My stuff

[pokemonfan13]

My friend Falcon is such an awesome artist! Once for his b-day I gave him some GOOD art supplies. When I met him he was drawing in a regular lined notebook with a normal #2 pencil. I gave him a proper art book, and art pencils, and art colored pencils. He draws his OWN charries! ;D I should ask him to show me some of his drawings sometime. I haven't seen any of his in forever... And I am SOOOO lucky that he showed me a comic, Mega Tokyo, where they do a good bit of l33t, so I am able to figure out what you guys are talking about! He can read the stuff as if is was regular English!

-hums a stupid song-

Magnamon, number two in the list of your drawings that I think look REALLY cool and spiffy.

Read the stuff as in l33t writing? How? Oh yeah, that l33t guy Largo saved. Reading what he said can teach anyone about reading l33t... I wonder if there's anyone who can really speak l33t... I need to figure out a few things first before I can continue sketching up Michael-ikkou and Stamifrah again, for example hairstyles, the way hair is drawn, ear sizes, creases and stuff like that. If I'm pumped up I might even put up fillers featuring them in USC.

I can read some l33t but not all of it. If you ask me it's an annoying language some n00b made because they thought it looked cool. Like sticky caps and such.

[negrek]

I can only read some 1337 because I read "Megatokyo" after a friend loaned it to me. I can read it well enough to get your user title, though, Shin...

[aloraskye]

What is his user title anywhoo?

[Shinjiriko]

It's ultra-leet for Elite Pokemon Master. I'm thinking of changing it for a better slash more meaningful one though.

Actually, l33t-speak was for some people to keep their passwords safer. There's info of it in Wikipedia.

[DBZGTPokeDigiStar17]

Ohhh, now I see!=D I was always wondering what your title was, Shinji.X)

[Shinjiriko]

Yeah... I changed it so it shouldn't be all that confusing. If I get hardworking later I'll try finding a Japanese version, unless you can find me one. =3

No more artwork?

[Kakyoku]

I can read l33t a little, I've been trying to learn to confuse my sister with it. It's working. =D Rain, your artwork is WAY better than mine. >.< Must work harder on drawing from now on. *goes off to practice*

[Shinjiriko]

It's confusing me too... -pokes your title-

Here're some sites that are good to look at if you want to learn on how to make your characters look better. I can't help you on backgrounds, sorry. The last one is recovering from moving to a different site, so there's only a head tutorial for now. Well, and some others.

Well, the sites did help me on my drawings, but I still need to improve more. Must work harder. What do you think of this picture?



Please tell me if it's horrible.. I'm gonna enter it in a art contest at school, but if it's not that good, I might not enter it.. The drawings have to be either anime or manga pictures, (What's the difference when it's drawn, I'm not sure..) so lots of anime/manga lovers are happy about that, including me. I might come in second or third from my grade level, not that many people are good artists at my school, but one of my friends is entering too, and she's really good at drawing. =) Good thing is, there isn't a limit on how many artwork you can enter, so I'm entering about five, and so are my friends.

[DBZGTPokeDigiStar17]

Horrible? Kookie, I think it's so cute!^_^ I absolutely LOVE the eye, and Quilava's fire is good too! The only thing I have to say is that his body should be a little more rounder then straight like that. But I REALLY love it Kookie!^_^

As for my work, I do have some other drawings, but I can't put any up right now due to me having to get off soon and not having time.^^

[Shinjiriko]

Uhh... Anime more chip and happy, manga more dark and depressing? =P

As for the Quilava... -squeal- Really cute! ^_^ Try refining it a bit more before you enter, it should come out atleast fourth IMHO.

[Kakyoku]

No wonder I like manga more most of the time..

Thankou both for your complements! =D I'll try and improve it they way you suggested, Rain. I was trying to get the same pose it has on the guidebook for Pokemon Collosian(sp?), and of course, since it's 3D, it has sharp angles. >.< I tend to make my pictures have sharp corners sometimes if I'm not paying close enough attention.. Shin, you didn't ever finish your fanfic, did you... Surprising how I can remember small stuff, but I forget all the important stuff, ne? *evil grin* I'm thinking of bugging you until you get another chapter out.. I'm only bugging you about it since I think it can turn out to be a really good fanfiction.. If it wasn't, I wouldn't even bother. And there's the fact it's fun to annoy you. I'd say mostly because of the latter reason than the first, though.

[Shinjiriko]

Ehh... Which fanfic? =P I forgot already. Plus I'm more keen on continuing USC and let it move along in an orderly fashion before I'll be continuing anything at all... Anyway, good luck on that contest thingy.

Edit: Ooh... There's a chance the comic will be renamed to TOUSC, "The Other Unnamed Sprite Comic". I searched the title up on Google and found two comics with similiar names. Kinda. One was discontinued after some flaming (only 5 pages too, so I'm not the worst out there) and the other... Ehh... Kinda looks like its on a hiatus. I'll need to make sure I continue the comic on the school holidays... And yay! USC is on Google! ^0^ Only after you search "Unnamed Sprite Comic" (exact words, with the marks) though, but still.
