THE RIOTRUNNER MAKES MEH EYES BLEED! GAH, THE POOR SWORDY IS BEATED WITH ITSH LEGZ!
But that doesnt mean it wasnt fun to draw or color eh?
So, in order for me NOT to spazz out, I used my handy-dandy little Rigging System (which isnt always perfect, but good enough for me to use at my basic drawing level ;3; ) that I use for situations such as these! <3
Anyhow, I did enjoy drawing RiotRunner for *mechanicalkat, whose human characters, futuristic ideas and mechanical beasts make me daydream with quite the imagination! xD (corny way of saying WOO THAT WAS FUN Plus, I think I may have made a ah break through! :3 Using either Reeves or just plain any-old color pencils work wonderfully actually (not stopping me from saving some money and begging for Prisma colors though, hur!) and Im almost, so close I can taste it, to getting to a point where I feel will propel me further into my work on ST!
Everyone may have known thatve been really busy, not to mention freaked everyone out on the whole leaving thing (depressed guys, bad >3< and then suddenly saying Im back situation, so yeah but aside from that, Im almost at the point where Ill be doing a lot more of my own work, humans (anime-ish), land scapes (ish) animals (ISHY) and more stuff (ISSSSH).
So, to know about the RiotRunner now!
The RiotRunner belongs to MechaKat (or Mecha or Kat, seriously, she doesnt mind xD I like to call a lot of my best buddies Ol Buddy or something) its front legs are an elongated part of the wrist and seem to allow it to Riot? Still confused as to how it moves really (it magically appeared wtf!), but was a great challenge for me to do (I wanna do Shiva sometime as well, dunno when, but if I can get some time this Summer and look through her stuff, I may unearth some stuff xD) and I enjoyed the structure of it immensely.
Thats about it really, comments are loved as favs are, but please FTLOG (for the love of gawd) critique me! :U
Awwwww, this turned out great Swordy! The colors, the colors! The traditional riotrunner against the computerized background actually turned out really well! O It's really difficult to blend the two together sometimes, you know? : x I also like how you gave it a blue tongue! Awww! That's so cute. I definitely think your colored pencil work is improving, too. <33 Looks great!
Also I commend you on tackling the riotrunner instead of Shiva! XDD I know the riotrunner legs are really...odd 8'D and kind of difficult to pose sometimes, but it looks like you got it! Someday I'll make a gif animation of the legs moving so everyone can gee how they move. :0 But the reason they're called 'riotrunners' is because herds get really excited easily...excited as in agitated, and they tend to stampede and tear up everything in their way. Hence, 'rioting' This one looks like it's about to charge! Like it's kind of kneeling down to angrily shriek at something, then going to charge. Wheee!
Thanks a lot buddy!
Question! What's a rigging system? o3o; Do you mean like an actual thing, or something you're setting up on paper to help figure out where all the legs go? *is not sure*
A Rigging system is where I take a couple of basic lines and circles and set them up in the pose I want. Then I add the more complex parts "square" for the torso "oval" for the type of head it is (depends) cylinders for the legs, etc! It provides me with as realistic proportion as possible!
And I'm still working on bones etc, so it's not perfectly "to the true" thing, but it's as close as possible as I can manage it.
Thats what a Rigging System is! It's also how one can animate, instead of guessing how something moves it all flows in a particular movement. <3
Thank you as well, I'm really happy I did the RiotRunner, I may do Shiva some other time actually, right now I'm looking up Art Colleges etc. :3

One more of the things I'd like to do this summer... make a short animated flick on ST! <3 Another reason I'm working on rigging systems.

Um... Uh... Criqitue will once again be hard as I don't know how Mecha draws him....
You could probably work on your coloring a bit, make it look all together more smooth. Does that make sense?

To live is the challenge.
Too bad I died long ago.
