He was a soldier

Kind of reminds me of the pods they use in avatar. It's like someone was controlling their avatar and stayed in there until they wasted away.
But I get the impression by the green and the warning thing that it was a quarantine tank of some sort.
Maybe it's a man that has gone through a machine that strips dead bodies of flesh. In a spaceship, all organic matter is valuable, and must be made into compost to fertilize the hyrdoponic farms. What's left to cremate is the skeleton.
Well judging by the control panel, this is a stasis chamber that malfuncioned, and while it kept the soldier asleep, it didn't maintain vitality.
That is a severely deformed skeleton!

Looks alright to me.
Looks like it's a child's to me. Don't know if that's intentional.
[QUOTE=Jallen;44587865]Looks alright to me.[/QUOTE]
The skull is bigger than the whole ribcage? And the ribcage its self looks kinda wonky but I haven't really done skeletal studies so don't quote me on that one.
Looks like a kids skeleton to me proportionally, kinda what I figured maybe it was supposed to be.
it does look like a kid's skeleton but the piece itself is very good.
And it's such a clever, snarky remark about everyone telling him to stop painting generic soldiers. Huehuehue

I keep looking at this. You do so little with your strokes but it looks fucking amazing.

My first thought was that it's a human who was born and lived on a planet with different gravity/atmosphere (more or less) explaining the different skeleton. It's a good excuse anyway :v:
Tried doing another spitpaint, topic was long tail creature.

this time I tried watching a video of someone else paint and observe some of their techniques before starting, but I don't feel like it affected my style much, any improvements?
Draw from photos / real life. There's not much benefit in drawing stuff from your head at this stage.
And actually read all of those long informative posts in the thread, because what Jallen has said has been said many times before, to many people who should definitely be listening.
Frankly we should get all of the top dogs here to put a "How to: Arting" guide together to make a stickied post so we can just send people there when need be.

But I did read them (the recent ones anyway). I'm trying my best to apply them.

If you are talking about how I should draw from real life, I said I would try to find time for that and that it would mainly be in the summer, right now I'll try my hand at small quick doodles so that maybe I improve my brushwork a bit before I start focusing on values and shadows.
How is that going to help you improve your brushwork? Draw from reference and do studies to improve your brushwork, drawing, and shading.
[QUOTE=Lilyo;44591043]How is that going to help you improve your brushwork?[/QUOTE]
Well I was hoping that by learning the general techniques and getting acquainted to them before doing studies and references would make the end result more adequate, instead of me just storming in and drawing references without the slightest clue how to handle a brush in photoshop.

Thats not the point. Start with simple stuff, then if you mess it up, it was simple and didnt take very long so you can do it again without feeling like youv wasted too much time.
Welp, an orange/peach/whatever it is then :v:
At least do what people ask you to do first before asking for more advice. It's not like you're a terrible person for not immediately practising and getting better the moment people tell you to, but it's not like anyone can help you until you try what's already been said either.

Yes but if it looks good now it will only be a happy accident, you don't have a target value, hue, shape, or texture, at least not a coherent one. What's in your head is not concrete like a photo, you can't rely on it to remain constant or even be strictly defined, even if you think it is.
You might make something look cool now and you think "I'm getting better", but you haven't learned anything about putting onto the canvas a believable and at least realism based (which even unrealistic things need to be) scene, you haven't learned anything about translating real imagery into brushwork, which is the most important thing. It doesn't teach you anything about constructing forms, which is why when you go on sites like deviantart you see loads of polished turds - 2 dimensional, completely flat images which someone has spent hours rendering so the whole thing looks like it's made of plastic.
I'm certainly not an expert in drawing / painting but I feel I'm improving. I think with anything getting better is about practising right.
It's a drawing of a weird President Bush / Clinton hybrid. Bill Bush? George Clinton?

Not 100% the right section but I 1000% need advice from people with good sense of style- does this credit sequence look like shit?
Stills will be replaced with video (film isn't shot yet) and I can't leave them up any longer because I have 10 seconds to fit 6 people.
