Any dude with that voice would be one sad guy.

*cough*Durg*cough*

Durg doesn't count because I'm still not convinced on his gender.

So, I've back my ass out of anime almost completely now. It's not that I don't enjoy the fandom and all, it's just I don't enjoy drawing it anymore. It's become bland to me and it's plastered all over the place now (Seriously, no offense to anyone that draws anime on here.) I'm ready now to move towards a realistic stance and really start trying to be the best I can in terms of art.

I still have a lot of kinks to work out, but this is one of the sketches I did last night:



I've got a lot more sketches from over the last two weeks, might post up later today or tomorrow.
I plan to at least do one sketch a day and post it up here. I won't have very many "Finished" works put up at once, since they take a lot longer to do...since, I'm actually trying now to make something amazing rather than something hastily photoshopped.

Tell me your thoughts on the sketch, please!

Love you all
Shoi-cakes

hey SHOI

SHOI

I LOVE THAT YOU ARE MOVING AWAY FROM ANIME AS A STYLE
it's a point that all people who start out on that happy jappy stuff must come to if they truly want to excel
i am glad you have reached it

i am not a good art critique
but good luck on the road of life

Wow long time no see! I can understand what you mean, I guess manga/anime gets a bit identical unless you start giving it a slight different look. However when you do that, then it is no longer true anime/manga styling. Anyway, the sketch looks pretty decent. The head/face area have a very realistic look. The torso area looks pretty good, since you are still working on it. You got to work on the proper location of the muscles on the legs, I know you will cover them eventually. Besides that, you are doing a really good job with it! I'm sure the finished pic will look really good!

Thanks Grey!
Also, I love your sig. I would post the drawing I did for Sonichu but uh, kinda not appropriate for here.

@Ipsalsaman: Seriously! I've not seen you in forever D:

Thanks for the input! I've just recently been working on the leg muscles, it's truly amazing to see how detailed they are! I've had a little bit of trouble with them because of that, BUT! I found an excellent diagram of the legs so it should be all good now (I hope anyways! )

Yeah, I have been gone a while now. Well I post here and there and I check on you guys, but I think my profile here in snafu maybe having issues. Sometimes I don't get any replies back to me, although I have it checked out. Oh well

Anyway, that is cool you got some references! It is always helpful and use as refs other comic pics as well. Keep it up man!

I'll post my ref here actually. It might help others:

Awesome new style Shoi bro! Looking really, really cool. I'd still call it a bit comicy, even though it's more realistic, though. But it's aweeeesome.

Yeah, I'd like to keep some what of a comic look but not too much. I really want to improve on this! Thanks for the comment

Also, yay Vegedus! I've missed you.

Cool refs! As to contacting Dave, no I haven't. It's ok, I won't bother him on small stuff. Again bro keep it going, you are doing awesome!

salsa, there is a thread in the snafu forum to voice complaints or errors concerning the forum itself
talk to them
they might help but they're all a bit dumb to be honest

Thanks Grey, but it is okay. Plus, I really don't want to deal with no dumb ass/smart ass anyway.

Good to see ya updatin', Shoi. Although that's unfinished, it still looks amazing. I like the new style, btw.

Agreed!

Bad quality since it's from my sketchbook (Didn't want to tear it out yet XD) The girl on the right is one you'll be seeing a lot of. I need to do a sketch of her outfit and fix it up some more:



If you notice, I never finish the left eye until I'm satisfied with the work. I dunno why I do it, just always been a weird quirk of mine.

Waughles, I need to fix my my dwarf too.
I owe Zega art. Bare with me, I'll get that up soon too. I also got commissioned to do a tattoo sleeve so you'll be seeing stuff from that as well.
So much to do!

Her boobs look a little off, but otherwise it's all cool.:D

This is really good, I think what Deena meant is the right boob on the girl with the clothing. Overall they are really good sketches!

Those are awesome, though I'm no good at realism, so it just makes them more awesome.
