Hi.

Drawing gyarados on blue paper. It's not lazy.

Also, while I'm at it, here is a WIP of my MAC entry:

...

New Girl is on so bye.

**RitterCat** · Nov 9th, 2011, 2:52:33 PM

That gyara is incredible, you have improved so much since you left!
Hope you stay for a long time with this great new work Tsukasa, and can't wait to see your finished MAC

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 15th, 2011, 5:29:04 PM

I saw the original picture and then the comment and I couldn't resist:

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 23rd, 2011, 9:27:46 PM

I have no choice but to double post.
The image is large so:

...

EDIT: What a nice way to spend my 300th post.
Shoutout to Zach Condon because he inspires me every day.

EDIT 2: Layout for color:

Hey TsukasaSIGN! Quick question about Gyara there. What tools did you use to colour it? It looks sorta like pencil crayon, but.....Something seems off about it.....What is it that you used for colouring?

Aeromence · Nov 24th, 2011, 12:32:00 AM

this is really cool stuff. you proved that you dont need to be great at photoshop to be a great artist. cool stuff bro

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 24th, 2011, 8:57:32 AM

@ZcX: Haha, no my friend posted the picture and when I saw that other person's comment, that face instantly popped in my mind.

@Master Win: It's just good ol' colored pencil (Prismacolor)

maybe a thanksgiving picture later, but that feels cliche
anyways, hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. GET FAT

Furosuto · Nov 24th, 2011, 9:45:44 AM

I see. So just good ol' colored pencil.

Is there a certain way you are able to give it that certain shaded look? I've never been good at colouring, lol.

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 24th, 2011, 10:29:11 AM

It just depends on how hard you press down. The only time I ever press hard is when I know for sure I want that solid, bold color, otherwise I just pass over areas lightly many many times, gradually building up the gradient. This also makes it easier to apply other colors over the same spots if needed (Look at my submissions for the Limited Color Pallet thread).

EDIT: Once I have access to my scanner later on today...

EDIT 2: Happy Thanksgiving! I present to you, one delicious, un-plucked ho-oh

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 24th, 2011, 7:59:14 PM

I give you another thanksgiving picture:

I wanted the pokemon in the last picture to be pilgrims but forgot while coloring. So here is a real thanksgiving pilgrim.

EDIT: His name is Scott.

Sæglópur · Nov 24th, 2011, 9:35:00 PM

YAY Swalot! :333

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 25th, 2011, 4:15:44 PM

Finally worked on my MAC entry again.

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 28th, 2011, 5:49:47 PM

Doodled these in math today because who cares about the law of cosines?

I like cats.

**RitterCat** · Nov 28th, 2011, 8:14:47 PM

Maths doodling. The best. Especially of cats
Tsukasa, I love you even more

TsukasaSIGN · Nov 28th, 2011, 9:16:21 PM

It was actually your doodles that inspired these cats. Just sayin

TsukasaSIGN · Dec 2nd, 2011, 7:53:03 PM

It's December now. Facebook in December means that everybody changes their profile picture to a pokemon. Last year I started drawing some of my friends as pokemon using a pun with their name and a pokemon's name. They were all made in mspaint so the quality won't be the same as my traditional art. Sadly, I think it would be a violation of some sort of unwritten trust, so I can't post pictures of the real people for comparison.
2010:

Magnolia + Magnemite = Magz-nemite

Dillon + Bellsprout = Dillz-sprout

Sam + Alakazam = Alaka-sam

Jordan + Charmeleon = Jor-meleon

Nicolaus + Onix = O-nicz

Rikki + Lickitung = Riki-tung

And of course with everything that I do where I draw for humor, I always start drawing the pictures bad on purpose, to add to the humor element a bit, but then I inadvertently start trying to make the pictures look good (see my nuzlocke pictures; perfect example)

2011

Isabella + Tangrowth = Tang-abella

TsukasaSIGN · Dec 13th, 2011, 9:36:16 PM

Decided to evolve past MSpaint because it seriously sucks so much why did I eve use it. Sumopaint is the next best thing until I get a tablet + photoshop. Just trying it out, here is a boring painting of two fruits

Arrogance · Dec 13th, 2011, 9:40:08 PM

Me likes this thread. I like the fact that you use pencils, not photoshop (although photoshop pictures looks awesome as well). I like the Gyarados, would you do a request for me?

TsukasaSIGN · Dec 13th, 2011, 9:55:17 PM

What did you have in mind? Finals are next week so I probably won't get to start working on your request until next weekend at least.

**RitterCat** · Dec 13th, 2011, 9:56:27 PM

haha your friends as Pokemon are great
Also, MS paint it the worst drawing program by so much it's not funny. Hope sumo paint goes well!

That's okay. I was thinking of something along the lines of a Swampert with Rey Mysterio's mask. :)

~~samdungo~~ · Dec 16th, 2011, 10:01:37 AM

I feel you have a bright future in the graphics artist world. Good luck!

dragonboy52 · Dec 16th, 2011, 10:34:25 AM

I love your drawings! Especially Ho-Oh and Lilligant. Keep it up! :D

TsukasaSIGN · Dec 17th, 2011, 10:44:15 PM

I seriously just had the best day ever. I was getting money for a ukulele for christmas but this morning on my way to School of Rock (read some earlier post in this thread to know what it is) my mom told me she was just going to buy it today and I would just give her the money after Christmas. After School of Rock we went to the music store that carried the ukulele model I wanted and I was like this day can't possibly get any better.

I WAS WRONG

A few hours later my best friend and my (new) girlfriend came over and my (new) girlfriend had been talking about this surprise for me for the past few days. And what is it, BUT A TABLET.

I didn't know what face to make so I just made an awk normal face. Will post some art soon yeah

EDIT: Post 333. A cool post number to make this day even better.

I know it looks unfinished and is even, I'd say, a step back from my more recent stuff, but I was drawing what the music made me feel so I wasn't striving for perfection. I simply wanted to capture the emotions. I'll color this later (maybe) EDIT: What a nice way to spend my 300th post. Shoutout to Zach Condon because he inspires me every day.
