H-J's Artwork

New Kinetic sig:

Decided to add Kinetic Woman's (redux) concept art to this topic:

Quoted from the other topic:

Takamachi Nanoha said:
> I didn't want to capture a sense of elegance, and was aiming for simply kawaii/chibi, but the end result gives off a sense of spunkiness and vitality which really fits IMO.
> Stylised original concepts from Kinetic's drawing. The leg pieces sorta remind me of the Qubeley's. The wrist collar bits now located proximally to their original position. More overdone hair. The right eye from Kinetic's POV is supposed to be a series of concentric open almost-squares (for mechanical look). Replaced the length-wise panels on left jaw area to square ones, and continued it onto the neck. Added right collar only. Bust plates more explicitly (as in clearly, not lewdly) presented. Added a few more flames where HJ felt the creative license to.
> Parts where the arms are thicker have the characters 動 (on left) and 的 (on right). Douteki = Kinetic.

The thing I love about this particular image is how well it ended up, despite the fails it had when I worked on it (mainly head shape/eye position etc related, that's probs my bane atm, moreso than hands xD)
 
Pointless update.

First foray into pixelart. Used mainly colors from the NES default palette, but some are from color emphasis bit-switched palettes. I know that some of the poses (up look mainly) are a bit jumpy, but unless I change the entire eye width by one pixel and other changes which I see no reason to make, it's going to stay as such. :p

Base template was MM's select pose facing forward. I got some ideas over face shading etc from some of Mistergambit64's art (dA).
 
Pixel art?!?! O_O

Used a hand drawing (B+W) as source template. Fully done in PS 9.0 CS2, fully my own work (not like there is any external reference for an original character :p)

Critique on pixel placement and general design welcome.

Source image and sprite in side-by-side comparison:

I notice the left arm buster component is longer than it should be (there should be a bit of forearm there after the hinge joint). Might update later. Some of the foot outline appears missing in a Legacy theme because of the grey I used.

Later I may animate a standing pose.
 
The drawing was blown up after scanning. Lack of detail b.c. it'd have messed up the template when shrinking (I worked on the sprite at 85x120 res.)

Edit - fixed the buster arm and tweaked a few other things. Do I need to have one of the hair bangs stick out like the template? :p
Edit 2 - further tweaking, I think the eyes look different now. I think I got an A or B grade Zettai Ryouiki there but I can't really tell :/ Also altered some of the shoe/feet outline intensities.

OMG new sig (Kinetic's request):

33tp3y8.png


Turned out a lot better than I thought it would have. ^.^

What I recall using:
C4D
Three renders of Miku (well one PNG, two JPGs with easy enough white bgds)
One vector image of a grungy treble clef
Hatsune Miku Logo
Megina Studios Vocaloid font (Latin script only :/ ; free)
Polar Coordinates Function
I-Warp Function (used 2-3 times)
Motion and Gaussian Blurs (first spammed too much O_O)
Awesome Subract/Addition stacked layer blending effects (they look meh if reversed tho)
8 Gradient Maps (Too many Dx and some may be unneeded)
2 uses of Color Balance
Emboss Function (for the //KINETIC563// text)

@Kine-kun - enjoy! @w@
@Anyone else - still open for reqs but I may not get around to them due to uni. I believe Snowy's got one req for Ryu?
(And yeah, I keep to 500x150px. The limits give me the challenge to utilise the space as well as I can ;p)

Edit - hmm not using smudge brushes any more. I guess they're not really my taste :p (Also, I don't use my mouse well enough to use velocity and pressure smudging (not to mention I should use a drawing tablet for that)
 
Why am I double posting stuff from MPF? b.c. I can that's what

An incident from MPL Chat. Berry was still furious at me a week after the incident, probably b.c. I posted it at MPF.
