eduardobedoya04, frozenfa, Inabottle, Medrano, thank you for feedback Yes, his leg looks a tad large in comparison. It can be difficult to foreshorten one >_<;

I don't know what is left for me to say. I'm speechless. Your work is GREAT!

Absolutely elite worth! Great!

You two make an awesome team.
Great work again

fantastic!

Hail to the supreme duo
The leg isn't too long in my opinion, since we can't see the exact length of the other leg and the arm is also 'very' long. It is a perspective thingy (no you mentioned his characteristics in the description...never mind then)? Oh well, like it alot (the shadow is neat too)!

Just great

Right thigh is really too long, but it is forgiven when I see the awesome work you put in the whole image! great job! +8

Ah, screw anatomy, this work is all about dynamics and fun. Good job on the coloring. When will we see some of your line work?

Good work!

I had a feeling I would be seeing this one soon. Good colours

Such a dynamic pose - everything leads the eye around the picture. I took a look at the detail shots and full view and it's very inspiring to see. I actually think the anatomy looks correct.. exaggerated, of course, but correct.

You deserve to be elite.

I noticed the long leg too - but it fits the stylized figure. I´d love to see the process for this awesome work!

Juji, as always your colouring is SUPERB, but I would really like to see a drawing you have created all on your own, Pretty please!

You working good together! Great work (both on line and on colouring)8+/8

Thanks for the nice words guys!
Cinnamon: Well, I certainly do my own drawings too, Pillows was my drawing, but I just haven't been doing that many sole creations because I've been working so much on this project with HOON. Although I am slowly cooking one up in the oven

I can't wait to see it - I really love your style

cool

Whoa. You're the spectacular artist who's been commenting on my photographs! I'm amazing slow.

You get my +10 and favorites list. This is AMAZING! It's great to see this sort of style from a fellow female. It tends to be dominated by male- if you understand what I mean. Just, wow. Great.

Juji art is most excellent I had a look at the thumbnails of the other NTS characters you've done, love them all, can't wait to see them posted.

(Hey maybe you can do some more art featuring PHO girl )

Hehe, thanks wittykitty. Yeah, most are guys around here. Not that I'm complaining
Thanks Peachy! That's a big complement coming from you! Heck ya! I wanna draw more pho girl!

Awesome. Max Points!

Incredible. !!!!!!!!!! 10/10

The movement of the chains in this are great. You have a really nice style. Well done.

Jujika I kinda sorta agree with Cinnamon
all tho your team work with Hoon is absolutely amazing I hope the next one is all your baby

great post Jujika & Hoon
10+

Hehe. Well, there's gonna be one more sneak preview of Ninja Talk Show (NTS) and then I'm afraid I can't post any more collabs
But don't worry, I have a few of my own pics coming after that!
Thanks for comments and votes ^^ They are much appreciated

Dude. I want one of those chain thingies.....not a whip, not a ball and chain....what is it???

It's uh.....two scythes attached at each end with a chain and some metal things. All kinds of weilding possibilities

awesome dynamic!!

well u know this is tight. just great.

fantastic dynamics....a 10

absolutely stunning...O_o

This is very good work and you will be elite this month. I like to see drawings in drawing gallery. I wish I had more than 7 vote to give.

Well i dont really need to tell you how good this is do i?? Your bloody good is all im saying!! lol! Awesome work!!! This is the style i want to achieve with my characters. Something much harder then i anticipated. brilliant!!

I would love a comment from you on my latest work!
Thankyou!!

what a shot stacy dear.....I love this pose very very much

Hey are you chinese??? How do you know all???

Thank you everyone!
Moni: hehe, no I am not chinese. You are perhaps looking at the red seal? That is a signature stamp HOON added. Thanks for your reply

Everything is super, but the scythe further away is huge in comparison.

Wow!!! very strong composition. I like so much~

u are the best 7/7

Look who's going to be elite this month....

Excellent work. But if i got this right; You are a colorist? Or do you also do some drawing? Because, I'm sorry, but most of the excellence comes from Hoon's drawing-skills. The coloring alone shouldn't qualify you as drawing-elite...

But maybe I'm speaking to soon. And don't get me wrong, I think you're great

amazing.....NINJA HIYA!!! (thumbsup)

absolutely amazing work

first of all, thanks all for kind words, and generous constructive comments you all left here. glad to find juji and my collaborative efforst are well recieved. i personally must thank Juji for bringing these concept arts into reality with great precision, and very tasetful color decisions.

our work process goes something like this.
as i sketch, Juji and i constantly share the idea for the character, and i take as much advices as possible coming from juji's input. when sketch is done, and coloring process begins, we do the same thing, and i constantly input my thoughts towards rendering character in color. so there really isnt point of breaking down who does what parts of creating the image.
anyone who ever collaborate with another artist should know, that your job isnt simply working on pencil, or just brushing up the character. great collab chemisty only happens when both are deeply involved in whole process of work, from the begining to the end, top to bottom.

Having said that, I would have to point out Artoonator's comment and respond.
i am not quite certain how you can separate the lines out of the color when you come across a piece such as this.
with status you have as an elite, it will be only approperiate if you have better understanding of drawing.
Drawing shouldnt suggest only "LINE ART."
there are thin line between drawing and painting, and what differenciate the two is simply how you approach art, in my oppinion. What you see here, is catagorized as drawing, because the system in this community requires such catagorization. i believe these concept arts are welcome to many of you because they do have multiple values as art. which conveys more than a single simple technical classification of genre.
im also having hard time understanding what you mean by "drawing-elite." do you suggest that people who draw should only draw, but not to paint? if so, i suppose catagorizations are there to limit your ability to express oneself in art technically.
last, but not least, when you say "most of the excellence comes from Hoon's drawing-skills," sorry to say it but that doesnt come to me as a complement. im proud of this piece as collaborative work, and these pieces deserve to be in Jujis gallery for level of work she put into each pieces.

i will be completely honest with you all. i personally think there are greater talents in members gallery than elite gallery- by far. for some artists here might think having a little golen boy or girl next to your alias could be a goal, and it may mean so much to you, but i can assure you, its nothing more than a symbol. I think its better drawing or paint another piece and tame your skills rather than work so hard to "lobby" your way around, get to know all your fellow members and be recognized as friendly figure who shares unspoken-obligation to vote each other. sure, its nice to be part of a community and be active, but doing so only to gain "elite" Status as your goal is simply waste of time.


thanks all once again for commenting and supporting. your words will help greatly for both Juji and myself.

"but doing so only to gain "elite" Status as your goal is simply waste of time. "

well thats of coz true but if you would follow your own credo that elite isnt everything
it would be just fair not to try to get into elite voting if the pics itself are only 50% or less done by someone.

but as life is never fair you dont need to care about my old fashioned opinion

thanks uncle-xeN for partial agreement as well as sharing your philosophy regarding life. id also appreciate that if you dont doubt my "credo" regards to elite is stil in one piece, and its always been that way. people tend to assume high scored piece will guarantee elite status, and becoming an elite in GFX is some ultimate reward, but i beg to differ. i personally think having some of great responses right here in this gallery did so much for us. wouldnt expect much more.

actually life is quite fair to my opinion. its only matter of how you looking at it.

Oboy, I had to scroll for about a quarter to get down here to write my critique! Lots of critiques here! Well, what's left to say... Love the 3D feeling, great work with light and shadows, great composition, and... keep on creating, you two!

Superb collaboration effort here. The lineart you had to work with is fantastic, and your eye for color and your ability to elaborate that line drawing really makes it come alive. You and Hoon are truly a force to be reckoned with, and I'm sad to see that coming under fire here.

It's really great to see such a synergy of artistic minds create some wonderful pieces of art that are rich in color and substance. I applaud you both.

The Ninja's shadow is my favorite part--it looks like a woodcut or an entity all of its own.

Thanks for comments everyone
ARTOONATOR: HOON pretty much covered most of it. About the section posting: I felt myself that I should probably post this in painting, so I looked up the rules for painting and drawing section. It said that any pic that has the line art showing, whether it is filled in with color or not, is a drawing, not a painting. And this pic certainly has most of the lineart showing. ^^; So I believe it belongs here.

Great picture. I like very much both the colouring and how you changed proportions and anatomy. Amazing job!

*sexy men detector blows up*

I have nothing against collabs... and i like villians + this is a man.

For god's sake!

@ Hoon Life's a bitch
xeN and Artoonator are right on one site; you're right on the other site. Since I'm also working as a colorist since a couple of time I know that coloring a piece can be much work.
Whatever I don't think that she would "need" your drawing skills. She even gets many points when she works on her own.
So she'd become elite sooner or later anyways.

reilanchan: life is great, art celebrates it. DUALITY on the other hand is a bitch, as well as blessing
Please, keep in mind that both me and Juji here arent doing art to get ELITE in gfx. that never has been a goal.
me and juji have worked on comicbook project together and got published before, and we are doing it again, this time around, with original story. these character design concepts are made to develop that story.
im glad you think that juji is capable of getting alot of points on her own and becoming elite. and i agree. absolutely. though i wish you dont under- estimate the value of collaborative efforts. both me and juji share the same and greater purpose when we work together, and when our work is posted here, its a way of sharing that with everyone. ^^

Well, as I said. I think that all comments have their right to exist.
There's some truth in all of them. In some more ins some less.

This is simply AMAZING! Great study, colors, pose, light , detail, dinamic composition, tecnique..........
highest vote for me! +10

Hoon, I think I wasn't being very clear in my comment. I also posted painted illustrations in the drawing section, completed by linework. So I don't have a dogma on what drawing should be. I was just saying that when Stacy posts work in which she did the painting work, she is in this case the painter.
I'm not saying that I have a strong opinion on what 'drawing' or 'painting' should be like, and i understand what a shared process does. You suggesting that I (and being elite has nothing to do with that what soever) should have a better understanding of what it all is about comes to me as belittering. You don't know what my view on art is, because I never said anything about that. All I mentioned on that part was that I PERSONALLY find more appreciation for your drawing skills, than for Stacies coloring work, in a technical way, and in a subjective way. For all I know, we share the same opinion on what makes a good artwork, and I also mentioned thinking about Stacies artwork as great.
(Sorry, needed to clear that up, because i don't like people being judgmental about my perspective on art, I'm actually very liberal in my opinions on that.)

it's awesome!

ARTOONATOR, please don't feel upset. HOON was not trying to be judgemental of your perspective. He was simply stating that there is no part of the picture that I did not contribute to. Even the line art. I did add much to the line art, changing it from HOON's original design, so I am more than just the painter, and he is more than the inker. And his remark about you being elite was simply bringing out that people have recognized your good skills.
We were not offended by your comment. We understood. I'm sorry if we didn't state ourselves very clearly.

sugoooy

Speechless........

I like the shadow

max pts! The coolest shadow I've ever seen

Again, wonderful work
