Character Creation Contest #32: Strawberry themed superhero!!
ah no ones deriding that buddy, don't let perception mix up good clean fun. Truth is anything domino looking these days comes off looking battish. I'm noticing it in half a dozen characters masks and other modern costumes this year. There's nothing wrong with using it in the ways you have and it's looked good in each case. Plus I prefer seeing that design on the chest than the face, more creative.
Working all night on stuff doees get you tweaked out sometimes, you know that. And it makes you your own worse critic, which leads to that misperception that everything external is trying to beat you up too, it's not ;)
"@tonis: NO matter what I say or do I always end up looking like a dumbass and a whiner. I am just trying to do a good job and it gets frustrating not being able to do it. "
you are able to do it, it just feels frustrating when you actually try. Let it be what it is, natural :)
If I was to say why I like the first piece most is because it looks the most natural, like you did it feeling free. The next two are nice, but they didn't give me as much of that creative spontaneity that the 'first take' did.
If I could tell you how many times I used to record songs and do 20 takes before realizing 19 were just deflating the energy. It happens when you mix the trying in with the doing sometimes. It's natural.
Decept_O you are doing a good job!
My cousin started drawing at the age of 21! Yes, he was 21 years old when he decided to draw and needless to say, he went for animation. It took him 4 years before he got where he is now. May be not a top notch animator but he can now draw and paint.
Art is both a skill and talent. Thus, it requires time to really get really good at it.
the art I am presenting is not at par to what I have been doing with a canvass and yes, I am getting frustrated but I learn to smile on the works I digitally painted recently. I know after a few months and even years, I can be really good at it.
just don't stop drawing and even painting... you will get there.
@Crazy Pan: Should I delete my other images? I think I've cluttered this thread way too much. The third sketch I submitted is the one I'd like to have entered, please. Please disregard the first two. Fruit bat and all, the third one is the one I want to use.
@IcePrince_X: Thanks. I've cluttered this thread needlessly and I apologize for being such a whiner.
@tonis:
OK.
I wouldn't delete anything, long as Pan knows which one you want entered it's all good. It's not whining buddy, it's working through all the emotions that come with creating to make them enhance you, Rather than consume you. It's another learning process just like the drawing.

I pick up on your growth in every new submission, no doubt there's some exercise going on :)
"@Raven0207: That sucks. I know when I've had that problem I just reboot my computer and it fixes it. "
yea, with most modern scanners it's all USB burping. Reboot will reinitialize and the alternate is shut the imaging program down and pull out the usb and make it wake back up. That'll usually get the windows imaging or twain drivers responding again. It almost makes me miss the old days when SCSI was the scanning shiznit.
From now on I think I'm just not going to joke anymore... Gah I seriously don't mean to piss people off here. I'll just shut up and only post my entries from now on :[
" @Decept-O: Dude I meant ZERO ZERO ZERO disrespect! Zero I swear! I was just trying to show what whoever mentioned the bat thing was talking about! You are a fantastic artist and I love your work! Please don't take that post as a hit below the belt man I seriously didn't mean it! :( From now on I think I'm just not going to joke anymore... Gah I seriously don't mean to piss people off here. I'll just shut up and only post my entries from now on :[ "
silly wabbit, you'll piss people off occasionaly whether your serious or not, it's how this crazy world works at times.
don't ever stop joking though or you'll go blind ;)
No, it is OK. I am the one being a tool. I've talked to tonis about some things that have happened recently in my personal life and I'm being "touchy"-----again. I am not perfect. I know someone will bring up some past things as examples but you know what? I am human, so if anyone wants to do that, "f" off.
Also, this was between you and I, don't see why anyone else had to peep in with their comments.
Y'know I have a friend who is all ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME and I can tell you that you are FAR from being that, at leats right now you are, if you want you can add a few more posts about yourself then we'll check back lol, but hey we all have bad days so don't worry about it,
Regarding the doughnut: *hands you one* :D Here ya go kid!
I think I miss the fun side... hmmmm....
I am still thinking of naughty thoughts... he he he... now comes with a doughnut.
Serious is more like it...
Yah, I have to agree... I do appreciate the entry on the Jubilee vampire costume, where she was made cute. But I see this type of drawing best suited for a character creation or in the regular artist showdown show-off if the character is fun and bubbly.
" @IcePrince_X: I wish more people would do fun submissions for every contest like Illyana did for this one. I sometimes feel like this place is so dark xD! "
you can blame that on Watchmen back in 85, before that all this shit was funny.
by the way Ice, mentioning naughty thoughts and doughnuts in the same sentence is generally gonna get you in trouble somewhere. :)
" @tonis: *insert highly inappropriate dirty joke here* <--The joke I was going to put was so bad I censored myself so the mods wouldn't have to lol. "
I'm so bad I already filled in the blanks with something dirtier :)
by the way, the next character creation contest has to display the power of farting in ones direction or face penalty of death by such.
" @Illyana Rasputin: oh man, leave it to you to smack these bitches back up, AND WITH MY FAVORITE OF THE BERRY CRUNCHES. damn, I had a cereal idea brewing too, curses in disdain~ uh, are you sure those are marshmellows? "Yes, strawberry marshmallows!
" @IcePrince_X: I wish more people would do fun submissions for every contest like Illyana did for this one. I sometimes feel like this place is so dark xD! "I agree with everybody! You are all made of awesome. Drama sucks,. I appreciate constructive criticism, and I have a very good self-effacing sense of humor. I love to make people laugh, and be happy. Thanks.

"sorry for that everyone. i did that in about 5 minutes for kicks. ive been really swamped here. i did have a legit detailed idea, but it was really pornographic. i vote for Illyana's in advance BTW. "
Then cast a vote when the Voting Thread starts. We never have enough Viners casting votes for the Contests as it is. :0)
