Art of le Shocari

I know you posted this a while ago, but I just wanted to comment on something small in it. :x

First off, I really like it. However, one thing that I think I would have really liked in this particular sig is if you had obscured the face in the background in some manner (smudging would work, as a displacement would effect everything else and that would harm the strong lines that work so well). So yeah, other than that I love the sig. The background is just amazing looking, if I do say so myself. :v

Also, with your text in sigs; I feel you often try to go for too fancy of a text (believe me, I've been there :x). Just try using a more common place looking font, possibly something thick and using the trick to get texture and shaded color in your font from LoN's Cloud tut can make it look fancier and whatnot. Plus, it's more legible that way.

This man speaks sense, listen to him.

The other thing you might wanna avoid is a centralised focal point, check out the Rule of Thirds.

Be warned: my scanner has officially died and I need a new one. So I took a pic of the drawing, traced it in gimp, and proceeded to half-arsedly shade. This is my OC for Tailon's Digimon RP:



Since his Mega is Dynasmon, I used some of Dynasmon's design for his outfit.

HALF-ARSED COLORING IS HALF-ARSED.

REVIVAL BECAUSE I DREW SOMETHING :O


Based off of this image.








Yeah. Colored version is colored crappily. I left my tablet up at the dorms and I can't go back and get it and I also don't want to wait until Jan 14 before I can color this.

It's been forever since I drew something. BEAR WITH ME.

What do you mean crappy drawing and badly colored? Date Masamune never looked so badass!

Quite possibly my most favorite drawing I've ever done.



And the awesomely colored with colored pencils version that my scanner decided to fuck over.

:'D

I think this is really, really good, Sho. The linework is amazing in its simplicity, the proportions are just right- As is the perspective. You could try to use coloured markers instead of pencil in future drawings, but the coloured version looks good anyway ^^

So...I totally remembered I have a tablet :'D



Quite fond of this. The border was originally going to be the hands, but I decided against it and went with the shadows supposedly...drawing you in or something >>



Yeah, it's the God of Goatliness with a thousand arms. The background is utterly failtastic, but hey: it looks damn good as a thumbnail.

:'D

I rather like Confagrigus, as creepy as it is~

Something bothers me about Arcius, though. Perhaps it's the kinda not-too defined ish lines or something around its cheeks. Not quite sure, though D:

Decided to digitally color Nouhime:

Sorry for the crappy quality. I'm at the dorms and the scanner's at home, so I had to take a pic with my ipod. I'll upload a better version later. And a colored version.

Anyway, it's Sakaki, one of my OC's for my Code Geass fic.

What a lovely collection of drawings you've got here. And to top it off a Lady Butterfly picture or three. (Yes, I'm old school, she'll always be Lady B to me |D). I think I prefer the traditional colours to the digital but as you've stated your scanner is acting up so I can understand why you've been using digital methods. ^^

Lovely work, keep it up.

I may or may not have decided to make sigs at 3 am >>





I don't know what I was going for for either of them, but I do like that the colors for Lux match her abilities(ie rainbow death laz0rs)

Very nice, Sho! Brilliant job with the colours.
