SwordSkill's Stuff

Postby SwordSkill » Tue Feb 10, 2004 3:43 am

this is the latest piece i've done...did it last year. haven't picked up the pencil for quite a while :lol:. anyway, it's my anime rendition of jrocker Shiina Ringo. I saw her on the cover of an August issue of Time magazine and I thought I could use her as a subject. Digital ink and color, ps7. comments would be welcomed and fully appreciated. thanks!

...and yes, the hand IS horrible. XD XD

I have no idea who this Shiina Ringo person is, but it looks good and pretty well detailed. I give it 8 stars. ^_^

:lol: That person probably meant, "I can't hurt anyone with that type of weapon!" Personally, I'll like to know how that weapon works.

Looks like a pencil job, do you ink? ^^ I think the face and body proportions are good. Nice folds and layers on the clothing...If you want to improve in clothings, check out Nobuhiro Watsuki-sama's Rurouni Kenshin. Great job!

Like an Axe is my guess, or a Swiss poleaxe...spear/axe.


Pretty cool drawing!

the person who said i overdid the weaponry said that he wasn't sure what the guy was going to do with the katana...probably shave off his opponent's moustache, he said. XD

anyway, i based the larger weapon from an ancient Chinese pole arm...i'm not sure what it's called in English, but yes, its use is similar to the generic French pole axe...only i embellished it a bit more by adding another blade to the original Chinese weapon. ^^;;

yup, i do ink by hand, but i scan them very rarely since i end up being very unsatisfied of them. XD still have to learn to control my texturing. and yeah, nobuhiro watsuki's style has been my model for a long time, but i'm trying to move away now and develop my own style. ^^

thanks for the comments, guys! (the people here are so supportive...i like XD)

Thanks, Aka-chan, elfinjedi. ^^

Scanned some new sketches...

The first one's a male angel. I decided to do away with the stereotypical halo and wings and instead tried to make him as angelic as possible by his posture, build, and facial expression only. If I stop feeling so lazy, I'd probably ink and color him on Photoshop, but as of now, he's keeping to being pencil work only. :sweat:

The second one's a quick sketch of an ogre of some sort, I'm still not quite sure. Anyway, I tried to make him look frightening but he just ended up looking like a big idiot with a mis-aligned jaw that's missing a mouth. :shady:

Whoa, it's about time I checked out your stuff. ^_^ Great work, Swordskill! I've noticed you're a really talented young lady. I'd like to see more of your artwork. Don't you write also?

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Thanks, noir_chloe. ^^ Glad you like my stuff. Yeah, I write too...a lot more than I draw, actually, lol.

New stuff...
I hate the way the legs turned out (my hands shake when I ink, ergo the "rocky" legs), but otherwise I really like the way it turned out. Makes it look like a cover of a manga. Original, used PSP7 in coloring and manipulating. It's called (obviously) Urban Amazon, and I think it pretty much explains itself. ^^

SwordSkill your work is AWESOME, really amazing job on the colouring!!!!

I asked Jesus how much he loved me and he said this much...and he stretched out his hands and died for me.
