Mona Lisa and more Ninjara

persephohi · 03-24-2003, 10:27 PM

Okay, first up is a little design for Mona Lisa from the old show. Human form, obvioulsy. Went with a little retro party-girl and a dash of preppie on the side look for her, which I think works with her bubbly personality. She'll look better colored, and yes her arm is too long and yes her feet aren't finished yet.

And next is Ninjara's human form. I changed her background story a bit, so instead of being one of an ancient race of fox people, I made her an actual Kitsune spirit from Japanese folklore. The tattoo on her back does have a purpose, but it's kind of involved. I don't think I should have shrunk these files down so much, I've lost some of the detail, which irritates me.

Dang, you have some nice clean character studies.

persephohi · 03-25-2003, 01:56 AM

Thanks! The scans are actually a bit grainier than the actual pictures. Sigh. Gotta clean 'em up in Photoshop.

Oh well.

Although I'm no pro in human art, I think you need to tweak your anatomy a little bit. The hands on Ninjara and her torso are shaped a little weird in the clothed pic. BTW here are some tips on scanning. Scan them in 300 dpi and the cleaning is much easier on a bigger canvas. All you have to do is do a simple image resize, and save on the highest setting for .jpg and bam, there goes your grainy problem.

Ooooo, thanks for the tip. I used to scan in 300 dpi but the files were too big even after I shrunk them. .... That made no sense. 300 dpi it is.

Yeah, Ninjara's hand turned out weird when I inked it for some reason. That happens a lot with me for some reason, I just chose the wrong line or something.

And her torso actually looked fine before I threw the coat on over it; now it looks all tweaky, but I swear it was a good foundation. I need to practice clothing. Thanks for the tips and suggestions!

Wow, even more amazing art! Damn, I'm jealous, I absolutely suck at inking.

**HorseTechie** · 03-25-2003, 10:48 AM

Wow... scanner and inking details aside, you really have a good start going. I love how you portray them so that the mood is set, and you could figure out half od the characetr's nature just from they way they look.

persephohi · 03-25-2003, 02:54 PM

Kali-- Hey, all inking takes is practice. I used to really suck at it too, but I'd practice on some of my not-quite-as-good art and looked at other people's inking jobs, etc, and got better at it.

HorseTechie-- Wow, thanks!

I try to get their personalities but it doesn't always work the way I want it to.

Ahhhhh a human mona lisa and ninjara, that's so cool!
There's been so many humanised tmnt characters that im wanting to make a human mondo gecko already

Nice

and i think the retroish stuff fits mona lisa well

persephohi · 03-25-2003, 03:12 PM

Ooooo, go for it, I'd like to see a human Mondo.

Thanks, I think it suits her as well. It always bugged me that in the cartoon she was originally human and when she got turned into a salamander (or whatever she was supposed to be) she suddenly had no problem running around practically naked. So when I finalize her lizard-look she'll be wearing her nifty little retro-style clothes. I have no idea why I just went off on that particular tangent there. I think I need food or something.

*Nickokapo* · 03-25-2003, 03:36 PM

Yeah i never thought of mona lisa with retro clothes but seems like it suits her well heh.
She needed some more clothing anyways

i'll draw the human mondo gecko pic when im done with the skating one

i think a human mondo gecko would be interesting to draw.

*cqb101* · 03-25-2003, 04:07 PM

Really cool pics I especially like ninjara......

persephohi · 03-26-2003, 02:20 PM

Thanks, I thought she turned out pretty well myself.

I'm getting lazy, I just want to draw her human all the time now. Foxes are hard! *whine whine*
