Title: Winter
Knight: Kristles
Original Dimension: 900x1350
Current Dimension: 750x1125
Software: Photoshop CS5
Tablet: Bamboo Wacom Pen Touch
Date and Time Stamp completion: 12-14-12 1PM-1:50PM

This has been the first time since sophomore year in HS using a graphics tablet. I was never good at coloring in my subjects because I lack patience. I hope I this satisfies any of you as this is my very first spiral knights drawing. I will draw and post more when I find more free time.

[Dreamy Leone]

Wow, very nice work! I'd love to see more

Title: Pretty Boy
Knight: Zenki
Original Dimension: 1600x1500 (final piece)
Current Dimension: 1000x938
Software: Photoshop CS5
Tablet: Bamboo Wacom Pen Touch
Date and Time Stamp completion: 12-15-12 1:56AM-4:35AM

I decided to draw the pretty boy Zenki! I added draft versions so you could see how I drew and section/measured important parts of this subject. This was drawn by memory. Though I did have to go back to Zenki to look up his Sudaruska once more (way to much texture so I winged it, *I winged everything before I forget how this subject looks.*) Hopefully I improved a little bit with my CGI. Thanks!

Title: Laziness
Knight: Siber
Current Dimension: 1000x1140
Software: Photoshop CS5
Tablet: Bamboo Wacom Pen Touch
Date and Time Stamp completion: 12-16-12 -- 12-17-12

This is Siber, I had trouble with it, and had too look at this subject a few times ingame to get everything how I wanted it to look. I think I did a good job... I tried to make it clean as possible, but as you can see some brushed areas aren't that clean at all. And the colors, shading, and proportions have tiny bits of flaws. I feel like I could polish this more, but time is precious! Thanks!

A request from Zenkidoodles.

Here you will see signature art work that I had made from another forum early this year.
These are anime signatures. These work are mine and not to be ripped!
If you are wondering how this was all done. It starts of with a render then I start effects from scratch.
I wish I could have done more this year but I have been busy.
However I do have more Signatures from previous years, I just don't have them with me.

If you guys want to see more, let me know and I could whip more when I have the time!

Software: Photoshop CS5

Well this is a late Christmas gift for our Princess Mawa. This was a difficult piece and there are still improvements that can be made. But I’ll leave it at that. It took several days to complete, hope you guys like this.

Thank you so much! It's a wonderful Christmas present.

:O these are sooooo PRETTY!! XD Aww i'm so jealous that you can draw!! XD

Was browsing through my old e-mails and found these attachments. I am aware that this image is out in the net being used by people. I showcased this to the internet a few years ago after getting a B letter grade from my graphics design class in the 10th grade. Well this proves that I sort of lost my touch on drawing. This is how I draw, I use measurement rulers in Photoshop to help me make accurate diagrams for body proportions.

[Mawashimono]

That is really amazing how you do that.

You can do it if you try

That is really amazing how you do that.

thanks
i'm not sure... it sometimes comes to me and sometimes i get nothing. i did get help from a classmate in the graphics class. he had a manga book and i looked through it to give me some reference ideas. using a reference helps a ton if your imagination isn't that great. this one happens to look nice because it took me a full week to finish it.

[Zenje]

Very nice.

[Kristles]

I don't watch anime, but I find them to be some what cute.

This is called a smudged style signature. This style heavily only relies on Photoshops smudge tool to create effects like the one shown below.

This isn't bad at all. Why? It could potentially be a good work. If you ask me this is only a draft. If this were to be embellished with backgrounds and colored it would be a master piece.
You just need to find your artistic style in terms of theme.
nice work

WOW This is very amazing work. I am honored and grateful you took the time to do this

[Chocuri]

A sketch of Emyreia and Argent Dawn in the Ironclaw Munitions Factory. Drawn in Sketchbook Express.
Nothing compared to Kristles >.<


Personally I don't care too much about the "power struggle" and the truths and half-truths flying around...
As long as the Clockwork keeps turning, I'll keep my eyes in the scope and putting lead downrange.

Long live the all of us (wherever we are) and let's take this world already.

Omg I love it!
Just remove the sketch marks and lightly trace the sketch to one line to divide each color or give detail to.
Saturate the colors more to make it look vibrant.
also soft brush the background with a dark grey. white makes the drawing less bold.
i love that box monster robot (sorry i suck with monster names TT_TT) but since the is angled down more along with robotbox being to small.low. it think the apporiate scene for this picutre is Emy shooting down hill/slope
i love the creativity on this one. i give it a 8/10.

[Kristles]

Next drawing is going to be Leo, I've started on it around mid december but never finished it and the PSD file somehow got corrupt... So I'll be working it from scratch and memory again. I am not sure how long it will take, since I will only be working on it whenever I feel like or have the chance to work on it.

[Dreamy Leone]

Wow, sounds interesting. I'll definitely be looking forward to it!

[Kristles]

Hey guys,

I've been really busy lately, so i just started on leos drawing. I'll be posting a new image each time i stop so you guys can see from start to finish.

I know its not much and it looks like the generic same ol stance that i used on the previous ones. this resembles Red-Onii's posture almost.
This is basically how i start off in any drawing i do. i set my photoshop rulers out and measure and place guide lines to help me place the parts of the body.
I also use arrows and draw other lines to show the direction of flow for the outfit and weapon.

I know i said I always try to draw by memory, but forgot what loadout Leo uses so this is the only reference i am using
Reference:

this pretty much tells me that he wears, GF/SnarbCoat/BarbShield/Scarf/toupee/prismatic eyes? and thats really all the information i need ^^


This Approximately took me 10mins-15mins to sketch out.
please forgive me my

Next Step:
When i have the chance to work on his again I will make a clean crisp outline of this sketch, and apply noticeable detailing.
