General Art thread 2010OCT

Sketched this.

Spoiler:

realized it looked a lot like

Spoiler:

and now I probably won't finish it beyond the slapdash coloring.

Feels bad, man.

Although I may just finish it for the hell of it now. I haven't drawn anything in so long. My tablet's been so... lonely...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They ain't got no legs! Sweet Jesusu!

And I actually might go back to the Emma Frost picture once I finish off this one I'm working on of Blink. ...Hopefully I'll have a WIP to post later tonight.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yup. Even named my NE rogue in WoW "Blink". Cause hey, she looks like a NE. It works. =P

No idea why I'm on such a kick for drawing Marvel characters, though. Emma, and now Blink.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nah, that's actually the first time I've drawn Emma.

I've drawn Blink a ton, though. Here's the newest one I'm doing.



Most amazing jew boots

Our names do start with 'V', I guess.

Here's the finished thing.



I was speaking idiomatically.

Rough idea that basically started as a joke. I call it "Tank City". Kind of based off the SDF stuff from Macross, but on a tank. ...and it doesn't and won't transform.



This is just a rough. I spent a decent amount of time on the wheels/treads before I decided to just block most of it in and change it as I go.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I really like that Starfire picture.

She usually shows more skin than that, though. =P

FELIPE NO

Stance on that one's a little odd. Something with the torso, maybe? Plus, I get the idea at first glance that the head doesn't belong on that. She needs like, a helmet or something to tie it together.

Anyway, went back to Emma Frost. Changed up the angle a little. Shoes look like crap, but feh... I'll color it tonight, probably. Going to bed. Blargh.



What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Finished, or at least as far as I'm going with it. Shading's not 100% perfect, but I got tired of messing with it since it's at a kinda weird-ish angle to me. I dunno. NEXT PROJECTU!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the critique/comment. I was actually trying for a deeper shadowing, but for some reason it never quite looked right. This may sound kind of dumb, but is there a certain formula on picking a shadow color? I seem to take forever to find just the right shade, and even then it's usually not quite what I was looking for.

For example, I had a hell of a time finding a shadow color for blonde without making it look wrong (to me, anyway). I guess practice/experimenting is the obvious answer, but I figured I'd throw the question out there in case there's an easier way.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
