how are you making the scales? looks like it will take a fuckton of time to do them
I was told a thread or two ago I could post anime/manga here

It's pretty decent, but I dont like the thickness of the legs, looks a bit bulky and impractical.
Also the lack of proper feet is a bit offputting
They were meant to be powerlegs, meant for incredible strength and speed. (You don't have to have skinny legs to go fast) The feet are for nimbleness, which normal feet can't accomplish all the time. The term, "tripping over your own feet", exists for a reason. :v:
Though I appreciate your input.
How does she bend her knees? It looks completely connected all the way down.

Huge legs will slow you down and human feet are built the way they are because they work perfectly for our form.

Humans are built for endurance, not for speed. We can run for ridiculously long amounts of time (compared to other animals), but we aren't built to be very fast. However, the fastest human is this guy:

And I'd say he has some pretty thin legs for an athlete, and he clocks in at 27.79 mph. Faster than an Elephant.

You can see from that example how the weight is shifted on the foot so that we can balance and walk/run.

With a wooden potters knife. It's more tedious than time consuming
[QUOTE=squids_eye;34933217]How does she bend her knees? It looks completely connected all the way down.[/QUOTE]
There's a knee there, but it's harder to see front-side. The joint is covered in stretchy material to hide it.

Only problem is she isn't human at all..
Maybe I should attempt to make an animation at some point demonstrating how she runs.
Bah I don't know, the whole universe she comes from doesn't make much sense & isn't practical at all anyways.
I mean, moon powers that make purple flames?
Nuclear powered failed experiment with super heated plasma blood and surface veins the width of Italian sausages, with hair that can form into a hard whip and has hundreds of rows of teeth?
I have a terrible imagination.

HUGE LEGS WILL SLOW YOU DOWN. period.
[editline]29th February 2012[/editline]
that's why turtles are slow. they got bulky big legs. elephants are slow too (of course we consider them "fast" because they outrun us and proportion-wise they're fast because they're huge, but if there were the size of a cow they'd be considered slow).
Speed painting. Trying to get better at drawing faces. Didn't really focus on the rest.

It doesn't matter if she's a robot. None of your rationalising matters here.
We are talking about design. When people look at your robot they won't think 'that will run fast'. Why? Because it has bulky-ass legs.
[B]Design[/B] is about making the parts of the designed object imply certain things. A streamlined nose on a jet IMPLIES speed and agility. I mean to say that it tells us, even if we only see a motionless photo of the jet on the runway, that it's gotta go fast.
A house that's designed might have big, rocky walls which IMPLY physical strength. We don't have to see it get hit with a tank shell to know that it's strong.
Your legs do not imply agility or speed. They are bulky.
Do research on 'fast' characters. You'll see that none of them (or very, very few of them) have bulky legs.
You won't be able to stand there and tell everybody that looks at your pictures that the character is super fast. That's not how pictures work. If you need to explain it to people then you are not designing your characters/objects properly.
even sonic has noodle legs

Bro, I half finished a digital painting of a German soldier today as well. Difference being that the face is so distorted I'm actually too embarrassed to post it here.

The picture showing how you walk barefeet is wrong.
Most people actually touch the ground first with the front of the foot when you are barefeet.

That's gonna be one weird walk. Is that what waddling like a duck feels like?
Most animals and barefoot runners who have trained for it land on the front of their foot, however most people walk and run "wrong" and land on the heel first. This puts a whole lot of strain on the ankle but people have gotten used to doing it because of padded trainers and such. Do a bit of research on barefoot running. Absorbing your strides by landing on the front foot is the right way, but not necessarily what most people do.
This is all based on veeeery basic knowledge I could be wrong
it's amazing how much alexiuss's paint overs of my art looks like 10x better. I'm learning a lot from it, what I could have done better and such.

I think it's funny that people think that the captain is shaken up in the last panel, but actually it's supposed to look like he don't give a fuck.

Best way to run bare footed is to roll around the blades of your feet, neither front nor back actually.
Sprinting, shoes or not, lands on the roots of toes and front indeed.
just testing it myself, i tend to kind of land on the outer edge and front

It's the small "pupil" in the middle. Makes it look like he's got eyes wide open, it would have worked better if the eyes were the same as in the last panel or at least wouldn't have clear pupils showing.
alexiuss did the touch up of the eyes

Yeah, outer edge for slow running as it conserves more energy; toes for sprinting as it shifts the center of mass for inverted pendulum motion, though more tiresome.
Heels are only for walking.
I like how I just post a random picture from Google, after searching "barefoot walking" showing that feet are built to walk/run and people are critiquing it. It was just a demonstration of what feet look like and how they interact with the ground. :v:
And for future reference, I run towards the front of my foot, not on my heels.

They're showing all of the different kind of footsteps for how you're moving already.
While I make pretty awesome sketches, I hate, and I mean hate to draw anything that isn't alive because it often requires a lot of perspective stuff
And it loses so much appeal when I ink it
and I cant colour

Pls help!!!!!!
Use guide lines and grids.
And might sound really lazy but google something allong "perspective drawing for beginners"
and VOILAH
