He aint a chick. It's that annoying Inuyasha bastard that's who he is. It's mentioned in the description.

You mean the background? What i had in mind was to have emphasis on the figures.

A good background enhances the image, not detracts from it. Interesting concept, face on the gored guy looks a bit odd.

Should have done him with a gaping mouth, or look of pure fear shown in dsm's stories (this is the guy getting his spine ripped out yes?)

Well i'll give the background some thought, maybe some clouds and lightning.

True, but it's easy to fuck up a background and...let's face it, a bad background does detract from an otherwise good image.

So. In other words. Learn to draw backgrounds? Intresting.

looks like someone came to the obvious conclusion :)

[Coopersville]

Everyone so hates Inuyasha...

A fanboy would say that such a blow wouldn't kill Inuyasha anyway, and considering the bend in his spine, his neck wouldn't be arched back.

Otherwise, sexy pic there; 'ever do any Yoai, or consider it?

[DOOM Anomaly]

!?!??!?

First of all, such a guy would never be able to beat Inu-Yasha. And second of all a mere punch like that wouldn't do anything near like that to him. Double-You-Tee-Eff-Questionmark

Nono. you know how it goes "Drawing that would ruin it because I can't draw it.. so why bother"

I'm going to rant here, and it's nothing (much) against blue sonnet personally. People need to learn to draw realistically before they even THINK of stylizing. I'm sick to death of legions of anime fanboys churning out boatloads of poorly structured crap with no artistic merrit.

Actually, people jumping on the Japanese-Style bandwagon annoy me for other reasons. Anime bores me, the artform probably reached its peak during the late 80's and people drawing in this style en-masse are doing nothing to stem the beating that the poor dead horse is getting.

I'm far more impressed by an original idea than by a carbon copy of a masterpiece.

[Nmn]

I must agree with that.

[kristus]

Yeah, same here.

[BlueSonnet]

Its kinda a mixed bag for me. On one level i'm like "Hey i'm an artist! I'll draw what i want." but on another level i can agree. I won't deny that i've seen crappy interpretations of the anime artstyle in my time, and i don't deny i get a bit pissed when i see it get away with being called "good work". I'm also aware of the dangers of recycling a style and trying to have a different interpretation with it. Some of it makes me puke. Does anyone know of the comic they did for the game chaos league? Now that was a horrible-looking comic. It's a good representation of the danger of just jumping ahead without understanding the essence of what they're trying to interpret.

But i'm not kissing up though. On the other hand i can argue that all that stuff mentioned above is what being an artist is all about. Quite a few famous artists in history have done something similar to taking a foreign artstyle and making something of their own out of it (i can go on but i won't). As my art teachers keep telling us at college, "We progress through questioning, not just through receiving answers".

Personnally i think there's good and bad examples. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't assume i'm a god at what i do nor do i assume that my work is something super fresh. But at the end of the day, if i never had some inspiration, whatever it might be, to start off with, my progression in skill wouldn't have gone any further than drawing stickmen. Until the day i start a revolution in art or whatever fate has in store, i'll always keep practising with what i've got.

I say let us have our fun while it lasts.

darknation said:

I agree here. Perfect a realisticly-drawn figure and you could probably perfect it in any other way.

Other than that i think the need to draw something more real-looking is right round the corner. The pendalum swings in both directions for me as far as hobbies go.

Edit: I'm taking some of this back. I do what i want.

[darknation]

I think what I'm trying to say is you should be able to look at an image and tell instantly who drew it. (assuming you are familiar with the guy's work, obviously)

Innovation and originality are everything. And that's why 99% of everything I see fails it.

[Spike]

I am that 1%. Rawr.

Oh good lord I agree with dn... in fact. I've been wanting to say this very thing for years.. maybe I'm being to polite... maybe I should become grumpy and abrasive as well. ;)

[Spike]

You should. That grumpy thing is infectious. The same goes for written work - most of what i've read is absolute shite (and that includes some of mine).

Yeah i thought people would say that, then i thought fuck it.

[Coopersville]

Oh, look what I have in store for you... >8)

<[-FF-]Servo> I just noticed
<ZlSCHEN> The guy has a nutsack for a chin.
<[-FF-]Servo> It looks like the little guy
<[-FF-]Servo> Is reaching for the other dude's nuts
<Acid^Rogue> 8D
<ZlSCHEN> He's thinking about it, too.
<[-FF-]Servo> Lol.
<Acid^Rogue> Maybe he is, but he's disgusted about it
<Acid^Rogue> and that's what's important
<ZlSCHEN> but he'll need to reach higher. Because that dude's nuts are in his chin
<[-FF-]Servo> LOL
<[-FF-]Servo> http://members.cox.net/volks/gay.jpg

Acid^Rogue mumbles something about sleeping, like he always does.

<[-FF-]Servo> Now that's the gayest thing I've ever seen myself edit.
<Acid^Rogue> Looks the same

Acid^Rogue scrolls down

<Acid^Rogue> OH SNAP!
<Acid^Rogue> .... OOOOOOOH SNAP!
<[-FF-]Servo> By the way is that guy farting?
<ZlSCHEN> Lmao, excellent job Servo
<Acid^Rogue> Those are action lines to symbolize he's thrusting in that direction
<[-FF-]Servo> 8)
<[-FF-]Servo> Lawlz
<[-FF-]Servo> That just makes it gayer.
<Acid^Rogue> What I don't get is why Coopersville has a nutsack in his armpit now
<[-FF-]Servo> Lol
<[-FF-]Servo> Have you been having those strange thoughts again?
<ZlSCHEN> lmfao
<[-FF-]Servo> Oh shit
<[-FF-]Servo> I just noticed that
<[-FF-]Servo> Hahahaha
<[-FF-]Servo> Oh man
<[-FF-]Servo> That actually made me laugh for real
<Acid^Rogue> Oh, it's his thumb
<[-FF-]Servo> Yeah, I figured it was part of him
<[-FF-]Servo> When I moved him
<ZlSCHEN> Oh man
<ZlSCHEN> that hurt
<ZlSCHEN> :D

<[-FF-]Servo> http://members.cox.net/volks/gay2%20copy.jpg
<[-FF-]Servo> Fixed.
<[-FF-]Servo> 'Men' is kind of small.
<[-FF-]Servo> Oh, well.
<Acid^Rogue> uff
<Acid^Rogue> There's still more that could be done to it
<[-FF-]Servo> True
<[-FF-]Servo> http://members.cox.net/volks/gay3.jpg
<[-FF-]Servo> Shitty colorized
<[-FF-]Servo> It looks like a child colored it
<[-FF-]Servo> I misse part of his hand
<[-FF-]Servo> Oops.

ZlSCHEN likes Servo's coloring job.

<[-FF-]Servo> 8)
<ZlSCHEN> I see you preserved Coopersville's red hair.
<[-FF-]Servo> I don't know what color he used for his skin.
<[-FF-]Servo> So I just used yellow.
<[-FF-]Servo> Because I had to take a piss.
<[-FF-]Servo> And that color popped up.
<ZlSCHEN> Makes it look like that shitty Dragon Ball Z stuff.
<ZlSCHEN> Haha.
<[-FF-]Servo> .
<ZlSCHEN> He's grabbing the final two balls in that pic.
