one of floors, you are only allowed to use Dragon Couture pins, and this was my setup. :p

WEWY <3

INDEED!!!!

Thats purdy bad ass dude. Nomura (and Odendo, and Kuma) would be proud.

BLANK COMMENT!

nice work Zero...looks great

Hip Snake for the win, though x3 Still, I like the Dragon Couture pins' cryptic names.

that's a whole lot of pins to wear!

6 1" pins arent that much



304 1" pins are a lot

It's a lot mre than I wear, that's for sure!
Just be careful they don't poke you!

just get a really big cape, then you can be dramatic as well as pin master 8D

*Wuffles and switchs your deck of pins for all restoring food items* how many courses can you guzzle and chomp down in an hour, mark set, gorge!

Badass...that sums this one up. Looks like there's about to be some chakra power flyin! >:D

more like Psyche power.

Whoaaa, that's just awesome stuff! The finished product is indeed, great. ^.=.^

Saw this at TV4 before I had to leave. I really like this pic =D Great job on it! I really like the character shadowing you used =3

the giant drop shadow?
took me awhile to get it :D

Yup! It looks really good and adds a really nice flavor to the pic =3

Wow, this came out very nice.

isnt the pavo real level of pork city such a pain in the ass? >.<

ya,

theres like 4 pins im missing from the packet i ahve of the pins.
the 4 american only pins D:

but ya, pavo real was a bitch, i was using all the rock pins and wind one.

all the rock pins and wind one? what pins are you using . . . and . . . how do you get the american only pins? o.o

whent he game was being made for america, they took out 4 pins and added 4 new ones that appear in the american versions only.
sushi, shinobi, fuji yama and daruma.

those 4 are the only ones where i havnt found a high res jpeg of like the 6 i used in this picture.

and pavo real has 2 stone pins, a bomb pin and one wind pin, as far as i can recall right now.

so what pins were removed and what do they do?

i dont know their names or what they do, they were removed because they were part of japanese culture, so they thought we wouldnt get it or something and added 4 pins just for england and america

FAWK

I want to play this game so bad. ;_;

D:!!! Random zipper for the win!!! And /awesome/ job on the coloring, Zero. And the background is kickass as well. Nice design on the shirt as well.

Pixelized pins are pixelized! Common, you have a tablet and a pen tool, get those fuckers into illustrator!

i DID!

heres how big the pins started out

"i wish i had more zippers so i could zip your mouth shut" >.>

whos post did you mean to reply to?

Kaji_Ryuujin's =p remember day um 3 week to when they talk about the trends =p

oh, ya i recall the quote X3

er sorry replied to wrong post >.>

Yeah I agree, those pins are throwing off the entire PIC. Like, lets not take into account all the other really good digital stuff he did, like the coloring, shading, and background.

But, you're clearly the master of digital art, as is evident from your gallery. Oh wait. <3

I knew someone would yell at me without knowing that Zero and I are IRL friends, and that my comment was in jest. I just never would have expected it to be someone who KNOWS me, has interacted with me at meets and has always been a nice guy when I met him, Wolfgang.

I'm not some random internet bitch. And I'm sure if you asked Zero, he would have told you he probably didn't care about my comment. If I indeed offended or upset him, my apologies. I owe him extra cute next time I see him. If Zero wants to me seriously critique his work, he knows I am more than capable of doing so, pointing out the good and bad and how he can fix the bad, digital or not. This comment was obviously not a serious critique. If it'll make you and everyone else feel better, ignore my previous comment and here is a full critique of the piece.

If you do look, the pins are indeed still pixelized, but I'm not going to say it destroys the entire picture, and they aren't even the focus of the piece. If anything, regardless of how they look, the variation in size of the pins give it great depth. Zero's placement of the character is really nice, and the tail being cut off, even the very tip shows maturity of an artist. Rather than squish the whole character in there, he can accept that. The attempts at showing light and dark are really nice, and they follow each other, instead of being random with no definite light source. I admire the action in this piece, because that's often something that's hard to capture. The pins also help the movement of the piece. Trying to keep the eye moving though-out a picture is something not always so easy to do, but Zero's got it going for him in this picture. Another thing I truly admire is the foreshortening of the hand. It's pretty damn accurate, and we all know foreshortening is a bitch. The simple background is great for such an action packed foreground. One of the complaints that's gotten me in trouble is the pins. To me, they still are pixelized, and though you say you took them into illustrator, I can't exactly tell you what went wrong. I'm not a digital artist by trade, but to me they still look off. I could be wrong. My next and final complaint is how your outlines on the character are so sketchy. That could have been something you wanted, but it bothers me a bit. Mainly because you then have bold colors laid down, and though the shading and highlighting is soft, it still has the cartoon look to it. I don't know if the sketchy lines were something you wanted to do, but again, it's minor. Again, I'm not a digital artist and critiquing digital art is a bit harder to me and can often seem vague. I've been trained for 6 years on traditional artwork, nothing illustrative and certainly not in the digital realms.

Again, my apologies to anyone who was offended by my comment. As far as I know, the comment was in fun to my dear friend, who I hope took it in jest. I wouldn't want him or anyone to take 2 sentences littered with colorful language and an internet meme seriously.

eep D:

I'm sorry for the drama. i think your comment, though indeed a joke now that i look at it after having some sleep, took me off guad at one in the morning when i was waiting for positive feedback and stuff.

indeed the pins are pixelated, prolly because enlarging them from their original size did that since the pins were premade and not my design. i did give credit to square enix for those.

again, I'm sorry :(

Don't apologize, hon. It's all good in the hood.

*hugs the black leopard*

thanks for the observation comment ^^

dude I love it

It looks awesome Zero! I need to mooch off my friend to play that game >.>

Whoa totally badass you did there Zero bro but what kind of DS game is this?

square enix, action adventure, i dont think you'd like it.

REALLY complicated

*breaks out my pins* Lets go big fella >:)

tin pin style?

*stocks his jewel deck*

Just got the game, went to...*counts* 5 stores to find it. :P <3ing it. Did you skinnyize yourself for this pic, tho? D:

kinda had to for my idea to work, but at least its fatter than my RL self ;)

Might do a ref sheet on myself soon, or get one commissioned. >.>
I still suck at keeping my head the same style XD

lol You should take up Strype on one of his $250 commishes. xD

But, yeah, just an observation. I think it came out good. Only problem is the sketchiness of the lineart and the arm(they don't bend that way! D:) </unsolicitedcriticism> :P

Also, 4 days into the game: I just got to the pudding line. I wish I hadn't been on the bus so I could've laughed a lot louder. x3

TWEWY ARTWORK! =3
This is really cool, i must say ^^ It's a very well done peice, and it's always cool to see new TWEWY stuff around here =3

Awesome picture. Gotta love the game, too ^^ Excellent pin designs

nice twewy spoof

Those are some pins you got there. ^^
