The Art Thread
As some of you people may have noticed, I have not been too active recently. I suspect the cause is some recent issues that have come to surface.

Regardless, I have come up with a fun idea to lift my spirits, and perhaps others as well.

Please, share your art here. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece. Just anything you are proud of. I love seeing the art that other people make... no matter the level of skill, effort shows. It can be quite inspiring or motivating.

Just be sure to keep things positive. Art is a wonderful and unique thing, and we have to realize that not everyone will be at the same skill level. I do not want any hate here.

I shall dig through my files and find something worthy to show shortly.

Pretty good
Kitagawa
Yes, but will others come in here? Perhaps, perhaps not... I can hope I suppose.

And why is that? Imgur is always an option and it is what I turn to most, as it is reliable for showing images on this site.

i wish i could art but i'm still in the doodling and technical exercises stage

looking forward to seeing everyone else's though!
-Akira_Kurusu-
I'll look into it later thanks for the information Kitagawa
Kitagawa
@3xcal1bur

Oh! It's fantastic! I love the way you did the lines on the coat. I've always been a big fan of such types of stylistic patterns but I never seem to make it work quite that well when I try...

Though you seem to have nailed it. The lack of colors as well makes what few colors there are stand out as well. It's wonderful!

A, incredible piece of art!
Kitagawa

holy crap!! you guys are really good!!

Alternate thread title: Show your artwork here to get it complimented by Kitagawa.

@Kitagawa
thanks! I do a lot of drawing but I don't really do digital stuff. (My tablet broke a long time ago :,,,^))
-Labrys-
I mean, it's not finished by I'm trying to draw Labrys's adventures at LeBlanc...

I'm not a very good artist. More of a shoddy hobbyist.

I can draw a lot better than this but here's a doodle in science class.
Kitagawa
@3xcal1bur

That's no good. Are you going to get a new one? Though honestly I have a lot of respect for those who do traditional art. It is very difficult to keep everything in order when correcting any mistakes you could make is an impossible feat.

I would know I dabble into traditional artwork every once and a while and it can truly be a chore at times.
-Labrys-
Crap my shape lines are showing ;_;
-Akira_Kurusu-
That's so cute Goroami!

@Kitagawa
I was always really shitty at lineart on the computer and i kept using art programs too hd for my poor laptop lmao. Once I get a part-time job over the summer I plan on getting a new tablet, i would really like to get better at digital art.
Kitagawa
@-Labrys-

That is fantastic so far! I love your style of lines! Clean and thin yet somewhat choppy. It truly is a wonderful style of lining. It would appear to make coloring be a bit more difficult but I am sure you will be able to make it look fantastic regardless! I can not wait to see the finished picture!
3xcal1bur
@goroami
those are cool! I like how teddie's in the bag over there instead of Mona.
Kitagawa
@goroami

School doodles or not you have a fantastic style. It's incredibly adorable! It will be a treat to see what you draw without the stress of school lingering over you.
goroami
@-Akira_Kurusu- and @3xcal1bur Thanks, and yeah, I thought Teddie would be a nice fit.
Kitagawa
@3xcal1bur

I see! I hope all goes well, learning with a tablet can be very strange. Your traditional artwork practice doesn't translate as well as one would think. It can be quite difficult to get the hang of.
3xcal1bur
@Labrys
your lineart is so smooth?? hOW
-Labrys-
@Kitagawa Coloring is a pain in the butt. That line art is so far 15 different layers. I typically insert layers in between the different line art layers depending on how the colors need to overlap and which colors i want to have crisp edges. I'm really really slow as a result.
-Akira_Kurusu-
Brb I'm gonna upload mine too
-Labrys-
@3xcal1bur I just use long strokes on my tablet? I spend so long on it. I constantly draw a line, undo, retry, undo, repeat until im content. I'm horribly inefficient.
-Labrys-
Still can't figure out hands to save my life though. Hahaha
3xcal1bur
@-Labrys-
the more you know
thanks for the tips!
3xcal1bur
@Labrys
hANDS ARE THE BANE?? OF?? MY?? EXISTENCE?? I draw them like 5 million times until i get them right and I can neVER ANIMATE THEM. E V E R
-Labrys-
Oh also @3xcal1bur my canvas is 1800w x 1084h with a 71 pixel per inch res

Here's some 'actual work' Copic Markers are the best btw!

@-Labrys-

I actually really enjoy drawing hands a lot. They are my favorite things to draw and I actually go out of my way to get them in the pictures I do.
3xcal1bur
@goroami
HOLY JESUS THATS GOOD
-Labrys-
@Kitagawa I am so bad at hands, i try to avoid them. I have a few drawings that dont even HAVE hands even when they should i couldn't do it right.
-Akira_Kurusu-
I know right Excalibur!
goroami
@3xcal1bur Thanks! But... not until you realize that I almost put 'You're Lie In April' lel XD!
3xcal1bur
@goroami
i have like two copic markers but they work so well! theyre rlly expensive tho
-Labrys-
Like this one.

https://anonimag.es/image/JT9sHtH

Just gave up and didn't do the hands for my DnD character. hahaha
-Labrys-
@goroami so goddddd!!!

Another example of what I do. I'll dig up another shortly.

For some reason looking at that drawing feels super familiar. I have no idea why though.

Man, @-Labrys- Your's looks fine as well! I wish I could do digital art, but I can't seem to get out of that 'realm.' I'm like kinda stuck and it sucks having to buy more markers, Copic Marker prices are a bitch, in Japan it was 200 yen just for 1 ciao marker!!!
3xcal1bur
@Kitagawa
bRAVELY DEFAULT Y E S I LOVE THAT GAME
also the glow effect is reallly cool!!
@-Labrys-
hot damn that art though. i could never draw clothing like that lolol
3xcal1bur
or i fucked up and i thought that was tiz and i was way off
Kitagawa
@-Labrys-

I put it on Tumblr a while ago. If you're a fan of Maplestory it's a character from it, Luminous.
Kitagawa
@3xcal1bur

It's Luminous from Maplestory. I have drawn Tiz before though but I would like to only show my SFW pictures here.
3xcal1bur
@Kitagawa
cute!
3xcal1bur
i played maplestory once but it crashed on my computer... i should probably fix it up sooner or later but eeeh im lazy.
Kitagawa
@3xcal1bur

Fun fact about Bravely D though: My first playthrough of the game I hated Ringabel literally so much that I built my entire party around killing him repeatedly and gaining power from it.
-Labrys-
@Kitagawa Never played Maplestory, but I'm familiar with it. And I did venture into Tumblr for a short time, so maybe that's where. I dunno. I like it a lot though. All of your art is absolutely stunning.
3xcal1bur
@Kitagawa
oh
now that is hardcore gaming. or just hardcore ringabel-hating lmao
Kitagawa
@-Labrys-

I am a huge slut for Maplestory. It's a bit unfortunate that nobody else really likes it. I get to sit here and fanboy over something that literally only I like and sometimes my friends need to put up with me geeking over it.
-Labrys-
@goroami I got a really really cheap, small tablet at Staples for 80 USD. it takes some getting used to? Like the looking down and it not being there really threw me off, because I mostly sketched before I got the tablet. But I grew into it.
-Labrys-
@Kitagawa I had a friend that was really into it. I thought about getting into it, but I got slammed with responsibilities and work sadly, so I never got around to it. I think it's cool though.
3xcal1bur
@Kitagawa
all my cousins REALLY like maplestory but they live up in ny so i hardly get to see them or look at the game that much.
-Akira_Kurusu-
I couldn't bring up the drawings
goroami
@-Akira_Kurusu- It's really easy the way I did it, I got my phone and posted it on my twitter and opened the image in a new tab then copied the link.
Kitagawa
I just really REALLY like Maplestory it's a horrible game and I can't wait to sell my soul to Maplestory 2 whenever that is translated and comes out for us.
3xcal1bur
@Kitagawa
i tried to play maplestory 2 on my dads pc but my korean was not good enough T^T
-Akira_Kurusu-
Goroami I don't have any forms of social media
3xcal1bur
my mom always tried to get me to learn the language but i never got too good at it.
goroami
@-Akira_Kurusu- That's right... you could always upload from your phone.
Kitagawa
I don't know any Korean hahaha. Just gotta wait for the official translation.
3xcal1bur
@Kitagawa
when will translation come home (or to a new players house idk)
-Akira_Kurusu-
I tried to Goroami
-Labrys-
Wow going through my computer I have A LOT of unfinished projects.

I'm afraid of finishing some of them because I've never actually done backgrounds. Like environments. Like this is supposed to have like a park or something outside. But I just dunno where to start.

;_; Impending doom.

So...I kind of wanted to share this one, I made it today when I was bored so....yeah, it's not that great but...y'know.
goroami
@-Labrys- I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU CAN DRAW THIS GOOD?! You are the drawing god, that looks so cute! I wish I could do digital art! It would save so much money rather than buying ink for my markers.
Kazuya
http://i.imgur.com/9qHybfp.jpg

I hope it works now.
Kazuya
Crap.
Well, anyway hahaha
-Labrys-
Love it @Kazuya!!
-Labrys-
@goroami I'm not. I'm a physicist. My sister is an artist though, as her profession.
3xcal1bur
@Kazuya
cooool dude
also you got a good picture of the whole thing 50% of my picture is d e s k
-Akira_Kurusu-
Interesting
goroami
@-Labrys- That sounds nice, but don't get so hung up, your work is absolutely amazing!
Kitagawa
@Kazuya

I love your art style. It's so bold and the way you draw faces and eyes is really rad.
Kazuya
Wow...that means a lot guys, I'll get better!
-Labrys-
Something about your art feels very edgy @Kazuya. Devious and...I dunno. It feels like...Bad behavior?? I have no clue how to describe it. I love it a lot though.
3xcal1bur
@-Labrys-
the persona 5 vibe
Kazuya
Might be the smirks, I mean...I usually imagine that Kazuya and Tatsuya do that a lot
-Labrys-
Kindda makes me think of the art on the Air Gear OST. The Skankfunk album?

The eyes and the smirks.
-Labrys-
Like they're not very similar. But it's what came to mind.
Kazuya
That style is much more cartoony, but I feel like... a familiarity!
-LightningFarron-
I think its the intent. Trouble makers. Lol. I dunno. I just really really love your style @Kazuya
Kitagawa
Bumping this to see if we can get any more artists that wanna show off.

Thank you. :3
I feel a bit more encouraged to do some more P5 characters now.
