Who is Valxun? Some new pokemon?

DELICIOUS POISON · 06-03-2008, 10:13 PM

Sounds more like an STD.

Margarie Margarita · 06-03-2008, 10:25 PM

Both cards are looking great, Ace! I LOVE your art style! <3

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-12-2008, 02:47 PM

Guess which member this EX version this is of. You can cheat by checking the filename, Kargath.

(larger, largest)

I can barely dress myself, so "drawing" the goth look is hard. I combined my experience with Touhou (especially Renko Usami and Reimu Hakurei) and The World Ends With You. And then I added skulls, belts, and then things got a bit fuzzy, and I woke up in a ditch.

Rolls-Royce Man · 06-12-2008, 02:57 PM

can i be a tarot?

....Well, dang. Other than "Strength" and "The World". None of the cards left really fit me.

Unless someone wants to shove into "Death" <_>

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-12-2008, 03:15 PM

There are only twenty-two Major Arcana, and yeah, looks like any of the remainder fit you well. =\

Incidentally, there are seven cards to-be-drawn, six of which I don't have a person pinned to them. Those six cards are Strength, Wheel of Fortune, Death/Rebirth, The Devil, Judgement, and The World.

Rolls-Royce Man · 06-12-2008, 03:34 PM

Oh well, I'll ask you to draw something for me later.

With Points.

Jigsaw · 06-13-2008, 01:42 AM

If you allow me to pick a card (any card), I'd love to be Judgement. I'm not high and mighty or anything, but I feel as though that befits me slightly. I'm highly, highly critical.

*I'm Galefore, by the way

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 06-13-2008, 05:14 AM

OHHHH I LOVE THAT PICTURE, ACE!!!!! *hugs you and leaves you marshmallows* May I please add it to my Wall of Fame?

DELICIOUS POISON · 06-13-2008, 09:19 AM

Badassed, Ace. Actually starting to look more like her than the usual pictures. HotD is her own evil twin. You spent a lot of time on that one, and it really shows. No flaws.

Sarai and Samiel · 06-13-2008, 06:07 PM

Gotta hate how those ditches sneak up on you.

You continue improving and I am heartily impressed. You've done an excellent job on this one, particularly considering the number of neet little details on things (tie clip!). There is one thing, though-

You've drawn the Hjotster with some rather short legs. A guideline I like to use is that the distance from the middle of the shoulder to mid-hip should be the same as the distance from mid-hip to the top of the knee- and even with that, I tend to draw torsos slightly long, curiously enough. Lower legs, naturally, should be the same length from the bottom of the knee to the top of the ankle.

I must also mention that I love the wings, which remind me of the wing-covers of a beetle in only the best way.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-13-2008, 07:04 PM

@Heroine: Of course. ^.^()

@Miss Sarai: That is a nice complement sandwich. Nom nom nom.

Seriously, though, I was sort of getting that vibe when I was drawing it - if you check the screencast, I extend the length at least once, and then set up that head-proportion scale to double check. I'll keep this in mind in the future.

The wings were inspired by another Touhou character (ref). If you're curious, here's also references for Renko and Reimu.
(Careful if you're checking out the links - there are not-safe-for-work pics on the site; none on the linked pages, of course).

DELICIOUS POISON · 06-14-2008, 01:00 AM

I had just assumed she was meant to be short/young. People come in all sizes.

Margarie Margarita · 06-14-2008, 09:53 AM

That is GORGEOUS, Ace.

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-24-2008, 03:23 PM

Hey guys. Been working on a Saria EX pic. You can see the screencast here:

I've been playing with the colours for a while and I was wondering what you guys think is a good colour scheme. I have a couple of sample pictures here:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...a-ex-test2.jpg

Let me know what you think. I still need to finalize the colours, add a background, fix up some details, and maybe add some wings.

[edit: I also have some reference pictures:

Draw me with a rocket launcher

what software are you using to do those pictures?

Margarie Margarita · 06-24-2008, 11:27 PM

Going with ML on this one.

Swiffer Sweeper Vac · 06-25-2008, 12:14 AM

Hey Ace, can I be a Tarot?
If so, then it doesn't matter which one,just whichever one you think fits my personality.
If you want then I can give you 1000 pts.

All the pictures look amazing.

^^
I think he is still using Photoshop CS.
