heh… looks like Cosmic Finally got to you. The Pirate-cat is prolly my Favorite out of that Batch.
The way you make Nami's figure look real is great. And I really love Usopp x Nami pairings even though that pair doesn't get alot've of love.
thank you everyone!! ^___^

ahaha, how did I know someone was gonna make a comment about Usopp's nose? XDDD That is a great image though, lol!

thanks! I looked at it again and thought I made her thigh too big… ah well, I guess its just a hard habit for me to break, drawing curvy women XD
Made a new sig.... used one of my favorite songs, "Let Go" by Frou Frou... I think it suits Robin pretty well, and I'd like to make a Robin AMV to it one day...
Anyway, this is the fullsized version, cuz i don't think you can see some stuff in the sig-sized version... ah well. I love that font too, its called Bert XD
oooo nice sig, woulda been better if we could see Zoro, Nami and Luffy better tho.
@1:

thanks ^^
ah….yeah probably hehehe... maybe i'll fix it =3
LOVE the pirate Kitty. God I wish I could draw like that!

from a design point of view, I think it's great!. What are those letters/symbols going through the picture though. (not the song lyrics at the top and bottom, the big ones in the middle)
That pirate kitty blew my mind! Wow.
@ captain usopp - thanks a lot! ^^
umm… i used the same font throughout the whole thing... i think the big letters are 'o', 'e', 'q' and 'd'.... I just stretched and squashed them cuz i thought they'd lend themselves well to a design like that. ^^
@ buuhan - hahaha, thanks, glad ya liked her XD
ah, so they don't actually spell anything then. they just look cool. question answered.
A great piece of art with a great saying. That gives it a plus. Excellent, Neko.
…........blah, this sucks... I'm sorry Taboo
I wish I coulda done better, there are some things I like about it… mainly Nojiko, lol! I think I drew Ace's torso too short... well, it looked like that in the reference I used O.o;
Nice! That rox, but Nojiko seems too much like Nami there..In fact, I thought that was her until I saw it clearly lol :-O
Anyway, thta is beautiful! You are a great artist
Before I scrolled down I thought he was feeling up on her ass.
did you ink that without sketching it out first? Aw, I've done pics like that before. I love the shading though, and the compostion is great. I'd try drawing it again. It really has potential. (I always forget about Nami's sister. I like her…...hey, know what, i think only Luffy and Nami have siblings, out of the crew.....hmmm)
Actually, Ace's toros looks too big. But still, awesome.
Damn, that's great shadding.
Ace has an A on his beltbuckle?

I did it all in photoshop using a wacom tablet… but I usually sketch it out in a light blue color first before I 'ink' it ^^

yeah probably…. and yes, he does apparently. i didn't know either till i saw some reference pics ^^
anywho......made a wallpaper of one of my favorite singers, PJ Harvey... and posted another version along with some icons in the PJ Harvey LJ community
spoiler'd because its kinda big ^^
!
edit made another wallpaper ^^ only this one is Frou Frou/Imogen Heap, and she is by far my favorite singer ever!
again, its pretty big so…
!
um… a random ZoroxRobin thing I made... dunno if I like it. I didn't know what to do with it honestly, apart from the colors.... the text is just sorta everywhere :(
um, any suggestions to make it look better? I'd really appreciate any helpful feedback =3
and I made some more wallpapers last night…. I wonder if there are any Gackt fans in here....?
spoiler'd for size ^^
!

hmmmm the sig looks fine to me, althugh like you said a lil too much writing all over the place, but still, looks fine to me.
i like the concept, but, ya design wise, it's hard to look at. no focal point, or (what's the term for it) path for your eyes to follow. What if you move robin and zoro over a bit, then you would have some white space for text?
ZoroXRobin pics are really good. I love how you draw hands by the way.
WOW those ZoroxRobin pics are SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
oh and I am joesephes, I am new here:happy:
weee thanks guys~ <3
finished another art meme yaay!
this one was for someone on Deviantart, who is a huge fan of SanjixNami. I didn't want to color it or shade it much… but my hand just said 'f*ck you' and kept going XD
PANTY SHOT!!!! Thanks, Neko!
That is a brilliant image Neko, I bow to you.
(Even tho I don't support NamixSanji)
@pirateneko:
and my failed attempt at drawing Juumonji from memory….
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/pirateneko/juumonji.jpg
OMGish, I didn't know you were an Eyeshield fan! You have made my entire weekend with this sketch! We were planning an Eyeshield Cosplay group for AKon, & I was going to do Juumonji-kun & Shin-san… Neko, you continue to ROCK MY FACE!!! ^_\
btw, we scrapped the Eyeshield group & are doing a Baroque Works group... I'm Mr. 1!!! XD
Thank you AWB and Buuhan XD glad you guys enjoy my work lol… and I'm not a big SanjixNami fan either, it was for someone else lol

hugs Thank you Mr. Bushido~ omg you're going as Mr. 1? That's awesome! I may try going as Smoker for this next A-kon XD
Anyways… I just had to do a birthday pic for my favorite marimo head... I decided to draw him how he would look at age 29, which is how old he'd be (Oh I'd hit that....) So that's why he has some scruff... I want to possibly scar him up a bit more, or draw in more lines to make him look older... Any pointers on making him look his age? I'll finish this soon I hope, I don't want to spend too much time on it because I have portfolio work to finish XD
edit
Yes! I am an Eyeshield 21 fan! I really love this series, almost as much as One Piece, but not quite XD (nothing can replace OP for me) I mainly enjoy the manga, I've only seen bits of the anime… And the Huh kyoudai are my favorite characters ever~!!
Damn thats tight! I wish I knew you anatomy, neko. How long did it take you to learn it to that extent?
Holy crap he looks badass. Also your art is nice and stuff.
great pictures as always Neko! I really love the SanjixNami one.
That Zoro pic is teh hotness!!! I cannot wait to see it finished…

Great SanjixNami picture Neko
actually, funny thing, he kind of looks like juumonji. Bu thinking of it, jumonji does look older than zoro, so it works. :) Not too sure what I can say to help you, cept look at some people, anime of charicters who are around 29.
but really girl…get to that portfolio. go go! zoro will be waiting for you when your done. ^_^
Progress so far…. I added more hair XD
Damn thats tight! I wish I knew you anatomy, neko. How long did it take you to learn it to that extent?
Hehe, thank you buu-chan~!
Ah… as far as how I learned anatomy. I just kept drawing from reference, tried paying attention to how the body works and then I stylize it however I see fit XD Also, taking life drawing classes helped me a great deal! I got used to structuring my drawings before fleshing them out...
I'll make a tutorial someday
Holy crap he looks badass. Also your art is nice and stuff.
Thanks! ^__^
great pictures as always Neko! I really love the SanjixNami one.
D'awww thank you omni~ <3

Thaaank you~! I hope I can finish it before too long hehehe

Hahaha I didn't think about that when I drew him… However I did always think that Juumonji and Zoro do look alike XD And I adore both characters lol
Yeah, for some reason (I know he's not 29) I thought of Hugh Jackman because he's slightly scruffy and he is SMEXEH~! So that was good reference for the scruff on Zoro ^^
And I will finish my portfolio work! I just want to do this in between whenever I can lol
Great work, Neko!
As to adding a few years to Roronoa's mug, try one or two very faint lines on the forehead. At twenty-nine, I have a few of my own.
Oooh thanks for the advice! I'll keep that in mind!
Wow! Sweet! Great job! Your life drawing classes have really paid off! (Speaking from my own experience, there's nothing quite like life drawing classes to give a person a solid understanding of anatomy, mainly because it's harder to "cheat").
I like your line quality – it's very callipraphic. What sort of pen do you use?
You asked for advice on "aging" Zoro realistically : hmm, I think you're well on your way already -- he looks late twenties to me!
The only thing I'd suggest beyond what you've already done is to make the hair a little bit thinner all around. Feel free to keep it long like that -- but the hair shouldn't be quite as spiky as it used to be, and it probably would have receded just a bit more at the sides (since it was already starting to recede at 19) ... At 39, he'll probably have lost most of his hair, and need to cut what's left very, very short to cope with it, but baldness looks great with an athletic body, so as long as he keeps himself in shape, he'll still be as hot as he's always been. :happy:
Can't wait to see this pic finished!
And good luck with your portfolio!
Ahhh… right! I didn't think of that, how silly of me XD I shall draw a more receding hairline then...Though he is only 29, I'd still think Zoro would get a receding hairline around that age... and yeah, you're right about the hair, I'll change it, thank you for the advice!
Glad to be of help!
Here's a possible version: round the line of the bangs/fringe just slightly, so that the area on the side of his forehead where it's already started to recede is a bit more prominent (but only at the top, not the entire way down) then flatten the hair on the top of his head just a little, and take a bit of fullness away from the hair on the back of his head, down by his neck.
(I have a friend who is a hair stylist who helped me understand patterns of balding – the changes I've just suggested would be consistant with one of the common balding patterns in men).
But hey, ultimately you should do whatever feels right to you!
And I like the idea of adding extra scars and lines -- he's both a warrior and a worrier -- two things which are bound to change a person's face and body over time...
@pirateneko:

Nicely done Pirateneko!
Seeing that makes me think what the other strawhats would look like when they're older.
Curses! You didn't get him a beer belly. XD

Hehe, thanks ^^ Maybe when I have more time, I'll draw the rest of them ;p
Curses! You didn't get him a beer belly. XD
I told you I'd draw it, but I had already started this one lol! Dun worry, I'll get around to it XD Could be fun to draw hehe
I was just about to suggest the beer belly. Well then… errr... perhaps adding more features/details/edge to his face could help. It usually works. Dunno how though, it looks pretty darn well done already.
Some great lineart. ;D I am so bad with stuff involving "age"… @_@ But I do think he looks quite a bit older, a nice depiction overall. ^^ I would say he doesn't need a beer belly but only because I am obsessed with the hotness that is Zoro... hahaha. Only suggestion is to pay attention to how his shoulder interacts with the background (I take it from the first sketch you plan to draw him "leaning" on something) in the final. You may wanna take a look at multiple references for that.
aw, are you really gonna give him a beer belly. I'm not a giant zoro fan, but he still is a hottie. I don't see how he would ever get a beer belly anyways, with all the physical activity he is involved in. ha ha, but I guess if it's all in fun eh.
Yet another progress shot… Thank you for the advice, those of you who kindly gave it!

Hehehe, yeah I'll do a version of Zoro with the beer belly… just because the idea simply amuses me to no end XD
Thanks for the suggestions!

Ahh, I see what you're saying…. I'll make sure and do that, thanks~!
Oh believe me, I am waaay too obsessed with Zoro myself... and this one will be the smexy Zoro XDDD I'll draw the... other Zoro later lol

Hahaha, nah not on this picture XD I spent way too much time trying to get that torso the way I wanted it XD
Hehe yeah, I don't think he would either, but I do love to poke fun at him sometimes, so yeah XD
wind the clock back a little bit. now he looks 40ish. :) Good job though, manipulating his age. Looks great.
