Limely's fanart thread

[Termonaptir]

Ugh, Razorbeard... I beat him on Rayman DS, and DAMN! My thumbs were throbbing! D8 It's kind of difficult to control that rocket on the DS...

[Limely]

Updated me sketchblog, so I thought I might as well post the Rayman-related sketches in it here:




None of them are ze finnished. :0 They most likely won't be, either.

[Termonaptir]

Heh heh... I love the way you did Murfy's expressions. 83 Excellent as usual. Murfy's face in the first picture reminds me of myself when I'm at school.

[Limely]

Lul, did I tell you that I went skiing with school the other day, and my pals and I'd fired up a mini-BBQ and everything, and then this jerkface none of us knew came and shoveled lotsa snow on it so we had to fire it up again. Well, the food was ruined. :< I must've looked like that then.

[Termonaptir]

What an idiot... I'd ambush him, for sure. I guess it would be a necessary time to use a prank or two... xD

[FAB]

I like the way you drew Ly!

[Limely]

Thank you. :3

Anyways, thought I'd flaunt the cert I made for me B/C rp shop on Gaia. I suck at computer-graphics, but whatevurrr... I had fun making it. It's supposed to resemble a plum. x3

Also, I've filled in two (with bullshit, mainly) to get a grasp of what they'll look like... Rayman and Murfy-face.

Heh, i adore Murfy's faces too!

[Termonaptir]

Damnit, Lime! You're making me feel awful for considering myself as a graphics worker! D8 Well, the plum's wonderful. Now, if ya would excuse me... *pouts in corner with a huge thundercloud over her head*

[Limely]

Come on, it ain't that great. xD; I got a new version of it done (not by me, but the awesome Not Zilon over at Gaia). That is awfully hot! : D

[Kelvin12]

D8 That's epic...

[Limely]

I know! It's so awesome! : D I luffle it. She's been so good, she's made a cert that really really fits the theme of the shop, without even knowing the series very well. :3

[Termonaptir]

Ugh... *buries face in hands, while still in the corner, cloud above her head* I envy you all... Damnit, damnit... I really am talentless! I guess I'll just find something in the future. o_0 I'm beginning to wish more and more for a graphics tablet and photoshop. Any kind works for meh! GIMPshop never cooporates with me... *moans furiously* And right at the times when I need it!

[Limely]

C'mon, just keep practising! Keep up writing and keep up drawing, and you will get better. : D

[Termonaptir]

I've been drawing a picture a day. But none are even worth talking about! I'd like to color a certain picture on my computer, but damn GIMPshop keeps getting an error report. And writing...? Been rather difficult for me lately. 7_7

[Limely]

Keep trying. I'm sure you'll pull it trough. I'll just offer some of the practises I do a lot.
Draw small simple items you see on your desk or around you in general. Bottles, cd's, whatever you have lying around (I like drawing my brother's legos from different angles). It's not extremely fun, but it's good practise. Or the good old "not look at the paper while you draw"-practises. I love those. It turns out awful, but that's allright, it's supposed to turn out awful. It helps you loosen up your lines.
And my all time favorite, the drawing practise at Posemaniacs. I do a session of these every day. It's frustrating at first, but I really like how I can see my lines loosen up for every 90 sec sketch I do. And I usually never manage to draw the entire model, but I think that's all right as well. So pull out some paper and those pencils and do that practise right thar. : D
There are other good practises out there as well. If you google a bit, or experiment yourself, I am sure you'll find something you like.

Writing... urr, I don't consider myself a good writer, and I don't really know any good tips for that. Could probably need some good tips myself. xD
I don't really know GIMPshop either, so I can't help out there too, but good luck at solving it. ^^

[Termonaptir]

Thanks. And I'll give the Posemaniacs a try later on! Really appreciate it. This might help... I normally gaze at others' drawings for a long time, until the image just sinks into my head. It's definitely a fine example of a learned behavior.

I used GIMPShop before, and from what I remember, it's buggier than GIMP itself. Used to crash every time I tried to make a stroke [outline] on something. GIMP's nice for cel-shading stuff but for CGing and that I just went back to Photoshop 7.

[Limely]

*barfs sketches like whoa*

I just updated my sketchblog again. Rayman related sketches:

This is fucking fugly, but that's alright.


Every teen needs a fan-character. BD I don't think you remember Charlie, but here she is again. Design altered, but I'm still not happy.

[El Dango]

Eew, at the first one!
