nel2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Hi guys... hope I am doing ok in posting this thread. I introduced myself a couple of days ago, and now I´ll post some of my drawings . Hope you like them. I have a gallery at DeviantArt with all the works together, here are a few of them. Some of them are quite "famous" around the net ^^` Quote
TheElf Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Hi Neldorwen! Your work is great! Welcome to the forum. Glad to see a fellow Deviant over here. Quote
Mr March Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Incredible work. It's great to see Macross fan art in such sharp colors and perfect contrast. Your DYRL picture and the Alto Earring are may favorites. I'm going to have to take some pointers from you about coloring and shading Quote
Zinjo Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Wow quite cool to actually meet the person who did some of that art. I've seen several pieces before and you are right they are rather famous... Quote
nel2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 thanks a lot for your messages and the welcome @Mr March, I would love to be helpful concerning drawing and coloring techniques ^^ Here is my Macross gallery at my DA page: http://neldorwen.deviantart.com/gallery/32121180 Will post an update when I do new fanart ...

Mr March Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Hey nel2012, I'd definitely be curious how you made the metallic shading on the Ex-Gear portion of the bust of Alto from your deviantart profile. It's something I'd like to see if I can attempt. Quote
nel2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Posted May 3, 2012 Hey nel2012, I'd definitely be curious how you made the metallic shading on the Ex-Gear portion of the bust of Alto from your deviantart profile. It's something I'd like to see if I can attempt. You mean this one uh? I use pencil and ink first, for everyone of my drawings. Then I scan and color them in PS (or handpaint with markers). In this case, I selected the area of the chest, and chose four different greys. I first filled the entire selected area with the lighter one, then I used a big soft brush to create the first shadow ,then the third and fourth greys to create the "deepness" . Last, one "lens flare" effect with another soft brush , to create that round light , using white color, and the same with a smaller brush to do the bright in the borders of the armour. I have no tricks basically as you can see and I use official pics from the series and movies to pick and select the colors, that´s important.Hope I was helpful ^^ Quote
frothymug Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 Hi, Neldorwen! I actually have a few of your pictures saved on my computer, so it's great to be able to interact with you now. Keep up the awesome work! Quote

nel2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 Here I post three more sketches.. only four to finish left this is my way to celebrate the anniversary Quote
PetarB Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Very nice work - I'm a big fan of Copic markers too, but I get to use them less and less... Quote
nel2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Very nice work - I'm a big fan of Copic markers too, but I get to use them less and less... thanks!! I use two brands of markers (Copic and Kurecolor) I can buy only the latter here where I live, but they are great. Of couse I must keep practising, and I am sure I´ll never reach Mikimoto´s style ^^´ I am currently painting the big drawing ,with all the characters together, and will add some valks to make it look more "epic" Quote
TehPW Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 *Jaw drops* you might be humble but im angry (its a pain in the &^% when my jaw unhinges from awestonishment of good work, good sir) Quote
Zinjo Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 thanks!! I use two brands of markers (Copic and Kurecolor) I can buy only the latter here where I live, but they are great.

Makes me think of a "Generations" picture where there would be characters from each era progressing across the picture. Quote
