Description WTF categories?

sorry for the size I didn't want to shrink too much it after I drew that virus pic.

Yae I diddit *facedesk*
finally a really le crappe ref for Virus.
I was going to make this really long but considering he's quite a mysterious fellow who doesn't show much emotion, is mute and can't remember his past.... it kinda rules out a lot :{

plus I don't really have time to do all that and knowing me it would end up lost somewhere, covered in dust and rotting in my folders coz I lost interest in it.
(this is the 5th ref I've attempted for the poor fellow) D:

I'm prone to change some things, I already have as you can see here.
like his markings. all of that was made up on tha spot
but I did want some sort of unusual blue marks on him somewhere...
and I'm definitely getting rid of those cogs thar DX they're hideous. I think I'll change them back to shiny orbs.
I phail joints TT_TT

Tried making this look like some sort of report but... as you can see I got bored with that
and don't be too picky about his markings XD they're only a rough guide (tan feet ftw)

have fun ^^ ~<333

comments greatly appreciated

I love virus! But now that you've made a ref i've had so much trouble trying to adapt it to a humanoid.

I like how you contrast him with nature...and his butterfly motif
But wow it's an amazing ref...all the detail in his fur markings and the robot parts. And that's an amazing eye! it reminds me of jubilations' art

ROFL space filler...

Holy craaaaaa
HOLY CRAAAAAAAAAA

I've been meaning to comment for a while BUT I'M LAZY, FORGIVE ME. D8

Onto subject:
What an absolutely gorgeous reference sheet! The attention you've given it really shows! 8OOO

The main picture stuck me, it's so gorgeous. ¦D
His markings are amazing! I love a great deal of mixed and complicated markings, they're a lot of fun to draw. >3

And the text, the sort of formal, robotic tense YES.

This is most certainly a sheet that will prove to be of tremendous use!

lol don't worry XD you're not the only one like that around here *pokesancientmessagesanddeviationsinmessagebankthatarestillthereinthehopesofmereplyingtothem*



your ref sheets are much better though :'D
I gave up trying to put some more info on this after staring at it for too long, trying to figure out what else to put there. So I just doodled instead XD

~<33333
I was playing with the saturation and when I turned it up he was very colourful, jess XD
I wanted to keep his markings semi-realistic but still interesting and unique :3

heheh ^^ I dunno, I used a lot of big words to make up for the lack of the rest of the ref



lolol I want that lizard o3o
it shall be my space filler from now on XD

Aha..heh... thankyou XD That gives me some more motivation to keep up with another.
Oh Zach, you are proving to be a rather tricky character to tackle.

LOL
Doodles are indeed good!

You've achieved that VERY well!
I did say to myself that they seem sort of natural, yet unique. Perfecto!


YES
I look forward to seeing that little lizard again. Does the little lizard have a name? 8D

awesome sauce on a funny pie
^^ it's just, the cogs don't go with him. they're just sitting there, also, the rest of him looks more futuristic whereas the cogs are a more older thing ^~^;

that's amazing, you really do have a way with fur

how'd you do that?

thank you
It's pretty much become a part of my art style. He was going to be flat colour but... he looked too flat XD.

I draw each and every hair in using my graphics tablet, I get a relaxed, stroking motion with my hand so the fur doesn't look so stiff and I try to keep in mind the fur direction too.
I also use photoshop, I don't know if that helps?

Mikromancer In reply to Kurai0okami [2009-03-29 09:41:02 +0000 UTC]



i had a similar effect going with just a airbrush with a fadeout value of 75-150 pixels, but i cant beat a tablet.

which means it's all in the wrist xD

and I gotta get me one of those tablets!
