SharPhoe I'm interested in your characters. I realize its purely a stylistic thing but what exactly are your characters? Kirby-like beings?SharPhoe said:It's an illustration for a short story I'm currently writing. I'll be doing one for every chapter.
They don't have a definitive title yet, for the time being I've called them Kerricks (as in "Caricatures"). With the exception of two characters, their overall designs are original.Fightgarr said:SharPhoe I'm interested in your characters.

Well done on the rain effects by the way.
"Kerricks" makes me think of Kerrek from Peasant's Quest.SharPhoe said:They don't have a definitive title yet, for the time being I've called them Kerricks (as in "Caricatures").
I know, I know. I desperately need to change it so that people don't make that connection. I'm open to any suggestions.Fightgarr said:"Kerricks" makes me think of Kerrek from Peasant's Quest.SharPhoe said:They don't have a definitive title yet, for the time being I've called them Kerricks (as in "Caricatures").
One of the greatest adventure-like games ever to not come out on any system.
Upload the images to something like Photobucket and use their "Direct Link" between IMG tags.VTSK said:Hmmm. I'm not quite sure how to upload images, but I'll try.
This is a character I've been working on for quite some time.
This is just a doodle.
Shit. Okay, need help, either that or it just isn't loading in my browser.
Well, it took a while, but I finally got it to work. Thanks for the help.Labyrinth said:Upload the images to something like Photobucket and use their "Direct Link" between IMG tags.VTSK said:Hmmm. I'm not quite sure how to upload images, but I'll try.

Thanks for inspiring me to post these here StarPhoe.SharPhoe said:Umm... looks like it's been a while since anyone posted anything in here last, since VTSK went and opened a new thread. We should probably get this ball rolling again, shouldn't we?
Yes, SharPhoe, you are StarPhoe, and you always have been...SharPhoe said:Oh, I'm StarPhoe now, eh, Pi?
Kidding, of course.
It's no biggie. I actually considered changing to StarPhoe for quite some time. My name currently stands for SharinganPhoenix, but since I no longer watch/read Naruto, I was gonna change it to StarPhoe, short for StarchaserPhoenix. But my avatar's name is Shari, so I decided I'd keep it anyway.Pi_Fighter said:Yes, SharPhoe, you are StarPhoe, and you always have been...
Gaah! The world is collapsing!
I can't trust my own perceptions!
The end is nigh!
Well, no. Seriously I have been misreading your username for quite a while.
Your work is alright. You have potential, you can outline and shade, which is some basic art. You also seem to understand directions, which is why most people cant 'draw'. Shading is one of the easiest aspects of art, dramatic lighitng works everytime. You do good human bodies but your heads, faces, and features are horrible. You ignore them competely and focus on the bodys detail, which is really only shading and outlining. If your good at pencil, try color pencil. You cant keep the same frame of mind when using color pencil vs pencil. Art is like anyting else, you need to pratice pratice pratice and alwasy try new things.Labyrinth said:Okay, so with the Pictures thread running off the hook, I've decided to put up one for shameless egoism.
Feel free to post links or images of your artwork here. Literary works are also welcome.
(Note: for large images or stories put them in spoiler format please.)
So here are a few of mine:

Thanks for the critique. Those sketches were done quite a while ago, my faces have improved since then. I can show you if you'd like.AnGeL.SLayer said:Your work is alright.
