Welcome to

Riku's Gallery

I deleted all old stuff, because the links were mostly dead anyway.
I'll try to keep updating from now on every once in a while.

Zero replies??! What are those characters in the sketches? Where do you get your inspiration, and how long do you usually need for a sketch like that?

I really like them, very creative! Did you ever finalized one, i.e. until the coloring?

Are you mocking me for most of the links apparently being dead? (Atleast I don't see the pics anymore)

But mostly I am inspired by stuff that has been on my mind and radar lately. Whaever I'm reading, watching, what happening in my life and so on. Depends a lot, but mostly those sketches take something between 10-30 minutes. I'm really lazy to finalize or even color anything.

But thanks mate, good to know my gallery ain't dead yet

This section needs more love. I experienced even on smaller boards way more activity and communal support between the artists.

I actually saw two of the three linked instagram pics, just the bottom one seems not to be showing, for whatever reason. Also I'm wondering what you wrote under them, bit lazy to translate from Finnish.

You're damn right
*brings love*


Now, let's talk seriously
You works are awesome
How do you do the posters? It looks like they're the real ones
Also, do you have a link for the Avatars/Sigs ? i can't see them
Finally, how did you do this guy?

That's true. Maybe I should update this again some day soon. I'd translate all those, if I could see the pics myself

Thank you.

The posters are a real deal, for finnish short films. The Elinehdot one was done mainly compiling and editing free clipart found online. For Noidantuli I got a selection of photos from the director, picked the one I liked the best and Photoshopped the hell out of it to give it the genuine film poster look. Adjusted levels, colors, contrast brigthness and used masks to keep the changes on certain areas. The background was done by compiling a couple of free textures found online.

The password for the Avas/sigs seems to be 'mangahelpers'

Potter arf is an old joke from Fun Forum. The base smiley was used a lot in there, and I started to do personalized versions of it for people. Used just Paint to add thing to it or change the hue.

Revival! Gimme those Artboard points @Kiki

I was doing some file clean up, and decided to make a compilation of avatars I've made for myself or friends at MH. #ustegiusformostfashionablemember2021

 

[Kiki]

point given

those are so nice! I love it when everyone dresses up and is being fashionable. it's very pleasing to my eyes ^^

I also still save my old avatars and signatures in my laptop. might copy you

Can I request one or just choose from those above?

I can make you set if you want one for real. I don't have any good art in my pocket right now though. Any theme/series reguests?

A Katakuri set? One showcasing his tattoo, if we're gonna be specific. Does that work?

 

[Riku]

I'll see what I find.

I was bored during lunch, so here is a quickie Hisoka. Not the most unique of concepts for him, but was surprisingly tricky to pull off.

The image uploader seem to be broken. I'll try again later.

 

[Mazino]

Since @scav is such a bully, do you have time to quickly patch me up with a cute Blue set for the Top 10 grand finale this weekend? No biggie if not.

I can do it. I actually might even have the materials ready, since I googled quite a bunch of Sugimori stuff for my set.
