[Art] Kumiko's Artwork (UPDATED 7/16/12) The Two Are Friends

Again, I can't stop smirking when I look at this. You art reminds me that it's not all about smooth anatomy or straight lines, but about feeling. And your pictures so far have tons of it! I love the context you put in, I can't wait to see if you will get my poor Kipiru into any more crazy situations

Bloody bulgarian! How can you say the same sort of thing I thought that much better than myself managed to! Unfair!

AAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA....draws breath...AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That made my day- you're OK VAE!

KumikoTsumi · December 27, 2011, 05:05:08 PM

Aww, thanks

When I first started drawing I only drew faces and kept practicing facial expressions, guess it just comes naturally to me

Well, I'm off to draw MORE pictures!
As E is saying in the drawing....I feel....FESTIVE!

e_voyager · December 28, 2011, 02:26:08 AM

Indeed i do. i seem to have a bit of a robot blush going on in this pic. nicely done

KumikoTsumi · December 28, 2011, 11:24:41 AM

Why thank you

KumikoTsumi · February 18, 2012, 03:57:45 PM

Hoo,boy...I've been away from this site for a long time...and my anatomy didn't get better but oh well, just keep on practicing... anyway here's my newest artwork for African American month....

"Steal Me Away" Reading teacher....Y U influence my work?

Kipiru · February 20, 2012, 12:53:29 PM

This actually shows great improvement. I love the dynamic pose and the effects on the hair. You are definitely getting better at coloring and inking

KumikoTsumi · February 20, 2012, 09:24:09 PM

Thank you!

It's amazing what tutorials can do for me... I still think I might've made her too thin and too muscle-y at the same times...and it sort of looks like she might get knocked over by a leaf...the hair was fun to color though...

Inumo · February 21, 2012, 12:11:13 AM

I wouldn't worry too much about her proportions and overall size. I know plenty of people who are very skinny with a lot of tone to their muscles, so it looks fine to me. Interesting that African American month inspired you to draw her; she looks quite pale. The offset positioning of the drawing as a whole is interesting, though the way her shoulders are facing make it look more like she's hanging from something during a windy day instead of being pulled off screen (assuming that was your intention). On a side note, because of that, when I saw her hair my first thought was "I mustache you a question". ^^; The pose overall seems kind of awkward, albeit possible, since her back and shoulders seem to point towards her right (our left) while her hips (and thus legs) seem to face the "camera" due to the fact that you can see a fairly large portion of her left leg. However, the eyes are very expressive, and I like the fact that you denoted the collar bone. Hope this all helps!

It's good to see you back Kumiko. also what's steal me away? i've not see that.

KumikoTsumi · February 22, 2012, 09:48:47 PM

Thank you Inumo! I'll be sure to take more notice in the future. And e_Voyager, Steal Me Away isn't actually a movie..hehe..african slaves used to sing a song called "Steal Away" that indicated they were about to run away...or that's what my reading teacher told me...

KumikoTsumi · March 10, 2012, 04:49:29 PM

Reo Khan!
Shinigami!
"If you want to die, step forward"
Meh, it was actually a sketch at first, but I decided to color it.
HE HAS TEH LIGHTNING POWAHS!!!

So, it's been WAY too long. School's almost over...and I have two new artworks...but they're for contests. Anyway, here's a quick look at them.
Winry Rockbell and the Ishvalan War from Fullmetal Alchemist!!!

For United Nations...there is this contest about nukes, so here's mother nature...?

Oh, and the description for this one...

Her hair clashes with fire and water. Her eyes are like the sun. As she holds Earth deed in her arms like a mother, she glares at the history of the nukes. The death it has caused and the pain. But deep inside, she knows. She knows the Nukes will be destroyed, and will wait for the day it will.

Ignuus66 · April 29, 2012, 07:38:24 PM

But I digress, nukes can be used for good too! (think space exploration, a relatively clean energy source if we can contain it.. ect...) Humans just have a tendency to make the worst out of a good thing.
(also they stopped a world war 3 from breaking out, but that's debatable)

But about the art, your use of colors is very vibrant and imaginative, and you are REALLY good at drawing hair. (you earned yourself a new fan

)

Ignuus - not nukes as such, you are thinking nuclear energy.

However, the soviets have used nukes for mining and digging before, as I have read, and now that is bloody awesome.

Kumiko, I like the stuff as well, and second what was said about the colours. One thing - the earth seems to have a little too much, and differently organised continents - didn't recognise it at first.

KumikoTsumi · April 29, 2012, 09:14:23 PM

Thank you! Hair has always been my strong suit...? I just realized my art teacher told me to fix the Earth but I forgot...shoot, thanks for reminding me. I shall go fix it now!!!

Have you ever heard of the (original) orion project? (also known as nuclear pulse propulsion) It (basically) consisted of throwing nuclear bombs behind the spacecraft every second, (it was proven to work using a mock model, the craft would NOT have exploded) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Lxx2VAYi8

Now, a trial design of this spacecraft could have been crewed by 200 people, and been several thousand tons, and could have gone to mars and BACK in 4 weeks. (current FASTEST rockets would be 12 months, and substantially smaller)

However, it would be capable of so much more. Using materials available in the 1960-s, you could build a spacecraft that weighs 800 million tons, and has a carry capacity exceeding the massive carrier ships in water. IT would also be capable to accelerate to6-10% the speed of light.
At that speed we could reach a star WITHIN a human lifetime, and keep in mind this is with materials available in 1960.... This is known as the ONLY method of interstellar travel available to us (currently)

The only main problem with this is that it would need to use nukes to get off the ground too... Which would (hypothetically if launched in the middle of a massive uninhabited area) still cause enough radiation to kill 3 people.... But Overall there are things we use everyday that kill way more.

Also the fact that the nuclear test ban treaty does not allow the detonation of nukes above ground and in space might be a problem, not to mention the fact that any sattalite in it's way would be toast, and it may cause large emp to nearby sattelites too.

Anyhow this would be a very..... Human way of travel

Back to the drawing: I don't think the earth really needs to look like earth, it just needs to symbolize it, as the entire drawing is already full of symbols..

justacritic · April 30, 2012, 10:25:54 AM

Anyway sis nice use of a film reel in her hand depicting human history, that's not an easy effect to bring out.

KumikoTsumi · July 13, 2012, 12:11:01 PM

OTL The arms are too short. QAQ

I thought maybe I'd ask for more anatomy advice before I made this a full artwork. Anyone wanna critique this blinding sketch?

KumikoTsumi · July 16, 2012, 11:29:54 AM

For my roleplay group...I think I did okay on the wolf, seeing how I never drew one or studied one before... hehe...

Tapewolf · July 16, 2012, 11:50:03 AM

The muzzle is a bit short, but that's the only thing which really strikes me as being off. Ears could be longer. I do love the fluffy look, though.

KumikoTsumi · July 17, 2012, 09:16:52 AM

Longer snout and ears? Duly noted
