Hi, i'm A.M. '^'

Yes, im a newb lol. i found this place on a random google search.
i was wondering though if any teams wanted/could have use for an illustrator... i'm a hobbyist, so i was just looking for some extra practise. And.. something more beneficial than just posting random pictures on the internet i guess.

i like thrillers and horror-genre games a lot. Not really fantasy. x_x

P.S: Hopefully this is in the right place."

I would like a manga set of playing cards. Just, you know, the Jacks to king as manga images, and maybe a back for them.

i was kind of hoping on joining a team to work with though. Not really requests..
But i guess i could try doing them. i didn't post any samples anyway.

Not sure how the backs will turn out and how large you want them, but i can probably show you a rough in a few hours.

Edit: here, i drew the base of the cards' figures. Take a look and tell me what you think?

Ten years between them and I could not help giggle...

Hello erm whatever your name is... welcome to the forum we hope you have a pleasant stay and can see past our quirky speech disorders (lmao you know what I mean) anyway...

It may help to show some of your talent?

Use something like dropbox or that silly flikr thing and use the image link here above the edit box and link directly to the image simple really...

Then I will see what you can do

I have characters in mind... male and female... can you also let us know of your colour pallate? some Manga artists like doing Dawn style images over Dusk etc...

So looking forward to your samples

I like them. I hope you are happy to make 4 of each for the suits. But they look like a good way to show your talents anyway. Very nice!

@Valente: You can call me A.M lol. : p and it's ok, i can be pretty disorderly too.. XD at least it's fun (!)

This is an advert i made for a contest in 5 days. It's kinda bad, but it shows the 'traditional anime feel'.

Please tell me if you have a team or something.. sorry. :'D
And i think my palette is mostly dark.

@Pincho: Thanks! 'u' And well... 16 cards is kind of a lot. o_o Would copy and paste work?

Thanks a lot lol
And yeah, 1/2 is the name. i couldn't think of anything better and i was kind of tired... XD

i'll check the e-mail too, thanks. And thank you again for the offer too, i am a real noooob..

No, i don't have a website though. i just kind of draw them, i guess since i was 4 or something like that... i started using photoshop in Gr.7 and Sai in Gr.10. i hope that answers the question.
i have a DA though yeah, but i'm very new there too and don't really use it." Thanks again for the positive comments. i was very nervous about joining here. ><

Yes, nice art. I would prefer to have light eyes rather than dark eyes. Something looks wrong about the brown in the eyes where it should be white.

Some incredible work there xamxam, with skills like that you'll fit in here perfectly!
I especially like the fishing cat girl.

Senior Valentine, I believe DA is deviantart?

xamxam, those are extremely nice images. Great use of colors. I do, however, have to agree with Pincho Paxton. The eyes should be lighter.

Nice work, A.M!

I'm working on a non-traditional RPG for PC (And will later be ported to XNA for XBox 360)... I'm still tweaking the engine right now, but once that's done our team could use a 2D character illustrator/designer! I'll contact you when the storyboard has been completely drafted up.

You should set up a site... Google.com/sites is a good way to go, it's kinda limited, but it's free and easy to use. Cheers!
