Yubi's Hootenanny (Art Thread)

[Mikero]

Now normally I'd just ignore such a post, but what's working for you exactly Sano?

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Uh... I don't really understand the question.

[ASR]

That was a good enough answer.

[Yubi Shines]

Forgot to post this from a while ago. Character designs of Autem Mort, an ex-paladin who's much much too nice for her own good. Takes some doing so I don't write her as Pollyanna, but it's worth it.

[Johncarllos]

Prince Peach still looks like a chick.

[Yubi Shines]

Whatever he's got in his pants, he's still fluffy-haired royalty in pink with a parasol and needs to be rescued.

I'm trying to draw Maria and Luigia, but it's just not happening. Augh.

[ASR]

Luigette sounds less like a Pokemon.

[Mikero]

It'd be odd without mustaches. You can make them sideburns girls though. I've seen such women. Unfortunately.

[Yubi Shines]

A girl I was talking to about this idea suggested giving them chocolate milk 'staches, which is awesome. I don't know if she's going to be drawing that or not, so I don't want to yoink that idea.

[Mikero]

It would be better if they had chocolate milk in the Mushroom Kingdom. Or milk. Or cows.

You'd be amazed at how brittle the bones of the general Mushroom Kingdom populace is. I've always wanted to ask Princess Plum why the Lactose Republic doesn't ship to Mushroom Kingdom, but we keep making out so much I forget to ask.

[ASR]

Princess Plum has the herpes.

[Mikero]

You're thinking of Princess Bum. Understandable mistake for anyone who hasn't SEEN Princess Bum.

[ASR]

Ohdeargod.


...where is the bottom half of Princess Plumdaisy?

[Mikero]

On my...

Just censored, that's all you needs ta know.

Anyway the first time I ever saw Daisy in anything she was called Princess Plum. Still don't get it. Unless she's Daisy Plum, like Peach Toadstool.

[Johncarllos]

PlumBum?
Like, lead?

[Abominator]

When was she ever Princess Plum?

[Mikero]

I don't get it either, but that's who she was in something. There was a Plum in Mario Golf 64 but she was pretty different.

Here's the fifth thread image for Drow Love, with the cast cosplaying as Chrono Trigger.



This made my head hurt. Especially Arinae (LOL NO CHAINS + WHITE DRESS) and Autem (LOL FUR BIKINI).

Although I'm delighted I managed to draw a girl showing that much skin without making it fanservice.

I hope.

[Mikero]

You showed her bikini wax. It is thus fanservice as far as internet freakoes are concerned.

[preventerWIND]

Did somebody just cast awesome?! : V

Thats great Yubi, just great!

[Mikero]

Awesome lvl. 2 with +3 boots of wicked, I think.

[Johncarllos]

I stared at that image for a good long while.

I think it's because I like it.

In recent Tegaki stuff, I drew Tirade from the sketch I did a while ago, as well as Star for the first time in a while.

[Johncarllos]

That is really good, but it looks like you forgot about shading about half way down her body, even though there's still glare.

You win at arts.

[Yubi Shines]

Yeah, the shading is very cursory. I'm just confused about shading Megaman armor, it seems more like dull plastic than metal.

In recent news...

LOL DRAMA LOL REALISM
lol

Helga Hall
Errr... this needs explaining.

So there's this big thing about "groups" on Tegaki, sort of like LiveJournal communities except it's not something coded into the site. On the surface it's about making up characters based on a theme and then roleplaying; in practise, it's thirteen year old girls making application posts with names like VANAIAOEM AURORA ALIAS KEYMASTER and then endlessly introducing characters to each other.

I mostly ignore them but I found this one called Asylum the other day. It sets itself up as a realistic setting in a mental institute ("NO ELVES AND SUPERPOWERS") with serious diseases. What actually happened was literally fifty applications with shaggy-haired doe-eyed anorexics with insomnia and paranoia and BPD, the last of which translates into "rampant promiscuity." Who get to dye their hair and have cats and wear miniskirts. And have X-Men codenames.

It would be funny if it wasn't insulting.

Also, the moderator's character has a Joker smile and yard long hair, and he mopes about whining about why they called him different.

Realism.

Yes.

Realistic.

I haven't been up to much. Have a super fast drawing of Medusa I just did.

[Johncarllos]

That's super fast?

I like the erasing work.

[Yubi Shines]

It's fast since it's just shading with scribbles and I'm not drawing a full person or even proper shoulders.

I think I wanna colour this though.

EDIT: There we go:

[Johncarllos]

I like the black and white better, it's focus is more on the face, where colored it's focus is the glasses and hair it seems.

[Mikero]

Mm, John's not wrong but I like both for those reasons.

[Abominator]

Yep, much better in BW.

[ChaosVortex]

I'd prefer the color bit a tad, but that's because of the hair. The rest of it is better in B&W.

[preventerWIND]

Hair would look much better if it were bleachy.

[Yubi Shines]

I think y'all are right -- black and white was better. Eh. I still want to figure out a way to add colour somehow. Give it a comic book feel, somewhat.

Lessee... what's new...

I drew a naked chick. It's pretty worksafe. No nipply bits. Still tackling things like anatomy.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=293622

I'm not sure at all how to draw satyrs. I definitely know the legs aren't balanced right. It doesn't look like the body has weight.
http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=18912&e=293967

I made a really terrible parody roleplay group that makes fun of other Tegaki roleplay groups. Currently there's a fad for anime academy things, with all the awful anime tropes you can imagine.

So I made a katana swordchick and a magical girl and a goth raver unicorn furry sorceress.

Guess which one made me want to kill myself the most?

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Magical Girl?

[Chron]

#3.
That's my guess because just reading it made me want to kill myself, let alone the image.
How did you bring yourself to draw that?

The naked chick seems alright in proportion. Sort of hard to tell in that pose, but that's probably the most worksafe pose I can think of.

The Satyr's middle leg-joint is too long (the horizontal part), and the upper body is disproportionate from the lower. I can't see anything else wrong with it.

[Mikero]

OK ok ok ok I like all the arts, but I'm also posting just to say that those "Grrrrawwh" comments with that bear-thing by this Valeryce person made me laugh.

[Yubi Shines]

OH MY GOD. BEAR-KUN IS SO AMAZING.

Valeryce makes the awesomest characters. She has a DnD character called Kate the Manslayer. All you need to know about her is that she hates men and likes hunting boars. At the epilogue of her DnD plotline, she had a son named Amanda that she feeds raw meat in the hope he'll grow up strong.

So badass.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

So... Who won the Yubi's Suicidal Tendencies award?

[Mikero]

The unicorn.

That. Is. SO. Badass.

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Nah, the Unicorn is too obvious.

[Chron]

On the other hand, you'd have to be a total idiot to ignore the surely painful creation of such a monstrosity.

[Yubi Shines]

Chron got it. I drew the unicorn raver more or less on a dare, and I don't really mind magical girls very much.

Still hurts to make myself draw in the typical/bad anime style, though.

[Mikero]

Nah, the Unicorn is too obvious.

Not every girl that talks is trying to trick you!
Just most of them!

[Captain Sanoguchi]

Every girl that talks is trying to trick you!
All of them!

[Yubi Shines]

Here, have a doodle of a character that doesn't make me spit up blood.

[Chron]

Great job. That character has cool hair.

[ASR]

I like it. A lot. A lot.

[preventerWIND]

Wow, very cool stuff.

[White Shadow]

Been long enough, I had about 2 pages of things to look at. Good stuff, Yubi. You've become pretty good.

Now I wish I could get into art swings again.

[Yubi Shines]

Dinah Hunter
Tegaki just introduced opacity control. It's handy, but I'm trying not to overuse it, since part of the awesome of the site is the limitedness.

Also, just stumbled on this.
http://tegehel.deviantart.com/art/meduSA-Industries-31479006

Uh... oops. I swear I've never seen that before.
Should I change my Medusa design now? I just can't see her as anything but blonde... Maybe I'll just change the red.
