Random Ranma fanart from me

[Kadunta]

I put my random fan art stuff on one page. If you've been on the IRC channel, chances are you've seen them all by now (Ranma-chan as a witch, a generic red-headed sailor leaping and the one Ranma as Pluto pic I posted on the old forums). I haven't put this page accessible yet in my site sidebar, mostly because I'll put together at least a thumbnail gallery of the pics there before that (and hopefully get a few decent pics in there in upcoming weeks).

Very nice, I especially like the Best of Times pics, Ranma manages to have Pluto's aura of mystery pulled off well.

I agree those pictures are quite nice.

[Greybara]

nice but the staff should be considerably longer i think

[Kadunta]

Greybara: so I've heard... and I was too lazy to start scourging the Internet for more pics on the staff. I just don't think one metre is that long, though, or maybe it's just me. Ah well, I'll try to do better next time

Okay, here's the second and most likely last piece of TBoT fan art from me - at least for a while now. Things (for me at least) to complain about: failed hands & fingers, inconsistent shading, the floating glob of paint pretending to be the garnet orb, boring background... feel free to add to the list
(I assumed the orb is really just the big red gem, excluding the gray thingamajig around it. Disagree if you feel like it, you'd be more likely correct than I.)

I would not want to find Ranma looming over me looking like that. I think she'd even be able to make Kuno think twice about glomping her with that look on her face.

[Dark Magic]

Very Nice. The only downside is seeing your pics reminds me about how bad I am at drawing.

I like the impish impression of the pic with ranma in the witches costume. The TBoT image with her on the building edge is cool. I like the dark violet background color but a little cloud texture to it would help improve the 'dark looming sky' feel. The roof edge could also use a little brickwork or variation to its surface to look more like the edge of a building. The colors are perfect for the mood however, and Ranma herself is wonderfully posed and drawn/colored. I appologize if i sound overcritical, knowing that these images are better than most that i have the skill to produce, I just wanted to point out parts that could use improvement. Though the lack of detail on the environment helps the character stand out more, i found it to be a little too simple for my tastes. I wont complain too loudly since im not very good at environments myself.
For the looming image i like the background color but some kind of effect would help it shine more. Maybe one of the 'horizontal lightning bolt' effects or a subtle aura effect that wont obscure the subtle color shift already present.

crystlshake: Usually it's me who's overcritical about my work And I don't mind constructive criticism at all. I don't do much in the way of backgrounds because, well, I don't think I'm any good drawing them and digital image processing isn't really my cup of tea either. That's why my backgrounds are more than a little bland - I'm too impatient to use rulers and most human-made environments have a lot of straight lines to draw.
I had thought of some stylized crescent moon in both TBoT images' background, but gave up on that for some reason (eg. being too much of a cliché).

Very nice!!!! I wish I could draw like that!!!

Haven't been drawing fan art (or anything else for that matter) lately. Hopefully I'm now breaking out of my slump.
Since I doubt RanmaTronic is going to get much of a following, I decided to try drawing some art for it myself. This is still only a lineart pic and I might add more of those glowing lines to girl-Ranma. My attempts to colour it have been ... less than successful.

[Dragon Man]

Well, it looks better in color than in black and white in my opinion. The disk looks great though!

In the Ranma TBoT pics, the lower legs look shapeless and unfinished, definitely not up to the quality of the rest of the images they are part of. Little in the way of curvature for the shins, no detail on the feet/boots, and little to make them look dimensional. It's almost as if you ran out of energy when it came time to draw Ranma below the knees.
