Description Download to see much larger... but... i failed in some points..

These are Original Characters of some of my friends here on Deviant Art. ^_^

Respectively from right to left.


Drawing all these characters was a very difficult job to do.
Since all my friends have different drawing styles.

I had to study their artwork and figure how I could Make it my own, while keeping the original look of the character that's been drawn my the owner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm actually not really done... I kinda wanna add an interesting background. But idk... im never good at backgrounds. >_<

Ok, lets talk about the drawing.

First - The lineart. It's supposed to be rough.
Second....
~HaydenM I'm sorry... I failed at drawing Aria...

That drawing as you know is the old sketch i did of her back then. I didnt really want to draw another picture of her, but I couldnt find the original sketch, so I had to use the crappy copy of it on my old account.

The quality was low, but i also needed to stretch it larger to fit with the other drawings.
Her eyes were redrawn with photoshop, but i hate it... it doesnt look right...

As for *buuzen 's Fuuchou I couldnt really use my lineart for it. I needed it to look like your style. So i had to kinda draw a quick rough lineart for him in photoshop.

As for ~Demonic-Pancake 's Chizuko and ~Panshi 's Aqua, I believe they look the most accurate to the originals.

I had to create several special brushes in order to get the look of traditional coloring.

Oh.... man... now *Blanke 's character Terra... omg.. It was hella hard to draw. Even though she looks so simple it was difficult since his style of art was so much more different than mine and the others.

I think i did pull it off tho. I does look like her a bit. ^_^

Ok, so as for *deceivingxpurexeyes 's character Vera.
This was the first drawing I drew, this was when i first thought of the idea of drawing my friends OC's.

That's why it looks much more like my own style. But, I did keep to the original. And i like it alot.

Now, as for ~Tiiramisu 's Summer character. It was hard, very hard to draw. Her style was kinda different too. I think i did a good job, but it's not exactly what i wanted. I wanted it to look more like tiiramisu's style.

All in all, I very much like the drawing. But..

I am gonna do another one!!!! With maybe the same characters or add others too!!!

But next time. Im gonna spend more time on it, and make it look nice ^_^

I hope everyone likes it


That first comment... I'm sad!!!! IT MADE ME WANNA CRY!!! AND THAT I FAILED!!!


I wonder if you guys actually read all this... >_<

WOW this is incredible!!! I can see why it is your best tribute! What was your trick to figuring out how to make them have their own unique avatars?

Ah thank you ^_^

Well, those characters really aren't avatars.

I just looked through their gallery, and looked for one of their own original characters to draw.

For example... has two OC's, and i just decided to draw Chizuko. ^_^

Did you try asking that commenter to elaborate? But some people will complain just for the sake of complaining, so don't get bogged down in it- you succeeded massively in what you sought out to do with this. You didn't do this to please every person on the planet, you just wanted to pay a cool tribute to some of your friends, right?

I'm lovin' the rendition of Terra. Now that I see you draw her, I realize how simple of a design she had all along, but she looks great with the marker-style coloring. The way you drew her, she's clean and uncomplicated. (Maybe my old Terra design was more like Megaman, and her new look is more like Megaman X. . . )

Other than Terra, obviously, my favorite characters here are Aqua and Fuuchou. Their darker colors help balance out the rest of the picture, and prevent the varied cast from looking like "too much." Fuuchou looks like he approves of his placement, with a bevy of busty ladies to the left and to the right.

ahaha... yeah.. you're right. You're always right about these things...

"You didn't do this to please every person on the planet, you just wanted to pay a cool tribute to some of your friends, right? "Yes, I couldn't have said it any better.

Im very glad you like my drawing of Terra and that I helped shed some light on her design. ^_^

Ahaha thanks. The placement of most of the characters were mostly random. But you know, sometimes things just work out so well in the end, lol. XD

Yeah i needed a guy in it, - I thought of Fuuchou in that instant.. ^_^

SayonaraRevival [2008-10-14 23:52:12 +0000 UTC]

there are some people who exist to be totally blunt
and they're really really hard to please
sometimes even professionals don't please 'em
so don't worry about that.

I don't know the original styles nor any of the characters but I think it's nice o3o so!

*o* oh man I love the colouring, I absolutely adore Aria in pink! I haven't even thought about using pink... but this is proof that it's an awesome combination.

..it also doesn't help I didn't give her a whole lot of clothes before.. lol.

It's a real shame you lost the high-res lineart... I'll have a look and see if I have it myself. ^^
As for the eyes, I think you just need some light blue shading along the inside of the eyelids.

Awesome work Tom :3

smilingturtle In reply to HaydenM [2008-10-15 02:51:29 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. when i see her, for some reason i think of cute pink stuff.. XD lol. ^_^

... ahaha yeah.. she doesn't wear much clothing, ahaha.

I'm gonna draw another one of these OC crossovers- I'll put more effort in it this time though! ^_^

Thanks so much Hayden!!

Don't worry about "bad comment", people don't really know always how to make it "constructive". ^^

Anyway, I think it's really cool to see a lot of different style-character here x3

Fuuchou's surruonded by ladies! XD Awesome work with all these characters! Your effort shows through and this needs much praise! :3

Don't be so discouraged about what one person says. All these characters in one page will be adored by all who own them and others who see your contributions.

smilingturtle In reply to buuzen [2008-10-15 03:24:36 +0000 UTC]

Hey - I have questions about Fuuchou.

What kind of abilities does he have?
Is he more like a tenchu shinobi or like a naruto shinobi?

Can he use kage-bushin?

I need to know this for the next drawing im doing... hehehehe XD

buuzen In reply to smilingturtle [2008-10-15 04:12:02 +0000 UTC]

here's an old description of him. It needs to be updated but basically he's a onmyou-dou user ninja. ^^

smilingturtle In reply to buuzen [2008-10-15 05:30:32 +0000 UTC]

Ok thanks alot!! This'll come in handy!

Oh, and so.. since he uses earth based ninjutsu- would it be possible that he can create clones of himself with dirt or something right...?

buuzen In reply to smilingturtle [2008-10-15 05:52:35 +0000 UTC]

i think i want to the veto the earth element from him. For bunshins he'd use shikigami. Folded pieces of sutras that can mimic forms.
