The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I was a little thrown off at first. Looks like you're doing a bit of everything. Design, life study, anime, and (terrible) MS Paint art. Actually, it looks like you've grabbed a bunch of random artwork off google images, and posted it here.
But anyway...
Assuming its all your work, i think your most successful ones are your pencil sketches. they're quite clever and very creative. The anime ones, look cool, but are just re-creations of someone elses style. The MS Paint ones look like shit. Obviously they would be intentionally made to look bad, but stay away from them
I agree, those pencil sketches are really amazing. How do you work on horizontally-lined paper, though? It totally throws my groove off to work with all those lines there, personally, even if I'm just sketching.
I've never read the Manga, or watched the Anime, but i do love the artwork. If the OPS interested, i found a website with loads of scans from the comics...
I hate manga, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. At least Megan Fox is nice to look at, even though she's a useless bitch.
Somebody hasn't read One Piece it seems.

I don't deny that I haven't read this "One Piece" that you speak of.
Is it a swimwear catalouge that redeems manga as an artform through the medium of beach wear?

Oh man, you're missing out on so much if you think manga is all Dragon Ball Z and Naruto style shit. (granted, a lot is shit so its somehwat justified, but that goes with anything ever (hollywood movies, books, art, indi movies, music etc)
But that conversation is neither here nor there really (I can definately give you a list of manga that'll rock your world via pm if you like)
As for this thread- I'd really like to see that pencile work much larger. It's hard to tell how its done when its that small and the scans aren't really that good in the first place.
Also, your MS paint looks like "Ahhh real monsters!" if that should was drawn by toddlers subjected to LSD which is... kind of cool but awful at the same time.
Most everything else looks pretty top notch and I'm impressed by your transitions of style. I have to be a little skeptical though... it seems like the shifts are tooo big, if you know what i mean.
Don't get me wrong here, manga/anime on the whole is awful. Most of the stuff out there isn't worth wiping my own ass with.
But this one's different. It's the only comic both eastern and western I will actually bother with. It's the spiritual successor of Dragon Ball (not Z), and is the second most popular shonen series ever.
Plus Oda's style is downright silly:
This guy is my artistic hero man. Very Dr. Seuss-y
why the fuck do these threads always turn into "i hate anime durr hurr hurr"
no one cares if you hate anime.
seriously
either crit the work or shut up, it's that simple.

Not to defend what has been said in this thread about anime but it would be much easier to crit the work if it was larger. On my screen most of the pictures are about 2-3 inches across...

I like that little lighter dude, too. He's sweet.
cause the drawing's okay for what it is, but the colors are totally lacking.

It's a color job.

I hope you're using the word 'shit' as slang, and not actually saying Dragonballs art style is shit. 8-)
Well, I'm kind of calling out the story more than the art. It's so repetitious.
"I'm strong!"
"Me Stronger!"
*fight*
"You are stronger!"
"I'm over 9000!!!!!!!"
"I must train for days and days while all my friends die!"
*Days and friends pass*
"Hey guys, I'm back to save you-... oh."
*Fight*
"Haha, suck it over 9000! guy!"
"I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that bloody American"
"Please mister dragon, bring my friends back to life!"
"I'm strong!"
"Me Stronger!"
set to repeat.
