SeanW --- and others, I thought I would post up this line drawing for you to colour if you would like. Its from a previous sketch I posted a while ago. You can see it here

I thought you might like to add your own backgrounds to make each one seem different.

I hope you have fun. Sorry that I couldn't post anything 100percent new but I have been rather busy.

enjoy yourselves. I look forward to seeing anything you come up with if you want to give it a go.

oct 30
I drew this at the breakfast table this morning. The pose originated in an ancient japanese painting I remember seeing in a japanese tapestry book at a friends house once. I liked the unusual hand position (yes the hand position messes with my head too. Thats why I like it!!)so I drew a more contemporary character in a similar position. PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT.

I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO COLOUR IT, IF POSSIBLE AND POST IT HERE!

I love it. You did that at breakfast? Shit!

Arrgh. What's happening to his arm!

Snyper · Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2001 7:28 pm

Reminds me a bit of Haggar in Final Fight except with a sword.

Very nice work Shiro.

Great drawing. I like the pose and linework but his right hand is going beyond the point to where it would be breaking. Later man.

Anthony · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 2:36 am

I agree that his hand must be off. I did a 10 minute paint of it, in the Halloween theme. Spooky, ain't it?

OK, so maybe it's not spooky =]

SeanW · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 6:29 am

Well heres mine, played with lighting, well at least tried.

The_Anarchist · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 8:31 am

Actually his elbow is not beyond breaking
My 'lil bro's can bend his elbows that far so this guy is double jointed like him.

Shiro_tengu · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 4:58 pm

The_Anarchist - Thankyou, actually my arm probably would break but there are Japanese members of my Iaido class that can do that without a problem. The ability to hyper extend the arm is due to flexability. I have rung my friend who had the original painting from old japan that had the similar pose. I will hopefully scan it off him on the weekend and post it to show you all. Although - its only a painting as well. Anone with a sword and a digital camera should have a go copying the pose lol.

Anthony - nice work mate. Makes it look like he needs to fight off zonbies! Thats really cool.

SeanW - that looks great. This one looks as if its a duel between masters. I love the light rays and the skin tones. Also his hair is exactly the colour I imagined.
Its been great fun seeing what you guys come up with. thanks a lot.

Snyper - I dont remember that game well. can you post a pic of the character?

Thanks everyone.
Boy that arm was contraversal!

Monkey Majick · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 5:53 pm

That arm still gives me the willys. Coloured or un-coloured.

Highfive · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 5:56 pm

It must give him a distinct edge in combat because he can gross out his opponents.

Shiro_tengu · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 6:15 pm

Anthony - I had some fun with your painting. just took a minute so its really no big deal, just a bit of fun to keep in the spirit.

Anthony · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 6:54 pm

:] Glad I could inspire you!

Shiro_tengu · Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2001 11:02 pm

Anthony - I really like the stuff on your website as well.

I seriously need to get around to putting up a website

Anthony · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2001 1:42 am

Cool, thanks - my recent stuff doesn't even show up on the site, it's all in miscellaneous directories :] You oughta get some stuff together and get a gallery up, it's good for publicity!

Brain · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2001 3:52 am

My attempt. Really, I just coloured him, no bg or anything. Pants are obviously rushed.

~30 mins

Shiro_tengu · Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2001 10:22 pm

thats cool brian, thanks.

2 hours...
newbie mousework

Mindsiphon · Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2001 7:14 pm

Colored this quick.
This was fun.

Shiro_tengu · Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2001 10:17 pm

You guys are the greatest. Fantastic work. It so cool how I sat here on the West coast of Australia and drew this. Then you guys from the east coast of Australia, the United States and even Bulgaria coloured it. How cool is that. The world is shrinking!!

R1dler - you did that with a mouse!! you would be deadly with a wacom. Even the small tablet for around $250 Australian, will change your life. (mind you I only have one at work!)

raist --- I just love that wrinkle work on the clothes. You also picked that the trousers were not jeans! Very seriously nice.

You guys all rock!!

Anyone - Give us a yell if you want me to do more line work for you to colour. I had no idea so many people would like to do this. (and all so well).

SeanW · Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2001 11:52 pm

Yeah I would love to do more line work, had tons of fun.
Raist, I love the bump texture you did on your pants I tried to achive the same thing but I feel you pulled it off really well, great job

BiGJoN · Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2001 6:49 am

Yeah Australia!!!

SeanW · Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2001 2:29 am

w00t! I think I have to learn alot before I can do that...

Are you guys working just with Photoshop to get that painting effect, Photopaint, or what...?

I will try with the girl, but - I've got homework to do - and, I am not as good as you...

But I'll try

Shiro_tengu · Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2001 7:27 pm

Jr - cool stuff 30 mins - nice quicky mate.
SeanW - hope I dont mess with your homework.
t4fF - Yes it is - did you read the caption? Actually one of the guys in my office can do it no problem but it still messes with my head!

lazydead - Those lazy dead zombie dude are creepy. Man that picture looks awesome. excellent, cool pic.

You guys have some seriously cool ideas. I love seeing what you all do its good fun.

laslauk · Posted: Thu Nov 22, 2001 12:45 am

Lazydead: I like a lot, beautiful work.
Her left shoulder area is missing the faint green light coming from the left. I think this would be just fine even without the green halo. But anyway, just beautiful.

yaa · Posted: Fri Nov 23, 2001 3:16 am

i really like the first sketch and really dig lazyheads coloring, except for the face being smudged a little in the paintover. the sketch itself has a pretty cool face.
sorry but cc's at 3:00 in the night tend to be kinda unconstructive...

also the left leg of the chap seems kind of awkward. firstly, i think the leg should face inward (so that the left shoe is kind points inward maybe?) the way its drawn, the chest and the left knee point in different directions which is kind of hard to do (i just tried)...

HTH
