Fanart of Gunnerkrigg: The Official Art Thread

[psykeout]

Idk just a quick sketch that I did it's ok I guess

[mellytonin]

what do you guys think?

[thereisnosaurus]

very nice animation. the technicals are a touch rough but you did a fantastic job balancing her during the motion to make it seem fluid and practiced. I take it that this is an avatar homage? did you get a motion reference from there?

I will say though, as someone familiar with dem whacks, that typically a front kick like that requires pushing off your bottom foot (onto the ball of the foot, usually with a slight twist of the leg) as in mechanical terms the power is driven from a drive off of the ground, through the hips and 'snapped' with the kicking leg, rather than driven by the power of the leg itself. A flatfooted kick like that is generally lower and used to check a knee or counterkick.

That is excellent Melly. Just finished watching all three seasons with my mom and sister.

Antimony really needs to firebend more.

[mellytonin]

Thank you, Sierra. You should watch Legend of Korra if you haven't already. I believe it is streaming on nick.com in the US at the moment. I did a drawing of Antimony visiting Korra and Naga in the north pole, I'll post it when I get access to a scanner.

Saurus, thanks a lot! I just learned how to make animated gifs on Monday, this was a real challenge. I referenced a clip of aang firebending in season 3 since he was small like Annie. Next I'm trying to do a more difficult one of a metalbender vs a waterbender with only my own self for motion reference.

My computer runs Ubuntu and I used Pencil and GIMP to put this together.

Yeah, I watched LoK too. Can't wait for Book 2 and all that spirit-world juju.

I usually just go to avatarchapters.tv when I need my fix

Here's a drawing of Jones from the one panel page.

[legion]

That's good, though a bit too sexy for Jones.

[Necropaxx]

Heh, I love it, there's just one problem: She doesn't look bored. You need to half-close her eyes.

[GK Sierra]

Jones is... android 18?

"Hey baby! Need an oil change?"

*SMACK*

"OH GOD MY FEMUR"

I will now forever read Jones' dialogue in the voice of the singer from Right Said Fred.

[psykeout]

Woah jeesus lookit that jonesbabe

So everytime I try to draw gunnerkrigg it only comes out just a littlebit under par but surely if I keep trying I will produce an acceptable fan art.

That being said, have this doodle.

I have a really terrible desire to draw ridiculous necks I apologize profusely.

[Rafael]

Now that I've seen the video and your doodle makes sense, I really like it.

And Marina and the Diamonds is ADORABLE! Thank you for showing me the video.

Yeah Marina is really freakin choice. Always happy to show cool artists off. And I can't stop associating that song with Jones its honestly pretty ridiculous. heh.

[rosefae]

Ignore the wonky anatomy... I'm tired and haven't drawn in a while.

[GK Sierra]

Haha, that's great! Almost looks like Ivy Pepper from Lackadaisy Cats with that hat.

[psykeout]

oh my god WHERE IS 50'S STYLE JONES I NEED THIS

anyway.

Someone on tumblr posted their idea for a Human!Coyote design in which he wears a suit and you know how much I like suits so I did a few quick sketches and slapped some color under em

[ryos]

Puts me in mind of Caesar Flickerman from the Hunger Games movie.

[Rafael]

That's great, psyke. He looks like an even bigger jerk, somehow.

Just thinking about whether Reynardine ever dreams of Moon Coyote

[dailenna]

Sweet I like how the shadows on Renardine's back change with the image of the moon.

XD Photoshop 2, which is nearly as old.

[psykeout]

whoops it happened again I apologize sincerely

[Tataudu]

Actually, on the subject of human coyote, I did a few sketches of what I would imagine a human coyote, ysengrin and reynard would be like, basing them on steampunk, dieselpunk and cyberpunk, respectively.

Links because images are large and of poor quality, so not worth any page stretching for.

Also, I recently noticed that someone had noted their disappointment that I'd not designed an Antimony hoodie. Would anyone else like this?

[eyetooth]

Greyscale is weird because I use different colors on different layers. I haven't done final lines/fixes/details because I decided now that I don't like the poses, so... I'm gonna leave it like this until I can figure out how to fix it. Or forget about it.

Thank you, Tom, for inspiring me when I should have been doing homework. :P

[seaofalchemy]

It looks pretty damn awesome, eyetooth! Well done!

We're not saying we wouldn't. (that's my way of saying yes please, but trying to not make you feel obligated just cause we asked)

but it's your time so you can do whatever :)

Here is some wildspec pretending to be fanart. I got to thinking about the flow of ether in the Gunnerverse according to the overlay theory (from a human's perspective) and tried representing it as a flowchart. I redid it with some artistic license and a familiar symbol appeared.

The flow is generally clockwise except maybe for haunting.

[psykeout]

Ah I produced a decent fanart go me
