I thought I could show off my drawings and other art-related stuff here, too...
As a little info, I'm pretty much a self-taught artist and I've been drawing more or less actively since the late 2003.
One could say that I specialise in drawing male humanoid characters and my main focus is on my original characters and I have around 120 of them at the moment.
I work on both traditional and digital media but most of the time my artworks are a combination of both; sketching and inking done traditionally, coloring digitally (with a mouse, dammit!).
But here we go...

My OC (original character) Ryuu Hosokawa who is a FTM. :P
He's pre-everything in this one.

Same guy, Ryuu. This time on T and post-op.
The kanji reads as "otoko" and it means "man" when speaking of genders.

A conceptual sketch for my online friend. Done with a pencil.
Also my first attempt with more traditional Japanese style...

Art trade with another online friend. :P
I seriously have zero experience when it comes to drawing horses and I think it's quite obvious.

I had a bored moment one day and I decided to make a wallpaper of the movie Prometheus.

Little photography!
The sky actually looked like that one day and it reminded of the transgender pride flag. ;D
I only upped the saturation a bit because my lousy camera killed the colors.
Wow, you're very good. :D Liking all this.
Love your work!

P.S. your people drawings have real pathos.
Thanks, Trixie and MadelineB. ;D
I try to get some more stuff here, too. If I can manage to draw something that's "safe for work", that is...
Now you know my dark secret, oh noes!Quote from: MadelineB on February 16, 2013, 03:56:13 PM
P.S. your people drawings have real pathos.
This surprises me. In a positive way.
I think my own emotions and feelings tend to seep through especially when I draw Ryuu (well duh, he's a FTM).
But it's really nice to hear my drawings are actually appealing that way, too. :D
wicked nice tossu-sama! I like your hands, I really suck at drawing/painting hands.

Thanks. ;D
My tip for drawing hands is not to hide them by drawing in the pockets, behind the back etc.
I basically stopped doing that and thus forced myself to draw hands in all kinds of positions. Can't say they're perfect but at least I practice a lot. :D
And references. Some tend to stomp those who use references but I really recommend that.
If nothing else, use your own hands! ;)
I would post some of my latest stuff here but since they're a bit... inapproriate I won't.
Digging through my Tumblr or y!Gallery (registering there required) will pay off, though.
Well, I finally managed to draw something that's not NSFW.
But it's something that shows off what I like to draw the most and what I think I draw the best.
...Men with nice set of muscles, that is.

My OC, Scotty Cheng.
He's a triad member and one violent mofo. Likes to pick fights and kick some ass. ;D
Wow, very nice! I'm so horrible at drawing muscles, y'know ::)
Great work, keep it up!
Hehe, thanks. ;D
My tip for learning to draw muscles is to use references and possibly exaggerate them first. Like drawing bodybuilders, it really helps to get the hold of how the muscles go and it can be adapted to smaller guys. :D
Something new from me that isn't NSFW... Unlike the last one. Must've been the dirtiest one person pic I've ever drawn!

He's my latest character, too.
Cobalt is just his artist name, he's a Korean male idol. :P
But his hair's base color is exactly the shade of cobalt blue!
//EDIT:
To avoid double-posting, here's some pencil stuff from me.

My OC Javier Benavidez.
He's scarred up like that because of a grenade. He's also missing both of his legs knee down. :P
awesome, nice work..
Your 'conceptual sketch' of the one eyed japanese style is freakin awesome! :D I love it! The detail is fantastic!

One good reason why I leave some stuff to the pencil sketch stage is that inking makes them lose details.
And my pencil sketches seem to be more... flowing. Y'know, they got more movement. Then I can't get it into inked works at all, agh.
Anywho.
I did my first Skyrim character.
(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F24.media.tumblr.com%2F0718f6f54a92a8f867d4abe09de3bb48%2Ftumblr_mp0wbnI4pL1sv1x94o1_1280.jpg&hash=530669cacba734dce4e938cf8b70ad41af27a079)
Larzuk Beast-Breaker, a knight/tank Orc with full Dragonplate Armor and Dragonbone Sword.
Currently at level 49 or 50, can't remember. All Werewolf perks open.Characters like this are the reason why my 0.05 pens are slowly dying... THE BODY HAIR.
I'm also working on my second Skyrim character and so far, it's been a real pain in the backside.

WORK IN PROGRESS.
I seriously have almost zero experience when drawing anthro animal characters...
Not to talk about coloring them digitally.
Just getting the flat colors that way took me several hours.
Add the fact that I use mouse for coloring.
Shamelessly bumping my own thread. 8I
But I did a centaur!

Also my newest character called Pyry Ukonpoika.
Supposedly based on a trotter type Finnhorse.
Made me realize that horses are pretty fun to draw... Centaurs and A4-papers just don't mix very well. You know, limited space.
Nice work. :) It looks like it would be fun to be a centaur.
I am jealous you can draw really good. My favourite has to be the Khajiit. I would like to see you draw a Argonian :P

My third Skyrim character, Tulon-Het.
Level 50 mage with Destruction and Alteration at level 100. ;D
I imagine him to be a bit pudgy despite of running around Skyrim. Guess he likes sweetrolls and some ale while doing research in the Arcanaeum! :D

Woot, my crappy clothing design skills aren't so bad after all! :D
I seriously have the worst sense of color combinations so I end up mishmashing everything. XD
Bottom halves didn't fit on the paper. :P And I had to make something dA-friendly, too. :'D

I assume i also saw you, thankfully with clothes on ::)
Maybe you'll work on some more pictures like Lawrence John, with bloody clothes (or armour) :D
It doesn't seem wrong mismatching colours, but that's just me.
Yeeeeeah... When I say my art tends to get mature, I really mean it. :'D
I really should remember to warn people better about it. XD
I'll end up drawing L.J. in the future surely, I just need solid inspiration to get anything started. :D
And I have some doodles to finish and they're definetly NSFW. *hides in a pepsi can*
Whatever floats your boat, i guess.
Have you not thought about doung armour? I think they will look better xD
I think people should assume themsleves. Warnings not really need, lol.
NSFW? :/ - i would Google but my batteries about to die :X
I managed to look it up. Not safe for work xD i actually mispelt and found 'Not for showing wife' :p
If I did some of my Skyrim characters with something to wear, I'd have to draw armor. Nothing less than Dragonplate and Daedric armor for my Orcs. x_x
Armors are just generally very complicated and difficult to draw, especially when I'm doing the lineart. Can't really do any mistakes there anymore, pens aren't eraseable. :P
I guess some NSFW stuff qualifies as something "not for showing wife". xD

It's one character from the anime/manga called Shingeki no Kyojin, or Attack on Titan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Titan).
Well, one character in a bit more badass mode. 8) He's human but for some reason he's able to transform into a 15m (~50ft) titan. |D

So is that what Attack on Titan is? I saw some poster and I think it was suppose to be a fan made movie poster or something, it was called Attack on Titan, and that guy was in the background

^ Yeah, the first picture is the cover of the first manga volume and the second is a fanmade liveaction movie poster, totally not official. :P
And that skinless titan is called the Colossal Titan because it's ****ing 50m (164ft) tall. o_o
It's really worth watching and it won't be even that long, just 25 episodes and there's 19 episodes out at the moment.
New episode is up every Saturday or Sunday - depends on where you live, in my case it's early Sunday - and it can be watched in animefreak.tv, for example.
...And I'll stop before I get too crazy about this again. xD It's just a damn great series!

Something weird and totally unwanted happened to the outlines when I resized this... AGH.
About the background...
It's a modified image from Public Domain Images (http://www.public-domain-image.com/).
Because I otherwise suck at backgrounds so I cheat like this. |D
I am not sure what the weird outlines are. The pictures great. He's just missing is back - Oh, wait, probably inappropriate, right? ::)
The outlines are all choppy and almost pixelized. @_@ But that's Gimp's fault, it likes to muck up stuff.
And it's harshly cropped because a standard A4 sized paper and centaurs don't really mix well... :P Would be easier if I did everything from the start digitally but no drawing tablet no chance.

And I bet you have no clue who he's supposed to be, here's a normal version (http://tossu-sama.deviantart.com/art/Your-good-sir-307327413) kinda old and horribad though.
Ahahaha... I'm neck-deep in the SnK fandom.
A clear sign of it is the fact that I draw fanart.

Yes, I actually drew him as AN ADULT MAN instead of a pubescent teenage boy like Eren.
Deal with it.
Damn, your art style is awesome! :D
I've been drawing since around the same time you have. I used to draw with my mouse, too, which was a pain in the ass. I think I read that it's like drawing with a soap bar, which yeah, it kind of is. :P
Anyways, great work! Can't wait to see more!

Hehe, thanks. ;D
I already got some new art coming up but it's gonna end up only in my y!Gallery and Tumblr because nudity, oops. |D
I don't exactly draw with a mouse (even I'm not that crazy!), I just use it for coloring. :D I sometimes think even a soap bar would be better... But then I remember the times when I didn't have an optic laser mouse... Damn.
Hey-ho, I drew my fiancé's character because I couldn't decide which one of my 130+ characters to use. |D

He be Landon Yeung and he's a triad member. He's part of the same storyline/setting as my character Scotty Cheng (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,135810.msg1134189.html#msg1134189).
All in all, I haven't really been in a good drawing mood for a while...
I hate it.
O HAI.
Been drawing some new stuff.

I drew my centaur OCs being cute.
And yes, they're both male/men/guys/dudes. Whatever you call centaur genders. @_@

Fun fact: Cobalt is a Korean male idol but doesn't really look like one.
He knows and also likes it.
He also knows he's got some big guns and he likes to flaunt them. :B
...He's fun to draw.

Aaaaand I sometimes do conceptual sketches, too.
These are for a HUGE scifi RP setting I'm working on with my Polish online friend.
I somehow ended up being responsible for the uniform apperances among certain other things, agh.
You can clearly see from the last one that I started to get fed up with all the uniforms. xD
Looking good man! :)
Oh, I like the way you draw muscles a lot! And I also like Attack on Titan, though I'm more a fan of the manga than the anime.
Regarding your comment about inking removing the detail. Man, I know that feeling. What are you using to ink with? I've found if I use something that lets me vary my line width like a brush or a quill it helps with that.

I prefer the manga these days, too. I read it after I had watched the anime but the animation work and the soundtrack
OH GOD THE SOUNDTRACK makes it worth while. ;)
As for what I use for inking, I mainly use Staedtler pigment liners in sizes 0.05 and 0.1. For bigger sizes, I still have Pigma Micron pens left. Those are some amazing pens, they almost literally flow on the paper.
It's just really frustrating sometimes when even the 0.05 pen isn't enough small. @_@ But it's really juggling between two different sized pens, sometimes even three to get my lineart done.
And as final words I issue a warning:
There'll be more big muscles. 8I
They're too much fun to draw.
Wow, those are small pens. I've used microns that size in the past but I always split the nib after a couple of drawings. I guess I'm too heavy handed for them.
And yeah the soundtrack in Attack on Titan is really good, and the art in general in the anime is better than the manga. I'm the sort of person who cares more about the story than anything though.
Haha, I've split few nibs myself on 0.1s. :D The only problem with the 0.05 for is that the nib sinks in and eventually there's no point to draw with. Really delicate stuff those ones.
Yeah, the drawing style of Isayama is... rather interesting. It's not as refined as what I've usually seen in manga. Very sketchy and he sometimes seriously seems to flip the finger at anatomy. xD But yeah, story is important for me, too. I wouldn't have kept watching or reading that series if it wasn't interesting in the first place.
I did notice the soundtrack works while reading the manga as well. I was reading the Rogue Titan vs. Female Titan in the city part and had the soundtrack playing at the same time. Damn, it made the reading experience intense. xD
Not really drawings but art nonetheless?

A collab with my fiancé! She did the lineart and I colored it. :D
They're both our original characters and in our minds they're a synonym for anything cute, even if they're both over 6ft tall muscular guys... It just works. >3>
I must also recommend that you check out my fiancé's deviantART (http://mirrrva.deviantart.com). She has totally different drawing style than me but I guess that's what makes things interesting. ;D
A little sneak peek and some improvement comparison...

Ahahaha... yeah.
I suppose it's quite clear which one is the older one. Yeah, it's from 2011. I was really THAT bad.
A fine proof it took me quite a while to get to the point where I am with muscles these days...
I also made some updates in the character design as well.
Oh yeah, he's a naga. Half man, half snake. Quite obviously the snake half is the bottom part. |D
Looking good mate! :)
Wow, that's a huge improvement for, what, two years? And it's not just the musculature, the newer one has much better line quality and the figure seems more three dimensional and solid over all.
Thanks. :)
I think one reason behind the bad line quality was the setting I used for scanning. It made the lines very clear but also very choppy and pixelated. And I used that because it was easier to paintbucket areas with color. I seriously thought that was a good way to color something. @_@ Idiot...
Plus I used just one sized pen to ink stuff. Not a good idea. |D
I also had a love affair with Photoshop's layer properties.
I think a lot of people do that early on.
I actually still use the paint bucket a fair amount in my coloring process, mostly for speed, I just use it on another layer so I avoid those jaggy edges.
I can understand the speed factor. I wouldn't mind coming up a faster way to get flat colors done but I suppose it's a bit no can do situation with my current equipment. Oh well, at least I get to kill some time. |D
Aaaand I got the naga dude done!
Turned out slightly better than I anticipated. c:

...Let's just say I forgot to draw some clothes on him.
It clearly wasn't my intention to draw him half-naked. <innocent whistling>
Wow, you can really draw dem muscles!
And I want to comment on the wonderful improvement from the piece you had shown with your old art. It's great to see artists grow and learn.

And it's really good to see the improvement myself sometimes, too, being such a self-critical personality. Makes me realize I actually can draw. :D

And what else would it be if not my signature speciality.
UGH.
I had an epic four-month partial block thanks to Gimp completely effing up one artwork and making me lose interest in even trying to do any art but now I finally got my groove back and have managed to color couple pieces!
So I thought I'd share the more finished looking one, and I'm also extremely pleased with it, too. :D

His name is Delirium Indigo and... well, let's just say he doesn't really fit into the regular sex categories. :P
In his original concept he was actually genderless but I reduxed him a bit and now he's something in-between. :B But he still sees himself as a male no matter what so he's a he. xD

So, I drew my orc-self. It... seems to be pretty common thing among certain artsy circles to have one.
Besides, a man can dream, I wouldn't mind having body like that. |D
All the piercings are legit, btw. I have them IRL, too. And right now, pedo stache is the only thing I can manage. :'D
I was actually debating whether or not to add my surgery scars but I opted not to, it's not anyone's business anyhow.
Although nothing's stopping me from adding them for pieces that I'm not going to put up anywhere.
Oh wow, it's been almost year since I last put anything up here for show. Time to remedy that, I suppose.
Now that I have actually managed to get something done that isn't completely NSFW.

This is what happens when I get all nerdy and start messing around with Gimp.
Nerdy in a sense that I translated Miraak's mantra (http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Miraak's_Mantra) from Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC into the dragon language and then wrote it down with the dovah font.

I don't feel confident at all anymore because the last time I did fanart I got chewed out for stuff that I thought was somewhat realistic and whatnot. >_>
