neh, the second sketch has a rather flat head and pointy shoulders, but I like it. I wouldn't know if it looked like you, though. ^ ^

Medium is Crayola colored pencils. ::tear :: Oh well. I got bored during finals week, so I drew up this pic. In answer to what is generally the first question, it's a guy. Why he's sitting in a tree, I don't know. He likes to. I apologize for the crappy trees in the background. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=544886[/img]

Did you perchance take a digital picture of your pic? It's very dark, and not very clear. I do like the highlights in the hair, but the eyes are different sizes.

She looks rather anorexic (sp), and her arms are as long as her legs. Maybe that's what you were going for, but it's things that would annoy me. I like the overall idea, though I wonder how she dances on tombstones with those shoes. ^^

I really like how Sonic is standing out of the banner like that. The expression on his face is great, and I really like how the font compliments the context.

Yeah... I don't claim to be aiming to show perspective, though I should have. And because I took a digital picture of it, the colors are all screwed up. Plus, I was using crappy school acrylics. Hmmm. Interesting you say I should cut out the left side of it, since that's what I started with. Everything else kinda evolved into what it is now. I've always been rather poor at color schemes. Guess I'm a little too spontaneous for painting. ^^

Wow, they're all great. I've never really dealt with watercolors well, so I salute you. The Leo's lower face is slightly skewed. Darnit, I'm a Leo with short black hair that's really poofy... that's kinda scary. I really like all your other pics, and the style you use; especially the eyes

Hehehe. My art teacher said we could paint anything as long as it had perspection. I think I was the only one who took her literally. Working with acrylics is fairly new to me, and this is the first acrylic painting I've attempted like this. The digital photo deal also kinda damaged it. - -. O well, I like it and if she gives me an F, Nyagh. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=542681[/img]

I really, really hate being discouraging, but it's pretty poor quality. You're having problems with liquid, and that's a bad thing when dealing with blood vs water type of things. The rain is... it remains me, frankly, of dragging a rake through mud and leaving indentations. The katana's "hilt" is...interesting, seeing it's supposed to be metal, and the blade doesn't seem... balanced. FYI, use a ruler for anything straight. Blood has a thicker density than rain water, so try to keep that in mind when drawing such things. EDIT: Wow, was I in a bad mood. (Oh yeah, I failed my chem quiz.) It's a good intro page, but it has its faults, like everyone else's.

It's a picture of some of my original characters. Before I start a plotline, I try to do one of these to "finalize" my character designs. Eh... the guy in the back with red hair was drawn by pen only, instead of in pencil then inking, so ignore the clawlike hand, plz. - - The bg is really blah, too, but I didn't want to leave it white. Medium: colored pencil and pen, bg corel photoshop [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=541059[/img]

Your cg work never fails to awe me. The right hand looks a little funny, but it's difficult to draw it in that position. Her arms are rather thin, but hey, it's anime. The right leg's jeans look a bit odd on weight and all that, but wow. The lighting on metallic surfaces and the transparency of the curtains... wow.

He looks like he's top heavy, but just slightly because of how he's leaning forward. Just some proportional problems, like the arms being a tad short. Very well depicted, and shaded. The metal highlights (or leather) are done wonderfully. His feet seem to position him in a ballet pose, though... The bulging pack under his cloak (I'm assuming) doesn't seem to match the weight it suggests.

It sucks! Heh, not really, just here to be a pain in the a**. I vaguely remember this drawing. The only problem I really noticed is she doesn't have any whites in her eyes. The shading is wonderfully done, as every wrinkle is shaded. Her hair and eyes could be glossier, but they're fine the way they are now. The highlights are great, too.

Thanks! I decided not to use screentones in this page. (Ok, I was stuck at school and bored) It looks very... sloppy. - . - Still, I really don't feel like redoing the page... [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=539334[/img]

Tokyopop do the tone sheets for us? ::laughs :: Naw, you have to do them yourselves. You can either make your own screentones, or you can download some. Or buy them.

It's the oddest thing. You'd think resizing it would also resize the dots. I think that's the smallest I can go. ::grrrr :: Hopefully, Tokyopop has a much more sophisticated system than mine. Yeah, I started drawing authentic style, so I had to flip the pics on my computer. ^^ I've always done rather poorly on speech bubbles. : ( Well, here's the 4th page. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=538261[/img] Hey. The dots aren't that big on the original! @ @

Well, jeez. write that in your first post. Nyagh.... I still think that page won't conform to... what, 5"x7.5"? Keep an eye on bleed areas, too.

The left hand is very odd. The whole thing's all pixelated, and almost seemed like you didn't really draw it, but you saved it in gif, so... bits of the bg are not colored in, that patch around Ryoko's right leg and neck. Ryoko's left arm seems weird... kind of wavy. It's a great work of fanart, anyway. You almost can't tell it's fanart.

Great job once again! This is a banner that I personally feel does not need a border. The background creates a border effect that does well. I like how the only vibrant colors are the ones on the chara, which draws the attention.

ok. I'm going to be hypocritical. You must use a template for the speech bubbles. (I know, mine aren't much better..) Another "must": Use the mechanical guide! Looking at the intro, I believe the edges of the speech bubbles might be cut off in printing. Download the mechanical guide! You also MUST ink. The printing is strictly black and white. Even grays. If you look closely enough at manga, grays are tiny dots of black. Buy tone, or make your own screentones. Write clearly. Though the publishers will have someone who eventually redoes the font, they must be able to read it!

I wonder what Ranma would say... I really like the effects, and how the pic has the same lighting as its bg. The text's outline looks rather thin in some places, but great job.

I think it's cute. The font matches the context so well. ^^ Great job

I think it's choppy looking because I had to resize it. The other, larger, version doesn't look so bad... oh well. Thanks for the compliments. Here's page 3 [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=537406[/img]

Thank you. I wish I could make the gray smoother, but I'm using self manufactured screentones which will be choppy. Here's page two, if anyone's interested. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=537098[/img]

I'm back with another manga plot. Since I don't have another place to upload stuff, it'll take awhile to get the whole story out. It'll take awhile to get into the story, too. This was supposed to just be a practice manga, but with the Tokyopop deadline coming up March 15th, .... Anyways, I'd appreciate any constructive criticisms. 20- pages. fyi: if you don't like insinuations to people dying, don't read around page 5-ish nor the last page, whichever that is.
