Sketch Ragadump Mk II: Naughties and suchlikes - Now with mechs!(and nudity)

**Ragathol** · March 24th, 2007, 01:38 PM

Oh my, my old sketchbook seem to have fallen over the end of the world.
A tragic loss indeed, but we move on. I have only myself to blame for being lazy and not updating. So, let's start anew without further ado, shall we?

Hm, looks like I've drawn a lot of nudes lately. Anatomy practice AND fanart at the same time? Delicious! Happy plastic - it's fantastic!

**Ragathol** · March 24th, 2007, 01:49 PM

Moar!

**Ragathol** · March 24th, 2007, 02:01 PM

And some in color.
The TANKS stuff is from my upcoming comic book, being released in Sweden april 15! First book of two.

Some pages from my comic book:

**Ragathol** · March 25th, 2007, 09:25 PM

Just-before-bedtime drawing... Again, Urd from Oh My Goddess.

**Ragathol** · March 26th, 2007, 05:17 PM

More goddess goodness!

"Skuld" in modern Swedish means guilt, but that's not where her name is from, rather the old Icelandic word for "necessity", *skola*. "Skola" in older Swedish is also "shall". She can stand for the future, but that is probably a newer christian idea. Nevertheless, it fits with her position in the manga.

**Ragathol** · March 27th, 2007, 12:49 AM

It's goddamn sevon o clock in the morning and I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd sketch a little.

Big bad battle mech booyah! I really like how this one came out. Heavily inspired by Warmachine, of course.

**Gunther409** · March 27th, 2007, 02:36 AM

All your lines look so clean, it's amazing. Are you using a program or is this pen&paper?

**TheBeast** · March 27th, 2007, 03:06 AM

Muhaha! a Hourus rising manga-interpretation, could i send this one to my gamegroup please?! its so cool^^ *rofl*

i like yah lineart, nice work! please do some more color-works soon, you have a good understanding of propotions and anatomy, the manga style is a easy way to work it out. ever think about gettin more realistic whit ya style? i think it would fit nicely to your great lineworks here and show more of your true potenzial.

keep them commin!

Gunther: Thanks :3 It's all pen (or pencil) and paper, except for the paintchat doodles, of course.

TheBeast: I don't really know what you're referring to, but sure

Thanks for your comment, a few more color works are underway. I go a little more realistic sometimes, but I prefer to work on my cartoon style. I would need to practice more anatomy, faces etc though.

New one: The last was the big bad mech, here's the big good mech.

Also, I found out that my last thread wasn't gone after all... no use bumping it now, but if you want to check out some earlier sketches, go here.

**Ragathol** · March 28th, 2007, 08:48 PM

Some little pieces made for the 4chan/tg/ channel.

**DARAF** · March 29th, 2007, 06:38 PM

I like the comic book pages alot. nice layout and clear storytelling. Keep at it.

**Ragathol** · August 14th, 2007, 05:28 PM

Whoa, it's been ages! Time for a timely bump and a lot of new stuff.
Some more various girls and whatnot.

**Ragathol** · August 14th, 2007, 05:32 PM

And some more

**Inkjexion** · August 14th, 2007, 08:28 PM

looking at your page makes me wanna study manga style drawing, keep it up!

**Smoke** · August 14th, 2007, 11:49 PM

Loving the Horus Heresy reference

**Compact Disaster** · August 15th, 2007, 05:35 AM

Very nice clean work you have produced here........you seem to favour the shojo and josei manga styles.
Ever tried doing different manga styles or even combining styles??
for example :- in Get Backers they combined Shonen with the comical tare look from time to time.

**Ragathol** · August 15th, 2007, 05:49 PM

Inkjexion, Smokey: Thank you very much! :o

Compact Disaster: Yeah, those recent things are pretty much in the same style.. I'm trying different stuff from time to time though, but I could do it more.

**Ragathol** · August 18th, 2007, 05:53 PM

More stuff!

**Wilhelm87** · August 18th, 2007, 06:48 PM

Great stuff, nothing to crit really. Keep it up!

Oh and your webcomic was a really nice read to, the story was really entertaining (though I haven't finished it yet).

**Ragathol** · August 19th, 2007, 03:05 PM

Thanks! Well, I'm not finished with it either...

I was inspired to practice painting faces by another thread here, and I tried to find a reference pic with some interesting lighting... So I ended up with this African man, involved in a voodoo ritual. Painter 9, about 1 hour+.
I don't really like to work with painter, but I have to tame that beast one day. Especially since after I was about halfway done, it decided to reverse the color picker, so it only picked up as background color... Highly annoying to have to switch over every time I changed color. Also, I got some scratches and stuff that couldn't be erased or painted over. What's up with that?
Anyway, voodoo man. I'll do some more face studies later.

**kaktuzlime** · August 20th, 2007, 05:18 PM

Nice face study m8. And interesting designs in general! I´ll be seeing ya at sketchgroup, or are you living la vida loca in Stockholm?

**Ragathol** · August 22nd, 2007, 07:18 PM

Heya man, thanks! Yeah, I've moved to Stockholm for good(for now) now, so no more Skövde for me...
I'll check your stuff out though.

No more face studies yet, but some color girlies. And smut!

**Camara** · August 22nd, 2007, 08:07 PM

This is a great SB!I am not a big fan of manga style but I like your work,is very funny and is clear that you enjoy a lot drawing.Those mechs are great.Color them!!!

Good work!

**Andrew_ak-47** · August 23rd, 2007, 01:10 AM

**Mr.Delicious** · August 23rd, 2007, 01:19 AM

very nice comic work, good story telling and nice flow. The angles could get more interesting as well as lighting but its good for your style. I like the coloring job you did on your maid character and also the very nice start you had on this one:
