Re: Practice makes perfect! - Xzenivar - 09-20-2010
Aw, these are so cute, I want one too ._. I really like how you did your noelle
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Tagyr - 09-20-2010
To show how much I like it, I've made a lame attempt at coloring it. Though with my shade blindness I'm not sure I did it well. (A kind of color blindness that makes it hard for me to differentiate colors close on the spectrum. And just so happens Thagyr is a lot of types of red/orange -.-)
Plus I'm bad at shading in general. But I gave it a shot, I like it thaaaaaat much.

Nice work as usual Noelle. ^^
And I was so confident that it was the most manly man picture I've ever done! D:

No need to apologise, I'm actually honored! I love it! It's very good. Kinda like a younger version of himself.
Bonus points for Blazblue references! Tager is my main obviously :p And your other pic makes me think of what would have happened if Taokaka went to the same school as Noel (and had her mask off).
Well, that makes me happy! :3
I kind've felt like I had to draw something catgirl and cute after doing Thagyr, but apparently Thagyr was already cute. Part of me really wants to know what taokaka looks like without her hood, but then I like not knowing!

I like it! ~♥
I like that you like it enough to do that!
It also makes me glad that you can tell I drew the Iron collar on him, since I was worried it looked like a messy jumble.
Evidently the appearance of the collar was influenced by Karura's. Though I was too lazy to do the chain.
-Hates drawing chains-

So, so...since you say you need more practice with males...
You could totally try Ty. With all his manly sexy piratey beardedness.
Please?
*puppy-dog eyes*
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Kidakatash - 09-21-2010
Great work you've done there!
Would it be okay to post some practising as well? :cat:
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Noelle - 09-21-2010
My hands are actually really bad. I have constant "shakes", which don't really hinder me in anything I do, but whenever they're not doing anything they tremble. It's freaky. ;_;
Though when drawing they're steady as a rock.
Thanks anyway though!

You mean post your own pictures?
Wouldn't it be better to create your own thread for that?
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Noelle - 09-27-2010
Sure, It's a double post, but it's an update!
So~
I had some computer problems yesterday and the day before, which took up way more time than I would have liked. Ultimately missed the "deadline" for the RPC banner contest, but since it's not closed yet, I still have a chance! ♥
So, my banner entry:
![[Image: 270910banner3.jpg]](http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6508/270910banner3.jpg)
I like doing the differences between heights and proportions of characters, it's fun and I need the practice of doing varying sizes.
Did this one of Ami Faye (Kittywizard) And Remilia too~!
![[Image: 260910amiremi.jpg]](http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/5500/260910amiremi.jpg)
Ah~ I could just eat Ami :3
Dissapointed with what available clothes I've seen ingame so far (as I've said a million times all over the place), So I just did whatever I felt like~♥
Edit: I'm no good at this resizing stuff, so you'll just have to do the righty-click + Veiw image thing.
I'll say sorry though! ;_;
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Asyria - 09-27-2010
Sooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
The Lalafel on the banner looks all puzzled, too!
Needs to be colored, I think!. ^^
As for the other pic, i cant decide which is more stare-worthy, Ami's adorable cuteness or Remilia's... yeah. ^^;
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Trizzip - 09-27-2010
Outstanding art as usual Noelle. Is the Rog. pointing at his scar to signify (Hey...check out this scar....I'm a pretty tough SOB) ? If so...that is classic and fills my heart with win.
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Tagyr - 09-27-2010
Banner
Miqote - ....I'm short...
Elezen - ...Your suppost to be looking at the camera..
Hyur - ..wait..*folds arms* are cameras in this world..hmm
Roegadyn - Camera? well hope they get my good side...see right here!
Lalafel - ...ooooooooh... :O
Hehe, nice work. And Ami and Remi looking as cute as always.
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Therese - 09-27-2010
Very nice! I really like how clean your art style is and how much depth your character's clothing are. It's really good. ^^
Oh and for resizing software, have you thought of using The Gimp? It's a freeware program that has a lot of nifty features... though it does take a bit of time getting used to it.
>.> <.< *disappears into the shadows before it's realized that nobody knows who I am...*
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Trizzip - 09-27-2010
If you have trouble with the Flash command, a really good way to fit the whole image on there is to 'Upload attachment'. It's the tab right next to 'Options'. This is located right below the 'POST A REPLY' box.
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Xzenivar - 09-27-2010
Great lineup in the banner
Tagyr's captions are also pretty spot on with what I thought when I looked at it.And the ladies are looking pretty cute, and quite attractive :approve:
*shines a spotlight on Therese*
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Noelle - 09-27-2010
Many thanks for all the positive comments and responces! ~♥
@Asyria
Thanks ♥
Coloured huh? =_=
That's a lot of work~ I guess I might try tomorrow.
Although I did want to play XIV.
>u> I wont lie, I like breasts.
@Brin Ahlrine
Haha~ Yeah he is! At first I wasn't really sure what to do with him. Then he just kind've ended up like that.
@Tagyr
xD
Well~
Actually there was a lot of stuff going through my head while doing all the pictures. They developed personality traits and stuff while drawing them too. My favorite is the elzen ♥
She's supposed to be a pirate >_>
And~ I had to avoid doing people's characters, steering clear of favoritismer-related stuff. Which was a pain (since I already have some characters drawn and could just re-do them).
@Therese
Thank you! ~♥
I'll have to take a look into this "Gimp" thing!
PS @Brin!
Ah~ I see it! Hrm, and it resizes stuff to fit? that's convinient!
Re: Practice makes perfect! - Therese - 09-27-2010
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is definitely worth looking into! The only problem is it's interface is not very user friendly (a lot of stuff I know is by poking around thing), but it does allow for some nifty tricks, like resizing and...
coloring :3
And there are LOTS of tutorials to figure things out.
