*_* I think it looks gorgeous.

[justira]

Hee, thanks very much! I think I totally forgot you were in PW fandom, too. Your Miles icon is ADORABLE.

[shanaqui]

:D It was from this totally hilarious comic thing where Edgeworth was blathering on about Phoenix to Gumshoe and then Gumshoe said "why don't you just ask him out then?" or words to that effect. The artist let me make icons, but I think they deleted the original comic thing from their photobucket so I can't link. :((

[first_seventhe]

I'm sorry, I'm still drooling over your awesome lines.

[justira]

... I'm sorry, that icon just cracks me up every single time.

And dude, Sev. Soon you will know there characters. SOON.

Oh, and, like thanks and stuff XD
I've been trying to work on my lines! Apparently it is paying off?

[llamaramauk]

Well, I really like it, because they look like GUYS, which is always a massive double-plus good for me, frankly. I can't be doing with elfin-Edgworth when you're dead right - he's built like a brick shithouse in the game itself - rawr! XD

My personal preference would be for a bit more of an ass on Phoenix, but what you have there is also fine (I'm just a fan of nice round bums is all - hahaha) ;)

Lovely inking there and I disagree that they aren't dynamic. I think youve done a sterling job and really, that's not an easy combined pose to draw while still keeping the illusion of movement.

Will you be attempting colouring (which is entirely another artform in itself, I know).

[justira]

Whoa, uh, so one of my favourite PW authors totally showed up on my journal!

>.>

<.<

*gleeeeee*

Ahem, so, uh, thanks so much for the lovely comment!

I do tend to like my men manly, especially if they're manly-looking in canon. I love Edgeworth's build in the games, actually; it kind of cracks me up how tremendous he is.

Ahaha, Nick's butt. Man, I had the hardest time with that. I think I improved it quite a bit from where it started, but you're right, it's not very... full. This doesn't bother me too much (I am a-okay with angular and a little flat), but if I happen to draw it again I'll be trying to get a little more shape out of it XD

And thank you so much for your kind words! It's very nice to hear my lines might not be as static as they feel to me. I'll definitely keep working to improve my sense of movement, though -- couldn't hurt!

And yes, I do plan to colour it, though I am really, really, slow and quite insecure with colouring. I'm actually hoping to colour it in the style of official art such as this and this, which

[llamaramauk]

Ha hah! Well you may have shot up the list to one of my favourite PW artists if this is anything to go by, so right back atcha XD

[justira]

Ahaha, thanks! Unfortunately I'm somewhat slow to produce big-deal inked things like this one -- I mostly do a lot of doodles and sketches, but I'm pretty shy about sharing those. I've been trying to get over that and post more of my unfinished work to my journal lately, though

[bentapulous]

Hi there! :D I found your post through the phoenix wright comm. I just have to say that your lineart is really really well done. I saw your progress animation and all I have to say is "wow". xD lol. Do you by any chance use the pen tool to smooth out your lines or just the eraser?

The positioning is fantastic. It's really hard to draw something in that perspective but I think you got it down almost perfect. Did you use a reference for this pic? :3

Well your art just about blows mine out of the roof. lmao.

[justira]

Oh no, I just took a look at your DA gallery and I love it! Your Red and White pic in particular is so beautiful and detailed, and your lines are so thin and pretty! (Secret: I've made peace with the fact that I just can't do thin lines consistently -- but I still envy people who can!) I love your Fran pic, too, with the nice subtle colours in her hair -- overall I adore your colours! I'm very shy with colour ^^;

Ah, and I have tried messing about with the Pen tool in Photoshop and it was pretty much an unmitigated disaster. I still haven't figured it out. I did have success with the Bezier curve drawing tool in Paint Shop Pro (as per this tutorial) and it does produce very nice lines -- but it takes a very long time, and sometimes the lines come out a little too clean, almost a little inorganic maybe? I worry about my lines feeling too static, so this is a big deal for me. I admit that I cheat every one in a while if I have really really long line that must be very smooth and flowy -- then I draw a guide for myself in PaintShop Pro

[bentapulous]

I almost forgot that I had my DA link on my profile *scratches head* I don't particularly like much of the art on there but I'm glad that someone else likes them. ^_^

Actually. xD I'm not very good at thin lines myself. I sorta cheated on that red and white pic on my DA. I just blew the picture resolution really high and used a 5px brush to outline the lineart. lol. XDD That pic was a learning experience on photoshop and was ultra time consuming. D: I'm just learning how to draw digitally, most of my art in my DA was all traditional. ^^;

I also draw with a sketch underlayer and then I go over my lineart with black, though I don't use multiple layers like you (which is a really good idea btw). I really loved your lineart on that milesxphoenix pic though. It's so ridiculously clean *is jealous :P*

Also, just wondering, but are you also a Final Fantasy fan? :D

[justira]

Sorry, anytime someone mentions that they draw I try to ferret out their gallery -- bad habit ^^;

Hey, I cheat like a fiend with blowing up the resolution -- the working size for this pic was 4000x300 pixels! I've spoiled myself with Photoshop, really - I need to go back and do more traditional work.

And yes! I'm a Final Fantasy fan! I've played, uh... half of FFIII(DS), started FFIV(GBA), am traipsing around Disc 1 on FFVII, nearly finished FFVIII, finished FFIX, finished FFX, nearly finished FFXII. So, yes, I like Final Fantasy. I have some old-ish art in my gallery, and I've written a little fic, mostly for FFX =)

[shuraiya]

Holy shit. This is fucking hot, dude.

[justira]

Ahaha, thanks XD

Someday I should really come back and draw some OP art. I've gotten better, I think; it would be interesting to try my hand at some old favourites ;)

[shuraiya]

YES YOU SHOULD.

I am still waiting on the 34957839048503 Lucci/Shuraiya pictures you promised me. XD

[justira]

I- I'M AN AWFUL PERSON I'M SORRY

D-do I deserve to be punished?

Seriously though Lucci/Shuraiya is still fucking hot and I still want to come back for more >.>
