just completed my new homepage, guys.
although i have the feeling it may be a bit misplaced here, chances are good you will like it anyway.

its got everything from nice design to photography, pretty graphics, logos and pictures, snes collection pictures to hacks and patches.
everything is 100% original artwork and done by me entirely.

just click the image in my signature and have a look.

and if you like what you see, why not say so in this thread.

i'd be thankful if you could report typos or bad grammar/wording if you encounter any.
after all, i'm not a native english speaker, you know.

Holy crap! You did all those 3d images yourself? Excellent job man. And great job on the site. A great work of art in itself.

yep, everything.
but out of 9 images, only 2 are 3d as in 3d rendered.
the rest is entirely handdrawn.


oh, and for those who are hesitating to have a look:
there are catgirl pictures in the computer graphics section.

I'm leaning towards crap, but can easily be swayed to great.

Go ahead. Bribe me. It can be done.

ed: The original word was shitty. Touché to the mods on editing my post.

If only we could have more people like d4s posting in the art forums nowadays. *sigh*

[ + ] That large logo is absolutely smashing! Superb awareness of design, slight colorations and composition.
[ + ] Simple, well-organised interface
[ - ] Scrolling is a minor issue

Suggestions:
-It would be near perfect if the scrolling wasn't in the page at all.
-You could try a flash/html website where the user can choose between flash and html. Keep your old page as the html version. Make a new, brilliantly animated flash page to keep your information and images.

Flash is extremely difficult (almost impossible) to hack and many professional designers use flash for building portfolios. I fucking swear, if you put the contents into a flash-based website and use it as a portfolio, you can get some VERY nice careers in the graphic arts. So far, I see a big success!

I don't know if this is me, if this is lololol or what, but the menu down the side seems to me like it should be aligned with the top of your news items, but isn't (it sits a fair bit down the page)... either this is intentional on your part, or the way lololol displays it, I don't know.

I like your logo, it's very good.

Oh and this is in no way a critique -- but it really doesn't scale to widescreen well. To get the "feel" of it, I had to make my browser smaller

Nice catgirl. I'd make the wet pussy joke, but I'm afraid I'd rather shout copycat instead, as I recognize that exact pose and expression from one of the many Felicia pictures I have.

I'll call back when I find the pic.

i take it that you dont have any experience with drawing yourself.
copying is a great, if not one of the best ways to develop your skill.
then, once you're skilled in the technical department, you can realize your ideas and develop your very own style much easier.


concerning that catgirl image on my page:
a friend of mine showed me the pic you are referring to and i found the pose cute, but the style was rather bland for my liking.
so i resized it to around three times the original size and redrew it completely from scratch, adding countless tiny details here and there during the process and placed the whole thing in a new setting.

i showed the original and my version side-by-side to a couple of people and everybody agreed that my picture looked significantly better.

even if i was absolutely against copying, i'd fail to see whats wrong with it if the copy actually improves on the original.

The pic in his layout is one example of Kawa's drawing.

Copying is... I guess fine as a learning tool, to a point -- but there's a lot it doesn't teach you, like some specifics about anatomy, etc.

Just to clear things up, I can do better than that. It was a five minute Flashjob.

And I rest my case on the catgirl pic.

Well, with copying it depends what you're trying to learn/improve/achieve. Personally, I have no problem with it -- but I think it would be good if you could cite your references in those cases.

And you certainly have a definite eye for detail in coloring.

he already explained that he drew the catgirl pic to improve his own skills. your art looks like a five year olds compared to his, maybe you should learn from him. good artists borrow, great artists steal.

and you copied the userbar from somewhere too, why didn't you just come up with something unique instead?

oh, sorry, didnt know that.
i wasnt trying to insult kawa, i just had the feeling that he is more the collector type of person, not an active artist.

you are right. especially anatomy is a thing that many people practice for years and still dont get right - and i'd say i'm one of these.
from what i've seen, you excel at it.

[edit]
just tried to find the original, but i dont seem to have it anymore.
cant find it on the net, either.
maybe kawa still has it.

Reading the last four posts or some, I think we may have a slight communication error.

Step 1: I recognize the catgirl and prepare proof. I don't post it, but wait for entropy to strike.
Step 2: It does. d4s explains and thinks, despite proof being available, that I don't draw and therefore may not know why he ..."copied" the catgirl in the first place.
Step 3: Tarale insults me. I try hard to ignore.
Step 4: Max is being a misunderstanding dickhead. I try hard to ignore him too.
Step 5: d4s gets the picture, pun intended. Meanwhile I can't tell who he was speaking to in his last line, "from what i've seen, you excel at it".

Uh... I didn't insult you? Did I? I certainly didn't mean to. The only thing I was trying to do was point out that you ARE an artist (when it was initially assumed that you were not) and clarify my position on copying. o.o

"i rest my case on the catgirl pic" sounds like you thought you were right. which you weren't. hence the insulting.
