Nice stuff man....the MB'ed donovan is pretty neat...

Here's a few:

First person view - Use your imagination. Might need a warning on this one (not too bad though):

Another first person view - She's supposed to be propped up on her elbows, but the no arms thing still kinda looks wierd. It's hard to draw arms from that angle.

Remix of this. Kinda old, but I made it a little less sketchy today.

those are very interesting. but cool. I'd personally like to see more of those.

Badspot, I think what I hate absolutely most about you is your amazing ability at hair. For some reason, that is what catches me most in your images.

Also, when I say "hate" in regards to other artists it is a compliment!

EDIT: Hey folks, notice how I edit the original post to include the new links? It makes browsing old threads a LOT easier. Try it!

~_~; Hrmn. Way too much work... I love the recent ones. The point of view pictures are fairly amazing.

Holy crap...

You deserve a medal. And I'm notoriously hard to please.

Please, more! I love it!

Say, how do you do that thing where the line work is like.. colored? o_o ...and how do you get it so clean? ...TEELLL MEEEEEEEEEEEE the piggy commands youuuuuuu

[Badspot]

Glad you like them.

The colored lines are done by creating a layer and filling it with the color you want. Then you put the line work into the layer mask.

The cleanness is just a matter of refining the lines. I usually draw entirely on the computer in either painter or photoshop using a sharp, scratchboard-tool-like brush. Also for a some of the images, like the one of link, the original image is about 4 times as big as the final image on the site. Working big like that helps to hide any shakey lines.

I actually have to say I don't like TG art much typically... However, you do it right -- you draw the character with differentiation beyond just giving a bishonen breasts. Body size difference is a good thing to notice (notice how Gainax's zapping Kaworu gave him a bit rounder cheeks) as is switching up their clothing to show as if they were always that way. Add in an optional scene or setup that shows that one used to be the other and it's perfect.

Most art doesn't get past phase one of my approval process ^^; I can't wait until I have a scanner to use myself.

Hey, I like that. Continuing with the interesting perspectives, with effective foreshortening on the legs. That must have been tricky. And I like the lighting/ shading on the stockings, too. Very nice.

[Kumi-chan]

Another neat one. * like that view it is neat. Good work on the proportion and shading.

[Zack Gongaga]

Out of curiousity, how are you managing the perspective on these? You using a photograph, or some sort of modeling program? Or is it free handed? It's a very good perspective.

[Badspot]

I use a 3d model for reference. I can get away with it because I made the model from scratch in the same style that I draw.
