[Metal Slug 3 First Aid kit PS1 thing]

This seems more like a PS2 model with PS1 textures (you have to remember that the PS1 was VERY limited, to the point where the bouncy animation alone would probably make the ancient console explode). Still, fantastic stuff! Maybe we could compromise and say this is something we would see on the SEGA Dreamcast or PC ports of PlayStation and N64 games at the time.

I'm overthinking this cute little animation, aren't I?

CenterSargE responds:

I was having something like Crash Bandicoot in mind, where the boxes would have a small bounce animation, but I guess they had only 1 cut in the middle for that effect

[Girl with Bowl]

Absolutely adorable! Also, you clearly didn't focus even .01% of your energy on that other thing you were doing, were you? That sketch is top-notch, too, not just the final piece!

Nabella responds:

Well, thank you.

And ye, I just straight up forfeited my attention on the thing I was supposed to be doing to doodle on notebook paper. Definitely not good practice for doing assignments.

[Digital on Phone Practice- Punk Girl]

Out of curiosity, did at least use one of this disposable stylus pens? Or did you draw this with your finger? If you drew this with your finger, then I’ve got some work to do…

Flikki responds:

There are disposable stylus pens? I need to get me one of those.

Thanks as always j!

[Fantasy Gameboy Advance]

Sonic Advance, my beloved!

colorsCrimsonTears responds:

I just wish advance 1 didn't have that

[sexy sonic!]

Getting excellent with anatomy (and leather). And ooh, is that a background?

gothicseawitch responds:

yes indeed! i wanted to go the extra mile!

[sexy rouge sonic]

I've seen a lot of "sexy" Sonic art since the first day I dared to even look at Deviantart. Thankfully, this particular one is truly sexy!

There are actually "Transgender Sonic" mods for the PC ports of games like Sonic Generations, Forces and Frontiers, though the way modding works, they have to stay within the proportions of the official Sonic model (usually resulting in simply Sonic's head on Rouge's body). I'd love to see this version of Sonic in the PC port of Bayonetta, though!

gothicseawitch responds:

oh wow! thanks! that's actaully the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my art!

[sexy rouge sonic 2!]

Edit: What? No, the artwork is good, though for the sake of artistic growth, the anatomy and posing of the first "Sexy Rouge Sonic" picture is stronger and you should keep doing what you've been doing in that first one. I ironically may have been offensive in going off on a tale of how I was raised to be overly-sensitive about this stuff. I should have just said what I said in this "Edit" section, that would have been more useful and helpful for you.

This reminds me of when I was in art college and had to redesign the cast of Mega Man for a character design assignment. A lot of the guys were very careful about designing Roll and Splash Woman, making sure they didn't reinforce any dated stereotypes of female character design. Meanwhile, some of the women in the class just straight-up re-interpreted every single character as absolute babes with impossible hourglass figures like how you drew "Sexy Rouge Sonic" here.

There's a lesson here somewhere, but I'm not sure I've still figured it out or if I'm even allowed to figure it out, considering what U.S. State I reside in.

gothicseawitch responds:

You don't like the artwork I made?
edit: oh ok. well iv'e never done back drawings so i just decided to just go for it! even though it isn't perfect i still very much love the artwork i did!

[DRILLBIT thumbnail]

Any relation to Mr. Driller?

[DAE PREPRO1 End Assignment]

Looks pretty good to me! The concept is usually done by someone else and it’s just the 3D modeler’s job to convert it to 3D, but good on the school for teaching you several other steps in the pipeline in the likely event one would work in a small indie project and have to wear many hats, so to speak!

EinMeister responds:

I am probably never going to do concept art, but this course helped me improve my creativity by cramming ideas into paper. This is the second time I do such thing.
I am trying to specialize so I only do guns or at least only hard surface 3D in the future.

[Mushroom man]

I really want to see a smoothly-animated version of this beautiful image at some point.
