New Picture Exchange

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.

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

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

and mel i wish my 'doodles' were that good, hell i wish my drawings were that good! been thinking of t3? that guy looks a bit like arnie and then the woman robot too hmmm?

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?

Aaaaah, pixel art, my favorite :

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!
