A member of the Eldiades family. His eyebrows, well, are genes. If you think those are thick, you haven't seen his sister.

Thanks y'all.
The girl I posted earlier wasn't a random girl. Her name is Ashina, the female lead of Ashina, one of the comics I am doing. Sound like Alina, haha. But there's no connection. ^__^

I like. Not for THOSE reasons mind you.
So you plan on your own comics obviously. Have you considered the realm of webcomics?
Wow, you have some serious talent.
I think the 4th image, bottom left hand side is your best sketch.
nipples don't point quite that far away. her right one needs to be brought in a little closer
Other than that, looks good! (sorry it just bothered me XD)

Coincidentally, I just revised it. But great thanks anyhow.

The breasts look much better now and DAMN! I was thinking if I should tell you to add scars… and you did! Without me telling you! Magic!! 8D
Mess not with the Ashina.

Aledias Eliades is kind of a melancholic hero.
Hooo~ I really like their designs.
I love Ashina's determined glare and Aledias'… eyebrows. <_<
Those are pretty well drawn faces, though the eyebrows are pretty big.
Gives his eyes a fierce look, though.
And Ashina does look strong and independent.
I really like Ashina
And well Aledias.. is.. eh…. A MAN!!
I'm very excited about your comic! YOU HAVE TO FINISH IT
I will slaughter you if you don't!
And of course you have to show me!
I will slaughter you if you don't!

Crappy self-portrait done in less than 1 hours done out of boredom. The virtue called patience has never been in good term with me, unfortunately, hence the low-quality, which I hope you don't mind. Anyhow, what I am truly aiming for is a difference between the capacities of realistic drawing and photography.
There is one thing in the sixth part of the manga Jojo's bizarre adventure that particularly caught my interest. It is said that Van Gogh used to draw a great deal of self-portrait, which resulting in his soul getting wore off slowly and slowly till his bitter death. Coincidentally enough, my parents gave me the lips of a typical Jojo's character.
Those are pretty well drawn faces, though the eyebrows are pretty big.
Thick eyebrows being the whole point. Like I said, it's all about DNA. Haven't you seen miss Eliadou-his sister?
Gives his eyes a fierce look, though.
It's not hard to draw fierce look. To draw a compassionate and understanding look is harder. I don't think you have to have fierce eyes to be manly. Aledias is not going to be Guts or Kenshiro. Well, in his youth he is. The theme of his story is anti-war.
The concept of Aledias's character is manliness beyond violence. Though Ashina is fierce. So fierce that if you think dirty about her, she will jump out of the screen to ATATATATATATA you to death.

Ashina is the protagonist of Ashina.
Aledias is the protagonist of The wind blows in Shincoste Hill.
I have finished the detailed plot for Ashina, however there is this one thing I am still uncertain about. And I so desire to discuss it here, if anywhere else. As I said previously in this thread, I want to portray women as equal to men in every angle, and Ashina is the defiance of every prejudices against women in society. She is the female version of Kenshiro, but not simply that, and her design and concept is largely inspired by Nausicaa. However I wonder if I should add the characteristic of Panty in "Panty and Stocking with Gartebelt" to her, to a certain extent. What's virtue after all? A man can sleep with many women and yet can call himself a hero, but when a woman does the same kind of thing she would be called a condemned a slut. Shall Ashina just disagree with this prejudice, or should she become an example against it?
Ok, I waited till you were finished with editing your post XD :P

In Jojo part 6 they said that Van Gogh drew a lot of portraits and those portrait wore his soul off slowly. Got me interested. Coincidentally I have the lips of a Jojo's character.
Well, it's recognizable that it is you but there are still some things off. But I'm always bad in describing so I leave it be :P

Both ways are fine if you make it understandable for the reader.
I don't know what I would prefer...

It's the soul. A photo taken by webcam cannot contain my soul.:whistling:
To be exact, it's the eyes. I look more intimidating, ambitious, determined, confident in the drawing, and milder in the photo. That was the difference I was talking about.:whistling:

It's better you place yourself in her situation. What would you choose to be, the romantic type that is monogamy for life and believes true love only comes once or the dominant, adventurous type that ventures and experiences various tastes of love?

that's exactly my problem, I don't know what I'd be :P
the explanation for that is too personal, tho.
I really like your development. You got a lot of "soul" in your work.

A good question. Personally, if you are going to add the element of sex into your story, I would have Ashina be an example against it (i.e. give her the freedom to sleep with as many guys as she wants). You said it best, when a guy does it it's fine, but when a woman does it she is called a slut. A terrible double standard.
Interesting. Lovely portrait Sea, and yes, that is the stereotype about women vs. men in the sexual arena–stemming from a need to know absolutely that the progeny produced by said woman are indeed those of her spousal unit, for reasons of succession and what not back in the days of arranged or forced marriages. Not that it stopped a truly determined couple, of course--that was what chastity belts were for, lol.
My concern in deciding your character's choices would be more about her sense of self worth. You note that in OP, Luffy and Co do many things that are at best questionable, morally (Nami stole all the wallets from her village-mates--there's always so much more in a wallet than money, right?) to at worst downright dangerous for society (letting prisoners, including a number from level 6, out of ID in the name of saving Ace), yet somehow we still manage to see them as the "good guys" and are outraged when someone like Akainu tries to kill Luffy. Make sure that your character doesn't just sleep around to make a point, or because she's horny, or because she can--that isn't strength. Make sure everything she does reflects her values and respect for herself and her partners. Then I imagine it may be ok.
Cool direction Sea. In the case of the Panty character, she's a slut(admittedly) but has quite a few redeeming qualities that meshes quite well. One of the main themes in PaSwG is sisterly love with sisters that are complete opposites with different ways of enjoying life's guilty pleasures. Without the that theme, it would not quite work.
There are tons on ways to make a character in such situations work. Just take your favorite qualities in a female lead and try to create a theme to make the character work. Even male characters in sexual situations have this problem if the direction isn't there.
If you have time, watch this series called Michiko to Hatchin. She female lead has a motherly love type bond even though she's irresponsible, reckless, violent and is chasing after a man who is in fact a complete asshole(not a villain, just a douche). Even so, she's still a strong chracter with admirable qualities.
Is group sex morally wrong?
Can the image of a woman spreading her legs be artistic?
Always depends on what you believe in, I guess.
And the circumstances.
the shadowing is a little bit to much in your drawing and your shoulder should be bigger i think
for the rest great job
Group sex isn't morally wrong if everyone involved wants in on it.
As long as Ashina wants the sex she's having and not doing it for a 'point,' it should be all right.
I think she's a little picky about men, though, but you can spin that into something funny or serious, depending on what direction you want to go.
Dignity is when you have it.
Indignity is when you don't.
Basically, if you have no shame, you'll at least won't feel the latter.
Also….nice avvie.
Of course it can be.
Tries to search for an explanation….
I... I don't have one. Damn.
Oh my~ <3 That looks amazing Sea! The only problem I can see is the horse's mouth, it looks a little short. And the horseman's hand, the one holding the spear, looks a little awkward. Other than that, it looks great.
Wow. Sea, that's amazing! Great detail, I really like your style. Are you going to colour it? Got a colour scheme in mind?
That's a really awesome pic. Can't give any anatomy tips, though.
I too am amazed by your style Sea!
It was great perusing this thread.
I have to say this though: I really dislike the font/way your present your speech bubbles. :P
I like the horse's knee being cut off. It's a nice touch.

Coloring something like that would be incredibly painful.

I am a total photoshop noob. Would be great if someone can help.
inked version looks better , great job man
and coloring would ruin it
oh why do the eyes stay white? why not draw a pupil ? because it would be to small to draw or?
White eyes look mad.
[translation: glowing eyes give a feeling of fierce madness]

You're welcome~
And yet, I feel okay about that. xD
Whoa, this looks awesome, your style is amazing Sea. Full of details, I like it.
That looks really awesome, Sea. Only one thing, though - I might be wrong, but the arm/spear part looks off. The way the soldier is holding it with his left arm makes it seem like the spear should go straight, but instead the front of it goes to behind the soldier's head. I dunno, something about the way that part is positioned looks a little weird and maybe not so realistic? Still looks amazing overall, though.
The inked version is really good. I like this badass sword.
It's good, I really like the sword but the left arm(on the guy with the spear) the way it's positioned makes it look more like an action figure. There's also no background which gives off a kubo feel, hopfully you'll add some that later. That said I'm digging the sword an armor designs.
Thanks y'all.
There is no way the hand could be so behind the head when throwing a spear. You can try doing that yourself.
If I can give a pseudo-explanation, it'd be perhaps the sword pushed the arm backward before completely cutting it off, but yeah, I don't really know. When I drew I just felt "it should be like this". I will pay more attention to that either way.
About the spear being behind the head, it's a mistake when inking. I should have drawn the spear first but the helmet looked more delicious and I was off guard for a moment. I will try to fix what I can.
And background, I think it's a scene that would be more powerful without background. That said, I am really lazy with background and can't hire assistants.
