Art New Anime Character (early linework)

[James]

[color=#808080]Well, here I am again...with another original character.

This time, I'm going to show you the very early black and white linework, to get people's opinions on things like proportion/hair/etc.

When I finish the character, it'll be in full colour...with full shading and you'll see the entire body and weaponry.

I guess I just want to know what people think so far.

Oh and...bear in mind; things such as the nose won't look right yet, because the actual shading is needed to create form. So in an absence of shading, all you're seeing is the raw early linework. ^_^;

EDIT: Ah beh...I just realized that the right side of his hair doesn't look right. Oh well...I'll fix that for the final image. ^_^;;;;[/color]

[Transtic Nerve]

Is that Kylie in your avatar?

Anyway, for some odd and strange reason, that drawing reminds me of you. Yeah... lol. I really like it. It's cute. Th hair is nice, reminds me of that guy from that one FF game... the little monkey kid. yeah

[color=#808080]Kylie in my avatar? o_O;;

I'm going to make a .hack styled costume for this character, though it will probably be more understated than most of the characters in the series.[/color]

[Sara]

[size=1]I like it. Very clean. I like the eyes, and the style of the top.

How long did you spend on it? Just curious.[/size]

[TheShinje]

[color=blue]It looks really cool ^_^, It is better than what I've done so far with Rising Sun, actually, I think that particular style of eyes could suit the series better.

I like it James, can't wait to see the final product.[/color]

[Boo]

oooo! Looky! Its Squall junior!
hehe.
Anyways: Its very good and I cant see anything wrong with it right now (in the early morning)

[James]

[color=#808080]Sara; I spent about an hour on that design. Although, what I've shown here is just the upper part. During that hour I also drew the legs/arms and the rest.

The hardest part is by far the actual shading...I already have a couple of finished characters that need shading. :worried: [/color]

[Blade]

It looks great. However you should make the mair more of a middle-parting because the side-parting that hes got now looks wierd. Other than that it really good!!:)

Regards
Blade:naughty:

[Duo Maxwell]

Actually I like the side-parting, it looks better than a middle-parting.
Middle-partings are way to common.

That's really cool James, I can't wait to see the full finish, which I'm sure is gonna be excellent

[Syn]

Shexy, great job. Can't wait for the final result.

[Styra]

It looks great. I can't wiat to see how it turns out.

[SaiyanPrincessX]

I love it, it looks like a Kingdom Hearts character. ^_^

Very nice job James, I too can't wait for the final result.

*wonders thoughtfully*

Why are your pictures so crisp and clean?[/b]

I like shading too...I just hate drawing the eyes...stupid right hand eye o.-[/size]

[Guest Zeh]

[COLOR=003399]I don't [i]even[/i] bother to shade anymore... i'm horible at it >_<

James, thats awesome. Like AJeh said, your pics are always so crisp... and clean...

Thats the way i draw... i never color, and never shade o_O though my lines are never as neat. [/COLOR]

[silentdeath]

i thought that the eyes looked like michael jackson's.

i like it a lot.

i wish i had the patience to do something like that,
but,
somethings just can't be helped!
