How's the flow in this animation.
Also, those colors are not meant to be final.[/QUOTE]
There is this one line on his nose that disappears half way through, Other than that it is pretty amazing, I think I even learned a bit.

Excellent! I'd like to see the cannon damaging the top of the car when it lands... it seems so heavy.
[QUOTE=Rhenae;44332533]Ive never found the need for multiple pencils. For just an underdrawing and a line sketch ive always found a single mechanical pencil gives enough range[/QUOTE]
That's not what I'm talking about. I use a 0.7mm 4h for regular drawings to do the sketch and then a 2HB to refine it and then if it's a bigger drawing a 6B to further shade the darker parts, and a 0.5mm 6h for paintings and then paint over it. Also drawing with a mechanical pencil for anything other than outlines and sketches is just counterproductive since it's not really made for shading. Doing the sketch with a regular pencil will make it much harder to sketch freely and it'll be hard to erase and clean up properly.

Suspension of disbelief, and rule of cool, "ye I have this sweet cannon I have to fix my car after using every time" could be lame
maybe if there was something else that popped out from the front of the car to catch the barrel and provide support

Picturing that is hilarious actually, but probably not the direction he wants to take it? At least make the car shake when it hits it maybe.

That could work. I could consider having the car getting damaged on it's roof or just have some sparks or something. However, I'm sorta pressed for time so if I only got the time.
have the car move up to meet the cannon slightly and then thump back down to the road like when the cannon is being put into position it'd act as a counterweight to the car and lift the front up

I get it dude, I'm just practicing the basics; I'm not buying anything and not carrying a pencil set to work with me I just need to know about my general technique.
here's my reference, if the link will work.
... apperently not, let's try this

Also, excellent Ron Swanson gif, I commend you.
woah there dude that sure is an interesting way to draw

oh good you fixed it

Seeing as this thread isnt just about 2d artwork, ill post this here.
I started with a soundless clip from the movie Wall-E and I had to re-do the sound from scratch. There is a slightly better version at school atm, but this one is still good enough. It is only missing one or two sounds and a few volume tweaks. It may sound different depending on your sound system.
[video=youtube;5gTr7W82Y-I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gTr7W82Y-I[/video]
In the other version when eve strikes the magnet with her gun it makes a sound, also there is an extra sound when the boats fall over. The distant explosion is also less reduced to bass and is louder.
since ive started with my internship at a small gamestudio I barely get any time to work on big personal pieces, so I try to make a few speedpaints everyday.
this is the latest one

had 1 hour for it with the tags "bipedal" and "leader"
well donkey dicks now how in the heck am i gonna get an internship with anywhere?

you've really improved with this one. way more expressive than your previous stuff. one of the first times i've been able to look at your piece without immediately going "xephio made this"

This looks like it's set up to be a comedy. If the cannon is something that this guy is going to use regularly I'd like to see the car inexplicably repaired every at the beginning of each episode.
Later on you could find an excuse to pan across his home where dozens of pristine car roofs line the garage and his back yard is full of bent ones and broken glass.
First half of the opening to my first shot at a real short story. It'll be about three chapters long, each being a couple of pages, with an ending I can very easily expand off of if I wanted to go full blown novel.
[quote]Riley gazed past the sandy red canyon walls to the horizon beyond. The sky was a bright blue, with hardly a cloud in sight. He started playing with a badge on the collar of his ballistic vest, running his thumb over the inscription, 'Specialist of the Sixteenth Espers' emblazoned on the dull silvery surface.
“It's dead quiet,” he said with a sigh, slumping down the large rock he had been squatting against.
“Not much left out here in the wastes,” said Garrett, leader of the Sixteenth Espers. He had a pair of binoculars pressed to his face as he laid prone under a pair of dead bushes, perished by the blazing sun overhead. Garrett had been fixated on a small, ramshackle post-collapse village, just a few hundred feet down the valley for hours now. Hardly moving the binoculars since they've begun their stake out.
“Was it always this hot in the east?” grunted a heavily armored man as he walked through a thicket of nearby dead shrubs. He stumbled up next to Riley, and took a heavy seat on a dried out log, making it creak under the sudden weight. “Because I don't remember it being this fucking hot.”
Holt was the man's name. Not somebody Riley would ever soon forget. Holt was easily over six feet in height, maybe close to seven, and was built more like a guerrilla than a man. The pre-collapse era armor he was wearing only served to make him appear even larger.
“You think maybe it's that gigantic oven you're wearing?” Riley asked.
“Let me know when that little fashion vest you're wearing can stop a tank shell, and maybe then I'll stop wearing this 'oven',” Holt responded with a raspy laugh.
Riley rolled his eyes, but he had to admit, Holt's armor was impressive. A marvelous relic of past technology. It was constructed with two overlapping layers. The first being a full bodysuit of bulletproof material, with very precise interwoven ceramic plates, on top of which is an incredibly strong metallic outer shell of plated armor that covered most of the body. The sheer weight of the system made it unwearable for any average soldier, but Holt wasn't your average soldier. He was a 'Gifted'.[/quote]

more faces
i don't want to spam with my sprites but i fixed the outlines and made the running a bit more smooth :v

and then made a slicing animation
[img]http://i61.tinypic.com/nyoop.gif[/img]
Looks more like he's poking with it than slashing because you made the movement seem upwards rather than from left to right as it should be.

Show, don't tell. And it's gorilla in this instance, as opposed to guerrilla.
Unrelated observation, what is it with the name Riley and military installations?

Now it looks like two swipes, and the last one still looks like its lunging upwards. Since you rotate your arm when you strike back to the left the blade should flip to that side too. The first strike is great though, but if you want to make a combo animation you need to also shift his body. The knees usually shift towards the direction of the strike.
As well I personally find the running animation keeps his center mass a little too stationary.

should i bring his right knee forward more when he swings it up?
Try to incorporate more movement of the actual fabric, since it looks like it's a loose-fitting sweatshirt, try having it moving around on him as he runs- back and forth, to and fro, etc.

It reads like a 14 year old wrote it. The adjectives in particular are very basic, it's nastily expository (0 suspension of disbelief, 0 investment in your world and characters) informal language blah blah
And the formatting is the same as the last one of these you posted

Code is a rubbish way of formatting fiction because any time you put in an 'if' or an 'or' it treats it like a conditional and highlights that son of a bitch
Haven't been drawing stuff lately because I've been working on design stuff for Uni. I have to make a logo so I reinvented my crescent moon in Illustrator.
Here's what I have now, it's not vector based and you can see pixels when you zoom in:
[IMG]http://puu.sh/7HpP2.png[/IMG]
and heres the new one (sorry about the border, I screencaped this using pussh):
[IMG]http://puu.sh/7HpNT.png[/IMG]
I made it A LOT more simpler, while I like how the mesh-like shape of my old logo makes it look complex and grand, the newer one is easier and quicker to see, you can still see it's based off a crescent moon without struggling too much. simplifying it also makes it look "cuter" you could say. I also had to simplify it to make printing more easier, this is going on a business card.
The colours are more teal because this is for printing and I have to use Pantone colours (I could also easily print it in a mono colour if I wanted to).
