Ooh nice Ace <3. I wouldn't worry too much about the fire, though. It's pretty easy if you just don't think about it too much, just lotsa red and orange and yellow. I'm sure it will look awesome no matter how you do it. :happy:
Some One Piece arts from CoralSnake

You know I can't help but think that's a little rude Gjork, I mean I understand things like that make some people uncomfortable (Really I'm not a yaoi fan at all so I can sympathize) but that's what Coral likes to draw, if it really bugs you just don't look. Or do what I do and be mature enough to appreciate the fact that she is an AWESOME artist and she is drawing things that intrest her (as creepy as they may be sometime ;) )
Also Coral, What's the word with the Art Trade? I'm getting ready to draw you something else just to motivate you jerk.
-
Hi, I like your art. :happy:
And I have a question about copic markers…Where could I find them? Right now I use...pens and colored pencils...>.< -
Ace just seems really stiff in the picture, to me. Like he needs to relax a bit.

My recommendation, find them online, it has it'd disadvantages (not being able to test the marker for instance) but you can get them for about 3 bucks cheaper a marker

There's really a store called "Dick Blick"?
-
Love how you draw hands, wish mine could look that good in sketch form~
I do agree that he looks a little stiff. Something about the placement of his shoulders. And perhaps his waist could use a bit of sinching, he strikes me as the type to have a tapered waist, not skinny, but not so beefy. I hope that makes sense and I hope you don't think I'm bashing your art. -
There's really a store called "Dick Blick"?
At least in Illinois, they're a chain but I can't say I know if it's state, national, or world wide. I can say however that they are one of the nicest art supply stores around, they have EVERYTHING, you have no idea how long I was looking for a hand mannequin.
I do still recommend online, a single marker at most retailers is about 7.00 dollars US, where as most online sellers of the marker sell for about 3.50
http://www.dickblick.com/products/copic-sketch-markers/
not a bad price on their online store 4.87, if I can find where I bought mine at (the site that had them for like 3 bucks) I'll post a link here and in my art thread
-
Hahaha, I love the admirals in the cold xD
Ace looks pretty cool too. You've definately got his face right! I also like the spiralflames.
To me the pants look a little off though, so I've taken the liberty to make a draw-over.!
! The pants look a bit flat because you've drawn them in a different perspective than the rest of him. We see Ace from above, so I've rounded his pants a bit to follow the shape of his body and made them a little looser a the bottom.
I hope I don't come off a as cocky bastard who knowns to much, cause I know way too little and I just did this to help :) -
based on the feed back I've gotten… I have come to the conclusion that instead of changing Aces whole pose, his body shape, and his pants, that I'll just start over.... xD; cause it will be easier than erasing everything but his head....
I appreciate the feed back, but in all honestly I don't feel Ace is too chubby but i will agree that his pose could be more interesting so yeah. Starting over.
also, David D: I commented on your FB page but you never got back to me so I thought you were pissed off ;____; I just wanted to make sure what ref of you I should use, like the new hair cut and did you want new time skip Sanji? since he has more facial hair he looks more like you xDD well when you had the real face fuz! You wanted to be cooking right? with him? Sorry to have to ask again TnT I feel awful... and OMG thank you for posting a link to those copics ;__; paying over $7 a piece at Hobby Lobby is borderline rape.. Dx;
also, Sami up there ;3; still gonna draw you Luffy and Toothless Dx! I'm just so behind I should be slapped xD
-
I personally don't see anything wrong with your Ace. There's NOTHING wrong with his thickness, his pants, OR his pose. It's actually really insulting when someone takes your artwork and draws OVER IT trying to show you how to correct something that isn't wrong.
I know you're trying to be nice sis, but honestly, you shouldn't listen to anything these people are saying. Sorry, but there's NOTHING wrong with your picture. Clearly they have preferences of how they perceive Ace, and how YOU perceive him. You should be scrapping the Ace because you WANT to, not because someone is like 'Oh oh, it's too STIFF, he needs hips like a chick, blah blah blah'
If I were you, I'd just stop posting your stuff in here PERIOD. The people who love you and DON'T criticize your artwork can see it on FB or elsewhere. It's also fairly rude to come into someones thread just to say 'I hate Yaoi, but your artwork is good', like..why did you even waste your time? Do you even KNOW how irritating that is? If I get offended by something even if it's fantastic, I'm not going to make sure to tell someone how much I hate it, then tell them I love it. MAKES NO SENSE.
-
o3o;
Um, I'm sorry if I insulted either of you, Coral, Neko.
But… how is Coral supposed to improve as an artist if she doesn't get feedback? Every artist can always improve themselves to greater hights, even when other's don't think so. Critizism helps an artist improve themselves and their artwork. I'm really not trying to be offensive, but it's true. I love it when I get feedback, even if it's not pleasent. It helps me see what I can improve on and helps me draw better and become a better artist. Even in my AP (Advanced Placement) art class, we have to show our work to each other and we critizice it. And then the teacher practicaly rips us apart with her input (when she was in school, her teacher was so bad she cried when she got back to her dorm, but she admits that it helped her later on), but we do it so we can become better at what we love to do. Here at AP, we're not nearly as harsh, that's true, but we're still trying to help her.
Again, I'm sorry if I'm insulting either of you in any way, but that's what I was taught and came to believe.
-
just letting you guys know, I appreciate feed back! I can't improve if I can't see what's wrong! I constantly ask for advice, especially on backgrounds/perspective/copic coloring. I would HATE IT if someone looked at my art and just smiled and told me it looked great when like someones foot was backwards or something xDD
but yeah. I am redrawing Ace because I feel it's the best option, not because everyone criticized him. I felt after drawing it that the pose was odd, it was just odd. I want to make it better and give Ace a little more personality in his pose n__n
also, have an idea for a new years pic Dx MUST WORK ON IT. Probably, it'll have yaoi.. if not, it'll at least have Garp and Sengoku FUFUFU xD

"These people"? Wow, that was rude. I know you like to stick up for your sister, but referring to people who are trying to help in that way is plain rude and uncalled for. If Misty feels like she can improve by people's feedback, what's wrong with that? Is she supposed to consider herself so superior that she cannot accept feedback from anyone? Have either of you been to art school? They will rip anyone apart, no matter how good they are. You have any idea how many times I've had to redraw or redesign something because it wasn't good enough or it wasn't right?
I agree with Sai-chan 100%. A good artist accepts criticism and does not take it personally. I consider you guys good artists, but if you're going to get upset because people point out a flaw in your artwork, then you've got a lot to learn.
Misty, I'm glad you could actually see that you can improve it, I liked where it was going, it just needed a bit of tweaking.
I know it was for someone else, which is why you would probably want to have it look really nice. Just trying to help.Sorry, things like this piss me off. Especially since I hardly get feedback as it is, even when I ask for it.
luckily it's a wip so I can still change things xD thanks for the advice!
Also, it was a WIP, so advice could be given.
-
I know it wasn't aimed at me Angel, But even though I have NOT attended an official 'Art School' I have been in art classes in college. I've left art classes crying, I've cried IN CLASS in front of all the students, and the teacher. No matter what I did in class it was NEVER good enough. Anything short of realism that only 50 year old people with at least 30 years of experience was NOT good enough. So I know it wasn't a real art school or real art classes, but I understand the concept and both of us were critiqued VERY HARSHLY. It's the real world. I do understand that.
however, I was in college many years ago, and learned NOTHING while I was there. The teachers were HORRIBLE and despite being amazing at art in general, they could not teach it well. Everyone, except for like 3 women in their 50's, struggled to learn from a teacher who could not teach. Surely EVERYONE has had that x.x;;;
also… back in 2001-2003.. I drew LIKE SHIT. So honestly I have improved since then xD; no proof of that shit will ever be posted here though since I didn't draw OP that long ago xD BUT STILL. I do appreciate advice... but sometimes I can get so much advice that it turns me off a piece of art but maybe it's because I know I should do it different and not because so many found stuff they didn't like with it.
It's so funny this is all happening over a picture of Ace because I rarely EVER DRAW Ace... maybe... I'll stop drawing Ace xDDD
-
I'm so thankful that my art teacher is so leaniant compared to others. D: She doesn't really teach us, she lets us do whatever we want to, but we have to come up with this many pieces in this amount of time, and they have to be good. And she's pretty young, or, at least, she acts young. And, while she does rip us apart when it comes to critiques, she still leaves pieces of us so we can pull ourselves back together.
I'm gonna miss her when I get into college, I just know it.
-
I didn't even give you that much advice, I just made a few suggestions. And believe me, my art SUCKED when I was in art school. Only like 2 people I knew got away with doing "good anime" art. It sucked for me since that seemed to be all I was good at. And yeah, a lot of the teachers didn't know what they were doing, most of them could not draw to save their lives!
There were a few really amazing teachers, but I still was not very good myself
And again, nobody is bashing your art, please don't take it so personally. I am mainly upset at what Moon said, it just felt insulting to me. Since we're supposed to be friends and all.
-
Haha, my art teacher can draw, paint, and all that really well, along with her children. xD She hates anime though. And anything that's cartoon; at least, when it's not made using proper techniques, like using color, line, ect. Because, as she said, it's a fine art class, not an animation class.
-
animation is moving objects, not drawn, 2-d pictures. Or maybe I'm mistaken? when I look at my art, it doesn't not strike me as animation, but maybe art teachers have a different impression? or maybe I got it wrong? xDD
also, the teachers we had in class… OH DEAR GOD. They hated anime and EVERYTHING comical/animated/drawn like that. I even had an old bitch student ask me why I wanted to be an artist if I couldn't paint... I cried. It made me so angry ;____; I don't think you have to know how to paint a fucking realistic portrait to draw what you love but then again, when you're in a painting class you're REQUIRED to take, I understand of coarse. BUT STILL.
I wonder what college would be like now.. people 10 years younger than me... drawing 100x better... xD I am so happy I didn't try to go to a real art school at that age ;___; cause honestly I've learned how to draw better by looking at how others draw and by pictures and such than I EVER learned in figure drawing class.
just gotta tackle backgrounds Dx! MUST! I WILL do them even if they look like a 10 year old drew them with crayons ;_;
-
I've gotten a lot better going into my AP art class, actually. Although she doesn't 'teach' us persay, we just have a list of things and we choose which ones and do them, but they require artistic techniques to make them. Although, I do believe I'm pretty good at art considering I've practically taught myself until two years ago, and even then, I'm still teaching myself all the time. But still, going to school will help. Especially if I get a good degree, I'll be able to make more money that if I just went out and tried to get an artistic job. That's really all I'm concrned about.
Background are my worst enemy. hgksal;h
-
I can do backgrounds, but I have a hard time getting them started. My biggest problem is when I do paint, it takes me forever! Even if its something simple. I wish I could use markers, I've never been good with them. Watercolor is fun to use though.
I always hated it when art teachers did not consider anime/manga to be art. I've been reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and my god, that is some incredible art! It looks very western, but you know it is manga obviously. But the lineart looks better than most american comics.
-
the line art in Jojo's is orgasmic. I happen to really LOVE b&w line art SO MUCH. Not because I suck at color myself, but because there is so much you can do with pen and ink ;u; I always wanted to get better at it, looking at how others ink. I will… I so will xD I just don't feel I have a style yet. But yes. A lot of artwork intrigues me by line art alone x3 In fact, I prefer good line art that isn't colored great to terrible shitty art that is colored professionally.
Also, I agree. Jojo's is FAR more appealing and drawn better than most marverl/dc type comics.
-
Have you or Mel read the first series? I am LOVING IT! Found it on mangareader.net
Will Zeppeli is so badass! I want to draw him so bad~Yeah, sometimes b&w art is much more awesome to look at, especially when they use good crosshatching to do shading. I want to practice doing lineart like Hirohiko Araki <3

(Sorry I'm bringing this back but I feel I should clarify myself)
@ABSMr.Prince:that's rude you Yaoi hater
CoralSnake, I hope I didn't offend you with that gay-comment, I only meant it as a compliment.
Maybe I worded it in an odd way, but I know you get lot of hate for your yaoi-arts so I wanted to say that even though I'm not really fond of them either, I still like them because you draw them so well. And HOT.
I actually read yaoi etc. quite a lot, for the coughart and storycough, but I don't like porndoujins.
(erm, even I think this sounds confusing and contradicting, sorry, I'm not good at putting my thoughts into words ;_;)Um, in other words, I'm in love with the way you draw hothothot old, buff, muscular guys and perfect broad shoulders and thick necks and hands and abs and omg nakedness and they're fondling each other-
BUT AT THE SAME TIME
I'm put off by the fact that they're One Piece characters. And it doesn't help that you can draw them so perfectly, I absolutely love how you can capture the personality and feeling of every OP-character.(I mean, look at that Ace, he looks like he came straight from the manga but instead emiting that "Hello, I'm drawn by Oda" it's "Actually I'm handsomely buffer and obviously by CoralSnake".)So I'm caught in this "I love it/I don't like it"-limbo and am confused and that's why I had to say that I don't really care for your gay-stuff. For I dont know what to think of it and hoped that was neutral enough. If it wasn't, then please think that it is ^^`
About the pants, like you said I'm sure it wouldn't have looked odd to me if it was inked. Even though you decided to redraw it, I say ink it too and show there's nothing wrong with that Ace! =)
And please keep on drawing lovely old men and posting them here. -

Like, I'm not exactly a yaoi hater, but I do find the occasional pairing pretty…revolting? But good art is good art, if someone drew Sanji and Zoro screwing and I thought it was an awesome drawing despite the loads of NSFW homo-erotic loving, I'd tell them that they did a great job.
Coral is an awesome artist, and you appreciate that so don't worry so much! lol like I did a drawing for her in an art trade, she wanted Garp and Sengoku arm wrestling, I assume she probably wanted them shirtless and sweaty having a real hard time not jumping across the table and having some angry sex, but that's not me so I drew something a little more comical. Were all different, that's why it's art.
-
omg… David... I... I just turned all kinds of red reading your comment xD laughing so hard. OMG. I promise I never expected you to draw them like that... xDDD what you drew was perfect ;u;
btw D: GOTTA DRAW YOURS so I can send it to you!!
-
Hahahha I figured you woulda enjoyed something sexy at least XP if it'll help motivate you along I will totally draw some GarpxSengoku smut.
I'm really curious to see how you'll draw me X3 I'm so excited.
-
forgot to post these. One could be NSFW, it's two shirtless old men. The other is just something I did for the United Colors of One Piece project by Genolover.
not gonna apologize for my art, so if you don't like yaoi, don't look xD you've been warned. Also, if nothing else, this pic is kinda cute to me, not disgusting erotic.
!
Drew this one for New Years. It was my first pic of the year.
!
this was what I drew for the United Colors of One Piece project by GenoLover on DA. I used the color yellow since you were aloud to use one color… it ended up not looking yellow much on the desktop but on the laptop it looks ok... xD -
I like your pictures, even if I'm not a big fan of yaoi (I have no problem with it). And it's so rare to find good Sengoku pics these days, I'm glad you're still drawing him (and Garp, cause he's cool too. Old men are all cool)
I like your style so much! It's so beautiful. You use traditional tools(no computer), do you ? (feel free to throw a rock at me if it's a stupid question)I'm maybe late for this, but my favourite pic is the T-Bone one.
-
DAWWWWWW CORALLLLL XD
I guess that ace did bring up a lot of discussion. If you make another one, please give me your original sketch of this one, too!! (i will make you extra arts, a finished AND a sketch!). I don't mind how you draw him, draw him however you like! that's what makes you you and me me. I don't hear a lot of people bitching about how ridiculous and nonsensically oda draws bodies, or toriyama. XD That's the great thing about anime/manga. You can make a character and overemphasize.
Also, personally, i HATE yaoi but i still love your stuff LOL! I have no idea why, i just do! Doesn't gross me out. You must me magic.
Additionally, in art school most of my teachers hate anime as well, but they like my drawings for some reason. I think it's because i plan to go into animation and I mostly draw bodies and movement studies. For some reason they accept it. I also do well drawing from life so maybe that's why? Most teaches are douches anyhow, just do what you like. Definitely don't leave class crying! Criticism is hard to take, especially with art because somehow it seems very personal. But i love your ace and i will happily take that sketch AND ANOTHER MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Now, what shall be your extra sketch… <3 (like how i decided that all by myself with no input from you?)
-
I didn't know you hated Yaoi, Maggie D: that pic of Garp and Sengoku that I wanted you to draw for the art trade… you... it does NOT have to be yaoi, it can totally be friendly of coarse xD like cannon.
But thanks for the compliments xD that really means a lot because there's a lot of things I don't like too, but if people draw stuff well enough, I admire it n__n even if I don't like what they drew xDD
I dunno about another sketch D: OMG. UNGFLSKDGNSLDGNSLDGNKSL what about a Whitebeard? nothing yaoi!! Just, Whitebeard because I wanna see you draw a shirtless man with scars FUFUFU <3 <3 xDD
I'll send you that Ace ;u; and I'll draw a much better one xDD heheh
-
LOL coral! it's funny, since your art i always think of garp and sengoku together now rofl! I actually need to remind myself that they're not.
OOOOH i would LOVE to sketch a whitebeard. A nice, finished sketch. Mmm… very cool. For sure, I'll do it this weekend q
-
Coral is to Garp and Sengoku as what I am to Robin and Chopper.
We made people aware of it! And convert to it.
Well. I certainly think of them as a pairing cus of Coral at least XD
-
Got your package today!! eeee!! ace & hancock are so cute!! I'll work on your WB now @_@
-
no rush Maggie x3 I haven't started the new Ace yet D: I'd still love to have the Garp and Sengoku too… THOUGH NOTHING GAY just you know... cannon awesomeness x3
gonna make your ace as awesome as humanly POSSIBLE
also... Local... aWWWWWWW xD that's so nice of you to say xDDD I can't help but think of you when Robin and Chopper are shown at the same time... it's just like instinct xDDD
-
I'd still love to have the Garp and Sengoku too… THOUGH NOTHING GAY just you know… cannon awesomeness x3
; A ;
b-but…
[/whisperwhisper]
I'm sure the Couples thread would love dat yaoi ; u ;
Even if the Gender Bender thread is in the middle of a big boob war which I just trumped on…
a trump card, that is.
not flatulents. -
Coral! where have you been! come back to collectibles!! XD and make more arts!
-
wow. Haven't been to my own art thread since 2011… dunno if I'll really come back much but... I was looking through my stuff and I haven't drawn TOO much fan art lately... but I did do a few badges for a convention last year for my sis and I. Nothing special but ... it's One Piece!
we actually cosplayed as these xD I made the coats and earmuffs and yeah… still love One Piece and still cosplay is like CRAZY. Just haven't been in the fan art mood sadly. Been attempting to get into my own stuff xD but I do miss drawing stuff people might actually want to see so.. yeah. Hi to anyone new who sees this! I'm mostly a lurker sorry! GAH
OH I forgot! I got a chibi commission from DA of Hody! So.. here's that
-
… Oh my god that valentine's picture...
Wow. lol.
You're an amazing person.
-
That is so disturbing, words fails me.
-
cORAL LIVES <3 glad to see y'all back
Your art is still hella amazing ahhhh -
Yay! People returning to the art sub-forum!!!
-
Drew up a probably disturbing chibi pic of time skip Garp and Sengoku for Valentine's! Lemme know if it's too offensive and I'll remove it .. Sorry. Just sharing art

this is well made picture
the only thing, that could be potentially disturbing is Garp invading Sengoku's personal space, while Sengoku is not that happy about it. But they are two adults, who know themselves for a long time and I'm sure Sengoku would hesitate to put Garp in his place, so knowing the context of their relationship it does not feel disturbing. -
