Would it not be easier just to make 1 thread and post them all in there?  ::)

Good stuff  :)

Alwight! I love Astrix!

I just love Asterix and Obelix comics.

Nice pic as usual, Neole  :D

We used to read Asterix in my French class and all I have to say is that Obelix is THE coolest name in the universe.

It's really cool Neole. There's nothing wrong with it. It really look like the Asterix comics. How about color it (just suggestion)?
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Thu 24/04/2003 10:08:01
Thanks guys!

Matts, no colors for now, I'm just trying to fit in some drawing time every day. If I start coloring I'll probly give up the whole exercise.

Neoles drawing was incredible from the start, and N3T made it look even better! Great!(Both of you...)
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: n3tgraph on Fri 25/04/2003 12:38:43
thanksh :)

what do you think of it neole?
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Sat 26/04/2003 16:27:40
Wow, thats really good N3T! (except for the blue patch on the right)
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: n3tgraph on Sat 26/04/2003 19:25:13
thanks neole, I know about the blue patch, but you didn't draw anything there so - :) I didn't know what to do ;D
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Igor on Sat 26/04/2003 19:41:26
Love it- picture and coloring (very comic-book like, great :)).
As for non defined area: my suggestion would be to fade the color into white. Blue is killing the pic :)

Hi, I am new to this forum, but the art displayed on this board is really awesome. And since I like your pics so much, Neole, I decided to colorize your drawing too... tell me what you think:

And oh no! On N3T's version I now see that those things on the tree's base are the roots... and not some more rocks... darn it...

w0w laserschwert - you made me feel untalented :P

j/k ;)

Great work!
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Tue 29/04/2003 13:59:46
Thats lovely Laserschwert! Surprisingly you have made a muted palette work extremely well in the cartoony scene. The shadows and textures are done really good too! ( And no blue patch to boot ;) )

Yours was a totally different style N3T, more asterexy.
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: n3tgraph on Tue 29/04/2003 14:17:34
teh blue patch rules  8)

hehe

thanks neole... I did put the asterix comic in my mind when colouring - I have teh whole collection :)
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Tue 29/04/2003 16:50:57
I had the whole collection till a few years back. I bought Asterix and Obleix All at Sea just today. Which leaves The Actress to get!
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: on Tue 29/04/2003 18:04:58
Thanks guys. Yeah, N3T's style is looking exactly like the ones in the comics... I tried something different, plus I am probably the only one, who wouldn't have painted her hair blonde  ;D

All left to do for me now, is learning to draw as good as you, Neole, so that I have my own pics to colorize...

You draw "analog", right? *g* I mean as for the looks of it you use ink ans markers, and then scan it... or what's your secret?
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Andail on Tue 29/04/2003 18:41:03
Great artwork, Lasershwert.
Welcome to the forum
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Wed 30/04/2003 06:33:33
Lasers, no secret here, just plenty of practise in school when teachers used to be giving boring lectures.  I use pen on ink, scan, then add shading in photoshop with the mouse using a transparent grey brush. On the darker more shaded looking images, I use a reverse technique - render cloud filter on the scanned lineart, then use a transparent erase brush to add highlights.

Laserschwert: (That means "Lasersword", right?)
Incredible! Amazing!
I think those two words describe your colouring pretty much... ;D
Welcome, indeed!

wow, great work from all of you
I quite like to see how so different styles of painting can produce stunning results all the same....

Great pic Neole :)

I love it!! Esp the colors on the left upper tree and house and well. You guys really know how to color! Only thing looking off is the skin color which is too similar to the path.
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: n3tgraph on Thu 01/05/2003 12:40:45
lol on the right (there where my blue patch is)
is that the end of the world? ;D

it's amazing how you can change sphere with colours
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: agsking on Fri 02/05/2003 01:21:46
I thought it was just grass where your blue patch is.  
Anyway great drawing Neole and fantastic coloring everyone! :D

The Blue Patch is the mysterious bermuda triangle of the AGS world. I predict many tales will be written about ships and planes and precious artwork disappearing down there in the future. All gaps and gaping errors in any piece of art henceforth will be referred to as 'blue patches' and the supreme ruler of the Earth Union will have the honorable title of 'Patchy Blue'. The 'blue patch' will replace the 'silver lining' as the most oft used color metaphor.

Good god! We could make an awesome game out of this... "Voyage to the Blue of the Patch"... set somewhere in 19th century, with the looks of Jules Verne's fantastic stories.

A group of scientists and adventurers sets off to a great journey to discover the secret of a blueish light at the end of one path in an gaulish village... I'm so excited!!

;D
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes

Another interesting fact about the blue patch is, when it changes to a white color on rare occassions it makes abstract objects like question marks over people's heads cast shadows.
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: on Sat 03/05/2003 01:01:05
Yeah, I've heard of that... what makes it even weirder is the fact that those "questionmark-shadows" are flipped, so that left becomes right and the other way around... almost as if the "whitening of the blueness" doesn't want shadows to be cast correctly... it's like a mysterious vortex "upsidedowning" reality as we know it... almost frightening... it was once called "Twilight Zone" or the "Outer Limits"... but today it is just known as "The Blue Patch".
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: n3tgraph on Sat 03/05/2003 12:48:49
beware of the blue patch - for it is indeed a clever foe

and a dangerous one too :o

;D
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Sun 04/05/2003 11:04:01
Interesting observation Dr Laserschwert. Many a jaded scientists have failed to notice the tiny but hugely significant horizontal-flip-shadow effects of the white-blue-patch.

Hmm.. what are these blue patches appearing on my skin? Arrrrgh, its the blue patch disease!!
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: on Sun 04/05/2003 20:12:04
No no, those blue patches are just there, because I hit you yesterday, for drawing better than me... did you forget? Don't you even remember hitting your head on the table when going down? Mmh... that might explain it...
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: Neole on Tue 06/05/2003 09:37:43
Wakes up all woozy, seeing blue patches floating everywhere..
Title: Re:Cartoony - Wedding Woes
Post by: n3tgraph on Tue 06/05/2003 09:42:41
beware of the blue patch due to hitting..... they might turn red, but they might turn yellow! The blue patch gives and takes, be cautionous with the blue patch!
