Behold, for I have crapped on my canvas.

Like the title says  X)  Thought I'd post some of my older artworks here.

Pretty old sketch I did of a Mega Man character known as Bass.EXE:

your two graphite works could use some stronger outlines around shapes to define volume and form. otherwise they're great. i have heard of project gakuen before..
the photoshop piece is good, i think the background is competing with the figures we should be focusing on though.

[ProjectAccord]

Thanks.  Yeah now that I look at it I see that too, that a lot of the shapes aren't that visible...I'll have to accent my shadows a little darker next time  

I also admit to going overboard all over that digital work.  XD  I didn't try to have a visual focus on any characters but drawing the image with more focus on one part rather than none at all definitely sounds better.  Thanks again for the input.

[ProjectAccord]

Thanks athing!  The first two I did with mechanical pencil, I have nothing else in the house and my charcoal was ground down to nothing.  XD  The third I did on Photoshop using standard brushes...I'm no good at using filters yet  :I cry:

[rtil]

Personally I would avoid filters. Expirement with some of the other brushes like the oils and watercolors.

I fucking LOVE the expresion on the Project Gakuen one^^

[ProjectAccord]

Thanks Cupz.  Ya, I used a picture of the musician Richard D. James as a reference...on one of his albums he's got this freakin' INSANE grin that I really had to struggle to capture correctly.  XD

rtil, I do have previous experience using some filters, and yeah in retrospect I do see what you mean about avoiding them.  Tried it in the past and they didn't really fit in with my art style.  Although there were a notable few that turned out pretty good.  XD  Thanks again for the advice.

Here's a very recent pic I did where there's like, no focus at all.  It IS a group pic after all XD  Anyhoo, this is a pic done where I'm still kind of new at textures like metal and dirt and water and the like.

haha, these are sheezyart people. i can recognize some faces. as we fade into the BG i'd make everything less saturated (easy to do with hue/saturation layer and tamper with the mask), to get that haze as we enter the background. otherwise with everything the same saturation i get no sense of depth.

also, the sand castles deserve outlines since everything else has them. just tone them down or make them a darker color of the sand. also thinner.

[ProjectAccord]

Thanks again rtil.  Masks and saturation huh?  Sounds pretty interesting, I've never worked with those before.  I'll definitely give them a try in my next pic though.

Another more recent pic I did for a friend, featuring a Mega Man character as a cat.  I tried defining the edges a little more but I'm not quite sure if I did it right...



So what do you guys think?
