Did that topic title lure you in here? Cool. I have an art topic at pretty much every forum I go to, so I figured I'd make one here. I already have an art topic here, actually, but that one is very, very old, and if any mod or whatever finds it, feel free to delete it. I figure it'd be better to make a new topic than resurrect that relic. STARTING OVER!
Starting with this one, inspired by that "Air Man Ga Taosentai" video. If you haven't seen it, check YouTube and enrich your life.
thats pimpin good job, i like the background and the tornado a lot too!
No the title didnt lure my ass in here (though it was pretty good), i just like to comment on everyones stuff and give everyone a shot, bad title or not.
Great job with Airman :)
Kamen Rider OOOs
Cool air man. Very good 
A game is a game. Nothing more and nothing less. act like that.
I belive that, to become realy good at something, you have to enjoy the process not the result.
Done for a "combine two characters" art challenge at a comic art forum I go to.
WARIODORF! The two biggest badasses in Nintendo combined into one!
Unfortunately, it didn't scan well. Ah, well. C'est la vie.
Wario dorf. THat's godd. I like him. He needed a bowser shell to be the perfect Nintendo bad guy.
that the coolest thing ive seen all week
XD Wariodorf is funny
Kamen Rider OOOs
This is a favorite for many people of all my drawings. Can't imagine why…
Picture of a character for one of my projects.
good as hell
Awesome sexy lady :D

Well of course because of her nice hair. 
Ok lame joke but it's 4 o clock at night here I couldn't think of anything better.
Cool Pic.

FanTASTIC artwork Schmek, love the shiny-ness on Air Man.
And Wariodorf is just made of win and LOL.
Awesome stuff.

Bwargh! It's the main villain from one of my comic projects!
Yeah, he seems calm, but he's an evil muthafucka. I incorporated alot of my studies into developing real vile villains into this guy. Plus, the fact that his main power centers around death and decay helps the imagery a bunch, as well (plus having the power to decompose someone alive is just awesome).
thats really hard man he reminds me of a CEO buinessman crocodile
He looks like a crossover of Crocodile and Shuda from Rave master. But nice
They're tired of being stepped on, so these Goombas are going to war!
There are some parts that could've been better, but it was a fun piece to do!
Holy shit that is awesome!
Probably don't need to tell you all who this is…
Awesome Frizea fanart :D
Whoa, it's Frieza? I thought it was Telly Savalas after a freak nuclear accident. Excellent work on the shading and highlights, as always. Good use of foreshortening on the outstretched right hand, too. I could tell it was Frieza, to be honest, but it just doesn't have that "I am an intergalactic fop" feel to it. He looks a little too manly, is what I'm trying to say.
Great work just the same.
To be fair, he's alot more manly and evil in Japan.
Detailing is excellent…I'm also amazed at the lack of smudging...
But seeing as you're using graphite...why not try using more values?
…"Values"? I don't follow...
more shades i think he means
Your composition is great. My favorite is that Gomba piece.
…"Values"? I don't follow...
Yes, what King_Ty said, values = shades
But to elaborate, because Freeza has only two different values per body part, he looks rather flat. Take his tail for example…I only see two shades. The shadow on his tail, is very close to the other value. Even though there are strokes to indicate some sort of round wormlike quality, the mind still registers it as flat because the values look too similar.
All in all, try darkening the shadows and sticking in 1 or 2 midtone values in there.
There's a lot more that can be said on the subject of shading, but there are plenty of books that explain it better than I can.
As a general tip, after you feel that you're done with a drawing, prop it up against a wall, and view it from...around 15 ft back (drag an unsuspecting bystander with you if you like). If you or your bystander can't differentiate background from foreground, character from character, then you aren't really done. :P
Ah. Well, to be honest, I'm more versed in comic book pencilling. I don't do much shading, because the pencilling I do is meant to be inked and colored over. I'm still green when it comes to adding shadows and such. Most shading I do regularly is the kind used for pseudo-color (i.e. that bad guy picture on page 1). I tend to use hatching more for shadows and such.

Ya, I do get that comics vibe from your work. (And I'm still VERY jealous of your clean lines)
Hatching…that's another thing...
With pencil, hatching is more suited for refining and detailing existing shadows. Using hatching to actually define the shadow itself is more common with pen/ink. (Though you see it in preliminary pencil sketching too.)
The edge that graphite has over pen, is that you are able to shade using a variety of tips...you can use a blunt point, chiselled point, or the side of the pencil. (Not just the tip)
I mean, if you're using pencil, I think you ought to experiment more and go all out, rather than limiting yourself to pen techniques.
Actually, I use a mechanical pencil, so alot of those techniques are kinda tough for me. Like I said, I'm trying to learn more pencil tricks and the like, but getting into comic work has left me more familiar with those kinds of techniques.
Also, here's a character sketch I did, for the folks' enjoyment.
About a year old, but I figured I'd show it. A little sketchy, but it is a sketch, after all.
Really awesome looking :D
i like the eyes a lot for some wierd reason
Hooray for doodling!
Hooray!
Ohoho, very manly :3
WHy do all the other people in this Forum draw so good?
No but seriously nice manly cool. Good job.

Thought this would be fun to post. I'm currently working on several comics to submit for publication. One of them I'm drawing for myself. Here's a panel from it (super-sized), pencilled by me, and inked by the amazingly talented Cristian Valdez, who I am extremely lucky to have working with me on this…
nice,he looks like a vampire or something
I ain't touched this topic in MUNFS! But no matter, for I have a jaw-droppingly JAWESOME addition!
Behold, my tribute to Kirby Super Star (Ultra)!

wow, those r good, hey, a question, how do u keep the white part "non-shade" so clean, my is messy as hell, due to rubbing out, do u use rubber or what? give me a hint or advice.
I'm careful not to smear, and I spray all my drawings with Workable Fixatif to prevent smearing after it's done. Also, I'm careful not to rest my hands on areas with alot of shading. In the newest picture, I worked from the top down so things like Poppy's bombs wouldn't get horribly smeared.
I allways end up smearing my artwork by accident. Nice artwork btw love the kirby and goomba ones. Oh and your frieza is fecking in credible.
i was wondering when you'll update. I like the randomness.
I should also point out I use a mechanical pencil with a fine tip, so that probably helps to prevent smearing, too.
how interesting, I too use a mechanical pencil but I didn't know that they came fine tiped.
I use 0.5 sized lead, if that helps.
that's a kickass freeza you have there
i'm really impressed!
SO some comic drama comes in here. You see, I lost my inker for the comic submission, on acount of him vanishing off the face of the earth (personally, I believe he's dead). So I went though the arduous task of finding a new inker. Well, I found one. An amazing one. One that must be seen to be believed. So, as a preview, here's the cover of the comic book submission, pencilled by myself, and inked by one Stacy Smith.
We make one helluva team, as you can see. Quick note: the character pictured is a Vampire, so the goopy stuff here is blood.
this is amazing stuff man
