I suppose I should posit the question again:  Is this your very first go with acrylics, or have you had experience with it in the past?  

If the the former, then I'd like to see how you progress after becoming a little more comfortable and experienced with the medium.

I wouldn't call it a "mess" since you have a knack for capturing general form and lighting well in your characters despite the medium used.  However, based on just these two pictures (and the disclaimer that I have never handled acrylics even once) it does seem like the richer color and extra photorealism is a trade-off for the clarity and finesse of the watercolor images.

On the other hand, maybe another question I should be asking is which medium is  faster to work with so far?

Not really, used some acrylics in school for few paintings in school, but that was 2years ago.

On the other hand, maybe another question I should be asking is which medium is  faster to work with so far?

Took me about 4hours to do that second thing.
Both mediums are equally slow, acrylics have the advantage of better control of the paint, still it can be thinned with water like watercolors.
Good/bad side of the acrylics are that when it's dry, it cannot be used anymore, same goes with the paint you got on your palette, means that you got to choose your colors wisely.
Acrylics are much thicker when used straight from the tube, brushes tend to take damage from "hard brushwork".

Mixing colors is still something I've not practiced enough.

Once again bumping this thread...

A fast one. Had the idea of doing something like this the previous week, and I managed to finish it in time despite all the work I had to do (And still have to do...).

coolz!
:3

I don't think I've seen this thread in a while...
Then again, I haven't really posted much, huh?

She seems... loli-er younger than your last one. ^^
As for crits, nothing I can point out right off the bat, but the lower body seems off to me.  Can't say exactly why, sorry. ^^;

Dos.... that was... random. XD;;

I do have a paper to start and finish tonight, so I shall excuse myself now.

[VonDaab]

Haha, sweet.
Not at all Kagami influenced no?

Torso might be a bit short.
Still, verry nice.

Well, yeah. She's supposed to be loli,  but I just couldn't make her more flat than this.
K, tried to fix hips.

Edited version:


Now with a longer torso, smaller hips (I tried...) and without silly background. All I can say about the background is this: Midnight and sleep deprived D:

[VonDaab]

I liked the pink BG.

BWAHAHA!!!  Well who can say 'no' to a face like that?  (and accompanied by free mystery treats at that).  ^^

Thanks, that's looking very good, although I second VonDaab on the exclusion of the pink background.  It takes too much away, especially that interesting 3D look.  -v-

YOU LIE THEY NNNOOO COOKIES so made some try than

No mystery in these though........ except in that one with swirls on it.  ^^;

And is that milk REALLY fresh?  Been sitting there since yesterday.  ^u^;

[Bella]

Aw, tsundere Vistan!

Good job Darknight! Hope we see some more of your work soon...I think you still owe the Captain a sisterly love picture

And we need to see your rendition of Tiger-tan

[Darknight_88]

Oh well, due to popular demand the silly pink background is back D:

oh noes >_>
Nevar!

On the other hand...

I do have planned drawing a ChiiVistan at some point.

Maybe after I see this. But I'm sure he wont, so its a moot point...

Yeah.......  please do, DOS-chan.  I want to live to see tomorrow.. ^.^

*pats DOS on head*

Maybe after I see this. But I'm sure he wont, so its a moot point...

Oh don't be so sure,... after all, it could be for a disparaging cameo afterall.  `v'

But not to worry, as it's not.  ^^

Now I said earlier that I may not be able to do it due to the dawning of my semi-retirement.  However,... I think you underestimate my interest in drawing my Chiivistan pic, if only because of two reasons:

1)  It's mainly to showcase EeePC-tan, Cloudbook-tan, Classmate-tan and OLPC-tan.

2)  It's.... how shall I say this,.... well,...... hmmm..... to the kind of..... person of my.......... special interests............. the pic............... is something akin............ to...... um........... *cough cough* erotica *cough hack cough*.  ^o^;

So i guess if I have the right push.... AND I treat myself to turning up the "heat" a little........... then yeah, I would love to draw it.  ^______________^

*lecherous grin*
