Inuyasha with Tetsusaiga

Hmmm... I guess that means you liked it? Thank you so much. *bows* This was one of my better drawings of Inuyasha. It's also a feeble attempt to spice up the back ground. I hate doing BG.

Thanks, BogusRed. It's one of my better ones. I also made a feeble attempt to spice up the back ground a little bit. I really hate doing back grounds.

Yeah most people hate doing backgrounds.

Yeah, but you do them very well. *hangs head in shame* You should be very proud of your work.

If you have photoshop, you can just put in some quick airbrush strokes or gradients to make your work look less plain. Don't go overboard with it. You don't want the background to distract the viewer from the main drawing.

Thank you so much for the advice. I do have the photoshop on my computer (thank God!). I will try to teach myself how to use it effectively this weekend maybe. There are just some things I can't do. lol

Photoshop has soooo many features to it that it can be really hard to find your way around. I hope you don't get too discouraged. There are a bunch of free online tutorials out there.

Good. I will definately probably need to look at the tutorials, because I'm so computer-dumb. I know how to do the basics and that's about it. Thank you so much for all of your help all the time. I'd be so lost right now if it wasn't for your help.

no problem, that's what I'm here for.

Ooooh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I HATE doing back grounds! I'm no good at them. That's why most of my pics don't usually have a bg. I just get tired of having it plain. Oh, well. I guess if the main art on the page looks okay, then I guess it's fine. I still have to put this on theotaku. Better get to that. By the way, is your Mario story posted on this site? I'd like to read it.

Ya, I typed my first chapter to my story today, so you should find it under the new stories section here. Ill type more of it later though, busy busy rest of weekend, may get to it tuesday though, dunno

Thank you so much. I tried to do something in the BG so it wouldn't just be plain, and I thought the swirls were pretty true to something Rumiko would do. Would you believe that my hair is as red as his kimono? I like it that way. It gives me character.*smiles* I am really pleased with how this one came out. I think his nose could use a tiny bit of work, but, oh well. I used a bit of the pointalism technique to shade in the darker areas of his kimono. I felt it would give him a little added texture. He's so hot...

Thank you, Dennis. It means alot coming from someone of your artistic stature. I absolutely love your artistic style and I agree that we learn best from the constructive criticism we get. It's how I learn and grow as an artist. I find anime pretty easy to do with the bold outlines and what not. But, the kind of stuff you do is, in a word, amazing! I would love to become that good. I guess I'm still looking for my unique style. Thank you so much for taking the time to review my picture. I love getting reviews. It lets me know that I've still got "it" as an artist. If I ever lost that spark that every artist feels, I'd truly be lost. Keep up the great work on your art and don't ever let your flame go out.

Well, thank you so much for your kind words. It means alot to me that you enjoy it so much. I love to draw characters from the series. It's my favorite anime.

No problem! I love telling people how good their work is and I am just glad there are people who can supply us with such great art work...I really love art, and I love drawing. Its something I do in my spare time.

You sound just like me. That's why I joined this site in the first place. I'm obsessed with art in general. And believe me, the artists never get tired of the positive critiques. Can we expect any fanart from you in the future?

i have alot of drawings now and I don't think I will have them posted unless I get a scanner and put them on other than that...It's really hard to tell at this point in time...i would love to post it though!!

What are your drawings of? Mine are mostly Inuyasha and other anime. I 'm trying to broaden my horizons andcreate my own original characters.

Mine is mostly of just anything I can find...I have been mostly drawing fruits basket and I do have some of just cataloges that I have of just anime.

I LOVE Fruits Basket! I own some of the DVDs. My favorite character is Kyo. He's so pissy all the time. Plus he's way hot.

I have the box set for Fruits Basket and box set for Trigun, Coyboy bebop! I love anime. I have some of the DBZ movies to, but I really don't watch it anymore...its mostly I either write fics about their charaters, or I read peoples fics about them...lol

You're so lucky! I'd love to own the set! It is such a good anime. Have you ever seen the anime called Pretear? It was only 13 episodes long but it is a great Anime. I fell in love with it instantly. If you haven't seen it, you should definately check it out.

Yea lol I love anime...and I am spoiled...my dad got me all of them...I am a spoiled brat lol

Nothing wrong with being a spoiled brat. You're a girl who likes to get what she wants. I admire that. lol

LoL!!! That is so right! lol Girls should get what they want. I agree

Heh, heh. You are so much fun! I hope you get a scanner soon. I'd love to see your pictures. It's my obsession. I like to learn from other people. It's the best way to improve your personal technique. Whether it be drawing or writing or whatever.

Yup! I wish I had one to...I had one but it broke...that didn't help at all! But I absolutly love art!!! I could do it forever! and I love anime..i don't know how i started to like it ...I have only one friend who gets into it and all the rest of my friends don't..so i keep it to myself!

Sounds familiar. I'm the only one in my family (besides my 11-year-old niece) who gets into anime or any art for that matter.

Thanks so much. I had alot of fun drawing this one. It didn't even really take me that long. A couple of hours from start to finish.

KEWL SORRY HAVING ADRIFT OFF DONNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY!

I tend to drift off and daydream when I look at Inuyasha too. ^_^ He's quite hot, you know, for being a half-dog.

i did a blow up of his head but the little swirlies were alittle lighter and the back round was brown! Saiyonara.

Can't wait to see it. We have been waiting for you to come back so we can see some more of your art. I am getting anxious! ^_^

Thank you my dear. Just wait until you see his brother Sesshomaru. *drools rediculously* If he weren't animated I would, um, nevermind. I think Sesshomaru reminds me more of Vegeta though. They both try to act so cruel and tough, but inside you can tell they have alot going on. They are like those chocolate candy bars with the squishy marshmallow filling.

lol! Sesshomaru is handsome, but i have to admit i prefer Inuyasha. Sesshy, is a bit too calm and...well can't find the right english word for what am thinking, in french it would be 'intravertie' , like he keeps everything inside. In that way you are right, Sesshomaru is more like Vegeta than Inuyasha! Don't you like guys with white hair...(drools)...Thats why i loved Magneto so much (in the comic world mind you, in the movie...i dont know Ian Mckellen is not my type hehehe)

Lis

I do love white-haired guys. Isn't that weird? Actually, I am such a little devil that I love all kinds of guys. Sesshy is very concealed. I would definately love to help break him out of that shell. Oops, Got to keep this G rated. Damn!

lol, i have a pic that'll make you drool, i dunno why i never thought of posting it. As soon as i find it i'll post it: It's of Magneto in the "age of apocalypse "saga...Very yummy!
I have a thing for guys like Vegeta, Inuyasha...i always fall for a brute , very strong looking guy, with a golden heart...awwwwwww...im so mushy!

Yeah, but mushy is good. I am mushy too. I tend to fall for guys that are really deep and have alot going on inside their minds. I'm crazy like that. Plus I love to laugh so a sense of humor is a must. Hold on a minute, this is starting to sound alot like a personals ad. >_< I hope you find the Magneto picture. I'd really like to see it.

Hello LadyAnime,
I hadn't had the time to search for the Magneto pic, i'll kick my butt and do it (i'm so lazy when i finish work that i do nothing once i'm home) There's a big holiday in Québec friday so i'll have more time to draw, search and post!

Oh me too, i can't see a day pass without having laugh out loud at least once. It's very important to me to have someone in my life who can make me laugh as much as i can make people laugh. In that regard im lucky my b\f is such a clown...awwwwww...(turning into mushygoo)...anywho... So yur personnal ad, what are you searching for exactly (kidding)

Lis

I will finish this one in a PM so I don't crowd your critique page with my maniacal babble.

I know. And I don't ever think I will ever be able to fully replicate the characters like Rumiko Takahashi or VIZ. But, I do my best and try to get better every day. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment about it. It is through feed-back that I develop the most.

Thanks, hun. I don't know why some people have to get pleasure from trying to bring others down. I don't try to let things like that get me down. It is their opinion and I can't change it and I don't expect to. As long as I keep trying to improve, that's all that matters, right? And since when has it been considered a bad thing to put our own little touches on the characters? Oh well. You win some, you lose some. If you think this one is bad, you should read the one I just got on my SS4 Vegeta pic. That was a really mean one. Luckily, MiniMaid told them off for me. She is so great. ^_^

Thanks, hun. I am so glad that you like it. Did you see the really mean review that I got on this one? You should read it. It was not nice. *pouts* They said that the anime and the mangas looked better. Well, no sh*t! They are the originals, hello! Sorry. had to vent a bit. I'm cool now.

WHAT? That's BS I gotta read it

*laughs* Thank you so much for all of your support, Kichi. I do try to put my own style into these characters instead of just completly copying them line for line. What would be the point of that? The point is that I do my best and of course they are not going to come out looking exactly like the originals and that person was just being dumb for thinking that it would have to to be any good, you know? Thank you so much.

-_^

Why thank you sweetie. I loved Inuyasha in this pose. I regret that I didn't make it a wee bit smaller so I could fit the whole Tetsusaiga on the page, but oh well. At least Inuyasha turned out pretty good. Thank you so much for the kind review, luv.

Yeah maybe you should have made it a but smaller but the tetsusaiga is so big that is u were to draw it all then inuaysha waould be ki9nda small dont u think? i like the size n everything
