Study some anatomy [editline]16th June 2011[/editline] Actually, have this useful link that Nyaa just posted [url]http://alexhays.com/loomis/[/url]
Could you elaborate on which part of my anatomy is off? Or do I have it all wrong?
Perspective is off, like the claw and shoulder. Anatomy is bad, go study. Also, experiment with colors and design, like make multiple clones and give them variations in color and styles. The current, typical Steampunk style is horribly monotonous and could use a redesign.
I like the colors you chose, and the way you made him look sort of luminous.

Pretty neat color choice, he has a kind of soft, old film look to him.
I'm scrapping this one and starting over. I might put more of a setting; introducing lightning into the scene might let me have two color schemes and solve the mono-chromatic problem. [img]http://ploader.net/files/14d543e68220037b56e80a83a8f921c0.jpg[/img] How is my anatomy? What about perspective?
No No No, see you're putting him in a pose. And I don't want to discourage you, but it looks like you don't quite understand anatomy, so you shouldn't be doing the whole scene already, cause it's already coming out wrong. If you reaaaally want to stick him in to a pose already go find something from one of these places: [url]http://www.posemaniacs.com[/url] [url]http://characterdesigns.com/[/url]

depends on the goal, actually. [QUOTE=The Epidemic;30508888]Could you elaborate on which part of my anatomy is off? Or do I have it all wrong?[/QUOTE] all is wrong but I suggest start with faces and study how rotation of the torso affects limb placement and such.
[QUOTE=Cobra Dude;30531627]Does it really need to be perfect?[/QUOTE] Well, that's really up to you...
Needs more steampunk!
I think it's pretty well done, I'm not much of an artistic person myself but I enjoy it. Well done.
It's ok, if you practice more, you have some talent.

If you want perspective, define the horizon then place the vanishing point on the horizon. Then anything above the perspective, you should be able to see the bottom of. Anything below it should be showing its top. [quote][img]http://i.imgur.com/iSnH7.png[/img][/quote] Maybe this will put your talent into perspective, hurrr

I think it is all supposed to come out of the same two points. So if we say the window is correct: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1275475/Posts/perspectiveAttempt.png[/img]
I did that first one by eye. It is obsolete now, anyway.
Don't discourage him, his art is great. I like the simplicity. The only thing that bothers me is his expression...it seems so vacant!
But if he can improve, then that would be the best. never think that something is so good it can be improved
[QUOTE=Detlef;30553787]But if he can improve, then that would be the best. never think that something is so good it can be improved[/QUOTE] I never said that, there is always room for improvement. But considering 99% of the world can only draw stick figures, I'd say it's good for what it is.
In my eyes, the only bad artist is one who thinks his art is always good, no matter the quality. Conversely, the only good artists are those who almost always think their art is bad, and never good; even when it is wonderful. On the topic of the art, I have to agree with the proportional issues on the first one. On the second one, however, I didn't notice them and I'd be interested in seeing the finished product.
[QUOTE=kfbd;30553724]Don't discourage him, his art is great. I like the simplicity. The only thing that bothers me is his expression...it seems so vacant![/QUOTE] it's nowhere near any sort of great, actually. It's the potential that lies there.
Progress. [img]http://ploader.net/files/bca22ba021696bdaa36ef2343f72999a.jpg[/img] I'm not happy with the knuckles and the collar of the vest.
