Ultimate Art Challenge!

[Crocosquirrel]

This evening, I found myself with a challenge: Draw a humanoid sprite, to prove that I'm the worst artist currently with the Studio(I'm a writer). I'm not sure I should really be trusted with a copy of Photoshop or a tablet, but there it is.

So! Now for the challenge-- Take the .psd at the link below, clean it up, and see if you can make something that might be worthy to use in a VN.

Submissions should be in .png format, but hang onto your .psd files .psds should have body on a separate layer from the outfit, if you would, please.

Winner gets bragging rights!

For those who want to see what they're up against...

If you want to make requests for art, feel free.

You have been warned.

In case of requests, I will take not more than five.

Judging by the way you want the PSD set up, you intend to want to be able to use the work?

[Crocosquirrel]

No, but I should really have a reminder of what to do if I ever get sucked into one of these challenges again. :/

Even if the best move is to leave it the work to the artists I have on staff. They've worked out that I wasn't kidding about being extremely poor at this.

If someone would like to do a version for use, I'm okay with that.

Ooooh, sounds fun!

One quick question: are we allowed to redo the line art? Redo as in same hair/clothes/pose/etc. but vector'd or something to make the lines smoother, maybe add a few gizmos? I can count.

[Edit: OTL I don't have PS. Mind if I download the .jpg and attempt the challenge on SAI?]

[Crocosquirrel]

Whatever you feel the need to do, as long as you don't change the outfit in a significant way, and it's still recognizably the same character when you're done. The pose isn't set in stone either. I was trying to avoid drawing fingers.

Enjoy.

I was about to ask that too! I won't pretend that I don't prefer coloring other people's drawings than doing them myself >_> <_< Can we remove the lines (and go lineless) if we want then?
I'm busy now but I should come back here in a few days.

Oh 9:19, you don't know how to use your art programs :C SAI takes .sai, .psd, .bmp, .jpg, .png, and .tga files. SAI version 1.1.0 can save transparency.

Took a break from failing at Ninja Love to fail at Katsumi instead.

I was trying to avoid drawing fingers.

Me too.

Eek. I didn't know that either. How embarrassing. （#╯_╰#） Thank you for filling me in!

Mmkay, 30 minutes is long enough to resurrect my thingamabob. Excuse me while I go romance the face napkin off of Kotaro's pretty ninja head.

Just don't tell people I went with you without you buying me a dinner first. I don't want others saying I'm easy.
Jokes aside, I'm glad I was of any help. You should explore Sai a little bit and see what it can really do.
And your lineart looks lovely.

..I think I went overboard. Sorry orz

..Hello. I'm sorry I disappeared. T-T As apology, I have used this challenge to whip myself back into shape. Forgive me *sob*

Uhm but yeah...I think I over did it. And I don't know if it still looks like the same character. And I'm clearly no good at upgrading outfits...Cobwebs so koot :3

Hands are evil.
