Well I've been a fan of ichigo's music for a while, never visted the forum though. I made an account recently and saw the art forum. Pretty cool :D. Thought I would share some art from my gallery.

First of all, welcome to the forums!
your art...it rocks!
I looked through your gallery at DA...and wow!

Wows! That's really neat art you have there.

That first one is beautiful! Great job, keep it up. ^.^ I'll be sure to check your DA.

Sweet art. You have quite the talent as an artist. I wish I could draw as beautifully as you. Wow. Keep up the good work. :)

You're absolutely amazing. That's crazy good! ^_^

I like the way Marlon put it. It is indeed 'crazy good'. Looking forward to more stuff from you.

:drool:

>_> Oh, M...

Wow! Great job. I wish the DA link would work for me.

Wow. It looks really professional. Kudos!

It's so nice <3 keep up the good work

wow thanks for the comments everyone! i'm glad you thought it was good :).

i know theres a lot of final fantasy fans in here (i love the sheet music ichigo has for it) so heres some ff fan art... i hope you like it.

It's a good drawing, but it's sorta creeping me out.....

Oh my. I think M just gave you his unofficial stamp of approval. It's not often that he's left without words.
:drool: XD

If you will pardon my saying this, that is a viera right? She's drawn exceptionally well, but! Her face seems a tad.. em.. unfitting, if you will, (and I might even go so far to say that it looks a smidge manly,) but that may just be me. It just doesn't suit for some reason. But again, that may just be me.

To me, she doesn't exactly look like the actual character (maybe it's the unfitting face, as methodx said), but otherwise, great drawing, and very good attention to detail. Excellent job. :)

Thanks for the input! i see what you guys are saying about the face, it really needs an adjustment.

Yea, it's really..... um..... disturbing..... I don't feel like going in detail.....

Woah, finally someone who's better than me.


You and I need to have a little chat about coloring in photoshop...

That sounded so stuck up I feel sorry for you.

I don't think he meant it like that...

but just in case:

Both equal or better.

A doesn't work...

you put http twice luis!

Sure dead panda, if you have any specific questions send me a private message!

Decided i needed to catch up on my face anatomy again (the last picture of fran i posted was really bad!)

Thank you thank you for all the honest comments, its a luxury for me to get different perspectives on my work!

is it just me or does that hand look big as heck?

I think it looks too big, too. I really like how the eyes came out. Overall: good job, just needs some work.

Oh, hey Gtro, I recognize you from the uh M.....T.....forums (Gotta be careful when mentioning these things, lest Angelic attack me with the warning-stick. ;D ) by your art. Nice to see you joined here too, you're a good artist. ^ ^

Also, @panda boy: there are a lot of artists here as good or better than you. If you want some humbling proof, just ask for it. ;3

Yes. The hand and face are drawn nicely and accurately enough, but the hand does come out as a tad to big. Otherwise, every contour of their face was laid out well. Good attention to detail.

Wow. That's really, really good. While the hand did come out too big, the proportions were well-done on the face. Great job, IMO. Nice shading, too. :)

Thanks! lol the hand is too big, they look like man hands bleh. Always something wrong lol. Thanks for the feedback

HopelessComposer: I didn't know you posted there, cool stuff. I'm more a reg there but these forums are pretty cool too - funny how it turns out that I end up doing more art topics here than music.

Maybe the hand is someone elses? It could be a hand on the persons head as if to say: "Cheer up!"

or give me all your money lol... *sigh*

that is come cool nice art lol

some speed painting o.o

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/sphexed/sp02.jpg

great work as always.

*gasp!* wow wow wow wow!!! ^____^
I love your work!!

o.0'

...

That's flippin' amazing! Great job! ^.^

Speed painting? I can't even do.. well, painting in general. :mellow: Super duper.

I don't think he meant it like that...

Yeah. Didn't mean any offense, xspeed is definantly better at me, though I haven't seen any color jobs. Not sure about the fairy girl. She's good too.

:drool:

I love your style! Everything in that Asain bridge painting is so perfect!!! ENVY ENVY LOVE ENVY :drool:

:thumb: Your art is awesome. I looked through your gallery and I especially liked Oriental Bridge. Don't stop with what your doing 'cause you've got some serious talent going on.^_^
