Palsa's Workshop

[Palsa]

I figured that I should go ahead and make a thread for my personal works, hope you like them.

Most of what I will be posting in here is work in progresses of my artworks for my story concepts and games, I will also try to post my 3D models and writing; but please bear in mind, that I'm a fairly slow worker, so try not to expect frequent updates.

If I have any finished works that are worth showing, then I will most likely post them here in my DeviantART gallery.

On a side note: please do not use or repost anything that I post in this thread, if your wanting resources, I have a thread where you can find some of my shared works here.

[My usual tools of choice]

General image editing, tiling and spriting: Corel Paint Shop Pro X2.

Drawing: Paint Tool SAI.

3D Modeling: MilkShape 3D.

Other tools: ComiPo!, InkScape, MyPaint.

Here is an artwork of a bust/portrait for one of my games that I have been working on in SAI:

Spoiler

I'm still working on the face and expressions, and haven't gotten around to drawing the eyebrows yet.

I will try to post more of my works as I update them.

 

[NPC]

Those are spectacular! They feel very warm and are very pleasing to look at!

I really can't speak today...

Thank you! ^_^

 

[supercow]

your drawing technique is amazing   

looks very 3D

id love to see more of it in the future

 

[Subaru]

It's not just your drawing style, but the way you color is also pretty neat. It gives that nice, warm feel to the drawings.

I also prefer to draw on SAI. There's something about it that makes drawing/sketching somewhat simpler.

PS, love your sig. Ar Tonelico 1 was kind of like my favorite of the 3

 

[Palsa]

Thank you! ^_^

Subaru, same here; I never got around to beating At2, because I had other things going at the time.

Are you by any chance on A Reyvateil's Melody?

 

[Palsa]

I've made a few updates to the portrait of Alimpia:

I still have to draw the eyebrows and work on the other expressions.

 

[Myst]

looks nice I think your artwork is pretty amazing, you look like you have a great technique for making things look 3D.

Thank you very much! ^_^

 

[Palsa]

I just finished the portrait! ^_^

There are 74 expressions in total, so I will have to narrow it down to around 32.

 

[Palsa]

I just uploaded a few of her expressions to my DeviantArt: http://metalraptor.deviantart.com/art/Alimpia-Character-Portrait-Some-Expressions-412259063
Note: that as she has over 74 expressions, I'll have to sort through them, so some of theses may be excluded in the final game.

 

[mithcd]

I'm amazed. I could only imagine how much time you spent on this. Nice job MT. 

 

[Palsa]

Thank you! ^_^


It took me several weeks, I need to practice more though. ^^;

 

[Palsa]

It's not much, but this is a little picture that I drew last year in MyPaint; Merry Christmas all! ^_^

 

[Palsa]

I've been working on some character bust bases as of late, but body proportions are not my fine point, so does this look right to you?



The necks are probably a little long, I can adjust it though.

Any feedback would help greatly.

 

[supercow]

i think the neck looks normal , just from that basic sketch everything looks normal.

 

[Palsa]

Thanks for the input Supercow, it helps a lot! ^_^

 

[supercow]

uhh ok , all i just say that it looks normal

im not a bust/picture artist , it does looks fun though to draw it.

 

[Palsa]

Normal is good, considering that abnormal is the opposite.

You will probably notice that they all share the same basic pose, I did that so that they can be used in a character generator.
What I'm hoping to do, is make several bases for different body types varying by: age, gender and proportion, and create the outfits using Manga Studio's vector lines so I can adjust them to fit each build with minor alterations.

I am curious about the "toned" female. The toned male is obviously more muscular. To my eyes, the toned female just has bigger boobs and I don't really get how that is toned. I know it is harder to portray on a female upper body, but perhaps you could make her arms look a bit more muscular to get the idea across?
