I got bored, made myself a banner for halo which I added to steam since I have been meaning to play it. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16349584/halocombatevolved.PNG[/img] And then one for Anniversary if it ever gets released for PC. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16349584/halo.PNG[/img] I don't know if this constitutes being valid for being put here but if not I will take it down.

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;37209731]Looks like a waste of time tbh[/QUOTE] Oh god. If he enjoyed doing it then his time was not wasted.
You could say that about tracing other drawings or filter-raping photographs or whatever else, but really it's just a platitude with no grounding in context. If you do something using somebody else's work as your base (or sole element), which does nothing to help you progress artistically and yields no apparent result, then it's safe to say you're wasting your time in that regard. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's certainly how it appears, hence "looks like".
If I enjoy doing something no time is wasted. Nobody mentioned about the artistic value of the product depending on the technique I used.
making icons isnt a waste of time its just that merging a couple existing images for a game thumbnail isnt ultra creative or the kind of thing for this thread
[img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7346219/Arts/New/llama.jpg[/img] Sellable? I feel it's too sloppily done, may give it another shot tonight.
the coat and torso is good, but i just don't feel the scale of the llama head is at all right it just looks like it's been popped on there with little consideration i think the neck should be either a little longer or a lot shorter, it just seems very off where it is atm
Noted, thanks. I'm not really sure which way I should go, anyone else got any thoughts about scale?
Longer neck imo.
Yeah I'll go with longer. I was getting a little impatient by the time I started doing the llama; it will all look a lot better later on. The one coat lapel looks hoooooorrrible too. [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] gonna use this reference image for the llama. dat coat <3 [url]http://images.trueknowledge.com/Llama_de_Bolivia_(pixinn.net).jpg[/url]
are you gonna reposition the coat too, 'cause otherwise it's gonna be stretching its neck far sideways
What do you mean, sorry?
the llama in the ref ^ is completely side on unless you adjust the coat you're going to have a torso that's facing mostly forward and a head that's facing completely sideways, which will probably look quite odd
i feel like some of the fur should overlap the collar, as the fur is pointed down would help make it feel less like two detached things, the head and the torso
Ahh I get what you mean. I think I'll probably use a more front-on ref. like this maybe [url]http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/pictures/20000/velka/white-llama.jpg[/url] holy FUCKIGN SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE FDSJKLGHDSFJKH [url]http://supercuter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/baby-llamas.jpg[/url] but anyway yeah i'm gonna make the neck much longer. unfortunately it means I've gotta scale down the piece because i only have A4 sheets. [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] and yeah, I'm gonna have the llama coat overlapping slightly.
A sketch of a 1962 Ferrari Series I 250 GTO, which will be remade as a acrylic painting. Tell me FP, what sort of background scenery would be appropiate for my sketch? [QUOTE][IMG]http://niggaupload.com/images/hP5OT.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]

i'd bring the dot on the i down further and possibly make it smaller. Otherwise it looks p good.
that's a really nice font.
May I ask how you make fonts? As that's nice
Ok, so I don't know where to go with this but i guess this is the best place. I'm going to paint my skateboard in tiger stripes and i need some easy tips on how to draw tiger stripes without making it look retarded. I'm currently working on a stencil that i will put over the board while painting but the stripes wont come out very well.

Finished! [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7346219/Arts/New/llama2.jpg[/img] most of my family actually reckons the neck is way too long, but I much prefer it (thanks!). Any thoughts, anyone? [editline]13th August 2012[/editline] such a terrible photo. I'll scan tomorrow probably.
i feel that whilst a notable feature of a llama is the long neck, when you put it on a body like that it just looks wrong. and not even in a "hey this is funky but still cool" way, but just wrong all over which is a shame 'cause you've done a good job with the shading and everything. but the whole thing just doesn't look quite right to me though :c
