Nicotine's Art Thread: Round 2

[Nicotine]

I decided to make another art thread because a lot of the pictures I posted on my other one (which I cannot fine) are either old or I removed them. So here is some Team 7 fanart to kick my new one off ^_^;.

Niiiiiiiice. The depth you have in the tones of this piece is just fantastic. My one complaint is that some of the shading needs a little more blending (especially on her sleeve, it looks a little blotchy). But very, very nice work.

[Shadowmage]

Very well done, I see why so many people praise your artistic prowess.

[animanic_critic]

The blending looks kinda coarse; work on that. If the blending looks smoother, then it'll be an eye candy to all us AA members :rolleyes2 ...

[Nicotine]

I agree about the blending. It was my first time using that many tones and I didn't know where to start >_O. I'm happy with the way Shino came out but Hinata looks rather horrible XD. Right now, I'm working on a picture of Gai's team so I'll try harder next time.

Two more recent pics; the first one I just did today. Both oekaki Paint BBS.

Okay, the latest two are way better than the last one as far as blending is concerned. The only slight problem here to attent to is the edges. Make them smoother and it'll be flawless. I see alot of improvement this time 'round.

I dunno guys, I really enjoy the pixelated oekaki look of the first picture. The only thing I can nit pick about really is that Akamaru's nose doesn't seem to match the same depth of Kiba's pose. Or maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way.

Can't wait to see the Team Gai work you're doing. <3 Lee.

A little Death Note/Plastic Tree fanart. I usually don't work with traditional media anymore D:. This is pencil, color pencil, and pastel:

The face nails it and the hair couldn't look any cooler. The only problem for me is that the shoulder's a little broad. Plus, I couldn't make out what's that in her left hand -- a cigarette box?

[Ashuri]

I agree with Animanic about the shoulder thing and the collar bone looks a little strange to me, maybe too low, i donno. I love the letters though. Good work, i love the painting you did earlier looking out a window. Good job, keep it up

[aoi_n_asul]

yup, there's something off around the proportions of the shoulder. the area around the mouth bothers me too. i haven't watched Death Note/Plastic Tree so maybe that's why.

[Natsuke Takeda]

Wow... Just.. wow..

When I saw the mirror picture (or is that looking through a window? The one with the soda) that was all I said in an almost unbalanced tone. "Wo~o~ow..." Like "Meow" but this time "Wow"

You're real good dude.. The depth of your pictures is amazing.

It's a subway (the view is from the inside). I'm glad you like it, though. I was only happy with the cup when it was done XD.

Here's the latest thing I've done. I picture of the late Ian Curtis from Joy Division:

Guess I'll start off with the critique...

Overall, it's very detailed and commendable, but the ear seems a little redder than the rest of the anatomy. Is this done on purpose? Plus, it looks like there's a lump on the side of his neck. I hope that he really doesn't have that in real life :p .

Good work. Keep it up!
