hey there bacon_man, I like your style! it's cool! simplistic can be really cool; it's a style! it's your style! I like it a lot! cool characters. I'd love to see them all in vectors. :D
ian, groovy robot dude! I like both the versions a lot... but if you have it the second way, it would show up better on a black background, like outer space, if that's what you have in mind... instead of having closely-linked limbs floating there; but I don't know what you have in mind for the game. they both are cool!
alright I made the picture of my friend last week, except the whole picture is rather insane (unelss you get to hang out with us after school, then you'd understand, haha) but I'll just extract the character from it and post it up sometime, probably like in a few minutes. :)
woo that was my 250th post. :smoov: here's the pic! (BTW he loved it. :D)
hey, I was working on my new site some more and decided to use a self-portrait I made a few months ago for the entry button. This isn't the actual button, but it's the self portrait picture thingee. tell me what you think!
I've been here for a little while and i mainly lurk with the occasional comment or two...so I decided to show my skills, this is my first picture that I drew on paper and colored and enhanced in photoshop...so be nice, lol.
Holding Earth
funky etahn, wish i had the patience for mad shading. :D
love the little pictures baconman, very stylised.. you seen http://www.little-gamers.com ?
daweb - hurts my head a little, but i'm jealous of the hand drawing. :D
something from me, which is nice.. bit of a suprise cause i've been sucking at art recently. :)

more pixel junk: pixelizing a mech i did in 3d a while ago.
lets just say things rendered and then zoomed in at 800% makes it hard to see whats what, especially on a mech :p
hoping to do shading and coloring after the basic outlines are done, then do a larger pixel image (mech workshop of some type)
http://www.openedsource.net/ian/mechpixel_3.gif
still needs legs, though.
hey thanks.Quote:

cool picture, you could put some rain in, to add atmosphere. (and give a reason for the umbrella! :D)
nice web site.
iv'e now added a simple animation to the fox.
Great stuff keeps filling this thread - I'll make it a point to comment on all those I've missed shortly.
In the meantime (since I feel guilty about not having contributed myself for a while, literally and figuratively), here's a self-caricature I did quickly last night for use in a bio - I'll attach the vector version to this same message when it's done.

wow I cant believe how many posts are here! Great stuff all!

Peece,
mel
Mel how did you get hold of a picture of me..lol
cool work as usual and the that applies to you all, i will post something soon..honest.
Toony
alright detailed comments, here we goooo!
daweb, good work! It's called "holding Earth" perhaps the ball that's being held in the right hand could have some green and brown on it to give it a more earthly appearance? just an idea!
ian, cool mech. hehe you could use all these cool pixel mechs/characters and make a game with them... isometric... maybe a space game, that would be coooool!
mastermute, good work on the vectors. perhaps some of the lighter shading on the top could be more sharp around the edges (looks drawn in with the paintbrush tool, which is fine, but perhaps it could be more straight, it kinda has a bumpyness to it)
lauradot, great girl! lol love the shading. I'd say one thing that could be improved is the fingers holding the umbrella... hands are one of the most challenging to draw... great work though!
CNO, love the quickie sketchie! when I started doing anime all my characters had eyes that big, perhpas even bigger. :D it's cool!
mel, I don't see how it's possible... to do that.... in one night! WOW! 'tis way cool! I'll post some monster/creature things I've made sometime, once I have them all figured out (interactive e-pets for my new website, hehehe)
I just finished a really cool watercolor painting today in art class... hard to explain, lol. it's got a giant piano keyboard flowing through the center of the painting, above and behind the keys is space with a blue moon, saturn and a big light burst, and I found when sketching it out that an eyeball would fit perfectly under the keys, so there's a huge eye, which is on top of lots of color streaks and a... hold on... (forgot most of the periodic table, hehe) an atom of something that has 3 electrons (used to know this stuff really well 3 years ago!) if I get a chance, I'll try to take a pic of it on a digitalcamera and post it. yay it's the weekend!! :D
Here is a logo I created for myself. It's me.

finally got to the legs of my mech.
they are boxy and probably wouldnt actually work but at this point im not overly worried about it
http://www.openedsource.net/ian/mechpixel_4.gif
edit:
added basic coloring

Well its not what i wanted to post but thought I'd better post something seeing I use to spend most of my days in here.
Its just something i'm working on at the moment (for a client), its not finished need's some facial features, shadows and a bkg, colours might change as well. I'm aiming for an old retro look.

I'm also trying to work on my Space Cadets cartoon (hard finding time at the moment) but once i've done something I will post an image.

pixel art gets to be *really* easy when you have an image to work from.
hey people,
I just did a wallpaper for st. patty's day, and so I present to you the st. patty's dude! hahaa
http://www.tahnee.com/sp2003.jpg

xup, interesting character you have there... kinda scary..
ian, cool ninja dude! nice work on the shading and shadows.
xup (again,) cool ninja dudes. did you make them or is that a font? if it's not already a font, is it possible to make it a font? :D
mom's been telling me to go to sleep, so I'll attach mr. st. patty dude now. :D
Man I love that retro look!:)Quote:

I was intending to add loads more, fill the whole 'canvas' with crazy stuff, but I didn't think it needed it, well actually I was too lazy but that's not the point :D

Peece,

Mel, we should ban you from these boards for being too god dam good...jk
It' been a while. A lot of great stuff here again. Lately I'm very very busy designing all kinds of fashion collections like this:
http://www.zero-tolerance.nl/images/ff5.jpg
I recently found these in my old Back up files. They are a few years old. I have made many illustrations for European companies with official Warner and Disney licenses.
All the designs for T-shirts I made had to go to different stages of approval in the USA.

hey guys!
mel, excellent panda!! great work!
gb, cool shirt designs. those taz and tweetys look like originals from the original artists! wow!
Olly K, that's a wicked cool wallpaper. aagh flying sheep!! I'll have to make a wallpaper of the peprally I went to today, and what should have happened, haha.
I've been doing lotsa homework, but I did another character last week, this time a skydiver. weeee!! haha. well I wanted the st. patty's dude to be happy, so... ah, mission accomplished. :D still haven't uploaded the wallpaper yet. I've been working on a new game for the past few hours. I'll try to do 2 or 3 more characters within this weekend! I'll post them all up!! keep up all the good work, guys!
hey people, I just did 3 more characters today. sorry about the quadruple posts here!
skater dude:
final one: self portrait of me sitting (I was looking in a mirror so it's backwards; I'm really right-handed, not that that matters much..)
e-Tahn your skater dude's cool, but then he's a skater, so he would be :D
your self portait, I don't actually know what you look like but if that's you in your avatar that's a pretty good charature, damn I can't spell it, I'm sure you know what i mean though :D
Hi all, just anouther sketch that I did last night using illustrator & PS it will eventually be part of a larger picture when I get around to it.
:D :D :D
http://www.pagpas.net/dude_x_col_iii.jpg
No too hard work actually... just wanted some feedback when I first posted this (on another site) :crazy:
<mm/>
thanks; I also drew my avatar :D
bk9ine, that's quite some sketch! nice colors and shading. turned out really good!!
mastermute, cool sketch there.... perhaps it could use some shading, and the pants need to be filled in, because the glow flows into them... unless you wanted it that way! overall, it looks good!
this is sort of a spammin' since i already posted this in the 3d forum, but i just really wanted to share:
http://board.flashkit.com/board/
^^ heh, my first 3ds max picture, all by myself :D
i just found this sticky...and wow...melmann's skills made my jaw drop. and a couple others too actually
hey fospher! great work for a firstie! I'd say improvements, or at least one, would be blending the water into the walls some, giving it capillary action (spelling?) or making it get that moldyish feeling.. great job though! impressive! I'll post a violin I made now. (all photoshop)
