I come bearing gifts!

[Acarr]

Nice ^^ I forget she's limbless 0_o

[spiraldoor]

We have Zay-el to blame for that.

[Xenon]

Have you made any more drawings recently, Stacey? I'd love to see more.

[Cairnie]

Not many Rayman related ones as of late. I started noticing some problems with my scanner which I think is on the verge of crapping out after the 6 years I had it. This will probably be one of the last hand drawn things I've drawn for a while.

I still have my tablet though.

[Xenon]

It needs colour, but it's very very good. The expressions you manage give on the characters' faces are exceptional. ;D

[MLII]

Are Rayman charecters meant to be that adorable? Aww.

[Cairnie]

*bringing everything here*
Bumping is basically posting in a topic that has been left alone for a really long time. Most forums don't like it.

Aaanyway. Well, I've been drawing for a really long time, perhaps my oldest ones were done when I was like, 13. Here's some advice I can give you:

* It's OK to look at a picture and try to copy it to practice, but avoid tracing it- you know, putting a piece of paper over it and drawing line to line - unless it's your own drawing.
* If you start posting your drawings on the internet, try to be as original as you can - by that, I mean try drawing Rayman etc in a way you imagine it, rather than just something out of an official picture.
* try not to draw on lined or squared paper. The lines aren't easy to get rid of.
* don't hold your pencil too tight. x:

And finally, what gets you better is to keep a keen interest in drawing for years to come.

Good job I still have my camera. Because I'll probably have to post hand-painted pics like this for the time being

[El Dango]

Does Baby Rayman have arms, or is it just his clothes?

[CheatCat]

Rayman have arms as baby, but he lost them by an... accident!

Nice work anyway, StaceyW, I like your drawings!

[Xenon]

Pretty good work again Stacey, although I'll have to admit Rayman does look a little... peculiar.

[Cairnie]

About the "arms", well I thought it looked better for the baby gro to have sleeves yet still have floaty feet. I've had trouble drawing floaty hands cuddling a teddy though, in fact I've always had trouble drawing folded arms in general.

I also have a little theory that Rayman probably always liked having his hair up even as a 6 month old.

Thank you all the same

[Reese Riverson]

Since I've been in such a Rayman spin as of late, I've started doing Rayman fanart again. Pics are hosted with my Livejournal gallery thing.

They are all very cute! Great job.

I have to say the last two are my favorite out of the four.

[Cairnie]

Got a new pic that I'm half and half proud of.



Full pic

[El Dango]

Cool. Is there a story behind it?

[Acarr]

Awesome I love the black outline ^^

The link doesn't work btw.

[El Dango]

Works for me.

[Xenon]

Well done Stacey, another great piece of artwork. I could never master water, or running water at all (for the teardrop).
And I never noticed the artwork in the above quote - it's fantastic too.

[Cairnie]

Should do, LJ's gallery has been awfully glitchy as of late, so try it again.

Years ago I used to right fanfiction that was just awful and made Twilight look like The Shining; and this pic is reminiscent to that.

[Acarr]

That pic of Tily, did you do that in MS Paint? 0_o
