Interesting... I hate how I have to scroll a lot though. x]
I was comparing the first and the last. It made me laugh. xD

I LIVE!!

Well, I was drawing chibi versions of a couple of my roleplay characters last week. One of my friends saw my chibi drawing of my three main Ragnarok guys and wanted to know what they looked like in their RO stuff ('cause I'd drawn them wearing 'casual' clothing). So...I came up with this. I apologize for the really cruddy background. @.@
But this is the sort of thing these three would do. The blond guy loves making his brown-haired friend's life hard.

I'm aware that the blond guy looks really feminine. That's sorta intentional. And if the brown-haired guy looks feminine too, THAT was accidental. For some reason, people only mistook him for a girl in this particular drawing of him. In all my other drawings, they can tell he's a guy. :/ The guy wearing white...no one ever seems to have problems identifying him as a male. Must be the hair.

Pretty funny, some of these people's expressions when I tell them the one in the middle is a guy, not a girl.

And that really ugly handwriting on the bottom is mine. I didn't bother trying to erase it or making it look nice. Too lazy. :3

I got into a really, really, REALLY random fanart mood two days ago. I also happened to be rereading ROM at the time. Therefore, I now present Shauni-Sama, Haku, and young Moen.

I should really attempt doing backgrounds, but I'm lazy. And I hate drawing backgrounds. Not good at them. D:
Anyway, I couldn't get Shauni-sama's expression just the way I wanted it. After about fifty erasures and redrawings, I gave up, inked it, colored it, and scanned it in. :/
Who can tell me what was happening in ROM where I found my reference pictures? :D



EDIT: I'd appreciate some constructive criticism here; I'm constantly trying to improve my art, and it's nice to know that people think it's good, so don't think I'm trying to tell you guys to stop commenting (though most people don't anyway). Feel free to be harsh in criticizing my work. I do dislike being laughed at, however. :/

Oh. My. God. That. Is. Amazing.
I. Should. Probably. Stop. Talking. Like. This. As. It. Is. Difficult. And. Annoying.

Woah... first time I've ever been to this thread. You're really good at drawing people!

[Josiah]

Since you asked for some constructive criticism... In some cases I'd say the shading it a bit too subtle. A little more would be good. Also, the one real weak point in your art (at least that I've noticed) has always been the arms and shoulders. They just don't look quite natural (two thin, not quite the right shape), although Moen there is an improvement in that regard.

[Kisori]

i dunno...looks great to me,looks like someone is making a comic book,heh just kidding

[BionicleMandi121]

Thanks, Kisori and Doodleshark. ^^

I don't know about the subtle shading thing, since I don't really like to shade anime-style where there's clear borders and a max of three shades per color sort of thing. But I'll work on making the arms and shoulders look better. Lately, I've been mostly trying to get the male anatomy down (how'd I do in that regard?). Arigatou for the criticism. :D

[Kisori]

Backgrounds?Hmmm....my newest art has this kind of spiked air around him,awsome,lemme try and get it into a post...

[BionicleMandi121]

Well, since this thread has been so inactive, all that's missing here are the images I put up just sometime last week. The ones that makes ImageShack hate me. Which I shall now put back up so ImageShack can hate me some more.

Pen drawing done during a panel at Anime Expo (when I was really bored).
3D Art assignments I did in sophomore year
My favorite 3D art assignment in junior year, for rather obvious reasons.
My cosplay/Halloween costume from Halloween. Don't have any photos of me at AX yet.

Oh, and the three or so comments after I posted are missing too, but as they're comments, I can't exactly summarize them.

[BionicleMandi121]

Been doing a lot of drawing in my sketchbook lately, since we do need four pages a week in there. Finally got everything of worth scanned in yesterday, and then uploaded them all up onto DeviantArt. Since there's over twenty of them, I'll just put up a link instead of draining bandwidth or something.

[BionicleMandi121]

Even though no one cares, I'm gonna update anyway.

First up, Arian and Rogue Blade from the now-dead Inner Hearts RP. Next, my Ragnarok Online Stalker.

There's three new deviations up there too, but they were...sort of collaborations with someone else, so I won't link to them.

[Siranae]

Wow, that's really good! I like the way you colored them too

[Astral Omega]

Your pictures are made of an amazing jealousy-inducing mixture of awesome, win and talent all stewed together in a big 'ol pot of epic.

The most annoying thing about them is they are done in pencil... my scanner hates pencil :(

But thankyou, my eyes are happy after seeing those pictures^^

[BionicleMandi121]

Thanks for the comments, guys. ^^

Whoo, more stuff.
I really haven't been drawing much lately. Too busy reading or watching One Piece. Again.
Most of them are Ragnarok Online fanart. To be exact, of an Assassin, an Assassin Cross, a Wizard, and a group picture of Novice, Wizard, and Hunter.
There's also this picture I took of the present I gave my parents, which took a heck of a lot of time to make...

[BionicleMandi121]

Whoot, another update.

Fanart of Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho for one of my friends. It's her birthday present.
Random drawing of one of my Mabinogi characters. This one's my elf. I'll probably be putting up my other characters later.
A really really really really old picture I did of Azriel from Saber Knight Saga. This is supposed to be the reference image that shows how he looks and what he's wearing, and what his Saber is like. I drew the outline April 2008, but didn't finish shading the digital version until today. @.@
