Hey Vemp, I have been meaning to ask...

Are you doing this on your own, or you are you actually taking courses in arts somewhere? Are you planning on using comic book character as part of your portfolio? How far are you planning on taking your art? I am assuming that you are going to do this professionally.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh, sweet. It's vemp's art thread again. I see you dropped "pyre" from your name. Anyway, it's nice to see your art again. You're very good at drawing boobies.

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

magi, I'm not taking up any classes and never had (but if given the chance, I would love to have formal education on Arts). So far, I'm doing this as a hobby, and at the same time improving my skills for I want to pursue a professional career in comics someday. I still have a lot of things to improve, specially sequential art. But so far, it's just a hobby.

naz, nice to see you too! hehe

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I like your style has a Frank Miller/Joe Maderia vibe to it. Who are some of your influences?

I was speaking idiomatically.

rubbersuitguy, I have no specific influence, it kind of varies depending on what mood I'm in, or what book I'm reading. But I'm a huge fan of Adam Hughes and Mike Mignola's art. Right now, I'm into Olivier Coipel and Steve McNiven. Mostly marvel artists.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

All of that art just looks great. It looks like a comic book illustartion. I wouldn't be surprised if you've worked on your own comic strips.
I would like to see what you can do with color but other than that all your work is a real eye catcher.

FELIPE NO

Do you want to know why those are good? It's because they clearly show variety. Too many comic book artists these days get bogged down in just one art style, one way to represent characters, sometimes to the point where some characters start looking the same. With a shift in style, duplicate people would become almost impossible, unless that is really what the artist is going for. Good job... now if I could find an artist...

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

I admire people who can actually draw comic style people nicely. it's such a neat style.

I think my favourite is the second last one. she reminds me of Wonder Woman or something like that.

The reason she reminds you of Wonder Woman is becuase that is who is in the drawing. And you're right; that is a good drawing.

Gotta say, love your comic feel... It's like a throwback to when I used to read comics none stop.. great job.

As a hobby eh?.. Ever notice how people who do stuff like this as a hobby are very passionate about their work.. and you can literally see it on the page..?
Great job I really like your work keep at it and I hope to see more later on!

[size]whoa! ava lilly replied to my thread.[/size]

Holy shit, I never got this much replies since my last "BEEN HERE FOR X YEARS NOW" thread! Thanks for the comments guys, I'll try posting some more stuff later, and I encourage everyone to make constructive comments, not just "nice art" comments. I really want to know what are my flaws and what I need to improve. Once, again, thanks!

Considering just how good you are, we think you have a lot to offer on that front also. You seem to be fairly confident in drawing super hero character (particularly females. >.>) Maybe its time you start to deviating in terms of your subjects? For example, draw some "stuff" other then characters, cars, your living room, etc.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Vempykins...

You never did do my Rue!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

sorry Jess... I promise I'll do it. I just need to find the right mood of the drawing or something. :/

How ya doing, buddy?

From what you've displayed, it looks like you could have a great career as a cover artist. How are you with backgrounds?

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm naked and exposed! D:!!!


you silly good ;-; you need to draw me with clothes!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

sup Rorschach.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Somehow uncharacteristic, but its funny. I enjoyed it. :b Hey, have you ever thought that in certain comic, that the black and white version worked better then the color version? Even in some of the recent ones, when it is fully colored, the line art lost some of its impect.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hey nice stuff man, I particularily enjoyed the mistletoe one, cos that's the kind of twisted guy I am haha. Your figure drawing and foreshortening skills are pretty good man, keep posting!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

heh magi, I exactly know what you mean, you tried and read the last 2 issues of X-Men (#182 - #183). That's a concrete example of what you just said. The colors messed up everything.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yay! I love your art! on average, how long does it take you to draw one or these pics?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey thanks. On average, they usually take an hour or two. Longer if I get lazy. Heh.

FELIPE NO

Something's wrong with that last picture, i.e. where are the boobs? vemp, I'm disappointed.

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

lol sorry for the lack of boobs. I'm kinda doing some tweaking with my art. don't worry, I'll draw some boobs for ya soon!
