Moogie's Art

[Altharion]

she got someone that will support her that has his own house  :rolleyes:

[Moogie]

Alth: He\'s only a lodger Besides, I wouldn\'t sink so low as to scrounge from my own love. I have parents for that.

Okies, back to the topic, you\'ll find a few pics missing out of this thread. If you want to find them again, they\'re all listed here on my website.

Plus I just found this... it\'s pretty old, it was going to be the main figure in the CB splash screen when Talad originally gave me the task... but gaahhh, he wanted me to draw a scene, and I suck at scenes. The figure was all coloured and everything but I can\'t find that version, so here she is in all her pencilly... thingyness.




On that note I might aswell post my second attempt at a CB splash screen, which was rejected due to its \"difference in style\" to the existing PS art.

Bah, 28.jpg is a MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better splash screen ;_; It doesnt matter if it is DIFFERENT it is just BETTER D::::::::

I had a Neopets account. Mad_Moogle, I was; that account is 43 months old now. That\'s almost four years of playing time, on and off. I had a beautiful little Draik (dragon)... black, with firey flamey patterns. 611 days old today.

Why am I saying this? Two days ago my account was stolen. Lost everything... lost all my points... items... and my little Draik. My little pretty dragon...

A few days previous to the hijack, I entered him into the site\'s beauty contest; you draw a picture of your pet and submit it, then other people can vote for the best picture and the pet wins a little trophy.

Here\'s Mogura Koumori\'s picture that I entered for him:


I\'ll never win that competition now. But perhaps the person who now owns my little dragon will. I\'m glad that a nice, friendly, caring person managed to pick up my dragon from the adoption center... If you have a Neopets account, please vote for him. It\'s the last thing I want to see happen, before I quit something I\'ve spent four years of my life playing. Thank you.

*leaves sadly*

Sad 4 years ruined...experienced something like that and I know exactly how you are feeling...nice picture.

[FESFES]

WOW that last one is really REALLY good.....I couldn\'t draw a stick man if my life depended on it =(

Moggie that really sucks about what happend to you you\'ve got great talent though and if even if you don\'t win you should know that you\'ve got real talent

[Moogie]

Moogie shouldn\'t dabble in things like this... she may be able to summon it, but like hell can she actually control it...


[Edit: And I have no idea why she can summon massive pit demons from Hell... maybe she\'s not telling us something... o.o]

[Jadd]

\"I said \'Lemonsmell\', not \'demon from hell\'. Darn, I must pronounce it better...\"

Ah, so Moogie specialize in the Dark way? I though she was only able to summon cute and fluffy animals, but it looks like I was wrong

It\'s a very nice picture by the way. I especially like how you have caught the hair-motion, the lights looks really good, and the demon looks really nasty. A fine piece of art there

[smoak]

what do you mean Jadd, that dosent look cute and fluffy to you?
but really, great drawing, the coloration around the eye is interesting.

[Moogie]

Yeah, the layers started to act strangely, that\'s actually a partially transparent lense flare showing a bit of the cloudy background... :S Not quite sure how that happened.

\'Tisn\'t much of an \"effort\" pic, more like another little playaround like my Aliathi profile pose. I doubt Moogie could do this in reality- she has no skills in casting magic of the Dark Way, so maybe it\'s just a dream... or a nightmare.


Edit: Might aswell stick the original pic of Moogie that I used in the above \'nightmare\' scene here.

Big ugly thing! USE THE DAGGER IN ITS EYE!!!

[Neschama]

Hi there
Time to die  -^^v

Your stuff reminds me  of my own art  few years ago,
 well theres some general tips id like to give ya and one is realy important to me :
don\'t use photoshop ,I know this sounds hard but if you realy want to use it get an artpad, and  if youre using it forget all those efects its the most worse thing you can do, it will just damage your art, please trust me in this point.
Another thing is drawing means understanding, without knowlege you wont be able to draw any better, so try to draw a lot from life, if you wana become better at human  shaped bodies sketch humans from life, attend life drawing classes, which are great fun by the way, there is no other way to get rid of those problems, i realized this 2 years ago, dont make the same mistake...

well theres the kylros or however this thing is spelled



there are quiet a lot issues so I just sketchet some baisic shapes over the whole thing, there are alot  possible poses  ive choose this one considering the arm with the sabre it might look  this way.
The major change was twistiting the torso slightly in order to get the arm in the right position,
The legs are to short usualy 1/2 of the body

To get smoe authentic folds you need to know where the legs are, even guys like Da Vinci or Michelangelo sketched their figures naked bevore they dressed them up,

Dont focus that much on the out line, try to imagine youre sketching something with volume, there is no outline in rl anyway...

As I said your art is very similar to my stuff  those days, I ve  a Mentor who thought me alot about art an is still, and thats prity  the same thing he told me 2 years ago ^^

I hope this will help ya, If theres something that might offend you - it wasnt meant that way

keep drawing

[Moogie]

Thank you, it\'s a real pleasure to see a sort of \'professional\' critisism (professional compared to just the general \"I like/don\'t like\", anyway) and your advice is muchly appreciated. It\'s obvious that you have had proper art classes and know what you\'re saying, and the way you explain with the sketched-over drawing is extremely useful (I even learned a few things by studying your advice to Kayruu).

You havn\'t posted any artwork here yet, have you? If you have I think I must\'ve missed it... well, anyways, I\'d love to see some examples.

[Kintall]

Hmm... I must say I am very much in agreeance with Neschama, on all but the Photoshop usage, but that comes more to personal preference than a technical fault, whilst I will admit there are more than a few \"filter junkies\" out there who rely on the inbuilt features of Photoshop to gloss over the failures in their skills, there are also some brilliant digital artists out there, some budding ones too, these may range from those who (like myself) use both traditional mediums as well as Photoshop, to those who use digital mediums alone to accomplish their work.

One other flaw I often see in excessive Photoshop use is the inherent laziness that comes with automation or computerization, where one uses the labor saving aspect of technology to the point where they no longer know, or are confident how to perform that task any longer

And as far as what Neschama said about strengthening the basics, I cannot possibly agree more, no artist in the world is truly \"complete\" in his ability to depict the inherent depth in the simplicities of the human form
On such example was a set of two paintings I once saw, each of them depicting a hand one closed and another open. The first was amazing in its show of anger and destruction... shown by a simple fist, the second was as I said a simple open hand but showed a kindness seldom seen in full figure artworks

So yeah...  master the basics... (You never will but I think tiring is the point) and don?t become complacent


gosh youve gotten better since I been away..

[Icefalcon]

@Kintall - its about time you showed up again.

@everyone else - Kintall it one of those \"brilliant digital artists out there\"

@Moogie That pose in your nightmare scene is awesome! I wish I could do that... /me drools

And about that splash screen. Personally, I thought Nanaki\'s was a little...well, boring. The characters look great, but it needs something more. Your\'s however is very cool, I think the only reason it was rejected was because it had no characters. I think if you and Nanaki would combine your splash screens, it would be amazing. What I really like are those circles.

Lets see, what else. Your Klyros definately had something wrong with it, as Neschama pointed out and fixed. You should redo that pic.
