2009-08-10 [moira hawthorne]: I rarely ever draw 'all the way' *porn* yaoi hetro or yuri... I more often draw the bit just before...

here is the original.. I cropped it to show the part of most proud of and showcase the painting technique

'Birthday Fireworks'
C'serio and Aodh
getting it on with a kiss/lust so passionate they made firworks! <3 all done!

2009-08-10 [Goma]: dunno if it looks quite right but this is my first picture to color by hand in ages >.<

2009-08-10 [moira hawthorne]: looks alright to me
what did you use to colour it?

2009-08-10 [Goma]: colored pencils,went over it all with a white one to smooth it out and I shaded with charcoal.

2009-08-10 [moira hawthorne]: if you you want to improve on this... get some workable fixative and add to highlights and shadows... use warm and cool colours... makes some core shadows... and reflective light and remember use complimentary colours

2009-08-10 [Goma]: honestly I was just giving my charcoals a whirl and decided to give it some color I have the uncolored version too xD Thanks for the advise by the way

2009-08-10 [Goma]: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Omizard/Scratch/styluscloseupuncolored.png

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: you can get coloured conte.. they are more like charcoals and so blend with them better... than you can use the fixative.. and add colour crayons to bring more deepth and highlight to the image/colours

2009-08-11 [~Spirit Fox~]: His hair *Goma's pic* reminds me of Kumori's hair. *Kumori is one of my characters.* but Kumori's is mostly white. ^.^

2009-08-11 [Goma]: xD I need to get back to practicing though >.< I'm currently working on girls because everyone thinks I'm gay when there aren't girls in my picks >.<

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: I know some gay guys who draw only girls... Im Bi and I draw most men...

2009-08-11 [Goma]: well I need some girl characters anyway I mean look at that group shot and not a single girl xD

2009-08-11 [Chishio]: meow

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: thats a valid point... they also all mostly look alike

2009-08-11 [Goma]: two or three of them are actually clones o_o anyway I got a girl done but I kinda fudged it up

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: call her Elean

2009-08-11 [Goma]: you oughta see the last time I tried to draw a girl it was NOT pretty >.<

2009-08-11 [Goma]: and How come Elean?

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: sorry Eileen

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: b/c she is leaning

2009-08-11 [moira hawthorne]: and if you want a more fantasy sounding variation go with the gealic original Eibhlín

2009-08-11 [Goma]: ahh xD

2009-08-12 [~Crimson Angel~]: What'd I miss?

2009-08-12 [~Spirit Fox~]: aparently a lot XD Oh and is it still okay to switch an entry. *I just got off my butt and drew something...actually 8 things, for the 1st time in like.....one or two months. ^.^'*

2009-08-12 [moira hawthorne]: its usually fine to switch your entry up until the contest closes

2009-08-12 [~Spirit Fox~]: 1st contest so I figured I should ask.

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: ok guys if i were to change one of my entries, which one should I change?

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: XD I'm basically doing the same thing!

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: I say Yuki, I like the Shigure one. ^.^

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: *contimplates* im so indecisive. I have a kickass entry to put it too.

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: Maybe you should wait untill another conest, I think that's what I'm going to do. ^.^

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: but-but- i hate having two drawings from the same anime. people can be quite biased if they do or don't know a character. So i wanted to add a charie that everyone should no but some may not and either way it is still really good. Lmao. maybe i will change the Yuki one.

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: Kenny! *<333333 Fav. from Bleach.*

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: heeheehee yes yes. He is AMAZING! My fave of ALLLLLLLLLLLL time is Toshiro Hitsugaya. Hence my name. *wide eyes* omg im an idiot! *scrounges through drawings*

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: Now your going to put up Toshiro aren't you?

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: *dances around* clickie for a bigger look at it. ^.^

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: Oh yeah 2 points for getting it right! Whoot!

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: You can tell he's your fav., he's drawn so well. ^.^

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: hahahaha thanks. He is like my secret lover. im so unbelievable obsessed with his it's pathetic. Most people don't know when he decided to become a shinigami but I DO! heeheehee

2009-08-13 [~Spirit Fox~]: Kurama and Kuronue from YYh are my all time fav.s and they always will be. *But the username spirit fox came from my character Kieta *the one Zel Holt drew and put up here. ^.^**

2009-08-13 [~Crimson Angel~]: Toshi-chan, how did Toshiro become a soul reaper?

2009-08-13 [Blood Sucking Beauty]: Haha well Toshiro became a soul reaper because, one day he was shopping for his grandmother and Rangiku saw him. She noticed his spirtual pressure and saw how amazingly strong it was. She managed to run into him and confront him but Toshiro had know idea what she was talking about. Than when he realized it, he took Rangiku's advice and tried out to be a soul reaper. Ironically enough, he became captain and Rangiku as his vice. ^.^ there is alot more involved in it but it would take FOREVER and I don't remember all of the details.

2009-08-13 [The Dizzy Raven]: wow the new stuff is pretty good ^^

2009-08-13 [~Crimson Angel~]: Yes, yes it is. Thanks Toshi-chan!

2009-08-16 [~Spirit Fox~]: That's about the same thing I heard. ^.^

2009-08-17 [The Dizzy Raven]: YAY!!! APRIL JOINED IN!!! *hugs*

2009-08-20 [~Crimson Angel~]: Why do you think that, voting hasn't even started.

2009-08-20 [Yami]: i just have a feeling, maybe I should take mine down...

2009-08-20 [~Crimson Angel~]: Or you can put up another one.

2009-08-20 [Yami]: My art isn't that great

2009-08-20 [~Crimson Angel~]: I think it is.

2009-08-20 [Yami]: I just doubt I'll win

2009-08-20 [~Crimson Angel~]: Don't doubt yourself!

2009-08-20 [moira hawthorne]: Yami put up a newer piece! she made me several images of my faery Aodh...

Aodh meets Kohaku, the Succubus I just created

2009-08-20 [Dezmond]: hell yami, you're art is really good, I like it alot! there's no reason to withdraw, you're just as qualified if not more so than every artist up there

2009-08-20 [~Spirit Fox~]: It's pretty. ^.^

2009-08-20 [Yami]: There, I put it up, though I don't feel it's fair since Aohd is yours Moira

2009-08-20 [moira hawthorne]: its still your art... C'serio isnt my OC... he is a friend's... tho the art is all mine

2009-08-22 [The Dizzy Raven]: lol Good job, Phoenix!! ^_^

2009-08-23 [~Crimson Angel~]: I think it's from starwars.

2009-08-23 [Duke Devlin]: For reference my DeviantArt is here: http://duke-devlin.deviantart.com :)

2009-08-23 [Duke Devlin]: OMFG Len! You've entered too! ^_______^ <3 I need to do my other entry for this... It's going to be a new piece. :)

2009-08-23 [~Spirit Fox~]: I like her outfit! *even though pink's my least fav. It's pretty.*

2009-08-23 [moira hawthorne]: yah... id perfer red and black... but very cute

2009-08-23 [*Phoenix*]: Thanks, Angel!!!

2009-08-23 [*Phoenix*]: If you want to know more about #9, he's General Grievous from Star Wars #3: Revenge of the Sith. He's a robot leader with four arms. He's actually a really cool bad guy! :D

Google it if you want more!

2009-08-23 [*Phoenix*]: [Duke Devlin], That's really cool, but her back arm looks like jello. Reminds me of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban when Lockhart removes Harry's bones. hehe...I love the outfit though!

I really like [Galatea]'s but it would be REALLY cool with a background! Great job to both of you! *claps*

2009-08-24 [~Crimson Angel~]: I like your entry Duke, I think it looks cool, but looking at it after reading [*Phoenix*]'s comment she's right it does look kinda like jello.

2009-08-24 [Chishio]: we're getting lots of people ^^

2009-08-27 [~Crimson Angel~]: Your welcome.

2009-08-27 [*Phoenix*]: :D

2009-09-11 [~Crimson Angel~]: The theme has changed since someone pointed out that you all have been putting up drawings of people the theme is now People, and half-humans like InuYasha is.

2009-09-11 [moira hawthorne]: so we change our art if it doesnt fix this new theme?

2009-09-12 [~Crimson Angel~]: Well your doll was an elf wasn't it?

2009-09-12 [moira hawthorne]: Faery actually... not human... tho he is people... but when you said half humans like InuYasha... I JUST hadta put up Tuski-neko

2009-09-12 [~Crimson Angel~]: Oh, that's fine.

2009-09-12 [moira hawthorne]: btw... I didnt read anything about artist nudity... Tsuki is mildly offended that I fig leafed him...

2009-09-13 [~Crimson Angel~]: lol it's funny though.

2009-09-16 [~Spirit Fox~]: .< *falls face 1st into ground* Glad I lived...

2009-09-18 [~Crimson Angel~]: You ok Spirit fox?

2009-09-20 [Aliz]: lmao XD
My dog's big, but I'm too hyper... so it weighs up XD

2009-09-22 [~Spirit Fox~]: XD that sounds like my house. Kiki's really energetic when she gets going.

2009-09-22 [Aliz]: My dog's really energetic all the time X____X
If I don't give him attention, he will start chewing on me DX

2009-09-23 [~Crimson Angel~]: Nice entries Aliz, they're really good.

2009-09-23 [Yami]: Last time I was in a contest two people who didn't follow the theme, AND did really badly on their art won first and second place, I didn't even make it to third...

2009-09-23 [~Spirit Fox~]: this is my 1st contest. I entered out because i was bored, but may enter another.

2009-09-23 [Yami]: I doubt I will enter any more ever again...

2009-09-23 [~Spirit Fox~]: Really? Even if this one goes well?

2009-09-23 [moira hawthorne]: Yami you need a hug... or a spank... or a muffin... or some other inspiration feel good... I prefer to hand out beats till morale improves... but some people just dont seem to appreciate them... at first

2009-09-23 [moira hawthorne]: *sings* AND AN ORANGE!

2009-09-23 [~Spirit Fox~]: I like oranges! XDDDD *should have got them when I was at the store....-.- Oh well I fixed my writer's block, so I'm happy. ^.^*

2009-09-24 [moira hawthorne]: lovely day to be lazy

2009-09-24 [Aliz]: Candy mountain? :D

2009-09-25 [Goma]:
I haven't been around at all but here is my latest art >.<

2009-09-25 [moira hawthorne]: I have a feeling you were more interest in designing his outfit than his pose... his arm isnt really attached correctly...

2009-09-25 [Goma]: its attached fine...a bit off yes but not really notably so..

2009-09-25 [moira hawthorne]: not noticeably so... would imply I hadnt noticed... which Im sure you can see that I did.

2009-09-25 [Goma]: I'm saying its not a big deal,its not that far off.

2009-09-25 [~Crimson Angel~]: I didn't notice, which arm is it?

2009-09-25 [Duke Devlin]: Moira, I think that was a little harsh, and unnecessary. Yes, there may be something slightly off, but not enough that it would warrant you accusing him of not taking care in the drawing of the pose. Please apologise to Goma, he displayed his art here freely, but that does not mean you are free to critique it in such a way. Constructive criticism would have been appropriate, instead of just stating problems, as you have done. Also, he said 'notably', not 'noticably'. The two words have different meaning.

2009-09-25 [~Spirit Fox~]: XD I think that Goma and Moira just like fighting ^.^

2009-09-25 [moira hawthorne]: actually im not fighting.. and it was Constructive criticism...
yes 'notably', not 'noticeably' are different words... but 1. I assumed that 'notably' was a typo... since it doesn't make as much sense... 2ndly the same advice applies... it is still note worthy... as I did... I pointed it out so he could correct it... IF his goal wasnt just to draw a 'garb design'... there fore its Constructive criticism... NONonstructive criticism would be YOU SUCK I HATE YOUR ART STOP DRAWING... which i never do.

2009-09-25 [moira hawthorne]: and [Duke Devlin] when someone else said your drawing's arm was noddley... you didnt demand an apology.. or say they were being too harsh... so who is being unfair to whom?

2009-09-25 [Goma]: I doesn't matter >.< I mean really I'm not fighting just saying its not a big deal. I don't need an apology though I thank you for caring about my feelings xD

2009-09-25 [~Spirit Fox~]: ^.^ Kyu....soooooo Amebara, did you decide if you were moving the date closer?

2009-09-26 [~Crimson Angel~]: I guess I could if this is all the entries.

2009-09-26 [moira hawthorne]: for [Goma] arm unattached

2009-09-26 [Yami]: That looks more like a screen shot from a video game

2009-09-26 [moira hawthorne]: IT IS... (I really thought that was obvious enough that I didnt have to state so... its a NPC from wow) computers sprite/game toons arent very good examples of correct anatomy b/c they/the game makers have to generate all the info for an online multi player game - but it is a good example of how Goma's character's arm is placed along side his character's body rather than connecting with muscle and bone INTO the body

2009-09-26 [Duke Devlin]: I was merely saying that you could have said it in a friendlier manner. Often you come across quite aggressive, and I was trying to help you with that. And when did someone say something about my drawing's arm? I honestly don't remember. XD

2009-09-27 [~Crimson Angel~]: Moira your leaf guy has a limp noodle. *giggles*

2009-09-27 [Duke Devlin]: Haha nice :P
Hmm... I need to do another entry,.

2009-09-27 [~Crimson Angel~]: Sounds cool, what are you going to do?

2009-09-27 [Duke Devlin]: Not sure yet, I reckon the profile of a face, or something/. :) Or an angel...

2009-09-27 [~Crimson Angel~]: I like angels.

2009-09-27 [moira hawthorne]:

to [Duke Devlin]

I really dont care/mind really if you think I said it too harsh... I dont care if people dont want to improve their art... I dont care if my critique isnt apprectated... it doesnt bother me in any way...

if I offer a constructive critique its b/c I care.

2009-08-23 [*Phoenix*]: [Duke Devlin], That's really cool, but her back arm looks like jello. Reminds me of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban when Lockhart removes Harry's bones. hehe...I love the outfit though!

2009-08-24 [~Crimson Angel~]: I like your entry Duke, I think it looks cool, but looking at it after reading [*Phoenix*]'s comment she's right it does look kinda like jello.

@ [~Crimson Angel~]
Tsuki? yes indeed... why you think I covered it up!?!? lol... (not really the reason) ...but limp its artistic nudity... and not well its more... he and I prefer it not but I was being 'socially acceptable' when I painted him... humm or not... its a character pose of him... he isnt really 'fakely' modest.. he would walk by you nakkid on his way to the kitchen to get a sandwich without batting an eye...

2009-09-27 [Duke Devlin]: Me too. :) I prefer demons, but Angels certainly have their place. :D
Whut?

2009-09-27 [Duke Devlin]: Oh right, I really don't remember that. XD But see, they said it in a friendly way. You kinda just accused him of only trying on the outfit. =/

2009-09-27 [Duke Devlin]: I'll work on fixing it this week. :)
