Storm

Because it's a cat in a costume. No, seriously.

Don't be afraid to critique. Seriously. Torso piece I did with Charcoal. Trust me, looks much better in the picture than it is in real life... Trying to do a charcoal practice drawing on the Zinogre. Sheesh, it's been a while since I've worked with charcoal, I feel rusty... Gesture practice. I think it's alright, but I'm sure the better artists here see the flaws. Imageshack keeps saying the file is too big to upload whenever I try to fix the orientation, so sorry... I did this today. Done on Colors 3D, never finished, but I think at this point it's still easy to tell what I was doing wrong or right. I think the face is pretty okay, I think the body is where the trouble started. I did this one a few weeks ago. This is a body drawing. I always get the feeling that my leg muscles are lacking... (both in real life and in drawing, I can barely run a lap...) This is my cat. Well, what do you guys think? Where can I make improvements? Please don't just give me compliments or insults. I can't really get better if people don't tell me what they like or don't like!

I think I just had an orgasm. 2 of them.

Go ahead and message me, it'll help me practice some skills I've learned and maybe even get better myself. Spire seems to know what he's talking about better than me, though, so you should ask him if he's fine with it.

Hey, not to sound mean but if you're trying to make a quality comic then you're gonna have to work even harder. You need to take critiques more to heart rather than just "I'll do it later". I know it takes a LOT of work to make a comic. Trust me, I was in an Academy of Art summer program making a comic myself and I know. I did it by hand, including the lettering. When people point out a lot of flaws in your plan, then it's time to change things up, and I know you've probably already got a lot of work from school, but I had work when I did mine too. I know that people have different ideas of managing their work, but if you're trying to be serious then you gotta find the time and you need to make the most out of it.

Don't make the panels so big for something as simple as ( ... ), you need to really consider how you use your space. In fact you should always conserve space and save the big shots for drama. Not only that, it'll help with the negative space problem. Also try to vary the shots a little more. Too many medium shots! If I were you I would've put the (...) in the same panel as the masked guy's dialogue.

An OOT Hack that's not trying to be dark and edgy with BLOOD and Dark Link plastered all over it and is actually trying to be fun and not overly ambitious? Dear God, finally. I applaud you with my hands and feet. No, seriously. I swear a lot of the hacks here have the same grim dark uber deep theme (No offense). It's about time we get something that focuses on fun. (Other than Zelda's Birthday, of course)

STOP MOONING ME

As other people have said here, I think some areas look a tad bit too big and empty. However, I still find that it's looking very nice! I hope to see more of this! Now I just gotta wait till someone remakes Zelda 1 in Ocarina of Time..

You've really improved over the years! I love those designs! Here are some tips though: - Too much negative (empty) space around characters. - Too much white, especially in the second page. - Perspective needs work. - Don't make too many bleeding shots (Where a character pops out of a panel), save that for actual action scenes! - Character posture is stiff. - Font is alright, but probably make it a tad bigger. Here's a tip: Make the most out of your pages! Also plan out your panels more. Experiment with your shots. Here's how I would've probably done it. Probably with even less white and bigger or more panels, but I don't know what happens next in your story.

I AM STORM- meh. New member here.

Pokemon X and Y thread! I'm surprised there isn't one... What's new so far in case you haven't kept up: *Customizing Trainer Accessories will be available to customize your trainer. *Horde Battles Up to 5 Wild Pokemon can attack you at once now. *Photo Spots You can now take photos of yourself in the overworld. *Sitting on benches You can sit on benches now. SIT. ON. BENCHES. *Sky Battles Special battle for anything that can fly. *Poke-Amie Nintendogs X Pokemon. *Mega-Evolutions Some Pokemon can enter a Super Saiyan state! *Super Training EV training, but actually fun and in the form of mini-games. *2 sets of starters to choose from (Kalos and Kanto) Exactly what it sounds like. *Fairy Type Super-effective to Dragon! Some Pokemon have been retyped to Fairy. *PSS (Player Search System) Let's you find people who also play Pokemon X and Y. *Riding Pokemon You can now ride certain Pokemon out on the overworld. *Pokemon Bank For only 5 dollars a year, you can transfer your Pokemon from the DS games into X and Y! First month is free! Anyone else picking up this bad boy? If you are, then what Starter you picking? What's your favorite reveal so far? What do you think of Mega Evolutions? What do you think of Kanto Starters being available? So far I'm really enjoying how this generation is looking. I think the designs are great so far, with my only gripes being against some of the Mega Evolutions like Megastoise's derpy eyes and Megazard's vestigial wings. Another thing that's really bothering me is that also I don't like how lazily animated some Pokemon feel.
