Sketch Ragadump Mk II: Naughties and suchlikes - Now with mechs!(and nudity)

[Ragathol]

Oh my, my old sketchbook seem to have fallen over the end of the world.
A tragic loss indeed, but we move on. I have only myself to blame for being lazy and not updating. So, let's start anew without further ado, shall we?

Hm, looks like I've drawn a lot of nudes lately. Anatomy practice AND fanart at the same time? Delicious! Happy plastic - it's fantastic!

[Ragathol]

Moar!

[Ragathol]

And some in color.
The TANKS stuff is from my upcoming comic book, being released in Sweden april 15! First book of two.

[Camara]

Hot chics,man.Keep posting!!

[Ragathol]

Thanks :3

Some paintchat doodles from tonight, Oh My Goddess gals.

[Johanz]

Tis' great stuff! I like the two Belldandys the most btw. :3 probably most is the Belldandy in purple!

And much awesomeness in general :D

[silvestri99]

Nice anime work...and you definatly have the female anime figure down..woot woot! Like to see some more painted stuff and action shots!!!

[Ragathol]

Thanks yous :3

Some pages from my comic book:

[Ragathol]

Just-before-bedtime drawing... Again, Urd from Oh My Goddess.

[Ragathol]

More goddess goodness!

"Skuld" in modern Swedish means guilt, but that's not where her name is from, rather the old Icelandic word for "necessity", *skola*. "Skola" in older Swedish is also "shall". She can stand for the future, but that is probably a newer christian idea. Nevertheless, it fits with her position in the manga.

[Ragathol]

It's goddamn sevon o clock in the morning and I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd sketch a little.

Big bad battle mech booyah! I really like how this one came out. Heavily inspired by Warmachine, of course.

[Gunther409]

All your lines look so clean, it's amazing. Are you using a program or is this pen&paper?

[TheBeast]

Muhaha! a Hourus rising manga-interpretation, could i send this one to my gamegroup please?! its so cool^^ *rofl*

i like yah lineart, nice work! please do some more color-works soon, you have a good understanding of propotions and anatomy, the manga style is a easy way to work it out. ever think about gettin more realistic whit ya style? i think it would fit nicely to your great lineworks here and show more of your true potenzial.

keep them commin!

[Ragathol]

Gunther: Thanks :3 It's all pen (or pencil) and paper, except for the paintchat doodles, of course.

TheBeast: I don't really know what you're referring to, but sure :)
Thanks for your comment, a few more color works are underway. I go a little more realistic sometimes, but I prefer to work on my cartoon style. I would need to practice more anatomy, faces etc though.

New one: The last was the big bad mech, here's the big good mech.

Also, I found out that my last thread wasn't gone after all... no use bumping it now, but if you want to check out some earlier sketches, go here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=77877).

[Ragathol]

Some little pieces made for the 4chan/tg/ channel.

[DARAF]

I like the comic book pages alot. nice layout and clear storytelling. Keep at it.

[Ragathol]

Whoa, it's been ages! Time for a timely bump and a lot of new stuff.
Some more various girls and whatnot.

[Ragathol]

And some more

[Inkjexion]

looking at your page makes me wanna study manga style drawing, keep it up!

[Smoke]

Loving the Horus Heresy reference :D

[Compact Disaster]

Very nice clean work you have produced here........you seem to favour the shojo and josei manga styles.
Ever tried doing different manga styles or even combining styles??
for example :- in Get Backers they combined Shonen with the comical tare look from time to time.

[Ragathol]

Inkjexion, Smokey: Thank you very much! :o

Compact Disaster: Yeah, those recent things are pretty much in the same style.. I'm trying different stuff from time to time though, but I could do it more.

[Ragathol]

More stuff!

[Wilhelm87]

Great stuff, nothing to crit really. Keep it up!

Oh and your webcomic was a really nice read to, the story was really entertaining (though I haven't finished it yet).

[Ragathol]

Thanks! Well, I'm not finished with it either...

I was inspired to practice painting faces by another thread here, and I tried to find a reference pic with some interesting lighting... So I ended up with this African man, involved in a voodoo ritual. Painter 9, about 1 hour+.
I don't really like to work with painter, but I have to tame that beast one day. Especially since after I was about halfway done, it decided to reverse the color picker, so it only picked up as background color... Highly annoying to have to switch over every time I changed color. Also, I got some scratches and stuff that couldn't be erased or painted over. What's up with that?
Anyway, voodoo man. I'll do some more face studies later.

[kaktuzlime]

Nice face study m8. And interesting designs in general! I´ll be seeing ya at sketchgroup, or are you living la vida loca in Stockholm?

[Ragathol]

Heya man, thanks! Yeah, I've moved to Stockholm for good(for now) now, so no more Skövde for me...
I'll check your stuff out though.

No more face studies yet, but some color girlies. And smut!

[Camara]

This is a great SB!I am not a big fan of manga style but I like your work,is very funny and is clear that you enjoy a lot drawing.Those mechs are great.Color them!!!

Good work!

[Andrew_ak-47]

nice manga style, love the cammy sketch! i wanna c mor of yur comic!

[Mr.Delicious]

very nice comic work, good story telling and nice flow. The angles could get more interesting as well as lighting but its good for your style. I like the coloring job you did on your maid character and also the very nice start you had on this one:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=185525&stc=1&d=1187127060

Keep it up man

[SMILEFACE]

I love anime really dig yo style

[Ragathol]

Thanks yous :3

I don't really have much scanned from the second comic book, but here are a few panels at least. Yay Lego men soldiers (and Konata from Lucky Star). Oh, I found some pages from the first book too.

[Ragathol]

Last painting... A strange request from an imageboard. If you know your stuff, you see what this is. If not... it doesn't really matter either way.

[Ragathol]

New update with a lot of oekakis from the last few days.
Bah, why is the size limit for png so low? Gotta convert a lot of them. Here goes for starters.

[Shachihoko]

dang the one with the photo of a voodoo man sure is creepy as hell. O_O;;;

Although you made his eyes are a bit big, and needed more textures to the skin. Good shot and keep up. =3

[Krigbrann]

Holy S*** F*** that comics awesome! wish I could read it...

[Keenir]

New update with a lot of oekakis from the last few days.

Number Five!
(long time no see, that one)

super pic.

[Diphallia]

Stopp eller vi skjuter?
Vaaa? Udda ordval :P

Like the comics :) Pretty hard to understand a yota when you only got two pages to read :(.

Nicienice, men hur ser det ut när du målar "normalt" alltså inte serieblahblah.

[Ragathol]

Shachihoko: Thanks - yeah, I messed up at some things. I'm not used to painting without sketching first. I'm not really familiar with Painter, so texturework will have to wait a while.

MaxoftheSouth: Thanks :3
We've sent it to Tokyopop... let's hope for the best.

Keenir: I loved those films as a kid... I wonder if they're still any good.

The oekakis that were to fat for the last post: Some Excelism, Street Fighter Karin and The fffffff Note!

[Ragathol]

Haruko bump. I realized too late that she's actually left-handed and has a mirrored Rickenbacker bass...

[Ragathol]

Some fun sketching and color practice. Wanted to try different light conditions on each of them. Crits are appreciated.

[Niva.]

This is a cool SB, I really like the one with the guy reading the FFFF book with the headset. Great expressions and sequential stuff. 4*s from me!

You should do more realistic stuff, watch your proportions too. You're obviously going for the cartoony stuff which lets you get away with a lot, just keep working on it.

[Ragathol]

Diphallia: Jaaa... kanske det. Serien finns i bokhandlar över hela landet annars.. :P
Jag tecknar/målar mest serieblahblah, annars finns det ju andra exempel här i tråden. Utöver det inte så mycket annat...

n1va: Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely time for another anatomy/hands drawing session. I feel I'm slipping into manners I don't really want.


Some more oekakis. Again, most of them were too large for png, I'll post the rest later.

[Ragathol]

Bumpdate with new oekakis.
Still all made with Shi Painter, like the earlier.

[Ragathol]

A coloring/painting practice... The first iteration was pretty much a failure, but it's starting to look a bit better now. Still unrefined, of course.

[enthombed]

nice manga stuff Ragathol, i really like this manga pages who you did, remember sometimes massamune shirow in dominion tank police story.

keep posting

[Ragathol]

Oh god, it's been ages.

enthombed: Thanks, that's exactly what I strive for! It's my greatest inspiration.

Some more oekakis and other drawings... This time, all of them are from Touhou games fandom.

[Jutami]

Nice stuff man. :) I found it amusing to watch through all this, pretty many similar intrests, (shirow, warhammer, Azumanga D, etc.) Keep it up.

The comic på svenska was also very funny. :)

Cheers

[Eugie]

Haha I love your touhou drawings, more please especially Mari!

[Ragathol]

Jutami: Ah, thanks for looking :)
Aye, those things will probably stay with me for a while longer...

Eugie: Thank you~
Hope you like this, then :)


Made this in a totally lovely little program I found, called Paint Tool SAI(google it, there's an English 31 day trial version). As you can see(I hope), it's got the sweetest line tool ever. The watercolor is nice too. Definitely try it out!

[kaktuzlime]

Ragathol! My Friend! It´s great to see you again! How´s life treating you? You keeping in touch with Kay any? Solid visual storytelling! Your images are fun to look at, in a good way ^^ Nice lighting in the B & W one. That´s hard ^^

Peace!

[Eugie]

Sweet update, I totally dig that style. She looks older in that picture, which I do not mind at all.

[Ragathol]

Kaktuzlime: Yay! I'm great, thanks! Almost done with the second book now.. well, the drawings. After that, graytoning 150 pages...
Kay? Kei? Kwok-Hei? Jodå, vi håller kontakten, han har flyttat till Sthlm nu också. Men vi ses inte mycket oftare för det, haha... Alla bara jobbar.

Eugie: Thanks, I like to picture her as 17-19, rather than 14... She must have had time to learn all that magic too!


In today's episode of "Can I be a real artist too plz?"; muscle studies!

[Ragathol]

Some quick sketches, no reference.

[Flaskpost]

Oy! Kör hårt med anatomistudierna! Ser bra ut!
Var paintchattar du förresten?

[Eugie]

What you're not into 14 year olds? J/k or am I? Nice studies keep at it, chow.

[Jelluh]

Nice SB man, definetley gonna keep an eye on this one

[Ragathol]

Flaskpost: Tack! Just nu bara på 4chan/i/. Nån gång ibland på http://pchat.mine.nu/paintchat.php

Eugie: I don't mind lolis, but somehow I always try to be somewhat realistic even in the most unrealistic settings...

Jelluh: Thanks, I'll try to update more often.


Oh yeah, I forgot this one... This was a request from a Touhou discussion board, Ran being branded by Yukari. Made in Photoshop.

[Ragathol]

Another similar request. Pretty self-explanatory, I guess. Made in Paint Tool SAI.

[Ragathol]

More Touhou madness. It's all I do beside work these days, haha...

[Eugie]

Haha sweet updates my friends would love these (they're bonkers about touhou).

[Ragathol]

Hehe, thanks.

More sketchan.

[Ragathol]

Just a quickie, rabbit ears.

[Ragathol]

Touhouan gaem. Suika dominating a poor human girl. Lecherous Oni.

[Flaskpost]

I´m not really sure what´s going on in this last one, but it sure is fun to look at.
I like the simplistic mountains in the background. Maybe indicate a sky as well? Some low-saturaded light blues or something.
Keep it up!

[Ragathol]

Maybe.. but I think it's busy enough as it is. The mountains were just an afterthought as well, but they do their part well.

Keeping it up... more character sketches, a small comic(first half), a portrait of Alice, and Cirno in Doomtrooper!

[DoktorNo]

Hi there! I know your artwork from DeviantArt. Nice to see you here. :) AFAIK manga is not well welcomed here... But I see that you are trying to do some anatomy studies. Keep working. :)

[Ragathol]

DoktorNo: Thanks. What I'm doing is sort of realistic style, but with cartoon faces. I strive to draw realistic. I know most people here like barbarians and power armour though :)

Here are a few more various doodles and paintings.

[FightingSeraph]

Good stuff you got there (I happen to be a Touhou fan myself), even though I don't like anime/manga that much. Have you tried drawing Alexiel from Angel Sanctuary?

[Ragathol]

Thanks. Nope, haven't seen Angel Sanctuary.

One more touhou and some oekakis!
Tough gangsters wearing silly hats, Rincewind, Haruko, Unipuma and Commissar Daemonette!

[FightingSeraph]

I like Your non-anime/manga art as well.
Off Topic: You should check out Angel Sanctuary when you get the chance.

[Ragathol]

Holy heavens, it's been ages(again)!

Well, back on track with some older stuff to start with. All oekakis.
Robots/cyborgs inspired by BLAME!, fighting gals, desu and more!
