My first Anime (Or human) CG.
- Thread starter Numb
- Start date
Just wondering... would you like to pursue this as an art type and be a nobody or try and make something new and exciting?
I like the fact that you take pride in your art... and it is good, but I would implore you to take a path in art that isn't so widely used. If you could try and make some more realistic art, I would love to have you work with me and my team on an upcoming game.
As for c&c... I would say that she is a little too bright and the outline a little too dark. If you could soften the outline, this might look a bit nicer. Just don't do a little too much correcting with the dark line or else it'll look funny.
Good color choice.

C&C- It looks decent for anime but i suggest you really get to work on your painting, staying within the lines and trying to figure out skin tones and color theory would be a good start.
As for this comment i agree on some parts, all but the trying to hire you part. You should probably delve into some of the more....deep ends of art if you know what i mean. Realism is a hard quality to find in artists these days. Thats what separates the boys from the men, if you only draw anime and huge eyes with pointy hair and big swords then youll be stuck in a rut. No way to better your artistic skills.
Just some advice and i would encourage you to keep drawing and not take any of it hard. You asked for c and c, thats what youre getting. If you want an ass pat go to deviant art.

I drew anime because I did not have a scanner to upload an outline.
D:.
If I had a scanner I would draw the art you wanted me too XD
1) CG is a good coloring style -- I don't play on doing ANIME I just decided to color it for practice.
2) When did I take pride in my art? I said it is my first anime CG and I asked if it was okay for the first time :|. And CG takes hours. That girl took me 2 days. (Not full) just to color. If I helped you with your game you would have to pay me because I have better things to do.
3) Or make the outline a little less thick :|. It does make it look a little --- funny.

Hmmmm.... I
m not sure about paying. I don't make anywhere near enough money to pay anyone. The problem on my end is that I'm saving for a wedding... x.x
It's only a small one this year but next year, we're doing the big thing. I would pay if I could. Maybe a demo and some story stuff would be sufficient? (final copy when the game is complete)
lol, I know it won't be but I figured I'd try.

Barchetta, trying to recruit people is frowned upon (make a note in your project thread or your sig instead of running around asking people), but if you must, do it in PM. It's unlikely you'll accomplish anything without offering money, though. In any case, derailing other people's threads is uncalled for!
As for the piece itself, I agree with badmonur. Additionally, you need a lot more contrast in your shading, attention to light sources, etc. You seem to ignore a lot of the finer points of the line art in your shading, like the folds in the skirt, but I'd say your biggest problem is lack of shadows. I'd recommend drawing a few things from life so you can get a better feel for how light works, because right now the lack of deep shading prevents your thing from looking fully three-dimensional. Also, remember to pick shades that are bluer than your base color for shadows (similarly, highlights should be yellower, not just lighter).
I like the airy feel of the piece, though. And yeah, it's fine for a first attempt, but you've run into the same problems a lot of other people do. One warning: I don't know if you've done this or not, but don't use Photoshop's dodge and burn tools for coloring. Carefully selecting colors has a huge impact on how good your piece looks, and you really don't want to let Photoshop do it for you, particularly since it doesn't do it well.

<.< You'd have to pay me in cash.
I have better things to spend hours on art for a game that you might quit, or that I don't like the story of.
It would have to be in cash. I am sure you could find someone to do art for free, but CG takes long periods of time and it would be hard to find an artist for free :|.
^.^ And congratz on marriage. (Are you married or a sibling/friend?)

The way you've typed that makes it seem like you're an amazing drawer who's done hundreds of pictures and can't offer your "professional" services to him cause he can't pay you. Your picture isn't bad, but it isn't amazing either, it's just average, and the fact that you've gone for a style thats overused these days, just makes it worse, maybe you should try your own art style.
And if you say "Well I'd like to see you draw better"... I specialise in Pixel Art, not Anime drawings.

Nah, it's just time consuming and I don't want to do it. I am sooo not professional, if I had imgzoom tags on that you'd notice that I didn't even erase all of the blots of extra color outside of the lines. CG isn't overused either >.>. Unfortunately I limited to CG or cheap paint doodles because I don't have a scanner. D:
LunarEclipse":2z2zehb2 said:
Why are you trying to make yourself sound better by calling it CG, yeah anything thats drawn using a computer is CG, so hows about we just go back to calling it Anime, like it is, if CG isn't used, explain deviantart, every fucker on there uses CG, so are you telling me it isn't overused ?
When I say change style, I mean, don't make your characters look like some Anime narutard, cause that doesn't exactly build talent, thats just copying someones idea and it's the "easy" way of drawing cause of how simplistic you can make things, as I said, I suggest you try your own art style.

jbrist, calm the fuck down. It is entirely customary for an artist, regardless of skill, to want compensation for his time if some random person tries to recruit him. Moreover, he never said he was a GREAT ARTIST or anything, and CG is a perfectly accurate description of this picture, so I fail to see what your problem is. I also thought I remembered getting the impression he didn't draw it, but I could easily be wrong--if so, yes, that was really lame not to specify, so LunarEclipse, make sure you don't do it again or I'm busting your ass for plagiarism. In any case, jbrist, you didn't know that he didn't draw it when you started picking a fight with him. Given your history, I'm warning you. LE, thanks for not taking the flame bait.
Oh yeah, I already spoke to Barchetta, but just so everyone else knows, don't go around derailing threads. Put a note in your PD thread and in your sig, and if you absolutely must ask an individual for his help, PM him.

I'm actually the one getting married. It's going to be in June. I can't wait! ^^
Mostly to get out of Florida but being with her forever sounds like a pretty cool thing! ^^
I won't get all mushy on you guys =P
Hey, let's try to stay on topic, okay? The thread got derailed enough as it is with jbrist arguing. Everyone go back to critiquing! ~Perihelion

I am for you Barchetta XD.Well... like I said, the picture has a good feel to it. The colors are a little too bright for my tastes but I'm kind of a dark person. I suppose they fit her personality well, though.
It's good that you do shadow and highlight correctly. I'm thrilled to see that you can do that effectively. I have trouble with that sometimes... x.x
Well, I'm off. Good luck with your work and I hope you keep getting better. I would like to see some more of your stuff sometime.

I don't know a lot of anime series other than the really big ones like DBZ, Chobits, Naruto (regretably), Inuyasha, Bleach, Death Note, and Tenchi Muyo. This character doesn't seem to fit any of those so, I apologize for that.
Well, I'm going away now. I've got to stop replying to everything >.<
I'm becoming a forum monster. :devil:
