The Warring States of NPF - Post your sketches here!

Demetrius, it's so action-packed! You have re-awakened me to the power of cross hatching! Must find markers...

Dangerskew, do you draw these from scratch, living models, or photographs? I'm hoping to gague how long I would have to spend toiling away to imitate this depth of detail. Also, if I've been horribly out-skilled by yet another member here.

And what is scratchboard? Surprised to say I've never heard of it.

Scratchboard is (at least the stuff I had) basically white paper with black ink all over it and you scratch the image into the ink (creating a white-on-black picture) It's very cool. I looove scratchboard.

Also, I looove Legend of Zelda (Twilight Princess specifically (don't worry, this isn't a spoiler really for TP, if it is in any way (other than maybe the hair) then I must be psychic, because I tried to kind of make him more of an original style of Ganondorf just doing what Ganon likes to do best: Lounge in his Laz-E-Boy Hyrule throne.)

I got my hands on a "how to draw" book with a nice section on muscles so I decided to try it out on Ganondorf here. Ah yeah, and he's SUPPOSED to be wearing leggings, but until he's colored, I guess it will just look like he's inches from flashing you.

"It's Ganon-o-clock!"

I draw from a photograph or picture thing. It takes me hours butmy one friend does it in about 1/2 hour.

Ooh, hey, I do know that scratchstuff! I didn't know it had a name.

Photos eh? Looks like it's back to making abusive use of the mimic ability for me then! Don't feel bad about your buddy being a sonic sketcher, you're not alone. My brain is a hi-quality but megatastically slow processor, so I take forever to do anything. A more exaggerated version might be a sloth with Stephen Hawking's brain. (Hmm, actually, he doesn't move much to begin with...)

Drawing realism that fast is unnatural anywho!

Oh so if anyone feels like coloring that drawing I'd appreciate it. I have no coloring skills :(.

It's..almost..frightening how quickly I've been learning Corel Painter just by dinking around. I fear photoshop will no longer be used for lineart and coloring. GASP!

Skweeb - I really like the shade of red on his coat. It's a really nice color.

Heeyy... is that Ganon's original big-ass sword from the E3 Zelda trailer? The one everybody dropped dead over, before Windwaker happened?

Ohboy ohboy that was such a cool fight scene!! The nostalgia (yes, twilight princess took that long) makes me all misty-eyed.
