Description 1 47 am.... really really really tired lol.
finally finished the pic. the background is crap and i am not too happy with the pic as some of you may know. i wanted to make the shading a bit soft, but it didnt work out. so i went with the ol' cell shade.

i am not sure if it is full size if you full view it, so i think it is best to download. i usually like smaller sizes, but in this pictures case you can see it best when it is large.

this is my first time outlineing in photoshop, and if there is any problem with the picture dont hesitate to tell me (like a missing pixel or something), it is kinda late and i am tired and i cannot really see the pic properly.

didnt know what to do as a background so i did simple hearts, they look bad cause i am super tired lol.

at first i was proud with this pic, but there was so much that needed to be changed. like the girls were way too skinny, well robin any ways, and anatomy needed to be imrpoved.

anyways the idea came from how fanboys have so much power over the characters they are recreating, so i decided to switch their clothing from the enies lobby saga. of course nami is smaller and her clothing will be small and tight, and robin is larger and her clothing will be really loose.

i have always loved robin more than nami, but in this pic i ended up liking how i did nami more. i also think that everything was over done, including the blush. anatomy isnt where i wanted it to be on account of me having to redraw it on ps. i will be submitting a sketch soon, and you guys can compare both pics and see how much i have actually changed.

p.s. if there are any spelling mistakes please excuse me.

Cute work. I realised you have a dislike of the anatomy but I like its stylised look actually. Cell shading is the easiest I remember when I used to colour like that simply cos I didnt have a clue and Im still learning to colour well while being lazy with the amount of time spend doing it. I bearly ever doo backrounds. A lot of my work Ive addapted for speed colouring, Im curious in hours how much time you spent on the picture.

yes i wanted my pics to stand out more by using horrible anatomy lol.
but with this one it pissed me off, cause i like making the females more realistic, i took that characteristic from a famous french comic called blacksad. and with my other picture, rouge i did alot better.
yes i suck at ps, i was going to color it like i colored rouge, but i didnt like it enough and just wanted it out of my way.
and on this picture i dont really know how many hours... i probably spend more hours than i am supposed to... this one was probably around 10 hours. maybe less or more. most of the time i am distracted by other things and it slows down my work and some times i experiment or fix things up. i practically redrew robin (you can see the sketch in my scraps). and if the experiments dont work i keep on redoing it until i get what i want.
the background too like 10 min though, i was too lazy to take my time and just wanted it to be over lol

JoshuaDA In reply to vasodeagua [2008-08-22 02:03:58 +0000 UTC]

yes yes and yes.
i noticed how bad the anatomy was when i was outlining it.
i am working on a new pic right now with (hopefully) better anatomy.
the lights her were screwed cause i didnt know what my background was going to be so i did anything lol.

JoshuaDA In reply to vasodeagua [2008-08-22 05:02:27 +0000 UTC]

hahaha, it used to be oposite for me in my case.
but with my new style for males i wanted to personify my females too, so i made them with unique faces and long necks and thin bodies. didnt workout. so i am going for a more realistic anatomy for them. well with my new pic.

JoshuaDA In reply to vasodeagua [2008-08-23 00:52:57 +0000 UTC]

yes, i took my female style from euro comics, and my male style is more influenced by american art. they both ahve a little anime in it. one of my fav artists is cheeks, i love his dynamic poses. my next pic after rouge will hopefully have some more dynamic views to it

JoshuaDA In reply to CheckeredHappiness [2008-08-21 17:56:17 +0000 UTC]

aww thanks alot
but yeah photoshop is tough, i am going to try adapting a coloring style like my bro.
he colors very well.
i just do cell shading which is the easiest, and you get a pretty cool outcome most of the time.
and thanks for the thought

CheckeredHappiness In reply to JoshuaDA [2008-08-22 04:07:01 +0000 UTC]

Yup. I tried Photoshop, I'm really bad at it, But i guess I might get the hang of it. I like Cell shading, the outcome is fun. xD
