I think you left too much of the grid in the final image up top, takes the life out of it
They look good but really washed out, you've only used like the top 2 thirds range of values.
The top one especially would really benefit from level adjustment.

i tend to draw something and then adjust the contrast afterwards.
I find the middle one, the spiral tower thing to really benefit from the light washed out values.

I can see that now, cheers! I'll loosen it up today

Yeah I was thinking they were a bit low-contrast. I wasn't sure how far to push the levels though.
The first one is supposed to be a sort of early morning/post-rain-storm/slightly foggy scene where you'd expect a lot of scattered light and not so much heavy contrast. Now I see that the shadow cast by the jettied upper floor is far too sharp for this! But yeah, I will experiment with increasing contrast based on distance from the camera with this one.
The second and third are quite a distance from the camera, and I didn't want to lose that sense of atmospheric haze that you might get. But I should definitely have done some research in converting similar images by other artists to greyscale and seeing how they did their values and contrast.
Thanks Jallen! I've been away for a couple of months but I don't think I've seen you around here much before. Are you new? If so, welcome!

I agree. I think that lower cable/wire/pipe/mysterious-tube-thing nearest us could be pushed for higher contrast in the details to really pull it into the foreground and give a proper sense of depth to justify and explain the low contrast of the rest of the piece
More Warhams.

Got my drawing tablet back. Still have no idea how to use it, so I tried to make a bunch of cubes. And rectangles, and gates to other dimensions.

High contrast, especially when drawing people, will actually make things look flatter and less realistic. I agree the contrast could be a BIT higher since hes working b/w but if he was working with colors the current values would probably be better. High contrast is a result of a photographic effect that doesn't usually exist in real life.
I think if I just selectively push some of the darks a bit darker it'll be sweet
I might livestream again in a few hours
Would this work as a album cover?

I wish your artwork would match your musicianship. In fact listening to your album right now and I don't feel like it represents your music or themes. I wouldn't know for Minerals, but definitely for Imperfection. I might have a go at designing you some stuff, if you want.
Well new years was interesting... I ended up drawing in the dark after everyone fell asleep and i could barely hold the marker this time lol. I'm gonna try smoking less than last night and do an actual serious painting or drawing soon. I also tried doing this visualization test where i would sit in the dark with headphones on and "animate" the song in my mind as its playing and its crazy what sort of visuals I come up with on the spot. I wonder if that's how a lot of animators do all those weird scenes in cartoons lol

I'm not sure if you're on to something there Lilyo
I mean, it's all pretty terrible
:v:
Oh I know thats just a few second scribbles I couldn't really hold the marker right or see the paper. I'm gonna see next time how an actual serious piece works out, I'm pretty bad at concept art in general though I can't really seem to visualize anything in my mind unless I have some sort of reference. Maybe it'll be terrible though who knows
E: idk what youre talking about this is obviously a masterpiece :v:

a poem, written in a couple of minutes, summarizing the first hour or so of playing Civ V:
"A Home"
I have seen a home,
the home of the master race,
the race I was born of and raised by.
I saw its potential, its greatness,
and I know why we are the master race.
I tried to enter it,
and I know why we are so few.

Your attempts are too...abstract...and sort-of painful to look at...
Take this Facepunch Collaborative Album Picture for example:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/V3cj9pJ.png[/img]
It's not the greatest looking, but it's a good example. It gives you plenty of information, and it [I]looks good[/I]. And as cunty as it sounds, the colors in yours hurt my eyes.
If you want to use the "rock/mineral" theme you have going on, I'd seriously suggest toning it down a couple notches, and changing fonts.
too bad it doesn't actually look good
I personaly think these 'shitty' doodles that Lilyo posted are more interesting than all the worked out shit he uploaded. inb4 how can you say his other stuff is shit. I'm not.
