THEdragon's fanart topic

Post by THEdragon »

It's a topic where I post my Rayman fanart, as you probably expected. Anyways, there isn't much yet, but I'm planning on drawing more. Most likely that hippie musician next. :D

This one is called 'SUDDENLY! Education'.

Image
It's basically just what went through my head as I watched gameplay videos of Rayman Junior. Numbers and letters, everywhere! And I honestly didn't mean for the Magician's smile to be so creepy... but I guess the creepyness almost matches the creepyness of his pre-recorded message hats. I feel like I could have done the Magician's pose a bit better and fixed up Rayman's deformed right hand, but.... I didn't because I am a lazy derp :U And the Magician should be shorter than Rayman... or maybe not, sometimes he is sometimes he isn't.

I don't really even remember what I did here, it's kinda like I shaded the foreground all nicely then pasted it over a blurred background with a wierd shadow that makes it look like paper dangling in front of it. Hehehe. And don't even ask about what happened with the light source, because I don't even know. But while I was drawing I was listening to some Mika songs and some Bernard Fanning and a little bit of Pete Murray so it felt good in the end. And I like how these characters are pretty easy to draw even though they end up looking derpy when I draw them anyway. :U

Anyways, there will be more art in my thread in the future so keep your eyes peeled!
But.... Don't actually peel your eyes or anything like that.

Thank you Danone :D

I've actually decided to draw Rayman and Tarayzan next instead of the musician. But he's still on the waiting list. :fou:

Wow that Magician is dead creepy. Kinda fits his character now we know who he really is.
Anyway, quite a nice pic! I like the background effect and the overall play with poses. It's not a generic set of side-on-side characters, if you know what I mean. One of them's really side-on, while the other is 3/4. Also, you got the placing of the thumbs on the hands right - it seems strange I would mention this, but it is something a lot of people still do wrong sometimes; the shape of the thumb is also quite accurate. I like the shading and colouring is chosen well too.
Overall, a 7/10 from me. ;)

I agree with this here. A lot of people tend to draw the thumb curving in the same direction as the fingers with the same acute transition, whereas, like it is here and is supposed to be, there's a large curved intermission and the thumb curves in the opposite direction.

A couple proportional things need work, but that's all just with practice. You're very much on the right track.

Why thank you very much! :D That was certainly interesting to read, as I've always thought of hands as being one of my weak points in art! XD

Oh and you know how I said I'd draw Tarayzan next? I changed my mind and drew the hippie couple first.

Aw I really love tha Magician ^^ He's so very cute in your picture. By the way about hands, you draw them better than i do. XD Hands are the hardest to draw, ever.

Thanks :D I think I find it easier to draw the simple three-fingered hands of Rayman characters. XD

Annnnnnd here's an OC named Sideways.

Okay, that artwork of Rayman and Tarayzan... I'm kinda stuck with the background, that's why I haven't made much progress with it. Don't worry, hopefully it won't be an abomination like Sideways.

What are you talking about? He looks pretty cool! I love the braided hair - you can actually see it's braided even though it's so blocky. The nice thing about this drawing is the detail, while having the blockyness as well. Maybe the proportions and shape of the hands are a bit off, but for the rest I'd call it a success.

Thanks Shrooblord! :D

Are we allowed to ghost-bump? I had stuff to add here but no-one had posted inhere since my last post two weeks ago, so I deleted the post and re=posted it with edits. Anyways, here's another picture of Sideways.

I think I muddles his hand a bit again...

And OMG I FINALLY got that Tarayzan pic done! Well actually, I redid the whole thing because I got a new graphics tablet and the first try looked stupid.

They're all great, but the one with the two Magicians is my favourite - kind of explains what Ubi failed to explain... at the cost of some kiddy-friendliness. Plus, I thought it was quite well-drawn.
