I am finding my tablet to be progressively more infuriating. Why does everything I draw turn out so much worse than if I had a pen and paper???? I do not know. In other news, to prove I'm not dead, here's a page of my notebook from work because it was super duper slow today. I also tried my hand at a Scaith but didn't like it lmao; gimme more reference pictures man

One of each race, feat. proper lip sizes on a certain barmaid
IMMA TRY AND DO MORE DON't worry (on my actual tablet... instead of attempting, hating it, and procrastinating until my next attempt which ends in the same result. RIP)

Hehe. I spy Hihisa! So cute! 

I think it's a matter of practice. For some, the transition from pen and paper to tablet is jarring, especially since it doesn't feel as right. This is how I feel when writing, I typically enjoy handwriting, but typing took some time to get used too.

Trust me when I tell you that I totally appreciate the sentiments of digital vs. traditional art, as I'm still working out my own kinks with the blending and color spectrum end of things. Usually I just end up cheating my way through it by smashing a boatload of colors in the same spectrum and just rubbing them all around with the smudge tool until they 'seat' within the lines. Many are my feels for you.

Just the same, I have to say you've got a very nice style - fluid and crisp. I'll be keeping an eye on you buddy, you're going places. If you're looking to get help on coloring guides, there's a plethora in step-by-step format up on deviantart, a quick google search should set you straight. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Those ARE so cute!! :-D keep it up! :-D

As others before me have already said, it's going to take some time and practice to adjust. Though I'm sure once you're comfortable transitioning between "traditional" art and digital will be a breeze for you. From what I've already seen (using Aya's picture as an example) you're already well on your way!

P.S. Lmao @ Feine's mug. That grumpy face is perfect, thank you!

Your art style is amazing! ^^ don't give up! I have several artist friends and they all told me that the transition from traditional to digital was really tough on them. But once you figure it out it's a sharp curve of skill and time efficiency.

Those last doodles are extremely cute too!

I attempted some more


A Nailah. She looks strong


And a Leanne. She looks like she'd have a good smile

They've both got that "would-totally-be-better-on-paper" thing, but they're just sketches, w/e. Gonna go for fullbodies next- Hien and Arzilia because they're the only other two models who haven't had anything at all yet orz. Oh, and Scaith, but I gotta get more references

Holy crap I adore this style!! This is so cute and expressive and I love it! :D Do you take commissions? I would adore a ToonSteel. :3

If you need more reference pictures you just let me know! You can use whatever set she has on those pictures, or even anything fancier that you'd like! (since I'm still progressing through the game, I'm stuck with the early-mid game stuff) ^^

1, 2, 3, 4


Ahh, Aya and Nailah, those pictures are amazing! I hope I can up my ante soon!

Lol for as long as I've been away, it's kinda cute to see a quick sketch of my char from a long time ago! I'm back as well, though it depends on how my schedule goes to see how often I'll be around constantly!

Hi there,

I don't have a screenshot of my guy but I have drawn art of him, myself. Would you like to practice him? He's a nice easy human.
