[Art/Poetry] Xze's Corner of Insanity-12/13-WIP

[WhiteFox]

That is it. I am so making a hand tutorial.

If you post any drawings you have attempted, I'd be happy to comment on them.

[Nikki]

That's a good idea, Ly =D I'll definetly attempt that.

=OO And i would worship the ground you walk on, Fox.

And now for something completely different.

Can i be proud? It's still a WIP seeing as the collar needs coloring, lines erased and thinned, etcetera, but Oh lord am i proud of this 

[WhiteFox]

The whole head is really good. I like the chin, mouth, eyes, and hair especially.

I think the crook of the thumb needs to be farther back, though.

[Nikki]

Crook of the thumb...crook of the thumb...Where would that be?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

The base of the thumb.

If you look at your thumb, on the outside, you can see two bends in it (when you've got it bent, obviously). The first one, where the web of the thumb attaches to the hand, is, I think, what he means.

Of course, there's also the pad on the other side. Hold your right hand in the position in the image, and look at where the outside edge of the hand is put together - the heel of the hand, and where it merges up into the pinky finger. Compare that to how the thumb creates shadows over it, and how the bulges all fit together.


Bear in mind that the hands are about the most complex part of the body, barring the brain, so people tend to pay attention to them. At least, so I find...

[WhiteFox]

*Blink blink*

Waittaminnit. I have that wrong.  That's not the thumb, that's the index finger.

Okay, so, *that's* the thumb there... I thought it looked weird for the heel of the hand.

Wait, that means the... Buh... Uh...

*Facepalm* Mmkay. I had that backwards and inside out. Overall the thumb doesn't have enough mass and length. The heel especially, and the crook of the thumb (By which I mean the inside curve, where the webbing goes between your thumb and palm). I am going to have to make that hand tutorial some time.

[Nikki]

*Twists and turns her hand to see the position*...OH!!! I see!! Alright i'll try to fix that...After i thin the lines to see if that helps or not of course. Thanks Boxy ;P

Alright so.. add the crook and...make the pads more pronounced right?

[NDDR]

nice art although i got confused on which side the thumb was.

[Nikki]

*huggles* i kinda confused myself a little bit ^^;;

Now i have a question. Would it be alright for me to post up a fanfiction im working on, or would that not be considered 'art'?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

You may or may not have noticed, but several other people have been doing just that...

[Nikki]

...*searches through*

ASSUMING the mods are alright with it happening, would i continue to just post in here or make a new thread?

Oh, and Thanksgiving arts. Ish.

DANGER..Neejuh in box =P

It's gotten hard for me to draw Xze lately ><

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

If I was you, I'd post it in here. Over to you, though; as long as you don't have half a dozen threads on the go at once, you're probably ok.

[Nikki]

Alrighty i'll just post 'em in here. Thanks Boxy

0-0 eep, i better work on the first post/directory.

Edit: i lied to you Boxy. I have sinned.

[Nikki]

whoo! i live!

Just a WIP

[techmaster-glitch]

Looks like one of those poses where there's a super-strong hero trying to prevent something from falling, or maybe he's gearing up to throw something really heavy, or maybe he's charging up his Ultimate Blast attack

[Nikki]

Mmmmmm...i'm actually going for a leaning-away-from-the-wall-but-is-chained-there pose =)

[techmaster-glitch]

Oh yeah, I see.

...

What the hell do you have in mind that made you need to draw that?

[Nikki]

Hmmm...I'll have to say...

This

[techmaster-glitch]

Hmmm...I'll have to say...

This

Yeah, thought it'd be something like that...
