Peppermint Afterlife:

It's another one, of Tdot's.

Blah... still feels like nothing more than a tracing. But then maybe that's just me being overly pessimistic.

And one more for the road.

From Peppermint's

Now to go and draw my actually comic. I have spent far too much time on these....

hell, if you feel like its unfinished or just a tracing, go to town, just dive in, doesnt matter what the end result is like so long as you have a go, IMO

Stephen Henderson-Grady wrote: A good example of what you are talking about would be in the Japanese comic book Utena by Chiho Saito. She often has pages that are just swirls of cursive lines with no black or halftoning or anything. However, they are parts of a great whole (the entire issue) and on some pages she uses thick blacks extensively.

I suppose, then, the consideration of blacks is more important than whether you actually place any or not.

I think we can agree on that! Thanks for digging up Saito's work--'twas interesting to see.

I'd both hit it, and place it as fanart.

I can't do that, cause it's practice art.

At any rate, I like it. It's better than anything I could ever ink.

Please don't slate me. I am terrified enough as it is:P

ShineDog · Post by **ShineDog** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 5:02 pm

super frigging awesome.

how the hell'd you get that look poppy?

Poppycat · Post by **Poppycat** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 5:21 pm

Very heavy use of google image search! Also lots and lots of layers. I took a variety of textures to layer up in different opacities to get the kind of effect I wanted. As I was telling you before, the neck part is from a google search for 'chunky sweater' combined with a blown glass bottle and hefty use of the transform function to get the right bendy perspective. It is a bit of a frankenstein at around 200 layers:) Your fanart is going to look completely different;P

Heh, funkadelic style indeed. I thought it was major photoshop but it's done to a degree where it's really quite hard to tell. I'd recommend losing the obvious photoshopped lens flare-esque lights though.

Reminds me of the style used in I Am Not An Animal only several hundred times prettier - Was it an influence?

Poppycat · Post by **Poppycat** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 6:37 pm

Actually, I haven't used lens flare on there. They were done from scratch. Annoying little sods too. I will have to look into that though if they look crappy:) I haven't seen I am not an animal, so I guess it wasn't an influence:)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- I friggin' love that effect. Have you got anything else you can show us?

Poppycat · Post by **Poppycat** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 12:13 pm

Give me about half an hour and I will show you my so far on something else I am doing for shine:) I am learning how to use artrage and so far I am finding it really humpable. I will have a look through the rest of my stuff in a few and see what else I have that is showable:)

Ferguson · Post by **Ferguson** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 12:33 pm

I think it's awesome, but I still might slate you.
Ok, I really don't know what that means.

Poppycat · Post by **Poppycat** » Thu Dec 30, 2004 1:52 pm

I know that was longer than 20 mins but a girls gotta eat! This is a sketch I am working on for Shine. I hope it doesn't come out massive or I am going to be cross.

Thanks:)

This looks like fun!

I really liked the pencils that Ping did on the female character and wanted to maintain the stylized elegance that she created. The inks aren't quite as slick as I'd hoped, but here's the result:

I inked it as a warm-up before tackling something of my own. I'll try to do the Faub piece in the next week.

Until then, here are some pencils for a commission piece if anyone wants to ink them:

...now if I could just figure out how to make my signature image show up and link to my site...

Holy cow, the inking here is just so incredible! I tend to use simple lines myself otherwise I might end up messing up my picture. But still, this is really an inspiring thread!
