My mondo gecko fanart...

[Nickokapo]

I'm not a very good artist :embarass: but i already scanned one pic to show to mondo gecko and...well...i felt like posting this :goofygri:

Hey, that's actually pretty good! Probally better than I could ever do! :)

[Nickokapo]

Thanks :) btw i would like to point out that mondo gecko does not have beard in the second pic, its just shading that went bad :P i didnt wanted to erase it because i might erase his mouth or maybe his chin :teek:
I'll post more if i find other stuff worth posting.

[persephohi]

Hey, these aren't bad at all. I really like your shading, it adds a nice bit of dimension to the drawings. :)

Wow looks very similar to my redesign that I sketched up during class. Except mine doesn't wear a hat :roll:

[Nickokapo]

*edited out* whoops :ohwell:
im working on a pic of mondo and mikey skating, tho im not really all that happy with it...i'll post it here when it's done...hmmm i might have to ask krang if he wants to host my art, angelfire sucks.

[CookSux]

Hmm I wasn't saying that in a negative way. I was just saying that we have similar visions. Sheesh :roll: BTW I never claimed that you copied my art, I never even scanned the picture to begin with ;p

[Nickokapo]

...
Oh...i thought you got offended because you thought i copied your art :teek:
Sorry :|
Oh and i never saw the picture itself either that's why i didnt know which picture you were refering to :embarass: i just...jumped to conclutions...sorry for attacking ya, i feel very ashamed :oops:

[cqb101]

Cool pictures.....

[Jephael]

Nice work, Nic! It's defintly better looking than my work.

[Nickokapo]

Thanks guys... :anime: Jeph nice pic, it reminded me of a ninja turtle i drew on my house's wall some years ago...tho i didnt colored it.
I should color my work like jeph did, but since im not very good at it i'm just waiting untill i learn how to color in photoshop...i might do a pencil colored one for the heck of it but i dunno how it might turn out :P
Hmmm...oh btw the skating pic is i was doing turned out so-so, gecko came out fine but i couldnt draw his friend mikey, then i got frustrated and started trying over and over again...and now his body looks weird :blanksta:
Should i post it anyways?Or else i'll just do a human gecko pic tomorrow and skip the skate one :)
Edit: OMG!

Lisardo already did a pic of human mondo...so i guess i'll have to think of something else.
Amazing what you can find on google :oops: ah well..

[CookSux]

Actually I can't see it, but just because something's been done before doesn't mean you can't do it.

[Nickokapo]

I know but i don't wanna step on anyone's toes by ripping off ideas or anything...
I wanna do it tho, humm...well it's not like i'm going to copy the exact same drawing, i just wanna draw a human gecko my way :D i think i should do it anyways.

[Nickokapo]

Well here's my try at a human mondo gecko piccie, i dont like his legs, and i cant draw hands so thats the best it'll look but i guess its fine, besides, if i draw everyone just standing i'll never get better :P

I hope lisardo wont mind :ohwell:
I'll post the skate pic later.
Hey, these aren't bad at all. I really like your shading, it adds a nice bit of dimension to the drawings. :)

Yikes, sorry i havent seen this comment before :embarass: you like my shading?Cool :D Shading is what i enjoy to do the most in a drawing, tho i never studied how to do shading or anything so its by no means perfect, but its been getting better with time i think :)
Specially considering my first mondo gecko pic had no shading at all :dead:
well a bit of shading in the neck and that's it.

[HorseTechie]

Ooooh... :o

The Nicko does draw, and draw pretty good, he does. Awesome, dude. :D

Oh, the Human Mondo on Lisardo's site is not by her (she wishes she could draw that well). It was by some rabid Mondo fan... TheRendy, I think. Lisa's just posting it for her. But I bet TheRendy won't mind. In fact, if she ever finds yours, she may save the pic to her collection. :lol:

[Nickokapo]

Oh i see!Well im relieved to know she wont mind :P in fact its nice to meet another mondo gecko fan hehe.
BTW thanks for your compliments!I've seen JOOR art and i gotta say wow :P i think i stumbled upon it while looking for tmnt fanart at elfwood.
I'm hoping i get as good in anathomy as you but with humans instead of horses, 'till then i'll just practice :evilgrin:

[HorseTechie]

aww shucks... :oops:

Yeah.. horses are one thing I can draw blindfolded. Takes some effort and observations for me to draw everything else. As they say... practice maketh perfect! :D

[Nickokapo]

True true!I hated not being able to draw, then i figured one needs practice...
Someone once said you have 10,000 bad drawings in your system, only when you get em out you can start doing good drawings...i dunno if it was chuck jones or walter lantz.
*goes off to scan the skate pic*

[CookSux]

Asides from the anatomy being a little off... the hat has got to go. Unless you live by people who wear helmet sized hats on top of their hair.

[Nickokapo]

:lol: i noticed that, in fact you wouldnt believe it but was even MORE bigger at first :P then i erasedsome of it hehehe...
I still wanna draw him with a hat, but not that big, maybe i'll have to re-draw the whole head...ugh! :oops:
Well i wasnt planning on upping this but im running outta stuff so here's the skating pic
http://www.angelfire.com/linux/sitehpwnage/BestBuds.jpg
Pay no attention to mikey whatsoever, he's totally anatomically incorrect :P i was just trying to draw a mikey but it wouldnt come out very well and i gave up.
I like mondo gecko in this picture to a degree, but that's about it.

[kyabetsu]

i like your stuff Nicko... you're right, practice is key.

the only suggestion i've got is that you get yourself some darker leads...
b/c your drawings are SO light! i wanna SEE 'em... don't be shy. PUSH HARD. DRAW IN INK!! or with a fine tip marker! it does make erasing more difficult, but you'll see that you get a clearer feeling of MOTION with that kind of thing... a hazier outline that implies movement and can give your art a distinctive "stylized" flare....

anyways. yeah. even if pen is too permanent for you, at least push harder w/ that pencil. those cool anime eyes of your should really sparkle with just a little more contrast.

but yeah. those are sweet drawings. keep it up!

[Nickokapo]

Thanks for the tips, i rarely modify my drawings now that i think of it, so i guess i'll start using a pen once the sketch is done...i do have ink, but nowhere to put it in to so i'll just use a normal pen.
I'm glad you liked my art too, i like doing the anime eyes as i think they look better and can express feelings better thru em, tho some people hate the "big eyes" but i prefer em.

[SlayerX]

I think your picture with mondo and mikey skating is the best. I know you said ignore mikey, but i think the only thing ya gotta do is make him wider, and it should be good. im no expert, but that is my guess :P anyway, you are way better drawer than me :) i would get some pictures of random stuff I drew up, but i dont have a scanner :( !

[Nickokapo]

Its your fave?Thanks :P that's my least favorite but im glad someone likes it...i might do that pic again and totally redraw mikey to see how it turns out :)
Too bad you cant scan your stuff :ohwell: i just got my scanner a couple of months ago so i've been unable to scan for a while :dead:
I took kya's advice and inked a pic, and i think it actually turned out good, i'll go scan it now.
*bump* here it is:

[Nturtle]

Hey cool!!! I didn't know you could really draw Nicko, except for all those crazy photo manipulations :P
The inked Mondo is good!! You deffinitely have the shading down! :D

[Nickokapo]

Oh yay nturtle ya checked out my art too lol :rolling:
Yeah i've been practicing drawing after some months and im finally able to do some decent stuff :p
And yeah, shading is what i like to do most :) so i'll hopefully get better at that too...i gotta learn that light source stuff tho or else it wont look all that well

[Nturtle]

Cool, his eyes are all animeish!

[Nickokapo]

:lol: Yup!He's got the classic "big eyes", i prefer them over the other eyes.
I really think the 2 most important things in my drawings and the ones i should pay attention the most are the hair and the eyes.

[Nickokapo]

[HorseTechie]

Weeeee! He gots tail! :D

[Nickokapo]

Yup :anime: I can't believe i forgot his tail, i realized this after seeing jephael's pic again...im drawing him with a tail from now on tho.

[Nickokapo]

HELLO, IT IS ME AGAIN, NICKOKAPO THE NICKOKAPO!
The opening of a mutanimals site has inspired me to do some mutanimals fanart, and since part of the pic im doing has mondo gecko in it, i thought i'd post it here for all you mondonuts, which are...let's see...take 2...um, like 4 worldwide.
http://www.angelfire.com/linux/sitehpwnage/mutanimalsHQgeckosketch.jpg
Yes, i'm aware there's something wrong with his stomach :blanksta: damn it, that's what i get for trying to do a more real-ish pic :(
This is only a quick thing that i wanted to post here, the final one will be inked, 4th time the size of this because of the other mutanimals, inked, and i'll see if i can fix his stomach.
I scare myself sometimes, it looks like the tower of pisa :teek:
*edit* At last it's done!
Before seeing it you must understand aligators have freaky levitation powers! :sweatdro: ok i screwed up, but it's only because i rushed it because i wanted to get the pic freaking done so i could up it here >:p id recommend you to ignore that, also note that i was tired already when drawing wingnut and ray fillet so they dont look all that great.
And what mondo gecko has in his teeth are braces.

links are dead BTW... repost!

That's because this thread is 8 YEARS OLD, BUDDY. Don't bump an old thread unless it's relevant. The original poster hasn't logged in for almost a year, and even at that time they hardly ever posted.

[BoggleKng]

I have a feeling someone is searching for all the Mondo Gecko posts..

oh schnapp! Pineapple just made it relevant by thanking me for the inspiration to draw Mondo!

who cares how often they posted... maybe they'll be notified by the forum that their thread has been revived. oh no, we don;t want threads being added to ON A FORUM :roll:
