New Picture Exchange

bacon man--- have you ever seen "waking life?" Style looks alot like that. So I dont think its amaturish. ( and have no fear Im 32.) I got back doin art first as a freelancer about 1 1/2 years ago ( did web stuff for 7 years) and about 3 months ago I got my first gig as a game artist.

Hope to see more posts from you! and thanks for the kind remarks!


CDP-Design-- Thanks for the comment!

the demon guy I did with and old fine point pen Ive had forever ( think I got it from shopko or smiths ) nuthin fancy. The others I did with some new pens I picked up from walmart for 5 bucks ( set of 4 faber castell bold to fine. ) Used only the largest and the smallest on those as well.

The beast pic--same technique ink wise and the brought it into photoshop and did tone values and changes the hue.

All the pics are one 8.5 x 11 copier paper.
Peece,
Mel

waking life? no i havent heard of it. is it a comic or a cartoon or somthing?
thanks, but all i did was trace over a photo, i cant draw humans faces etc like that out of my head!:o i ussualy just draw cartoon-type stuff. but i wanted to do somthing different for a change!

good luck.

Thinking movie but I enjoyed it. Nuthing wrong with tracing I think. Gives good practice for hand eye coordination.

And yeah I only drew for fun and wish I would have started back when I was younger.


Thanks again for the comment. And hope to see some more of your work.
Peece,
Mel

:confused:

thats pretty kool ncie work

hey guys!

mel your work is fantastic! now I want to get into inkings, but I just really got into sketches....

baconman, still looks cool even if you did trace it! when you trace, you get a better idea as to how shading works. or so it seems, at least. :D

magnetos, that's really cool! I love the eyes! (like my favorite anime thing, always the eyes.) good job, let's see more!

last night I thought I'd do a big sketch of a character, well just the head, turned out looking way more older and realistic than he's supposed to be but I still love the outcome! this time i used the anime style of shaping the head, meanning drawing the cirlce, the jawline etc etc etc.

Hi, thought i'd contribute...

Did these at work today : :D

unfibished sketch....hope you like it.

great stuff everybody, here is my first Tablet drawing.
:D

hey guys!
robbmcaulay, those are really cool! especially for being inkings in one day! shading looks really good! post more!
disc187, I like the dude on top. cool hair, cool look, cool staff etc etc etc... the girl's legs (second pic) I'd say maybe you could thin them out a bit, and perhaps make her taller? cool dbz guy. looks like maybe the hair on the dbz dude could use some more shading, like on the left and right thingees in the middle, so to say... looks really good though! aah yes. perhaps you could shade the girl? her hair could use some highlights (for light hitting it) looks pretty good though!

argonauta, way cool girl! i like it a lot! are you going to color her when she's finished? post her when she's finished!! :D

Xploder, nice shading! dare I ask what is it? no wait that'll spoil the fun! it's a winged pair of legs that are wearing pants that eyeballs have befallen on. :p hehe interesting, good job for your first tablet drawing! (mine was a bunch of scribbles. :D)

I've got a comic that I finished a few days ago, use the left and right arrows on your keyboard to 'page' through it... no loader, doesn't take too long to load (under a minute methinks)

thanks.some of the stuff you mention i already knew.I just got to lazy to add more or was just to busy with my flash movie.

well, The_e-Tahn, I'm 15 years old, and have a (good) IMAGINATION. Your comics are a little off reality aswell. Its just a [(human)] bat. I have too much Disney style (meaning roundiness) in my head. Mope I'll kill it with some ANIME... :D

Did some more sketches at work today :

Hope you like

haha hey Xploder, I'm 14, yeah I've got lotsa craziness going round in my head too. I like the pic, it's just kinda crazy; crazy is cooooooool! once I get an anime pic colored in i'll post it up, i've been studying more anime lately.......

robbmcaulay, those are interesting... how long does it take you to do them? nice folds in the face on the dark mob pic.

They are only rough sketches... the blackish ones take about 10-15 minutes cause of all the black and the little ones are just 5 minute sketches on till receipts :D

I'm just getting into comic book art and can't wait to go to Edinburgh next week to rumage through Forbidden Planet (big comic store) for some nice art... we don't get any comics round here except 2000AD weekly and the monthly 'Megazines'...

I recently had to put together a caricature of myself - still working on the shading, but would love to get some feedback about the style.

robbmcaulay,
very nice! Very nice with the coloring. Gives a dramatic feeling.

Cool Stuff! What program did you use?

The_e-Tahn
Your comic is coming along great! Funny stuff!

argo
Always nice to see your work! Your style is great!

CNO
heheh very clean and pro!He would rock as an animation!

edit : heres some doodles from werk:
http://www.melmade.com/sketches/send/doddleDay1.jpg

hey CNO! excellent drawing! only complaint here is that the shoes look kinda tight, er bunchy or osmething, maybe stretch them out a bit-- otherwise it's great!!! cool eyes and hair, now shade it! :D

mel, excellent work as always! how long does it take to make those? hope I can get a job where I draw! so this is for your game gig, I take it?

I've got some ideas for the characters in my comic, already drew them out now I just need to make them in flash... I think I've finally gotten the hang of folds in clothes down. I'll post a few of these guys when I color them in. :D

Here is a lady drew - I haven’t animated it - but could you just imagine?

Looks cool Simonjox,
But I think you should put nude disclaimer on your post as a warning

I will place a warning next time - hope she didn’t make you blush ?-

heheh I just said that because there are alot of younger posters here (under 18)and alot of the art forums that I go to ask people out of consideration to do so..Im 32 so Im not bother by it. Not tryin to give you a hard time just would say to warn people who may be offended so they are given a chance not to have to look at it. Good luck to you and hopwe you post more.
Peece,
Mel

I am 33 - so in the same bracket as yourself - I looked at your site and noticed you have a new job - hope it goes well for you - sounds fun - well done!

I went over your site an love your clean style and hope to see you post a bunch!

Very encouraging to hear - thank you -

Nowadays it makes my head spin looking at the range of approaches people use to show their work online - so i ended up trying to create a basic backdrop - then took the time to concentrate on the bits I put up for view - speak to you again sometime...

It's a G-rated forum, so we've got some rules about content. But since this is an Art forum, I'll generally follow the National Geographic mode of judgement - if it has artistic merit, I'm not about to strike it down.

Just keep it on this side of porn if your work contains nudity. :)

Certainly people can find a lot worse to look at on the Internet - the image is great, BTW

Yay even after a month the amazing art continues!:D

CNO, great character! Think his legs look a bit long though.:)

Melmann, I really like that creature next to the skull with the big gums! :)

Simonjox, nice style and colours. :)

nice pic CNO love the sharp clean lines :D

This either fits or it doesn't :

Animation

Just working my way through my new 3DS Max book...

pickle4prez - nice character there, I like the clean and simple style. Those houses are great, remind me of pokéballs a bit. :D

robbmcauly - cool, are you going to make it more hand like later?


I've been fiddling with pixel art recently, here's my two best so far. What do you think?

http://aim2win.bizland.com/okideas/pixel/toaster2.gif http://aim2win.bizland.com/okideas/pixel/alien3.gif

Aaaaah, pixel art, my favorite :

http://www.robbmc.com/misc/fk/room.gif

The hand was just an animation test, anyone know anything about making skins in 3DS Max? How about you MelMann? I saw that model you made... don't pretend you don't know...

wow that's a pretty big piece of pixel art!
I keep meaning to do something big like that, in fact the toaster was going to be part of a big pixel kitchen :)

lol pixel art the one thing I suck at! great job all of you!

pickel4pres, cool vector character! smooth... maybe you could add some gradients onto the pokeball house things and everything else? :D looks good!

sry robbmcaulay I didn't get a chance to load that, I'm in a tad of a hurry but I'll check it out later!

Olly K, I like the alien dude! nice pixel art!

robbmcaulay (agian) very nice pixel art! cool cool cool!

I finished this one today... enjoy!
