Description
I drew Roberto from the Capcom game "Rivalschools" for Because ruphia was my 100,000 page viewer.I'm still practicing my drawing skills, a bit more now even, but I still just don't like what I'm creating with my pencil skills. Hope to get some real art classes after college.
In anycase this one's for you ruphia!

Dammit, Dan, that's awesome. The only penciling problem I might point out would be that his back foot looks suspiciously placed.
But other than that, this is oustanding.

Hey! It's me... formerly
Anyway... about this piece....
I RUB YOU!!! 
Roberto is one of my favorite characters in Project Justice (personality wise, design wise)... 
Anyway.... that's it.. i luv this...
U know what that clearly means?...
Oh... PS... How did you do the grass? It makes me happy 
And before i go..
And you're taking in requests!? 
Anyway... here's a reference site for ya... [link] [link for Haku] ...
Oh well... Sorry for that... :rollseye:

Yeah sure, I need much practice, These drawing requests are very motivating for me. :]
as for the grass, just go to your brush palette in photoshop, there should be a grass brush. Use the brush option to edit the brush to your liking.
I'll have a tutorial on this very thing, so if you don't mind the wait it'll be up with the website in the summer. Along with a whole bunch of other stuff that I'm not posting.

WHAT!!!!!???? So you're going to do my requests? 
Anyway... i'll look forward for your site Dan-sama!

I think you're worrying too much about your pencils... I've seen how your work progressed since we were on ComixMatrix, and you're involved with some great people on a regular basis, so you're on the right track. It's just a matter of time and practice, man, and you're doing really well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I'm worried about, If I'm doing colors, I'll have no time to practice. College is allmost over, I'll get about a day of free time, and then it's back to work again.
It's nice that people like my work enough to disagree with me about it needing improvement, but the truth is that the problems are there, and I keep messing things up on them.
Your right it's about practice, but I'll be damned, I just don't practice as often as I should. It's driving me nuts though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel your pain, BELIEVE me.
Just replace "colouring work" with "animation work", and remove the day of free time.
And it's not as easy as "making time", as some people like to tell you. "Well, if it's important enough, you'll make time."
Like hell, motherfucker. Sometimes there is just not enough hours in the day to handle responsibilities and find the time and energy to improve your skills as well... What are you supposed to do, starve for your art? That's very poetic, and very stupid. If we don't work, we don't network, and if we're not networking in this business, then eventually we're not working at all.
My only advice would be to see if you can push Mark or someone to give you a little pin-up or maybe some short story work... make work and practice the same thing. But believe me, I know it's not that easy.
Battle on, brother!
And maybe move his head so that he's looking down across his chest, under the raised arm.

I do think you've come leaps and bounds from where you were when we met 3 years ago, though... so there may be some solace in the thought of where you might be 3 years from now, no?

thats one orange soccerplayer,
dont know but dont soccerplayers usualy lend forwards when they are gonna kick the ball? otherwise they would loose there ballance and fall on their ass if you know what i mean
hey! im you 101,331 pageviewer! do i earn a pic too? lol
greets Soulrailer

no
well actually yeah sure, ask me to draw you something, I need the practice, and maybe this might be a good way to force myself to draw something.
So shoot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Actually, I thought it over again... No
j/k I'll see about the cowboy thing. Never in my life did I draw a western thing... Might make for good practice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
euh....didnt expect youd say this, well euh...
you can draw...euh
(hmm i can do this better)
ok well as you say "So shoot"
how about a western pic, some special cowboy shooting indians or other cowboys or something? (but it has to be an action pic, no mexican cowboy taking a nap!!!)
or another idea that was floating in the void i call my mind is to draw your 3 favorite able-to-fly characters in a pic (gonna suggest this in a draw off over at pencil jack but i doubt it will be some day soon... so take a shot if you want
got me kinda surprised there mate,
but now i hold you to your word!!! cowboys or fly guys you can choose and if you dont i will hunt you down and hit you with a giant pencil (cause thats what you fear so much
greets, Soulrailer

whats with the arm blocking his face...lazy

Art classes.... in school? They have that?
Wish I could, but guess what? My crappy college cancelled the illustrative track. That was a nice swift kick in the nuts for me. Being that that was my real reason for attending college.
and yeah you got me, I was lazy :rolleyes: but I'm actually going to go back to this redraw the head and replace it over that one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Man that totaly sucks, how the hell can they can all the art classes?
well when its done I'll be shure to check it out then.... and maybe do one of the gym teacher dude with the kendo stick i always liked his design

aside from putting a lensflare on something and calling it art?

I was joking....simply because I know that Dan doesn't use them. It was all good natured...chill out bro
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Lens flare filters were not used in the making of this image.
I created that by hand. It's not really special.

was wondering how to comment on this as i loved it so much and had spent about half an hour drooling over the detail and the lines.. and i decided id scroll down and read some of the comments youd already been given, to spark ideas on what i could say.
well this ~cheeks-74 character has it right, bro.
and i quote:
Dan- this looks amazing...aside from your mad skills as an artist colorist, your pencils are tight as well. the energy is there, however I would have loved to have seen the player's head looking down over his right shoulder to show more focus and determination as if he were about to kick the shizzle out of that ball. all in all solid man solid!
leme try add to that.
having played soccer a fair bit in my life id have to say i like the angle of his head actually. i think you caught the moment brilliantly. the swing.. the momentum. the entire swoop of the body. you can just see that foot wacking the ball halfway across the field with that kick, and the ball itself is beautifully blurred.
and as always. your coloring skills (degrades to a l337 noob) pwn 3v3rything

Thanks man, I did get some comments about people thinking that the arms should be in the opposite postion, but I didn't think that that's how people look before kicking the ball. Because when he kicks that ball the arms are going change positions to give more momentum. Having it the other way would give no momentum.
I will change the head like he said to see how that looks. I'm curious as to how it would look.
But as for the arms, I like the way that they are positioned.
And since you seem to know more about soccer then most who have critiqued about the arms, I would believe you more on that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks on having faith in my suggestion on the arms 
cant wait to see the version with the head looking the other way
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The coloring is undoubtedly good and so is the pencilling work. You really have killer skills.

i do like the pose , it's rather cool
i luved that game too in it's time

Yeah I cant stand what your creating with your pencils either.... (I can't find the appropriate emoticon to emphisise the sarcasm of what I just said) If I could not be happy when my pics turned out this good... then I would be happy.... that didn't make any sense, feh what cha gunna do.
