wow, I love this! the bright blue is so cheerful and really puts you in a "vacation" mood. I love how happy and whimsical this is <3 your simple lines are very nice too. great job! I always love seeing your work :)

demonred21 @ 2009-11-27 23:35:42

oo so cute~ I really like that glare in the corner and the cute characters :>

weisen1 @ 2009-12-09 20:53:58

Seems like a very nice and relaxing sort of middle-east.

NekoBrimm @ 2009-12-16 14:13:35

Your work is always so cheerful. Cute stuff.

Seamstress_guy @ 2010-02-08 00:27:32

Everything about this picture just fits! :D Awesome job! You are very talented!

moonseed @ 2009-06-30 21:35:27

weeeee nothing like a good sillhouette (or however you spell it)

DeeHunt @ 2009-07-08 04:01:01

Looks simple but awsome =D.

Alulae @ 2009-07-18 01:06:22

Looks pretty cool - I like all the hands giving peace signs. On a closer look the left leg looks a bit off in proportion, but otherwise nice silhouette. :3

DeathDealerNadine @ 2009-07-20 15:18:22

simply amazing...

crystilmitsuru @ 2009-09-26 14:18:16

It's so simple, but there's a controlled roughness that keeps your interest.

I like the color, too.

PepperEverlong @ 2009-11-14 01:19:51

Rock out!
So much energy, umf umf

NekoBrimm @ 2009-06-24 10:58:03

Surrounded by kitties. <3

Not sure whether I like the background very much but, it's something. <<

(Edited on June 24, 2009, 9:27 pm)

Angellis @ 2009-06-24 22:36:47

I actually like the background. It's nuetral leaving most attention to the foreground. I would have probably not added the extra halftone spots though. I adore her clothing...the details..the fringe. Poor mousy.

NekoBrimm @ 2009-06-30 04:28:56

Thanks. X3
I had tried to go back and undo those spots but I couldn't get the applet to "undo" them, so I had to work around them. ><

Edit: Fixed for the most part now~. :3

Its very cute! I like the way it was drawn too.=3

NekoBrimm @ 2009-05-15 14:13:07

Going with the current theme: Businness Men. Take the business card, now. Don't be shy or forget to call. >3

And now,... finished! Don't know if the background works for this but *shrugs*. XD;;;

Kon looks too sexy

Shi Painter

alu87 @ 2009-02-17 23:31:26

Uhm, back to studying.

weisen1 @ 2009-02-21 12:17:45

The thumbnail really does this picture no justice.
The waves in this picture are just dazzling... I could imagine standing on it.

kungfu05 @ 2009-03-10 15:28:17

I agree, you definitely have to full view the image to really appreciate it. Wonderful motion in the water.

Airirea @ 2009-03-28 23:45:14

neat, makes me want to dip my hand into the water

cattomao @ 2009-06-23 18:41:41

beautiful! i love the colors and the visible brush strokes :)

Tobi @ 2009-01-24 01:21:03

Bad example of the effects...;

Anyway, do you like jellyfish...?

(Edited on January 24, 2009, 3:01 am)

LaurieSuncat @ 2009-01-24 10:42:44

Thank you so much for providing a demo of the technique. Very helpful.

InfinityOnTheRun @ 2009-01-24 11:14:34

Oh my this is adorable :)
I like the texture and the girl is very cute!

DinchtGirlie @ 2009-01-24 16:46:57

8D this is AWESOME. <3

TurtleQueen @ 2009-01-25 22:20:35

wow that's such a cool technique you have! I never knew until now how you achieved that lovely grainy texture. *__* if you don't mind me asking, how did you blur/soften the girl? anyways, this is so lovely! the red of the umbrella provides such nice contrast, and the jellyfish are so whimsical <3 I love your work!

GeminiRyoko @ 2009-01-26 22:37:35

Nice, that is an interesting effect. I like that a lot.

Tobi @ 2009-01-30 20:47:18

Thank you all for the comments.

>TurtleQueen
I used both "Blur" and "antiAlias" in tools palatte.

Cherubim @ 2009-02-02 02:15:02

oh that's so cool! I want to try it now. thanks!

santi-emeto @ 2009-02-02 09:52:43

Looks so pastel! I lovvvvve that!

Cloudy Crystals @ 2009-02-03 02:45:31

I love the jellyfish, and the contrast of the umbrella with everything else!

Nice texture, as well. :)

Lauraz @ 2009-03-29 12:08:42

Wow, Tobi! Thanks for the tutorial! I'll definitely try this out sometime--it's a gorgeous effect. I'm amazed by your range and the different kinds of image you can wring out of an oekaki board.

asia manga @ 2009-06-07 20:07:35

that's so awesome, thanks for the tutorial in the animation!!

Nemuri @ 2009-06-08 14:52:08

the colors and texture is really nice

TorterraOfDeath @ 2009-07-01 15:53:10

i really like the picture!

>___< I don't know.

Iivis @ 2009-01-23 13:31:42

Aww, these are the cutest fishies I've seen! I particarly love the little one swimming towards the surface. :)
The tones are cool~

Tobi @ 2009-01-24 03:11:01

Ohh, such lovely eyes!!
And their long tails remind me of Disney's Fantasia.

InfinityOnTheRun @ 2009-01-24 11:15:10

Aww this is adorable :)
I like the ripples in the water

Frost @ 2009-03-14 12:17:23

Very cute fish! the watery effect is really good :)

Haimaru @ 2009-05-16 03:53:58

Funny looking-big-eyed fish! Amazing colors too!

Shi Painter

B_A_D @ 2009-01-09 14:37:15

Hello OC, it's been years :D I thought I'd try drawing a sailboat for this weeks theme

TurtleQueen @ 2009-01-09 21:04:08

wow, this is really neat! it feels so magical, with the sailboat poised on the clouds overlooking a waterfall. love the colors and the composition, too. great job :)

B_A_D @ 2009-01-10 00:44:47

Thank you, man this site is dead, when I was here two years ago there seemed to be new posted every few minutes.

weisen1 @ 2009-01-10 16:41:53

Reminds me of peter pan : )

Tobi @ 2009-01-24 03:08:33

Gee, you've done this in 35 min...

Draw more, please. ^^

Owl @ 2008-12-21 06:15:49

I thought the calendar could use some traffic, plus, I love owls. =)

Thanks for the comments everyone, they warm my insides like a fuzzy blanket. ;)

(Edited on December 31, 2008, 11:12 am)

LaurieSuncat @ 2008-12-21 10:10:59

And this is a beautiful owl, with all the abstract posterized coloring. Nice job!

tiamat4eva @ 2008-12-21 12:27:06

the use of color reminds me of those paint by numbers!~ but in a really cool way. The colors have a very autumn feel which really comnpliments the theme.

TurtleQueen @ 2008-12-22 15:01:30

wow, your use of colors is so inventive, and the way you use solids is beautiful! I especially love how the turquoise blue brings out the feathers...awesome job!

weisen1 @ 2008-12-26 00:43:27

The splashes of blue steal the show : )

starmist @ 2008-12-28 05:16:31

A really gorgeous pictures, the use of colours is fabulous! Beautiful feather textures too =)

Tobi @ 2008-12-28 06:21:04

I entirely agree with the people above...
Beautiful job!

mairin @ 2009-01-05 02:40:47

I love everything about this picture, the color, the texture, the detail... Great job.

InfinityOnTheRun @ 2009-01-24 11:15:41

I absolutely lovee the coloring in this. The teal is great too :)

spectatrix @ 2009-02-20 15:13:29

I really like this unconventional colouring, it looks detailed at first glance yet has a nice roughness to it. Realistic looking and great colour combo :)

NekoBrimm @ 2009-05-17 15:26:21

Very nice and creative use of solids. The colors are really wonderful too. X3 <3

cattomao @ 2009-06-23 18:41:10

payroo @ 2008-09-06 19:14:54

Painting skills~ love how you added some screentones - contrasts nicely with the smoothness of the rest.

tiamat4eva @ 2008-09-06 21:26:03

TOTALLY recognized him off the main page <3, those lips are dead sexy

Heather Sells @ 2008-09-09 23:11:15

AMAZING. I loveee Miyavi. You did him great justice!!

sonzaikami @ 2008-11-09 19:54:05

Haimaru @ 2009-05-16 03:54:39

tish @ 2008-05-05 14:18:06

Lumin, I'm not expert on sexy men,
but his smile is great thing. It just make my day. (hint me: who is it? I'm horrible at actors... )

Lumin @ 2008-05-06 01:27:13

Thank you tish! :*
And I tried to draw Al Pacino (in my opinion he is true-sexy)))))))))

but... feeble attempt =_=

KyuuketsukiRiziki @ 2008-05-08 12:16:50

recognized him from the main page. And Yes, he is VERY sexy

I really like the hair here by the way

Lumin @ 2008-05-12 05:59:25

Thanks! =)

PeekaJinx @ 2008-05-15 06:40:07

My first attempt at (semi-)realism. Not too sucky i think, but pointers are always welcome! XD Anyways, that's supposed to ne English comedian Russell Brand.

Casey @ 2008-04-23 01:00:13

...this just came out weird...

Iivis @ 2008-04-23 09:36:47

Ho ho ho, this is lovely. :D I love the concept here, poor tree. This reminds me of those pictures I see in books. (...and then, without a word, she jumped on the chair with the tree on it, and started making strange poses) :D The thing bugging me here is that lines are a bit jaggy at some parts, like her feet.

weisen1 @ 2008-04-23 09:53:52

Haha... amazing concept, it just screams high fashion.
And the minimalist style makes me all happy and giddy inside, there's a of colour bleeding on her shoes however.

GeminiRyoko @ 2008-04-23 22:14:20

Well. High fashion is weird. Good job!

TurtleQueen @ 2008-04-27 20:38:37

this is so interesting! the style really intrigues me and draws me in. I love the concept and overall design. definitely high fashion :)

Lallijandra @ 2008-07-06 23:34:26

I like the style.
:o

Anne Boleyn @ 2008-07-17 16:26:44

YOu should stick to this style of drawing, cas, I like it best. I like the simplicity....and how it looks like your hand was nice and loose.

cami @ 2008-08-14 20:14:12

ooh, this is so cool! very original! i like how you used the same midtone for everything and the background is so cute!

Oddity @ 2008-10-25 06:38:53

wow lovely imaginative idea
its wonderful, where did the inspiration come from?

Frost @ 2009-03-14 12:49:40

I love this! Love style,love the concept and the colours :) Very inspiring :)

nthn @ 2008-04-14 20:37:59

Male or female...?

I'm not too great at perspective - but I can't figure out how to sort it out... >_<
Any tips appreciated...

Kagoshima @ 2008-10-03 10:38:54

i think this person is male...because if it was a girl her waist would be thinner i guess...^^ nice pic....

Shi Painter

nthn @ 2008-04-07 19:28:17

Brocolli and Tomato.... someone was bound to do this eventually... *rolleyes*
I apologize if I have scarred anyone's mind.
But seriously, we have Furries... so.... anyone want to roleplay anthropomorphic vegetables? No?

yuki.kao @ 2008-04-07 19:54:03

you have no idea how much this made me laugh XDDDD sexy vegetables FTW

Beta @ 2008-04-17 23:25:59

I like Broccoli's mullet

CatsinSummer @ 2008-05-01 15:12:58

Oh my, those are some hot veggies there.

PeekaJinx @ 2008-05-15 06:42:48

Broccoli doesn't have a mullet.. mullets mean long hair in the back and short hair on top... that's an 80s style bouffant hairdo.. lol

Koi Sundae @ 2009-05-18 14:57:40

Iivis @ 2008-04-07 10:12:27

Well, this was the first thing that popped in my mind when I thought about healthy food ...which sounds kinda... well, anyway. The lineart took forever, because I tried my best at making it nice and clean. What a lame background, shame on me. D:
I listened caramelldansen at least five times through while making this. :D

//EDIT Oh noes! I scrolled down and found that the dancing food pic too has veggies with faces. Please believe me when I say that I didn't intentionally steal the idea. D: This is just a (very curious) coincidence.

Aaaaaaaaww. They are so adorable! *hugs the happy fruits* My fav is the grape with the >_< face XD

oekaki_girl @ 2008-04-12 16:17:02

Aw I really love this, it's such a cute idea.
I love the grape with its tongue sticking out.. :D
The pear wins...XD

Jackie Hippie @ 2008-04-20 03:52:35

SO cute! Not to mention great coloring and shading!

yesidiaz @ 2008-05-01 05:11:22

lol this is too cute. I did the dancing veggies pic and believe me I know you didn't steal this idea it just seems like the first thing to pop in pple's head when you gotta draw healthy food and not make it all boring like xD

Lallijandra @ 2008-07-06 23:35:22

The peach is so cute.
*o*

akiko @ 2008-08-21 23:13:27

zomgz happy orange. xD This is so cute! I like how it's sort of like a still life, but with the hapy fruit. :3 Just looking at this makes me happy.

EpicNinja @ 2008-09-27 05:06:05

thats lovely.......I bet if grapes could talk they'd be really annoying

NekoBrimm @ 2009-05-17 15:29:29

Wonderful textures on the fruits' skin. The cartoony faces on them are cute.

anyway, this is my oekaki for the Dragon theme. i know, it's a bit small, but I felt like something small kay XD

this is my first time using watercolour in oekaki. it turned out alright, i think..

GeminiRyoko @ 2008-01-29 23:24:58

Oh this is different. I love all the different colors you used, and how the person fades into the background. Very nice.

Move to Page - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - 14
