That Dragonite Sketch looks wonderful so far ^^

Pokedragonfire April 13th, 2004 9:45 AM

Flygon
 
Ooh I made a picture. Look here.
What do ya think? I don't think its as good as Kairyu's ninja pictures but its the first one I made using a new technique I found here. Hey I wanna know how you did the shading. Exactly how you did the shading. This technique doesn't tell you how to do shading as good as in the pictures you do Kairyu.

I think this picture will turn out better than my first attempt at drawing dragonite, but we'll see.

I should say its a trade secret... But its a technique I've been refining over the years, the bulk of it comes from using the burn/dodge tool combined with layering. If there's any advice I can give you its that you need to add more shadowing and depending on your style you to have blend the shadowing as much as possible. For example, in my art I like to make the shadows look almost seemless, which give the pokemon the soft look.
Problem is, I'm not too sure how to do that same effect on PSP7, since I am using Photoshop6.0 :\.

Pokedragonfire April 13th, 2004 11:19 AM

Thanks a lot!
 
Thanks, I don't know how to either...maybe I'll buy Photoshop too :)

Kayleigh April 13th, 2004 1:27 PM

Oh wow, you're definately one of the best artists that I've seen! ^_^ I didn't know that you drew your Dragonite avatar. It looks like an official picture. I'd love to figure out how to color some of my drawings on the computer. They'd probably turn out much nicer.

But anyways, I love your drawings! They're really cool, and I hope to see more of them.

Hikaru's Twin April 13th, 2004 1:35 PM

Wow, your newer pictures are turning out great, Kairyu. Keep up the good work! I kind of agree with Kayleigh though, when she says that your Dragonite Avatar looks like an official picture. It reminds me a lot of a pokemon trading card picture, it looks similar to some of the art i've seen on some cards. ^_^

DragonTrainer April 13th, 2004 2:41 PM

Now that is a very nice picture Kairyu. I know I would be proud of having that as my avatar, lol, as long as it doesn't exceed the 130 X 130 limits ._.''. Awesome work Kairyu, keep it up!

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

Kairyu April 13th, 2004 3:11 PM

Wow, thanks guys *blushes* XD I think that's the first time anyone has said my artwork is similar to the official artwork. I guess that means I'm actually improving, lol.

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

Hehe, thanks!
Oh that brings up another question, what is the preferred size you would like your avatar to be? My personal default size is usually around 100x100pixels, give or take 10 pixels.

DragonTrainer April 13th, 2004 5:04 PM

Well, if at all possible, I would like to have the 130x130 pixel size avatar, but whatever works best for you, I'm sure will be good enough for me ^^'''. And thanks again man, I can tell you've been working hard on this

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

ashley03 April 13th, 2004 5:11 PM

yep.................i like ur work!!!!!!!can i have a avartar!!(of mostly anything?PLZ!!!!!!)

Incredible...

Hey guess what, I finished DT's request today! I think this drawing out did my umbreon picture in terms of style and the background o_0. And as promised, I added the lightning... lots of lightning, *insert evil laughter.* Quite possibly this is my new favorite drawing, it looks so cool! I'm kinda jealous that I can't use it as a avatar now. XD

Well I hope you like it DT! Now on to Zigzagoon....

LINK: Dragonite (DT's request) finished!

Edit: Let me know if you want a closer shot of the picture for your avatar, that is all XD.

bna_li April 13th, 2004 10:46 PM

Well, I've said this before, but you are gettin better and better!

Evil Togepi April 14th, 2004 2:43 AM

WOW! That Dragonite is Amazing!! Wonderfully drawn, excellently coloured and the lightening adds a really awesome effect! Excellent work!

Wing Zero April 14th, 2004 8:15 AM

MY LORD! im ot worthy to even look at it...
seeing all these coool dragonite pics i have a NEW request...

*passes out cuz i might get one of Kairyu's best peice of dragonite arts..*
*dies if it isnt the best* XD

DragonTrainer April 14th, 2004 3:20 PM

Nice Kairyu... nice :cool:. Thanks a lot man, I'm pretty sure that's the best avatar I've ever seen, keep up the good work man, and again, thanks a lot dude, that's pretty much the best depiction of an angered dragonite I've ever seen. Err, also, if it isn't too much trouble, could you make my avatar 130x130? ._.'''

~DragonTrainer:dragonite

Kairyu April 14th, 2004 4:52 PM

You're welcome!

lol, that is 130x130pixels, I think you're using the 100x100 thumbnail XD. Click on that avatar to reveal its true size.

Teara April 14th, 2004 4:59 PM

Aw man!! Very cool ^_^ There ya go with the awzome zcenery again! Did you make the backround yourzelf or iz it a pre-made zpecial effect?

StarLightUmbreon April 14th, 2004 5:10 PM

I realy like the lighting effect you did for DT's avatar. It better than the lighting for PainShop Pro 8.
Hope to see more soon.

Good question,
I had the background already mapped out in my head but those type of effects I used just can't be slapped together all at once. Some of it needed to be mixed first while others I drew in details to help it look more brilliant. So its a mixed answer, yes I did make the background myself but it involved the use of many of photoshop's more "interesting" special effects. XD

Thank you for the comment!
I recently found there were MANY ways to create that lightning effect, but each had their own unique result. I found the above lightning effect suited DT's request much better than the others since the size of it wasn't very distracting. And it still looked flashy, lol.
Hmm I'm sure there are ways to produce similar lightning effects on psp8. Just google it and type in "Lightning effects for psp8" or something similar to that.

Thansk for the tip. Finding the right typs of effects for what with the effects i have now can be annouying. Mabe i will find a few that will help me better.
Thanks agian.

Pokedragonfire April 15th, 2004 6:24 AM

In PSP7, the lightning is a picture tube and is uncustomizable :(

Kairyu April 16th, 2004 3:05 AM

Ah finally another sketch is complete. This time it is Zigzagoon! The ninja variety XD. I wanted to go for something less serious this time around, personally I think it fits Zigzagoon's personallity, lol. Anyway, comments anyone?

MiNuN* April 16th, 2004 4:29 AM

man cyber killer i joined way earlier than you and you seemed to have a lot of posts.
Anyway kai, the zigzagoon is great! Make a card out of it! ... Hmm will it have a effect where you can take a trainer card out of your opponents discard pile when you flip a coin and it lands on heads, when tails the effect does nothing.. this cant be used if it is in a special condition

Wing Zero April 16th, 2004 8:08 AM

*drools* whoever gets that request will be very happy Kairyu! I never get boared of your art and each time i look at it im awestruck...simpily magnificent, theres no other way to describe it!
KEEP IT Up!

Kairyu April 16th, 2004 11:19 PM

Make a card out of it? I'll do that when the time comes. For now I must keep with the requests. Thanks for the comments everyone! I finished another drawing today, if anyone wants it as a background for their desktop let me know soon.

LINK: Ninja Zigzagoon!

StarLightUmbreon April 16th, 2004 11:41 PM

I realy like that zigzagoon. The look on it's face is great. I realy like how you put the pokeball sembol(sp) in the grass. I like the use of shadows in it as well.

Ok i would like a background. I would like a Mightyena. Other than that just do what every you want with it.

About the background, I meant if anyone wants ninja zigzagoon as a background to let me know as soon as possible. :P
If only I had less requests to do then I'd gladly take your request. Ah well, on to the next pokemon..

Evil Togepi April 17th, 2004 1:28 AM

Awwwww, I just love the Ninja Zigzagoon especially the adorable look on it's face! Awesome pose too ^^

Kairyu April 17th, 2004 3:23 AM

Thanks Evil Togepi! I was messing with different looks for zigzagoon but this one just looked so unique that I had to keep it that way, I thought the eyes came out great, lol.

Ah, I'm still awke for some reason, so I did one more sketch that might put me out for the night XD. This time it be ninja sandslash, its just a sketch of him. Again, I should have it colored sometime tomorrow/Saturday.

Comments are welcome.

Could you do a ninja Lugia for me?

Kenta-kun April 17th, 2004 5:48 AM

Woah, Sandslash is turnin' out awesum! It looks like it's gonna b 1 of my favorites

Evil Togepi April 17th, 2004 8:26 AM

The Ninja Sandslash looks lovely so far, I love how you have the Kunai kinda tied around it ^^

cyber_killer April 17th, 2004 10:21 PM

Woah! He Has Such A Cool Look On His Face!

Kairyu April 18th, 2004 7:46 PM

This one turned out darker looking than I had originally thought:P. Still cool looking though, I'm definitely using this one as a background, lol.

So what's your take on it?

LINK: Ninja Sandslash!

Kenta-kun April 18th, 2004 8:28 PM

Woah! Awesum! I think that 1's my favorite thus far, darker is better. Which request r u doing next?

*cough*Ninja Mewtwo/Mew*cough*

Your pictures rock!
 
Your pictures are even better than mine! That's a really good compliment coming from me. I'm an excellent artist, but you're even better! Do you want to be an artist when you get older because I want to become an animator, a scientist and will clone a dragon, or create a software buisness and take over microsoft :P

My artwork is better than yours? That reminds me, I haven't seen too much of your artwork. Are you going to post some anytime soon?
Eh, I thought about becoming a artist and or animator but I doubt I could become good enough to animate, effectively that is. If anything, I treat my drawings as more of a hobby so with that said, I'll stick with majoring in electronics, for now lol.

Kairyu April 21st, 2004 1:09 AM

NooOooo!! ...I doubled posted... =(
 
Oh well XD.
I finished another sketch, and this time it is Typhlosion, w00tness. I got bored drawing every Pokemon that looked more male'ish so this time I gave it a twist and drew a Female counterpart, hehe. *notices all the female members rejoicing.*

So what do ya think? Oh and fyi, this IS my first time drawing a female Pokemon >_0.

cyber_killer April 21st, 2004 5:29 AM

Woah! I Like It! Alot! I Don't Really Like Typhlosion Because Of That Fire Thing Out Of Its Neck, In The Official Drawings, It Looks Dumb (Don't Be Offended Tyhplosion Lovers, Its My Opinion) but Now You Drew Itr, It Looks Hella Cool!

Evil Togepi April 21st, 2004 7:31 AM

Awesome Ninja Typhlosion! I love how it seems to be saying "Come and get me!" with that hand gesture XD

Pokedragonfire April 21st, 2004 1:45 PM

Hey I'm working on it!!! I have a big test coming up in english and I'm loaded with homework. I'm in honors math and english and they really don't go easy on the homework do they? I'm a straight A student and I gotta do homework (not trying to brag). I get like 2 hrs of free time a day. But I'll tell you I'm working on a Blaziken. The flygon I didn't spend much time on, I was trying out how to make it. I need a better program for the coloring. I made a picture of Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and I'll post it once I've scaned it in and put it on the web. Electronics like what? I like to build computers from scratch. The one I'm using now is built from scratch. I'm even in computer club at school and the teacher in charge of web pages and computers at my school let me fix an old computer of another teacher. It was fun :)
UPDATE: Link to stitch picture I made found here. And yes, I know it isn't a pokemon. It is all done in colored pencil. If you have faster internet click here to see a better version. Here is the partially done Blaziken. The colored in part is marker. And sorry for posting my artwork in Kariyu's gallery.

I'm in a hurry but I finished the Typhlosion drawing XD.
And again, post any comments you'd like to say, thank you! *runs off to class*

note: I may redo the background since I was kind of rushed, but I think its ok :P.

Pokedragonfire April 22nd, 2004 3:59 PM

I know how to do nice shadows in PSP7. Gaussian Blur with magic wand! It blends the shadows toghether. Oh yeah, typlosion looks very nice. I agree, it needs a new background. When do you find the time to do this stuff? I'm always busy, except on weekends.

Kenta-kun April 22nd, 2004 4:13 PM

Love it! The pose is great. Which 1 r u planning on doin' next?

Kairyu April 22nd, 2004 8:03 PM

I find time when ever I'm not busy, which is usually in the dead of night (12am or later XD.) Drawing fast also helps, lol.

Which one am I gonna do next? Actually I don't know. I might do a couple fake card requests for another forum, so it'll be quite a few days before I finally finish off the last two =\.

I haven't forgotten, I just haven't had time to get back with the rest of the requests. I do go to college you know, and with that said finals week is just around the corner and I need to spend just a bit more time studying instead of sketching. So cut me some slack, I'll get it done when the time is right :P.


OK! I finished one more sketch but it wasn't on the request list, its for a fake card I'm making. Surprisingly its Deoxys, in its defense form. Let me know what you think!

Sketch of Deoxys (defense form)
Mewtwo Finished!

Edit: I also uploaded a larger version of finished mewtwo drawing I did a few days ago.

Evil Togepi April 28th, 2004 2:52 AM

Oooh I love the Deoxys sketch and I especially love the coloured Mewtwo ^^

cyber_killer April 28th, 2004 7:39 AM

The Coloured Mewto Is OK, But You Have Done Better.. Though The Background And Orb Is Cool.

StarLightUmbreon April 28th, 2004 10:25 AM

Yay some now art work. Well i like the Deoxys sketch. The mewtwo is good. The background is nice and the psychic ball is good too but seem to be lacking over all.

Kairyu April 29th, 2004 4:01 PM

Not that great eh? I see what you mean, I kinda-sorta made em' like that on purpose since I did make them specifically for card art. You see, it becomes a bit pointless to add all the nifty details only to lose it all after I resize the image =\. Doing it this way saved me a truck load of time and effort.

Ah, anyway I still haven't gotten around to finishing any new sketches (or even coloring deoxys yet) but I will start working on one or.. three today and tomorrow.. So that means you'll see some new pictures within the next 48 hours XD.

Kairyu April 30th, 2004 7:18 PM

Bleh I double post again
 
Just posting my colored version of Deoxys, I went all out on the background again, hehe. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to make that background and yes I made it entirely from scratch. Hopefully, I'll have the fake card version up in a few hours, I'm still tinkering with the attacks ;). In the mean time you can drop in a comment, if you'd like to.

The detail in the background is fantastic! Although the outlines of Deoxys are a bit choppy, it is still a great pic, maybe one of your best.

Evil Togepi May 1st, 2004 3:08 AM

Oooooooh it looks so awesome *_*

Well, I'm not sure what you meant by choppyness in the outline (I thought it came out rather clear from my point of view.) The only bad thing I wish I could fix in the picture was the fact that some of the lines on deoxys were a little "off" or wavy in appearence =\. That was my hand getting tired from penning it, sorry about that, lol.

How did I do that? Hmm well.. its realy hard to explain fully as I barely knew what I was doing, incase you haven't noticed I like doing random photoshop experiments.
It basically began with a seperate blank canvas:
  • I created a plain looking terrain face for the planet. By doing that, I set brush color to default (which is black&white.) Then I setup a cloud filter effect. With that, I set my color channel mode to the LAB color mode.
  • THEN I added a new channel to the picture, and made that into a "difference cloud" effect. Its basically like clouds but reversed.
  • With the first layer, I then turned the clouds green and brown for land. Then came the tricky part (as if this entire background wasn't tricky enough.) I went to the color range menu and with the 2nd cloud channel active I selected the darker patches of "clouds" and hit ok to close the menu. With the dark patches still selected, I selected the 1st layer which are the green clouds. Somewhere around this step is where I set the color mode back to RGB.
  • Anyway, I hit the "delete" key to erase the patches to make the green layer have holes so you could see through it and see the 2nd cloud layer.
  • Still keeping up with what I'm trying talking about? Really? o__0 Hmm, anyway I then deselected the invisible patches and went back to my plain looking second cloud layer. I then changed it to a cool surrealistic ocean blue color. Now its starting to look like a planet, yay.
  • But I didn't stop there, I then added a texture effect by using the lighting effects on the green layer. Once I finished that I gave it some brown coloring to make more natural.
  • Then I pasted the piece to the Deoxys background as a seperate layer and gave it a nice atmosphere effect and glowing edges. But right before I did that, I stretched and rounded it to make it look more spherical=).
  • The rest was pretty simple, I created another layer behind the planet layer and made a starfield effect, added couple nebulas, and some lens flares. Oh AND I also added the lightning effects on front of Deoxys to make it look *ahem* cool. And tada! I finished my background, lol. Complicated, isn't it? If you really want to know more in detail on how I did the effects n' stuff just PM me about it.

So, do you have any more questions or comments?

Don't worry I'm definitely not rushing myself, lol. But next week being my last week of school I'll finally have some extra time to finish the rest of the requests. So no worries, I'll have them done relatively soon!

*cough* Anyway, I wasn't in the mood of drawing anything serious today so I decided to fool around and doodle all afternoon. I came up with two new sketches though! This time they are both Ninja Spinda! I haven't seen too much(if any) fanart of this pokemon so I tried my hand at it. I think they both came out quite funny, imo. I may or may not color them depending on my schedule for the week. For now, enjoy and drop in a word or two on what you think, thank you!

MiNuN* May 3rd, 2004 12:24 AM

cool! The spinda looks good, cant wait for it to be colored! Arre you going to make a card out of it?

Kairyu May 3rd, 2004 12:35 AM

Thanks!
Make cards of both of them? Eh, possibly. I'll know if I do in a few days.

MiNuN* May 3rd, 2004 12:46 AM

welcome! ^^ Why arent you on MSN? It wouldnt hurt talking to me if you dont mind.

Kairyu May 3rd, 2004 1:11 AM

I would but I am doing homework at the same time so I need to stay off of msn until I'm done. You wouldn't believe how many friends will ask me what I've been up to lately, lol. Besides, PC is distracting me enough as it is =P.

Kenta-kun May 3rd, 2004 5:59 AM

lol, kewl. Those'll look really good coloured. Which request are you planning on doing next?

Evil Togepi May 3rd, 2004 11:14 AM

I adore those ninja Spinda sketches!

The perspective in the first one is amazing *_* I really suck at perception and no matter how hard I try I can never get anything to look actually in perspective XD

The second one is so cute and funny, silly clumsy Spinda Ninja X3

Kairyu May 3rd, 2004 3:07 PM

What will I draw next? Well its either Celebi, another dragonite, or Rayquaza, lol. Right now I'm leaning towards celebi as it is easy to draw, me thinks.

Actually, I also kinda suck at drawing things in odd perspectives. But after I read up a bit on it I think I finally got the hang of it. I just gotta be brave enough to try it more often XD.

MiNuN* May 4th, 2004 3:32 AM

Celebi? CooL! and I have a lot of questions for you, so come on MSN whenever you humanly can! ^^

StarLightUmbreon May 4th, 2004 4:42 PM

Yep, I'm even starting to wonder if anyone else still checks this thread XD.
But thank you for the comment!

Anyway, before I hit the sack I colored one more picture. It the first Spinda drawing. Chances are I'm gonna set that picture up as a Trainer card and the other Spinda Pic as a Pokemon card. Oh I also did not pen this picture this time around, I was curious on how it would turn out if I didn't, and frankly it came out pretty good (and bright too.)

Comment are welcome!

YAY! The coloured version of the first Spinda is totally awesome, looks like he's summoning a large amount of Chakra X3

Kenta-kun July 1st, 2004 11:50 AM

Hey...is this thread dead? Nothing's been posted here in a while

Kairyu July 1st, 2004 12:10 PM

Umm yeah, I kinda let it die already since I barely make any artwork now (usually once a week.) So now to make up for it I usually create seperate threads for each piece I draw.

But if you want to see what you missed, my artwork is posted here: http://img21.photobucket.com/albums/v63/Kairyu/

katty July 1st, 2004 4:06 PM
