Bingo, it's a widescreen laptop.

I stand corrected Never seen one like that before (though most of the folks I know seem to be Mac people )...

I didn't have much time so I just did a quick sketch. I was really trying to pull away from the whole ponytail hairstyle, but damned if they don't happen to work really well in anime.

As always, trés cute!

Love It, Rusty.

Ponytails do work really well in anime... pity they don't live up to standard (most of the time) in real life. Or at least, not without using apparently a buttload of product.

Awesome man.

I would totally love to have my hair look like that. *jealous*

Lovely picture of Laine.

Man, Rusty! I really wish I could draw as well as you; then I could do Allison some justice outside of print description...

Long, long overdue, but I finally managed to replace the placeholder in Adam's second picture and replaced it with what it should have been.



It's basically the full size version of Sloane's shotgun that she had chopped down.

Verra nice.

But we need more cute pictures of Laine.

I figured that was the case, that's why I've already got one in the works

It's been a super long time since I've done anything with my artwork but yes, here is more Adam. As usual click for a larger image.



Now I need to get to finishing some of the Laine pictures.

Your artwork is awesome. 'Nuff said.

RIIIIGHT! I wanna say great job now Ill be in my room moping for my lack of drawing skillz which you have loads off!.

Nice one man.

Very good job! Would you be willing to drop by the drawing tutorials thread and surrender some of your secrets for drawing folds?

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them.

Took your suggestion and did just that.

Quick small update on some art.

Adding some more detail and tested out a patterned brush on this Armored Core fan-art. I'm not happy with the result though, so I probably won't keep the texturing.



Testing out various ways to color another Project Refrain character, this time Marron. I like the exotic look I've seen some characters have in anime, so I wanted to test it out. No shading, just a simple paint bucket fill.

Looks great, Rusty! I want to see a finished product!

Verra nice!

Oh man, Armored Core... haven't played that in ages (or sober for that matter).

Like the second girl's colouring too. Nice man.

I'm one of the few people I know personally who's even heard of the series. It's one of those games that polarizes people. Either you love the tinkering and nerding out over the details of making a giant mecha, or you hate hate how complicated and unforgiving the controls can be.

Yeah... the controls were not exactly user friendly, not aided from the fact that I believe they changed some of them around for AC3 (?). I've never owned a gaming console, so only ever played it at a mate's house and hence never managed to learn the controls well enough to tell the difference.

That said, despite consistently getting my arse kicked, it was a heap of fun.

Sloane Harper Character Sheet

I had lost this file a long time ago due to a hard drive crash (and stupidity for not backing it up ). I remember I had chosen the colors for this picture a long time ago over a lot of deliberation. After I had lost the image I didn't have the motivation to try to recreate the colors I had wanted so it got pushed aside. Luckily, someone had saved a backup of it for their own collection and was kind enough to send me a copy. I had almost forgotten some of the "fluff" info I had included so it was amusing to read.


Bonus, here is an old labeled version of the Sphereport satellite map I had made before. Text is probably hard to read without viewing it full size. For reference, Sphereport is like shoving the population of Texas into an area the size of Massachusetts. Lots of skyscrapers and high-rise apartments.

Great work, Rusty-Spring! I enjoyed looking at all of them and learned a lot studying them, especially the faces!

Great that you found them. I enjoyed the story, so it's nice to have some visual reference.

An unfinished artwork I did a long while ago. Something about it I didn't like. Pretty sure it was the arm pose and yawning facial expression that didn't come out the way I wanted.

Looks good to me. I suppose if she's just getting up you could make the clothes hang a little looser...I doubt Laine sleeps in tight-fitting clothes.

nice

she looks oh so very very niiiiice......

Padania agent 1: Where are you going? You realize she's one of them.
Padania agent 2: I.... don't.... care.... I used to wish for dying in my sleep, I think I just found a better way!
Great work!

Laine: "A girl has to look good at any time."

First time I've seen your art. It's awesome when someone sticks to a character and you see this progression with it. Keep at it.

Kara: "Talk about 'up close and personal'..."

Laine: "There is no kill like overkill."

W.o.w. . . . . .

As Laine is one of the OCs I am more comfortable writing, I keep an eye out for possible outfits she might wear in future stories. I thought this could work for her with winter approaching:
