Makoe's Art - Updated

Since everyone else seems to be showing off their art, I thought I'd start showing some of what I do in my sparse spare time.
I use CE4 and a bamboo tablet. Both of which I am only learning how to use (tips/pointers appreciated). So, pleace dont mind the poor line-work. I draw much better on paper (which I'll probably post some of that to)

I've been a chronic drawer since I was first able to hold a crayon, and all my school work from K-University have little doodles popping up in random places. I fell out of practice shortly after failing my last semester (~6yrs ago) and joining the grueling real world of work and bills. Then I met my first (and still current) love, and we had our daughter (now 2yrs old) So now that I have a bit more time (at least while Treehouse is on or when she's asleep) I've been able to pick up my pencil and start drawing again.

Here is a quick (30min) random doodle I just did tonight:

Dog sketch:

Here is a pokesona of Kolink's (of pokefarm)

*Edit:

Did another quick sketch, this time a banner for my own farm page on pokefarm:

EDIT (02/25/13): Newest art (incase you don't want to scroll down) Slight improvement with my tablet XD (of course my DA link is in my sig, which has more art there XD )

Those are really good. Way better than I could ever do lol. I really like the dog.

Thank you

The more I look at that random puppy, the more I want to make him into a character for something...Not sure what, but he needs a name!

Very nice. And I love the dog too. His tapering, curly tail reminds me of a wolfhound or something

All the bright colors in the puppy picture makes me happy whenever I see it.

In contrast to happy puppy, I drew this the other night while watching "The secret world of Arrietty."
I've plans of inking/coloring it when I get a bit better at using the tablet.

Was cleaning behind the couch and found a large black travel bag, something of a cross between a suitcase and a laptop bag...its full of old art stuff!!

Some sort of demon/dragon forest creature:

Some very cute seals:

A quick Unicorn sketch I did, I was just playing around with pens.

Makoes · **Posted:** Mon Dec 24, 2012 3:58 pm

hmmm, I think I need to do more art...lol. Well, here's my newest one:
I am actually really happy with this character, His name is Drihtan. He is a Luxray that is championing for Darkrai in the "Fall of the god's" RP. atm he has yet to make his appearance, but he's just about ready to make himself known!

hmmm, I think I need to do more art...lol. We;;, here's my newest one:

Rhyela · **Posted:** Fri Dec 28, 2012 10:15 pm

Wow, that's awesome! I love its face.

Makoes · **Posted:** Fri Dec 28, 2012 10:30 pm

thanks

the face is by far my favorite part. hmmm trying to figure out why I double posted the picture with different comments...hmmmm...
Anyhow here is my other character for the same RP:
Taabuna, the Eelektross who's patron is Groudon. This one I just scanned and colored testing out my new scanner, so I didn't actually ink it yet...once I do an inked one and proper coloring then I'll post that as well.

A birthday gift for my Friend or her Druid and feral forms, the background in Rajh from Hall of Origination in Uldum. It was fun getting to Rajh on my hunter to nab the screen shots...He takes awhile to do his idle animation

LupisDarkmoon · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2013 3:53 am

Ooo, pretty! Love that bird form especially.

Makoes · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2013 3:56 am

Thank you very much :3

Hey, that's neat!!!

Won some Marandian breed horses on a DA valentine's raffle. Two i have already received their designs, the 3rd I am still waiting on. More info can be found on my DeviantArt

This lovely lady still needs a name though:

And This interesting boy I dubbed "King of Hearts" (seeing his parents, I have NO idea where his design came from...)

I find it kinda funny that both of these designs I got done in one night, but I still have 3 other horse designs (that have been waiting months) still awaiting their creation XD

Makoes · **Posted:** Sat Feb 23, 2013 3:54 am

Meet Blakkabar! He's a wip that's currently waiting for the raffle to end. If I win him then he will become a Cerva (kinda like a jackelope but with a feathered tail and magic) if I don't win him, then I'll give him a normal tail. I am really happy with this boy :3

And my 3rd horse I won in all her prettiness :3 "Ujanu" the Tobiano Splash Filly

Rhyela · **Posted:** Sat Feb 23, 2013 3:28 pm

I suppose I don't understand what this raffle is that you speak of. What do you mean, you win those? Are they your illustrations or someone else's? I mean, they look awesome, I'm just totally confused on whose style I should be complimenting. :lol:

Makoes · **Posted:** Sat Feb 23, 2013 4:50 pm

Haha, well I entered a raffle for some foals and won 3 of the them. The creator linked me a picture of the foals I'd won and I had to redraw them and register them within 1-2 months, so these pictures here are my drawings based on their designs. But the pictures Drew above are completely my own work, the only thing that isn't mine is the actual design concept.

These are the Foals I won and had to redraw:
Marula Cream (the brown one)
King of Hearts
Ujanu

The Cerva/Rabbit is based off of #6 on this Raffle. But I took more liberty with the design and made him look more jackrabbit then fluffy bunny.

I also don't generally use anything for references when doing my line-art. I usually just sit on the couch watching TV and doodling, and if I sketch something I like, I clean it up a bit, scan it into my computer then redo the lines using my art tablet, then color it in as needed. I'd probably be able to do better work if I actually used references, lol.

Rhyela · **Posted:** Sun Feb 24, 2013 5:00 am

Ahh, okay. That's pretty cool, I had never heard of such a thing.

I really like your Cerva! It almost looks like it has the beginnings of wings on its forelegs.
