Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I've been busy during the last few days of my summer holiday... and have three pretty things to show you all!

First off.... a picture of my Silver Eyrie, Tuenn, which I wanted to make for his description.



He was originally facing the opposite direction, then I realised that his earring and star were supposed to be on the other side!

Next up.... two dolls of Rikku from FFX-2 in my custom dressphere, Dragoon.



I created this one first, I was just messing around, trying to come up with a snazzy outfit. I started with the top and shorts, then went on with the scarf and bright green socks. I originally intended to make it some sort of Ninja Rikku, but then I made the shoulder armour and boots and realised it suited a Dragoon more...

Afterwards I started on a different base and pondered who to draw, then decided that (since I liked Dragoon Rikku's outfit so much) I'd create another one of her....



I'm really, really happy with the way that one turned out (except for the glove-blade things, they're horrid), the funny this is that I like different parts of the outfit in either picture.

In the first one I loved the boots, the armour and the gloves. But I didn't like any of those in the second picture, I prefered the top, shorts and scarf.

So... I want to hear opinions, or advice, or criticism (I'm still not very good with using Photoshop, especially without a tablet), or... anything really!



EDIT: See the updates in my post way down below.....

coolness . i like the second picture of Rikku more, i think the stance is just, for lack of a better word, better. And i love the Eyrie! Good job.

That's a special coloring technique. I like how you did it. The wings of the eyrie look a little of, but I like the rest of it. I indeed like the second Rikku pose better. Her breasts seem a little large, though.

Yes, the wings were really annoying and hard. And I know that her breasts look big in that pose, but its based on a base, so I just stuck to the original design.

And this is the only way I seem to be able to colour things, it mainly involves use of shading an area with a 1-pixel soft brush (in Photoshop), I draw my main shape then fill with a middle base colour, then look at the shading on the body of the base to get an idea of the areas which need to be shaded, I then use my brush and gradualy shade darker or lighter. My shading's usually diagonal or cross hatched, and I vary opacity too, then I use the blur tool to make it look smooth.

I'm currently working on a picture of Yuna in her Gunner outfit from FFX-2 (just gotta finish her hair and hair tail), so expect to see that soon too.

Yeah art!

Tuenn looks awesome. I love the shaggyness of the fur. He looks like a rough and tumble pirate for sure!

The design of the girl is really cool. The colours are nice too. I agree, I like the second drawing better. I'd like to see a bigger version of the first one though.

Good proportion and a active pose. I really like how you drew her hands. Hands are always really hard for me.

More please!

Wow, those look pretty good ^^; Actually, they're amazing considering that you didn't use a tablet xP Both pics of the girl are great, I love the outfit =) One thing about the Eyrie, though- the position is kinda awkward ... ^^;

Awesome drawings! I have no idea how you could do the fab coloring you did without a tablet. I'm sooo outta control with my mouse.

Oh, and Rikku is my fav FF character cuz she's always happy and bubbly so naturally I love your drawings even more!

Er.... some of you seem to misunderstand... I use a base (a plain unclothed body) which I then create an outfit for.... I don't draw the body myself (not yet anyway)...

I absolutely love the picture of Tuenn! My favourite bits are the shaggy paws and tail. I think your shaded the feathers on his wings well too!

I'm going to be different and say I like the first picture of the Rikku doll better. The clothes are very cool - and I adore the scarf you've given her! I could never do hair like that either - the only thing I think it wrong is that her feet look a bit awkward.

Finally Yuna is done.... and I really got fed up with it by the end.



The top worked so well and I was so happy with it, then the half-skirt was sooooo hard (the shading on that thing's like impossible) then the hair was too boofy and the hair-tail thing didn't want to work either.... *sigh*

I hope you guys like it anyway....

I'm working on a doll of Baalinda now... she's kinda... my muse... I guess...

EDIT:

My Baalinda doll is done! Originally she was gonna be wearing a kinda black outfit... but it turned more random...



So... what do you all think?

2nd EDIT:

Spent like.... 2-3 hours this afternoon working on a second Baalinda doll. Done with the same style of base as my other one (and the 2nd Dragoon Rikku doll too) but in a slightly different outfit (still including her favourite pink and purple knee-high striped socks and silky blue ribbon though)....



3rd EDIT:

ANOTHER Baalinda doll (eesh... she still isn't completely out of my system yet....)



I don't really like the hair.... it didn't want to work today... and the socks look a bit odd.... oh well!


Oh!

And... well I'm not sure if this is the right place to put it... but I'm willing to do requests....

For dolls mainly... just give me a written description (or existing pic) of your character and you can tell me if you want me to use a certain base (that I've used in one of my other dolls)

... and I'll try to have it done within a week at the most!

Your women have, um, very advanced, erm, body parts.

Oh my goodness me! I'm definatley requesting.

I was wondering if you can do me as a fairy? I'll give you a photo of me and a description of the costume and so on. I just wanted to know if you could do it before requesting.

Hi ria!

Oh wow. your stuffs is excellent! Yuna looks goddessy

Thanks for all your lovely comments guys!

And I'd be happy to attempt making a doll for you Twinkle!

(no guarantees....)

Just PM me and I'll get started straight away!

Another small update... I made this picture of Behlenu (my purdy Xweetok) last week and forgot to upload it until now!

I know know... the anatomy sucks... but oh well!



Hopefully have some more stuff up soon (another Baalida doll is being made as we speak and I have plans for a Zelda doll.. and at some stage a Rikku doll too.... rather busy designing a picture book at the moment though (VD is so fun) )

EDIT:

My other Baalinda doll (my friend asked me to make this to add to a pic of her muse)....
