My Art

[ganondorf2]

That's fine.

[The Melee Master]

Ok, so coloring it is going to be harder than I thought, especially coloring in the smoke. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with it.

Anyway, here's a new stamp I just now got done.

[ganondorf2]

Nice.

[The Melee Master]

Thank you. And this is going to be my last stamp for a while. I really need to get back to traditional or other GIMP works.

[ganondorf2]

Nice one.

[The Melee Master]

I have a hand-drawn art that I'll post later, but here's my first animated stamp, despite what I said before. Can't do anything about the size. I had to compress it to make it animated.

[ganondorf2]

Nice, I like it.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks.

I've been working on this drawing for at least 3 days now, trying to find ways to improve it before posting, but I'm out of ideas, so this will have to do. This drawing is for the wolf RPG forum, actually, to replace the banner I had before, if it'll fit.

Platina can go a couple days without eating. At this state, she is very defensive when it comes to her meals, especially when they involve fish or young deer. If she sneers at you when eating, unless your daring, it's probably best to back off and leave her alone.

And let me tell you something: whether I look at canine paws or not, whether they turn out good or not, they are a pain to draw, period! And a great rule to keep in mind concerning the colored blotches...NEVER draw while your eating!

I Dare You...

[ganondorf2]

I haven't tried paws yet, but I know the feeling. I can't do hands well.

[The Melee Master]

I'm still practicing with hands, too, though I think I have more trouble with facial expressions and hair styles...still. Anywhoo, I did this for that wolf forum I'm a member of (made it into an avatar). I cropped the lineart and then colored it, so if I get the chance to color the full version, it won't look the same as this one. Sorry.

[ganondorf2]

Nicely done.

[The Melee Master]

Thank you. And...I can't take it anymore. I'm bored with this pic now, so here it is.

An off duty Samuel Aran had just escaped from an ambush. Armed with only a less powerful blaster he had snuck, he barely manages to escape enemy clutches and into a ruined temple for safety. However, the fighting mixed with running away is causing him problems of his own thanks to the poisonous gas from years before. The feeling was like fire burning inside his chest. His stamina was deplenishing and pain surged throughout his body, but he tried to remain calm on the outside, despite the obvious panting and pained look on his face.

[ganondorf2]

Nicely done.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. I don't know what happened to the quality though. It looks better in real life than it does when it was scanned. Anyway, Samus really isn't suppose to have muscles, but oh well. Guess you can say that all those missions he's been on, plus being in a heavy suit, really toned him up. XD And I made his hair more thick and shaggier on purpose because I wanted to experiment with his looks a little more. The way he's tilting his head makes it look longer than it truly is, so don't be fooled, and the pointed rocks...I obviously can't draw crystals.

Here's the story on the drawing itself. I FORCED myself to take my precious time with this one, two months to be exact (minus the time I had to leave home and forgot the sketch pad), going through tutorials and references on how to draw and shade landscapes and such, even recalling the criticism I got from others last year. The result of forcing improvement on my work, with or without critics, results in it looking the same as my other pencil drawings, and the pressure to improve, alone, just takes away the fun I usually have working on my art!

So there you have it! I improve at my own pace, and I'm never gonna waste months on a single drawing ever again. It doesn't do a d@mn thing! From now on, I'll get it done when it looks good enough FOR ME!!

Sorry, I just want to get that off my chest.

[ganondorf2]

That's fine.

[The Melee Master]

And even though I said I wasn't going to take weeks on a drawing, this also took a while. Not much of an improvement. I can't believe I still haven't learned my lesson in taking time with drawings: nothing changes.

[ganondorf2]

Nice though.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks. And another drawing I just got done. I need to get to bed, but I worked on this all day, so I just couldn't wait to post it. Be sure to read the description, please?

[ganondorf2]

I can't see it(I'm not a member sorry )

[The Melee Master]

Oh yeah, I forgot non-members can't see those kind of Deviants (blood and stuff.) I unchecked it, so try again now. I'll censor it again someday, cause I'm not sure if the mods will approve of this being unfiltered.

[ganondorf2]

It's pretty good.

[The Melee Master]

Thanks, and I just now got this done. Took me all afternoon, too. Please read the description.

[ganondorf2]

Nice!

[The Melee Master]

Thank you. I don't have the patience to do lineart and color it, especially with the chain-mail. But I will tell you this: his loss of an eye isn't the only thing mirroring his gold wolf form. I took several references from the wolf. Note his head hair and mustache, then take a real good look at this picture.



...See what I did there?

[ganondorf2]

Indeed.

[The Melee Master]

Also, I did NOT draw in the eye on the wrong place. I made sure I had reference pics that matched the Gamecube versions of the wolf and knight, since it was the original. So yeah, that's my own original take of that ghost knight/wolf, whatever he really is. ...Though I wish I can correct the fact that his mustache and nose in human form make him look like a cat. Phht, I've tried all I knew how, but nothing worked. Oh well, I'm still happy with it.

[ganondorf2]

So am I!

[The Melee Master]

Yay! And I don't know if I'm happy with this or not, but the paws, leg, and the fur on Inuyasha were bothering me here, so I did a reconstruction on those. ...They were the same issues that people complained about last year, only I decided to fix them when I was willing and ready. I still think I should attempt to fix the paw, maybe someday, but I'm drained right now.

[ganondorf2]

Not bad though. Better then me.

[The Melee Master]

You haven't posted anything in years, so how would you know? I would love to see your work again. I really would!

This is my new stamp. Please read the description for it to make sense.
