Art Dump!

[the_tonberry]

Eh, yeah. Drawings and stuff. To all of the good artists in this comm, I'd like some serious con-crit if you please. I like keeping my style angular and sketchy for that bit of roughness that characterizes most of the things I do, but I'm also interested in hearing some opinions on how I can improve.

I really like your style; it's adorable X3

You make me want to start drawing Kevin with a ponytail. Like, right now.
CHILDBEARING HIPS FTW--wait. oh god, mutie!kev and benben get creative and... m-preg? ololololololXD It's like JFK: "and if he shook your hand, you'd make love to it for hours" (http://www.adultswim.com/video/?episodeID=8a2505951df2bc7b011dfde90393012e... )

:DDD You're too kind. Whenever I try to draw with smooth lines, my drawings look to...Rubbery. Like they're bending too smoothly where there should be a sharper angle. So I started drawing with sketchy lines and very pointy angles to try and compensate for my rubbery-ness and now it's just become a habit. Sketchy coloring is partially to keep the sketchy feel and partially because I'm a lazy little punk who needs to stop drawing at the wee hours of the morning

I'm not gonna lie, that sketch of Kevin originally started out as a drawing of my aunt. I was watching the Ken 10 ep and whoops drew the hair too long oh well let's just make it future!Kev.

ALSO. ACCORDING TO GRAVI, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ROCK BAND 2 FOR THE WII. I SUGGEST YOU ACQUIRE IT POSTHASTE AND MAKE YOURSELF A BEN 10 BAND.

Your lines are smooth in *coughfuture!Kevcough*, and they look great! I BELIEVE IN YOU, TONBERRY. XD

[the_tonberry]

That's because I took the time to erase my lines on that one. I don't know if this is standard for all art programs, but the art media layers in Paint Shop Pro 9 are a bitch to erase. I suppose it makes sense, though, since the special tools for AM layers are supposed to emulate actual art tools. If I want to get a clean erase, though, I have to convert it to a Raster layer and used the normal eraser (as opposed to the annoying Art Eraser).

I DON'T BELIEVE IN MYSELF. I BELIEVE IN YOU WHO BELIEVES IN ME. 8B

Hey, you're better than me. Kudos to you. **thumbs up** That first one's kind of adorable in its own unique way. It might be the fact that Ben is all "I've got a Kevin :)" and Kevin's all "uh.... heart?" XD

Kevin really does finally get it! Hand + Ben's bum = HOT LOVING.

Hmmmmmmm... is that ROCK BAND?!?!
And goodness gracious... WHERE'S KEVIN'S SHIRT?!?! THAT BOY'S GOT BELTS WHERE BELTS DON'T GO!
Nice one with the Omnitrix. XD

[tonks17]

Oh dude. I fail. Kevin does have a shirt. The sleeve was hiding in Ben's shadow. XD

[the_tonberry]

YES IS IT ROCK BAND. I got RB2 for the Wii and, when I went to make a character, the first default that showed up was a skinny brunet named Ben. SIGN Y/N? After finishing Ben, I was obligated to make a Kevin, then a Gwen, and a Charmcaster. :D TOGETHER, THEY FORM THE UNSTOPPABLE BAND, THE "ATOMIC SMOOTHIES" :B With my mediocre skills, they're reached the Rolling Stones Rock Legends list!

Kevin is wearing a shirt there, it's just really light-colored. I went back and checked, it's called the "Bondage Scout Uniform" XD SO THERE ARE BELTS THERE...JUST MORE THAN STRICTLY NECESSARY.

Yes, random watch that looked Omnitrix-like. :B

(I need to record my Rock Band stuff in higher Quality...I was afraid no one would recognize them)

[tonks17]

HOT DAMN. RB FOR WII?!?! (I must tell my brother this exists. Maybe then Dad'll see why Wiis are fun! And then our Wii will end up with a Ben 10 band... without any prompting from me. It already magically ended up with little Ben and Gwen Miis. My brother is just as obsessed as I am.)

ATOMIC SMOOTHIES IS A FREAKING AWESOME BAND NAME.

AHA! SO THERE REALLY WERE BELTS ON KEVIN'S CHEST! MUAHAHAHAA!

(I recognized them. XD)

[woodsgal]

I like your style, it's cute ^^.

Ha ha the womanly hips, I have the same problem...sorta...all my boys look like girls XD.

Ha ha awesome, a Ben 10 band.

[the_tonberry]

Thanks very much.

Don't sweat it with the womanly hips thing. I was flipping through an art anatomy book earlier (durr hurr my school library stocks artistic pron) and it said something to the effect of "...very muscular men will generally have wider hips than normal men..." SO THERE'S MY JUSTIFICATION...EVEN THOUGH FUTURE KEVIN IS A SCRAWNY BASTARD.

I love my Atomic Smoothies :D

[the_tonberry]

Thanks, I had fun drawing that one. Get RB2 as soon as you can and make a Ben 10 band! :DDD

[gravitiger]

I think your drawings are adorable! I DRAW PEOPLE WITH CHILD BEARING HIPS TOO!!! I loled so hard at the last drawing XD

HOMAIGAWD ROCK BAND FOR WII?! I NEEDS TO CONVINCE BACON TO GET IT!!!! X3

[the_tonberry]

That picture probably would have been less feminine if I had actually been drawing a man from the start...

GET ROCK BAND 2. YOU CANNOT CUSTOMIZE CHARACTERS IN ROCK BAND ONE WHICH IS VERY :[ WE NEED MORE BEN 10 BANDS...THEN WE CAN HAVE BATTLES OF BEN 10 BANDS.

[gravitiger]

LoLz

OH SHNAP!!!THAT PWNS SO HARD!!!X3

[baconshinobi]

OHSHIT, YOU CAN MAKE BENJI AND THE BEASTIE BROTHERS (Kevin and gwen, who's hideous personality makes her uncapitalizable and also a "beast")?!
ALRIGHT, I'M CONVINCED, COOKIES.
