Zarbon at the beach

Posted Jul 8, 2008, 1:22:38 AM UTC

This is for PD Summer theme. I drew Zarbon from Dragon Ball Z in a speedo at the beach. Just a quick sketch I did on my Tablet PC in Corel Painter.

  Yeah... ^^ I found deviant art way too competitive and overwhelming... this place seems a lot less toned down... and there are nicer people here too. ^^ thank you!

This is gorgeous! I love your art style (having lurked around before, and having browsed your gallery just now) and Zarbon is a gorgeous character so...I suppose it's no surprise the two go well together. I am particularly in love with how the warm yellowish color that's accenting his hair contrasts with the cool purplish color that's accenting his body. It's a brilliant match, and really brightens this work up.

  Hi HurricaneIslandHeart,
  Thanks for the comments. I didn't even realize I had used purple and yellow. That was totally dumb luck that I was playing with complementary colors lol.

  You're welcome. <3 It sounds like your color choices ended up being what one of my art professors calls a "happy accident." Either way, it turned out great.

Human bodies are tricky, but considering Zarbon isn't really a human you would probably get away with anything xD No seriously though, this is incredible. I love the soft light on him. It makes the picture look silky and smooth. Wonderful work!

Lovely picture hon ^^ He looks very disgruntled that he's getting his 'picture' taken XD

I think I'll do one for the next theme- I'm rushed to finish off my poster by this weekend- need to get it into the printers ASAP. Next week I can spare a pic ^^ Specially now my tablet seems fixed again After not working for a year, all the darn thing wanted was to be recalibrated XD Just my luck....

  if it starts to get popular enough and we build up enough theme ideas we can do it every week, but right now lets stick to once a month.
