[psi43]

I was kind of posting my art to get criticism and what you, squeef and jseed do isn't helping me at all.

[GRINACE]

ok, this time no reference used.

The folds look very akward But still is nice, Right now If i were ou I woulndt worry about folds on clothes just yet.

i know that cartoon characters don't have to be anatomically correct exactly, but i think you need to work a little more on your proportions. when hands hang down at the side of the body, they usually reach the middle of the thigh. so make them longer. i can't see how long the legs are, but you might need to make them longer too

[psi43]

thanks for the advice, will try to keep that in mind

also, I used photoshop a little and played around with it, this is the result:



it's only a few gay brushes I downloaded and blender options but who cares.

[Flash]

The blending is pretty cool.
Dude, my only advice is that you lay off the downloaded brushes. At first they might seen cool but they're worthless when it comes to the flow of the abstract effects, which makes any signature tags/LPs you attempt to make with it look like shit because the effects are spread around following no general direction. I'm not talking about this image, but if you ever decide to do something else with Photoshop in that style, my advice is that you use only standard brushes and try to lay off the downloaded resources. This comes from a guy who used to make tags and LPs. :b

[psi43]

but I don't know how to even create nice looking curvy lines like that in photoshop, unless I used the pen tool which would take hours.

also, forgot to post this:


I also made 2 other traditional drawings but I don't think they're good so I can't be assed to upload them yet.

What she said, work on your anatomy. Maybe try drawing basic stick men with circles as joints to help you plan before you start.
You also seem to have this stiff quality to your lines. It gives the impression that you're not confident when you draw. Just keep practicing I guess.

ok this might not be really art but I did something neat with flash cs4 (no other program was used ok!!)

[psi43]

btw very much inspired by rtil's metal gear funnies part

[Crabarms]

Cool looking.
There's a red line after you watch it for a while.
But still pretty amusing to watch.


Your photo shop designs look swell.

[psi43]

the red line is there to cover up some gay green thing there way. It was there because flash has weird bugs.

[Crabarms]

ah.

[shura]

cool, how did you do it?

[psi43]

kind of hard to explain. I used a gradient on the background then drew something in yellow on a layer above, turned the yellow thing into a movie clip, set it to be an overlay and added a blur filter.

This was the beginning if you wanted me to write down every step it would probably be a pretty long post sorry!

here's something ELSE I made with actual animation (wow!!)

looks cool yo
keep that groove up, too B]

oh so what you're sayin is cs4 has nothin to do with it, you could technically make that effect in flash 8

Technically I could. It has the same functions, yeah. It would take longer because at one point, I used the spray paint brush to save time (for the dots in the background). That would take a little longer with flash 8 but yeah, it's doable.

If you meant earlier versions (cause flash 8 had filters and blenders already) then PROBABLY no. Would take a lot of trial and error.
