Great stuff, chick Enel is pretty damn cute!
Shmeckie's Artacular Explosion of Manliness
-
-
In a sort of sequel to my Freeza pic, I drew a tribute to Cell. My favorite villain Akira Toriyama ever created!
!
It's a big'un. I'm pretty proud of it! Also, I have a newfound respect for Toriyama. Those spots on him were hell! Between the spots and black shiny areas, my wrist was almost hurting by the end of it.
-
love the detail.
That's a really awesome drawing of Cell!!
The spots truly make it come together!
-
Really nice work. Those spots and the anatomy are looking good, but to be honest Perfect Cell was my least favorite DBZ villain. Once perfect, he just became another cocky saiyan bastard with a mind for nothing except fighting strong opponents. Strangely enough, first form Cell was probably one of my favorite DB villains. I guess I prefer monsters… yeah sorry, none of that was related to the drawing...
-
Oo! An excuse to share my motivation!
I always found Perfect Cell very interesting, myself. He had the Saiyan desire to fight, Freeza's gentlemanly nature, and an almost childlike aspect to his personality (possibly from Son Goku) in how much happiness and glee he got from the prospect of a good fight. Then he goes and has this epiphany after being reborn as to what his "true" purpose is. Good stuff.
And yeah, Imperfect was awesome, too. That whole pseudo horror movie element to his warpath, the Cell v. Artificial Humans v. heroes clusterfuck that went on, the fact that Cell was the main antagonist, but not the most powerful character at the time… All interesting shit. Heart Cell!
So yeah, he's awesome. Great design, interesting concept, and he was a rarity in that he was a saga villain that got some major character development as his saga went on. Frankly, I dunno why I didn't draw this pic sooner! :D
-
Yeah! Exactly! First form Cell was terrifying without being all that strong because he couldn't be sensed and could ambush and suck the life out of you. His sneaky hit and run massacres really made the plot interesting and non linear, but then Perfect Cell comes along and ruins all the fun with his easy tournament set-up for pitting strong characters against him, oh joy. Besides I was tired as hell of that saiyan "desire to fight" nonsense after Vegeta's let-Cell-become-perfect debacle. I wanted to strangle every saiyan in that arc at some point, except for maybe Trunks.
-
Hmm. I guess I can understand that. I won't go into an essay on everything awesome about the guy (because I could. Form to form, even. Total fanboy moment right there), but I will say this; to Perfect Cell's credit, he did lose the Saiyan fightlust after having his epiphany, and realised he wasn't meant to fight, but was made to be the destroyer of the universe.
Dammit, now I gotta go watch that shit again!
-
Dang, your style is so realistic. o3o The detail work is amazing and the shading is nice as well. Great job on Cell<3
-
This one's a mite bit more sentimental than my usual stuff, but I like drawing things like this once in awhile. Plus it gave me the opportunity to draw things I don't normally draw.
Like many of my most recent pics, the idea hit me while listening to a song. That tends to happen to me alot, lately… Not my best work (I know I fucked up the guy's shoes... Too bad I caught that AFTER I sprayed the thing and couldn't erase), but I think it turned out well!
-
Something about the girl's eyes just seem…off, I don't know how to really describe it.
Other than that, Its a pretty amazing drawing. I especially like how the grass/clouds act like transition between then and now.
-
Yeah, for some reason, her eyes don't look quite right after the scan. Looks fine on the actual art board I drew it on, though…
-
…And why the fuck not, I'll post this here, too:
From the contest thread. It's me being a psychic with my art.
-
Aww that one is so cute and sad D: Gah. The second one made me grin :ninja: And now I feel bad 'cause I like Hannya…But I like Croc more so... << >>
-
Ah, the realities of growing up. I like that piece.
-
I'm posting this here for consistency's sake, but I'm hiding it in spoiler tags because it's very stupid.
! For the contest's second round thread. Pro-Kuma campaign:
!
!
! For those having trouble reading it:
! Nami: Hello I am Nami I am vurry popular! Can I have some money?
! I'm a bossy greedy gold digger, but no one says anything because we're all special friends! Even so, I have no trouble beating the crap out of my friends for every little thing!
! Oh, did you risk your life for that treasure? Well it's mine, now! And you won't say a thing, 'cause I'm a total b–
! Luffy: Oh thank you, Super Pimp!
! Zoro: Praise Him...!
! Robin: What a man...
! Franky: He's the SUPER Pimp, alright! -
I still am obsessed with the Cell drawing, but that's a funny comic.
-
…Is Frankie's shirt saying...Pet detective? :'D Oh man XD
-
i'll admit it. I lol'd
-
-
Those grills…How could I resist those grills...!?
That comic literally bitchslapped me straight across the room and pimped my life!
My vote goes to Kuma, against golddiggers !Best part was Sanji for me though! LOL
-
Hey now.
No one told me Shmeckie was this good. :wassat:
NICE FRIGGIN' WORK, CAPTAIN.
-
-
I know I already made this joke, but I've always wanted to draw this from the moment I saw him:
I figured, I always draw villains… Franky's my favorite Straw Hat, so dammit, I'm gonna draw Franky!
-
OMFG That Franky is so super and adorable!!! I LOVE his lips, hair, and sunglasses! very nice line art wow O_O
btw I like when you draw the baddies, especially Kuma xD
-
Captain Shmeckie, just a quick question. Do you draw these on hand or on PhotoShop (or some other computer program). Probably a stupid thing to ask, but I'm curious.
-
By hand. I find doing stuff with a tablet and/or Photoshop is just too cumbersome. Guess I'm old fashioned like that.
-
wow just looked at all your art and it's freking amazing keep the good work up
-
Hooray! My favorite character! Sure, it's a tired joke, but it's still well executed here. I like what you did with the nose. The perspective's pretty good too. You should draw more Franky.:ninja:
-
-
^^ your franky looks awsomely done, i really like it… props
-
That's some fine Franky Fan art there. Good job.
You should totally draw one of Franky in the mini-Merry-go, but with his head out the window ala Ace Venture from Movie 1 where his window was cracked. And have Chopper on the other side like the dog.
-
You have made a dribbling fan boy out of me. Good job.
-
Wow 030 Now that is awesome! Keep it up!!
-
Been awhile, huh? Figgered I needed some practice with drawing on a tablet. Still kinda akward for me, but I gave it a shot.
Who better to sketch for a practice pic but The Great One himself?! Not my best work, but it is my first sketch done on a tablet.
Done with OpenCanvas, with the pencil tool (because I'm a stubborn traditionalist who won't move on to inks and shit just yet…).
-
holy crap I had to read your description because I was going to call you a liar because that totally looks like a fresh awesome pencil sketch xD I LOVE the lines and that irritated and bored look on Crocs face n__n
I used to HATE HIM but now that he's back in the current arch being all bad ass and sexy… I have started to like him... a LOT >//>
that's FAR BETTER than what I could do when I first started with my anal tablet O.O
-
You know, for a guy who's always on about hypermasculinity and whatnot, your style is actually quite feathery and delicate, especially compared to mine which I'm noticing right now mostly because I'm coloring your commission.
It's not bad for a first tablet drawing. You don't seem to have trouble making it do what you want and it looks pretty much like a drawing you would do on paper.
I think Croc's supposed to have a condescending expression here, but he looks more sad. :sad:
-
Ah, the hypermasculinity thing is mostly a joke, m'dear. Shmeckie's a man's man, but he's got his sensitive side.
Croc's apparent sadness comes from his loss of faith in humanity that they would stand against him. It's depressing, really.
Also, I'm seeing a surge of people finding Croc cute and/or sexy, and it's wierding me out a bit… Isn't he a malicious motherfucker with pale skin, sunken eyes, and a disfiguring scar?! O.o
-
Even sadist could be "cute". Mr1 seemed to like his superhero uniform in his own weird mental way… Not sure about Croc. He seems to act a bit differently around his followers when he's not giving orders. Maybe he has a calming relaxed side.

Cute no. Sexy yes. I've always found him sexy and always will :'D C'mon now! You know my taste! lol
Anw! For a first tablet sketch, that is pretty nice! I love the scar the most and his cape. Keep it up! -
So I did some more fiddling with tablet drawing. This time with inks. For this pic, I played on this apparent new view of Crocodile as cute…
This is why I don't ink… :getlost:
-
… is that baby Croc killing baby Vivi? x'DD Awww, Croc looks adorableee<3

WAT!? that looks GREAT xD I LOVE that he's stabbed his hook into Vivi's head… PFFTT SNORT and he doesn't seem to care.. in fact, he looks annoyed that he can't move his arm xDDD
Croc is now cute and sexy xDD
-
Well I certainly hope the new pic didn't add to the latter…
-
For the Franky campaign. Franky love is spreading:
I wanted to extend it to include more characters, but my wrist was starting to hurt from using the tablet.
! Still learning that god damn tablet….
-
oh my god… Kuma is my favorite... he looks like he's going to kick all the Sanji supporters ASSES xDDDD OMFG that face... and he even has Franky glasses along with everyone else... holy crap somehow that just makes them all about 99% cooler xD
-
And you say you're relatively new with a tablet? Its great work so far, clean and with careful precision. And yeah, don't strain your wrist too hard, take care of em! (Also, I don't know if it helps you personally, but maybe starting out more roughly with a larger brush can give your wrist a break and make tablet drawing easier in general?)
I like the idea of pet detective Franky. And "cute" baby Croc? …lol! In an evil, twisted way that only Croc can pull off, I guess... ;)
Keep it up!
-
Problem is, I have to press hard on the tablet to make the lines dark enough.
-
Have you tried raising the pressure? :ninja:
-
I for myself, get a larger brush and put less pressure on the pen.
-
How does one raise the pressure?! Also, I need a thin brush. I like my tiny little details.
