank you. Here's something I got done last night.

Battle Worn

[ganondorf2]

Nice!

[The Melee Master]

Thank you! ;D It may not look like it, but I actually decided to take my time with this one. I'm very proud of it! ;D ;D ...Though Roy's armor could use a bit of work, and I think I made that hair piece too long. It was meant to be cropped anyway, but then I saw the more I cropped it, the more it takes out of the whole pic, so I did what I could.

I actually had trouble drawing the right eye, and that's where the 'blood over the eye' idea came in. Since I couldn't draw it, might as well improvise somehow. Worked out well if you ask me.

[ganondorf2]

Turned out greet to me too! ;D

[The Melee Master]

Something I did this morning...don't underestimate my boredom (quote's not mine).

[ganondorf2]

I like it.

[The Melee Master]

Thank you. I'm not posting it on Deviantart because I used another person's work. Well...I didn't STEAL anything, I was just bored, all right?

Below is a birthday gift I did for the DeviantArt member who drew me the Inuyasha art pieces. Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, and their dad (he has no face markings). I drew it one day, and colored it the next day...didn't get it done until 3 am this morning, believe it or not (more talk below the picture).



She favorite it a little while after I posted it...but left no comment. No 'thank you', no hug icon, just a fave and run (I do that a lot myself). She's done that twice to me already, and because this was a gift, I was expecting that 'thank you'. ...Hm.

[ganondorf2]

I notice that a lot with many pics there these days.

[The Melee Master]

Well I don't think I'll be making another gift art anytime soon. I'm sorry if I sound like a jerk, but I like being commented on gift art. All my other art, I don't really mind if a person favs and runs, but it's different with these.

I'll get back into drawing some other time. I'm burned out now.

[ganondorf2]

I need idea's for myself.

[The Melee Master]

Finally got something last night, though I kinda failed at the fire tornado. ...I don't know what's worse: being so mad your willing to tear people apart, or the fact that your COMPLETELY AWARE of your actions, yet at the same time, you don't give a d@mn.

[ganondorf2]

You did good on it.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. When people think angry, they may think of the Hulk and his uncontrollable rage. As for Melee Master, anything she does while in Rage, like I said, she does on purpose to release that built up anger, so unlike that green beast, she knows exactly what she's doing and why. That's what makes her scary. Luckily it takes a lot before she succumbs to such anger...for the most part.

I haven't drawn enough of her in Rage form, and that's what inspired me to do that. I'm burned out right now, though.

[ganondorf2]

C. Ganondorf suffers to something like that, but when people he knows, my main is hurt, or he's suffer from his fear(clastaphobia). He loses it.

[The Melee Master]

Melee Master has claustrophobia too, though not as severe, and I haven't gotten to a point in the RP to reveal it yet. The fear of dying and losing people she cares about are her biggest ones...even though that shouldn't be considered a fear because death is an inevitable cause of life itself. ...Overall, I haven't really thought of good weaknesses for her besides rage. I feel like I really need to though.

[ganondorf2]

Maybe light or holy based attacked, idk (If I remember you have demon blood)

[The Melee Master]

Well lately, I haven't been thinking about that. This won't be posted in that forum out of fear, but as a response from the past few days, remember this!

[ganondorf2]

Nice one.

[The Melee Master]

Thank you! Maybe when I get the courage to leave there, I'll post it, but I'll bet they'll find a way to let it backfire. I want to get the last word!

[ganondorf2]

Don't blame you there.

[The Melee Master]

Not going back to that forum (I'm actually thinking of leaving it), but...in an attempt to get my art motivation back, I took a pose from the original Metroid game, and created Samuel. He looks tired because of his handicap, and I'm currently coloring it in Gimp, I hope it'll turn out better that way.

[ganondorf2]

Looks great to me.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks.

Ok, using tutorials as references, I drew three items on one paper, and leaving in the shapes and lines instead of erasing them. Why? I'm getting desperate of that forum's approval! If this doesn't work, I don't know what else to do. I can't draw whatever I want and post it there anymore, because they'll always find some way to bash it, from the tiniest thing, to something that wasn't meant to be the center of the art.

This is what I drew.

[ganondorf2]

Looks good to me.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. They told me to draw what I see, which is exactly what I've been doing all this time!! But sometimes, people like to draw straight from their mind. Why is that a bad thing on that forum? I finally take someone's advice, even provided evidence of a reference pic, and showed my work! If that same person or someone else trashes my art and tells me otherwise, then I know they're hypocrites who are just looking for stuff to bash or expect pure perfection.

I'll be honest, I now feel like I'm wasting my time with that forum and trying to please them. If I don't get a response before the end of the month, or if I get a bad response despite finally following their advice, and providing proof, I'm done! I'll be flat-out done posting art for them!
