Oh scary scary~

Seeing as I recently (like, a month ago) gained the title of Artist+++++ I figured it'd be a good idea to start my own thread (although I have serious doubts on the quality of my own artwork) despite half of my stuff being really old or only half finished. That being said, I feel it is a good idea due to the large amount I actually have.

Constuctive critisism would be infinitely appreciated.

So let's start shall we? First of all, dragons (I love 'em). A full size version of one I posted into the miscellaneous art thread a while back and a pencil sketch that I refined a little in photoshop.

Also, have a WIP that I'm currently wrestling with.

With regards to manga style art, I actually have more, but can never be bothered to finish it, or it looks awful. So I guess this'll have to do for now (again, seen in another thread, please don't hurt me)

Also moar Yuuka (WIP) in a style that I believe suits me better. (Yes, I'm aware her arms are strange).

Thank you for looking! That's it from me so far.

Those dragons look damn amazing and I can see how much you like them, especially the first one in which attention to detail is superb.

Now about the last two works, I can see you are not accustomed to the style yet. Right now, the way the head is attached to the rest of the body is awkward.

I would recommend taking a step back and fix up the neck - jaw joint and the left jaw line. Shift her head right in the first Yuuka piece and the other way around in the second piece.

Also, when in doubt, flip the line art horizontally. For some profound reason I do no know why, mistakes show up quite clearly when you do it and I think it is very useful.

ps. Never doubt the quality of your work. As long as you are interested and persistent, improvements will be around the corner.

First of all thank you very much, the fact you took the time to criticise me makes me very pleased, and of course, who wouldn't be pleased about receiving comments like that on their dragons?

With regards to the Yuukas, I must say thanks for pointing that out to me too. I could see something was off but never actually noticed it was that. I suppose the difference in artwork quality comes from a combination of having drawn dragons since I was 6 and just generally sucking at human proportions :V

Just to clarify, I'm drawing the head too pressed back on the neck? And is the solution for me to move or turn the head to the left/right?

[HJD]Red_Herring · « **Reply #3 on:** June 29, 2011, 07:22:43 AM »

Hey, no problem.

I was trying to say the connection between the jawline and the neckline gave off the impression of her head attached little too FORWARD from the neck. This seems to be a prevalent problem in people

who are not accustomed to draw in manga style. Sadly, as an old-fashioned person, I cannot give you tips in working with digital media. However, I would still say SHIFT her head(ONLY) left by 1mm ~ 2mm.

After I posted the reply I had another look at the picture and compared it to some other manga art and realised what you meant, I felt like a bit of a ⑨ but there's no helping it I guess as I had no time to make an edit.

Once again, many thanks for your input, I shall take on this challenge! *dies*

thank you for having such appreciation for the primal reptilian power of dragons without just being a furry

Have a werewolf thing's head, and also some lineart of a random satori OC (her shoulder is messed up) XD

you and I share something similiar, we are once good at something... and that something I had has eluded me now.

I used to be able to draw monsters and shit but since I gotten used to drawing cute girls standing around... it has been difficult for me lol.
impressive dragons man.

Vyrien · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2011, 08:36:25 PM »

^ Thanks a lot, you should definitely get back into drawing monsters again, while I struggle on in vain with drawing cute girls .

Especially appreciate that coming from you :V

SuperParadox · « **Reply #10 on:** November 08, 2011, 09:32:08 PM »

I freaking love those dragons! (I think you acullay revived my love for them)

Vyrien · « **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2011, 11:36:53 PM »

Yet another dragon, very lazy colouring. I hate backgrounds, can you tell?

Here's the warmup sketch before I did it properly.

And finally, a to be finished picture of Utsuho in a similar style, I'm keeping this one greyscale though.

♛ Apher-Forte · « **Reply #12 on:** November 19, 2011, 03:03:44 AM »

epic utsuho man, needs more high res yo.

really like your coloring method as much as I like your Futo rendition. you have awesome coloring skills imo.

Satorin · « **Reply #13 on:** November 19, 2011, 08:18:21 PM »

To be honest I am more into the drawings of Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures rather then Dragons. kind of kiddie but meh haha

But seeing as you also drew Yuuka <3, and that kickass Utsuho picture your work gets a 5/5 from me

not that it matters lol.

Thank you, I would but then all my (many) errors would become glaringly obvious. However, when done, I may increase the res.

And once again, I'm grateful that you like the colouring. :3

Haha Thank you

And keep up that good work ^^

Back again with my forever apart updates, first of all, a mock up cover of an Umineko Doujin I seriously considered doing, But it being me, never got more than a page done. :V

What's this? Oh dear. yet another dragon WIP, but wait, what's that to the side?! It couldn't possibly be a Touhou character could it?

Finally, a short but emotional story about my one true love and how we can never be apart. (Warning, terribly scribbled art).

Also, Utsuho is nearly finished

and Satorin, I haven't forgotten that I'm gonna do a dinosaur, it'll probably be in the next update. :3

Vyrien · « **Reply #17 on:** July 24, 2012, 03:09:15 PM »

Lol it's been like 6 months since any update, prepare yourselves.

Kawaii as fuck.
Teaspit.png I should colour this.
Dat Hakkero.

Judgement boy. My favourite character from one of the best things ever, The Gregory Horror show.

Satori. Someday I will find the motivation to give her some hands.

I love the Heart-Throbbing adventure so much.

That's all folks!

Ah, finally new Vyrien art, yay!

Loving that Satori, but since I like her to begin with...

(The other stuff's good, too, I just felt most pulled in by the simple/clean lines she had.)

Yeah, I really want to do more in this style but it's totally different to how I normally draw, so it's pretty difficult. Satori is actually my favourite Touhou, which for some reason means I have incredible difficulty drawing her. :V
