Yeah I'm going to go ahead and post all my eyerape drawings in here. A couple to start, many more to come this week probably.

on the 2nd drawing his clothes (especially his shirt) are folding in strange places, and his sleeves seem to be defying the laws of gravity. i suggest you do some cloth studies. you have the right idea, but they're in the wrong places

well the folds on the front of the shirt are intentionall strange and flipped up like that. As for the sleaves, I see your point.
the shading and designs are awesome. could be a lil bolder
Quote from: FreekCthe shading and designs are awesome. could be a lil bolder
I'm sort of trademarked by my very bland poses and bored looking characters. Everyone I draw, save from the characters in Spider, tend to be totally apathetic or just really bored. And they're posture reflects it I guess haha.
But it's true, I need to get far away from that habbit.
THANKS! either way
I like the shading, the left leg of the guy in the second drawing is by far thinner than his right leg though.
Can you post bigger versions?

haha, so it is! I'll watch for that next time.

Your first one bothers me just because of how the arms are positioned
but you purposely made the body longer then the legs so maybe the arms
are supposed to be that way.
But the other ones down look pretty good.
great presprective on the top one
prespective/perspective (?)
Yeah the arms are intentionally weird. But the drawing sucks anyway, because the arms are supposed to be WAY longer. It's the same character I drew in the front and back views, but his arms are totally different and lame and bad and terrible.
And thanks FreekC! Good to know I have a fan, haha.

Still cool looking.
Quote from: crabarmsStill cool looking.
Thanks!
I think they all look good. At least better than my crap that float around here like chunks in a sewer. The 2nd pic, i think theres something with that arm. That elbow looks kinda dodgy even though hes wearing a shirt. And a bit longer than the other arm. Rtil is right about the gravity though, i think you need to let those sleeves hang, just like any textiles normally do. But hell, you do better than me. And you definitely dont suck at shading like i do. Im not even into clothing studies that much. I like the comical feel in your drawings, the style.
You got almost everything anatomically correct, you just gotta learn how to put the perspectives steadier and more concentrated. The drawings do hit the spots indeed. Much more detailed than mine xP
Quote from: HammiYou got almost everything anatomically correct, you just gotta learn how to put the perspectives steadier and more concentrated.
I don't speak Norwegian, could you translate that to English please?
Thanks for the comments though. And yeah those sleaves are hella fucked. HELLA! His left arm is longer than his right because for some reason I thought that was cool. He's "the left hand of God" anyway. It's all in the comic. His left hand is also bigger, if you'll look at that. I'm not sure what you're getting at with the elbow, but thanks for pointing it out. I'll give it a close look for sure.
And yes, I most certainly need to do some cloth studies. Like really badly.
Anyway, I'm glad you like them

not really. i even admit that there are glaring flaws. your just subjectively picking out parts you want to use against me.
anyway that comment i made in quotes has nothing to do with criticism. a girl fav'd a picture on deviant art and said she loved my style. that was my response.
go back and read my responses, i admit plenty of flaws. get glasses if you can't read man.

I think Carr would have to be my favorite at this time, because he seems cool, but either an unfortunate or a lazy slouch due to the look of his clothes. I'm gonna guess that Hurr and the hitman guy are the same person. I like his facial expressions though. I've gotta say the pig is some kind of good work in my opinion, but the side view makes him look very thin in the back/head area, and it almost looks like you could just detach his nose if you wanted to.
The pig guy reminds me of Manhunt :(
Quote from: Mega_vox_noiseThe pig guy reminds me of Manhunt :(
Why did society have to ruin Manhunt 2? It had so much potential. I hate you Jack Thompson.
Anyway the pig isn't my design, I was just practicing drawing it. I have to do all sorts of things for my drawing aptitude test for college. I changed bits about him though, and thans for pointing out about the back of the head and the nose, I'll need to work on that.
Carr isn't so much lazy, per se, as he is apathetic to the point where it may as well be a disorder. He simply doesn't give a shit. That changes as the comic grow, but that's Carr at about 24, mid-arch, so he's in his apathetic phase there. He starts off 19, and ends at about 30. Across those periods he grows to accept who he is, and embraces it. He remains an antagonistic personality though.
Edit: Hurr and Lufis are not the same. Lufis is the hitman. Hurr would be somewhat a relation to him however. I can't go into details without killing alot of secrets of my Spider storyline though. It's neat you caught the similarities, because aside from the general shape of the head, and the brow line, I don't even see many similarities haha. Great eye!
the depth youve created by shading the pig is imperessive
pigs front view is great, but you squished him for some reason on the side. he should be the same width on both sides to get that real fatness
Quote from: rtilpigs front view is great, but you squished him for some reason on the side. he should be the same width on both sides to get that real fatness
Yeah haha, I only realised partway through drawing him that it was right on the edge of the page, and I was like fuck it, I'll finish it this way. It looks hideous though.
As for the front, thanks haha. Rtil thinks something I did is great, which is satisfying to hear. I however find endless problems with it, but that's only natural I'm sure.
I'm working on some action poses for the pig, I ended up making him even fatter overall. I looked at the original drawings I was provided and he just looked much beefier (that's right, ANTIPUN) in them that I originally thought. There's a load of those, so I'll probably scan them soon.
I also have a 4-hour self-portrait on the way. I had to do it for my drawing aptitude test :/

Those are looking good. I really like the bottom one the best
where he has his hands together.
I like that one too, but I wish I made his arms bent and not these weird straight things right from the shoulder.
I guess then he would be able to perform the Heimlich maneuver
wwwooohaaa
Nice artwork and the hand WOOHooo was awesome maybe you should teach me how to draw hands `cuz
i really suck in hands XD
I can't teach you a thing. Just draw your own hand and you'll learn to adapt the little nuances into all the hands you draw. It worked for me.

Nice is that the penguin?
It is the penguin, yes he is.
the way you blend colors gives your finished pieces a real muddy feeling. if you want to go for that hand-painted look, i would try lying down the solid colors first, then smudging or whatnot later. it also helps if you give it a background first. even just something rather than a wash of white. because the character seems to be in a night situation, lit by a white lit and a purple light somewhere straight on towards him. still, your placement of the purple seems rather random and the hue of it doesn't change based on what surface it's hitting. if it's hitting the suit, it's going to be a more bluer washed out purple, and if it's hitting his skin, it's going to be a lighter, more red purple. still, this does vary based on the intensity of the light, but it will never look the same for each surface.
Quote from: rtilthe way you blend colors gives your finished pieces a real muddy feeling.
That's pretty much what I meant earlier.
It looks cool. It's like he went for a multicolored suit. His left side looks a bit disfigured though...

Yeah. I didn't give it much though, just started slapping shit here and there. I actually didn't blend of smudge a single thing in either of those though. I also did lay down the solid colours first, haha.
Next time Around I'll do the background first though.
As a side note, the purple bits aren't a result of lighting, they're just random purple. It's not hitting the character as you say, but rather just on the character. Still it's obvious I could execute that in a much better fashion, because it wasn't apparent my intention.
yeah i'd say the 'random bits of color' thing isn't helping you out very much

the arm is too long and the coloring/shading isn't as good as you usually do it. Besides that it's alright.
