[QUOTE=elevate;36570203]Can't think of anywhere else to put this. Anyways, I'm pretty new to anything art, and I'd like some improvement on this tank tread, which I'm gonna base a creation on later. What can I do to make the colors look less monotone, get some blended colors you know, maybe some highlights? What could I also do to make the outline not look shit?

kinda hard to distinguish the outside of the inner support tubes from the insides of them

I'm still kiiinda working on it...probably not though.
Regardless, you guys helped me bring this a long way from the original version, so thanks for all the critique and support.
I really want C&C on this one. If I get page bitch I'm reposting on the next page. First charcoal piece - I LOVE charcoal!

Hah, thanks. About a week, I think, with an hour or 2 every day.
i was browsing through a box of old family stuff and found one of my older brother's short stories from when he was a kid...

Wow... other than the redundancy of the first two lines, that is a crazy story for a kid to write... really creepy given it's origin.

I don't really understand the logic of reposting because you get the end of a page
The same amount of people see the piece
A logo, or a header, whatever you want to call it.

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;36561236]Can I suggest you paint a landscape and restrict yourself from using ANY beige to mud colours (and going easy on the greys)
Just a thought
[/QUOTE]
Yeah I know, colour is one of the things I really, really want to get a better understanding of. I'm gonna try to get into a habit of one quick, loose photostudy each day.
Weekends! I have time to draw again. Finally.
Wanted to do something like those old sci-fi posters.

One of the best pictures I've ever seen.
Also, did you start with an outline? If so, how did you eventually get this painting to look so there aren't any visible outlines?
is that a nanosuit it looks a lot like a nanosuit

Thanks! I just painted colours over the sketch, as simple as that.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;36574956]is that a nanosuit it looks a lot like a nanosuit[/QUOTE]
Well, it's not so advanced as nanosuit, so let it be...microsuit.
But speaking honestly, I just love how that artificial muscles thingy looks like. And yeah, I love nanosuits.
I love the orange panel, nailed the transparency

You just seriously need to learn how to draw people. That does not act like a human being at all.
You should know how to draw something before trying to draw it in a complex pose in a unusual perspective.
Baisically the same backdrop as last night except with mountains and a tree.

though i'm certain this is the font and not your wrong doing, the X and N seem a little thinner than the rest. the L too, a little.
if you could thicken them up a bit i think it would help, because at the moment i find the eye is drawn to the X more than it should be

I love it how the first half of the story is almost like Max Payne's story, except Payn'es an adult and comes home from his job. even the kid's name is Max!
did he see what he really saw??
[QUOTE=Maloof?;36560397]Very unhappy with the non-foreground bit of the last one, starting again

I think I was thinking too hard about the colours/layout of the last one? Going for a more sporadic approach to layout in this one. I think I'm just not so good at cityscapes - I tend to revert to the sim-city-style look

wow the left-right perspective lines are a bit spastic let me fix that[/QUOTE]
You need to work on your values. It looks really flat now, I barely can see what it is.
Try to do some paintings in gray scale.

It's great that you're modest and all but it's pretty annoying that you keep dropping your things here and acting as if they're just rubbish when you obviously know what you're doing
Maybe it's just because it's through text but it comes off sort of boastful to me

Not because its anime.. but because its just aweful.

it's been coming off as self-depreciative to me, and honestly I understand some people don't value their work as much as they really should when they get better, it's like an inverse law of art (and why people who recolor bases with MS Paint on deviant art are so fucking proud)
