Geckojira's Sketchy Things

[Thorn]

O_O

Woooooo!

Im scary!

[Alyta]

Ooh, that's great! Rose looking angry and actually rather badass. No offense intended, but she just comes across as sweet and nice, and not the female counterpart to Thorn.

Your DA gallery is brilliant, Gecko. The image of Corrigan is amazing and ... I'm hesitant to say this, better than the composite pic with both sides in the picture. *hugs* Draw more! ^_^

[Erick Guardian]

That comic was halarious! It has a very sarcastic feeling to it. Keep it up man. Oh, and I love that one of the character's names is Ethan. That happens to be my first name, and there aren't enough of us around. =P

[Raijin]

She kinda looks like Buu o.o

[Geckojira]

Yay, I finally have a site for my web comic! For the moment, it's entirely off-topic to the MSF forum, but someday (though I can't promise soon), I'm positive there'll be an on-topic character making an appearance in the strip. =>

So if you're curious, head over to Always Tomorrow. It's still a very rough site, and I already posted the strip on display, but hey. It has an update schedule of MWF, so it's only another day until new material! =o

Now, to wait for Zack to participate in this grand scheme... ;>

[Deathscythe13x]

looks good Gecko.

Simple yet good. Can't argue with that.

[Sia]

Hm... interesting...

*Looks over the recent stuff, and then twitches...*

So awesome...

Adam then falls over due to a core failure.

he likes it! he likes it! he likes it!

Ooooh! I've picked up doing MSF-related art again, thanks to my need to learn CGIllust. From strips 3 and above (not posted yet), Always Tomorrow is done entirely by tablet using CGIllust to draw/color each panel, and Photoshop to put it all together and add the text. So it's been pushing me to learn how to better use a tablet (it's been collecting dust for half a year since I got it. =p), so I figured I might as well draw someone's character for an exercise. =D

Sadly, my work on it has been interrupted by the need to run errands that take me away from my computer. But I can at least post a "progress" image!

Who could it be?

See? That's how I'm trying to color things now. I used to always use Photoshop and just use paintbucket or lasso tool to fill in an area with color. Now that I'm doing everything on computer, I can actually have the outline as another layer, which makes coloring underneath much easier. =) Now it's a matter of erasing meticulously instead of coloring in meticulously. Blah. =o

Those smudges in the upper left corner make up my palette so far. =I I also turned down the opacity of the rough-sketch layer, so it doesn't look -quite- as messy, but it still lets you see my sketchiness. XD

I'll get back to coloring it tonight, hopefully. =>

Note: Always Tomorrow updates on a MWF schedule, and I promise, it doesn't look _as_ crappy by strip five! Shameless plug. =D

[Alyta]

I've no idea who the picture is of, but the linework on her face is wonderful, lovely and smooth and perfectly contoured. ^_^

[Thorn]

O_o i feel sorry for that guy in your comic!


And is that Kou?

[Geckojira]

To Thorn: Yesh. => He's a fellow with very ill luck (one can also say that about Katrina). The moral of the strip is that no matter how bad today gets, there's always a tomorrow. So while it's... darkly humored, there's always some sort of silver lining! It's just not... visible yet. XD And nope, not Kou. =I

To Alyta: Thanks! I've been learning that it's hard to get a smooth contour using the tablet (at least for me so far). =I It takes several clicks of the undo button shortly after trying a quick, smooth sweep. => It's luck!

To Raijin: Oooh. You're right. She does look like Buu! Poor Katrina. It's a good thing that she'll never get that fat. =)

As for who the image is of, I'll give a clue and an updated progress image. => I tend to draw people who've either posted in this thread already, or whose artwork/character description manages to grab my interest. So maybe that narrows it down... a little?

Recognize her yet?

Pretty much just cleaned up the colors, tightened up the linework, and laid it all out for shading and highlighting in a bit. => I'm really learning to like this CGIllust program, although I'd still prefer Painter 8. ;> And on that note, off to dinner (and more painting). This new technique takes much longer than I'm used to. @_@

[Kumi-chan]

Wow. That looks good. Nice use of colors.
