To try and calm the storm of frustration I'm seeing among the community, I've decided to work extra hard for you guys to bring not one, but TWO new screensavers of MT Fang! Between the two, I've been working from 11:30ish a.m to now, 4:34 p.m. I used Sketchbook Pro for iPad (also on the android market) as well as the mobile version on my iPhone. I love you guys lots, but please don't pm me looking for step by step methods lol. There are plenty of videos on YouTube and guides that can be found on googl, and practice makes perfect!

In the order that I've made them:

Awesome!! Amazing work

I'm speechless.... Lol jk this is amazing!

Thanks you guys :)

Hey red? Just wanted to ask you how you became so good at drawing. I really admire you and your work, and I just really think you would be awesome as a artist!

I'd like to consider myself an artist already lol, but thanks man! I've been doing it for nearly 20 years and practice increases your work quality greatly over time. Going to school also helped a great deal. If you look at the first few pics I did when I started PL while I wasn't going to school, it doesn't even compare to my work now after almost 2 years of school and instruction

Omg, how can I save this?!

On iDevices just hold your finger over the picture and save, on a PC just right click and save, and for droids I have no clue (apple fanboy lol)

Joking, this is awesome Red.

I haven't updated since the date, but I will shortly! Pertaining to my thread in the fan art section, I'll update it too.

Awesome eye you've got! Thank you for sharing your talent!! Happy Holidays to you too!!

Thanks Max! You're epic and that would be an awesome Pre-loading screen :) Get some spare time, could you put in arow in side or front of that eagle? ;)

RedRyder

12-16-2011, 08:18 PM

An arrow like the loading bar? Or something else?

Red man this stuff is amazing. Some needs to see these. You do this on ipad right? You should be some where big!

RedRyder

12-16-2011, 08:33 PM

Red, when is the next update for your Gallery? I really want that Bear!

You can have the pictures through the thread lol. Just touch and hold your finger down on the picture until the "save image" option appears. Deviant art doesn't provide a way to upload on mobile and I'm in bed with the laptop so very far away (a few feet on my couch lol) and I'm feeling incredibly lazy now. Maybe tomorrow

Red man this stuff is amazing. Some needs to see these. You do this on ipad right? You should be some where big!

Yup on iPad, and thanks man! I finally bought a stylus yesterday but it's pretty much the same as just my finger lol. Lack of pressure sensitive screens makes stylus' kinda pointless. I only used it for coloring the bear today though, so idk how drawing works with it. I'll try a few sketches on my phone now.

Carth

12-16-2011, 08:52 PM

My word! Red, I will personally ship over my Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch tablet to you free of charge. You need it way more than I do. :D

I'm making that PL all-together pic my screen saver when I get home.

Arrow through his side, like a Wounded Eagle haha.

RedRyder

12-16-2011, 09:25 PM

Thank you everyone :) I promise to clean the "altogether" picture up as soon as I get on photoshop. It was a real nuisance to do on the iPad lol.

Draopwnzall

12-16-2011, 09:31 PM

Red, get off your 4ss, lol jk. But I can't click on the picture, it won't let me. I got the Bird and Mage from Gallery. :)

Sweetness. The warrior one is epic. I know you have mentioned it in the past, but what is your main hardware/software combo you use for these?

12-17-2011, 09:55 AM

Done.
These are the backgrounds of every sams club and apple store near my area.

Thanks all! @chang, you'll get it down soon enough!

Thanks bro, I used sketchbook pro on an iPad 2, and the bear is my first time using a stylus with a fiber tip (but only with some of the coloring) that I bought from a Brookstone store. I did the line art on my phone using sketchbook mobile which I think is on sale now (2.99 when I bought it) as well as the tablet version (it was 5.99 when I got it) the stylus was only about $12 which is a pretty good price.

STS should offer you a job as a designer - youre amazing!!! :D

RedRyder

12-17-2011, 10:53 AM

The Mage is my favorite haha idk what it is, but she stands out the most to me, but the bet took more effort, and the bird te least, but I still have a lot of hours clocked in for each! (minimum of 6 ea.)

Cool, thanks. I am thinking about picking up an ASUS EEE tablet and although I am not as artistic drawing-wise as you, looking to start messing around with it.

Hey RedRyder... those are awesome man. Do you use a sketchpad to do it? Tablet? They really are amazing.

Do you have hi Res versions? I'd like to use one as my bg if that's ok with you

Edit: I obviously didn't read your post :(

Haha yea I used sketchbook pro for iPad. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make them high res. I could've done it on the apps high definition canvas feature, but it's nearly impossible to work with without the huge risk factor, since it only limits you to four layers and is inoperable to upload from the iPad and download it on the iPhone to continue working when I'm on the go. I'm going to redo the "altogether" version on photoshop to give you guys a crisper ultimate screensaver. It should be possible to make it high def on photoshop as well.

Absolutely fantastic work here! The Pocket Legends logo looks a bit fuzzy, but maybe that's just my terrible eyesight/computer screen, so I'm glad you're going back to it because it looks really great! :) Try to get some sleep now, we don't want you crashing!

Thanks man, going back on it with photoshop is a must. It's not just you, the logo is fuzzy. Unfortunately, SB isnt great for Editing as much as it is for creating :/ it won't be up till Tuesday, but you guys havenext Friday to look forward to for a special holiday screensaver :) I might have a preview sketch for you guys tonight even. Tomorrow the latest.

RedRyder

12-18-2011, 09:43 AM

@chang time really flies man! You don't even notice!

@drao I did it with you in mind haha, you're welcome!

@saool thanks!

@suntv go for it bro! A life without art would be the end of me, its painful to imagine someone with drawing potential that doesn't pursue it. We share the same first name so it's obviously meant for you! Haha, Don't stop dude!

@olz as I said in the past, I don't play SL so I'm not familiar with the game. For my first SL creation, it took a lot of help from SL players and I don't want to bother anyone. With PL I'm super familiar with the game, sice I've been playing almost 2 years, and I could draw any character with my eyes closed in any art style with the many times I've encountered them.
For now, you're going to have to just make due with the last SL pic I made. It was really out of my element so I honestly didn't enjoy making it too much.

But there's hope! I'm thinking of catching up on SL after getting on for 5 minutes to check out the new content. The new sets are epic. Very Metroid esque, which happens to be on my top 3 favorite all-time game series'. If I get back into SL, then you'll see more SL art.

So there's that, and I'm not doing requests for anyone. Last time I did was for my art requests for PL gold thread, which might make a return in the very near future... Do you guys think I should do it?

I'm probably breaking some kind of forum rule here by not contributing anything new to the discussion but dude.... Awesome job!! Downloaded and using now xD

RedRyder

12-18-2011, 11:41 PM

@drao that's not needed bro, I was just thanking those that thanked me, not implying for anyone else to thank me too.

@pandar, it's an amazing app! It's not so great for painting though. It's possible on it, but with the absence of a smudge/blending tool, it really difficult. For painting, art studio is more suitable.

Hey guys/gals, I DRASTICALLY changed the old picture of the three together, and also improved the quality. I started from scratch, meaning i didn't use the old picture at all. Sketchbook is awesome, but you gotta love photoshop :)
