I was going to post an update of my sword, but really, the only thing that's changed is a couple of inches are now shinier than before. So have a knife instead!

Spoiler: Take this, it's a knife. (click to show/hide)

Just before quenching.

Finished product. Takes me a couple hours to make one of these.

I'm make a video series on Youtube on making and animating this kobold sprite:

The first video is here, for those interested. I've got the second video uploaded already, but I'm just waiting until a day has passed since I uploaded  the first one. The above gif is from the second video, too. I'm excited to keep working on him.
EDIT: Small request: Does anyone happen to know where I could find a walk cycle reference for animal-legged people? Because I'm having a hard time trying to animate this walk.

[Bauglir]

Hm... I don't know off the top of my head, but you might be able to adapt a cycle of tip-toed walking if you can find one of those? That's the basic difference in the anatomy, really.

Like cats.

Gives you an excuse to watch many cat .gifs/videos (which can only be a good thing)

[kisame12794]

Have a 25 minute video of cat vines. I didn't make this by the way.

Edit: Whoops, had it backwards.

bro i am not sure why but your link denies my clicks in Firefox

here have a working one http://youtube.com/watch?v=4tzhyfWHdLo

Oh yeah also i decided to try working a bit on my posing (since i am terrible at posing anything that isn't a stickman), so i thought "HMM, WHAT FREE ONLINE BOOK COULD POSSIBLY TEACH ME ABOUT THIS? OH RIGHT, LOOMIS' BOOK" and then tried to get my Doohinkus on.

i call it the LOOMIS SLAM

I am pleasantly surprised at how simple and easy that method is, so i might well incorporate it into my extremely limited repetoire of methods. c:

Quarians have the same sort of legs in the Mass Effect series. If you look at videos of them moving, maybe that could help?

Hey guys, just popping in here to see if I could request something from all you artsy folks.
This isn't anything I plan on using for anything*, and is more or less just something I really want to see.

Anywho, I've been throwing the idea of a powerful female protagonist for a story I want to write but probably never will.

Her features should be something like this:
Long, white hair. Perhaps with portions of it stained with blood.
White/Silvery eyes.
Average height for a normal human female.
She needs to be an angel, so wings. (And they gotta be glorious.)
Somewhat muscular, whatever would be appropriate for a soldier of sorts.
Face should be a little bit round. Not fat-type round though, more of just a roundish jaw.
She should have an expression composed of sadness mixed with emotional deadness.

I want her to be clad in some pretty majestic, high-fantasy, white, angelic type armor. Nothing like gold trim, though. Also, nothing TOO ridiculously huge. Perhaps covered in some blood as well.
She should have two large, curved swords, either in her hands, on her back, or on her sides. Bloody, of course.

Basically, the character I'm describing comes from a quick story I made up for one of my friends on Facebook when they asked me to.
The character I described, who I'm calling Leia, for now, is the Commander of the Sylphian Military, with the Sylphians being the angels of the world I'm playing with at the moment.

As for the general art style, anything goes. I would prefer something really... Artsy? I guess?
Something that looks like it was done with Pastels, I think, is what I mean, but again, anything will work.

All artists who take my challenge will be awarded cookies.

Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to go for asking for art to be done, I admittedly didn't look that hard for a thread of the sort.

*Currently, anyway; I'll let whoever know/ask for permission if I ever use the graphic for anything.

Well, I also decided to give this a shot. I realized what you were saying when you suggested the pastel-ly art style, and I completely ignored that and made a vector version instead.

(If anyone wants a larger version, it's easy enough for me to make)

The wings were by far the hardest part. It went through several attempts of really awkward looking things before I arrived at the current form.

Spoiler: This is what one looks like by itself (click to show/hide)

I actually had to look up a how to draw bird wings step by step picture on google, and followed along with it.

Welp, here's what I currently have of that walk. I know there's a bunch of things I've gotta fix, like the arm. There's also no tail movement and I want to animate the lantern-holding arm some more, but I did what I could in roughly 30 minutes.

EDIT: The video had been uploaded. Here's the link.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

hey now, that's pretty good. In addition to the stuff you have left to do, maybe animate the eye with an occasional blink, or have the tongue roll over the lips to make it look a little more alive!

A rough doodle I found myself very happy with.

Particularly, I'm pleased with my progress on the hands. His right hand, mostly. The left one sucks, but it's still better than most hands I've drawn. I'm kind of surprised that I'm more comfortable with the three fingered look, since I was pretty adamant about practicing with four fingers until now and it looks so much better.

To make my images more versatile for resizing I started drawing larger and with thicker lines, along with maxing out the hardness. Not sure you can see the difference in my avatar, but I like the harder lines much better. Surprised it took me so long to transition.

I've just got to make my style more consistent from day to day and I'll move on to actual animations.


But I should definitely print that T-Shirt and sell it in Colorado or something.

sketch

[Yoink]

Damnnn, some nice art of all kinds here in this thread!
I really like that table, Spitfire. Looks extremely practical, and I like the colour to boot.

Anyway, I can't post any of my (probably rubbish) sketches since I don't have a scanner currently, but the other day I tried to draw a self-portrait on Drawception, using their sandbox mode.

Not great I know-I mean, look at how long my face is- but it's probably the best digital art I've ever managed to do.
One of these days I need to do the cliché 'derping around sketching people in public' thing. I'd be seriously self-conscious about it, though... perhaps I'll wear sunglasses. Considering making this picture my new avatar.

ALSO:

Also i'm on a roll today, so here have a totally grayscale HATEBOMB

Spoiler: because i've taken enough of your screen space already (click to show/hide)

hatebomb hates everyone and everything equally

In retrospect, i forgot to apply bluish grayish shadows to this guy, but oh well. :I

Oh man, that is freakin' sweet! I want that guy on a jacket patch, badge, or even a shirt.
