Detlef, that looks fantastic. The neck shadows are a bit too intense, as someone mentioned, but very nice coloring. I like the purple on the ear and nose... Adds to it a lot, in my opinion.

[QUOTE=Inacio;27662039]She looks good shut up[/QUOTE] it's his opinion

Those were mainly drawn for shits 'n giggles, so don't expect Mona Lisa's, also the Skyline of New York as well as the owl aren't finished yet: [img]http://h-2.abload.de/img/26012011602cb9z.jpg [/img] [img] http://h-2.abload.de/img/26012011605ll87.jpg[/img] [img] http://h-2.abload.de/img/26012011603zxrh.jpg[/img] [img] http://h-2.abload.de/img/26012011604gz6p.jpg[/img] Everything was drawn freehand.

The perspective in the first one is weiiiiiiiiiird though

Finished the start of my rife concept: [img]http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/9490/riflewip.jpg[/img] Just need to quickly draw the movement illustrations, add a nice background and some text and hey ho it's done. Worked with textures on this one due to being horribly short of time.

Worked with textures on this one due to being horribly short of time.[/QUOTE] Makes me think of that crysis railgun. Also, the rifle's body and the rails look a bit bland compared to the grip and that metal thermal exhaust part.

Yeah you're right. Might make more gradual edges n stuff. Hm. That's odd because Crysis is pretty much the only place I didn't look for inspiration.

Anyone have any tips on how to get my drawing to scan more clearly? It's drawn so light that it's barely visable when I scan it in. I heavily burned it in photoshop, so that it's possible to see what it is. It looks quite different edited than to what it actually looks like, but I'm mainly looking for idéas. So it's basically a lady in a cloak sitting on a rock... Where? By a lake? I'm out of idéas, help me out please. I suck at drawing stuff right out of my mind, and I have no technique at all which should be quite obvious... Though it looks different in real than here.

For the background, what about some conceptual stuff or something ? like, make her sit on a rock in the right middle of a huge sea with nothing around but water, Aurora Borealis in the sky and such ?

I don't feel like colouring it or adding more lining just yet though, first I wanna work out the background and basic concept. Thanks though, that middle of sea idéa gave me an idea.

[img]http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9490/riflewip.jpg[/img] Some minor improvements.

hmm the metal parts (I assume it's metal) of the gun don't match the grip area. Been said before but it bothers me [editline]26th January 2011[/editline] It's those sharp lines man

[editline]26th January 2011[/editline] [img]http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9490/riflewip.jpg[/img] Any better? Sorry for posting so many updates. I'm here for critique though.

Getting better and better. I think the body is good for now (maybe the brightest parts should be a bit darker ?), you should work on the rails.

Did a few character sketches and ended up spending a little more time on this drawing, though most of it was done pretty quickly. [img]http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/69/lizardapoca2.jpg[/img] Maybe I'll make something out of this concept.

Great work, I like it, But that anthro (raptor, I guess ?) has a weird right arm. It looks out of place, dislocated. But the rest is very well done, I love his face.

If he were to spin it around to play it, he would be strumming with his left hand, and stringing with his right. Just a quick observation.

[editline]26th January 2011[/editline] If you didn't catch that, I have given him is title, and from now on you are all meant to refer to him as such. Alley-Gator.

Alley-Gator is distracted by the Air Conditioning Unit.

Random speed-paint, don't bother critiquing lighting (I know it's not accurate), did for fun and was happy with outcome as I usually suck much more. [URL=http://img163.imageshack.us/i/cavepainting.png/][IMG]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3817/cavepainting.png[/IMG][/URL]

Some shots of a painting I just finished; [IMG]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lf9peyVOlG1qe99eho1_500.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lf9phfhwZa1qe99eho1_500.jpg[/IMG] Finished product; [IMG]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfcyt0GiKq1qe99eho1_500.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfcyqrvfBG1qe99eho1_500.jpg[/IMG] I used watercolour paint + salt and to do the initial drawing + the hair, I used a 0.2 fineliner (Water ink).

Really love the close up picture to that hair... The hair is so textured.

It's a really awesome style.

Started a mock-brochure sorta thing: [img]http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/1603/rifledesignwip.jpg[/img] Need to paint diagrams of some mechanisms and add some text and stuff yet. And probably change the dimensions. [editline]27th January 2011[/editline] Inspired by some Deus Ex work I saw, amongst a lot of other things (real life references, Red Faction, MGS4 etc etc)
