Description The winter season is coming close and so are Thanksgiving and Christmas and soon, New Year.
Time like this most likely not in the mood for anything advanturous but rather calm and peaceful.

Here is Nightmare, Siena, Sierra and Drive. Spending time together like family.
Probably will have more pictures like these.

The brown hair character in the middle? That would be Nightmare.

Do you ink your stuff by hand or do you do eevrything on the computer? I like how clean your lines always are. I need to work on improving my own linearts so I've just been asking around..

AzureRat In reply to DeathInTheReaper [2006-11-21 03:23:11 +0000 UTC]

Nope I did everything on computer, occassionally I use scanner to scan some pictures I drew on papers.
You can get clean lines when you scan the pictures too! Just need to clean up the pictures more precise when you scanned them.

I really like scenes like this.. it's just that it's quite challenging.... the proportions~. D:
Certain characters always become bigger than the other.

.. anyways!

I admire your hair shading very much.. and the emotions are expressed very well~. I always think about complicated BGs..but sometimes complicated BGs kill the foreground.

Good job~.

AzureRat In reply to n3ko [2006-11-21 03:31:43 +0000 UTC]

I'm not all serious in a lot of pictures, I found it's more enjoyable to have characters do something different than usual. Maybe I should probably thinking that way more to have something more interesting.
Though I wanted to have the CG skills as those professional artists, I found the style I color has more characteristics of myself so I decided to keep it and improve towards that area instead of professional CG.

n3ko In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-25 02:43:56 +0000 UTC]

I perfectly understand that. I never want to get too serious, because then you get too serious and then just abandon the project. I draw what I like, I like what I draw. I mean, practice is a good thing, but I"m trying to get better at wanting to draw again.
Yeah, it's good to use professional merely as a guideline, but create your own style. I found that to be much more satisfying.

Wehe, Drive looks so cute sitting on Nightmare with his visor on!!! >w< Nightmare and Drive together makes them look like siblings :3 Nightmare looks cool without his visor.. xD Siena makes the picture funny with her cheering :3

I love Nightmare's "why am I doing here?" expression XD;;

AzureRat In reply to kuro-neko [2006-11-21 03:40:31 +0000 UTC]

Drive seems a little bit smaller? Would you wanna wear the visor or me sweater? x3
I think it's good sometimes Nightmare looks better without the visor. Since it's his trademark I can't really take that off him too often.

"Why am I doing this?"

kuro-neko In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-21 20:17:36 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Drive does seem a little bit smaller. o.o ...How about both the visor and the sweater? xD;;
I say it's unhealthy for Nightmare to wear a visor all the time XD

"Why am I here?" *rolls* xD

AzureRat In reply to kuro-neko [2006-11-21 23:48:56 +0000 UTC]

Yesh I'll give you both visor and sweater. :3
The visor works like sunglasses most of the time or it could be some type of calculator like those in DBZ! x3

Wow, you've been quiet of late Nez...

Still, it goes to prove you're not geting rusty here

It's great to see a few more relaxed ones, but I wouldn't mind seeing a more poster-style of the same theme. Relaxation, sure, but give us something to post up on the wall here! (I now have access to a bloomin' great A1 Oversize Epson printer, so when I say poster size, I mean poster size!)

Give us more poses, give us the sense of real warriors taking a break, because funa and games are nothing if they aren't put into context with the world they're taking a breather from, hmm?

Still, I do love shots like this, you've made them all so human...

AzureRat In reply to Thaylien [2006-11-21 03:52:08 +0000 UTC]

I think I've been doing a lot of poster-scenes so I thought a change of taste would be nice.
I do have the larger copy of the actual pictures to make prints whenever I have the time. They don't come cheap these days.
There are many who are in favor of spicy taste of drawings, like nudity or violence and such, they're appealing yes but I don't want to be following the flavor of society. It's more fun to just draw anything we want to. Pretty much like expressing your opinions in forums.

Thaylien In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-21 20:43:02 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely, and I should probably do that at some point... express my opinions in the forums I mean. But yeah, my own efforts shall not be stopped until my own art expresses, as fully as yours does, the things I feel when I draw.

AzureRat In reply to Thaylien [2006-11-21 23:50:54 +0000 UTC]

Actually it's very often the picture we have in our heads turned out much different when its drawn.

I'm afraid of white space, though we're encouraged to use it.
White space makes me want to glare at it and my mind will go blank like the white Christmas.

I look at people's work but I don't really comment as much because people dislike simple comments. Don't wanna be like one-word-commenter.

laudanumvisions In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-22 05:46:38 +0000 UTC]

LOL I don't really care. I like comments, mostly because I like people and being able to talk to people, even if it's a simple "Thank you" makes my day. *shrugs* But that's just me XD I'm starting to get annoyed with the people who favourite everything and never comment 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AzureRat In reply to laudanumvisions [2006-11-22 06:46:20 +0000 UTC]

I think favoriting is a simple way to say "I like the work". I think seeing comments are always good too.

laudanumvisions In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-22 07:22:33 +0000 UTC]

The website was mostly my doing.....before it died a horrible, horrible death. I've been pondering making a personal website for awhile, but I just don't think I have the time and money for it...*shrugs*

AzureRat In reply to laudanumvisions [2006-11-22 07:28:28 +0000 UTC]

Personal website? That'd be sweet, though it'll cost some money.
I'm thinking doing a flash site but I don't know when I'll start on that since I usually do that whenever I feel motivated.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

laudanumvisions In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-22 10:32:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's my problem too. The motivation thing has a tendency to elude me quite often, so I dunno how often I'd actually update a personal website, which is why I'm hesitant to dump money into XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AzureRat In reply to laudanumvisions [2006-11-22 16:16:13 +0000 UTC]

The website doesn't really charge much on the space but overtime may not be good if you lost the motivation to keep the site going and still paying for the space.

laudanumvisions In reply to AzureRat [2006-11-23 02:32:59 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's why I'm really debating with myself over it. I suppose it'll all depend on when I actually have the spare money to spend and if my life goes in the direction I want it to.

Been awhile sence we've seen drive huh?...Or for that matter a good chunk of the group! XD

But it good to see them all just relaxing and havin fun ( or MOST of them anyway XD I swear one of these days Nightmare's going to open up...I just wonder when... ). To be with people you care about always brings a nice, calm mood to any event. =3

But meh, glad to see some life in you Nezumi! =3

Ahh yes...winter is defently on its way isn't it?....Due to me now living in Arizona I kinda forgot about that >_<;;;

As for a critce...no need for one today, This is preety much what you've been doing for awhile now with little to no issues ( if there are a few im not catching them at this instant ^_^;; ).

Well As always I'll be around! ( oh yes...I noticing that you manga projects not comming out any time his year i've desided to still keep my word and aid you in a way...Have fun being a paid member for 3 months )

AzureRat In reply to lipucd [2006-11-20 09:46:19 +0000 UTC]

There's only one other picture when I drew Drive in that actual form so it's not surprised a lot of people don't know him.

Nightmare has opened up towards others so you could say he has grown more friendly to others, especially Siena and Sierra.

Though winter is coming, in CA there's not much of indication besides the cooler weather.
And thank you very much for the subscription, it's been a very long time since I had it.
