Maximum Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Here's a picture i just drew and colored: Tell me what you think or what I can fix I call him Hiashi since Hiashi means spreading of fire. It was the best name i could think of. have any better name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey this is a great shot. I've just got a few points He is drawn on an angle. Don't worry, most people do this due to a tendency with their hands. It you are using photoshop, you can use alt + t (transform tool) which will let you twist your image slightly to the left. The image is also very pixalated. This could be you drew at a lower resolution, or shrank the quality too much afterwards. Usally, for digital editing, 300 pixels per inch is a good number, depending on details. On the visible hand one of the fingers is too long (the one between the thumb and the middle, it should be slightly shorter than the middle) This will make it appear more natural. But great job with the sword and the fire! What program do you use? I might be able to give you more tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I drew it using a mouse ( i don't have a graphic tablet :( ) so i guess thats why there are lots of things messed up in that picture. I used MSPaint to draw the whole thing but i used Corel to color it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Cool pic. I can't see the whole sword though. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Awesome! You already know that I can't draw, so I can't judge any further than that. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Can't draw in real life, or can't draw on the computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3l3ana Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Good job Maximum.. I can't draw either, so I guess that is where my comments stop too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Have you guys even tried?? Well, that picture was fantastic, you are really the artist, and I really like it! Could use some background colour, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 @firetail: I just can't draw at all, simple as that. :P Believe me, I've tried. I do agree that a background would be the perfect finishing touch for the image - a flaming background seems like it would fit the picture's general theme. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3l3ana Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 @ firetail.. Yes I have tried and no I can't draw.. I can finger paint though :P Background sounds like a good idea.. I just don't know that if a flaming background is a good idea, since there are flames coming off the sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 That's why flames are a good idea - they would create a good general theme. :P Just make them a reasonably dark red and the sword should stand out quite well (no, I'm not suddenly an art expert, I just have a little experience with graphics editing).

~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Just don't colour the bakcground blue, it'll make it seem like Hiashi is flying or floating on water or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hmm... that's an interesting concept actually. :yes: Flaming sword vs. some sort of water spirit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*MidnightMoonFiretail*~ Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I don't think we should even get to think about that. I said the word DON'T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
