/jp/ - Otaku Culture

...you're so much better at drawing sfw than porn pal.

>>10038770
Don't you agree? I think so too. He needs to draw less porn and more SFW.

Between Pikaman White 2, AC3, WWE13...yes WWE 13, shut up, Halo Kitty 4 and my 2 jobs, I'm finding little time to actually draw...

I'll never win the Rustle Championship at this rate.

>>10038770

That's the same for plenty of pixiv artists. Too bad they still do porn :(

>>10039036
> :(
Please don't do this, or just get out

>>10038972
No blogging please.

Give me something to draw /jp/, go go go.

>>10038581
why'd you delete all of your porno and original work from pixiv?

>>10039171
Satori wearing the amour of a knight

>>10039178
That doesn't even make any sense. It's brilliant.

I'll try it after I sleep, unless I get a better suggestion.

>>10039171

I finally finished it

It got played on the radio last night, which my parents didn't bother to stay up to listen. It's ok though, I have you guys.

>>10039570
That artificial voice is just awful to hear.

>>10039570

stop mixing the triangle channel with anything that isn't 8 or 16 bit it doesn't work! also the voice is bad.

>>10038581
If you drew that, congratulations. You're better than 99% of Pixiv.

I wish we'd have more people like you.

>>10040684
Wow, a reckless statement. The image is far from being that good.

>>10040701
I never said it was good. I said it was better than 99% of Pixiv.

You should understand what I'm trying to say already.

>>10040701
It isn't, but a huge portion of Pixiv is actually pretty awful, and you never see it because they have a good ranking system.

>>10039172
A lot of artists don't want to be constantly reminded of their past abominations. It may sound extreme and unreasonable, but it helps them to grow as artists.

Hey guys. It's not really /jp/ related, but I just wanted to hear your thoughts about this chunk of notes I put together. It's not finished yet, but I kinda need some external points of view.

http://soundcloud.com/freespiritedoldtimer/heartfelt-work-in-progress

>>10040964
Eh? But I never listen to any music made in these threads, I'm here just for the drawings.

>>10040964
Not bad.

>>10040967
Nobody cares

>>10040991
Exactly.

>>10040964
I like it. Keep going with it.

>>10040967
It's okay dude. As I said, it's not even /jp/ related, juste some original amateurish music. It's just that, when you do stuff like this, you get used to your own crap, and you just fail to notice huge flaws anyone would notice right away. And I don't have many people to show this to, so I thought I'd just post it in one of the few 4chan boards I still browse.

>>10038972
Make a schedule for youself and try to get at least one hour of draw time a day on it. Three if you truly wish to achive rustle

>>10041080
Three? Smalltime. More like eight hours if you want to get places quickly. I realize not everyone can do that, however.

>>10041096
Well he said he was working so 8 might be overkill.

We're having far to many visitors lately, aren't we?

>>10041943
I only browse this thread and still think the same, so can only fear for what is happening to the rest of the board.

>>10041943
I think it's more likely to be DeviantFaceTumblr than /pol/.

I posted about starting this trace in a previous thread, but never actually posted the finished version. Background is vectormagiced because lazy.
Not all that original, considering it's just a higher res recreation of an existing image, but I still spent a fair amount of time on it.

>>10042021
Don't even bother posting shit like that. It's not OC at all.

>>10042072
I'll join in on making text-only posts containing nothing related to the thread at all then. Those are more on-topic.

>>10042084
They are pretty much the same. The only difference is that you think that tracing is somehow better.

>>10042114
Then feel free to bitch at every other post in the thread as well.

A quickie. I seriously need to learn how to draw water, it's been driving me crazy these weeks.

>>10042261

Shitty waves version. I know I know, I'll try to find a tutorial later. I just wanted to get this idea out of my head for a while.

Ironical captcha: constantine elpsehen

>>10042297
I like how you draw. Groovy dude.

>>10042297
I think it looks pretty decent.

>>10042261
>Quickie

How quick?

>>10042261
>>10042297
You're on a right track, but even when you're sketching there are some things that you can not sacrifice when rendering.

You want to keep the waves simple, but actually acting like water. You can get away with being a bit random with your lines when it comes to some things, but you don't get that freedom when you're trying to convey a specific texture.

>>10042300
>>10042311

Thanks!

>>10042335

Like 15 minutes before going to sleep which I'm about to do

>>10042347

Yeah, I didn't put too much thought into perspective which now that I look again looks kinda weird in some places. But yeah, for a sketch I did it a bit too complicated right?

Anyways, thanks in advance for anyone who liked it, all critiques are well received. Just Paint Tool SAI if anyone's curious.

>>10042369
The whole picture in 15 minutes or just the waves? If you spent 15 minutes to draw all that, then that's incredibly fast, I think .

>>10042261
Her neck seems long, but I like messy style drawings.

>>10042261
You should really study up on anatomy and perspective
Even for a quick sketch this is painful to look at, although I do like your coloring.

>>10043003
You need a blog I can stalk, sir.

I'm in the progress of coloring a sketch I found on danbooru. I'm loving this.

>>10043003
Her head seems to be a bit off compared to the rest of the body. Doesn't feel natural.

>>10046093

I see what you mean, I think the body width is a bit too small too.

babby's first Marisa

>>10047293
not big enough.

>>10047293
Oh, pretty cool. Only thing that looks kind of odd is her face, the position probably doesn't help either. Her huge hat gives me a headache every time I try to look at it specifically for some reason.

I really like the hands, broom and clothes. Hair is nice too.

On topic bump

>>10048663
There was no need for a bump.

>>10048674
It was on topic and on the last 3 pages

>>10049827
Something must be on her mind beside reading, good job. Also incoming faggot storm of bitching.

>>10048163
It is the near eye and chin relation as well as the hair at the back of her head is too far out unless she has it pony tailed. The left foot probably could rotate in some to better align with the hips. Hat I think is cool the bow at her back though needs to be smaller for how much is being revealed.

Thanks anon.
If you want to make games, give construct or game maker a try (seriously).

>>10051147
That's a good idea actually.

>>10051536
Ayup. Also it's not strictly necessary to make the player bullets transparent either (especially not quite that much, they look a little ghostly). Making sure all enemy bullets get drawn over them should be sufficient.

That's more up to you, though. Doesn't really matter.

oh well, guess there's nothing wrong in being a little gay once in a while.

>>10054182
It's only gay if it's a man. Jesus Christ, don't you guys get this?

>>10054182
It's still a girl. Think of it this way: if someone posted a picture of an image of an unmistakably masculine naked man, with a masculine body shape etc, with the only catch that the man in the pic has a vagina instead of a penis, should you be attracted?

By your logic, you should, because otherwise you'd be gay, since she has a vagina and all. Except, you know, you're now attracted to a man's body.

>>10054200
This. People who base their entire sexuality on being attracted to the vagina is ridiculous.

Please help me /jp/.
i bought a tablet last summer and am troubled...
how can i stop my art from been so sketchy?
also can you help me with the coloring?
Thanks!
btw am a big mima sucker

>>10060704
Can't help you with sketchiness, I can't shake it myself either.

Study a bit of color theory, it doesn't take too much to grasp the basics at least. You're using white to highlight and black to shade, and that quickly gets dull and gray - not to mention the shading you do is very minor and light. Shadows aren't black, they differ depending on lighting and surface colors and so on.

>>10060727
can you link me please?

>>10060704
Not really "sketchiness", but I believe you have a somewhat slight case of "lazy lines".

You can read this thing here about it:
http://www.animationmeat.com/pdf/misc/waltstanchfield/32ws_lazy_lines.pdf

>>10060741
>http://www.animationmeat.com/pdf/misc/waltstanchfield/32ws_lazy_lines.pdf
thank you!

>>10060704
how about you sketch THIS!

*whips out cock*

>>10060704

From what I can tell, the shading seems to be almost random; it's not showing any depth at all.

You need to ask yourself where the light source is, and which parts of the clothing/body part is away from the light source. That's where you shade.

Take the folds in the clothing, for example. Folds in clothing are definitely a place where the light source can't reach easily. Shade those.

Of course, that means you need to know how clothing folds as well. Looking at your drawing, it seems like you don't have a very good grasp of it. Try hanging some pieces of cloth and see how the folds come about. Use photos and other materials to take reference from.

These threads are great!
You guys have tons of talent!

>>10063830
Yeah, my hand was getting tired so I couldn't bother anymore

>>10063831
I know the spine is a bit wonky, but the anatomy should be plausible enough. If not, please do redline it, I'm already blind to the mistakes.

>>10063859
I can't redline but here I fixed it so it looks 90% less like shit
The spine is too much like a く still though

>>10063877
I can agree that from the waist down it was pretty awful, but seriously? You can't bend your spine that far? Are you a vegetable, or are you recently recovering from muscle atrophy?

>>10063894
There's no person who can bend his spine in such a sharp angle from such a relaxed position

Also the spine doesn't bend at the ribcage but little above the hips

Should be more presentable now. Deleting the old one.

>>10039570
>notice on your bio you use the Stella Artois glass

>>10063968
...the spine bends in several places. There's thirty-something bones in the spine, not two. It's fairly easy to get a posture like that without straining. Just because you lean hunched over your computer all day doesn't mean it's not possible. I'm not defending his drawing either--which could still use work--but it's very within the limits of a healthy human body.

Hello /jp/. I just handed in my major IT project for college today. We got to do whatever we wanted for it so I made a visual novel about YOU. I couldn't make a full length piece within the deadline so I just made a short demo and focused on functionality, hence the shitty placeholder graphics. However, now that the engine is near complete and I no longer have deadlines to worry about, I'm taking this project to the internet to finish in my own time. Please tell me what you think of it so far. <3
http://www.mediafire.com/?dt22m293c6viv4f
Keep in mind that this was made entirely in Flash with AS2.0. Be gentle.

>>10065205
Good to see janitors/mods are keeping up the good work.

>>10065221
why did you spoiler college?

>>10065205
/jp/ is still a work safe board, super autist.

>>10065293
I don't see why. No one here has a job.

>>10065330
there are plenty of ``NEETs'' that fill that role, sorry.

I made a new loli. Her name is Gabriela. She's a low level angel who handle small deeds and blessings. She's always causing trouble though, things get otta control for her and stuff..

>>10065587
She's mean and cocky even though she's weak. She can fight a little though. I wanna do full picture with her and her guardian. he the guy who save her all the time.

Why are most of these completely unrelated to /jp/?

>>10065597
Don't got name for him yet.

>>10065599
I hope you aren't new here.

>>10065605
I'm not.

I just fail to see the point of this thread in relation to the board in general, if the original content isn't board specific

You might as well make a "Ghost story thread for /jp/sies" or a "Cosplay thread for /jp/sies" instead of on /x/ and /cgl/.

The idea behind various boards isn't to create separate communities that talk about and post whatever they want, it's to crate a subsection for specific topics, so that the image board as a whole is more organized.

>>10065626
I personally believe the content that is not /jp/-specific, but also not immediately specific to another board to be okay, e.g. original characters, make-a-touhou, meido and such. Things like fanart of an anime are a bit iffy to me.

Moreover, the majority of the drawings and work in this thread ARE /jp/-related. There's maybe four things that aren't.

>>10065603
Call him sage.

>>10065221
Shit sucks, normalfag, sorry.

>>10065599
Don't you love how that reflects on the board's population?

>>10065921
I'm aware. Can you give me advice on how to improve it?

>>10065953
Why can't I scroll up with my mouse wheel to see previous text? Why can't I just click anywhere on the screen to advance text? Why can't open menu in the middle of the text going? Please make the whatever your doing more intuitive to use. You've played a visual novel before, right? Choose an engine and try to emulate it. Add in some features that you feel would mesh well with your story, and story telling.

You could also learn to write better, and improve your shitty placeholder graphics. As well, get some sound going. As far as it stands, this is a terrible project, and I've wasted my time looking over it. Put some genuine effort it; it looks very lazy.

>>10066031
Thank you for your brutal honesty. This is what I came here for and I agree with everything you said.

>>10066110
;_;

I don't think it was that bad for a beginning project but I didn't enjoy it because I didn't feel like the writing was authentic. Are you a NEET or hikki, or have you been in the past? There is no real anxiety when you describe wanting to leave the room to get food, it's more of a "what the heck, I'm kind of lazy" attitude. It would feel more authentic if it were the same kind of attitude that meant that you couldn't even leave your bed to get onto the computer, or get from the computer chair to the door. I regularly skip eating for a day just because I'm too lazy to get anything. I'm currently in bed typing to you now which is unlike the setup you've described in your writing and drawings. It feels like you haven't really gone into the mentality of the character you want to write.

>>10066143
I'm no hikki, but I can certainly relate. I didn't want to get too in-depth with the social anxiety at the beginning so I could keep his condition a bit more vague and talk about that stuff more in the meat of the story. Also, he's not a full-blown hikikomori, although later in one of the routes he does have a serious phase.

>>10066235
If you have plan beyond what you just showed, make a tree diagram and show us. Don't let it just be a nebulous idea in your head; if you actually want to do this, a good plan of what you want to accomplish is a solid starting point.

>>10066241
I have some basic notes for the story and routes but they're indecipherable to anyone but me at the moment, not to mention full of shit ideas. I'll put together a diagram soon.

I'm going to bed now but if anyone wants to give me some more feedback, go ahead and I'll come back/read the archive when I wake up. I'll post again some time after I've made some progress. Thanks again gents.

>>10066143
>>10066235
>>10066313
How the hell do you expect someone to write about that kind of thing when they never experienced it? This guy goes to college for fuck sake, he's far from being NEET and even farther from being a hikki. Of course it will suck, because it's written by someone that doesn't understand about the subject and never experienced it.

And stop posting pictures in here if they aren't OC.

>>10066356
Joseph Conrad wrote a convincing terrorist in the Secret Agent. You don't need to have firsthand experience if you can put in the effort, and insight into understanding what you want to write. Mind you, I am not saying he'd be anything approaching that gifted writer, but that it can be done.

I bet it will suck anyways, but that's because he'd attempt to tell story that he wants to tell instead of the story his characters would, or that he'd halfass it, and quit partway through.

>>10065221

Delicious meaty nipples. check the neckthing though; it ignores completely perspective.

>>10073617

>>10073617

Looks nice

I actually drew this one a couple days ago. I got the chance to color it in too. If anyone would be interested in seeing it, I'll post it.

>>10073617
Good work.

>>10073695
Looks cute. If you could post the colored version it would be great.

>>10073711
This is the colored version of it. One of my buddies asked for it. Since he's got a shit ton more PhotoShop experience than I do. So he added the shading. Some of the shading, I could do without, but the majority of it looks nice. In my opinion.

>>10073736
I really hate to be a bully, but it looks a lot better without color.

>>10073746
I generally tend to stay away from colors, and that's the reason why. I'm not all too good with them. I just decided it'd be a nice break from black-white all the time. So I tried my best.

>>10073736
Looks like you watercolored it.

>>10073796
my knowledge of photoshop is pretty basic. So I didn't do anything fancy. Just color it in, and try my best with the shades. Though, like I said, I gave it to a friend of mine and he did the heavier shading. I've still got the version of it that I did, before giving it to him.

>>10073695
great job, King of Shu!

>>10051134
Oh god, my heart.

Not directly /jp/ related, but oh well.
I'm always a sucker for red capes. ;; Kinda have the impression that her face proportions are sorta wonky.

>>10073816
I liked it better without the color.

In fact, i'd suspect it would look even better if you stayed with physical medium for coloring.

>>10074272
Not to sound like a complete retard or anything, but what do you mean by "physical medium for coloring"? Also, I wouldn't mind any tips on improving my meh-tier drawing ability.

>>10074298
I think he means using real coloring tools like painbrushes, pencils, crayons and stuff like that instead of using software.

>>10074298
>what do you mean by "physical medium for coloring"?
I'm sorry, but I can't stop laughing. You know people color things without using computers, right?

>>10074317
I think it's less that he didn't know that, and more that he wasn't sure what he was implying by "physical medium for coloring". He could have just said "analog" or "traditional media", and it would have probably come across a lot more easily.

>>10074326
I'm just being snarky. Ignore me.

>>10074316
Ah, thank ya. I'm not sure if I'd be any better doing that, in comparison to doing it on the computer.

>>10074317
HOLY SHIT! Some person doesn't know one little thing you know. Plus English is too cut up to understand correctly half of the time.

>>10074298
Yeah sorry, by physical medium I meant colored pencils, ink, paints, whatever. As for tips, I can't really give any. Sorry.

>>10074326
I would have said traditional medium but that might have implied something like charcoals or some old method of inking.

Analog sounds funny to me when not referring to machinery.

>>10073695
>>10073736
Leave the pencil line in. I think it looks nicer.

>>10074421
It does look more charming like this.

>>10074421
>>10073695
I like it better uncolored, the color version has bad choices, too saturated.

>>10074503
Personally, I prefer the colored version. I actually like them being so saturated like that. Gives it a sort of poppy feeling and makes it seem more full of life.

>>10074421
aahh, wow. I need to look into tutorials for fancy photoshop methods. I don't think I could make anything half as good as what you did here.

>>10074505
Add a new layer with the pencil version, set it to "multiply", you now have lines on top of the colors.

>>10074507
Well, I'm kind of a newbie with coloring. So I'm not all too good with picking colors out. I just try my best to match them to the original character design's colors. Then I work off of what I've got there. Kinda eyeing the shades of colors that I'm using.

>>10074518
Also, thank you for telling me how to do that specific technique.

>>10073736

Your problem isn't color, it's values. I went in and desaturated your image, and it looked like one grey blob.

I messed around and tweaked the values of your image to make it look more like it should be. I don't know what Remilia's palette is.

When you color, make sure that the values of color are distinct from eachother, so that even in black and white you can tell what colors they are supposed to be whether it's dark or it's light. Your coloring can be shitty to be honest, but even just a 3 minute value tweak makes the image look pretty good.

>>10074579
Despite this version having better values, the saturated version is much better in my opinion. It has a charm that's lost when you tweak it like this. There's probably a middle ground somewhere...

>>10074640

Well, if I had access to color layers, I'd have been able to do the values from the beginning, but I agree.

I would suggest that the artist go on youtube and look at videos on learning values, there are tons of great tips and it will be an immediate improvement on your work, and it bridges nicely into color theory. You shouldn't learn color theory without first learning values.

>>10074579
It's stuff, like this, that I should look into tutorials for. No offense, but I did like >>10074421's version of it just a little more. I still appreciate what you did, and how you made it look though. It's still very pretty, and it helps me learn different methods of things I should do to improve my skills.

>>10074640
There's no pleasing everyone. It's just for opinion's sake. Though, it's not a bad thing that these people are revising my poor photoshop skills. I actually see all of this as a learning experience.

Also, to everyone that is giving their personal tweaks on my drawing, thank you for taking the time to teach a newbie some of your methods.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4uE-C8WyfQ

Values are 80% of your image

>>10074667
Ah, yes. I shall do this. After getting something else drawn, scanned, and colored, I'll have to post in another one of these threads.

>>10073813

The coloration is pretty nice, but the face looks pretty much the same as the other picture of you I saw.

>>10073813
This is quite lovely. I like the difference in 'polish' between the face and the rest of the figure - between that and the colours, it draws focus nicely. For some reason I do feel like the image needs to be elongated vertically, but that could just be personal preference.

DON'T CALL ME "CRAZY"!!!!!!!!!!!

Its been a very long while, /jp/. Hug me, I'm home.

>>10076939
After you post a proper picture of your drawing, maybe.

>>10076939
Welcome back, Lantern(?).

>>10076947
Unfortunately, I'm unable to procure a printer at the moment. Or a tablet. Or a proper computer. This will do for now.

>>10076962
Oh hey. Someone remembers me.

>>10076975
I'd hug her.

>>10076975
2Dangerous, wud not huq.

>>10076975
I think the eyes could be better, not so simple like that. I believe it would improve the picture a lot. Still good work.

>>10076975
Welcome back to HELL dude.

The lack of details on the umbrella is just sad.

stretch that fucking canvas and give her legs a dynamic position. I bet it will improve 20000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%.

>>10084618
Does it even matter?

>>10084663
No, I asked the question because it didn't matter at all, obviously.

>>10084675
It's funny because it actually doesn't really matter.

>>10084721
Then why ask whether or not it mattered in the first place, ya idiot.

>>10084754
Just because someone asks something, doesn't mean it matters.

>>10084790
So, pretty much, you asked for no reason. Just to prove that nothing either of the posts said mattered. Nice proving you did there. Genius.

>>10084797
Well, I achieved my objective so I'm quite satisfied, yes.

I made a sword. It's from an autismal grinding game, so that's pretty /jp/ related, right?

I'd like to submit a request for as many 2hu characters as one would please to put into a single picture dressed as Lum from Urusei Yatsura.

Pick your favorites, whoever you are. There can't be enough tiger-stripe bikinis for me.

>>10084890
Welcome to, /jp/, Lum requester. Getting desperate yet?

>>10084897
Huh? Are there other Lum requesters on this very popular western-culture-centric website?

>>10084871
You didn't make a sword.

You made a sword-shaped prop.

Until you forge or at least cut out and grind the steel and heat-treat it properly, you don't get to call it a sword.

>>10084980
gomenasai, ken-sama

I assure you I will fold the nihon steel one thousand times when I forge my next sword.

>>10084980
So wooden bokken aren't swords? Shinai aren't swords?

>>10085010
Shinai aren't, bokken are.

Too bad the sword his prop is based on is neither of those.

>>10085026
It doesn't need to be. If we follow what you said before, then bokken wouldn't swords...because they aren't forged, made of steel, or heat-treated.

>>10084790
it obviously matters to him. just because you're a turboautist who doesn't care for stuff doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't either.

>>10085046
>turboautist
Irrelevant post.

>>10081975
This made me laugh waaaay more than it should've.

>>10083644
I like the head - the face and hair are tasty and the pink pupils are cute. The swipe of blue reflection on the hair doesn't really jive with me though, maybe if it was a little smaller or something?

I actually think the pose doesn't need to be any more dynamic, it fits the mood as it is. Something about it feels a bit torqued, but I'm not a good enough artist to put my finger on what it is (might be the folds on the dress, they don't seem to follow the curve of her body) so I probably shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place.

The material on the doesn't really bring a clear texture to mind (are they vinyl? silk?) but their form seems nice to me.

I mean, it's clear that this is just a relatively polished practice piece, so I realize you're probably well aware of most of these flaws but have chosen to move on... I just had nothing better to do.

As an aside: I like when you put shapes in the eyes. You've got the stars and hearts, I think you should complete the Lucky Charms set. I want to see a girl with horseshoes in her eyes.

How do I learn how to draw? Am I too old to start now? I'm probably not but I still have no clue how to do it. I know my dad can draw pretty well and I wonder where he learnt it but I don't want to ask him how to draw cute anime characters.

>>10086678
Usually practicing by drawing helps. By usually I mean always.

>>10086690
Do you just try to copy something over and over until it looks nice?

>>10086714
No.

Dear god, this kind of thing is always asked in these threads. Is it really THAT hard for people to figure out such simple answers?

I'm back and I'm surprised this is still alive.

A couple of hours in SAI. I'm thinking of a blue themed man to go along with her. Any ideas?

>>10087125
Should be a man in light blue armor.

>>10086678
>Am I too old to start now?

Depends.
Do you still have breath in your body? If yes, the answer is "no".

Get to it

>>10087150
I look up that tutorial wiki or whatever site on /ic/ yesterday but it flooded me with (useless) information/didn't help me at all.

>>10087125
Someone give that girl a sandwich.

>>10087156

What kind of useless information?

If you're starting by zero, you should look up basic things like shape and depth. Train your hand, focus on hand position and wrist. Then proceed to practice straight and fluid lines. After that with anatomy and proportions and then colors. Of course you could do this in an entirely different order but that's what I think it's essential.

The most important thing is to not give up, you probably won't see results in years even if you practice every day. A lot of people drop art because they want to do masterpieces from the moment they start.

I've drawn line art for the first time of my life, but I don't have a tablet. I have a scanner and a computer. Anyone know any tutorials I can use for coloring/improving the lines it with free programs? I don't want to pay for photoshop.

>>10087186
>I don't want to pay for photoshop.
Yeah well, there are ways around that.

>>10087156
You could look through past OC threads for tips. This question gets asked a lot.

>>10087189
Even if I did pirate it, I don't know how to use it either.

>>10087200

You're truly lazy. You don't know how to use it but neither are willing to learn. How do you expect to get through art?

Anyways, Paint Tool SAI is relatively free and much lighter than PS. Try it.

>>10087469
dubs get off /jp/ please
and stop drawing porn it doesn't look good

>>10087469
omg, at least spoiler it

>>10087469
QUALITY as fuck, please learn to draw bodies before wasting time coloring them.

>>10087469
Is this what the fabled IKEA sex looks like? Shit's all over the place, anon.

Thinking of making a spiritual sequel to New Super Marisa Land in the form of a Super Mario 64 clone, featuring lots of PC-98 characters.

Thoughts?

>>10087583
I like it.

>>10087639
Thank you.

Plot bullshit: during a summer festival a giant black hole (or something) opens up and swallows Gensokyo. Marisa is rescued by Yumemi, who reveals that Gensokyo was pulled into her world.

As it turns out, both the laws of physics and magic work very differently there, and the scattered Gensokyo has been twisted and warped by the strange forces at work there. In addition, many of Gensokyo's denizens have been twisted into deranged monsters and are terrorizing the people of Yumemi's world.

Yumemi makes a deal with Marisa that if she takes care of the rampaging Gensokians and gathers the concentrated orbs of magic that have been created, she'll find a way to send Gensokyo back to where it belongs. But can Marisa survive this bizarre dimension without her magical skills?

>>10084126
Sorry, it was just a WIP, really.

>>10084668
It was originally like that, but I cropped it.

>>10084618
An OC gift for another artist.

>>10086488
I'll try to keep those things in mind next time...this was just a test really. I have a hard time conveying form and shape without the use of lines, so I tried to force myself to make something, anything without lineart.

>>10038770
>>10038950
I agree with you, but I still want to keep trying to make decent NSFW, too.

>>10087469
Have you considered learning how to draw before drawing porn?

I made another of these. I think I've improved, but I want to do the face differently. It's pretty awful.

Pitchin' some powerup ideas, tell me what you think.

FAT MARISA: Can squash any enemy that gets under you, and roll around at high speed when necessary.

CHO MARISA: Can break special barriers and use high damage attacks.

SUPER MARISA: Bodacious. Can run fast and charm humanoid enemies.

YUKKURISA: Bouncy, can't pick up things or squash enemies because she's tiny. Can rally other yukkuris to overtake enemies. Might be used in pinball levels

Now, do you think it'd be a good idea to use forms based on existing stuff, or should I take a bit more creative freedom? I don't want it to look like I've taken both ZUN and Tasofro's work and run with it, those guys deserve respect.

>>10088108
Shit, a sewbro? Looks good, but yeah work on your embroidery. Otherwise it's awesome.

>>10088108
10/10
That grin always makes me smile, good job.

>>10088114
Oh, if sewing is a thing, then I guess I may as well post this too.

to go with >>10084871, naturally

>>10088108
I would so buy this doll. In fact, I hope you're still sewing in ten or so years because I might like to commission you to make an army of sarcastic stuffed toys for my future kid to teach them that life isn't the rainbow enema that My Little Pony would have you believe.

>>10088180
Oooooh, nice skirt. Did you use a pattern?

>>10088180
Oh, dressing up as Laharl?

>>10088251
Is he really man enough to go shirtless?!

>>10088240
Wait those are shorts

>>10088240
Oh, it's actually a pair of shorts, though I did make the bottoms of the legs probably too large.

I drafted the pattern myself, started with a guide for a generic pair of shorts then adapted the pockets and bottom, then added belt loops.

I have made skirts before, and probably the next thing I'll be sewing will be Youmu's skirt, so close enough, haha.

>>10088251
Indeed. Here's the cape, hanging in my closet. (come to think of it, I have no idea whose cane that is)

>>10088256
W-well, I did it often enough back when I went swimming somewhat regularly...

>>10088264
I think it's more a scarf than a cape, but that's besides the point. How the hell did you get them to stay stiff like that? Wires?

A, and if it's not too much... Can we get some cute pictures too?

>>10088264
Mah nigga. Cosplaying a good character. I respect that. It's looking pretty sweet as is, cool.

>>10051090
This guy again.

Having fun with new bullet patterns.
And being unable to beat them.

>>10088269
True... I guess it's kind of a scarf-cape thing?
The one he has in Disgaea 1 looks more like a cape, but I guess it gets more scarf-like in 2 which is the one I based it off of, so you're right.

Pictures of the full thing, oh gosh... When I've posted full cosplays before, /jp/ got mad at me... but hopefully it's alright. Here's this, then... the scarf was a little off-center, one of the antennas was falling off, and you can't see the shoes (which honestly is for the better, they were pretty bad), but it's from a camera a lot nicer than my phone's camera, so that's good.

>>10088286
Be wary of safe spots. Without knowing the boss's movement pattern there I can't say for sure, but that looks like something that could easily have a huge safe spot to it. I guess if you made it so the boss stayed higher than and more or less above the player then it'd be fine.

>>10088308
Okay, gotta say, the antennae do not look too good. Everything else looks pretty great though.

>>10088308
What material do you make your props out of? I'd really like to make a spear or something too, maybe a gauntlet... It's really good! Although a really tall Laharl too, do you have an Etna to pair with? Flonne?... Prinny?

>>10088315
To see someone in a Prinny costume would be priceless.

>>10088308

>not making a giant Yoshitsuna for your cosplay

>>10088313
Yeah, I was planning to cover the metal with a long wig weft, but ran out of time and didn't have the experience or know-how to do it well so I just went with the painted sheet metal. It was kinda acceptable though, one person even told me it works better than doing it with wigstuff since it's cleaner.

>>10088315
Mostly wood for the weapons. The handle is a steel rod drilled most of the way into the base of the sword, but the rest is just poplar. (I'm thinking of doing Ephraim at some point, that spear will be a wood shaft, turned wood end, and probably the point will be insulation foam covered with bondo.)

Bracers were just craft foam.

I didn't really have anyone to go with, though I did find a fallen angel Flonne, that was pretty neat. The picture of us two turned out pretty blurry though...

>>10088341
Let's see it anyway. Flonne is best Disgaea. The OTP must be shown.

>>10088346
Alrighty. You can see a shoe in this one but you can't tell how bad it is because of the blur, so that works, haha.

>>10088353
Very cute!

>>10088353
That's actually pretty cute, she didn't do a bad job. And it's good to know she wasn't a landwhale.

>>10088308
>you made it so the boss stayed higher than and more or less above the player then it'd be fine.
Good idea.

Why does cosplay look so cute, but when a person actually wears it it is repulsive and ugly ?

I...went for a little more realism.

Did it turn out well?

>>10087692
Sounds like shit.

Any tip for drawing with mouse?

Total beginner here. Recently started by straighten my lines and drawing random things from photos.

Do not post images that aren't made by yourself.

>>10088269

I like the fact that people are posting something other than images or music, but cosplay belongs to >>>/cgl/

Shut the fuck up.

Reminds me of those awfully funny Japanese art with samurais.

Still trying to enforce this little rule of yours?

No, YOU shut the fuck up, faggot.

Alright.

You wish. Still trying to enforce your habit of reaction images?

>>10090013
Shut the fuck up.

>>10090018
I ask you the same.

>>10090013
Where do you think we are?

>>10090022
I'm not spoonfeeding you, faggot.

>>10090000
>>10090018
This is the OC/Drawthread. Posting images you haven't created yourself is discouraged because it may confuse someone, it wastes everyone's time and it's most likely going to just be a reaction image anyway. Unless you're deliberately disturbing the thread, there's no point in posting them.

>>10089283
>teach me how to socialize with con people
In order to teach, one must know.
Sorry...

>>10089987
I like the fact that people are posting something other than NEET culture, but drawings belong to /ic/ and music belongs to /mu/

>>10090117
You are an idiot.

>>10089940
No.
That's a bad attempt at realism.
Learn to draw real humans if you want realism.

>>10088108
I fucking Love that face and that curly hair.

>>10087873
Well you fixed one of the things, and I think it polished up pretty decent, all in all.

>I have a hard time conveying form and shape without the use of lines
Interesting. I feel the opposite way.

>>10088286
Slightly udated graphics thanks to an anon.

>>10092686
Looks promising. Would pirate

>>10088108
Still needs clothes. Also what did you use to color in the face? Markers wouldn't work for me, so I used fabric, but a stencil and thick paint would have probably worked too.

>>10093027
It's actually just a lot of thread. I didn't really know anything about embroidery though, so it's pretty sloppy. Sewing the eyes on probably worked better than paint would.

What are you going to use for the clothes? I used a cheap felt for my first couple attempts, but then switched to a cheap cotton. It takes more work, but looks a lot better.

>>10093361
