Been a while since I've done an oekaki...

Cute pic; the amount of detail that went into both Ice and Quick's hands is fabulous. The sharper angles in the pose go good with the streams of light, which makes it nice and dynamic. The BG alone has sort of an icy feel to it. Kinda looks like an extra aura is glowing, especially around the thumb of Quick's hand. Not too sure if that was totally intentional or just how you left it while forming the hand. Nice job.

The extra aura was mainly due to the reflected blueish highlights I had put in. Since the background was put on a layer beneath my colouring, then it wouldn't affect my foreground. Unfortunatly, it also won't affect any place where my highlights went clean off Quick's hand there.

And to be honest... I wouldn't have caught that lil mistake there unless it was pointed out. I'm somewhat colourblind, so it took me quite a while to figure out what extra aura you were talking about... ^^;

And the fate of the extra aura? It can stay. Even if I decided to retouch the oekaki to get rid of that, I prolly wouldn't see it well enough to totally fix it. That and I'm lazy. =P

Hehehe...I kinda figured it had more to do with how you were coloring with your lighting effects, but since I don't know the intricacies of oekaki drawing myself, figured I'd bring it up. I wouldn't call it a mistake or think it hurts the pic by any means, I just noticed that area that's a little pinker rather than brick red and it seemed curvier than the more defined, darker features of the hand. Even if you felt like it, I don't think it'd need to be fixed. No pic is ever perfect, as much as we artists want it to be! Just how it kinda looked to me at first glance. Smile

...I just saw what it looked like on my PC and now I see that pink aura and now it bugs me. >.< Stupid monitor resolution discrepencies! My laptop screen's as colourblind as I am... --;

Kinda weird how the colour red always looks so vastly different on my pc monitor than it does on my laptop monitor... It's only with oekaki that it does that and it's really weird. Any ideas on why that is and how I could fix that?

Well, I don't know if it's anything easily fixable, but I know what you mean with the stupid monitors. The PC I do most of my coloring on is a newer, flat screen LCD, and if I'm using any lighter colors, I have to contort my head to a certain angle and distance to see them properly. And even then, I don't always catch 'em. On my crappy old PC with the giganto case of a monitor, I can see things clear, and often only notice my mistakes and areas I missed coloring on that screen. But if you are somewhat colorblind (I think we know what color gives you the most problems!), I don't know how exactly you should adjust the tint or whatever on your laptop in order to see it properly. Have you tried like having the pic open on both to compare and adjusting your laptop best you can that way? Good luck figuring something out.

Hrm... I could... though I like how things look on my laptop better than how they look on my PC, 'specially if the colour red is involved. The way the oekaki looks on my laptop is how I want to look, but if everyone sees it as how it looks on my PC... It's gonna take alotta patience and retouching to get it to match then.

Both monitors are set at high resolutions, and I wanna be able to at least print out the oekaki as it looks on my laptop so I can put it in my portfolio. If prints are determined by what the monitor sees (as I printed it out on my PC and it looks like how the monitor displays it, with the pink), then hopefully by printing from my laptop, I can have a print-out that looks like how I see it.

Too bad my printer isn't plug-and-play... or is it? Eh, who says I can't install it on my laptop anyway...

Anywho, since red is my problem colour... I drew this up for a banner for my webdesign project. How garish does it look on your monitor?

I'm on my LCD monitor right now and Quick looks fine to me. Comparing the red to both the Classic and EXE art on my computer, and in an artbook (even though I know this isn't EXE Quick), not much of a difference. The lightest red you use on this new pic pretty much matches Capcom's red for him. I don't think any of your darker shades of red are off by any means either. If you want me to be extremely picky in comparison, looking at the old official art, your first shade of red is closer to Magnetman red, while that Quick has slightly more of a light orangy-red tint to him. Like they had a good grasp on color back then, right? But I prefer darker reds, so I think what you've used fits perfect. People aren't going to be straining their eyes like I just did and say "I don't know if this is the correct pantone for his armor...that ruins it for me..." Stick with what you've got.

Oh, and a cute little Roadrunner he is too, BTW.

Ack, I totally forgot about the CMYK-RGB discrepencies. I'll try converting and mebbe saving the colour pallet that my laptop uses and see how that looks on a different monitor. I just wanna reduce that pink down to how it's displayed on my laptop; muted with a light blue highlight. I was trying to have the light blue reflect off of Quick's hand and on the laptop where I drew it, it does. But for whatever reason, view it on another computer and it goes to bright pink. >.< It's aggrivating and I wish I knew why there was such a huge difference in how two monitors display red.

As for the colour pallet I used for chibi Quick there... it was based on another piece of fan-art that Ageman did on the MMN. 'Cept the lightest red was what he used for the base colour with two levels of dark red for shading. I think. Unless it's on an oekaki, I usually base my pallets off of whatever artwork I have lying around.

I think I found a way to solve this can't-tell-scarlet-from-crimson problem, though... I saved two Official art pics and I'm gonna make a colour pallet from 'em to use for every Quick pic I colour. That way the red will be the correct shade of red and not a different variation of red each time I colour.

Hooray for custom pallets!

Sorry for the double-post. Anywho, I had just finished making multiple pallets from Official art and some pics I did. After opening 'em all and comparing 'em, all but one (the Battle & Chase) pallet seem pretty consistant to me. But seeing as how I can't tell a scarlet from a crimson from a firetruck red, I figured I'd put all the pallets together and have a second opinion.

Aaargh, my eyes! It hurts trying to compare! I'd still say your chibi red is closer to the Battle and Chase red over the Official red. Of course, that is the more recent art by comparison, so I bet that plays some role in it. Seems a little darker or not as dull as the official red seems to be. The yellows are consistent, at least all the lighter shades. The darker ones vary in orange or brownness in each. So yeah, it doesn't seem like much of a difference with those pallets, but overall, your base is closer to the B&C to me.

Okay, this really isn't fan art per se, but the photo oppertunity was just too nifty to ignore.

Earlier today was fulla rain showers. When it started clearing up, the setting sun gave everything this sepia tone, and I decided to go outside to see it for myself. At some point, I happen to look up and there arching across the sky is this HUGE rainbow. So... I grab my camera and start snapping pics. This is one that I happened to have cleaned up a bit.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43160678/

QuickEdit: Got around to fixing up a few more photos...

Seeing everything all orange was kinda unsettling as I never really see that. The orange tone was caused by the sun setting, and it made everything orange, not just the sky. EVERYTHING was orange. I went outside and it was like I stepped into one of those old-timey photos that're sepia-coloured.

Anywho, here's a few more pics. This is the first pic I took, and it shows the rainbow's colours very well. I had adjusted the photo a bit to try and bring out the colours more. The bottom row of colours is purple and I wanted to bring that out a bit more.

First pic of rainbow.

This next pic is of the end of the rainbow, hiding behind the roof of an apartment building just over the ridge. The rainbow was really bright and vibrant and I was kinda dissappointed that the camera didn't capture it that well. Adjustments were made to bring out the colours better.

Now where's the pot o' gold?

This pic was taken when clouds were passing by the rainbow. The clouds obscured the colours a bit, but I took the pic 'cause of that highlight where the sun apparently is reflecting off the clouds. It looked really, really neat. Again, adjustments were made to bring out the colours of the rainbow a bit better.

Reminds me of a Thomas Kinkaid painting...

For comparison and why I've been retouching the photos, here's a pic that was untouched. The only thing I did was crop and resize. Otherwise, I didn't bother with the colour balance and such. My camera picked up the orange in the sky too much, it was oranger and darker than it was. It also diluted the rainbow's vibrance. So the adjustments I made to the other pics was to make 'em as close to how they actually looked.

The orange sky completely overtook the rainbow in this untouched pic.

The sky is on fire!

Okay, so apparently people don't like photos much. I'll keep that in mind. Hope you like stop-motion animated shorts, though!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvbLJHkBN4A

For my Multimedia I class, we hadta do a tv intro. We could either remake an intro for an existing show or make an intro for a show that didn't exist. Being the creative lil Robot Master I am, I decided to make an intro for a show that didn't exist. So... I collaborated with Ringo on this and we came up with...

The Crystal Crusaders.

Ringo got his friends involved on the project as well, and for two weeks, we all worked on animating, editing, and creating this intro. We expiramented with go-motion as opposed to our usual stop-motion animation, along with animating at 30 fps and alotta greenscreen techniques. There is only ONE scene in which it wasn't filmed in front of a greenscreen and that was when we were using the Pigs In Space playset. The majourity of the animation was done by Ringo and his friend Fullmetal as they had the free time while I hadta attend class. Hey, if I could've ditched class to play with toys, I would've.

The audio narrative is kinda screwed up and I can't fix it as Ringo deleted the origonal file.

Of all our stop-motions, that one has the most special effects packed into it and it's not even a minute long.

Haha, thats awesome Quickie!! I love the cool effects in the video, they look great!! I cracked up when I saw Rockman X spinning on the chair and Quickman hitting Ringman while he was snoozing!! Yeah, the audio narrator does sound a little awkward though but overall its fantastic. You guys did a great job *claps*

Annnnd... here's the obligatory Christmas pic. Drawn in under two hours straight through til I got impatient on Cossack's oekaki board.

Their PaintBBS has no custom pallets I can use.

Poor Quickie, good to see you at least pretending to get into the spirit a little bit, although I understand why you don't wanna be. Condolences on your latest loss. Pic looks nice and detailed, even without any black used at all. I can only imagine what those bells on the hat would sound like with Quick running around! Very festive and nice oekaki-ing...is that a word?...eh, I'll use it.

That picture is awsome. Did you do it on some computer program or did you draw it from hand. Merry Christmas.
