Practice makes perfect!

I do think Final Fantasy tends to portray men as elegant since you rarely see the musclebound types casting magic.

 

Auron and Snow were some of their experiments I think. Snow is a favourite of mine though he did obsess over his girlfriend a bit 'too' much. I feel that he was there to balance out the cutish/beautiful types the majority of FF13 had.

 

Hence the reason why I'm gonna be playing a Roegadyn come launch, I gotta be there to balance out the other races. Plus I like their intensity. :mrgreen:

 

Drawing one of them would be a challenge.

 

(and yeah, Zidane was stupid)

 

EDIT: forgot the compliment the 2nd set of pictures. I like the little height comparison you did with your character in one ;p

 

I think final fantasy's portrayal of men is... not so great!

 

The leads are all so wimpy lookin', it's not good at all. I never played IX, or XII simply because the lead males are so unappealing!

 

I think XIII had some nice guys in it, Snow like you said. I also really liked Sazh though, he actually gave off a good father-ish feeling, and he didn't come across as trying to be manly or heroic (although his role as comic-relief black guy was less than fantastic).

 

 

 

I'd like to learn how to use my tablet so that i could colour stuff, unfortunately i can't get used to it,

I'd also like to be able to draw manly men!

 

 

Roegadyn are cool, i like the way they look, but i don't think i could play as one.

Most of those games its best to ignore the main characters and focus on the badass supporting cast.

 

Amarant

Steiner

Freya

and my favourite, Beatrix

 

With 12 it was much the same, best to ignore Vaan, he's not the bloody main character anyway its definitely Balthier... and that guy is many shades of awesome

[Tadir]

The Beatrix/Steiner storyline was amazing. I loved it. And Snow was one of the few male designs they've had that I really like...well...I guess I can't leave out the two male designs they did that are my favorites.

 

Edgar and Sabin Figaro. Somehow neither of them are overly feminine.

[Trizzip]

Thats just another reason why I love FF6 so much. The lead is a woman, so the whole 'feminine' aspect actually works for the lead on that one.

 

On another note, I officially have three fav. artists in the RPC, and you are one of them, that's for damn sure. I'd love to see a team of artists in the RPC get together and make a webcomic based on the roleplayers of FFXIV (something that could work in conjunction with the Eorzea 'Tribune' ((on whatever it ends up being called))

 

Whatever the case, in the future, I'm sure I'll commission some of you fine ladies to do some Brin artwork.

[Renaise]

.... Wow! Must resist urge to kiss you... lol I love them Don't worry the last thing I would be is offended

 

Awa wa~

 

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

 

I made a bad attempt at colouring one of the drawings on photoshop, should I post it up?

[Sylian]

Do it! >

[Zyanya]

I'm constantly in awe of the artistic talent in this forum. I'm particularly jealous of people who can take things from their minds and put it to 'paper' AND make it look effortless. I've tried my hand at drawing anime-style but I am just pants at it.

 

Makes me wish I'd kept up with studio art after Uni.... that was a while ago. I guess I can thank all of you talented types for challenging me to pick it up again.

 

Back on topic - I hope we'll see more of your work as it's fab!

DO EEEEEEEET!!! >

[Tagyr]

DO it!

[Veedo]

Eeet do!

[Renaise]

 

Think I can get a lot better at this with practice, but I'm not hating on it, came out okish lol

[Trizzip]

:approve: Seal of Approval :approve:

[Sylian]

Neat! Nice coloring job I love coloring myself.. maybe I'll give it a shot too. Thing is I'm used to working with photoshop files and layers so I don't have to watch the lines too much So coloring a jpg is harder.

[Noelle]

Ooh~ Awesome!

I really like it!

 

I hate colouring my stuff.

I can always see the mistakes I've made as I go around it, and it infuriates me. So I give up! ;_;

If you are coloring a jpeg i find it easier to duplicate the image into a new layer and set it's mode to multiply. If it's a black and white jpg the white will become transparent and the black will not change. Then lock the layer and paint on layers under it.

Hmm.. thanks for the tip. I'm going to give that a shot sometimes, see how it works out

[Ozak Kuzak]

I like the work, keep up the good work. Nice job on coloring Ren!!!

[Sylian]

I had a little time to spare this afternoon and felt like coloring something so.. this is what happened

 

 

I didn't really give it all the attention it deserved so it could have been better but I still like it anyway ^^ I also did a little 'inking' I'll do an entire picture of Ren sometimes, methinks. At some point And give it a little more time.

Damn you, actually thought mine was good for a little while there

 

Nice work ^^

[Noelle]

Ayaya~

that's awesome Sylian

 

And he's got a little blush!

 

I'm really struggling trying to do this colouring stuff! It's so hard! D:

Makes me realise how good people actually are compared to me, and how much harder I need to try!

[Trizzip]

I like the coloring you did on the hair. Very nice.

[Sylian]

Thanks, guys ^^ Yeah I gave him a slight blush Cute little Ren Ren...

 

I usually start with the hair (like that best too). and then if I'm rushing it out the rest is rather sloppy and quick And believe me, I always feel other people are better than me as well :roll:

[Noelle]

Well, finished working on my first colour image.

I'm actually feeling pretty proud of myself, if I can get away with saying that.

 

 

 

Reworking my character as I go, she came out real different than what I had initially planned; but I like her more.

Also character page update, for those that are interested. >_>

[Veedo]

You're hired!

Sorry I couldn't help myself, so much bosom.
