Hyotei DL3
By moon_wolf363 at 2009-08-28
HaHa! Finally finished! I've been working on this picture on and off for the past several months.
Here's the Hyotei boys in all their proud glory wearing their outfits from Dream Live 3. Is is a product of loving PoT, loving Hyotei, watching DL3 one to many times, and wanting to do a big project coloring project.
This was created completely on the computer unlike 85% of my works which are usually drawn on paper (usually during class) then scanned and colored. This is why some of them seem proportioned strangely relative to the others... since I usually work zoomed in on the computer and therefore can't match up sizes of heads very well.
I had originally wanted this done in cell shading but I had problems with everyone's hair so I did a gradient shading... then since the hair looked way to detailed I had to go thorough and re-shade everything else in the picture.
I did this by row... Hiyoshi, Gakuto, and Jirou make up the front... Oshitari, Atobe, and Shishido the middle... and Kabaji and Choutarou in the back. So that means I actually did draw each character fully (Or at least up to their knees) and if anyone want to see them all individually let me know. I might do something with them later anyway....
Each character had things I loved how they turned out and things that I know turned out funny.. and since I'm ranting already I just go through each of them and say what parts I liked/turned out best... what I didn't like/wish that I could remake... and anything interesting I noticed/found while making them.... I'll start on the left for those of you who don't know who the characters are.
==========
*Hiyoshi* - Piyo! I think he ended up one of... if not the best of the boys done.
Liked- Pretty much all of him but specifically I like how his hair and scarf ended up.
Disliked- His nose ended up looking slightly off when I switched to gradient shading.
Interesting- His jacket actually has slightly see through patches which where hard to keep when I was shading.
==========
*Oshitari* - I think he was the one what benefited most from my switch of the type of shading
Liked-normally I hate drawing hands but I actually like how his turned out
Disliked-You can't really see it but I made his hips a bit to wide and he doesn't look tall enough... though that may be Atobe's head's fault
Interesting- He's actually wearing a silver chain on his pants on the left side.
==========
*Gakuto* His scaling compared to the others is so off... let's just say that he's a lot closer and leave it at that...
Liked- Loved the way his shirt came out
Disliked- The ends of his hair... I could not figure out where they were going... though I did manage to fix his bangs
Interesting- that blue thing around his waist... I'm still trying to figure out what it's supposed to be... I though it was a jacket but then it's slightly see through... so I'm not sure
==========
*Kabaji* The poor guy sot so messed up somehow...
Liked- His bandanna turned out nice
Disliked- ... where do I start... aside from the obvious his left eye got positioned up to far his hands are horrible... my only consolation is that you don't have to see them
Interesting- not much else to say about him...
==========
*Atobe* Bucho! Let's all be awed.
Liked- His hair... at first I was making the curls too long but I finally got it the right length
Disliked- the hand you can't see... be glad that Gakuto is standing where he is... and the fact that proportionally his head is way to big
Interesting- if you notice during the DL when Kazuki come back on stage to present the flowers and certificates to Cast2 he is no longer wearing the white jacket... and doesn't put it back on for the rest of the performance
==========
*Jirou* Little ball of adorableness
Liked- Loved how the scarf ended up and the brown mesh shirt
Disliked- his hand holding the scarf... to bad I couldn't cover that up
Interesting- Takuya was constantly pulling his sleeves up and down throughout the DL
==========
*Choutarou*
Liked- His hair and all of his shirt apart from the sleeves
Disliked- His hands... luckily they got covered
Interesting- He's yet another one with a chain on his pants... his was on the right side and had another cross attached to it
==========
*Shishido* He's my favorite character but drawing him always turned out being a challenge
Liked- I loved how his pants ended up... though I did have to use a different shading style (dodge and burn) to shade them when I converted
Disliked- his hat... I redid it twice and I still can't seem to get it too look right. and his hand... though I fixed it slightly it still looks messed up.
Interesting- He also had a chain on his pants but I kinda forgot to add it in... and during the DL Kenken wears a different hat the right way around but I like his traditional cap better.
