Description God, I'm so slow...

I was doing some human studies for the Nuzlocke update, and I got a little carried away.
This here is Gwendolyne, a character that'll make an appearance in the comic at a certain point. It was pretty much my first foray into actually designing a character. And I wanted to see how unique I could go.

This is what I was streaming the other day.

Really, it was just meant for me to practice female anatomy, because that was one of my biggest weakpoints. I hope I did alright. Especially considering how god-awful the last one looked. Quick little bit of a cel-shading and off to make my gallery less barren!

I also added a Gliscor, because it's my bae. <3

Hope you likey! Off to continue work on the update now. Hehe

*I really should start signaturing these things...*

The posing for both is superb! Gliscor in particular looks so cool

Gliscor is the man. Not even a doubt about it.

That Gliscor is fab! Β 

As for Gwendolyne, everything looks great for your first time drawing female anatomy. Maybe this is my eyes failing me (bad eyesight and all XD), but there's something off about the area between below the neck and above the waist...I think (and I'm not trying to sound like a perv XD) her breasts are a bit low. Usually, for women, when the breasts are that low, it usually means they're a bit elderly. Other than that it's fantastic! Just keep on practicing and look up references. References are your best friends when it comes to drawing! Β

It might be the pose. She's bending a bit and all the references I did use for breast physics said to kinda bag them during that.

(It's so hard to do that and not have it look like I'm trying to make her sexy for the camera. >.<)

I'll chalk it up to inexperience and keep on drawin'! ;D

Thank you for the comment!

I just need to basically draw, draw, draw people at this point. Really nail it down. I think I'm good enough on Pokemon for now. xD

Gah, I hate human anatomy. This is why I want to make cartoons.

Working on your drawing is something you always have to do but I don't see what's clear to work on, both the Gliscor and the human look good but I think the Gliscor looks like..Β you know.. looks cool!Β Β

Very nice! Β The folds on her dress seem a little off, but other than that you did well with her I think. Β Her jacket is pretty interesting to look at, too. Β And of course Gliscor is just like "Yeah, you know I'm a badass. " Β Cool poses for them both.

"Reads description" I can relate to the pains of a barren gallery. I'm wanting to start submitting artwork to my own gallery, but as my skills are still making most of my works have the same amount of appeal as medusa's face, I feel I can't put anything up until I've improved it a bit more.

I wasn't expecting the response to my comment to be a pep talk. How long it take you to upload your first piece to your gallery by the way? I've been on the site for about a year now, and I still have only a journal on my page (Do think its weird that my page has watchers on it, a few of whom I've never even talked to on the site before?)

Rasarak In reply to Gameb9oy [2014-04-29 20:16:12 +0000 UTC]

The first piece I put up was a very, very, VERY bad Kirby picture about a year ago. Back when this was the best I could do; imgur.com/oWBw96j
I couldn't even draw Kirby at one point.

I uploaded the Classroom thing as the first page of my sketchbook based on a D&D game I was playing at the time. Back then, I thought it was damned good. (Completely ignoring the effed up perspective and terrible linework.)

I have a whole bunch of drawings from my sketchbook that I never uploaded here, all from last November where I did a challenge to draw something every day while all my friends were attempting NaNoWriMo. (I succeeded)

I added my first digital drawing here about 4 months ago. imgur.com/P8vM6xy
Which I promptly deleted because A: It's crap, and B: It gave people some false ideas about my Nuzlocke that has changed drastically since then.

I spent the next two months working on the first page and random art for practice to get used to my tablet. President Squirtle was one of them. I did that for a friend's profile picture on Facebook.

The improvement I've gone through has been based on nothing at all but hard work, dedication, time and effort. Months upon months of saving art tutorials and watching tutorial videos, soaking in all I could absorb. And I'm still nowhere near satisfied with my skill level at all. I pretty much hate every piece I do five minutes after finishing it. The anxiety of showing literally anything to all of you is almost crippling. That's the main reason I basically died after Yin recommended me.

But I press on, because I desperately want to. And if I can do it, anyone can. :3

I know you're trying to motivate me, but you don't really need to do that as I'm already working to improve my art skills. And I'm sure you're not exaggerating your reaction to Yin's recommendation. How'd she come across your page anyway? You only have a few art pieces up right now (something which I'm hoping is only temporary.) and I don't think she'd just find your comic by chance when there's currently only one page up

Rasarak In reply to Gameb9oy [2014-04-30 01:08:29 +0000 UTC]

Well... that was a tepid reaction. xD


I'm sure she found it because I uploaded the first page to a Nuzlocke Comic group. That's where I got like 20 watchers before the explosion. She must have just happened upon it.

Sorry about not having a very good reaction, but when I read a comment that's obviously just trying to motivate me, it ironically does zilch.

How you adjusting to "the explosion" as you put it? (I saw that one page over has over 300 comments now, so I'm hoping you're not gonna get a big head like some nuzlockers I've seen)

Noted.

My head is firmly the same size. 500+ people liking a comic strip does not a famous person make. Nor am I loving enough of my own art skills for that to be a problem. And that won't change even if by some grace of god that I get 10,000 watchers.
I've never been an overconfident person, let alone arrogant.
