1 of 2 Winter Holiday pics. Due to my great stupidity and shitty excuse for focus. This didn't get finished completely.
The original CG was suppose to be her flying through the winter night sky on a broom inspired jet bike delivering presents. But I didn't have enough time to draw it so I had to use the concept design instead...

Also nstead of going no-lines, I had to Cell Shade it just like my old 2011 stuff. And as a result there's a lot less detail.


Well, I guess it's something and it did turn out better then expected for something rush colored and speed rendered in 3 hours time. Marry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2011.

And to a brand new year that may or may not kill us all! XD

The first drawing was the second thing I made in Jan 2011. But I never finished nor posted it till now. It's of a character I created that I at the time had no plans of using in mischief knights. (before that incident on PA back in June 2011 that led to me stopping Mischief Knights for a good while)

While I do have notes for this character. It's for the best If I don't share them. Since no ones really going to have any idea what I'm talking about without spoiling the entire prequal arc. You know, that skipped first story arc that I put off to the side in order to do the second arc first.

To make easy to understand what I'm talking, let me type this a bit clearer.

*"D-Resonate" is a story that revolves around 3 main characters. Dash Steller, Sarina Phantom, and Queenie Aroma.

*"Mischief Knights" is really "D-Resonate's" second major story arc. It pauses Dash's story and picks up where Sarina's left off earlier in the first arc.

*I skipped the first arc "Dash Chronicles" and nearly half of Dash's story and some of Queenie's because I favored Sarina more then those two. And because Dash's story gets confusing towards the middle since gets mixed in with Queenie's. If I didn't skip that arc and his story, you would have seen Rei a lot sooner along with Siren.

Anyway this was an kind of old design that was made for her. I felt that since it was literially the first thing I drew during start of 2011, it'd be a great thing to redraw and compare for 2012.

My appologies to everyone that I still owe art too. I'll get to you all in ASAP. Just dealing with somethings right now.

Update:

Is it okay If I make another thread for my 2012 stuff? If not then can a mod/admin erase "2011" from my thread's title. I tried but it wouldn't let me change the name.

I like the face on Annabel Vandalia 2012 FCSP. Or, like, the eyes and mouth, anyway. That pretty much carries the whole picture, really.

I mean, I'm no artist. I've seen way worse anatomy; it's, like, not distracting anymore. And your colored lines are pretty competent now. She's, like, pushing her boobs up with her arms, I guess, but you're definitely getting better. I just wish you'd draw other stuff sometimes. You know, since you want to get better at drawing in general, I think.

But, yeah, you're getting there, I think. Somewhat.

Oh, yeah, I've got a real specific criticism: if she's wearing a bra, her nipples are probably not gonna be visible through her... vest, I guess. Undershirt, maybe? I think that's, like, one of the functions of brassieres. Pretty sure.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Thanks for the response Phil. Once Commissions start picking up, you guys will see more varied stuff from me.

As to the last question, there are erotic bras that are made to give support while keeping the "point".

Don't ask how I know about them. It's not a question I'm willing to answer. >_>;

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Meh why not.

Blade Master +Sarina+ CG

Not really sure how many of you might remember this but I did mention before how Sarina's witch costume was special [ http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o...Wall2012FC.jpg ] during Mischief Knights Episode 0
. Well in addition to giving her some protection against spells and energy based attacks, it can also change form. For Sarina this function is called "Style Shift"

This is Sarina's "Blade Master Style". Her body suit becomes a corset, the cloak and gloves becomes a long coat, the stockings become hot pants/tights, the highheel sandles become open toe boots, and her hat turns into a buster sword named "Winter Rose" that's roughly 5.5ft in length.

With "Blade Master Style" Sarina's spells can be cast from her sword mid swing. Her blade can also freeze the spot it cuts. And no dispite the name it doesn't make a her a master swordswomen. Its just a cool name Sarina made up for it. XD

Her other form is called "Hex Master Style" which is shown in the link below to the left.

Re: Motion practice:

The first and foremost thing to note is that the picture really doesn't depict any motion at all. By all accounts the only things indicating she is doing anything other than floating on her back in midair are the barely-visible speedlines, which themselves only just correlate to the intended motion of the body itself. Even when done correctly, speed lines do not automatically equal motion. I can't fully explain how to do it properly, because it is a tricky subject, but start by looking up "dynamic motion", and other search terms along those lines.

Re: Siren Gale, even though it's two months old:

Her horns don't match up at all. One of them appears to be coming out just above her eyebrow, while the other one might possibly not be attached to her head at all.

I'm not sure what you were going for with the drop shadow, but it's more distracting than effective. If it's supposed to be an actual shadow, it needs to match the depth of her body features rather than perfectly matching her silhouette to essentially give us a cardboard cutout. If it's supposed to highlight her, a more effective way to do it would be to have it scaled up slightly to encompass her entire body, rather than just being shifted slightly to the right.

I also cannot fathom why her pants are undone (among other things across your many pictures, too numerous to mention) particularly because I seem to recall you taking issue with your work being seen as T&A in the past.

Re: Most recent Sarina

Unless there's another, identical light source we cannot see, it doesn't make much sense for there to be glowy blue highlights on her front. The moon is, after all, clearly behind her. If the light source is in fact in front of her, it (and her) would need to be a lot brighter in order to reflect off the moon like that.

Also, the folding on the sleeves is somewhat arbitrary; her left sleeve appears to be twisted round and round her arm, even though there's no discernible reason for that to be the case. Her right sleeve has a similar issue, except it somehow continues to twist in the same way (from our perspective) after her arm folds. Basically, Unmoving Plaid applied to clothing folds.

---

And on a general note, the hair on your characters is way too stiff. In some cases it seems like the hair even has joints. Even when treated with hairspray or something similar, hair doesn't look like that when treated right. You need to make the hair appear a bit more fluid and less like a contiguous mass. Use more, and softer, curves, rather than keeping as much of it plastered to their skulls as possible, and try to minimize perfectly parallel lines.

Further, there could stand to be more consistency in terms of muscles. It doesn't really make sense when your girls have supernaturally-chiseled abs and little-to-no muscle mass anywhere else on their bodies.

Impossibly-skintight clothes remains an issue, though I've noticed less so than before. So, progress.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Damn it Loyal, your a few day later then I expected. :shacksfists:

Serious post: Thanks for the critics, I'll look at when I'm ready to handle it. As for the Skin tight cloths. personally I think I've just about nailed the tight clothing effects dead on and feel that if there are any visual errors that those errors would mainly be errors with the way the lighting is on the clothing. None the less I'll take a look back at this stuff. There may have been something I missed.

The motions response was helpful though. Capturing motion has been a bit difficult for me and is part of the reason the comic has yet to happen (it's not really an easy thing to get right to begin with). Your feedback will go toward helping me getting that right.

As for the muscles, that might take sometime but I'll get there with it. XD I know they look weird, I'll try working more towards correcting that. lol

Again thanks for the feed back, I'll address each of these problems in future works dated after March 5, 2012 handwritten date.

The reason I say after that date is becuase There are still some things that were drawn, and colored before this date that might get posted in the near future as FCs.

Also my apologies if there's anything I forgot to mention.

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Wait I almost forgot.

About the blue lighting on Phantomcat-race characters and really anything white/grey.

Recently after December 24, 2011, I started rending characters/objects that were either White, or grey a light sky blue color. It' was something I tryed out since there really wasn't much of a way for me to bounce light off of bright white or grey. I've seen a few artist doing this on anime-styled works and figured it'd be an okay way of rending light on white or grey objects, fur, metal, ect for me since D-Resonate at it's core is a western anime-styled project.

If this isn't okay let me know and I'll change it/reduce use of it. And if you can please list correct or better color choices for light affects on white/grey objects, fur, metal, ect.


Thank you for your help and critic(s)
