gonna start off with some concept art for my final uni project next year. it'll involve a girl, a gorilla, a flying bike, and a restaurant

its a fairly simple plot the gorilla steals loads of food and hordes it in his neon jungle so the girl (a waitress) sets off to retrieve it

the gorilla looks awesome but his leg is so tiny haha

hmm i think the hands and feet need a little work, but i love his design and colors. he looks really fluffy

Post by: lenko on August 4, 2009 01:31 AM
thanks guys. yeah im gonna sort the anatomy out as time goes by, i got pretty lazy on the hands.

theres a few things to be added in, mainly the moon and the silhouette of the girl on her bike, as well as a few monkeys in the foreground

i was wondering if a texture would work, it usually looks nice on lineless stuff

only the car has a finalised design, theres also gonna be two thief/adventurer chicks in the car. the big mummy apparition is a 'curse' cos they stole some treasure which is a neon pyramid thing that totally isnt the triforce

i'll probably do the characters in flash and the BG in PS to give that sort of 'animated film screenshot' look. this is either gonna turn out amazing or horrific so any advice is welcome!

also what colour should the car be lmao

some more prac stuff

the old guy was made in PS using a technique i've seen mentioned a lot in tutorials where you use the magic wand tool to make outlines and then simply fill em in. it was kinda impractical at first but then i got used to it. its cool for simple designs but i dont get how some people are able to do massive pieces with it

the chick is my attempt at a 'modern comic book' style ie invincible but it looks more like anime probably because shes pretty with big eyes idk

and uh the cedric is just me fucking around with night shades in flash

Title: general art thread
Post by: Fuzz on August 21, 2009 07:22 PM
His Fro is a little lopsided. Too much in the back. The old man looks really weird and I couldn't tell it was an old man until you said it was. The chick looks really strange. Might be the lips.

could you give her big pouty lips??
and the background could be hawaii or the backyard at a pool party maybe  

also the fish is awesome but i think you could make him scarier although i dont think you wanna work on it anymore !..!../w
Title: general art thread
Post by: emanhattan on August 25, 2009 07:43 PM
I just noticed somethink kind of odd...but nice!
in that jseed to lenko style drawing you used pink and red (wine) for the character, and then grays for the shadows.
In that hawayan babe you picked a color for her skin and just darkened that color a bit. It somehow makes the drawing instantly feel like she´s outdoors as oposed to the first drawing.Idk I just think it works nicelly. take advantage of that as much as you can.

I love the way you drew that girl. I dont have a problem with her lips tho In fact Ive been thinking of doing less defined lips myself. It is just lovely  

keep up the awesome.
