As you can't really have Kirito without Asuna this one is for her and uses the same background as the Kirito one so they are a matching set. Good things come in pairs that is the case with these Sword Art gfx's. Very cool and creative I know I said that about the Kirito one but I second it on the Asuna one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarada Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 12 hours ago, Animedragon said: Thank you, I'm pleased that you like my art. I've only been doing the sort of graphics I post on here since September, and it was Sakura who encouraged me to start up this gallery. I've been doing various sorts of graphics for the last 25 or so years mostly posters, wallpapers, invites, motto cards etc. As for what inspires me, I do a bit of everything, if I'm doing something like a poster that has to have a certain message then I usually give it a lot of thought and planning before I start work on it. When I'm doing stuff for myself what usually happens is that I get an idea to do something based on a series I've watched or a render that I really like. Sometimes I have an idea how I want it to look and other times I open up the program and start dropping things on it and see how it turns out- sometimes what I end up with is nothing like what I started with My sister is also the one who encouraged me to start making graphics and taught me. You've been doing graphics longer than I've been alive if it's been 25 years! I've only been creating mine for a little over a year. My process is usually building off of renders I find that I decide to use. I enjoyed scrolling the pages of your gallery and seeing what you've created. I look forward to seeing future art posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use Photoshop I'd recommend you have a look at Panosfx.com he's got some great add-on there.

This post turned out longer than I thought ) Thanks you a lot however I didn't make my current sign it was something someone else made that said I could use until I created something to use here. I'm a little lazy you see so creating something myself has been on the back burner this week. I am working on getting my own showcase together and organizing my art pieces but it's a lot more work than I initially planned out. Soon there will be one and I hope it's as well liked as everyone else's here. I'll also look into that website you mentioned. Any extra resources are happily accepted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Gunbuster one of the best anime ending to be honest I prefer Gunbuster than NGE because of the conflict and ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted November 22, 2024 Author Share Posted November 22, 2024 @Zeref, @Sakura, @Kirika_Madeleine Thank you all for your kind comments about my latest GFX I really appreciate them. I had a lot of fun doing the Gunbuster one and spent ages getting the background looking right and getting the texture on the title looking suitably faded. 5 hours ago, Sakura said: Nice ~! I don't know the anime Gunbuster was one of those series that everybody knew and watched back in the 90s it was a Sci-fi series with just about everything in it, giant mech, a mega-giant mech, cute girls, drama, sadness, personal loss, romance, huge alien monsters, epic space battles and a great ending. and all that in 6 episodes! Directed by Hideaki Anno, more famous these days for NGE, the series is available on Blu-ray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 90s just about everything was 6 episodes, which seems really short now. Fortunately I have quite a long attention span which came in useful with some series coming in at 52 episodes or more. More recently 13 seems to be the norm.

Animedragon Posted November 28, 2024 Author Share Posted November 28, 2024 I felt like doing something bright and cheerful, and from a slightly more well known series . So here are Mai and Sayuri from Kanon. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here are Mai and Sayuri from Kanon. Wow What a cool piece of art. I love everything about it, especially the circular frame you used with all of these flowers surrounding it. Everything blends together so well and the bright colors look beautiful. Even the font choice looks elegant and works together so amazingly with the rest of the banner. It reminds me a little of my sisters work and how she always incorporates flower pngs into many of her signatures and banners. I've always loved that bright flowery style but I'm not very good at using it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colours are perfect as is the flower background you used behind these flowers in the front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
