good stuff Tahnee... cloring looks great, like chalk in places...
fiddlesticks crazy design, you are style!
haven't posted in here in ages... here's a doodle from work (taken with a digi-cam, hence the crap quality)

btw it all stemed from those letters.... they actually represent some spreadsheet!
Hey, two q's: Mind if I join in?
And: Is the artwork ok if I make it in flash? I suck at hand drawnings.
join in you may and yes

I've been itching to make a Metal Gear Solid flash movie... so heres one outta two guys I made so far. Like I said, I suck at hand drawings, so don't expect the computer ones to look good either!;)
Hey guys, glad you like Leeshak so much! I've got lotsa other ideas (like redoing my comic in that style, making his bro in ps and starting a kitty comic, but that's never gonna happen this year w/ my school schedule).
magnetos, hhee I know the background's always a little off with me... I like how sharp it is, but it takes away from the character... shoulda done something hand-drawn instead. ;)
fiddlestick, I like your explosions pic arrowy thing! Roads... streets and roads, I see them! and blowing up planets... reminds me of a theory of Infinity that I thought up today. I like it, it has a very stylized geometric style to it.
xup, I love your killer bunny thing! it's got that rough, not so cute-cuddly bunny (at all) look to it. I think it's the whiskers. and the teeth. gotta love it. Andhow you got that whole pic from the letters... I'll never know! haha!
Thomas, hmmm... if your'e making a movie, then non-complicated graphics are always a good key, ie: not having sohopisticated details and shading. but hmmmmm I'd say maybe you could work on your style a bit, I know MGS is pretty realistic, but perhaps some tutorials, like at polykarbon.com could help, even howtodrawmanga. I find anime has good structures as far as skeletons, heads, etc. (even though this guy's wearing a helmet!) I'd say it almost looks like he's gonna fall backwards, try aligning his whole body more. for flash drawings, I'd first make one layer, use the paintbrush tool and set its opacity/Alpha to 40%, then make a stick figure of my drawing, then lock the layer, create a new one on top of it, and draw the body/clothes etc etc etc on it, you can even use more layers... but htat's pretty much just for body structure. I'd say the forearm looks a bit wide, the upper of the arm is kinda skinny, those could be reversed! well, you managed alright (I like the shading on the jacket), so... just keep working at it, you'll get there!
Thx... shall we go on?

I realinged this one, which is a depicture of Solid Snake. The only thing I'm worried about is the head.
http://www.pixelpolice.com/upd1/rabbit.jpg
blown up still from my channel surf animation...
was originally just a picture
that one's fearky
I was going to jazz this one up with some photoshopping and the likes... but I didn't.
awesome pic fiddlestick, u got some evil style!!
here's one i did awhile ago @ work
http://www.pixelpolice.com/upd1/work_doodle2.jpg
camera snap, so bad quality
nj fiddlesticks, that owns
mind if i use it in a sig for another forum?
Yeah sure
Good stuff xup, I especially like the alien guy on the first page... reminds me of the alien from mtv's "giant head" cartoon back in the day.
Very nice graphics here everyone, Im impressed. Its delightful to navigate around and each page be a new pleasure. =)
I began drawing a female medieval knight entirely in photoshop. Someone told me I sucked at using photoshop, so did this one for the pride lol.
However Im done yet. I kind of got desmoralized by the next stage: Drawing the face... I soon realized using black wont do, looks too weird. So Ill have to find middle blending tones. =(
Of course, I also need to smooth some lines and curves, and bring more depth to some parts like her hands and shoulders.
But overall Im quite happy with the result. :)
Im seriously thinking about buying a wacom® tablet, can someone recomend me a model?
Enjoy

Awesome picture you got there. Personally, I don't think you suck in photoshop. :D
Sagess that looks Great!! i cant wait to see it finished :)
and yes buying a wacom tablet is a MUST although i kind of hated in the biginning but now that i got used to it cant live without it :)
http://www.wacom.com/index2.cfm
i got a small wacom intous 4x4 so far so good
but i would reccomend you buy the new one bigger is better :)
Thanks a lot for the nice replies. :)
And thanks Magneto for the wacom tips, I went there and checked out the prices. But unfortunatly im a full time student, so Im not working atm, so no money :(
But as soon as the summer comes, Ill make it a priority.
Meanwhile, back to paper sketches... drew another warrior (I love drawing them).
But the problem with paper sketches is that I dont have a scanner, nor nice inking pen, so the webcam picture is often faded.
Im in a great situation lol... no wacom, no scanner, no inking pen. =P
hehe
http://www.geocities.com/bronze_bladers/Valkyre.jpg
Its awesome, even if it is a little faded. I can't wait for your Wacom pictures!
waoo another great job Sagess :)
you can make it lighter and more clearer if you use photoshop or any similar programs
thank you thank you! :)
I did use the brightness/contrast, and adjusting curves in photoshop, but it didnt get much better. I also tried loading the chanel as selection and deleting the brighter parts to keep only the outline.
But either process were harming the picture too much. The best would be to ink it on paper then take another picture when the sun is out and strong... but winter is coming, so I wont be seeing any sun until april :P
I am getting very busy with university and a with the management of a club I joined. So i dont think Ill be working on anything for some months now. :(
Hopefully Ill be dropping by to see YOUR pictures ^^

http://board.flashkit.com/board/
Yay! Melmann!!

supurb fantastic excellent wonderfully magnificent work... as usual!
the Hellboy pic is beyond good, puts 2000AD artists to shame!
man i gotta draw more!
waoo melmann that's impressive stuff
dont remember if i ask you before but is that done with PS
or is it done by pencil? looks by pencil though
and one more thing what resolution do you use when you make your drawings with PS?
thanks :)
Olly K
Yeah its been awhile I need to not be away for so long. Thanks! glad to see you here still!
nayades
Good Stuff! I like the one on the left more prolly cause of the way it looks on the yellow bg. Love the graphic feel.
xup878
Thanks man! Really good to see you here too. Im gonna try and make it a point to post more. And I hope you guys do the same.
Magnetos_II,
its pencil scanned into photoshop and saved as a jpeg. The original images were drawn onto regular copier paper and I use a mechanical pencil with a 0.5 lead. I scan them in at a 150 dpi resolution.
Hope that helps.
Hope to see everyone including me post more ;)
Peece,
Mel
Amazing work melman! The first one being my favorite.
Good stuff nayades. I prefer the one on the right- The color's are awesome, it's got sort of a faded 30’s classy sort of look to it.
This one's sort of a random sketch from back at the beginning of my arrow phase... It was done on a handout durring class... so the paper is blue.
Edit: I hadn't even realized this, but Lincoln has his arm around a broomstick with crude breasts attached to it... Normally I wouldn't even bother mentioning it, but I figured the distasteful nature warranted some sort of "warning", no matter how unnecessary or ridiculous it may be.
Melmann - inspirational stuff! I particularly liked the last one; kind of alien frankenstein drawn by Picasso!! Juicy...

heyy looking good... btw forgot to mention I love the ragged/torn clothes, the folds, and... how the heck do you shade so smoothly without leaving any obvious painting marks? hehe it's so smooth and perfect! Lemme guess: magic, right? :D
Did a sketch last night that I really like, but I won't put it up any time soon, too busy w/ homework, no time to scan stuff.

English can be quite frustrating sometimes :)
