Volvox's art

[Volvox]

I'll be posting my artwork here for everyone to see and comment. I hope you like it

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Quite nifty. Though there is one thing I would like to point out. The handle should not have bark on it because looking at the rest of the knife you can clearly tell that it isn't round. And if you were to shave a piece of wood like that down to the shape of a knife handle it would be free of bark.

 

[Volvox]

Probably... Anyway, here's another drawing.

 

[General Frank]

~ Name changed on request.

 

[Volvox]

A mushroom i made for a friend, her nick is Gljivica(mushroom in Croatian).

 

[Eccho]

Nice, those are looking great

 

[Volvox]

Here comes another one for Revellion's map about a war between humans and the naga. It's supposed to be a loading screen and this is still a wip. The map name should be added in the top left corner.

 

[Eccho]

oo... looks nice, I like that "blurriness". It reminds me of when you draw with pastell crayons

 

[Volvox]

I think i screwed up with the craquelure a bit but i have the sketch so i won't bother correcting this one.
An item form the Jakei campaign series which i am working on(check my sig):

Edit: Just a wall i did out of boredom.
Edit: My first attempt to make a tree.

 

[LiOneSS]

love that last tree. gj
+rep!

 

[~Void~]

Needs moar shading.

 

[Kimbo]

Stick to drawing on black backgrounds as it improves the overall figure's/object's colour appeal.

 

[Volvox]

It's kinda hard to draw something on the black background with a pencil but i guess i could cut it in photoshop. Here are some new things i made on boring classes. I drew tree during a maths exam and the sword on Croatian while we were processing Poe's poems(the raven, i think). The last one is one of my many failed attempts to draw something colored. I did stick to one color dough ^^. Because i drew it on a very large paper, it didn't fit into the scanner completely.

 

[Volvox]

bump+ a new drawing.

 

[Nudl9]

I'd say its too presice for an old shield, else its pretty cool and realistic looking.
Keep up the good works!

Hope you can make something else then just objects aswell.

 

[Volvox]

Ungh... I am working on it. I can do some landscapes though i suck at clouds. As for living things, it depends form try to try but most of them fail.

 

[Nudl9]

Well a tip if your drawing something living start with a thin weak round circle.
Then decide if its going to be the head or some part of the body.
Then after start drawing a stick man kinda, this is going to be the bone structure and a simple drawing of whatever hes going to do.

This way its easy for planning whatever the thing is going to do and fixing proportions so it doesnt look up.

When ur finished u can start drawing over.

 

[Volvox]

My first humanoid drawing which actually looks like one! I made this after observing one of ike_ike's drawings(i'd like to thank him btw).

 

[Nudl9]

Looks very nice.
Btw whats up with ur coloring? it gathers into these splats kinda..?

 

[Volvox]

Cutout filter, thought it would look nicer than just opacity brush.

 

[Squiggy]

The stripes on the left side of the face - could you make them thinner?
It'd look seriously cool

 

[Volvox]

I like them fat

 

[Squiggy]

I'd rape you anyways - no matter if they're fat or slim - but I can't rape at the moment..

 

[Volvox]

Me can't rape you either, too much good drawings ^^ Anyway, rapeing's not the point here Do you have some useful advices on how to draw noses? I suck at noses.

 

[Squiggy]

Uh well - mostly my noses are just little points or small bows as the pictures are almost everytime like close-ups
If I even draw a nose, it's mostly pointy at it's peak.
Second, it's small.
Well what else to say - would you like some pictures of the different nose-creator stages? xD

 

[Volvox]

In case you have them, hell yeah

 

[Volvox]

*bump* And some new shit from the PA. Mostly ugly concept stuff

 

[Eccho]

Heh, it reminds me of SG or SC, but maybe that would not be the thought? Errm in fact anything with spaceships and extraterrestrials would remind me of those... And maybe StarWars.

 

[Volvox]

My latest piece of art, a pathetic try of anime style inspired by squiggy.

 

[Eccho]

^^ Its still better than what I can draw. The face could use the most work in my opinion though. Or not... I mean, the anime style is different than squiggys

 

[Volvox]

Well, let me splat my name a bit. Proportions suck, details are placed badly and her face is way too (ungh)... Yeah, it sucks but still fine for a first try, volvox. Better luck next time ^^
edit:
another pure fail, a bit better than the last one

 

[-Berz-]

Well its still nice
Far better than my attempts...

 

[Volvox]

Something thumped her... The drawing 's wider irl.

 

[-Berz-]

No man its good...only the eyes are a bit odd otherwise its cute :3

 

[Eccho]

The body looks great. You just need practise on the face : )

 

[Volvox]

Actually, face went well this time but for some reason, it looks narrower here. I think i messed up the hair on the left. Expect another one soon ^^
edit:
eye practice

 

[Misha]

hmmzz......... there are some nice eyes here ^^ but your mistake is drawing the iris in zig-zag =3. and do not be afraid to make wide "reflections of light" on the eye. also the pupil of the eye, (as in squiggs drawings) and the reflection make the most, if not the whole eye.

yea... you might become better in manga/anime. keep workin', and i might paint something yours =3

 

[Volvox]

After a long period of nothing, i present you my two latest works, both done using my new Trust 3100 tablet which i got for Christmas. First one is a scroll, i practiced elementary shading just to get a feel of the pen(done in paint.net) and a cartoony version of my friend. Enjoy!

 

[Eccho]

Nice:] you've improved alot already. Did you get rid of the x/y coordinates issues on the tablet?

 

[Volvox]

Not really, you can notice some trails on the hair and upper part of the nose, but i got used to it already so i know how to avoid it. I mostly make faster moves and work with a higher resolution so it's less visible. Besides, this is like a paper with undo function on top of it so i have all the time in the world to make it right ^^

 

[LiOneSS]

Your faces are too round and big O_O

 

[TheDivineBoss]

And an addition to Lillycubs post: Your drawings resemble a lot from what Elenai makes, although more rough and less detailed.

 

[Volvox]

Really? I'll take that as a compliment, you know, though i was not trying to copy his style. Btw i like round big faces ^^
edit:
I started making avatars/images/whatever for friends so why not uploading them here... First one is for a friend which we call Stijena(aka the rock) and the other one's still unassigned, so far. They're meant to be used as avatars but are made in 1000x1000 resolution.

 

[Volvox]

*bump*
And more avatar stuff. These are getting better, i think.

 

[Eccho]

Nice, those look really cool. I like the two middle ones the best. All of them is really great compared to your first ones (I dont say those were bad, but these are better

 

[-Berz-]

You have some serious stuff here ^^

You improved a lot! =)

 

[Volvox]

Thanks And Eccho, don't bother trying to restrain yourself from honesty, i know those sucked ^^

 

[Eccho]

Meh, I could do worse you know^^ Ive said that a bunch of times.

 

[Volvox]

A major improvement on the anime field, methinks. I practiced eyes and faces, hair still bugs me a little. Added a drawing i did for my friend.

 

[-Berz-]

:O

This is cool!

You are getting better and better!
