Doted Upon by Yours Truly
Approved by Bulbasaur4

DISCLAIMER: Stick anything and everything you think is relevant to art of your RPG characters here. Comments should not actually be in art critic form unless the person who posted the picture asks for it; it's more to stuff like "WOW that looks exactly like [insert character here]!" or "Awww, you got [insert character here]'s hair wrong!" etc. Well, no, I don't want to make too many rules about what and how to comment so just use your integrity? Do bear in mind you might tick the artist off if you comment out of vein, though.

Rules, in no particular order
1. No double-posting... there's a Modify option on the post for a reason...
2. No nudity for reasons including that this would NOT be a mod-approved topic and thus nonexistent if nudity was allowed
3. If it's a large picture, try to link it and not display it with the img tag.
4. No outrageous bashing allowed. If you feel there is something horribly wrong with the picture, say it so it's reasonable.
5. Comments work like normal replies. Pictures though come in forms:

Form
RPG Name: Link nicely to the RPG...
Description of Picture/Name of Character: *delete where applicable* Name the character if it's a character pic, and credit the creator if it's a fanart. Otherwise this is in effect a short note on what the picture is
Artwork: Linking to the picture here is very much appreciated
Reference: Link to the signup if it's a character, or related things like the character's weapon; link to the post if it's a scene or if it's a setting ie. a house/hall/temple
Personal Comments: What you think about your own picture. This can be bashing (self-bashing is allowed ^^''), technical stuff like what you used to produce it (ex. colour pencils? pens? Adobe Photoshop...?), bragging (also allowed) or basically whatever you like.

Requisite example:
RPG Name: Otherworld
Name of Character: Mara, who belongs to Weasel Overlord
Artwork: Here
Reference: Rhee’ualheu Mara Deiis’alu
Personal Comments: Used colour pencils, didn't layer enough so the neck (and almost everything else) looks scratchy and dodgy >< and she wasn't supposed to have come out so green.... uh... it just happened? *hides*

[Weasel Overlord]

[color=thistle]Woohoo! Dibs on first post again! Thanks for approving this, B4!

anyway...I have a contribution! ^^

RPG Name: Chronicles of the Rift
Name of Character: Morrigan, who belongs to me! ^^ *glomps him* And he apparantly looks like Jay Chou...O.o
Artwork: Peecture! ^^
Reference: Morrigan Broin Irven Macha, the Avatar of the Celtic Goddess Morrigan
Personal Comments: I drew him with a pencil...how exciting! ^^ I went over the pencil with a horribly scratchy fineliner, cos Vulpix stole my nice one...>< *glares at her* Although I think the scratchyness actually made it look quite cool...
I love the worried expression on his face! Which wasn't intended to be there...I only noticed it after I scanned him in! O.o
I copied Fiachra, the raven, from a picture of a raven, cos I'm not good at inventing my own stuff, as you'll all see in later days, when I clutter up this topic with my crappy art! *grins*
I also ahd much fun drawing the feathers...which I seem to have a fixation with lately...*strokes with faraway look in eyes*

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

I love you for posting Wurzel *huggles*
Oooh, it's my spiritual substitute for Jay Chou *glomps Morrigan* Although I think the best part of the pic is Fiachra... heheh...

RPG Name: Chronicles of the Rift
Description of Picture/Name of Character: This is Ryien! She is my character, and the little Gryphon is called Tako.
Artwork: Heeeere...
Reference: The Sign-ups..
Personal Comments: The picture was done with a pencil, and then done again with a Uniball pen! ( you know, those cheap things at Target!) This reminds me of how I really need to buy some good art things instead of cheaping out at Target. In anycase, I do like the tattoos... just because Ryien kicks ass....

[Hyperness is a Good Thing]

Hello.. Nah, I don't draw as you well know.. Just wanted to post up a pic that inspired my newest characters!

RPG Name: W.O.O.H.P Spy Training School The Sequel
Description of Picture/Name of Character: er a photograph. Cos reading one of the other topics about character stereotypes that you like to work with and all.. I wanted to try a rather ditzier type of character..blonde too since my characters are almost never blonde. All credit for the photo goes to the site I took it from - Ultimatelooks.com
Artwork Photo: http://i2.tinypic.com/rj41mo.jpg
Reference: Craven in the same link as above.
Personal Comments: I was just randomly looking through some hairstyles for my character, and wah lah, I found one that sort of suited the description I had in my mind.. but of course Craven doesn't look at all like that..just her hair is similiar. I personally would never think of trying that colour(blonde on Asian skin? Naaaaah), but heck, Craven's dark skinned, so it would make a nice contrast. ^_^ Note that I said Craveb was inspired by this pic, not entirely based on it, so her hair isn't entirely like that.. but ^_^ oh well.

Having fun with your new thread wenny?

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Kalah: Honey, you know I love you xD Actually I find that ballpens are really good for sketches because they're flexible like pencils but are permanent like pens? They give a more natural line than the actual expensive stuff... And Ryien is THE bomb. Like an ambivalent Ceres... I must do fanart for her soon..

Xhin: *loves you* Oh yes *dotes on topic* *loves B4 with even more passion for approving it* Blonde with pink highlights... yup... a candidate for ditz!

RPG Name: W.O.O.H.P Spy Training School: The Sequel
Description of Picture/Name of Character: Tis Zakary Hawk! *hugs him* My Hyperactive Energizer Bunny on Speed. o.O
Artwork: Zakary Hawk
Reference:W.O.O.H.P Sign up Form
Personal Comments: I think this picture is absolutely adorable! It's actually for a fic I'm writing, so the pic Zakary and Zakary in the RPG are a bit different (Uhh no tail and inu ears for Zaky). I also love it because Zakary Hawk is based off of Jesse. Who was the inspiration for the 'Zak' character in the first place, credit goes to Jesse for drawing up himself in a sense. ^^'' (Jesse is an offline friend). Oh and ignore the bra on his head >.<''

o.o' All good drawers. I must get around to drawing my own characters for once. >> Meh... To lazy.
And Hyper I think you struck 'ditz' right on the head with those colors for hair. No effence to anyone who actually has that hair color of course... >_>'

Description of Picture/Name of Character: Dawn Edwards, aged 6 :3
Artwork: Sketchyness.
Reference: Um... Mostly my sign up... As this hasn't come up in the RPG yet, it's also from my head.
Personal Comments: I so wish i hadn't been careless and saved over the colour version... The colour version is currently stuck on my wall because i cut it out and she looks cute. I'm gonna CG this soon. The new hard drive came for my compy so i'm very very happy X3 Anyway, back to the picture. This is when she was little and met Gavin for the first time after looking after his lost brother, Aaron. I've finally fixed my method of drawing eyes again, so this makes me extremely happy. Yay! More chibi-like things to draw!

Personal Comments: Well, I can see a definate improvement over my drawing abilities. Saké and Sora's are by far my favorite pics thus far. Chamel looks much better than the first attempt (less alien) and a bit more acrobatic. I still enjoy mys stuff... but I miss the RPG T_T

RPG Name: Correct Souls Devine
Name of Character: Denny Roth

Personal Comments: Unfortunatly I haven't done much with him since I drew him over two years ago. Photoshop usually takes me several hours to color a single piece. Although I do love the results of course...

Unfortunatly all my stuff for the Scourge is currently already attatched in the Topic itself, I can't re-attatch them here <-<U

GO GO REVIVAL POST!!

Form
RPG Name: His Majesty's Dragons
Description of Picture/Name of Character: This is my Kazilik dragon. He doesn't have a name yet though.
Artwork: Kazilik
Reference: He's int he RPG... in the sign-up topic... my internet is weird so I don't wanna go fetch it. ^_^;;;
Personal Comments: His horns are not exactly as I want them, so I'll be invisioning those a bit more but I rather do like his facial expression. Letting off some steam, quite literally. ^_^

[Mew Master]

A revival post is nothing unless someone responds to it... so let's see what the Art God can do...

Hmm... The sketch in the top corner is good.. but I always see people draw dragons with disproportionate limbs for some reason. Head looks good, a bit... off though. It looks like he has one hellova overbite with the position of his teeth. Looking at the horns, I like how they seem to be coming through the skin, like they're protrusions of the skull and vertebrae, but then again looking at it makes me wonder about where they fit in/on the skull. They could be attached to the verts, or some funky extensions of the back of the skull. Sorry, biologist in me talking..

My suggestions: Either shorten the upper jaw, or extend the lower jaw to match up with the other. As it stands now, there looks like a bit of clearance between upper and lower jaw when they close. Not very effective for an organism. Now the Horns I do like, however I'm trying to envision the skull of the animal and having a difficult time. Either the horns are attached to the skull, or they're "floaters" in the muscle and skin. The web membrane is interesting, and makes me start asking evolutionary biology questions about it. ^^U

Needs some minor work, but the Art God approves.

[Bulbasaur4]

No offense, but I don't like critical comments on my art unless I ask for some suggestions. ^_^;;; I draw for fun and it was just a sketch. As for the jaw, when you stick your head up as such in teh picture, it is natural for a loose jaw to slacken back a bit, creating the dramatic appearance of a large overbite.

As for the horns, (and as I said) they are not drawn the exact way that I wish them to be. The top ones would be attached more to the spine and the side ones to hard cartilage packed a bit around the dragon's jawline and throat, to protect it. I was just drawing quickly and fo rfun.

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Kalah: AHAHAHAHA Emily's so GAR, I'm extra pleased with myself for giving her those totally unmasculine and unGAR names now.

Okay I think I should make it clear that this isn't exactly an 'art crit' topic per se... it was originally supposed to be a fangirl/fanboy space where we could fangirl/fanboy over any art of characters that turned up in here, or say things like "Oh noes that doesn't look like my character!" and perhaps give crit if the artist asked for it, but after I dressed that up in official language, I suppose it wasn't so clear any more.

*edits first post*

I apologise for all confusion caused. n(_)n

With that said, MM, you write extremely detailed crits.

[Roy Karrde]

Here are two

RPG Name: Divinity er... I think she used this some time in the RPG Forum!
Description of Picture/Name of Character: 7 Tailed Fox/Wolf/thingie, that likes to kill people but is utterly loveable.
Artwork:
Reference: Not really a reference, if anyone has read Divinity or what ever RPG Kalah used this in.
Personal Comments: This was actually a model for the Christmas Tree either last year or the year before. I went back and detailed the head a bit more, overall I am pretty satisified with the model seeing how talented or lack there of I was when I first made it.

RPG Name: Chronicles of the Rift 1/2
Description of Picture/Name of Character: Adalia, one of my all time favorite characters, and yes a Loli. this is a model that took alot of time and effort to make. The joints and mouth are moveable, but just like on Kiiah I havn't had time to texture it. The original drawing in which the model was based comes from the Super Talented Yi.
Artwork:
Personal Comments: This model is uploaded into a different 3D Program than Kiiah, which is why it looks so glossy. The head of the model took off/on again of 9 weeks total. The body I did a while back, and just came back to it and detailed it a bit more before working on the head. Overall I believe this is the most detailed model I have ever done.

[Bulbasaur4]

Yay! glad you like! I drew a better picture of her a while ago... before I knew your character's appearance. xD I'll show it to you later.

Roy, looks good! Your 3D work is getting a lot better. Kiiah is coming around nicely. :3

[Blademaster]

Criticisms are something this topic needs. This isn't deviantArt, where there's enough people contributing to hand out "Good job!"s left and right and still expect an influx of pictures. We have maybe five people here contributing; saying nothing but nicey-nice things about them is going to get tiresome sooner than later.

[classy_cat18]

We can give criticism when asked for it. But since people are putting their stuff here for fun, we should just give them the thumbs up.

That being said, that's a nice start for Adalia. And I really like the dragon.

[Roy Karrde]

Well guys to be fair the rules on the topic say for no critsism unless the person asks for it. But really thats okay its easy to fix that, In a minute another RPG Art Topic will pop up, this one will be for show, meaning you come in to allow people to just look at your latest achievements. The other one will be for critsism where posting a pic is open for critsism.

Criticism or No Criticism (bold which ever)

OMG COMMENTS TIME!

B4 & Kazilik: I like. :3 I particularly like that you can see the tongue... I dunno why, but thats amusing me.

Roy & Digital Art: I already commented on them before on MSN >.< But they're nice.
However, your wolf thing... Looks sort of like a bear crossed with a fox... You need to edit it's head a bit if you want it to look a bit more like a wolf/fox (ears bigger, face... not so... chubby....)

[classy_cat18]

"Dragon! Dragon, not lizard! I don't do that tongue thing!"

...from Mulan, in case anyone's wondering.

[Bulbasaur4]

Aaahhhh!!! Crystal, I LOVE that picture! The expression is really good and I love the underside markings beneath the chin. That probably is my favorite part. ^_^ The way you did the spiney-fin backings is done differently then I'm used to seeing it, and I like it! Go variety!

Critique? o.o the only thing I can find to critique it on is .....
needs more um color? lol Seriously its really good but theres so many lines I cant tell where one begins and the other ends so when its colored that will take care of that prob easy :>

[Mew Master]

XD... it's far from finished. I still have some other stuff to put in... but yes.. it should look a LOT better when colored... but don't hold your breath for it <<U *uber busy this semester)

[Bulbasaur4]

It looks really good! I love the detail work you did on Demon the most- especially the legs and underbelly. I also think you did a good job on Venom, especially with his more elaborate swing-pose there.

The only things I can see, is that if you want the glowing 'eye laser-trail', I recommend getting rid of the wispy ends, but make it a solid streak. Otherwise it most likely will end up looking like fire- action lines also will help give it the trailing effect. His head sort of throws me off a little bit... just because it looks like he's staring up at the sky, rather than at his target (but maybe he's shielding himself), so I think that's just an artist choice. I think when you color it, the problem you're having with venom's head will go away. :3

[Mew Master]

Thanks Bulba4... actually... once I get the Photoshopping started, Demon will have part of the Symbiote suit in his mouth as he's pulling it away from Venom in a Bite-N-Tear manuver. Which explains why it's partially NOT on Venom's head.

Reference: There really isn't a big reference other than ALL the RPGs I've spawned him into.
Personal Comments: This was done on an art blog, and I'm really proud with how the lines came out, as getting smooth lines is difficult. I've always wanted to draw his sexy body in a scandalous pose as well... bwhwahaha...
Bashing: I hate how blotchy red looks like in some programs.
Technical: I used an ART blog!
Bragging: He is sexy?
Criticism or No Criticism: There's nothing really anyone can say that I don't already know with this one.

CRITIQUE!!!!

[Emotional Faun Chiko-sai]

Y'know, since I'm supposed to be posting for HM's Dragons at the moment, why not procrastinate and comment in the Art topic since I never post art stuff in here.


Kalah: AHAHAHA RIBBONS AND THAT KIND OF POSE, you do not want to know what I'm thinking about right now. or maybe I've educated you too well and you do. orz |||

Asi: I'm pretty sure requests could be done in this topic... at the time of writing specifications for this topic I didn't think we would get enough response for this let alone requests. Unless a mod has objections I guess requests can be made in here as well...? Ahahahaha?

MM: On sketch one, her profile looks odd. (the nose is too elongated and in consequence because you were drawing things in proportion to it [I think], the mouth and chin/jawbone are out of proportion too??) everything else is pretty cool.
On the comm sketch, mainly I think the neck/shoulders/torso positioning in relation to the head is slightly off (the neck, or what I think is the neck - it could possibly be a section of her collar is too long, and again because this is off, the torso is off as well)
Otherwise I like her claw-y hands

Personal Comments: I did this picture really quickly, compared to how long it used to take me to do this sort of stuff! I like the unique split look, as I can put text on the other side if I want. :3
