Description
Hi there folks! How are you doing?I've had some cool days here, since the internet have been failing these days, I've been out playing plasket ball, and I'm taking my time do some cool art.
I saw some cool movie that I've heard a lot but I haven't had the chance to see. One example was district 9, it was a very reflexive and interesting movie, and I specially liked the concept of the aliens.
So I was doodling random stuff this week taking a time to doodle random stuff. And some of these random stuff that I did came out cool, so seeing the scribbles I thought it was time to do something like a "Reference sheet" or something for J with these sketches. Donc voilá!
It's funny, I wanted it come out like this or this Even if I this didn't came out as elegant and cool as I imagined in my mind that it was going to look, I think it serves pretty well as a reference sheet. I wanted to post the day I did it that was on may 8, but I couldn't load it, so that's why I post it today. I hope you like it!
I hope that the letters are visible, I didn't added the kind of stuff like "eye color" "hair color" because...sincerely I think that's ridiculous when talking about a reference sheet drawing!
The stuff it's written in french because well, the character it's french, so I thought doing this would give the drawing more "environment". If someone of you folks are french or know french even if you're not french, I would like that you tell me if what I wrote its well writing please.
it says:
ocupation: Agent of intervention in micro-computer equipment.*
Host of the documentary show "traveling with chip and jean"
Main personality features: timid, reserved, curious, courteous, gentle and helpful.
Hobbies: Playing ocarina and ukulele, photography, fishing, snorkeling and diving, doing graphic art, watching retro cartoons and series.
Age: 22 years old.
There's some curious facts about this drawing and character:
1-- One it's that the career it's originally in french, not in english, so in this case I put * because the English one might be bad translated. So if you know how if it's good or bad translated, please let me know.
2-- I wrote "main traits of personality" instead of "Personality" cos people's personality it's not only a couple of traits, but various, human beings are complicated! So I never have got to understand why when presenting characters, people go and say "personality" and only post 3 things
3-- that this character, as well as his best friend Chip, they will always have part of a real person's personality, and tastes. One person who was here when I was designing this character. Even if this person isn't here anymore, cos I always remember the ones who I meet and consider my friends, even the ones who gone and don't remember me.
4-- I was planning that maybe he was going to live in Port de Bouc, because I wanted a place who cas little, quiet, and near to the sea (so yes that's why he loved things that had to do with the sea) and I liked that one
By the way, the sketch of Jean with sport outfit it's him playing pong, cos he and his mom love pong.

What I like the most is that you gave a lot of details about him ! And also, he seems to be metis but yet his skin is very fair
fr : Ce que je préfère ce que tu aies donné beaucoup de détails sur lui Et aussi, il a l'air d'être métis mais pourtant il a la peau blanche

Guau merci pour le commentaire! C'est un grand honneur voir ton commentaire et "fave", que tu aimes ce personnage me rend si heureuse!
Et merci pour ecrire en français et en anglais
Cela me done une idee de comment dire les phrases parfois.
.... mmhh mais ça ne me dérangerait pas si tu ecris seulement en français Si c'est plus facile pour toi, je dirais que dans les deux formes c'est ok pour moi, mais tu sais que je pefere le français le plus
Ah oui et la tonicité de la peau, ça doit être mon ordi! Il est supposé que la peau allait être un peu plus blanc, mais j'ai un nouvel ordinateur avec d'autres teintes de couleurs dans l'écran, donc les choses ici ressemble beaucoup plus brillante que dans l'ancien ordinateur que j'ai utilisé. Je suis encore à m'habituer á ce nouvel ordi
Oh d'allieurs, j'espère que les mots du pic sont bien écrits et ils ne sonnent pas bizarre, si tu peux me dire ça, ça va être super.

Non justement, sa peau est claire mais ses traits de visages ont l'air métissés ^^ Mais c'est très original.

Merci vraiment!!!
Parfois je sens que je n'ai pas assez de mots pour exprimer comment J'apprecie cette aide, mais je l'apprecie de tout mon coeur!
Dans ce moment je suis Je suis à l'écoute de cette chanson en espagnol du Mexique www.youtube.com/watch?v=J26MOr… je pense que c'est la meilleure version, avec la version française chantée par Claire Guyot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnVlFN…
Je les partage parce que cette chanson est incroyable, je pense que tu l'aimerais ^^
Et c'est incroyable ce que j'ai réalisé quand j'écoutais la chanson dans la version française, tandis que j'écrivais ce commentaire ; que je comprends les paroles amie!
La plupart de phrases au moins
Hehee, cela se sent incroyable!
C'est comme découvrir que vous avez un sixième sens et que vous apprenez à l'utiliser!
C'est drole que je sais ce que dit la chanson en français, je sais ce que cela signifie, mais je ne suis pas sûr de la façon d'écrire la plupart des mots
Bien que...Je suis plus ou moins sûr de cette partie:
"tout ce que nos séparé
ne s'expliquerait jamais
accepte moi comme je suis, et ne me juge pas
accepte moi, sois mon ami
et ouvre moi tes bras
Harmonie, Harmonie
c'est toi c'est moi, mais pourquoi pas
tous vivre en harmonie"
Dites moi si c'est ok!!!
Mais ne me dites pas la chanson complete, juste si c'est ok ce que j'ai écrit ici. Je ne vais pas chercher pour les paroles, avant je vais essayer d'écouter la chanson quelques fois plus, á voir ce que je peux comprendre par moi-même

thanks a lot! ^__^
I'm glad you like this, although that I cannot take all the credit, cos I used a tutorial to do the human figuras and lots of reference poses. I think I'm getting better
By the way, I think it's true this what you said some time ago about that it was weird that people did dolls for girls that go to the bathroom It was clever, and also a funny comment because it's true, why a girl would want a doll that goes to the bathroom??!
I remember that when I was little I found that so weird and I never wanted a doll like that

Of course you can take the credit silly *CHUCKLES*
learning is an important and amazing skill :3 and the fact you are still learning shows that you have a wonderful drive for improvement, something many people do not have you shouldb e so proud of yourself.
and what prompted that XD *CHUCKLES* I dont know why anyone ever thought a doll like that would be... desireable in any way XD

thanks the feedback, it's greatly appreciated!
....although...I used a base, and a lot of references
That's something I rarely do of course, because I think that feels a bit like it's a trick (the base part I mean) but I was having a lot of trouble with the whole body pic at the end
So, yeah that makes out of me a part of the credit and I must accept it, with honor
Although that was just a skeleton so I did most of the part on that drawing
And about "what prompted that", well...nothing in particular
I just reminded your comment and I told it was clever, so I wanted to do a bit of conversation about it ^^
cos the human I am in these moments can't do much, I still feel nervious to talk to people, so this is all I can give for the moment, because I feel like if I talk more, I'll just make a fool of myself

awwwwwwwww dont worryou, you will get it... I know you will :3 I have faith in you
awwwwwwwwwww, hehehhe you are so unbelivably cute you know that XD you being all sorts of nervous is just making me want to hug you :3
you know what the weirdest thing about most girls toys is... is that they are only fun for like... two seconds at best?!?! there is no action, or adventure, or any sense of continuity... a Dolls main function seems to just "be a doll" and sure you can dress it up...
BUT WHY.. .tehre is no "why" of it... like, what does barbie need a space suit for... is she going to fight space monsters XD if so, why doenst she have a laser gun, and why arent they selling enemies for her to fight XD barbie has no reason for dressing up... at all.
and doll outfits are so bland, its not like you can just use your imagination to make something exciting its like.... its almost as bad as trying to play dolls with celery sticks at times.
I think even little girls hate little girl toys... because I have never seen a little get get enthusiastic about ANY of their toys.

Awwwwwwww thanks!
I think you're right, I even if I used references and stuff, I did the job at the end, so I think that I should take the credit
Plus the artist's drawings I took reference of for male anatomy, most of them were really bad! They did this what you mentioned a couple of days ago, they only inflate the muscles like if they were ballons
And there is other weird thing that most of male artist do to men, they make shoulders the upper par super huge, and the lower part super tin That's something that always have bothered me of men cartoon drawings, it's a sad thing cos that doesn't attract women, and later men (specially young men) don't know that looking like overly ripped is not important to attract girls, and that actually that doesn't attract girls but rather freak them out
So that's why when I draw guys I always try to do them the most natural possible, cos I think women need to see a normal looking man as role-model of men, and men need to know that the standard of male anatomy that lots of people have in the media are unreal and ridiculous , so they don't feel bad with themselves!
Oh my! And you're right about toys for girls! Yes there's no action or adventure or even sense of continuity!
Hehe, sometimes I wish they would give barbie an space suit and some monsters to fight of *chuckles*, if they did when I was a kid, I bet I would have bought it!
Also you're right about that, you can't use your imagination to make something exciting with girl's toys
These are the reason why I never felt really attracted to girl's toys, not even as a little kid; when I was little my parents bought me these cos they thought "it was what girls should play" so I had barbies, but I don't have any memories of them being cool or amazing or even fun for something. I think even as a girl I hated girl's toys! I always felt they were rather trivial and hollow. Even if when I was little I wasn't sure how to express why exactly, now I am a grown up I know.
I think that's presicely why the memories of my childhood's good moments playing toys were about lego and about some plush toys, also about a little keyboard, my chemistry kit for kids, and machine to do cookies, and set I got to make plasticine figures. But nothing about barbies
Except for the times when I made outfits for them and turned some of them a council of wise people, and invented a sci-fi story that I played with my siblings *chuckles* With dinosaurs and other random toys that my silbings had and we imagined that they were aliens That was really fun ^^
When I was a kid, my mom used to make me outfits for my toys cos the ones they had, I found them boring. And later when she taught me to sew I used to do them. So I sure I know what you mean when you say their outfits are bland

Motion-Music In reply to Atrixfromice [2014-05-13 17:15:29 +0000 UTC]
*CHCUKLES* I love all you just said about your experience with girls toys, and i love that you had to bring dinosaurs and other toys to make barbies exciting, even her own outfits werent good enough to make her exciting XD
Also here is the thing that really bothered me, try to follow... every new barbie outfit, comes with a barbie doll... and little girls end up with way to many virtually identical dolls, just for the sake of getting new outfits, now you would think it would be cheaper for the company to just sell a blank barbie doll, and to sell the outfits individually and independently from the plastic nightmare that is barbie.
but no they did.
So wait, you got a set to make plastic figurines with a little cooking machine.... were they creepy crawlers XD I have a creepy crawlers set when I was a kid... not many good memories of it though, that was at the height of my power rangers craze so everything is a blur of power rangers at that point XD
and more about the sense of continuity.... other than being "pretty" what is Barbie... what does she do for a living, i know there is vet barbie, astronaut barbie, doctor barbie, fast food barbie, mechanic barbie, secretary barbie... so many that they had to make a page about it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie%2…
so... what the heck XD this gives me the impression that barbie is such an annoying person that she couldnt keep a job even if she tried XD
