Wait wait wait.
Does that mean Robby is really… a Freddy?
I am speechless.
! I would love to draw something for a magazine like this but unfortunatly, I'm one of those people who is surrounded by artists rather than being one myself. Shame too, I'd love to express myself through a pencil. I wish those sending in art all the best.
if i get some spare time, I might be interested in this one.
Tell me more about Dark Bird robby.
Darkboid… er, bird... Is the leader of a mercenary group of sky pirates called Night Flight, who own a ginormus air fortress called the Gull Wing. She also has a strong Brooklyn accent and is rivals with one of the hero characters, Ace. She once forced him into a situation where her mercenary group was piloting top of the line combat aircraft, and Ace was in a 747. With passengers. She do be a villain. And also a princess of a country now, I think..
she's interesting as well as Sabo. Or perhaps gimme a recommendation of anyone who wears a suit.
Not much is known about Sabo, he's basically a joke character that shows up and claims to rule the universe, and refereees wrestling matches. I mostly threw him up there because I thought folks would be amused by the name and look.
There are lots of characters that wear suits and are badass. I would have to go and grab their images to show them, but if you want someone in a suit, I'll find you someone in a suit. (Glancing around the OMGWTF everybody image you can see some. Stripe, the tiger guy, often wears suits.)

There's also Crush and Xane, two agents of a super secret government super hero program Agency Zero. (Stripe is also a member.) Crush (on the left) can change her size and mass at will. Xane (on the right) is a Nubian avatar of battle, who while unstoppable in combat, isn't all that bright. Crush messes with Xane by flirting with her… though Crush is probably straight.

There's also a guy named techninja, but I'd have to go hunting for an image of him.
Wow. awesome that is so badass Sea.
Can I upload a 3000x2100 sized digital art in imageshack?
Imageshack can hold pretty large files, so it shouldn't be a problem. And there are alternate methods too. But imageshack should be able to do it.
Wait wait wait.
Does that mean Robby is really… a Freddy?
Nah, Fred is the creator of Gold Digger. Great guy, one of the most unapreciated talents in the industry. He writes, draws, letters and colors his book every month, and THEN does another book! Sometimes two!! Dude is crazy fast, crazy good writer.
The annuals are just… annuals. I'm just hitting the interwebs to try and fill it out so we don't have 60 pages of art from the same 4 inhouse people.
The coconut bra pinup killed me!! So good.

I has progress!! Thinking about inking these in Illustrator, I'd get way cleaner lines. I just hope putting them back in Photoshop won't destroy the pretty vector lines.

Ya'll are doing pretty good for something you don't know anything about!

Robby, how do I save it on Photoshop in such way as to keep the size of the image intact instead of having it automatically shrink when I upload it? .3. Or do I have to use another site instead of tinypic..?
One hand, her glasses and some corrections on her hair and foot left and I am done with the lineart! \o/ Huzzah! Huzzah! HuzzzzzZZZzz….
tinypic doesn't like to upload big stuff and shrinks it down o3o

Try imageshack, it usually doesn't resize images unless you want it to.
*** PlasticStar5 Instagram***
Thank you~! I will!
Rob boss.
I may die doing this, I may be totally unable to finish by Sunday, but have all of Monday free (this weekend I am going to be on set all day each day (6 AM to midnight, Friday, Saturday & Sunday) for a Short Films Production company I'm a part of as script supervisor. Demands on my time and attention are gonna be rough, but I WANT to do this goddamnit).
If you can mebbe provide more Xane and Crush pictures, that would be tits, sir. If you can somehow manage this before 6 AM EST, that would be amazing. But the sooner the better! I may just work through the night and live off coffee and red bull, working on my downtime.
Chrissy- Imageshack should be fine. If not that, there's always email and megaupload a variety of other things.
Silence- I have no extra images of Crush or Xane, right now, but I'll throw those up first thing when I go to the office tomorrow, probably around 10ish. (Yeah, I work weekends… ALL THE TIME...)
And check your pm box.
@robbybedfart:
(Yeah, I work weekends… ALL THE TIME...)
Dude….even Sundays? (Not even one day off a week?)
Is it a job or a forced labor camp?
Yes chief. :V .
Mmm I've never read Ninja Academy, and I've never been that interested in Gold Digger.
However my brother (who is also an artist) reads both, so I'll see if he can make something for you :)
Saw your post and started working on a drawing. I am a pretty new to drawing (only really decided to start learning to draw in the last couple months) but ill try to get something done by Sunday.
Here's what I've done so far. I'm sure I can finish Gina today (Sat, August21). Deadline is Monday right? Gonna try to speed things up once I'm done with my appointments today and sunday. I'm taking too much time trying to make curves with the mouse, if someone could help me with Brittany's and the Ninja leprechauns line art that would be good, If not, I'll try to keep you posted.
Is the size ok?

No holidays either. Deadlines don't stop for anything.

Well, I enjoy it most of the time, and get paid for it, so…
i was gonna ask; do you sleep robby? you seem to be busy with this job of yours, and your always on here. before I knew you better, I thought you might be some lazy kid with lots of time on his hands to always be hanging around on AP. You sir, have impressed me. hard worker, and still find lots of time to have fun.
Whoo! Base coloring done! Time to add the shading then the bg and I am done! What kind of character is Xane btw? =x

Since my job has me in front of a computer all day ANYWAY, its easy to multitask when I get bored. When I have to crunch for deadlines tho, the internet goes to the wayside.

Yes, dell optical mouse so its taking me some time to recreate my pencil drafts on the comp. Straight lines are not that bad it's just that curves are taking some time for me create, if I rush it it creates a jagged line, not a good thing to see (see Brittany and Leprachaun in the pic I linked).
anyways
Is Gina wearing lipstick? and do you have other pics for the ninja leprachaun? I can't see the details to well.

Sounds crazy to me. I can't imagine going prolonged periods using just a mouse anymore.

Since its in the anime style, most of the female characters usuall don't, but they can if you want them to.
As for the leprechauns, I am no longer at the office, so my access to the archives is now gone, and I hadn't planned on going in tomorrow. I'll still do my best to provide whatever images I can find. Do these help?

Oh… hehe I'm just the occasional artist. XD
I see. Yeah those pics should be enough. thanks.
Oh btw, is Fred the artist for those HOW TO DRAW MANGA illustration guides? The art reminds me of them.
I haven't read a page of Gold Diggers, and been unfamiliar with the character's personality, thus, it's really hard to come up with a good idea, while I don't want to draw them with just cool poses.
I like drawing fighting scene, so I want to know the ability of some villains and who are their main opponents.

Omg that is so awesome Sai~! <333 I never expected coloring with a friggin' mouse would brutally murder my right arm like this. D8 Damn this is the last time I am coloring a huge picture with just a mouse. I'll stick my pixeling to 500x500 the most after this is over! @_@;

Damn, that's some good looking art! It's great to see so many different styles come to together in one thread. I'm glad that such great work is being published in an collectable format!
Considering uploads to imageshack and so fourth, I should have mentioned my still uncompleted website earlier. I have 4GB of free space on the server so if that would be easier for Robby, I wouldn't mind hosting the artwork for people. That way, you could save it in the highest quality possible and wouldn't have to worry about it being downsized. I've hosted images before and they came out fine so you'd have nothing to worry about. However, if you wanted to send me files to host, you'd have to contact me through Skype or e-mail since my PM box is full. Would my offer be of any use to you?

Oh god, I know what you mean. My wrist hurts so bad after half an hour that I just need to stop for a little. I've never even drawn anything this freakin' huge before on mspaint, much less colored, outlined and completed! Plus my analness will make me shade this thing with so many colors until I deem it perfect that my hand will pop right off after I finish it

Hrm. Thats kind of a rough question, theres so many characters with so many different fighting styles, and rivals. Kung fu, specific martial arts, giant swords, mecha, magic, humans, dragons, were critters, liches, dwarves, and a thousand varieties in between, there's not really any shorthand I can give. And my resources aren't here so I can't grab more character pictures as I think of them either. As you can see from that one page, there's literally hundreds of characters. (We're working on getting all the old issues up online, but obviously that will be no help today.)
Are there any particular designs catching your eye that you want follow up on?
For the main two at least…
Gina Diggers- Uses science rather than physical prowess. Has mecha bodyguards, her big were-cheetah sister for that. Uses a plunger gun on occassions. can make anything from nothing,and manipulates mega technologies to her advantage. Rivals with Penny Pincer, who is largel the same, though she has expertise in other fields. They have a wedgie war going on.
Cheetah Diggers- Super speed, super strength, regenerative abilities. Trained in martial arts and more recently magic, she's pretty powerful.
My WIP so far~
why do mouses hurt your wrists so much?!So, what do you think? Good so far?
Cause they're designed for casual point and click use, not continuous drawing.
Looks really good so far!
KamenRIder, Sai the deadline is Monday. Right Robby?
Yes, there's enough stuff projected for Monday now, that Monday its going to have to be. It'll take time to set up the book and color the straggler pieces anyway.
Rob I'm gonna try to submit it early Monday(August 23) gonna work on it late today (Sunday August22). You live in the US right? What's the time difference with Canada (Toronto)?
US and Canada share the same timezones, and I'm in the middle of the US, so the timezone difference will be only an hour or two in either direction. Timezones are mostly a concern for those living on the opposite side of the world.
Oh, and for those interested, here's what I'm working on right now. Still figuring out the dialogue for lettering and coloring up the last part, but so it goes…

Maybe I will do a fist fight between Stripe and that Muay Thai dude.
That girl who look like Storm with a Pharaoh helmet seems interesting. Who would be best to be her opponent?
–---
To me, drawing with mouse is really time-consuming, and not good for hand. Plus, the traditional method is more enjoyable. I did the Ryan pic in like 1h30'. My colouring skill is really crappy, but I prefer it to shiny color, which make me feel artificial. The rough coloring style I use give more of human and natural feeling, and I can see more life in it. It will look better in smaller size, though.
@Sea:

Hrm. Not sure which Mai Thai dude you're referring to, the one in this picutre on the far right?
http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/1807/cvr13.jpg
He's an ordinary human type and would be way outclassed by Stripe, hes actually much more in Ryan's league.
Stripe is over powered to a lot of the characters. A better choice for him would be the black and white catgirl in the bottom right of that image, Priestess Tanya. She was in love with him, and got really pissed once he got engaged. She tries to use spellcraft to get him back.
Stripe on the other hand, can now fly and shoot fireblasts from his wrists.
That girl who look like Storm with a Pharaoh helmet seems interesting. Who would be best to be her opponent?
I forget her name off the top of my head, I'm thing Syth, but I may be wrong. She's a minor character, who ssssstretchesss out her s ssssssoundsss. She might be fun against Spellvis (The obvious Elvis impersonator on the same page) in that crack pairing "They've never actually met but are both magic users with S names" sort of way. ANd Elvis using female controlling psionic magic.
Robbie, Luffy's Nakama s interested in trying a piece. She is working on it right now, as I type. She wants to know if you can help resize the pic to th proper size if necessary. (I told her she needs to (learn to) do it, but she wanted me to ask, so…)

As long as its a reasonable size and resolution, to begin with, I can adjust it without too much trouble. Adding borders or resizing or whatnot.
Like I've said before, the size is ridiculous big for internet standards, but… it IS the norm for printing.
'Sup Robby! My picture is finally done!! It's really bad compared to everyone else', but I hope it's good enough. If the resolution isn't clear enough, I have it up on Deviant art as well, so lmk. I can provide the links to colored and sketch.
!
And if you want to recolor it because my coloring sucks,
!
Do you need/want my age? Because if I do then I will send it in a private message with my name.

Do you have it larger than that? Like I said before, printing size is 300 dpi, which is about 3 times bigger than internet standard. Its HUGE for the internet, but…. printing is a different beast. If I sized it up or ran it as is, it would be very fuzzy.
Do you need/want my age? Because if I do then I will send it in a private message with my name.
Ages are not needed, but the NAMES you want to be credited as are.

Nope, don't have it larger, and we don't know how to fiddle with it at this time, sorry. Not sure how to fix that. We are using Paint Shop Pro, but an older form. Maybe I can google instructions to try and learn how to make it larger without losing anything.
I am confused. If I ever work in the American comic industry, using my real name would be useful. However, it seems that I won't. Even if I do, using a pen name still do good.
Any advice, Robby? For a future comic artist?
We found a tutorial and are attempting to follow it, lol. updates to follow.

Robby both me and my sister are working on piece each but they most likely wont be done till tomorrow. Some stuff came up today (Walking with Dinosaurs came into town) and neither are colored yet. We will try to get them in tomorrow. I haven't really colored anything before so I am learning as I go.
I think I finally managed to resize it, but can't be positive. The image seems to have the correct dimensions, if a little wide (there's room to snip some off, if so) but I'm clueless about computer stuff, so let us know if this will work for you. Luffy's Nakama is rather frustrated, lol, and I myself am tired. Here is it hosted on imageshack. If you need it on her deviant art site, we can do that. I sure hope this works for you. It's been a learning experience if nothing else. Sending her name via PM. Hope your box has room, lol.

Even if you don't do comics work in the future, if you DO intend to follow art as a career, its good just to have the random published work on your resume. Actual name with a penname in quotes is probably the way to go. Like Robby "Bobart" Bevard.
If you don't want to share it with the board, you can PM it to me, but then it'll hit print eventually anyway. up to you.

Yeah, art takes a surprising amount of time, most people take that for granted cause they just glance at a page or a panel for a few seconds, unaware of how long it takes to draw and color a single image, let alone 5 or 6 per page with backgrounds.
What name do you want attributed?
