Quote by GaiJiNThank you for the fav on my drawing, glad you liked it!

No problem, it was quite excellent!

Quote by GaiJiNHey great to hear from you! Yeah finally finished it, lol I'm a bit ashamed when I see the 2006 new year card down there, took me long enough. Thanks for taking a closer look too!
So how're you doing? Still drawing I hope >xD

Hehe I wouldn't mind waiting that long if the result is as great as your newest one
Oh I'd be crazy not to take a closer look on that...
Anyhoo, yeah I'm quite alright... holiday is near lol
Haven't been drawing much... well, I did draw a lot, just not the usual leisure drawings done for myself anymore
I miss spending the whole day drawing whatever I feel like xD

Anyway have a great day, I'll see you around soon ^^

Many people already see through your humbleness with your wallpaper. =)

Quote by makiyashaWOW PERFECTION b^^d

how did u do the lines and how did u like shade it in ? plz tell meh thks^^

Thank you! About the lines it's not like I get everything like I want directly, I erase a lot. I usually pay attention to the position of my wrist and do curves in one stroke, just have to try again until it's right . For the shading I keep in mind light sources, and dont forget global shading while doing details. Usually I smudge with my fingers, but also used a lot of cross hatching on this piece (though it doesnt show much). With this kind of shading the lineart must have a clean finished look, so it takes a lot of time and practice ^^

kool u must be like a pro or something ^^ for me everytime i rubb something out it tends to do more damage >_______>;;; and i suck at shading *still a newbie* oh and is that in pencil or did u fineline it?

Wow, your works are incredible O.O"
Would you be interested in joining ?

Quote by GaiJiNFrom the thumb I thought it was a boing wall . Quality work on this one, must have taken quite some time.
Could use a bit more depth in colours, the different lighting makes the characters stick out. Then again they're not supposed to melt in the bg xD .
Lovely composition!

hahaha boing would vehemently deny that wall as his xD since he murdered it with his crit in AP D: *shakes fist* anyway yeah you are right about all that u said haha...depth is kinda a weakness and perspective too ><! but i try thanks for the comment! keep doing what you do btw i love looking at your works

Quote by GaiJiNHaha that looks just... freaking cool. Colours work fine like they are imo, but then again keep experimenting. Pink could be nice too, but I would have to see it to decide . Anyway great style as always. Perhaps you should tray playing around with the thickness of your lineart (weight of line), could improve your dynamic even more.

Thanks for your feedback. I thought of using different thickness of the lines but then I skipped that because that can easily look strange. But I will try that sometimes in the future.

Quote by GaiJiNYeah I really like the gloomy atmosphere but I feel you could have played a bit with colours and light. Like keeping the desaturated look but playing a bit more on dramatic contrast or something. Anyway concept is awesome, and your work on the background too. You're getting quite used to both cellshading and this kind of painting ^^.

I prefer cellshading now because the other way of painting takes so much time and patience. But I am glad you liked the gloomy atmosphere and the background.

Quote by GaiJiNSmooth and soft, really gives out a nice feeling ^^. Nice work as always!

PS: I'm still following your works on DA so keep it up!

omg +_+ i havent been here for so long x_X i guess, i'm totally on DA now, yea ) somehow that place more.. erm... creative than MT ^^;
well i'm glad you're following my new works
it would be great if i can write you on DA .. i dont remember if i asked you.. .o_O have you an account there ?

Quote by GaiJiNLovely pencilwork, shows the fun you had and how dedicated you were while drawing ^^. Keep it up!

Hey there GaiJiN. Thank you so much for your comment and fav on my lastest artwork. My pencil works could never be as lovely as yours. Also thankful for encouraging me to keep it up. I'll try and hope I can pull something like that again. Hope you take care and share more works on MT in the future. See ya later GaiJiN.

Quote by GaiJiNHey nice to see some new work! Love how the perspective adds motion to the picture
Buildings, colours and even chara design remind me of Germany xD
Keep it up!

Thank you very much for your feedback. A comment by you is something special because you seem to be rarely on MT, right?
Okay, the buildings are indeed German but what makes the characters look German? Haha.

btw: When will you finish your crazy artwork with that insane amount of details?

gaijin san! anno. about the saikano sketch you made. can you make one too with a clearer view of the gun please? i was planning to use your sketch from which i shall base my costume. thanks dear gaijin ^___^

Hey hey Gaijin

Merry Christmas to ya and a happy new yr. X)

hope to see that master piece that u been working on for so long get posted soon.. ROFLx... and of course more of your great works on 07. ^^

nyaa~~
hi my dear friend ^__^
wow so many favs from you! =^____^= thaaankies!

Quote by GaiJiNPain, shattered illusions and so on, the smooth and soft coloring portray a lot of feelings in a beautiful way.
It reminds me slightly of shirotsuki's style.
Anyway, love it

yep i know this artist =) *aha, Mi browses DA sometimes ^^* hmm... damn maybe i shouldn't watch those gallery in search of inspiration >__> it definitely influenced on my work x_X actually it happens very often with me.. i mean my artworks turn out just like some artist's works -__- perhaps i watch too much different galleries and it would be better to catch the inspiration without doing that ) or maybe i didn't find my own style yet. yeah... that's it. ) i hope some day i finally draw something ... really in my style. i hope i'll find it..

thankies for commenting my works ) i'll submit 1-2 new pics soon ) don't miss ^__~

take care ) see you ^^

Quote by GaiJiNAwesome self-portrait ! Gives away a really positive feeling Really like the clothes and colours too.
And to answer what you said me about inspiration, of course it shows, like here the coloring is quite HTK style to me (like on some of your other works). But still, I think you definitely have your own style, your lineart and work on expression is really personal. If you ask me your art has more or less this european/russian touch, and I think I can recognize your art quite easily.
The influence of other artists in your work show what you like, and on original pieces like this, the mix creates your own style, it's not like the "great artists" draw without any exterior inspiration themselves anyway
Well I cant decide when you really have achieved your own style, but your pretty close to it imo ^^
blablabla i talk to much, you're pretty on this xD

whaaa... finally someone commented this -__- you the only who did it X_X thank you... i guess it's not the best my work >__>
hehe ) 'bout HTK ) may be you have such feeling because of the way i colored legs? )) Hyung Tae Kim is one of my favorite artists. i like how he plays with contrasts and reflexes. it's really fantastic *__* i wish i could have just a part of his CG skills) but i didn't think to make this my pic looking in his style. really ))
something always makes me do experiments in my artworks, so i cant say i'll completely achieve my own style some day )) perhaps i'm wrong but that is feeling i have at present time .)

thanks a lot again for your comment and fav )

ps i'm very sorry for the mistakes ^__^; my english wasn't good at all but now it's absolutely forgotten )))))

merged: 12-04-2006 ~ 04:29am
hhheehee.. i've created an account on DA )) but there's no my pics yet )) i hope i'll understand the navigation there soon +_+ gonna submit something tomorrow.. i guess ^___^ of course the user with my nickname is already exist =_= and i had to call myself AppleSin there^ ^ so... maybe see you there some day ))

Quote by GaiJiNHaha I was a bit afraid of the thumbnail, love Rain's work but her shadow looked blurry. But wow, never seen such a smooth use of patterns, and the tone of the skin really fits the art. Great job!

Thanks for the comments and favs. Happy you like my wallies. I wish I had more time to get better. But it's so difficult since I must find freetime for making wallies... or drawing... it has nothing to do with my work at university. *sigh* I wish I could do more ... so much left to learn. ^^

whaaaiii ^___^/
thanks a lot for all comments and favs ^ ^ i'm so glad you like them )
i'll look for something else in my works and submit soon) i see pisc must have certain dimentions on MT now... that's a trouble for me 'cuz i save my works in small variant with size about 600*800 px )) so i can't upload them here x)) really dunno what to do with my pics now )) make borders outside maybe? ))

Quote by GaiJiNWow
Awesome work on lighting, the overall picture being quite dark it really sets the mood. Very well designed as usual, love the focus on this. The colouring is impressive and shows a lot of hard work, and I really like the detail in the background. Great work on this, best of luck to you for the contest !

Thanks for the wishes and the feedback.
With the picture being that dark I had experiences some difficulties while printing it out. The details were quite hard to do but I'll maybe do more details from now on.
