RATTY'S DRAWINGS AND OTHER ARTSY THINGS
Posts
So I tend to downplay my artistic role a lot on these forums, but I'm actually a blossoming cartoon artist and animator. The reason why I downplay it to begin with is because I'm a bit overly concerned about reputation, and I tend to never think of anything as being my best work. But yeah, I do draw and stuff, so I might as well try to get over my insecurities now!
Drawings and Doodles:

During a plane ride, I came up with the thought that if the rabbit survived the next big mass extinction event, what would it evolve into? So I came up with a long-necked herbivore (bottom left); a beefy rabbit carnivore (upper right) and a rabbit primate (bottom right).

Initial drawings of some vermin-like characters for this flash animation project I'm thinking of doing. It also contains some sketches trying to figure out a good camera angle for the establishing shot.

Two monkeys, and one of them farts. I was trying to go for a more "graphic" style seen in most television animation. I planned on refining it into a digital image later, but I haven't got around to it yet.

This is something I sort of crapped out trying to encourage and demonstrate construction to an 11-year old who wants to draw. The poor thing has an underbite and messed up horns and wings, but yeah I don't generally plan stuff out when I'm drawing on the fly.

A thing I did because I felt like it at the time.

This is what happens when you leave me alone to doodle.

And this is what happens when I have no idea whatsoever.

This is the initial process work I came up with for "Ezzo," who I'm going to use as a personal mascot for my artwork. Just showing my thought process when I actually make planned designs of characters.

These were the initial results I came up with for the above character.

Finally, I refined both the design and the pose in GIMP, coming up with this final result.

Something I'm doing recently is designing the main characters for this Sonic the Hedgehog-styled game idea I have for IGMC. The one on the left is my first drawing of the main character of the game, the one on the right is a cleaner variation I made after hating the other one. I still have to work on her.

The main antagonist of said game idea. He's actually the younger brother of the main character who happens to be an evil genius. I was kind of going for "Albert Einstein" mixed with "Loid (from Mother 1)" in this design, but I think I might work on it more.
Life Drawing and Studies

One of my many attempts at figuring out the damn hand.

A movement study I did while observing someone sitting at their desk and conversing. Also trying to figure out how to pose a hand holding a pencil.




Animal sketches I did at the LA Zoo. I personally like the sleeping otter I did in ball-point pen, even though it wound up incomplete because the critter I was observing suddenly got up and moved.

These are the assets I made when I was working on Chaos Sword, all made within the confines of the full color NES pallete:

I've also made some Pokemon "devamp" sprites in the style of R/B/G:











Every time I look at Talonflame, I think of how much of a disgrace it looks. It takes a special kind of person who be able to revert to a sucky style of spriting.
Long before this and Pokemon RMN version, I made G/S/C -styled fakemon for a fan game that I've since abandoned:

Very nice! My favorites are the pixel facesets and monsters. Those facesets are really pretty and the monsters look cool! :DDDD

Thank you!
That looks really good, especially the pixel art. Have you considered submitting those Chaos Sword assets as a resource pack?

Not really, but I guess I wouldn't care so much since I'm not actively working on the game.

A very quick photoshop painting I did to give you guys a sneak peak at my upcoming IGMC game, provided if I get it finished.
I'm diggin those pixel arts too. Those face sets would really look at home in the old shining force games! Very pro quality work =)

SUCH STYLE
you have a very good sense for animatable designs and just making great silhouettes
and conveying personality! really great stuff

Seeing that painting again reminds me of how I need to get better at finishing stuff that I start.
But anyway, here's more stuff:
I did a doodle of a sloth in one of my classes a while back. I fucked up on the legs.
These are a couple of pages of some animal life drawing I did of my sister's pet rabbit. It was nice to do these, especially in a medium like ink which doesn't forgive you for anything. Of course that means that many of these look like Smerps as oppose to rabbits.

i really like the way the rabbit sketches turned out! a lot of different perspectives too. so cute x)
This gallery is versatile! Your cartoon style and facial expressions are simply adorable~
I'm also impressed at how much you were able to catch of the rabbits. I've tried realism sketches, but I've never been able to actually draw their full bodies before they move.

Thanks!
With animal drawings, one thing you just have to get over is that the creature is not going to stand there and look pretty for you. You kind of have to be patient and study the animal's physiology before drawing, or take a snapshot of their pose in your mind before it moves. It's more challenging to work with, but that's what makes it fun for me.
Yeah, that is definitely what makes it challenging. I used to be okay at it back in school, but now, I get too fascinated by the extra details and just start adding before the shape is even finished.
That is some pretty good advice; I've always thought that the best approach was to grab your paper quickly and just sketch away before it moves, or just draw something sleeping. Thanks, I'll have to try that next time.
It's both been long since I posted in this thread let alone did anything art-related just for the fun of it. Maybe I won't quit yet, also the opportunity of subtly teasing Liberty was an offer too good to pass up:

A digital painting of my RMNmon: Chi-Nun
Don't worry, Liberty, you'll find one eventually! :P
