Home Made BISHIES :3 Girls only!

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]Awesome job, Shao! I really love the creative character you create. I mean they can be part dragon or something and you still make them look like cute bishies! I really like the colors you used, and I love that his chest looks like he's wearing armor. Awesome job, and a great way to kick off the New Year of 2008!

Thanks, I made him for a role play XD Kinda has a scaly rat tail... heh

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]Hey guys,
well here's another Bishie to kick off the new year. His name is Black Ice and he is related to the character Snow I posted here not to long ago.
I'm not sure what his story is but I think he's serious and brooding.

[color="RoyalBlue"]Hi All!

I felt I should post this for the benefit of the longevity of this thread:[/color]

With the gallery system, the ongoing art contest and the increasingly popular bishoujo/bishounen picture threads, it has come to the staff's attention that some outlines for what is and is not acceptable to post as pictures need to be laid down. We are doing this for a number of reasons: to more perfectly serve the Lord, to set the bar for our community high, to be a good example to the outside world, and to protect the little eyes we have here. Paul commands us not to be stumbling blocks, and in the anime world that could easily apply to what we allow to be posted. Therefore:

- No nudity, period.
- If it a bikini/men's trunks cover it, it must be covered.
- This is a little harder to judge, but nothing excessively clingy or detailed.
- No clothes slipping off--bra straps, spaghetti straps, etc.
- No undergarments. No, swimsuits don't count for this rule.
- No openly suggestive or seductive poses.
- No overly-endowed women as far as it can be helped.
- If you're posting a pic of your favorite bishie, make sure his pants are zipped/buttoned.
- For pics of couples, their hands should not be found anywhere inappropriate.
- Speaking of couples, absolutely NO pictures promoting homosexual couples.

Now I realize these rules are a bit stringent for an anime board--after all, there are characters designed with less-than-conservative outfits, and that's ok, and we'll try to allow some leeway. If you have any questions or are unsure if your picture is ok to be posted, please PM a mod or an admin. We'll be happy to answer your questions and would appriciate the consideration.

If you post a picture in violation of these rules, you will be awarded a strike and/or other consequences.

[color="RoyalBlue"]
That being said, I say don't be afraid to post! Keep posting your bishie head shots, or full shots. If you're worried that he may cross a line then pm me and show me in advanced and we can work on something.

Remember this thread is about how well you design them and their clothes, it's about creativity, it's about artist's showing off their character creations and getting some critiques and encouragement along the way. So come on guys don't let this thread die!

I've been keeping an eye on it XD Just haven't drawn anything.

one question. Daisuke never wears a shirt. can he not be posted now? :[

[Raiden no Kishi]

I don't see anything in the rules that prohibits topless men. : : reaches for shirt : :

: : everyone glares at Rai : :

Okay, okay, I'm the exception . . .

.rai//

[minakichan]

Well, isn't that what "nudity" means? It doesn't say "toplessness is OK for women but not men."

Siiiiigh. I can't post like my one decent bishie pic, because it's topless and unbuttoned pants. what bad timing ^^;

Hm, so this means swimsuits are banned too.

[chibiphonebooth]

DAISUKEE YOU MIGHT NEED TO WEAR SHIRTS!! ;O;

Daisuke: >B[

Well men don't have... You know whats.

Hmm, I think what could help is to 1) examine the motivation of drawing the artpiece and 2) potential impact it may have to others.

What are your motivations in drawing a topless guy? It's one thing to admire the physical body of men but it's another to end up fantasizing about having sex. Admit it or not, many bishie pics are drawn for the sole purpose of fanning the lust of fellow fangirls all over the world. I'm guilty of all charges and therefore, make a conscious effort avoid drawing such bishies.

But if you feel your motivations are right, by all means, go ahead and draw but before posting, consider the next question.

How will my topless bishie impact others? If you suspect the images may effect other fellow christian fangirls (LOL) negatively, then don't. But if you're not sure where to draw the line, I suggest sharing the picture with a female mod or one of us first. We are here to guide each other.

but he just.. doesnt wear a shirt. not cause its sexual. just cause.. he doesnt. XD
that's just how he was created. :/

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]I heard that Bishies is Japanese for "beautiful men," and a man can be beautiful, fully clothed with long flowing hair and smile that melts your heart. *sighs*

Anymoo, I agree with Mave, please run it by me or one of the mods and we can see what we can do to get your picture seen.

Then, you're more pure than the average fangirl. Good for you! <-- (I mean it sincerely ^^)

Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying that topless in bishie world always has any sexual intentions. There's just a significantly higher tendency for it. If you're really not sure, just send it to good old Souba over here or a mod first. ^_^

Ok Mave, enough yakkity yak. Come back to this thread only when you have bishies to contribute!!! *chases herself out of the thread*

[Shao Feng-Li]

I think Chibi's Daisuke would be fine as long as he's wearing pants, according to the rules.

[chibiphonebooth]

ok good. XD

[silver_wolf454]

I've never found anything wrong with nudity in general the human body is beautiful in art, especily not a guy just with no shirt. >...>o *sighs* what evers.

Well Saiko doesn't own a shirt and he's a wolfy XD Here's a few of him and his kids. ^-^

The babys still need names if anyone wants to sugest ^-^

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]Awesome job Shao! Your work on the tablet looks really well done, and if it's any indicator of what's to come from you looks like we're gonna have a lot of bishies stopping by our thread!

Mave, I soo wanna to see more of you beautiful drawings! Pwease.

Wolf, thank you for the contribution, love the ears they looks so foxy, and I mean literally.

O.K. this guy is a Vex to his enemies, and exhibits great Valor to those he defends. So his name is Xalor, get it? This guy is inspired by the DMC4 Nero design, except he's waaay cooler.

Nyah! I love his evil smirk! ^o^

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]Hey all,
Just letting you know that a couple of Bishies I posted up are starring in their own manga series, called "Relic Hunters," you can see one of the chapters from it here
Please check it out and let me know what you think about it in this thread.

Aww, he's cute :3 And he likes kitties. Perfect.

Here's what I'm working on... This is gonna be a finished work. I hope. Tablets are a pain D:

[minakichan]

SAY NO TO KITTIES!

Heheh~ I took a look at that pic, saw the shape of the cross around the neck, and suddenly thought, "anony-chan as a guy?" (And Jiri as your cat.) I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM.

Duuuude you should get a tablet when you go to college. You'll probably need it =D

[Shao Feng-Li]

I've got a thing for cool face tattoo things XD

[Shao Feng-Li]

lol XD

I got my 9x12 Intuos2 for $250

[Shao Feng-Li]

[silver_wolf454]

Aww cute I like him ^-^

[minakichan]

I heart you anony-chan~ but somehow I think the shirt would be a little cruder if worn on a girl than on a guy XD; Because it can have a less suggestive meaning for a man?

I think it's very romantic~

[Sohma]

Aaww that is so sweet, Anonymous! And he's a cutie. ;P

[Souba]

[color="RoyalBlue"]Sorry guys been busy as of late. My comic book is literally weeks from publication so I've been busy taking pre orders, promoting, and plugging the comic everywhere! but wow what a treat to come back to!

Anom, I looove this guy, he's soo cute, and the kitty adds like another 100 percent cute factor to the piece!
The other one looks great! What is said on his shirt really caught me off guard, lol! Great job, are you planning on coloring it?

Shao looks like a great character, I can't wait to see the final piece! Yeah, and I love the tattoos/piercings on my characters too, at the very least an earring.

Now back to comic book plugging!
