most singular...

I promised myself I will not watch the Dragonball monster that is Naruto Shippuden (manga is enuf) but when I saw this opening (t 0 t), shitz, I'll watch everything even the fillers. =.=; The Akatsuki vs. Konoha sequences in the opening were so smooth. So, I promptly watched an episode (Kakuzu-Hidan Arc) and I was blown away. (* 0 *)♥ The sequences were taken from the episodes, and not really made for the opening, so you can find the same graphic quality in the episodes as in the opening.

OMG, it looks soo good. The number of frames is fantastic; the graphics are v. crisp and you can see teh CG hand of miracles. But, what is really impressive is that the camera is working on a whole new level (those rotating, pulling, panning, zooming shots) combined with A+ graphics makes it so *PRETTY*. And it should look pretty; By this time, the studio is already swimming in money.

THEREFORE, I NEED TO DRAW LYK KUNG-FU PRON. Someone please link me to drawing tutorials about eerk, anatomy and proportions. Because my proportions are all f!d up. I can't seem to draw adults or teenagers properly. Srsly, look at Hikaru o.o; Me thinks I should have adjusted the lines on the sweater he might have ganked from Akira or made the legs longer sjdkalfjdlakjfdsa ...Urgh, the mess of the coloring too uuuurgh


"Je suis loser." I just discovered, like an hour ago, than you can do these shit in SAI:
1. Change the texture of the canvas.



2. And ink like a manga pro... (well, sort of)



→ I created a vector layer, then used the pen tool to doodle.



→ The Weight Tool adjusts the thickness of your lines; references the brush size.

→ With the Pressure Tool, you can adjust the pressure (duur) of your vector lines. Pick a Vector point / dot whatevs you want, then click + drag to the right (to increase pressure) or click + drag to the left (to decrease pressure):


Looks like real inking. :O

The not so lovely result:



Layer textures are set to Paper. :D
Yeah, this was rushed; bleh. I couldn't sit still. Need to develop my patience for inking. =.=


And this is the Merlin sh1tz (for somebody supposedly, but now I'm ashamed of this) I was working on last Christmas. But halfway through I got a little drunk, so the skin, eyes and hair are a mess. But, if you managed to see this and you like it (in that weird irrational fangirly corner of your mind), thx itz urs.



In udder news:


→ Changed my profile and my layout. *kukukukuku*

And that is all, for now. Working on the Merlin picspam
