So, in my desperation to get some inspiration for the rest of my calendar, I googled the months and looked for some holidays or events that might inspire and/or motivate me.

For September I saw that Christopher Reeve was born on September 25. As soon as I saw that there was nothing else I could do. I had to do that.

Superman was one of the first movies I was shown and it's still one of my favourite movies. I wanted to try and honour Christopher Reeve for giving Lil' G a Superman to believe in. I believed he could fly.

DementorWell of course he could fly. You don't have to believe it's just common knowledge. ^~ Love it and man now I want to buy that page. You should have put it on November just because my birthday's on it. ^^ Kidding. ^~ LOVE IT!!!!!!

^_^

G76Well yeah, but I like to say it for all the non-believers out there. Try and sneakily turn them into nerds too. XD

November actually was the laziest page out of all of them. T_T I probably should've copied this and used it twice. Would've been better.

DementorYou should make a Batman calendar and all it has are people from the Batman comics like Robin, and all those other cool people and the villains too like Joker and Two Face. Man that would be sweet!!!!!!!! But I know that's a lot of work. ^^

^_^

G76That would be sweet and a lot of fun. ^_^ But yeah...a lot of work. Maybe it could be something I could work on slowly and just add the dates for whatever year I finish it. =P

DementorThat'd be cool, just as long as you're drawing all the amazing Batman characters and villains. ^^

G76Thanks a million. =) Any excuse to draw Superman. XD

I'd like to be better at this sort of sketching, so I try to practice now and then.

Trinity_FireAwwwwwwww, that's awesome, really just amazing---

OH WAIT. HOLY shootTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
THAT'S AWESOME. D: It was so awesome, for a sec, I forgot it was you and your stylistic awesome. Now you're realistic-awesome too.
AND OH MY GOD HOW GORGEOUS IT IS.
This is a shading!fest. What do you mean, you can't shade??? I LOVE this stuff~ seriously, the shading you have is brilliant. *___________* The style, the flow of the lines, the SUPER-SUPER SOFT AND SUBTLE TONES~ OH DEAR LORD.
And, of course, add to that the awesome anatomy, face, grayscale work, perspective... I can't throw enough points at you. D:

This. Is. Amazing. ♥

G76*catches points* I just have very very high standards when I do stuff like this Trinity. Way higher than my normal stuff. I just expect to be...well...almost perfect. I want it to look like them (if I'm drawing someone real) and I just want everything to be perfectly in place. And I'm really still quite a stranger to this way of drawing...so I can never tell how I'm doing or when to stop. D:

Buuuuuuuuutttttttttttt...I like this one. Maybe just because it's Superman ;) but I do. There are bits that look a bit strange, but I just copied the photo as it was, so I'm gonna blame the photographer. XD

supergirlcomixIt must be sweet to fly...9_9 I remember I went to Germany and I was amazed by the plane...It was actually...very unreal to be IN the air. ha ha. YOU DO GOOD REALISM TOO!! G, you are so awesome, it makes me want to skip. ^_^

G76 on January 10, 2008, 9:44:06 AM

G76 on
G76O_O You went to Germany? I'd love to go to Germany. The first time I was on a plane, it was quite weird that moment when you feel it leaving the ground. Scary too. D:

Thanks very much. =) But if you start skipping, I think it'll make me start skipping.

supergirlcomix on January 10, 2008, 10:17:53 AM

supergirlcomix on
supergirlcomixYes! I actually got to go on a German Class trip. We went to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. I'd never left the country before. ^_^ It's beautiful there.

*skip skip skip* XD

G76 on January 10, 2008, 10:28:19 AM

G76 on
G76FOR A CLASS TRIP?!?!? Oh man, the most we ever did on a class trip was go to a museum and look at rocks. =(

*skip skip skip* Oh...see what happened?

supergirlcomix on January 11, 2008, 10:31:06 AM

supergirlcomix on
supergirlcomixHa ha...well..we had to pay to go of course...(I'm not going to a fancy private school. ha ha ha) But every two years if you have saved away enough money to go (and your in at the very least your second year of German...) Your free to go. ^_^ I loved it.

G76=) Perfect? Wow...=) Realism is really hard for me too. That's why I don't try it very often. And trying to get drawings to look the same as the way people really look is really hard too. =(

LPUMikeSmooth lines and nice details!

G76Thanks very much. =) I really spent some time and concentration on this...so I'm glad ya like it.

marschiboi on
marschiboiahh oh my god, thats so awsome! you should draw more often like that O: who the hell is christopher reeve? XD
and wow, fac let me comment on this one, what an honour!

G76 on January 10, 2008, 5:44:43 AM

G76FAC is depriving me of your comments!!! ARRGGHHH! I am not happy.

I'd like to do more sketchy, real life type stuff...but I don't know. It seems really hard to get started. I spend so much time looking for a good picture...or just trying to start the drawing in a good way...I always give up. But this time it was Superman. ;) XD It was quite easy to motivate myself for this one.

Christopher Reeve was Superman in the first four Superman movies. And I thought he was awesome. There are bits were I'm positive he's really flying. XD
