a very rough sketch I did a while ago, practicing with stick-like figures. using something that looks like a ribcage and pelvis for a little help
A. some random heroic pose I did, and did the hair (sucks) and stick figure above it for fun (i got a little lazy with finishing it, though...)
B. sitting under maybe moonlight, practicing shading
C. using something like a over-the-shoulder perspective with a guy (shooting and missing) a person with a gun
D. osama teaching kids. nuff said
so far so good
[attachment=220:Sketches.png]
Looking good
C shows you have a grasp of the anatomy. as does B. with A, the full piece, just work some more on the upper body (the shoulder to upper arm join is too thin) and give him an ass. i always used to forget the ass too.

hey [rtil] how do I make a metallic texture for this one?
I'm using Photo-Paint 8
it's a pretty old program and I just found and installed it
you download photoshop
nice work btw
work on darkening and refining the linework
sketch dump is here
i was bored as hell at school (who isn't)
one of the drawings is kinda traced so sorry
EDIT, changed from bmp to png
i'm actually kinda new to how file types work to be honest
uh
file formats, my bad
WHY ARE THEY ALL BITMAPS
save as pngs if you want lossless formats
anyway
you're getting a better sense of form and depth
these are definitely an improvement

and thanks
here's another one ok
[attachment=547:xd.png]
She kind of has monkey lips/jaw. Try and work on how you space that part out. right now its super round and he has no chin.
yeaaah kinda noticed that, oopsies!
fixed it
[attachment=549:CCI00032.png]
nice. it looks alot better, but her jaw line is still to straigh and rides right up to her ear. check out a profile picture of somone, there jaw isn't this diagonal ruler line to the ear.
but you can def already see an improvement even with such a small change.
Yeah no doubt. 2nd pic looks about 10x better than the first one. Good job!
another sketch from being bored at school
Freetown-type character
i'll call him Derek!
[attachment=558:CCI00033.PNG]
ill let somebody else give you crits, im too confused on how to put it in words S:
Haha your latest is totally BADASS. Insanity limbs rule. Fuck standard perspective and proportions. Experiementing is awesome, to the max, or something.
Seriously though, i like it. The head could use some sprucing up though, its very circle-y, and uninteresting.
i know what you're trying to do and you didnt pull t off well
the legs are the main problem
if you look at his right hand its obvious that this was inspired by rtil's stuff
hey look it's me
[attachment=745:CCI00035.png]
Looks good but the heads a little too small.
the perspective you're going for is really difficult, and proportions of his body aren't matching up with the camera angle. i would suggest getting proportions right with profile and front views , then studying reference on extreme lens angle shot and how things fade into the distance before getting into them
Agreed. Im trying to get into similar angles myself. Takes some time, but worth it in my opinion. For now i only do side views and front, above (bird perspective) and some other shady angles that i cant describe.
But looking good so far. Rtil influenced, but youre gettin the hang of the thing with perspectives and likewise anatomical body parts. Very good.
Quote from: HammiBut looking good so far. Rtil influenced, but youre gettin the hang of the thing with perspectives and likewise anatomical body parts. Very good.
uhh so what if it is rtil influenced?
i like his style very much to try and draw some things like he would, but i do have variety, y'know
I'm saying this because you kinda make it sound like a big deal, idk but I'm just throwing that out
same goes for taylor
and thanks rtil & crab
though i thought the angle looked fine when I drew it

Oh but im not saying that its a bad thing, absolutely not. Im just saying that its a good way to practice, especially when you have an artist like rtil as your role model. Look, im a bit anime/tartakovsky/andrew dickman influenced. Of course we need something to look up to. Dunno how someone can stay influence free from all other artists while creating a style of his own, but id say its pretty normal that most of us learn from all the other artists out there.
Not trying to make a big deal of it. Just wanted to make that one clear xP
Ehh... Rtil's style sux (j/k j/k lol) but yea looks pretty good so far. I wanna get my scanner working so i could show u guys my sketches.

a small flash intro thing i quickly made
looks ok i think
have it draw out at a fast pace and give the text some more pizazz
ya know like a cromxt
[attachment=1712:comic_stuff.png]
another sketch from study hall
i really like how mishka turned out in this little comic strip thing
and as you can see i added a tail to him and i think it matches him pretty well
and i made a knight in the middle for good measure
finally i can upload some stuff here
i always wondered how mishka should really look so i sketched him as a kid and as a grownup and wanna know which one appeals to you more
as a child he's a total goof
as an adult he is a real jerk but usually won't mean being one
and i think they'll be mute characters for the time being ok here's the sketch!!!!!!!!
[attachment=1970:Mishka_AvsC.png]
adult mishka has let himself be taken over by the harsh injustices, otherwise known as realities, of life. He has fallen into the depths of a cold unforgiving world which has stripped him of his youthful innocence and wonderment. To put it more succinctly, I like child mishka a lot more.

ya never know man kid mishka might actually kick sum ass

doesn't look like mspaint is your thing
easytoon gif!!!!!
[attachment=2068:lick.gif]
wow this place is dead
more
this one has kinda sucky shading but i like it, it's a shade
[attachment=2199:shadesketch.png]
and this one got the most comments at school, i dunno what to call it yet
limbs/limbless
i think both are cool
the one with limbs knows karate and the limbless is making a fireball
[attachment=2201:shroomsketch.png]
i like that bottom one mishka
yeah that thing is pretty cool

phhff yeah ok!
more stuff
and this one is my very first try with oil pastels, i think it came out pretty swell
[attachment=2204:hAir.PNG]
at first it was supposed to be some girl but i drifted from sketching to using pastels and i saw this girl with long black hair, so i drew it!
take a close look at it and tell me what you think it looks like
a goth rocker with a serpant fuzed to her arm that uses her long dress to attract the moon for her amusement
lmao your avatar
it looks like some kind of living tree monster
ilike it
[attachment=2300:friendssketch.png]
mishka with a new character, Tick, on a train about to leave to a city
not done but will be colored
[attachment=2301:fun_stuffsketch.png]
uh
[attachment=2302:MUGEN_stagesketch.png]
shadowfox suggested i make (that stage for the mugen thing we've probably forgot about), and finally it's done!
[attachment=2303:privateersketch.png]
a privateer with some cool gun
i really like the first one. you should try coloring it.
the bottom one has some cool elements but his shirt and pants are taking away from the design, they're too boring
alright, i'll see what i can do with privateer
and yes i will color it, but i dunno if i should make it a sunset lighting or more daytime-ish
sunset
i really love the details on the privateer's weapons and his devious facial expression, but his clothing doesn't look appropriate for a privateer. he looks more like a cowboy to me. He just needs more piratey things like tall boots, or a long colonial-looking cloak. otherwise tho, this looks pretty sweet ;D
more, sorry if they're a bit large
[attachment=2321:KUBE.png]
made in art class, the teacher asked us to draw a new species, this is the result
the black is there because i don't want you to know what kind of intelligence it is
and it's not artificial
[attachment=2323:tickcasting.png]
sketch of tick
[attachment=2320:inkedtick.PNG]
inked version, meh
[attachment=2322:me.png]
self portrait in art class, made in three days, not the best
[attachment=2324:Untitled.png]
privateer, again!
privateer has some new cool stuff
for the portrait - don't outline noses. the only parts of the nose you should draw on a front view are the bottom. you can use shading to give the nose form and volume instead of line
ok so i've made an acrylic painting in school, and i've just finished it today and i wanna show you guys
as soon as i can get a good picture of it or something i'll post it up here and other sites
it's my final for painting class, and i think it came out really well
http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.p...st&p=103003 (http://www.thebackalleys.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=1075&view=findpost&p=103003)
^this is the rough of that painting
i just hope it appears on a new page because i hate it when a whole bunch of my sketches load in a single page
so yea from now on i'll just link images!
this is it. (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/SV500099.JPG)
i'm kinda glad how it turned out, for my first painting. plus it's going to be hung into the ceiling of my school for forever
although i think there are some depth issues, but overall i love it
also i didn't put mishka in there because i wanted the painting to introduce tick, but i guess i should have put mishka in there because it would express them as friends
crap
Didnt come out too bad I have to say!
the background is too close in color with the character, it's also a little strange looking. compositionally i don't think it fits with it. i think the painting would have been better with just the character !
you're right, because i actually thought of only doing the characters, then i woulda put mishka in there too!
but i wanted to make the background really badly. but i ended up making it look too, um, simple.
guess i need to work on bg's more
i'll make another one since this is my final for painting class
ok my final is done (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/monochrome_purple_wizard.png)
personally i don't think i deserve a 98 on this because it sloppy and rushed
i had to draw objects in the middle of the classroom using monochromatic coloring
ok i need help
HERE (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/getawaysketch.png)
i wanna color this in photoshop but first what do you think
i also wanna know if it's a good camera angle
it's supposed to be some toad monster chasing tick up a giant sewer pipe, moss and shit growing on the walls and it crumbles and falls like rocks as the thing climbs up
i dunno i barely finished it last night
i think you could use the arms and legs to show perspective, right now it's kind of flat. it would be cool if it was running or something, and show the back leg tapering into the distance a little, and the foot in front close to the camera
i also think the eyes could use some work
you can fix these things in photoshop
alright, i'll just make it something like he's chasing tick then
thanks

mishka and tick again (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/carbo-juice.PNG)
i enjoy your paintings, they look very nice
also there are clear signs of improvement in your recent drawings
keep up your good work mishka
hurrr (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/tickencounter.png) more sketches coming later today
this (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/my_hand.png)
this (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/davis_fern_n_kubara.png)
and these for the mugen if i ever get the chance, tick (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/tick_mugen.png) and knight (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/knight_mugen.PNG), maybe mishka
I liked those last few sketches
tick reminds me of rayman
here's a mugen version of mishka (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/mishka_mugen.PNG)
i hope to color all three soon
its a shame i cant see all your previous drawings! i really want to see how youve improved!
i CAN see the ones on page 5, and i think they are really fun characters!
the mugen ones are nice too but i dont know how to give critique on them, like the last one, mugen mishka's arms are too short, but that might be the part of the mugen style you chose to do, so i dunno!
but it also looks like youre having fun making them, which is the most important thing.
the hand looks great although it could use some more detail, but maybe thats because your hand isnt as wrinkled and hairy as mine so i cant really say much about the detail actually P:
also the shading, dont be afraid to use more clear short lines for the shades cos right now theyre barely visible! i'd say try it out sometime!
and you also promised to make some more bg's and you shouldnt break your promise man thats not cool make the bg's and its again ok
keep going!
guess who these cool kids are (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/tba_members.png)
also i got me a brand spanking new shit scanner

the rest you got pretty well!
new shit that i didn't bother to clean up (http://www.thebackalleys.com/ok/public/tickwithfreinds.jpg)
I honestly think that character design is limiting you
I think you should try making some more diverse characters instead of drawing tick over and over again and adding characters that have his overall shape
those expressions look nice tho, cartoony in a good way!
yep i expected this
right now im still studying anatomy, mostly for mishka and other stuff
lmao i love the way you made J and cdm!!
