Are you having trouble with thinking of a pose, or getting a pose to look right?

Part of what makes video game music different is the fact that we more frequently associate specific memories with them.
A vast chunk of the video game music I listen to is from games I have never heard of nor played.
Maybe I'm just really really weird and most people like music for nostalgia so I guess take that as you will.
All that said, if I could afford it I would probably have way more non-video game music. But I think that's more attributed to the fact that I have been listening to the same bunch of music for a few years now and just need something fresh.

So, how's everyone doing at their pictures?
-
Yeah there aren't specific art styles in anime or manga that I'm aware of.
Although there is certain tendencies depending on what the target audience is and what era the art was done in even for the same artist.

It's been posted in the SSBB thread as above mentioned and in it's own thread too somewhere around here...

Woah, I became mega man at some point too, last I looked I was whatever the +900 posts thing is...
-
We need to know who is still on, who hasn't had one done and stuff, and we don't know what people want.
-
There's an unrefined cuteness to the things you draw. :3

People pirate software because people like free stuff, and the creators are so far out of someones monkey sphere that they really just don't care.
I haven't pirated anything that I'm aware of, but I do use open source free programs like the GIMP.

I tried something new for this competition, I've been really unsure of how I color stuff lately, can't really settle on a way I like. :S
I probably won't get many votes either way, I never do XD
-
Whichever you think you want to practice with more.
Although if you want to make the cleanup easier I'd suggest photoshop.
Or both, you can do both.

I never really understood why people make such a big deal out of nudity in the first place.
Meh...

What happened to just picking a game?. Like MGS. . .
Not that I care too much, just wondering
It's more fun and get's more participation to pick a broader concept.
-
I am in.
I decided to forgo my original Pokemon themed pic in favor for an intoxicating Catgirl-in-a-jungle scene.
Note: This does NOT make me a furry by any stretch.
Why so defensive?
I mean, lots of people draw anthros, that doesn't mean they're into some weird fetish or something.

hahaha don't go to a movie with me then
Though I do that kinda stuff mostly when it's just me and a few others that I know in the theatre.
I could deal with a lack of peace if I was with other people, but to be a lone female in a crowd full of adolescent fan boys...no thanks I'll pass on that horror, or else smuggle a very large stick in with which to abuse anyone that comes remotely near me.

Went with a group of friends and all they talked about at the end was how rorschach was awesome in the jail scene and that is it. Completely missed a lot of the philisophical and psychological parts of the movie.
Most people completely miss the parts of movies that require deep thought, it's really more important to be all like OH MAN THAT WAS SO BADASS AND AWESOME AND THINGS!
I haven't seen it yet, but that's because I want to avoid the crowds, it will be the first time I've gone to a theater by myself, and I'd rather not be surrounded by a bunch of crazy males with too much fan boy and "BADASS" flowing through their brains. It's nice to watch a movie in peace.

That's pretty awesome, I like the fireman calender XD
You should totally borrow his crayons and see what you can do with them, experimenting with new mediums is fun.
-
Quite ironically, I just noticed that many of the most-viewed SFIIT HDRemix stage-music vids on YouTube don't mention a thing about where the music came from!
......
That's not really different than any other game...not very many people list more than the stage and game of origin.

Well if you have a DS I heard that the rpg for it was good, if on the simple side.
-
... and Sonic Team's eating his innards.
So that's where the best part went!
-
The kirby in There Will be Brawl is pretty freaking creepy if you ask me, although he was just kind of spoofing Hannibal Lector...
-
Sonic is dead, they need to just take him out back and put him out of his misery.
Or sell him to a game house that knows what the heck they're doing.

Ok, somebody brainstorm some good ideas plz
All I can currently think of:
Necromorphs (dead space)
Pretty much any non-human RPG/JRPG boss
Dragon (almost every game ever)
Ghosts/Wraiths (game reference please?)
Most of the colossi from Shadow of the Colossus
Resident Evil stuff
Metroid stuff
Castlevania stuff
um, Amaterasu?
Pokemon, Monster Rancher, Digimon/Tamogachi
Most of the badguys in Mario and Donkey Kong games are also "creatures".
Ecco the Dolphin, various baddies in the Spryo games.
There's lots of "creatures" out there, right under everyone's noses.
FAC - RESULTS ARE IN!!! Fan Art Competition 22: Creatures

I normally scribble a lot to get what few good poses I have managed to draw.
The one you did last contest had a lot of movement though!
Try playing the game your creature is in might help you think of poses, or read an action filled comic (or watch an action filled animation?) If you do this make sure you watch or read something new, because it'll probably help get your brain thinking better than something you're familiar with.
I dunno how other people do it but I rely a lot on retracing/refining what I've drawn for real media, or heavy layer use in digital. (sometimes I do both).
For digital art I'll draw whatever pose idea I have first without a ton of regard for how right it looks, just to get it down somewhere. Then isolate whatever bits look right, and make a new layer to do some redlining and draw the basic skeleton out. Then I clean it up and see if it looks better (repeat till you're satisfied).
Sometimes I end up having to redraw whole areas over and over again, but normally bit by bit it comes together. It's also really good drawing practice.
Maybe this won't work for you, but I know that it makes a pretty big difference in the quality of art when I do this and when I don't. So you could try it I guess, it's not as time intensive as it sounds either (knowing most of us are pretty strapped for time).
