Roll's Art and Things

Roll Soul · Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2005 6:23 pm Post subject: Roll's Art and Things

3/05-- Trigger and Data drawing, and RMZ Zero pic added.
Request line currently open.

For a couple days now, I've been planning a fan Navi in my head, and just drew up a few pics of him today. Right now his name is Mizuman.EXE, but like anything else about him, that can and probably will change in the future. Heck, I've been known to still edit characters that're 5 years old or more xD So nothing about any of the following pictures is final... Plus I'm no good at things like shading ^^;;... Anyway, enough rambling. Pic time =P

This was the first pic I did of Mizuman, and was mostly to work out his colors and general design. Although you can't really tell in the pic, his eyes are green. And it took me FOREVER to get his feet to look halfway right ^^;;

Another design-pic, but from the front this time. You can see his chest symbol a bit better, as well as the stripes and such. I kinda messed up on his gloves, as well as the lead-in from the ear fins on his cheeks (they're curved the wrong way). The eye shape will probably stay like that, though, rather than the more oval sort. Also, the shading around his horn is the beginnings of his base, battle chip-less attack, which is kind of like a lightning bolt but...not. It's also unnamed right now ^^;

After doing the Mizuman pics, I decided to sketch out a possible "Mizu Soul" look. The sketch eventually turned into a finished pic (although I may color it in the future). I also may give the regular Mizuman hair in the future... The general design just looks better that way =P And yes, I know Megaman's boots go to his knees (a mistake I made in another pic I posted here). The boots in the Mizu Soul are supposed to look like that =P

Out of all four pics, I think this one is my favorite ^^ Not only because it actually looks like Megaman after a Soul Unison (to me, anyway), I also like the humor of it. It's a quick sketch of a mental image I had while doing the first Mizu Soul pic, of Megaman's initial reaction to the design. Heh heh xD

Wow, I ramble a lot about each pic ^^; Ah well.

I find that when someone rambles about the picture, it actually gives you extra insight to the picture. It's interesting. ^_^;

Mizuman has a really awesome design, and the second Mizu Soul picture is hilarious, especially Rockman's expression. I like the tail. :3

Very good job, Mizuman is awesome looking. I've always liked your art, though. :-p

Iceman.EXE-- Thanks! Heh, while I was coloring the first Mizuman pic, I was thinking his design was "Pokémon meets Megaman meets Code Lyoko" and anyone who knows all three series, like I do, would probably be inclined to agree xD; As for the second Mizu Soul pic, I think the expression is half the reason I like it so much ^^

Sharkman-- That you have, Sharkman. That you have =P

....I just realized I left off the glove fins in the second Mizu Soul pic. And the stripes on his helmet in the second Mizuman pic x___X; Whoops...

Cool a fish navi and matching soul (with joke). Nice job.

This is something I sketched out about 10 minutes ago, after aimlessly wondering what Roll might look like fused with Mizuman.

So I drew it out.

I like the way it came out, although the design'll probably change in the future ;P I'd say the part of it I'm most pleased with is the curve of her body/torso--I am normally no good at drawing women of any age, but going on pics like this, I think I'm getting better :]

This is also keeping in mind that, outside of an AU Roll cross fusion I did a couple days ago, I've never even DRAWN our dear pink Navi ^^;;

\o/ Yay, Mizu Soul for Roll! I personally like this one better than the Mizu Soul for Rockman, but maybe that's just me.

Also, I saw that AU Roll Cross Fusion, and that's also nice, although the face seems a bit too...angular is probably the best word. The chin should be a bit more rounded, possibly.

Hey cool he has hair now. The megaman without a helmet is good too.

I've been doing more Megaman sig banners lately (although two of them are only fit to actually be used) and...while they're all of the same 'quality' (=P) of my current one, you guys can feel free to use any of the ones I post up XD Someone's gotta like them, right? ;P

Oh yeah, and typically in my sig banners, the text is rarely SPECIFICALLY about the images; the images are often used to just enhance the whole thing. There are ones where the text is about the images though. Judge for yourself which is which =P

(I also realize the first two are a little wide. Whoops... I'll resize the non animated one and repost it at a future time)

This one is the one that is NOT supposed to be actually used as a banner. Why? Its sheer SIZE. The delay was also supposed to be faster, but again for the size I had to speed it up, plus remove two frames. This was done the other night after a flash-inspiration while looking at screencaps from one of the last episodes in Season 1. The questions are like one friend to another, asking about how deep the bond goes... Personally, my favorite frame is the "Afraid" one XDXD Sorry about the grainiess--GIFs do that x___X;

This is what I originally thought of when getting the inspiration for the above image. For that reason it's the only one that I think does alright as a standalone banner, although any of the frames will do =P (If any of you want one of the frames for your sig, just ask and I'll give you the seperate--and better quality--image).

I did this one about 5 minutes ago, but had the idea for it a few days ago. I....don't know if the text is specific about the pic or not, but whether it is or not, it fits =P I know it's hard to read, sorry ^^;;..... Ahh, Rock/Roll....yay XD

Sorry about the double post; maybe someone will respond to this one XD;

Anyway... Proof that not having a scanner can't keep me down!.... Even though I hate drawing with a mouse x_X; Seeing this pic may tell you why ^^;

This is just something I scribbled up on an oekaki board about 5 minutes ago. The pic itself took about 50 minutes according to the board's timer. Yeah the background is a cop-out, but I didn't know what else to do ^^; And it looks weird yeah; I was originally going to lighten the entire thing, but then saw that the halfway-there look looked alright... Well, to me anyway. And yeah, the ear fins are extremely mishapen but hey, this is only my second drawing of Bass with his helmet on, and I am not exactly skilled in drawing on the computer =P

Oh yeah, I know the shading is off. Or didn't you know that I can't shade? ^^;;

Don't worry about doule-posting, as long as there is an update :] .

Drawing with the mouse can be a pain in the you-know-what, but that shouldn't stop you at all (like you said). Practice can make up for some lack of equipment, in my opinion. Anyway, that Forte pic looks fine for a mouse drawing. That, and the fact that you spent almost an hour on it proves your patience with the mouse.

As for your shading, you still can improve on that, as long as you're willing to. Keep it up.

Way to go, dude!!

I liked them all, but my favorite surely is the animated banner. It's simply touching.

Roll Soul · Posted: Thu May 12, 2005 10:45 pm Post subject:

Thanks for the new comments! ^^ DSX, glad you like the banners, that's the first reply I've had about them here =P And I've still gotta resize the non-animated one for use XD;. N2-0, thanks for what you said as well. At least the effort I put into it came through huh? It's better than many of my previous mouse-drawings =P

Speaking of mouse drawings, this one is...kind of one. I originally hand drew it, then scanned it in and redrew the lines my scanner didn't translate. You can read the full description on it over at DA.

Oh yeah, it's Jack Spycer (Spyser? Spicer?) from Xiaolin Showdown. First completed drawing of him, too ^^

Edit: Oh, almost forgot, I made an avatar from the Forte pic. Yay? XD ^^

Nice work! Mizuman looks cool, as well as your other drawings. The banners are great as well. Keep it up!

Hmm... I think his named is spelled as Spicer. Anyway, it's good for a mouse drawing. Maybe you could color it in?

Oh yeah, Raimundo is the best if you ask me.

Sonicsurfer-- Thanks! ^^ One of these days I might upload a new pic of Mizuman... If my scanner decides to work, I'm going to upload the one I did of both Mizu and Mizu Soul Megaman in the same pic...

N2-0 Night-- Well, I've seen Jack's last name spelled so many different ways (even in official things if I remember correctly) that it's hard to keep track ^^; But yeah, I do plan on coloring it ^^ And Raimundo rocks, but second only to Jack in my mind (although it's a very close race ;P xD)

Woo, new updates! Well, kinda XD; My scanner is still broken and any drawings I try to do on the computer are worse than my usual ones, so I've been doing sig banners again... These are actually sizes you can use! (Well the second one is anyway, I think) See each for individual comments about each =P

I've been in a Lan/Maylu mood for a while, so I wanted to do a banner featuring the two. However, we have plenty cutesy ones, so how about one with a little tough love? >D. If you look closely you may see lightened lines around the left and bottom edges...I dunno what those are, I just added them after everything else ^^;.. I realize the "O" of "tough" is hard to see against Maylu's hair, I may give it an outline later...

This one....THIS one gave me a lot of trouble. Mostly because I couldn't get transparency to work, and just added little squares to offset the other side ¬.¬; If someone who actually has Photoshop would like to help me out, I'd be very grateful =P ^^;; (Oh yes, and it is not a Videoman/MegaLan (my name for CF Mega) image, it's just a pic that I wanted to use for something and picked it for this XD)

Feel free to use either one if you want. And I'll ehh, add drawings next time ^^;;

Nice pics, RollSoul!!

The first one is funny, and the second is... er... umm... undescriptibly strange, but cool.

Keep it up!
