The drawing thread

Oh look, a nice woman in a pointy hat...

suddenly, a wild Pony appears.

This should be called "The attack of the Pony thread"

I met a guy named Sean at Sonic Boom; he said Comic-Con has been occupied by the Bronies.

Anyway!

FC - I'd say the comic is pretty good! It's more dynamic than some of my stuff!

Something of mine now:

Spoiler :

I have no idea how expensive SWATbots are a piece, but obviously not to given that small sum. Why? Because Robotnik's ORESOME. Like, rolling in ore. GET IT. Also a way to pronounce awesome with some accent. AHEM.

I'm going to start doing the actual strips in flats for the most part(shading will still be done on covers) to speed up the process.

Here, the Foreman is warning the unseen "Governor" of his concerns. To clarify: that is NOT Robotnik. Governors of Zones wear SatAM Robotnik-esque outfits.

Dear God it's refreshing to not draw trees, trees and more trees.

Also! I am taking cameos for Sonic Shift. There's no limit on cameos for your characters; I need characters for city scenes and such.

To prep myself for the inevitable hedgehog fancharacters, I've already made it canon that hedgehogs are one the more numerous species.

I'm going to give up on using the tablet. It hurts too much to hold the pen and it takes forever to draw even the simplest things like a straight line.

 

[Tee Kay]

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of tablets either.

Perhaps, but you don't get a chance to correlate pressure with opacity on a mouse.

 

[Takhisis]

Get a pencil and a scanner.

 

[Meteor Man]

But then you don't have the variety of brushes on a computer. Or the ability to manipulate layers.

I guess I like digital painting.

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

I usually draw something, scan it, then give it the Photoshop treatment.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

My scanner doesn't like my pencil drawings.

I guess I like digital painting.

But you can use half a dozen different pencils and also crayons and pastels and such by hand.
Still, as I don't have a scanner, I'm learning Inkscape. On that front, I'll upload my newly expanded font created through Inkscape calligraphy tomorrow.

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

I use a Canon PIXMA MP499. The image quality I get from it is very good;
here's something I scanned a couple days ago:

 

[Takhisis]

Wow. I want that!

 

[Tomorrow's Dawn]

Which ones?

The scanner?
The drawing?
Or the boy or the girls in the drawing? (Your preference, or all)

 

[Takhisis]

Well, not the boys. Yes to any or all of the rest. Mostly the scanner.

 

[Meteor Man]

me want the girl.

very nice work!

 

[Tani Coyote]

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of tablets either.

I'd use mine, but the sensitivity is garbage. I've gotten used to a mouse, anyway.

"I shall call them: Mini-Me."

Well, when you're near-unquestioned dictator of a planet...

>obligatory crack about how all OCs look the same<

No one knows how Sega manages to get the characters looking different. It's an art.

===Back to Regularly Scheduled Programming===

Spoiler :

Yep. DEFINITELY liking the lack of trees. The Foreman's name is revealed; will we see him again? Probably. But onto more pressing matters.

The perspective in the last panel is very odd, but overall I like how it came out. Originally the wall was much further back, so I brought it closer to prevent it looking like the Governor's in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Stillll taking cameos for Sonic Shift! There's no limit on cameos for your characters; I need characters for city scenes and such. Just VM/PM me if you'd like a slot.

The Foreman's name contains two horrible references in it. Can you find them?

Anyways, Day 2 of my WIP painting:

Background Info if you're too lazy to read the deviantART description:

[Takhisis]

I promised fonts, here's most of the special letters. I'll be doing the rest, signs, moar numbers, etc. later.

Very nice. Is this digital? Because if it is, there are some tricks that can help make the finished result awesome.
