Malkuth fighting boredom

[Malkuth]

new one... censored, of course

[Seitsuki]

Ooh.. getting better! Especially the hair and feet, those are beautiful. As in an aesthetic way. Not in any other way. Especially not in that way.

Thanks Actually her crotch is even more detailed, but not in a way would be acceptable in this forum.

Anyway, I think I overdid the details on the socks her left foot, maybe I should change some of the to shadows instead of outlines; plus I definitely have to thin her bangs in order to look more like Yukari.

[Malkuth]

A short update...

cover line-art almost finished...



obviously everything else is not for these mods

[Kimidori]

woa, you got a lot better in anatomy!

can you send me more of your recent works? I'm been trying to draw lately and really need reference.

[Malkuth]

First try, drawing Miu-sama@PapaKiki:



I want her to look older than 10, since the rest of the drawings I am working on are not stuff for kids

[Ray]

Ooh nice. You're improving. Shame it's SFW, though. :3

[Kimidori]

anatomy is good but I think you need to work on expression and eyes, they look kind of soulless.

Wow, that's good that makes me want to..... work on my stagnant skills, heck that makes me look terrible

[Malkuth]

Lineart should be better because I got a dirt cheap mousepen the other day, and wanted to use it for something... plus I started reading several manga here (since again they are dirt cheap), hence the SFW-clothing

Don't worry, I will PM links when I need input on the sketches about her private audition

I happen to love rape-eyes, makes feel more empathetic towards the characters. But nice catch, I just did a rapid coloring on the lineart to find errors, but looked decent so I posted it... it's by no means finished, and there are actually two version, this one, which needs some work to look more cheerful and vibrant, and a nude one where the expression came from, looking jaded, tired, but pretending to be cheerful and energetic.

I still think that I suck ass (I am better though than a lot of "artists" that I went through their work in Comiket, particularly the first two days); nevertheless, I draw because I really enjoy it, not because I want to become an artist

So give it a shot, I am curious to see what your mind comes up with, whether your hand accurately follows it

In between, thanks for the Airi@Oni-chichi suggestion (despite wishing to see her gang-raped, her bust size was a "no-go"), but it instantly reminded me of Miu@PapaKiki and all the comparisons between the two

Malkuth drew a loli! The world is going to end!!


First major note: you really should draw your lines faster. At the moment they look kinda shaky, rather than smooth and comfortable; it does stand out. Second as Kimi said the proportions are great, the head and hip look slightly off but all aside you're better than me in that aspect. Third, when are you going to treat us to a fully shaded colour pic? :P

[bhl88]

A yandere loli!
Malkuth: It's not a yandere!
.... it's not?

I have drawn younger looking girls before, Tsubaki and Yuno (Mirai Nikki), Kobato and Maria (Haganai), Kuuko and Nyaruko (Haiyore)

I must have missed some... but it's not a matter of speed in my case, rather when I draw vertical lines now I usually have to move my whole arm, rather then just my wrist (as with horizontal ones), which less stable and lines end up too shaky... if I am not to tired I usually rotate 90° draw horizontally and rotate back... but not always Another solution is to use paths in GIMP, but this is even more work, and takes out a lot of the fun.

They are off, when I tried to remove the clothes (i.e. draw her naked) her pelvis was much closer to Yukari's in proportions, rather then Miu (even post-pub) well that's not a big deal, I will cut her right leg, rotate it a little counter-clock-wise.

colour no time soon, shading when I decide story -> background art -> panel arrangements, which in my case takes forever

But if you want to have a look at how much I suck with colors, take a look at a couple I have posted on pixiv. Shades/Highlight it's a hit or miss sometimes I make them work, others they just look plain weird

Yandere? well, that's one path that the story might take

[Malkuth]

More Miu@PapaKiki... I plan to color these... in time due time of course and since I'll have an IRL model handy next month, I'll try to finish these before I return to Tokyo year



My main problem with Miu is that the original character designs have very wide heads (at least for my taste)... and I am torn between being loyal or modify in accordance to my preferences

Also, I still try to find the best clothes for Miu... there is a fine balance here between gyaru/yasui and yamato nadeshiko, that is really hard to understand and manipulate

PS: I have done a lot more line-art with Yukari@Nene and Tsubasa@Monogatari, but since even Monir had to delete images from this thread, I guess this is not the best place to share art-work

[winhlp32]

Your lineart is looking pretty nice now. Keep it up.

On coloring: If you're having problems picking colors, there is always the eye dropper/color picker tool in GIMP/Photoshop/etc. Get a good picture of Miu/Tsubasa/whoever, and use the colors the professional illustrators are using. Do this long enough and you should start to be able to judge on your own what colors are okay for skin or clothing and what colors makes the skin too dark, etc.

[Ledgem]

Impressive works, it looks like your skills are coming along nicely.

[Vexx]

Catching up on the art stuff .... yeah, the lineart is very cute.

[Malkuth]

My perverted mind can't help but extend every opening animation stills into 18+ material



... so I traced and modified a little Tsubasa from the opening's title still, and now I will indulge myself into undressing her, and adding 5 guys enjoying that awesome silhouette, since her pose is so convenient

PS: monir, no worries, I won't post it her

PS2: No more Miu@PapaKiki for this season... guilt is a very bad thing even when it concerns fictional character

PS3: The other day, I was at JapanExpo@Paris (to hear angela live for the first time, awesome in between) with some pro-wanna-be-friends that spent half the expo trying to draw manga characters, and I was amazed that despite using a touchpad to draw for a couple of years now, I can still work pretty well with pencil'n'paper, particularly without any model (living or drawn), afterall practice really pays off... I hope I can get back to my scanner back in London soon, so I use both approaches (analog and digital), not one or the other

[Seitsuki]

It's Shaft. They totally knew what they were doing. Perverts.

Btw where'd her left leg go?

[Malkuth]

I guess the beginning of the story should be safe enough for the forum





It starts like the original from Naruco Haneharu, but as some of you already know takes a very dark turn pretty soon.

Oh! and drawing clothes is really hard
