hello.

Very good stuff... and very... disturbing. Can't wait to see more art from you.

Well now there is something you don't see everyday. I like it but the swing one is just to much. Can't wait to see more:D

those were pretty interesting. I liked bubbles1 and bunnies quite a bit.

Those are really quite interesting.:thumb:
It would be interesting to know the meanings behind some of them...:confused:
All the same...really good stuff...very, what's the word...unique?
yeah....my fav is the bunny one!

Rezo, you friggin' kick ass.
You knew that though. Anyway, These are very good and psychotic. A good mixture, IMHO.

Very good. You've got your own style instead of a typical anime style that I see everywhere.

original style. Some of them were pretty freaky but yet still I liked them. Especially the swing.

I really liked them all. If you made a wallpaper I would surely set it on my computer basing on the work you've just shown. Keep up your good work, Rezo.

You have a very good shading techique and it really gives the pictures that bit more feeling.

Thanks for all of the comments.

My most recent work.

Its a painting. Dimensions are 18x30", so a digicam was used to capture it. As such, the quality is low.

looks around


new.

I really do like this artwork, the style and simplicity is good. especially the bunny picture, very disturbed.

In the painting, I can't quite tell what that thingie is that looks like it's hanging out of her mouth (probably because of it being on a digicam and all.) Is she blowing a bubble like the girls in some of the previous pictures?

And the one you posted after that might be my favorite. It's awesome. Keep posting this stuff, even if lamers stop responding.

It's hard to tell what that thing hanging out of her mouth is because I did a poor job of it, but it's supposed to be a paper bag. I took a new photo of the painting with a better camera, so the comment I made a few months ago about the quality doesn't really apply too much anymore.

Ah.

I've got an idea. When people ask what it is, you should smile in a very mysterious manner, and say, "Well, that's for you to figure out. I'll tell you one thing, though--it's the key to the meaning behind the painting."

Bam, you're all over museums!

very cool, was the first one based on Battle Royale? it just reminds me so much of it

No, it's not based on Battle Royale, though I get that a lot. High school kids get bloodied up in other series too, though. =\

Anyways, though it's not really obvious in the pic, if anything influenced me in making it, it was Ito Junji's awesome horror comics.

All of them are fantastic, albiet a bit disturbing. The last one is probably my favorite, and I like all the webcomic stuff you did too.

This is a bit strange. But the first one reminds me of my cousin. Years and years ago, some kid in her class tried to throw a chair at her teacher. He hit my cousin in the face instead. She needed plastic surgery, and I recall teasing her about stopping a chair with her face.

I know the kid in the picture is missing a limb. But it came to mind.

I'm sorry.

Probably because of the stool lying on the ground next to her?

All of them are fantastic, albiet a bit disturbing.

I get this sort of comment often, not surprisingly, I guess. But it never really occured to me that I drew those sort of images until I started showing people online. Otherwise, I would just think "boy, this picture of the girl without a head on the swing looks neat!" =\

Here's a preview of a comic I'm going to attempt to work on on the side of the ribaldry youth.









I decided to shoot the comic in widescreen format. I told TK about it sometime ago, I think. I drew those all last week. The pages don't take much time to make, which is why I think I may actually have a chance at working on the comic seriously.

Awesome! I can't wait to start reading it. What do you mean by "widescreen?" They look like pretty standard-sized pages.

I just meant that all of the panels run from one side of the page to the other.

Ah! I see.

First chapter is finished:





Plus the cover for the first chapter:

and the cover for chapter two:

Some ink sketches. Done pretty quickly, and I didn't pencil anything out, so, yeah, keep that in mind.

Man, if you'd said you did pencil them out, I'd believe you.

Damn rezo, those are excellent! Almost makes me want to cry because I can't draw worth a fonk :(

Rezo, I love your art almost as much as I love reading what TK writes.

thanks. YOU SHOULD LOVE IT MORE.



It's super man having his stomache blown away by a mrs. "bakuen sakuru." I rushed the background with a brush because I wanted to get the image done quickly. But yeah.

That's awesome. Superman is such a loser.

Well, if he wasn't then he is now. That's probably a good %20 of his body mass.

Great job rezo, love the looks on their faces.

:erm: :erm::erm: :erm::erm: :erm::erm: :erm::erm: :erm:
Nice!
:erm: :erm::erm: :erm::erm: :erm::erm: :erm::erm: :erm:

color pencils. Kinda hard to get it to look right. It was taken from a photo. I may try and use one of the big scanners this weekend.

Well, it does look pretty cool. That bright shininess... is that the colored pencils, or the scanner?

If you mean the white surrounding the image, that was done in photoshop, when I was trying to clean it up. That's how the paper is, unfortunately, I couldn't have the whites in the main image section without screwing the color up, which is why the image is sort of dark.

No, I mean how the picture itself is kinda... I don't know. Shimmery? It actually looks really bright to me. o_O

Oh. That's the EXCESSIVE USE OF YELLOW.

Well... actually, the shimmery parts are white. =O

then...


If you mean the white surrounding the image, that was done in photoshop, when I was trying to clean it up.

=\

I'm all kinds of confused now. If you mean the kids shirt or something, I guess some white parts were entirely cancelled out from the small bits of levelling I did, and the contrast with the grey around them may give it a shimmer. =\

In the image itself, there's a lot of spots of white. That's what I mean. On the sand, on the kids, a little in the sky.

Oh, yeah, I went to check the image on someone else's computer(my laptop sucks for images), and I think it's just because of the messed up color balancing that gave it that effect. yeah, but I can see what you're saying now.

Ah! Okay.

Well, in any case, it actually looks really cool with that effect.

pretty big painting. 36x36

WOW

nice artwork!

*two thumbs up*

Wow rezo!! You're great man!! Nice artwork^^

WAW MAN!

Were you mad or something when you drew the last one? :-D

I've seen all the art in this topic now and I must say: WAW

I've got a bunch to learn!

Please show us some more

thoose are really impressive rezo-i love the colour pencil picture.
your style is really refreshing and is very original.
the early pictures are the good kind of abstract, not like some of the crap pics some people draw, who think showing themselves being killed makes them incredibly expressive and shows their artistic inner strugle (when its actually just middle teen, hormonal bed-wetter angst). i mention no names

anyway u rock, can't wait for the comic

Thanks. The comic has been put on hold though,as I'm currently working over time on my other comic, but I should be able to get into it seriously before the year ends. Hopefully... or I'll do something else and never finish it, who knows x_X

anyways, this was a quick oekaki I did recently. All drawn with my mouse straight away, and it was really easy to do so, because I have an OPTICAL mouse now... and apparently they are magic. Total time, 22 minutes... a few spent staring blankly at the screen deciding whether I wanted to do a BG or not:

I still can't believe you can do that with a mouse, even an optical one. X_x I guess I've never used one of those things, though.

What's an oekaki, though?

Online drawing boards. They have a really basic art program that you can use, and then when you're done the picture is posted to get comments and such.,

Oh yeah, I've seen those things. Those are neat devices.

new oekaki!

Rezo, you amaze me every time.
I realy love your art work.
I'm also making a wallpaper of it.
If you won't mind I'll spread it, with full credits of cource,
If you mind, I'll just keep it for myself ...

uuh... go ahead and spread it, I 'spose. Sure. What are you using for the wallpaper?

art of this topic, and other art if I can find it ...

Wow. All your new stuff looks incredible.

I've seen stuff done with an optical mouse before, but none of it had the pixelated type effect like you've achieved- how did you do it?

I just use programs that don't alias the drawing.

Most people draw in photoshop or something and use a tool that smoothes the strokes out, so it doesn't really matter if you draw it with an optical mouse or a pen on a tablet or whatever else. But for me, the pixellated look is pretty unique to computers, so whenever I draw on one, I just use simple art programs(oekaki, or my DOS program) and no special effects. Oekaki lets you draw with half-tones, so that's how I get the shading done with black dots. But I pretty much just stick with the draw tool and the fill tool. So it has a sorta game graphics look to it. Sorta. Sorta like a comic too, since I use black and white often.


While I'm here, here's a very old(4 years) fan comic I did for "THE KING OF FIGHTERS" featuring Ralf and Clark.,




I only found the pages recently. There was a page 3, featuring Clark performing the SUPER ARGENTINE BACK BREAKER on Ralf and then saying "HEY!" as he likes to do, but that page is LOST FOREVER.

pitty 'bout the lost page.
I'm looking forward to translate it ...

There's not much to the dialogue. It's,in order:

rough translation: "Let's do it, Clark!"

"Ok, Ralf!"

"GOOO! FIRE!"

"Now!"

"there?"

and "dakoom, pachi, bakiii" type sounds for the SFX.

I wanted to use their dialogue from the game before they fight each other, and since it was in japanese, I decided to just do the comic in japanese. It's unfinished actually... that's why some text balloons are empty.

That's so fucking cool.

The only thing that could make it cooler is if it had TERRY BOGARD!

wow, love the fan-comic.
i haven't done a doujinshu in months, i might start one this week.

Not the sort of thing I usually draw... since it's just a girl standing there. No background or anything There was a topic at the webcomic people board about drawing someone's character using someone else's style, so that's what this was done for:

Whose character is it?

A girl from Robot Stories (http://www.robotstories.com), and I attempted to do it in the style of Bad Blood (http://www.badbloodcomic.com).

If you ever get the urge to draw one of my characters, that would make me all happy inside.

Just if you ever got the urge.

I've thought about it before, actually. So I suppose I'll have a try at it at some point.

Rezo, you kick about as much ass as TK does.

And that's a lot of ass.

Wow. That doesn't look like you drew it at all.

It's excellent, though.

If you ever do draw some of TK's characters, post it here, or at least send me a link or something. I'd really love to see it.

Yeah. Me too! :D

those drawings i think were very deep i can honestly say that they were good but a bit disturbing. more good a than disturbing

Rezo, please...

I'm dieing for some more work of you ...
Once a week, at monday just isn't enough :p

I said it one, I said it twice, And I'll say it again.

Your work ROX!
I pity every monday cause I'll need to wait for another one to read on.
It's like a drug for my brains...


*bows*

you're a really good drawer rezo amazingly good!!!

:shock: holy sh**....I envy you, I really do....Those are some of the best drawings Ive seen yet.

just saying again really really good that's how good i think you are man.

//** OFFTPIC

I think somebody needs to get his posts number up :p

**\\ OFFTOPIC

Rezo gave me the idea to ink my works.
I know the inked ones aren't as good as the pensil-ed ones, but it'll come :)

Rezo, I don't envy you, cause envy is bad, it turns into hate once.

I just admire you.


*bows*

heh yeah i agree but oh well

You're drawings are always really good, rezo. I wanna know when your manga gets published.

GO REZO!

good job!

WOW! very cool, all of it. like the swing, creepy, and the ones with the child and bubbles, BUBBLES!. keep up the awesome sauce work!

Like the King of Fighters thing, this doesn't fall under "recent works", but whatever. It's an old Chrono Trigger fanart I did. In the summer of 98 I imagine. The paper is in ridiculously poor shape now, which you can kind of see:




I found it a little while ago, and someone mentioned Magus's cat in the pet topic causing me to remember it.

edit:

1 minute drawing of Mayo in Uwaki mode!

I feel very envious. But my hat's off to you. That's better than what I can do.

I really love that picture.

I couldn't even tell you why.

wow rezo your really talented artist, that scene si really gd, everything is great

I drew these straight away with a sharpie marker. The first one is how my pics usually end up when I do this(I use the thick marker as an opportunity to draw blood), I really like the second one and was a bit scared drawing the face since it's so hard to get thin lines, and the third one didn't come out how I wanted, so I took that as a sign to stop drawing.

http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/sharp2.gif


http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/sharp3.gif


http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/sharp.gif

Artistically you've been a big inspiration for me.
I'm just wondering, did you achieve the wondrous contrast in those pics by using a computer program or are you just that good?

I've been trying to use high contrast by drawing with Gel pens and I rell like the effects. Same thing goes for all of these, I really love high contrasting black 'n' whites.

Great job once again.

Well, I drew them with a sharpie, so it's just black ink on white paper, so there's not a big difference in the contrast on the computer and the actual images. However, if you know how sharpies are, then you'd know you get more of a really dark gray from them. so I adjusted the levels to make the gray a solid black. If I wanted to get a solid black on paper, I'd probably have to use ink from a jar and lay it on thick(you can usually see the stroke marks when you ink with a brush...though they're subtle), or use acrylic black paint. It's more of a question of materials than skill. If your tool doesn't make a solid black, then your skill isn't going to make it happen.

Ah, well, I thought it was possible that you were just that good.
:D

I was hoping there was some secret that you had to making the lines from a drawing smoother on the computer. =|
I think I need more than photoshop for that though. Kayin had a thread ofr that once, I think. I think it was for soemthing called...s...s...uh...damn, I dunno but it started with an S.

I REALLY like the first one. That's amazing that you can do that with no erasing.

What is pri-fun?

I was hoping there was some secret that you had to making the lines from a drawing smoother on the computer. =|

Oh... no, I just scan. The only thing I use the computer for is to adjust the levels and clean up specs of dust from scanning or something.

Though converting your art to vectors should smooth out the lines. I've seen some examples and it does a decent job of it.I don't like that, since it's basically having a computer do what you should be able to do on your own, but it's one route to take. I'd work on becoming satisfied with my own technique before using something like that though, just so you don't become reliant.

=(

Haha, sorry. You posted it the first time right when I was typing mine, so I never noticed it. Then I wasn't online for several days.

Print Clubs are those little booths where you sit in to take pictures in the mall. Pri-fun was an old console accessory that let you print off images from games.

But when I wrote it, it was as a variant of "print club". I decided to use that title instead of print club because that sounded too plain... plus she's holding the pictures in her hands so you can make the connection!

Ah! Curiosity satisfied.

http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/sharp.gif Whoa, nice pics. That's some good fucking ink-work right there.

I've been painting pretty much non stop for the last week and a half. This is
what I've done so far(All are acrylic on canvas. I have a half finished painting on my desk and another canvas waiting a few feet away from it for when I finish):

(16x20)


(ink and acrylic)
(16x20)


18x24)


(18x24)




The first and fourth are for the comic I'll probably be doing when I finish my current one. I had some problems on the first two paintings but have been getting re-acclimated to painting fairly well. I don't know how to work the image editing software, so I couldn't retain the color of them, but they're not too different beyond some loss in the vibrancy of the colors. =|

I entered the teacher character from my webcomic in a webcomic "hottie" contest!

Here she is in a yukata:



and here she is in a very revealing swimsuit!

OOMFG WHY RENT THESE IN LIEK TEH THRED DEY SHUD BE IN.


Anyway, you have sick drawing talent, and your shading is awesome. I love the girl on the swing. Its so fucking awsome. Damn. 9/10.

You have some unbelievable talent there that never ceases to amaze me.

Actualy your art here is one of the only reasons why I still visit ffshrine now and then.

Amazing is all I can say. There are some that a really like! You are really good, I really like that colourful one with the creature with the long legs, very creative :)

You have some unbelievable talent there that never ceases to amaze me.

Actualy your art here is one of the only reasons why I still visit ffshrine now and then.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

also, new stuff

Once again, the painting.I had to stop for a few weeks, so that's why I only have 3 done in a month =\



(18x24)



(30x20)



(24x30)




The first one isn't finished. I need to add some more text to it, but I suck at graphic art, so I'm not sure of how I'm going to add it yet. I had the photo taken so that I could tool around with a few ideas for how to place the copy on the computer. The second painting... the figure is so tiny in it on the computer screen, and it's dark in spots =\, and I'd really like the third if not for a few stupid mistakes =\ I think I like the first batch of paintings more overall, but I had more control with the paint this time around. So hopefully I can get some really good stuff done in November.

Eagerly awaiting the finalized version of the Lucky Strikes ad!

The small type is too difficult! I have a few finals to finish, but I'll probably have it done by the end of this week. =\

Turns out I didn't have time to finish it. But I did make this simple website (http://www.ribaldyouth.com/whiteplains). Navigation is done with the little image in the lower left. click on the girl for characters, the map for scenery(stuff I've already posted in this topic) and the bird for animals.

Nice work, I like your style.
wat he said

nice drawings man.. i like the comic strip one

Your style reminds me of the work of a classmate. He's basically a prodigy. It's sad though that he's shy about it, he's really nice though.

I really like the black and white pictures you've done. They're fabulous, rezo.

I love Mayo-chan ^_^. She's so cute.. I like Rally-kun, too. Mayo and Rally are my two favorite characters in your comic. And then there's those cute little.. um.. stuffed animal gnome thingies..

Did this some time ago in watercolors. It was for a project, and I did it the night before it was due while a bit feverish. It's kind of unfinished because some parts were wet(hair) when I decided to get to sleep.


But it's supposed to be Audrey Hepburn.


Also, I love Audrey Hepburn.

Wow! They are great! :shock:

.... and very interesting. :laugh:

that new one you posted is kind of creepy but it's still great

Just thought I'd say you have fantastic talent Rezo, keep up the fantastic work.

There good drawings.

Rezo, thou doth inspire me.

Thanks all. I did this as a guest comic:

Took about 4 days. The last four pages were done during the same day though as I needed to get it done.

Very nice Rezo. What was it done with? It looks like Indian inks from here, but then again it could be marker or normal ink.

very, very cool

Very nice Rezo. What was it done with? It looks like Indian inks from here, but then again it could be marker or normal ink.

Thanks. Yeah, it was India ink.

Incredible, with inks.

*hail*

That was great. You should like sell some on e-bay or something. They're really good.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Alright!! Lucky Strikes baby!!!

Nice pic, rezo.

New stuffs.

Girl on large mushroom:



Close up of said girl(note: this pic is actually 1/4 the size of the one above it. It's just blown up):



Both are ink on watercolor paper. The first was done on the toothy side and the latter on the smooth.I'll probably use smooth again if I do any more in the future and can't find any hotpress paper.

I like the girl on the mushroom. gj!

wow, i really like the mushroom girl. i've never used inks too much, i find them somewhat intimidating. but stuff like that makes me want to try.
keep it up

have you got a gallery/site thingy?

Nice I really like that mushroom one. Looks cool.

Damn, either I can't post a pic from my Documents or I forgot how. Someone remind me.

Nice pics though, Rezo.

If attaching it doesn't work for you, you need to find a place to upload your pic to.


wow, i really like the mushroom girl. i've never used inks too much, i find them somewhat intimidating. but stuff like that makes me want to try.
keep it up

have you got a gallery/site thingy?

Not really. just this page I made for an assignment. (http://www.ribaldyouth.com/whiteplains) Has some sketches and resized paintings all related to the project the girl on the mushroom will be in. This topic is the closest thing I have to a gallery, actually.

wow, the site is cool. i'm making one with a similar idea(sort of interactive gallery), your art reminds me of a childrens book, like Lemony Snicket () or something

again, WoW!
are these on going, or are you posting old stuff?

On going. I just finished this an hour ago, and I did the mushroom pic a few days ago. Occasionally old stuff is posted though.

really great works :) well done :)

you must work fast(and/or alot), it takes me at least like 5 hours for a painting that size with any detail. but i guess its pretty well established that you rock. keep up the good work.

P.S.-@Rezo-could you take a look at some of my art, maybe give me some advice(wow, i feel like such a fan-boy)

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/13947826/

these are probably the best i have online, i'd appreciate any comments(aswell as from anyone else). thanks

hey, the Audrey Hepburn painting: Soon as I glanced at it, I thought, "Looks like Audrey Hepburn."

So well done!

I like the new one it's very well drawn. (not sure if that sentence makes sense) Anyways keep it up man it's great stuff.

Shame on you when you step through to, the ol dirty bastard
BROOKLYN ZOO

Shame on you when you step through to, the ol dirty bastard
BROOKLYN ZOO


What.

Calmia: The drawings are simple(unfinished pic of girl, cat is a sketch with basic shading) so it's hard to tell what you're actually capable of. Is the angel sanctuary pic a reproduction of an already existing image? The most basic advice I have besides the basic stuff(anatomy, etc) is to spend more time on each drawing. No one can do detail quickly. No matter how good you are, it's still a fact that if you want to do a realistic building, you're going to have to draw the hundred windows, photos, curtains, etc that can be seen through the windows, the cracks in the walls between them, etc. It's just a matter of volume that makes those kinds of pictures take a decent amount of time no matter what. Better artists will be able to do them faster, of course but it still takes a while.

Taking the extra time to make a drawing perfect helps even the ground between you and the people better than you, and it also helps you improve quicker. Technique is related to this. Don't shade with a pencil in one pass. Start very lightly and slowly build the picture up. This especially goes for color pencils, because they won't blend if you don't color lightly, and it looks like you colored lazily with crayons. Also, don't smear the pencil for shading. Shade it in directly; If you don't have them, get a set of pencils of different values, and then you'll have an easier time getting the right value when you're shading. There are some times where smearing is ok, but it's best to avoid it until you're confident that you don't need to bother with it at all, and then find ways to integrate it back into your work. Some people don't paint with black paint at all, because it's harmful to colors when it mixes. So they avoid it, but when they get really good, they understand where and how it can be used, and it goes back into the palette.

Besides that stuff, seriously study anatomy/perspective/color theory etc. I never did when I was younger(except for perspective), and seriously suffered for it, especially with anatomy(perspective is mathematical so doing it right is mostly just a matter of being patient enough). is one of my better drawings from when I was around your age.I scanned them a long time ago and just the few scans I made are the only pics I have left from then. I used to always try and fill in the background with as much detail as possible, even if I didn't know exactly what I was doing. But I'd always draw the people from far away and without mouths and I seriously couldn't draw them at all. Even now I have a lot of trouble with faces and the like. That's really a problem, so it's important to clear up the basic technical skills before anything else so that your skills develop evenly and you don't get a "the coloring is good, but look at the crappy linework", "nice scenery, horrible characters" etc etc comments. Poor scenery and characters means you're a beginner. Skill in one and not another means you missed a step along the path of developing your abilities.

THAT'S ALL.

Is the angel sanctuary pic a reproduction of an already existing image?

yeah, i changed quite a few things but i was mostly just copying it since i love the original.

thanks alot for the comments. i realise that i need to spend way more time on my pics. the girl was done with watercolour pecils in around 40 minutes, and the cat was done with a photo reference in about 15 minutes with a regular HB. both were done for cards that i gave to friends(the girl was a character in a story) so i rushed to finish them, not that i'm excusing the fact that they suck alittle.
i really appreciate the advice. i'm gonna concentrate more on getting good line-art and then probably start getting used to using colour pencils properly. i get what you mean about it looking like crayon.
thanks again

Work in progress:

1. First, I do a very very detailed pencil drawing to color.

http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/run2.gif

2. Then I pick a color and render the entire pic in it. It's night, so I used blue. But I always mix grey and yellow into whichever color I choose, so it's somewhat greenish.



3. ? Who knows man... who knows...

this is only half of the drawing. scanner in room is tiny.

Time spent so far: hour ... hour and a half maybe.Not sure. Spent half of the time that I was painting watching "Mission: Impossible" which is... it's a movie that I shouldn't have bothered watching at all is what it is!

I like it so far.
Is there some kind of story behind this little girl?

That's cool. Very nice drawing.

really nice pic

i must say ..that is awesome dude!...i draw alot myself...guess im more of the commic type though. i did made a sequel after tekken 4...i took place 20 years after..lol the ppl were getting kinda old

i must say ..that is awesome dude!...i draw alot myself...guess im more of the commic type though.

haha, "commics" huh? Comics are for losers that have no artistic talent but insist on drawing anyways.


Is there some kind of story behind this little girl?

Yeah. Nothing I'll say beyond "she wanders around a lot." She's going to be a lead in a comic that I may make in the future.

Had to take some time off of the drawing to get some other projects done, but I had some time last night, so I started adding the other colors, fixed up the bg a bit, etc:



Time spent so far, total: 3 hours perhaps

its looking very nice so far, what are you using for the colour? it looks like watercolours.

uhh no...rezo. commics are for cool ppl....and shit like u draw is for nerds like u....dipshit. why do u have that additut problem anyway?????

its looking very nice so far, what are you using for the colour? it looks like watercolours.

It's colored ink. Has an effect similar to watercolor, but it isn't waterbased, so once you put colors down you can't pull them back up.



uhh no...rezo. commics are for cool ppl....and shit like u draw is for nerds like u....dipshit. why do u have that additut problem anyway?????



Did you read the part of my post where I said the little girl is a character design for a comic?

Now, you'll have to ask yourself... why would someone that has a comic online (http://www.ribaldyouth.com) and draws other pics as concept art for a comic in the future say that comics are for losers? And why would the fact that I work on comics myself be mentioned in that very same post slamming comics? Once you figure that out, you'll be able to figure out where my attitude comes from. If you can't figure it out, I'll be sad. =\

also:


i must say ..that is awesome dude!


uhh no...rezo. commics are for cool ppl....and shit like u draw is for nerds like u....dipshit.

Don't be so lazy about your insults. You don't say something is awesome one second and slam it the next second. Be a little creative or at least be honest, otherwise there's no point in saying anything =\


edit: pic is finished, more or less =|

character design:



+





had trouble getting the colors right after scanning with this pic. For the first two, I just scanned them and did almost no editing. Maybe it was different this time because the pic is darker. Anyways, the guy with the stick + the birds= all of the elements in the first story. I need to do more research on birds though =|

total time on bird pic... 4 hours or so.

love the finished girl+birds, i prefer it to the others of her

sorry for the last comment..didnt mean to offend any one, hope u know i didnt mean it. is it cool between us then rezo??

Sure. And remember, be creative when insulting people!


love the finished girl+birds, i prefer it to the others of her

Thanks. Unfortunately, the birds don't look very birdlike... but I can fix that in the future by having a few references handy

i kinda like the fact that they don't look too much like birds, keeps the dreamlike thing going.

I think you're either the best or one of the best artists on this site.


online (http://www.ribaldyouth.com)
I'm reading your comic and I have got to say that it's really really great. It's funny and some.

Dude, yeah, I love those birds! I also like the way the little girl looks like, well, real and unreal at the same time.

It's a tree:



I didn't adjust contrast and such after scanning, though I should have.

Great just like every other piece of your art.

probably one of the worst i've seen from you man, its still pretty good but it looks a bit flat and the roots(i'm asuming they are roots) in the foreground don't float my boat especially. still nice though

The colors are really muted in the scan(like I said, I didn't adjust it). But if you think this is one of the worst, be glad that you haven't seen what I don't put in this topic. I did this tree painting along with 3 others in a span of 3 days. It wasn't meant to be a well designed illustration(that's why the tree is just a stump with leaves stacked on top),but a technical study in working from dark to light. The entire canvas was painted dark blue, and then I started adding lighter spots on top to see how it worked.

rezo your sick.....all of your art is completely breath taking. you are god... =)

color pencil. Color is kind of off on second pic and in general the pics look rougher than they actually are because the scanner light isn't nice to pencils, I guess. I've developed the odd habit recently of writing "Kiwis By Beat" on almost anything I draw. =|

edit- also this:

i love the second pic, by which i mean the middle of the first one with "by" written on it.

rezo...ur a fucking genious!...i can draw....but that shit u are drawing is ART,just awesome,dude:)

What is Kiwis By Beat anyways? It was in your cartoon as well. But anyways I like the first and last ones very very nice.

What is Kiwis By Beat anyways?

A "Kat's Run" reference, and my favorite phrase.

Some quick goauche paintings I've done since... sunday.



edit- did these a few hours ago:




characters were about 20 min. on each. Look much better not on computers =\

All of these were done straight away in the paint, no pencils.

All of these were done straight away in the paint, no pencils.

wow, these are really impressive especially since you didn't sketch them out first. i love the fifth one down and all the characters. nice work.

Great artwork and I really like the first couple the best. I think these are my favortie pieces of work from you yet. And to think about the little of time you spent on these.


A "Kat's Run" reference, and my favorite phrase.
Oh ok.

Thanks. Some quick pen sketches. I took some of the characters above and turned them into... trees, kinda.

It was kinda fun, so I'm thinking of doing some paintings on the same concept.

very nice. i'm amazed at how much you've improved since the start of this thread.

sketches of a girl in cloche hat.

Kind of screwed up the second one, but if you ignore the screw ups then the drawing is pretty well done!

Wow! I really like all of these! I would like to buy some! You draw expressions pretty well, I think, and they're all so original. I think you're gonna be a true artist someday soon!! I see a lot of potential. I wonder if you have a website with your art on display?

Hell, rezo, still some of the best art I've ever seen online here. Great work, everything is just so unique.

Just the site for my comic(in my profile), but this topic is the closest thing I have to a gallery of the random stuff I've done over the past year and a half or so.


Also, I mentioned that I wanted to paint the girls turning into trees. I did the first one over the weekend:



same basic technique as all of the other gouache paintings. No pencils, etc.

Pretty weird, but still excellently done, practially flawless.

There are no other descriptions I can use.

it's super duper and a very original concept, and cool that you do it without pencil guidelines. most of the time i still use the 'think in basic shapes' technique or i get completely lost.

Jesus man. You're like the best artist ever. You should try selling your work on Amazon or eBay or something man. You could make this into a job.

Okay, so rezo is good, but no offense, he ain't the best, but he's extremely good at what he does.

three more. None as good as the first, unfortunately. =\ :








6 more to go! Hopefully they'll all be done by the end of next week.

the first one looks a bit odd, sorta as if the transformation was an after thought. the others are great though.

Yeah, I'm not too happy about that one either. I was close to throwing it away halfway through, but the paper is $2 for each sheet so I decided against it.

Here's a quick and tiny acrylic painting of a woman playing a shamisen:



One more girl into tree pic is halfway done.

When I scanned this pic in, my roommate needed to use the computer, so I just did auto colors/levels/ etc to hurry up and save and now it looks quite browner than it should

As usual great. My compliments are running out. But still fantastic work rezo. I really like the first drawing on this page. It's just so well done, like all of your work but this one just stands out more to me.

thanks. someone else told me they liked that one best yesterday, though I have problems with it.



I tried to use a more obviously modern setting for this one. It's much harder to draw the simple shapes in the diner setting than the floral stuff in the other pics since I'm not pencilling anything out and can't pull out a ruler for straight edges or measuring perspective and such =\

Looks great regardless, Rezo. Very innovative.

Yeah, that one is easily my favorite of the people turning into trees series.

Thanks! After doing that last one I suddenly lost interest in turning women into trees, so I guess that was the end of the series.

Not counting my recent chapter cover:




Also! The life and times of Pig-boy:

There's one more that I need to do to end the series, but I probably will never get around to it.

Hah. The pig boy ones are great. Also so is the new comic cover. Looking forward to reading it after I post this.

you really do have an interesting point of view on stuff, i really like it all and the whole girl turning into a tree is a really neat concept, i say sell them for money because i would be willing to put some money down for some of those arts.

Caricature of Mizuki Shigeru, my current favorite artist:

http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/shigeru_mizuki.JPG

He lost his arm in world war 2, I believe due to American bombings.

14x20. Reflecting light is throwing things off a little on the bottom right =\

Today was "moving out of dorms" day, and I threw out some paintings that I didn't like/didn't want to fix up. One of which was this:



Anyways, a few hours later, I went to get a sub, and when I came out with my sandwich, I saw the painting on someone's table. So I was all like "hey, where'd you get that?" And one of them laughed and said "we found it in the trash!" and I was all grinny.

Then I gave away the Mayo "Lucky Strike" painting to my friend that's helping me move/holding my stuff for the summer.

The caricature of Mizuki Shigeru looks great as well as the painting of the girl.

I like your work, it must of been a happy moment to find that one of your 'trashed' work was pick out of the garbage and kept. ^^ I would grinned all the way!

god youre good

Heh heh. Great job man, fantastic.

my sense of reality hurts. but its awesome

Haha. Wow.

oh my goodness!

I really love your stuff rezo. My respect for you will never die. The Pig Boy stuff was hilarious. I can't say I 'get' the people turning into trees but I like those a lot.

I shared your works with my friend, the one who painted the sky scene thingy. All he had to say was that "he really needs to work on people." :(

Bastids.

haha, it's true though. I really need to work on people. Though it depends a lot on what I'm working on. Like my recent thing is to not... pencil... images before I paint them or draw with ink just because it's more fun and quicker.

If something calls for it, I'll usually bump up the detail ()(from last year)

more than what's in the images I've posted in this thread. And most of the problems I had when I was drawing that short comic were sorted out since then.

And there's nothing to 'get' from the people turning into trees other than that it looks kinda neat, I think!

Also thanks to everyone for the comments.

Oh, don't be so modest, rezo. The people turning into trees pictures are clearly in-depth, symbolic critiques on society which would take years of analysis to fully understand.

Of course that is all true, and you know that and I know that. But I didn't want to hurt ktulu's feelings. He has it hard enough being of such little brain.

also:

http://www.ribaldyouth.com/pics/science.gif

I've been doing stuff like this instead of making comics about one-eyed girls =\

I don't have the ability to read words and tell if the comments have been made in jest, thus I will assume that I truly am "of little brain."

I have read this entire thread and I am just blown away by your talent! :D That is just plain amazing.

My opinion is the same

Thanks. A lot of the pictures in the beginning of the topic are pretty embarrassing now.

Also embarrassing: pictures from around the end of the topic. and the middle.

ANYWAYS NEW STUFF. I started working on the one eye girl comic, random page clippings(none of thedrawings are finished... but they're all almost finished):

pencils:

As usual I'm stunned as to why you're posting these on the internet and not being paid to have these sold or whatnot. Also is the comic really over? Cause people at your site are getting nervous about it ending or what...

While Ribald Youth's ending leaves me wanting more, I don't think it could appropriately end any other way.

I have read this entire thread and I am just blown away by your talent! :D That is just plain amazing.

ive read most of it and its really good

thats some stupid fine inking.
i'm guessing this comic takes a hell of a lot longer to draw than Ribald Youth to draw. The characters look cool though.

Not too much longer. I'm doing about 2-4 hours per page so far. RY was about 40 minutes to 1.5 hours. I save time on this one because the pencils are simpler and there are less panels per page(4 tiny panels take longer to fill up than 1 big one).

But yeah, before I started drawing it I thought it was going to take much longer than it actually is, like, 8 or 10 hours per page maybe, so I'm pretty happy that it isn't.

thats some stupid fine inking.


I'm going to assume you meant to say "super" where "stupid" is in this post..?

If you had ever watched The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, then you would know that "stupid" is the new "cool".


...or was... circa early 1990s.

I don't remember that stupid part in the fresh prince, anyway it was a heck of a show, Jazz was my favourite

Only people that experienced the Fresh Prince when it first came can truly appreciate it and remember all of its great moments. Unfortunately, at that time you were too busy not being alive to take notice =\

Yeah, i watched the re-runs, but you can still believe it's one of my favourite shows, i've seen it all more than two times

poor Will Smith
having done FROB-A so early in his career there is no way but down
it gave us perhaps the finest moment in televisions recent history.

Will had carved the word 'fresh' into a table at his private school duing an exam and is being stood trial by the faculty.

a preppy student defends him saying-"how can we judge what hes done as wrong? where he comes from 'bad' means good"

lol that was a good show

rezo, being will smith, should know all about being fresh.


great drawings, btw.

wow so awesome, I love your style, you've got talent

I think you are a great artist.

I hope so, even though the styles are very different...

If this is your site, I apologise, I havent been here in months...

haha, yeah, it's my site. I am stealing... from myself.

And I don't like using the same style all of the time, but if you check every single picture should be from the same site.

great job as usual. also is that comic with the dark nosed man in progress? oh, and that close up on the animal is pretty awesome.

Yeah, it's in progress. I'll put actual completed pages online in a few months probably.

awesome be sure to let us know when it's up.

That's kinda weird to end Violence Salaryman Teppei to end with a Flash Kick(cool though), but you really should have more in there. Please?

There will be more at some point. Just... you know, not for a few months. Or maybe a year.




Or two.

Uhhh, Ryan, I don't think we can wait that long... But if that's as long as it's gonna take then, be my guest.

Hey rezo. When I eventually settle down, with a nice wife and a fancy house, I want my house to be made more fancier with your artwork hanging upon the walls, kthx.
