Pokémon: Latias
Gender: female, of course!
Specifics: Short hair? If it ends up not looking good/hard to do, then don't worry about it. Design is totally up to you! Thanks ♥

Finished~ I am quite pleased with the colors, mostly the cherry red parts. Red is a bitch to shade, most of the time, but this came really naturally. The pose is unusual, BUT WHO CARES LOOK PRETTY COLORS.

Also, I'm going to pretend you guys didn't just give away that Ren815 broke the rules, since I am in a very good mood today, in spite of general stress :>

Edit: Fixed her hair, I forgot to paint he head marking for. Some reason.

SOOOOO adorable! And I think the pose only adds extra cuteness points

[Icicle]

OHMIGOSH~

Latias is so cute.. she looks like she's like.. stretching? First it looked like she was like.. laying on her belly/pretending to fly.. but then I saw her legs. But yeah.. awesome work Shiro

[Ganymede]

One word:


D'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW

[Gym Leader Luna]

A-awwww, Latias. ;w; SHE'S SO CUTE. ♥

[Elementalist Lux]

Awwwwwwwwwww so cute! Sorry shiro, i have a huge temper and i was already ticked off a bit and i just misunderstood so i was in a flaming rage of sorrow. I even wrote 3 haikus, and i dont write haikus much.

Something sad happened.
My dreams were suddenly smashed.
A mournful wolf prowls.

He searches for light.
Alas, he cannot find it.
The wolf sobs by himself.

There he lies crying.
In a dark cave of despair.
This is true sorrow.

Again, sorry. At least you saw the best of it. Out of rage, i literally ate something FLAMING hot . My mouth still throbs. Again, Soooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry.

[JustinIsPikachu]

Latias is cute

[Trainer Gwyn]

Aww! Latias reminds me of the main character from Kelido Star. 83

[veggievampire]

Geez Ren give it a rest ^^; Shiro forgives you! Case closed! ^^
Also it seems to me that you're trying to make her feel guilty oO'

[veggievampire]

Oops double post!

[Beware, I feel like someone drugged my water so that I feel high.]

[zackychuu]

still, i shall enjoy it while i can

[PokeTrainer Miri]

I... I... What?!?!
I leave for a few days to get my computer reformated and madness breaks loose ><><
Beware, here's a warning for the future: I will stalk you to the ends of the internet for an amazing drawing
No pressure xD

... This site can get people very stressed xD Like just yesterday, I had almost finished all of my daily clicks, and then 5 lines of people suddenly popped up.
So I understand the whole 'Need to get away now, plz' thing :P

But I'll still be rifling through the pages of this thread, for I want to save all the awesome pictures you've already posted 8D

[Runi]

That Latias was adorable. Nothing less.
Jeez Ren, calm down! I really don't know what to say, but...3 haikus? 0.0

[Elementalist Lux]

@Runi I know right? THREE! At least they were poetic right?

@Rowan I was NOT trying to make her feel guilty.
1. I was trying to get her to understand that i get sensitive.
2. Also, i was trying to get myself out of the " OMG I'm so guilty im gonna just die" zone.


My mouth STILL hurts! A LOT!

[Profe]

Latias is so darling ~<3

(You aren't a pedo if they aren't real )

Ren, I don't think you understand fully. You found out that you would have a slim chance of receiving a drawing and while most people would just politely post their disappointment and be done with it you nagged on for post after post about how upset you were and kept going on about how you suffered all sorts of negative consequences. Other Users even kindly tried to warn you so you wouldn't get a strike. You are clearly tring to guilt trip people here.

In all honesty you should really change how you act in the future as most people would find your whining offensive and demanding. No one wants to feel forced to draw for anyone especially when they have a very busy life offline.

Okay, you know what? I AM A YOUNG FEMALE! I AM SENSITIVE! NO ONE IS PERFECT! I FEEL SO FREAKING GUILTY! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! Maybe i should just leave. And if anyone asks why? Ill tell them Ninjacookie chased me off.

... O____e Shirogane, I give you cookies. And hot choccy. And advise you to stay clear of drama >>;

Still, amazing art as always. I can't really say much more than I have in the past XD It's just epic

Is it at all possible to get some critque from you? I drew this picture of a Gardevoir earlier today. The only people I've shown it to are close to me, so of course they'd say it was good. XD I'd just like to know if it really is :/ I do realize my Japanese lettering is... in sore need of inprovement. I'd also like to know if the Kanji in red really does say 'Lady Entei' >>; And, of course, you don't have to do a thing XD I was just wondering~

=O.o=
How was ninjacookie being mean? I think she explained the situtaion very kindly. =^^=;; She was simply giving you some helpful advice. OKAY! Enough about that! 8D

Love the Latias! Some how she reminds me of the Combee you did. =^^= Well, her pose anyway. XD

(Sorry guys, I have no sketches today - life took over. I'm not sure I'll manage any tomorrow as I'll have a busy day, but THURSDAY!!)

Okay, firstly, the lettering in red (which is katakana, actually - kanji is the more 'complicated' alphabet) is sliiightly off, mostly because of how romanization works. A more accurate way of writing it would be レディ　エンテイ, paying mind to the small ィ　in the first word and the bigger イ in the second.

Since I don't know what medium you used (mouse or tablet, paint or photoshop, etc), I'll try to keep critique to strictly anatomy and colors.

Anatomy is, mostly, accurate. It feels like Gardevoir's mouth should be a little further (to our) right. The center of the mouth (with or without perspective) generally matches the chin (and nose, but... Gardevoir has no nose). Otherwise, anatomy is fairly accurate.

Shading should pay closer mind to light sourcing, I think. The general feel from the image is that light's coming from the upper right corner (between the big light spot on its head, and the shadow cast by the "hair" and under the jaw). However, the big light line on the left of its head implies light is either coming from there, or from behind, which contradicts the rest of the colors.

When coloring, you should always keep in mind where the light source(s) is(are). It dictates shadow placement entirely. Colors are lighter closer to the source, darker far away from it, and objects cast shadows on other objects in the opposite direction the light's coming from.

BORING LIGHT SOURCING LESSON OVER.

My last advice is to, regardless of the medium you're using, work on steadier lines. Some types of programs (paint, places like Tegaki-E) don't allow for non-jaggy lines, but you can at least make them thin out in some parts, if you're going to make them thick, to hide the fact the brush is actually round. You can achieve sharper edges without a tablet/proper tools by painting a thick line, then carefully erasing or painting over parts of the thick line so as to make the edges pointy. Kind of like how if you have a round piece of paper, if you cut bits and pieces off you can make it into pretty much any shape.

And to wrap it up, if you're serious about drawing, practice makes perfect. Everyone starts out rough and picks up smoothness and flow over time. It's the only way to go about it. o/




Also, people, please play nice. |( If this thread gets locked for drama, I'll just have to relocate all the sooner. And that's not good for anyone.
