Webmonkey Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Pink kenshin it is!!! As always, first up is the base. It's approximately 5x5 inches square. Given the pink and white costume, I need to choose a color that goes with it. A grey maybe?,... some kind of flock?,... maybe freehand a yin-yang symbol on it??? Thoughts?

Webmonkey Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well here it is, the start of yet another anime model. Here's the base. Now I just need to figure out what exactly I want to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmonkey Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I've chosen a grey for the base, because I think it'll make the pink and white of the character really pop. It's not much to look at, at the moment though. I still think it's a bit bland, so I'm gonna freehand something on it for the eye to look at.

Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 took me all day,... but,... still needs a bit of clean up though,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 That's pretty balanced and smooth there Web! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thank you. I spent the whole day trying to get the lines right. Still seems a bit choppy in a couple of spots though. But overall, I think it'll look nice underneath kenshin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looks perfectly fine from what I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 A shot of the raw legs. Rather spindly legs though,... luckily the pants will cover them, mostly. (almost as spindly as mine,.. not near as white though *grin*) and with the basic skin applied,.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDarcy Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have always enjoyed looking at your work as it progresses since you started this thread. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks guys!! I appreciate the kind words. Been looking at kenshin pictures online. It seems to me that his socks (while wearing his pink shirt) seem to be a shade of dark-ish brown. Unless I'm seeing it wrong?? Also need to decide at this point if I'm black-lining this one. I'm still leaning towards yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 woo-hoo!!!,.... over 10,000 views!! I'm now officially 1/10th as popular as Mako,.... at this rate, I might even get to be one of the cool kids one day. *grin* either that, or all 4 people that read this thread check it "A LOT",... *laughs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 A couple of shots of the half-finished legs. One leg shaded and one not. and a couple completely shaded,... The shoes are actually a dark brown, but they look almost black in the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 That is not an attractive set of undergarments you've left him with there! You've really got those pastels down now, man. Lovely stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 no,.. they aren't attractive. But they are proper to time era. And again,.. luckily, you won't see much except the feet, once the pants are on. But still, I wanted to paint it all, just as a matter of course. And yes,.. I still swear by the pastels. So much easier then trying to work the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ooh, they never showed that in the Kurosawa films, lol. Probably a good thing... You went for the wanderer in the end then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 yeah,.. most people said they preferred the pink look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 small update,.. here's a photo of both halves of the pants. and with one half shadowed, and the other half not (for comparison) Up until now, most of the shading that I've shown has been the flesh stuff. But I thought to be a good example of what you can do with other colors. The night-time flash isn't helping me much though. I only hope that you guys can actually see the difference.

Mako Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 It looks pretty stark in terms of shadows, but then again so does the unshaded one so I suspect that ain't really the case. I'm really looking forward to this one, Kenshin is one of my favourite anime characters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
