Description
this.. thing... *twitch* my hands are numb T___T

anyway. this is "team deadly" (name will be most likely changed in the future) from this manga/story idea i've come up with in the past week or so.. though manga-drawing and i do not mix T_T so currently it's just an innane sketch thing. maybe i'll post it someday. haha. basically they are assassins (dun dun dun! so unoriginal, i know). the 3 characters are basically me (bottom), ryndee (left), and larry (right). though i'll probly change the names. ryndee uses swords and daggers, larry uses guns and i use tourniquets. yah, i strangle people o_O;; (where *did* that come from... )
in short this pic is a product of evil. this is becauuuusee........

originally done in colored pencil (it sucked)
redone in pencil
micron ink
photoshop 5 coloring except..
pics inside the circle done in OC3
BG done in psp8

this thing took FOREVER. T_T it also took my brains ;-;

The shadeing is awasome, the antomy and perspotions need work, but there isn't an artist here that can't improve on those things. I was reading you jurnal before I came here, I didn't see anyone ripping it apart, but I kinda speed read. Anywho don't worry about it, you have a nice layout going on here which is really nice, each character has there own feel to them, I think you did a good job. So keep at it and don't worry about nasty comments form small minded people.

Your folds and shading are awesome~~ Love the shinyness of it all too
Apart from Ryndee's head, I think the gun looks a little square-ish , but I really love your tourniquets <-- no idea what are those... ribbons?
I also like how the circle has sort of an SD version of 'Team Deadly', but I wonder who the last person with the long curls is

karamei In reply to m-inori [2004-05-09 17:42:00 +0000 UTC]

ha ha yes lol i cannot draw guns for the life of me ;;; and i didn't have a reference pic, either. tourniquets are medical things used to tie around something to cut off blood flow and increase blood pressure.
the SD person with curls is ryndee, too, but that's how i draw curls in my sketch style lol
thanks!

SimB [2004-05-09 14:58:01 +0000 UTC]

Interesting style. The folds are very sharp, but the shoulds of the guy in the top-right stick out a bit too much. Also use some compression on your png because it is nearly 1MB which is far too much.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

karamei In reply to SimB [2004-05-09 15:02:43 +0000 UTC]


i...am..very..veryveryvery..anti-compres sion.
thank you.. but uh.. the psd file for this, not resized and with all layers.. was about 30MB...
you know, it's kind of insulting to the amount of work i put into this to say the file is to big, and then to screw up the sharpness/colors/whatnot with compression -_-;;

also, i am well aware of the shoulder. i was aware while working on it, and very much aware when my best friend pointed it out to me. albeit tactfully.

SimB In reply to karamei [2004-05-09 15:27:55 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry to offend you, I wasn't really thinking of the detail and effort that went into the picture when I commented, and I should have at least have included that before posting.
The folds on the tourniquets seem well done, they look really realistic. The folds on the middle girl's top are very long however, I'm not sure they'd usually stretch that far. The collar bones look very sharp also, I would say slightly too sharp when compared the the smoothness of the rest of the skin. There isn't really much muscle/bonage which causes them to stand out that far if you know what I mean.
The reflections on the man's trousers at the bottom are probably two horizontal, perhaps they should stretch up slightly more on the left. There might also be one too many folds around the groin area. The hair is very nicely done though.
I can't find much fault with the girl on the left except that the hair is quite hard to make out. You might want to thicken the lineart a bit around the middle of the hair so that you can make out the seperate clumps.
The background is really cool, what did you use to make it? I can make out the grid, but did you draw all of the other sections? Must've taken ages, there are lots of subtle details in there.
Sorry again, please don't hate me.

i have to laugh when reading that lol.. it's just all my style! i don't aim for perfection; i know i'd fail. lol. the things you say, the things you're pointing out and correcting - i've tried the flip side of those before. and i find that i (and fans) much prefer things draw this way. well, obviously there are some exceptions but meh! can't please everyone (which i also don't aim for..haha)
i don't know what you mean about the left girl's hair; maybe our screen resolutions are different. o_O
the BG itself is just a conglomeration of different PSP8 brushes i have downloaded over time.

Well if that's the case then it is a nice picture, a different style to most. I'm just glad I didn't upset you, that's all.
