It looks like an uncomfortable composition is the aim though; makes it feel a lot more claustrophobic and tense than if it had been a typical 1/3 balanced comp
You'd expect something creeping behind the astronaut, but it's just empty space.
i like the hallway but i dont like the astronaut placement. i think it's the only thing bad about the composition. maybe try to align it to the golden ratio/ Fibonacci spiral or something

Anyone has tips on straightening paper? My paper always get curved up when I try to shade :(
[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40944909]Anyone has tips on straightening paper? My paper always get curved up when I try to shade :([/QUOTE] If you're pressing that hard to shade try using a pencil with a darker lead instead. I've heard of people ironing their watercolor paper when it warps, but that's about it.
[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;40944909]Anyone has tips on straightening paper? My paper always get curved up when I try to shade :([/QUOTE] Get some thicker paper for starts, if your using just printer paper that rolls at just about anything. And get a nice pencil set like JoeyZ says, at least a 6B. I like to use one to make dark shadows darker without so much work on the HB. (If you keep your works in a sketch book and have trouble with the 6B smudging get some hair spray, its great for keeping everything in place when your done. A nice light spray from a good distance is what we were told for chalk pastel work by one of my teachers in highschool, i've found it pretty useful for a lot of stuff since. Just make sure your really done first since you can't work on top of it)

Yeah, I'm kinda stuck in character concept art and dumb "colorful" things, so I'm still pretty bad in composition stuff. May be I should make a couple of quick master studies like Chesty did. Honestly, this claustrophobic end point of your sight on the right was intentional. I mean, I just wanted your glance to follow the empty corridor to find the guy on the edge, and thus evoke the feeling of abandonment and loneliness. Failed as always.
After ~a month without drawing shit, I saw ChestyMcGee's paintings and it reminded me of something I had intended to draw, but I was too lazy and then forgot about it. So, thank you, ChestyMcGee. Your stuff inspired me :) [IMG]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/159/b/c/penumbra_by_rikimaru6811-d6880mj.jpg[/IMG] [SUP][SUP][SUP][SUP]Can't flare shit. Also sorry Mako.

[QUOTE=Mr cake fingers;40942561]Penumbra? Maybe...[/QUOTE] more like the thing really but i reckon they made penumbra in the image of the thing
Speculated about what the monsters in the new amnesia are going to look like, Probably not like this, but hey, it got me drawing. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eSUE2aP.png[/IMG] And abit of a thematic touchup. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2MdHoKk.png[/IMG]
on the subject of antianan's painting i think the composition is great. it's unnatural and unsettling. it might not be perfect but it draws the eye down a very long expanse of coldness to a character worryingly close to not even being in the frame. it tells a story about a spaceman (dead? alive?) drifting out of some sort of docking port for a large spaceship and out into the empty expanse of space pretty cool
Still a bit low-contrast Dr. Sprok Lovely design, but I doubt the chinese room will mimic Frictional's designs as closely as that :v:
Yeah. I think the monsters are gonna be horribly deformed child laborers, but thats just a something ive gathered from what little material there is out at this point.
Attack On Titan fan art, Ho! [IMG]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/159/0/c/attack_on_titan_by_captain_asparagus-d688q4e.png[/IMG]
