.::Crystal Clair's Summer Pics::.

[Crystal Clair]

It's about time I stop by here with my thread again.
I got a bunch of new pictures and a big surprise at the end that I hope you all will like.
First up
an oekaki I did of Casey at this oekaki. Unfortunately this was the last oekaki that submitted properly. Now the PC oekaki hates me.

A coloring page of that Ichigo girl from the Ninja Usohatchi episode. I traced it btw. YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO COLOR IT, and you can color it in and upload it as long as you give credit to me for the lineart since it's a pain in the butt to do.
My first ever digital picture of Pearl. This is even before Pokesho began doing Pearl pictures. You can use this in your banners and graphics as long as you give me credit.


Here's a fake screencap of Landon..... but he's known as Brendan around these parts. I just prefer Landon better.

A sexy picture of Violet

Suggestive, but then again this is Crystal Clair we're talking about.

A picture of Harley dressed as Bugsy

And yes, I did that at the PokeCommunity oekaki and I can type Japanese on the oekaki also

The picture I entered with in the May art contest. But we dont have the results AFTER 1 and 1/2 MONTHS. I'm still waiting.


And Misty in the rain


Oh yes, I almost forgot
My first ever digital realism. It has anime traits especially in the eyes but it's mostly realism

I used to really such at doing realism. Some of my pictures didn't even look like faces and my eyes looked like hairy spider legs.
Needless to say, I feel I've improved.

Updates go here:

Wow that some nice stuff you got there girl. You sure really have some talent there! =D Hey you should submit some of them at deviantART so you can let more and more people see your work!

 

[Himawarii]

O________O

I love the red heads one too :P It's cuute~
Anyways,I'm still a fan of you're art,CC,and the ones ya got there are definately kick arse ;D Keep it up! ^-^

 

[mistywishmaker]

Yaaay, a summer art thread for CClair! =D I love the Misty with an umbrella... cute =D And you're getting really good at realism!

 

[Crystal Clair]

I'm back with my latest production
Her name is Cici. In my fanfics about Cassidy from Team Rocket, she's Cassidy's older sister. Cassidy has three sisters and one brother, it's a big family.

I drew this picture entirely in msPaint. I'm saying this because people who have doubts in mspaint can also look up to me.
The reason the lines are so smooth and anti-alias is because I shrunk the picture 30% which means I had to draw it HUGE.
And yes, I'm trying to imitate Pokesho-style art here too, as usual.

 

[Forest Grovyle]

Wow, really nice stuff here! :D I especially like your picture of Pearl, and the fake screencaps. They look like they came right out of the show! Did you use a background from the show itself, or do it yourself? :)

Great work, keep it up!

--FG

 

[Taemin]

o___o I love your art.

Those are so awesome... they're freaking perfect! *_*

I agree, I really love that Pearl one, but they're all awesome!

 

[Crystal Clair]

Thanks for all the comments!
Wow, Drew, they're that perfect? I must be getting better
Here's an oekaki I did recently over at Bulbagarden. Someone at the Misty club said it was the best oekaki of Misty she'd ever seen

 

[mistywishmaker]

^Haha, that person was me xDD I'm here to praise you some more! =D

...Misty's SO adorable in your oekaki! And I was serious when I said it was the most amazing Misty oekaki I've ever seen. You're definetly at the top of your craft, CClair.

 

[Crystal Clair]

Arigatou gozaimasu!!!
I've come here with a very unusual cgi. I asked my mom if she wanted me to draw anyone from her favorite television series. She asked me to do Kendall Hart from All My Children

And here is how she looks on the show.
It's a big change from the regular Pokemon stuff I'm used to doing.

 

[mistywishmaker]

^Aww, what a cute fanart! =D I love the wavy hair, and it's kinda like a Pokemon-style character. Very amazing art, once again xD

((Your siggy is so sad, btw. *honors your best friend's sister*))

 

[Crystal Clair]

:Here's some BashouxBuson (SteelShipping) fanart I made for the SteelShipping thread over at SPPf. I ship them mostly with Bashou being her dub gender.

Let me start by saying that this (like most of my other art) was done on PaintShop pro. I just discovered a new technique on how to taper the lines without making them look crappy.
And yes, Buson in the background was not drawn by me. It's official art I found browsing on google.

Edit: I added an "Index" and I made a new animation of Hikari

Courtesy of Imageshack's lovely thumbnail option

From Azumanga Daioh, Osaka. In a new uniform I designed. I did this because I'm sort of doing a project called Azumanga Daioh - College Girls. I have no idea what college is like in Japan so I'm doing an American style college.

Notice the quality of the lines 8D

If someone posts here, I have a few more pictures to showcase, including a tutorial and a screenshot of one of my pictures in the works!

 

[igtica]

Wowness! I love following your art on DA! It's nice to see you have a thread here too! Ooo when will you put your awesome new one up? *jumps up and down*

 

[Crystal Clair]

Well you already saw it on deviantart but here it is


And here is that picture in beta form. It's actually a screencap. And believe it or not, this is the same place wheren 90 percent of my art is dont!
Yea!!!! behind the scenes!
here's the screenshot!
I also did a tutorial on my lineart technique for other PSPers who suffer from the evils of the boring line tool. However that wont appear right away on this thread, being it's my secret. I want to keep my secret secret for a while.
Hey, maybe I'll start scanning in some of my art!

 

[mistywishmaker]

^I use PSP, too =D xD

I love the Osaka one. One of my fav. Azumanga Daioh characters xD

 

[Famardy]

Hey do you have a tutorial on making those type of drawings with Photoshop?

 

[icycatelf]

Wow, some of those look like official cels.
Good job!

 

[Crystal Clair]

Hey do you have a tutorial on making those type of drawings with Photoshop?

Nope. I dont even know how to work Photoshop and I dont even have it.
But the technique I use in PSP may be also used in PS.
When I color in an area, I use the magic wand tool (Photoshop has that), I set it to Opacity mode, put the tolerance to 150 (so those stupid white pixels can go away), turn on the anti-alias thing and just select, and color underneath the lineart layer.

To shade, I use a weird technique. I go to the color layer, use the pen tool (the pen tool is set to be the color of the shade I want to use) and I draw where I want to shade, and I also make sure no other areas are touching the color I want to shade so there will be no leakage. Then I do a paint bucket fill on 20 tolerance so the white pixels look less obvious.

As of now, I have no pictures to showcase.
btw, I may make a thread in the Photography forum showcasing the pictures I took when I went on vacation on the 4th of July. I even caught a bear on my camera! And I got his whole body!

 

[Mr. Bob]

Yay, someone drew a fanart of Violet! It looks a little off, though - her eyes should be brown and her hair just seems off somehow, but otherwise cute.

Glad you like it.
About the eyes being brown
Until the digital animation, red and brown eyes were almost exactly alike so I've gotten used to Violet having red eyes
