Well it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of BOREDOM, it takes looking at the picture on a TV screen or printed out (hard to do on the comp while you're drawing on the comp), and it helps to know how to draw.

Basically it starts off with little outlines that I make in a light grey. I don't make it the skinniest because the goal is to take it off later, so it's nice if it's a little thick so you can just "Background color" it in. You do the head, body, arms, legs, etc structures. Then you start fleshing it out. After you flesh it out carefully following what you see on the paper or TV screen, it comes out...like that lol You can so tell that I was fed up by the time I started fleshing out the group pic one of them because the faces look pretty sloppy lol It takes time.

So...basically what you would do on paper! :lol: :wink:

But seriously man, those are awesome, you totally showed me up XD
You wouldn't mind if I colored in that second one, and just posted it up as a coloring job, would you? If not, thats understandable! :D

No go ahead. It's cool :) It should be easy to color in, without the different colored pixels. You know, like when you take a pic off the internet. I can't imagine why it would have that. It is a J-peg and probably smaller than the original because image shack is like that sometimes...although ehh lol

I like the Superman one. Even though the form is not as great and stuff, I just was in a funny creative mood at the time. I didn't look at anything for that Gohan Superman one.

I find accomplishing projects with the "MS Paint/mouse" combination to be a huge pain in the ass, quite frankly . . . but without a scanner? I'm left with no choice but to whore it exclusively for all my art (including everything that has ever been posted to this thread) and do the best that I can to make it work. So in its own way, it becomes extremely rewarding when something comes out well using a technique that someone like me considers a severe handicap on what he can actually do given other options.

Big Momma, you've done a fine job with this. Though I detest thick lines for some reason (as I tend to overcomplicate things with "style" by making my lines of varying thickness depending on the individual bend or curve of a line), the outline is only a little less thick than that of an actual cel and gives it an authentic feel. The colors are faithful and the shading reminiscent of the actual scene, and it all comes together for something surprisingly pleasant to look at for MS Paint.

. . .

On behalf of SG2 and myself, I'm pimping this work in progress.

Read the Author's Notes for some preliminary insights and make sure to take heed of the Yaoi warnings before you actually start reading, and then have a blast with it. It's something far from finished, to be sure, but the chapters that we actually have converted so far? . . . we like, we like. And we think other open-minded TxG fans might, too. (Thanos, I'm lookin' at you.)

Ahem. It's not considered 'on my behalf' if you are posting my work without telling me first. :x

Either way who the Hell do you think will read it? The fic is already awkward for people who aren't familiar with my IGNO universe or characters, and this board seems a lot more focused on fanwork regarding the true universe characters and a lot less on OC's...especially OC's involved in graphic sexual situations with a somewhat more underrated true universe character. Maybe had you asked me before posting it I'd have been a bit more willing, rather than having you paint me to look like some kind of sick, perverted fangirl...which is...totally what I'm not...at all...mostly...

...Ahem. EITHER WAY ask before you post next time plzkthx. :x

I suppose, however, on that note, I may as well post my other fics on here, since I don't think I ever plugged more than IGNO on this thread before:

Just My Imagination
Rating-PG-13
Type-One-Shot (okay so that's a lie since it was intended to be a two-shot where I just...never got around to writing part II...)
Pairing-Trunks x Goten
Genre-Romance/Shounen-Ai
Warnings-May contain foul language and implied sexual content (male x male)
Additional Notes-First-person POV (Trunks), cliffhanger (onnacounna it's not/probably won't be finished any time soon/ever)

Ano Kimochi no Mukou~The Other Side of That Feeling~
Rating-NC-17
Type-One-Shot
Pairing-Trunks x Goten
Genre- <.<>.>...PWP Yaoi sex... *falls over*
Warnings-CONTAINS GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT (male x male)
Additional Notes-First-person POV (Trunks)

And finally, the fic I'm most proud of aside from IGNO,

Sekai ga Owaru Made Wa (Even If The World Should End)
Rating-PG-13 (Part I); NC-17 (Part II)
Type-Two-Shot
Pairing-Trunks x Goten
Genre-Romance/Shounen-Ai, Stupid Comedy, and more Yaoi sex (but it's not PWP!!! I swarez!!)
Warnings-CONTAINS GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT (male x male)
Additional Notes-I 'wrote' this like, 3 years ago, so this is the rewrite of a rewrite of a rewrite, but it's complete, and I's very pleased with it. :D

...Also d-don't let all the porn fics paint the wrong picture for you, because as I said, I'm totally not some kind of perverted fangirl, guys, srsly.

...

*cough*

Ok, I make avatars and wallpapers and and I have made a few for Dragonball:

Image

For this one I was trying to get the emotion that Trunks was feeling when Gohan died. I think it turned out very well. I'm using this as my desktop wallpaper right now! ^_^

Image

Mirai Gohan is one of my favorite characters and this was one of the best avatars I ever made. Too bad I can't use it. :lol:

Image

This is the version of the Avatar above that i'm using now. I think it turned out very well as well. I was going to put the text on it, but It wasn't working right, so I just kept it the way it is. I think it's also a bit darker as well, and I think it still looks cool. :)

I made two more that are about Tapion, because he is one of my favorite characters, he's the main character of my favorite DBZ movie, and he's the PERFECT subject for an avatar. :D

Here's the one I'm using on this forum:

Image

And here's the one I'm using for everything else. lol.

Image

I personally think the second one is better. ^_^

Thank you. You should see the other stuff from other anime that i've made. :D
Here's a "Motivation" thing I made off a site. It's not Dragonball, it's Eureka Seven, but you should still get the joke:

Hm... I wonder what exactly the big giant robot is doing... a Kamehameha perhaps? :D

Hey again everyone! I'm back with another Dragonball sculpture! This one, is of 'Emperor Chiaotzu' from Dragonball movie 3, "Makafushigi Dai-Bôken" or, "Mystical Adventure." He's actually been done for awhile now, but as you can see, the paint job took a while. Enjoy! As always, questions and or comments are always welcome :D

My Chiaotzu with a family of others!

Next up is Krillin-On-A-Buffolo, which has been done forever now, (Even BEFORE I even started the damn Chiaotzu!) but I'm still painting him... The Buffalo is tricky :wink:

Until next time!

@Oldphan: That is great! My favorite of yours so far.

Does the hat come off? It kind of looks like it does.

Thanks so much, Herms!

No, his hat doesn't come off... I think it might look that way because the part that meets his head is a little thicker than in the pictures. :)

Thanks again!

Oldphan, you. are. awesome.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]
