Golden Kittens Characters

[GoldenKitten]

Alright I say characters because I don't go showing off every drawing I do...most of them suck . However I like to draw my characters up on occasion if I like them enough so over time I may include them all.

However first up is Torre in her Resurrección. Now I will highlight the problems since I am super critical of my work. First yes I drew this in mechanical pencil and yes it is abomination against all things holy....next... Those alternating black and white things behind her are supposed to be her cape and yes that’s supposed to be her sword, I tried to shorten it to fit on the paper but that would have made it look far to small (and hell in Resurrección its actually smaller than her usual blade). I screwed up on the left (her right) arm several times so I apologize for all the pencil marks over there. Next up yes I know that I say her legs are in chain mail in the profile but I just could not find a way to do it without them looking as if they melded with the skirt above so I figured nobody would notice...BUT I DO.... Then the whole look is far too metally and not Hollow enough, I meant for the whole arms to look like the upper arms...but bleh. Finally I am sure you will notice...THE LACK OF FEET...this is quite honestly because I screwed up with the proportions SO many times that the paper was a horrid piece of crap riddled with pencil marks so I just gave up, forgive me.

Edit: I just noticed a major screw-up...in Resurrección her blade is stuck in her right hand permanentely...I am sure you can see it is quite obviously in her left hand...damn me to hell.

I know it sucks, don't be harsh I just wanted to have fun drawing Torre...I sorta succeeded.



Just for the sake of getting it right Zhiel editted it real quick to fix some of those wrong side issues out of what I can only assume was pure boredom on his part . Regardless here it is if you want to see, still I leave the first up because will...its the first .

Second Picture

Eh yeah, boredome. But yeah I wouldent have noticed the one big issue (her apparently holding the sword in her right hand when its supposed to be stuck to her left) unless GK had told me, and so I opened the picture in paint and did some quick editing, very simple and prety crappy you can probably tell xD Gotta install photoshop already.

Overall its a very nice picture and in my oppinion better than any of mine

[Kazama]

Meh I have some drawings... but since i use pictures it doesn't matter for me. I think they look cool.

[Gahrok]

Wow thats a pretty good sketch man! You got sum skills!

[GoldenKitten]

Thanks it is one of my better ones, which is sad really. I have a knack for finding something new to dislike about my sketches everytime I look, lol.

[Kazama]

I like it a lot. Try drawing a full body of Hina *failed*

Torre looks so innocent xD She looks like her mom just yelled at her for taking a cookie and she is heartbroken.

"Oh noez mah cookiez Dx"

[Jukuma]

Not too shabby...

I like the drawing overall but what really called my attention was the outfit; its quite creative and you pictured the movement succesfully, which tends to be some people's nightmare. I wouldn't say the fragments don't look "Hollowish" enough; metal is more shiny than that so I think it looks more Hollow than metal.

Maybe you could've made the 3 a bit more Espada-like, but I'm guessing you were it wouldn't fit well enough. Finally, I can see its true what you said about the hands XD

I encourage you to keep drawing other characters as well.

[GoldenKitten]

It's Jager. Albeit shorter that he's supposed to be and looking more sane than I'd like, regardless by far the best image I've made of him by a long shot. Mostly my own work, just used a reference for the eyes but they wound up looking so different in the end I don't think it even counts.

Was trying to see what sort of effect the dark charcoal against minimalistic coloring of one or two shades would do.

I like it overall even if it's nothing special in the big scary world of art.

[kensei]

Didn't know you could draw that well haha. I like both of them, but gotta admit i think the Torre one looks better.. I just can't accept Jager without him killing someone, or doing a pyramids thing with his hands. Both look good, but like you said. Jager looks to sane. Haha

[GoldenKitten]

And now Hana. Ready to annoy the crap out of Mini-sama.

I'm including the charcoal and non-charcoal because unfortunately while outlining it I smeared the face. Since it was already colored in that made it virtually impossible to fix without a computer. But I include it anyway because it didn't ruin it, it's just obvious.

It's obviously not a perfect picture but being my first successful pose not staring STRAIGHT at the "camera" I can't find much to complain about as far as my amateur skill level is concerned.

[GoldenKitten]

Ever since I posted the first Jager pic I just haven't been happy. The art was fine for my skill level but I just knew, "That ain't what Jager looks like, THAT'S A FIVE YEAR OLD!". So I set out about creating a more...Jagery Jager. Lo and behold the result, still not perfect but faaaar closer to the canon.

Used some pictures of suits for reference but still free-handed and guesstimated it.

Made a promise to myself, going to try to do full body shots from now on including hands and feet, especially the former, in multiple positions. That's clearly where I need work (faces to, but since those are sort of non-voluntary I don't include them) so I figure throw them in at different angles and I've got to improve to a degree.

Edit: Zhiel pointed out the small head. I know it's difficult to tell as I'm not skillful enough to put across angles but if you look at how the eyes, hair and head are positioned you may catch what I was going for. The intent is that he's holding his head backward a bit with the chin somewhat in your direction and "Looking down on you."

...thanks a lot Zhiel, my first semi-success and now all I see is FAILURE!!!
