Quote by MapleRosewoah awesome! I love how you coloured her hair and shaded her kimono, cool pose as well ^^ and the background is simple but neat, looks like an ink drawing. But what I'm really impressed with is the patterns on her kimono, how you modified and bend it according with the flow of the cloth I need to learn how to do that (instead of having flat patterns)... care to give some tips (please) ?

If you're using Photoshop, you can place the pattern in a separate layer, place it over the place you're going to wrap the pattern on then press ctrl+T (or transform). Right click, then choose 'Warp' while on it's transform mode. After doing that, you can 'wrap' the pattern on the place you want to put it in ^-^

talking about you and your work ^^
i hope you don't mind and if you didnt like please let me know ^^
ja na ^_^

Oh my... Thank you .o.
I dunno what to say, I'm honored ;;

about your PM, Sure. I don't mind. But I'm usually inactive nowadays becak I'm having trips back and forth the hospital ;

Quote by MapleRoseah so cute!

lovely colouring, great shading on their clothes (neat designs too), and I like the highlights on the hair esp. those hats are so cute! (I want one!) though I'm not sure how they're managing not to fall off

It's called Magic!

Quote by charaznableamuroreiNooo... I haven't bugged him, firefly... ... because honestly, I'm overly procrastinating over a nice post for him from me on his guestbook (for all the awesome DSC banners Ryuuen's concocted over the year, and for managing to find the time to help out in the DSC)... so I'm still hiding from him... ... lol, and why am I addressing Ryuuen in the third person? O_O

OK, technical/impressionistic commentary! I'm kinda entering into a yaoi-gaga phase right now, so I can't say a glowering "OMG, cute girls in love!" comment right now... I'm not too sure about Konoka Konoe's (she's the one at the right, right?) right arm, how it wraps around Setsuna Sakurazaki's left arm... or maybe I'm just trying to cover up for my apparent cluelessness over drawing proportions and stuff, lol. Anyway, I think you wanted to focus on the girls' faces here, instead of their clothes, with all the highlights on their faces, hair and all. Oh, and the nodachi (her sword)... shouldn't it be curving juuuusst a tad little?

Oh, and yes yes, if you could spare some time off your offline studies, please do drop us a line on the thread! ^^^ And I'm off dropping a comment on your DSC banner featuring DSC members! ^^^

*smacks forehead* Oh, and sorry for being insensitive... same with fireflywishes, I hope your wrist gets better. Alaxan ba ang iniinom mo? Tama na 'yang drugs, ha? *Nanay mode! * I-hot compress mo lang iyan, hane?

Eww... yaoi... lol |D;

but to no offense, I'm scared of yaoi so I dunno what to say xD;;;
And yup, Konochan's holding unto Secchan's arm ^_^
I'll make sure I'll fix the mistakes on my next drawing, if ever I pass my finals and subjects this term |D;

I still need to do a new banner too, yau know >: the last one is getting old. >:

Lastly... random lang na pagsagot |D
Di po Alaxan... DI po ako uminom ng painkillers, I used the for-external-use-only types ;D
Thanks for the concern though, but rest assured that both of my wrists are out of binds and all better no ^_^

Thanks for the comment Chara-neesama! : D

Quote by fireflywishesYay! Another doujin by Ryuuen! The characters are so cute (I like their expressions) and you did a nice job with the colors/shading.

Aaaand, I'm sure that chara already bugged you about this, but would you be interested in giving some tips on using tablet/PS here: The 'Tips for Doujinshi Artists' Thread Rewriting Project

Anything you can think of would be greatly appreciated! Can't wait to see your next doujin! (And hope that your wrist gets better!)

First and foremost,
thanks for the comment ^_^ and of couse, compliments.

Secondly, no Chara-sama didn't bother me about that. I'll see to it that I share something after I finish my final projects ^^; I'm quite caught in lots of them at the moment ^^; it's a reason why I'm so inactive lately.

Thanks again and I'll try my best to do more art stuffs. ^^;

***
EDIT:

I've read the post in wikispaces, and yeah. I would contribute some about.... umn, all around.
I can definitely give some tips about CGing and using tablets. I can also share some tips about Dynamism, Action Poses, trad art and the like. ^_^;
I'll just pass by again by the time I get the stuffs I would like to share all organized.

Thanks and good day ^^;

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenWhat's a Canson paper? o.O

Look so real! Ryuuen you're just so good at this. ^^ Denise looks like a guy, probably with that hair standing out, but I can't deny that it's such a good drawing.

*What's with that scar on Aoki's neck by the way?

Canson is a brand of drawing paper products .o.;
they came from France C:

Aoki's scars on her neck were given by her father when she was young .O.
She's a battered child... so yeah .o.;

Quote by GaffShe's so nice... what's her name?

her name is Aoki Yatsuka ^^

thanks for commenting : D

Quote by Anjhurin*points to comment above* Whoa... i actually think the same ! I really like the blush, and the flower is totally awesome.
Nice and original drawing, brings back a lot of memories (guess it's the same for everyone !). Only little thing is, there's no nails .

Thumbs up, and fav !

merged: 08-10-2006 ~ 06:46pm
Oh, and maybe her eyes look unfocused (okay, now i don't have clue at how to explain that, but that's the way it seems to me !)

Lol Anj-san. I dun like drawing nails they make may hand anatomy look ever so wrong. I noticed that on the ees too, but I didn't bother fixing em because I'm lazy 8d It's probably because of the eye detail shading.

I'll ask something though,
What's up with "this item is in the elite gallery" or "this item is highlighted"? @_@;;
*stupid*
Could you enlighten me a bit?

and about the banner. I'm stuck! lol. I try to redo the primary sketch on paper and it can out wrong. so I might be able to fix it in 2 weeks because I have my exams and finals >: sorry for the inconvience.

Quote by Anjhurin
Ahah, i think i got the flu (in summer ? anyway ...), but well, i'll try to explain the elite gallery / highlighted stuff !
Elite gallery : there is an option (i think you go to control panel, then to MT options or something alike) that allows you to browse only the 'elite gallery', which is where the 'best' artworks are (or supposed to be). I think the items there are chosen by elite members / mods.
Highlighted art : you get to be shown on MT mainpage, where there is a 'week highlighted items' part. I reckon an item is proposed by an elite / mod, and then checked by another one, so it is a very special / amazing piece of art...

Good luck on your finals anyway, and for the banner as well (ahah.... maybe you should start a Xmas themed banner, if you get it out by then *teasing*)

Take care and have fun

anj

oh. lol.
I just discovered about the elite gallery a while ago when I looked at the main page. I saw my Dandelion art on the highlighted items, lol. Thanks for expalining.

... You're so mean Dx...
lol. I'll try making it 'white' anyway.

Quote by animefans56Is she Kaname Chidori?

nope .o.

Quote by AnjhurinHum, are you going to be a H artist in the future ? (Aoki-Die yuri, you said it, not me ! ).

Just one thing i wonder about, does she have scars on her neck ? (weird, i think i already asked before.... if i did, where do they come from ? too much fighting ?).
Only flaw is the hands / fingers part (and maybe her head is a bit too big, giving that chibi feeling).

Otherwise, it's a good job, and thumbs up

Didn't I tell you I was an HDoujin artist? ;

nd yeah, she has scars on her neck, as far as story on the character goes, her father did it to her.o. beaten child. Poor kid. .o.

Yuh, the head is too big, I still have that problem on drawing.... big heads. o.

thanks for the comment

now off to the bathroom... I'm having diarrhea now .o.
I can't really tell if I want to shit, fart or my butt is just plain painfull .o.

Quote by AnjhurinNoooo... is that for the perverted sophia ? Bet she's drooling all over the place now

Rubber ducky, strawberry pants, and scars all over . Anyway, really nice shading, the muscles really stand out well because of it. Even though it's a sketch (hands are a bit.... hum sketchy), you've put some good work on the faces !
That would make a nice set of lollipops

Thumbs up

yeah, probably xD

omg... lollipops again xD

*gnaws on Ephie-chan*
ohh.... hanata-kun lollipop eh xD;

uh, just wanted to say hi... sorry about the other day, I think one of my personalities bothered you... which is Hanata-kun, I think... bleh, sorry again.

Hows Ephie-chan-with-hanata-kunn-lollipop-on-mouth?
xD

*bites on Anj-san*
Hewo, just... saying hi xD

*gives you an Aoki lollipop in lieu of the Hanata -lollipop you gave away*
XD

Quote by julian1is it just me, or is it that most of your characters have that roundish face? no it's no a prob, it's just that i feel that guys should have a thinner and more oval shaped face... heh i think it's better without that middle finger, it's just not cool.

eep. No, that was what I meant by the unproportioned head xD I really hade the shape of the face wrong but I was too lazy to redo the face, because I might mess it up more.

Quote by julian1oh. man. no boobs. and that katana, it looks a bit too short, did you make it short on purpose? well, actually looks okay, like a dachi. whatever, i never had anything to complain about the great ryuuen. nice one, i'll say.

Yep. that sword of hers is very short xD;
Thanks for the comment ^^

Quote by FlowerDog
Hi Ryuuen! Thank you for complimenting my latest work. I have to disagree, I believe you draw girls very nicely and anyone can draw girls better than me. Though you are talented. I love to also thank you for encouraging me to continue working on my artwork. I am glad that you took your time to just take a look at my work. Thank you again Ryuuen.

Hope that the rest of your week turns out to be great for you. Please take care.

Nuu, my girls looks like guys xD Seriously, they do. And definitely yours looks like girls xD not like mine that looks like guys. And yours looks cute, mine looks like guys xD;

Ah yes! Draw more =D

Take care too ^_^

NEEEEEEEEKO! xD
Hi xD
Just wanted to say hi to my twin xD

Quote by julian1no way! you used faber castel? i hate it, but it seems that you could use it well!

... uh, I think it's quite easy though o.o and not that expensive too.

thanks for the watch! ^_^

omg omg omg omg omg! I'm so sorry for misspelling everyone's name! Dx
You see, it's so hard to work when you're sick xD; you get memory laps xD;

Sorry again!

Quote by AnjhurinHeya Ryuuen ^_^

well i just tried right now to send all the material for the banner to your email address (that is ryuuen_oniichan etc...), but it says it didn't work ..... so i wonder if you could give me another mail where i could send everything (2 pics, and one "drawing attempt"... let's call it that lol), and some description / manga references
ahah i'm sorry if i'm sooo late, i was busy with my cough exams cough, but i'm taking a break before them

take care

anj

PS how can you even be able to read what's on your UP ? lol

merged: 02-04-2006 ~ 06:15pm
PPS : maybe i can send it to the yahoo address of the DSC, so it's easier ne? i'll do that, i guess there's still the password and ID up the DSC's page (ID = doujinshi_mt ; password = passion)

umn... you can always try ryuuen_oniichan@yahoo.com or ryuuen_tanaka@yahoo.com... but anyway, I got in in MT's email add, so it's ok....

UP? umn, excuse me? What's that? ^^;

Quote by Ephemeral-GardenYaho! Ryuuen wanwan! I'm here to ask about the banner stuffs. You're going to draw our animated faces? I mean, really? OUR animated FACE? *screams around like a small kid* Wait, I'm a small kid. :p

Uh huh. Kedo ne, I have to fine more people would agree... about 4 to 6. well minus one you want to include me. xD or thingy like that. anyway, I'll type it up and post in as an announcement, maybe? LOL I whole details I mean. I sounds nice, darou? xD
