Absolute Zero turned out pretty good. The only thing that I noticed was that he looked a bit smaller than he should and it made him look more like a kid, then again we all have our own drawing style. You did good with it and I can't wait to see X.

@ Dragge: I haven't gotten used to my scanner- technically the arm and leg portions are bit shorter than standard humans- their joints are usually hidden underneath the armor that covers the forearms and feet. At least, that's from my past experiences with MMX characters, but as you said, everyone has their own style. I'm happy that you liked what I've thus far. Getting started was almost as scary as the finished results!  Goopygoo, Lord of the Whilst: You belittle yourself- you hit it spot on with your take on my fishfencer bit : I meant this as a tribute, so naturally, I had to take it seriously from the first touch of the pencil. In regards to your take on the StH works, I can't really call that art- more specifically on numerous fansites where you see people taking snapshots of various existing anime characters (Naruto perennial among them  ) and using paint programs to 'create' fan characters. In my experiences, you can call it your own artwork when you start from scratch. There's a differnence between using certain character influences and simply butchering the animator's hard work, but that's just me. If you want to see some good Sonic fan art, check out the fan galleries on Sonic and the Black Knight- awesome stuff, that.  Moving on, tonight's works are a bit short and sweet. First up is a recent work on Nicodemus- a more recent take compared to last week. i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/AnotherNico.jpgNext up, I did on a whim about a month ago- I did one work with Scythe cosplaying as Dr. Robotnik. I liked it so much I did a short little comic- i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/Eggdebate.jpg In this one, Scythe admires his modifications on one of the fat man's mechs (Palmtree Panic- a shield arm and laser arm instead of bumpers). But the ol' eggbelly is a bit miffed. Here's the dialog in case you can't read it: Scythe: Not a bad piece of work, eh?  Robotnik: How's that mech different from mine??  Scythe: Mine's still in one piece.  Sadly, I have a history test tomorrow after work, so I might not submit anything. And Dragge, I might get started on the other half of your request, depending on how things go after tomorrow. Ja na. |

Nicodemus has that evil glare in that picture... scary! ...Nicodemus has baggy pants, but baggy pants are cool so that's not a problem at all. ...I just noticed this, but are those bunny ears coming out of his hat...? Sort of makes him look a bit less scary... sort of. The mech picture is pretty cool too. Like the details alot, but the comic is great. "Mine's still in one piece. " Truely hilarious... Isn't Dr. Robotnik that dude from Sonic the Hedgehog, his name used to be Dr. Egg-something right? Was it Eggplant, Egghead? What is it.. err, was in this case... |

Isn't Dr. Robotnik that dude from Sonic the Hedgehog, his name used to be Dr. Egg-something right? Was it Eggplant, Egghead? What is it.. err, was in this case... Bunny ears? Those are blades! When designing the cap, I thought it would be neat to incorporate blades like a crest of sorts- and in the worse-case scenario, he can use it like a throwing weapon via telekinesis. Robotnik was the fat man's name in America. Originally he was called Dr. Eggman in Japan. Personally, he'll always be Dr. Ivo R-r-r-robotnik to me. I just loved tossing in the funny variations of his name- Eggbelly, Fatman, etc. I think Scythe could give him a good run for his money in the robotics business. Alright, you twisted my arm with it, so I've got one more for the night: Another design for Edgar, this time, MMZ style: i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/Edgarreploidversion.jpg For old times' sake, I threw in the mech from the X series. At this point, I slowly started to carve out Edgar's basic characteristics, but being reploid in this pic, I wanted something different. So I gave him an outfit similar to his regular clothes, a coronet for the head jewel, and pants (I'm amazed most of them don't wear pants!). The Zero series presented a more back-to-basics style, so it wasn't too difficult to adapt. I really liked this one. |

How dumb am I..? ...Never mind, don't answer that. Anyway, that makes so much more sense, but they still look a bit like bunny ears to me.. I never really liked the MegaMan Zero series, or the Megaman X series, but anyway, I like the detail in the drawing. Ya' know what? Edgar looks like he's from the future(...wasn't that obvious... )! Anyway, great work Ravenf6! ;D |

@mr. Ninja I was going for that, so yes, I am very pleased with the results. As for the blades, I was thinking about dragon's wings at first, but settle for ones similar to his scythe blade., but they're made to look decorative (deception). My test is finished, and my homework turn in ahead of schedule, so that means ;D more submissions! ;D Our first piece of the evening shows Solrac in solitary training. I got bored of doing standard poses at the point I decided to do this, so I wanted do something in the vein of light martial arts training with a blade- I do like how his sword came out- it usually gives me trouble. i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/obligatorytrainingpose.jpgNext up, this one's part of a request for Dragge- he wanted me to do up Dragge so here he is... so to speak... i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/Draggetest.jpg This one's only a test for now, including a color key so let's see what he thinks... That aside, I still have half a request to do, and I'm free tomorrow... I might have some fun before doing some more aw. Enjoy! |

Pretty good so far! Of course he could be a bit taller (as I once said with Zero) the face looks a little dark but sometimes that'll happen when coloring. Keep up the work and keep improving your work (practice makes perfect they say). Can't wait to see the whole thing!

Looks great! I like the scenery in that pic, the sword came out well too! He'll grow up to be a terrific swordsman with practice. I can tell... And as they say, "Practice makes perfect!!" ;D Now Dragge... I like it. The only thing I noticed was that his buster gun looks like his wrist was cut off, but as you said, "This one's only a test for now," so I assume that you'll fix that and the skin tone. By the way, I didn't really notice the height problem...  |

I really need to start getting pics up of my characters. I love the fact that both you [ravenf6] and Musashi put the "D" on Dragge's shoulder armor. It's not there in my sketches but I thought it was funny that it's become a habit while drawing Dragge.
BTW: You can keep it that way too.

It's not there in my sketches but I thought it was funny that it's become a habit while drawing Dragge. BTW: You can keep it that way too. I might modify the shoulder armor, make them a little bigger (not too much, as for the emblem itself, I just thought the simple touch (just under the collar) would be best. I don't have much to add tonight, a fairly recent one, and for nostalgia's sake First up, it's another go of Castlevania- one of my favorite moments from Legacy of Darkness was the idea that after clearing the Keep, you had to escape the Castle!!! I tried to capture that feel here, only it's also crumbling in the process. I love how Edgar came out here, but not so much with Unaki... I've gotten a few triangles for angles, so I might do this again, one day. i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/thecrumblingtower.jpgThis next one is an early WIP I did for Absolute Zero. At the point I scanned this, I felt a bit unnerved- so much detail went into making look demonic, it was starting to scare me. I considered keeping Zero's eyes pupiless, but I thought that might be too much, so I just made his hair more jagged and wild as you saw in the final results. I thought it might be worth preserving at this point before coloring it in. I really liked doing this one, so Dragge, props go to you on requesting it. If I made Zero any scarier at ths point, he'd be Chernabog....  i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/AbsoluteZeroWIP.jpgIt's getting a little late, but right now, I'm trying to work on a scale test for another work. I might go to the hobby store and find something for circles in the morning... maybe... |

DId you notice that all the characters you draw have legs that are too short?

DId you notice that all the characters you draw have legs that are too short? I just noticed that too, I think that's why Dragge thinks alot of them look like they're kids. Anyway, the castle drawing is pretty good. You captured the epicness of the scene well. The only thing I noticed was that the crumbling castle had a lot of cracks in it and it still looks like it's in one piece. It's just not really falling apart how it naturally would. If it was falling apart, half of it would probably crumble off instead of there just being a bunch of cracks. That picture of Absolute Zero is detailed alot. I think this is the scariest picture yet, especially considering that this copy is pupil-less. Like I said earlier in this post, he looks like his legs are too short, causing Dragge to think it looks sort of like a kid. None the less, I think it looks |

DId you notice that all the characters you draw have legs that are too short? ...You might be right... I've gotten too used to my current style to consider that possibilty- particular, kid characters like Scythe and Edgar. I'm not good at older characters. I haven't noticed this until fairly recently (Sano and Dragge). It will difficult to break the habit, but for future drawings, I'll keep that in mind. Might add another one later, if I find one tonight.... *EDIT* Found one. I did this one not long after seeing Duo's advice, so I applied it to another OC (this one was a quick draft, a little over 20 minutes). This one goes by the name of Tae'ro. i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu153/ravenf6_tc/Taeroquickie.jpgThis guy started off with strong MMX design roots, starting off as a right hand reploid for Sigma. but as time passed by, I began to explore a curious side to this character, and he began to turn out more humanlike instead of just another instrument of Sigma's plots, and I reflected that in this current design (I'll put up the older designs, one day). He becomes more like a human, but I still felt he was still a little dark. In keeping that to this design, you can see a minor influence from Sigma (from his days as CO of the maverick hunters) and Xehanort (KH1). I'd really like to do more with him in future drawings. |

I like it, but it looks a bit like his arms are a bit large on him. Anyway, I like his armor, lots of detail in it. I really like his hair too. By the way, when you say, "he began to turn out more humanlike instead of just another instrument of Sigma's plots" what the heck does that mean? I'm not really a follower of MMX so... yeah.
