These were for my final project. We needed 3 protagonists and 3 antagonists with their weapons. I used the first image for my main character, and the 9th image my main antagonist. I don't like how I inked these, so I want to re do them since I have the time now that the final is over.

These are my newest drawings. The first three started out as me drawing a a very gaudy ring, then a small hand study. The others are for an idea that I have for a Legend of Zelda fancomic. I used Prismacolor markers and Copic Too and Sketch markers.

Most of these were done yesterday and last night. The chibi was just me trying to draw something cute. The "Doggie" pic was supposed to be a flat dragon and turned into a doggie with a weird looking fishy.
The elf with the glasses is another Ivan sketch, since the character is supposed to be a bit of a bookworm.The rest are just sketches of Link from Legend of Zelda.
The two Wii pics were drawn today. The smaller Wii pic was done properly with a ruler.

New stuff from an actual sketchbook. I just bought "People and Poses" that has a lot of photo reference for comic artists. Even though I'm not going into that field, I saw the type of dynamic poses that I wanted to do so I bought. It also came with this great CD with more pictures than in the book.

My professor pointed me to ImagineFX and I've been practicing my photoshop skills. My coin turned into a weird looking drum-honeybun thingy. I still haven't been able to use this way of painting to do at least a face yet. bah.

Just a face after getting frustrated on a profile in PS.

Nice last peice is pretty cool your work is really nice very creative just a bit too anime like not the best way to start by drawing anime practise foundations first then go into styles
good luck
Kya Hill
March 26th, 2008, 04:27 PM
Thanks. I don't draw anime anymore. I stopped doing that a long ago. I'm still trying to move away from that style.

This was for a practice in drawing child faces and expressions. Also for a character design. I only have one done right now.
354387
And this is the hairstyles I came up with. I think I'm gonna go with the fourth one on the top row for my char.
354388
random dress/corset thumbnails.
354389
This was gong to be a scene but I didn't like how the body turned out after I blocked it out and just started to draw the torso.
354390
random thumbnails.
354400
I'm not sure if I'll finish this one. I don't like the lower body now after I haven't seen it for a few weeks.
354394
Another character design. His name is Jester and he's a villain.
354392
Big Head. Strange shoulder placement.

Profile practice:

Scene with the original sketch first. My professor red lined the legs since I was having trouble with the jumping/twisting figure over the dragon's fire:
360342
Then I scanned that and made it blue in PS since I was almost going through the paper:
360343
And the revised sketch. I don't like the body at all and I'm not sure what to do with the dragon either.
360344
This is another Zelda fanart with apossible coronation scene. I don't know what to do with the hair yet or how the fancy embellished head dress is going to come out.

took a peek in here, i like your work, really great eye for detail. Do you use the inkt in a painting program or on paper?
Kya Hill
June 20th, 2008, 03:31 PM
Thanks! :teeth:
No, I do it all traditionally. The only thing I can do with my tablet is color.

Lav- I ink with microns/faber-castell/staedler pens, just barely doing stuff with a brush.

Some 3D stuff I did last quarter in Intro to 3D Modeling:
An Environment:
426893
426894
A Sword:
426923
This isn't the final version of it. The final version has a red gem in the center of the hilt, but that was made in MAX 2009 but my school only had 2008.
My turnaround for my sword:
426933
A Hand:
426895
I have no idea where the final version of this is either.
A space ship:
426919
A Quadruped(Deer):

1 Ref for my Quad:
426930
And a Biped:
426922
Ref for my biped:
426927 426928
Some 3d stuff from intermediate 3d from this quarter:
My Kitchen:
426935
And some objects that we have to do every week:

A top view so you can the pencil and eraser:

Most recent one:

That thing in front of the lotion and to the left of the suitcase is supposed to be my wallet, but it looks like a burrito. bah.

I like your stuff! I'm not an anime person so much, but I enjoy looking at it. My brother is much better at it than I am. Your portrait has quite broad shoulders hehe.
Keep up the good work. A little advice. When you make figures in 3D, try to have your edges follow the contours of major muscle groups. That makes the model come out much smoother with less polygons.
I saw your deviantart gallery. Do more Avatar pics is all I have to say. I may stop by from my account: myucka.deviantart.com
See you later

Finally found time to update this thing.
These is from my advanced drawing class the 2nd go around. We weren't allowed to actually render our drawings, just to use contour line to show form.
The first two are comics demonstrating how to tie a show and to make a pb & j sandwich to a ESL person.
701969
701971
This was an in-class assignment of drawing a classmate and making a scene from that.
701967
This was to draw yourself as a robot.
702009
An interaction w/ my prof, that's me in rags and my prof as the genie.
702008
Our death scene
702005
A tree
701972
And my final a simple landscape.
702007
And these are from my painting class. The first three are acrylic while the rest are watercolor.
Still-lifes
701977
This is a lamp w/ a flashlight btw.
701982
701987
Air-ship, also my very first water-color painting.

Your studies are looking good; I really like the four panel / different styles idea.
It would be cool to see more of those I think.
The figure's pose here could be so many things,
so I can't wait to see where you go with it
(if you are planning on developing it that is).
Keep up the good work

Thanks Jeremy! Forgot about that sketch. I might revisit since I have more anatomy knowledge now.

Does anybody know how to change my thread title?

These were illustrations that I did for an independent study this quarter. All 6 were supposed to be part of a visual narrative. They were good enough for me to pass but only 1 is solid to act as a portfolio piece. My professor told me that I need to tighten things up and take more risks, which I agree on.

1259669
The one that needs the most work.
1259671
1259672
1259673

Does anybody see anything else that I can do to bring these up to the same level?

Good work so far. Your traditional stuff looks a bt skewed, but that can be fixed by using a slanted surface like a draftng table :)
Kya Hill
December 27th, 2011, 03:17 PM
Something new! It's another hybrid creature based on a peacock. I can't decide if I want a fully human face or place a beak on his face. I also plan to model this creature when I get my concept done.

I like your environment concepts but they need more spatiality, try to use a clear horizon and 1 or more fix points ;)
Kya Hill
January 8th, 2012, 04:42 PM
Did more of the sketch on the 27th and started making the base in maya for about a week or so now. I haven't decided if I want to give him a beak or just have a full human face. I also started thinking about the if I want the wings attached the the human arms or at the connection of the hips to the bird body.
