Moogle's Noodles

[Moogle]

Heya!

Been slackin' a bit on my request thread, so thought I'd make this sketchbook to keep me busy with the arts. Here's some noodlings.  

Oldies:

Fav gesture!






Newies:








Doodle page of random mixups!




Thanks for peeking, gonna really try to keep this updated.

[Socketosis]

If these are just doodles, then your non-doodly art must be mind blowing.

[Moogle]

@Socketosis Ah I only wish, haha - thank you though! I say doodles, but some of these took quite a bit longer than others (like that anthro wolf) so I guess it'd count more as an inked piece (albeit a messy one).   As far as non-doodly art goes, I don't think I've really done many. These oldy-pants portraits come to mind, but I ended up bailing on them once I saw mistakes!

Also, here's a bird. :3 Umbra's character got me in the mood for attempting one!

[KittenAdmin]

You're very good :3

[Socketosis]

I don't, sorry. But I'll be uploading everything I like onto this topic, so it'll kinda be similar to a gallery.
Really appreciate your interest btw, Socket! You're such a sweetheart. -hugs- :3

You've got mad skills.

You need to do a table at a con. 

[Moogle]

Practicing clean lines again on the top right, gradually went into messy mode though.


A section from a bigger wip piece, seems to work ok as a standalone for now.

hi furriend, you think I'd stoop so low as to draw something like that?! (Bonus: done fully left handed to add to the authenticity of it)

Thanks Buck (& ty again for the info on discord too)! If I can get enough artwork done that I like, I think I'll definitely attend one. Furnal Equinox is the plan w/ Pignog

So hype!

Gotta do a con table. It's meant to be!

[Socketosis]

By any chance do you do graphic design for a living? Concept art? This looks like stuff you'd see from a professional.

Genuinely curious, not trying to be a butt kisser!

[Moogle]

@Socketosis What a compliment!  I don't see that as butt kissin' so no worries, it's rather flattering actually. Art is something I'm just doing on the side atm. It'd be great to get into an animation studio one day (or even conceptual art), however I think I'm not disciplined enough for that.

Oh nice! Well, if you think you need to improve, there's some forums I've been told about a while back that are really good (and really brut-...er, thorough) at offering critique. You might've heard of them before?

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/

I'm not sure if the community has changed any, but could be worth a shot.

[Caledonian]

Moogle is an amazing artist

[Antumbra]

I have finally found where you keep your art.  Prepare to have it oogled, Moogle!

Oh definitely! There's always room for improvement, especially when I'm still not at a point where I can comfortably draw people with ease. I've heard of conceptart before, but I appreciate the reminder of it.  When I get back into art hardcore again I'll for sure be joining that forum. Brutal or not, there's superb artists there and I'd love for them to rip me a new one.

YOU'VE RETURNED, ANTUMBRAAA! You're lucky I'm not on my computer or I'd throw so many cutesy anime emotes at you, mwaha!  I think a certain dragon should create a sketchbook thread too, so I can follow their work CLOSELY! Oogle it all up, buttercup~ <3

 

& thanks Caledonian! You're super sweet :3

 

[Moogle]

Some sketches from a stream last week, & fan art. Also for those who were on Discord at time, thank you again for the feedback/critique on the animated character's design! I decided on a rehaul since the look was still weird to me, and am happy with the outcome now. 

 

Listening to this on repeat, got a bg done.

Here's the new look:

Was really debating on uploading this since it's my first animation in a longgggg while (older one for comparison), but even though it didn't turn out as planned I'm still a bit glad to have completed something. 

 

[Sarcastic Coffeecup]

Such a wonderful style you have

[Moogle]

I managed some art yesterday and today, some of these are a few months old though (gotta get that filler in!). One's actually half a year old but I like it so it's being added. ;D @Augmented Husky POSTED YER GUY! Hope that's alright, lemme know if you don't want him shown.










Nudey butt

[Moogle]

@Rhíulchabán I do adore cutie-patoo things, but I've definitely been trying to branch out from only that which makes me extremely happy to hear that there's a bit of depth to them. I'm no stranger to making lame 2d pics for the cuteness factor alone however, mwaha! This moogle appreciates your kindness, Mr.Chocobo <3

I am genuinely impressed with all the art that you have posted. 👌

[Moogle]

Time to get this ball rollin' again - practicing colour & cleaner lines (think clicking image will make it bigger, can't remember).

That little fuzzy whatever in the top-right is precious

[Moogle]

@FenrirDarkWolf Thanks Fen! I'm not really sure what it is either, but I think 'little fuzzy whatever' is a good name for the chubby guy, bwaha. Rodent family, most definitely.  

[QT Melon]

Moogle! Nice to see you. Love your linework. I'm envious. I have horrible line economy. Very good work on that last set, I like the crazy croc type monster at the bottom

[Umbra.Exe]

Nice to see you posting again, Moogle! Those drawings all look great! I particularly like the head in the upper-left corner, as well as the figures.

[Moogle]

@QT Melon  Heya QT, likewise!  Gosh, thanks so much. That croc was pretty fun to work with, it's one of those drawings where you just go totally mindless on and then 'bam!', random noodle created. 

 

Also seriously, I'm super glad to see you on these forums. I went searching for your work multiple times in the past and couldn't find a place where you posted regularely (or even recently). I've seen you mention about a sort of injury though (correct me if I'm wrong, and sorry if I'm way off the mark), so I guess that might have been why. I hope you're doing alright now however, or at the very least recovering.

 

@Umbra.Exe  UMBRA! Mwaha, thanks kindly. That girl took awhile to do, I think mostly cause I still don't understand colour very well so a lot of it is guess work and going over it again and again. However I'm pretty content with the outcome. Definitely more figures to come (& hopefully with a bit more action to 'em), gotta get back into that groove!

Yes, I have RSI, it affects me the most when drawing, I had been trying to break drawing habits that are attributing to it but limited success. I have started working on 3D now and something about it feels less taxing. It helps my illustrations so it can't be all bad.

I have other personal matters I attend to but I don't need to dump my sob story on your thread.

I'm happy to see you posting again. If you're still having issues with color work, I did post a cgcookie post about color shifting that has been rather helpful. I believe in Toshabi's sketchbook.

[Moogle]

New stuff mixed with some older sketches, also gonna attempt on making a proper clean ref for my char.

[QT Melon]

I'm envious of your line economy. GiB.

[Mandragoras]

Holy cow, that linework.

[Moogle]

Thank you both! Having clean linework has always been a goal for me ever since I switched from traditional to digital. Think I'm at a point to where I'm very comfortable doing it, to where it's the same as sketchwork for me now.

Not much in the way of uploads, I'm actually doing some shameless advertising! I've made a twitter and am doing a daily doodle type of thing on it to improve (as well as motivate myself). Just thought if anyone's interested from this thread, and would like to follow along with my little challenge, that'd be pretty sweet (& much appreciated!). Here's my twitter! https://twitter.com/Moogiekins

Day 2



Day 4



 

As well, here's a few random doodles from Nyanchat sessions with @Antumbra . There's quite a few! Definitely looking for more people to draw with, I think it'd be a wicked way to meet others and learn from a buncha sources of all different skill levels. So if you're interested, shoot me a pm! We use discord, talking isn't a requirement of course but totally makes it loads more fun (18+ to be safe).
