Work in progress

Very nicely done. Proportions are well laid out, and I'd see this as being a good likeness of ya mate. All I can suggest is that some darker shadows could be used, say in the ear and below the jawline. It looks a tad flat, but seeing the only light is coming from the monitor, it could be expected. Really pay attention to lighting.

One thing you could try is adding a secondary light source, say from behind his head, so it'd softly light up edges of his ear, a little along his jawline, etc. Best way to bring it out would be to use a coloured light. It doesn't need to be harsh, as subtle lighting can work really well. Experiment a little. A coupla references while I think of it. Both by Dhabih Eng:

Another point you could try is concentrating on the eye. It's always glistening with wetness, and he's infront of a screen, so some sharper reflections could really bring it out. Adding a bit more shading as the eyeball enters the head would aid in making it a bit more spherical looking.

I love how you've used some light grays edging on blues. Mixing in a bit of red/pink to the skin might 'flesh' it out a little more too. But yes, keep up the good work! Expect to see more life drawing from ya @:-)

Nice start man.
Brain covered most of it, good to see your using various colours under the skin instead of just trying for skin pink. I'd recommend staying away from a profile shot, lacks interest and emotion, try a 3 quarter view etc.
Its a little hard to see if you got the likeness right, post a pic of your mate if you have one handy.
Also work on the hair more.
great start though and kudos to your mate for staying still for 5 hrs. [:P]

Not bad, but not great either. It looks extremly flat. You need to give it a bit more contrast between the highlights and shadows. You also seem to be suffering (slightly) from drawning in symbols, by that I mean lets say you see an eye and your brain tells you 'this is what an eye looks like, draw this'. You aren't really "seeing" the contours. I'm not trying to be harsh it's just you have the general proportions correct it's just these things are letting you down.

Thanks for the feed back guys.

I?ve been working on it a little more over the last few days while trying to think of my next project.

- Brain: The likeness of my mate is there but not really, the 2d out line looked more like him so I?m not sure were I went wrong. On the other hand the original drawing was out of proportion so that?s saying something about his head. [:p]

I tried to get that second light working but I don?t think it was really what you mean. I tried lighting up the side of the head a little and added some light to the ear and neck areas. I also added a bit more red/pink into the head so it doesn?t look like his sitting in the freezer anymore.

Thanks for the pictures, I had a good look at Dhabih Eng?s site. I noticed he has moved on from how I?m rendering to a more traditional art style. I tried ?Painting? like that but I just made a mess so hopefully as I continue I?ll get to that stage.

- Malus: I drew the outline with out my mate knowing about it and he was sitting right across from me hence the profile shot. In future I will be more serious about the pose and not do something so plane.

I don?t have a picture or digital camera handy so it would be a while before I could get a picture up. Either way I did the hair up for you. The lighting in this room is pretty bad so its hard to work on something as dark as hair.

By the way my mate was only sitting there for like an hour as he was having fun drawing his own pictures using MS paint. So yeah, not 5 hours.

- Groady: I have tried to work on the light and dark areas a lot more trying to get it to look a less flat. Don?t worry about being harsh either ?Pain is for the weak?. Nah I?m enjoying this a lot and I would like to do more in the future so I?m not going to crawl under a rock and die. I?ll just try my best to learn and improve on the quality of my art.

Once again thanks for the feed back. I?m posting the same link that has been updated with the original and the new image.

Please if I haven?t added or gone off totally in the wrong direction give me a slap and we will see what we can do. [xx(]

I think you need to add more texture to the face (if you are going for a real look.) because the skin looks to clean and smooth.

You don't have a photo reference of that face do you? Or are you really trying to make it look stylised?

Anyway, the shape of the ear is really nice but it doesn't seem to fit into the style of the face. The hair is another thing, hairs usually don't grow in those directions...the ones above the ear.

The profile shot is not bad for emotion but its pretty hard to pull off.

looking like your off to a good start, could see Jubei wipeing some demons butt all over it. [;)]

Nice.

A skillful blow. But first you must realise I CANNOT BE CUT!

Operator! I need an exit NOW!!

*makes sword clashing noises*

Uhmm...yes, very good. @;-P Finish that sucker off!

I like it a lot, you could really do it up more with a lot more detail in there. [:D]

I notice you file name suggested that it was a dojo. To me it looks more look a temple, hence the big bell and the steps raising up to the main floor. If it were a dojo I would lose the bell. I don?t think if I was trying to concentrate on my training I wouldn?t want a huge bell ringing above me.

You also have the whole Japanese style to in. in that case you should add some of those paper and bamboo doors (I think its bamboo). Probably add it to the windows as well to keep things looking stylized.

i dont think the bell will be ringing every minute USF :)

hell.. most places of learning have a bell of some kind..

yay bell!

*pokes Brain in the butt with a katana*

but you can be PIERCED!!

mwuahaha

nice work trankillity, are you going to texture it up?

That... is feggin' awesome! Really gave those concepts life dude!

Looking great, its got a strange (but good) look to it, cute yet not. The beast looks great, a little funny but thats just because you raised the self illumination and it has no shadows.

Great work

Pantmonger

had this been in the challenge it would have won

Brain: Flattery will get you everywhere lol. glad you like it man.
Pants: thanks mate, hes meant to be a nomadic loner merchant come hero, pretty much your typical accidental antihero kinda stoof, true about the beast, lazy lighting is me. Why are shadows so dark with max's default lights?
Pointy: you rock buddy. [:P]

Damn cool, I love it. Just one thing the texture size look a little funny. I know it is in side the comp out lined, but because of the size of your beast, and the small character the two look like they wouldn't be in the same game. Because of the higher res of the rider. Maybe you can get some of the object from the steed and add them to the characters map to give them both about the same texture res. Could work, but i think it is out side the out lines of the comp.

Because you were to use One map of each, not one and a half for one and a half one for the other. I was going to add the sword and shot gun to my characters map which would have fit in side the out line of the comp, and help the res problem of having a big steed. Because they could be called apart of the character. which I was thinking about in the design of my model. Which I think you may have over looked, in the design of yours.

cool stuff to, would have like to seen the winner out of you and chris.

I didn't actually overlook the difference in size, its quite obvious lol.
It just wasn't going into a game engine so I thought what the hell used what was given in the comp then I went over the limit and just kept it because hey it looks better and Im entering the model in another comp without the beast.

For ingame work I would compress the riders map size to 512 and keep the beast at 1024, or maybe even 256 and 512 if it was for consoles etc.
The riders map is easily compressed with relitively little lose in detail.

Yeah, But i think the models would had went together better if the res of the two were closer, which I think would have had a bareing on a few voters. [:)] It was also points out by a few poeple here, one of the reason I pointed it out.

Cool model anyway, are you going to do some animation on it??

very nice work malus.... [:)] i dunno crap about games modelling as much as u guys, that was the second low poly model i have ever built i think i need advice from a QANTM teacher and u too DOORD.... [:D] oh yeah Malus why not give it a kool GI light ? cause ur renders seem a bit dark and also pants' renders, i dunno just a thought maybe im wrong ? [:)]

Sure am animating them [:)].

You are right about the different res, but as I said its not done for an engine, they are seperate models really.
If they were to be in the same game/comp/whatever the mapping would be done in comparison to size.

Chris:
I was rendering it with GI lighting but it was taking too long lol, wanted to pimp it hehe.
As for the images being dark, its wierd they're too dark for you, too light for my friend and great on my system so I guess its just different monitors.
BTW I have a 21" sony trinitron flat screen set to adobe colour specifications so I'm pretty sure my colours are quite accurate but you never know i guess.[:P]

For your second model it was great stuff, just needed a little optimising etc and a bit more time on the texture I thought, great character design though man.
Not that you need it but if you want just send us an email with any questions and I'll be sure to try help with what I can.

Damn chris got me paranoid now lol.
Anyone got a link to a monitor colour setup thingy whatsit? This dark images comment happens alot to me when I post and I want to make sure once and for all its not the screen I shelled out 1200 clams for!!

Cheers ladies and gentlemonkeys.

Far from dark on mine. This lil...uhm... Tatung monitor. Damn thing won't even run my Dreamcast... *grumbles*

[url="http://www.werbefoto.at/d_base/calibration.htm"]Calibrate your monitor[/url]

hehehe yeah i went to work and had a look at ur stuff malus it was dark [:)] all our monitors are calibrated as true RGB and some are calibrated at CMYK and are sony monitors too, even mine at home is a mitsubishi 22 inch and still came out dark [:)] i think thats why u mentioned my colours are burning on my texture sheet ? but yeah try to calibrate ur monitor if it needs one you dont wanna get colours wrong [:)]

Just recalibrated and it was pefect already, wierdness going on.
All the monitors here seem to show it fine also and they are calibrated both rgb and cmyk on different machines.

Argh my minds hurting about this one.

BTW, If my monitor is set lighter than yours your textures would look lighter to me not burnt. [:P]

[:)] yeah dats some crazy stuff hehehe oh wells everyone has different monitor settings just can't tell which is a true image colour [:D]

Also i wish had more time on my hands as well... cause i didn't get to optimise me steed and also tidy up the texture, im stuk wif a lot of projects which pretty much suxors and fun at the same time [:p]

It looks unlit to me...

and what Gamma should my monitor be? It seems that it's 1.95 acording to this thing o_O

oh, and I forgot to meantion that it looks AWESOME :)

Chris: Know what you mean, Ive got a few things on the go at the moment, still have to upload my new website which has been sitting there for the past month lol.
Also been pretty slack the last 2 weeks, had some freelance stoof I had to do and work of course(shameless excuses bah).

Want comp 4 to hurry up, otherwise I'll get to caught up in personal stuff to enter.

redwyre: yeah it is unlit, well self lit. [:P]
Lazy bugger hey.
No idea what gamma setting you should have man.

Thx for the comment too.

Wow!! I love this one Malus, quality work :)
It looks like something I would see out of a PS2.
I totally love the Glud model

This looks great Malus! I love the little guy especially.

You have a very vibrant and smooth texturing style. It's just a suggestion, but I think those textures would look even better if you added shadows and specular highlights to them. They seem a little flat at the moment. Like they have diffuse lighting, but no specular or shadows. Ofcourse it really comes down to the style of that you are trying to achieve. I guess what I'm getting at is more the quake3 style of texturing.

Dazking has a good tut on this approach at this site [url]http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/kingscastle/tute_1.htm[/u…]

Please don't take this as criticism, I really like what you've done! It's very indicative of the style you see in a lot of platformer games. Spyro the dragon comes to mind... but it might just be the purple. Anyway, it's just an idea as to how you could develop your mad skillz :)

Thanks Ionized, agree with the lighting call, but its actually washed out because of the self illuminated texture, got lazy and didn't light it properly. [:(] The actual texture is alot better when lit right.

I have that tut on my drive, I'm an absolute whore for trying to steal everyones skills and techniques boo ha ha, if only I could get Bobo the Seals brain for a day!

I'm glad you think it looks a guy from a platformer game, that was sort of my intention, Final fantasy-esque rpg but with cutesy characters.

Overall nice, but two suggestions.

1. Change that colour, that bright orange with black burns the eye and screws with your colour vision. Not the best thing when you are pimping your art.

2. The thumb nails could do with being a bit larger, I can hardly see them.

Pantmonger

Yeah I was thinking the orange wasn't really working. It's now a soft aqua.

much better than orange but its a little sparce.
If youve got lots of content to fill up the site then the thumbnails may be ok but I learnt with mine that small thumbnails hiding in the corner looks like you just havent done much, enlarge them and have a scroll bar or archive for when you have too many images.

Also the text in the top left corner (not the large blue one, the black text)looks bad, im guessing its a placeholder.

Apart from that its nice and clean, add some content. [:D]

Not bad. Did you use a reference? You have some nice work on your site too :P

Lovely work! It's a nice drawing style you have there - reminds me of the style of some Hong Kong comics that I have (I have no idea how to read them - my friend was about to throw away a box full of it, but I grabbed them [:)]). Did you draw it entirely in Photoshop? The faces has a very pencil look about them..

Yeah I used some reference but they don't look much like the references.
It was all done in Photoshop 7 with a tablet. Maybe it has a pencil feel to it because I usually draw with pencils.

Spunky! @:-D

Crits: his hand and weapon need a bit more attention to shadowing, as they're too well lit at the moment. The shoes kind of stand out too in that department, but it's more subtle. The police car isn't on the same plane as it's surroundings. The bottom of it should be more visible than it currently is, seeing as the viewer is below the horizon line. Some darker shadows on the window divider might be needed, as the light from the car is shining directly to it and would be the harshest light of the scene. A shadow from the divider down heading towards the viewer would probably exist too. And I'm not entirely sure, but the street sign could be a bit off perspective, though probably not by much.

The building looks a little flat. Perhaps adding some depth to the windows would aid this. Something else in the background could spice it up, eliminating just having stars. Perhaps some buildings, or a street light/traffic lights... something to suggest a bit more 'city'. Thinking along those lines, not so many stars would be seen in the bustling city area.

Hope my crits are semi-welcomed. @:-) It's a really great piece which tells a story I want to know more about. Look forward to seeing more of your fat art.

looks sorta futuristic max-payneish

but cool none-the-less

Brain: Most of your crits are what people are generally telling me, so you're on the ball there [:)]. The main figure was one of the latest things painted and still needs some work (if this was a 'real painting' the paint would still be wet). I am definately removing the stars. They haven't moved since the first block-in an are just there as a place-holder for now.

StrkEagle: I was going for a futuristic theme so glad it's working.

Expect to see more detail in the next version... and lots of blood! [;)]

Thanks for the comments. Here's the updated version. This is pretty close to my original concept. Just in the process of putting the finishing touches on it.

nice billboard

Thanks for the feedback guys. Finished pic.

[img]http://www.fatarts.com/images/fugitive.jpg[/img]

Nice work there dude! Seeing it textured will be a treat. Only thing I can comment on is that the grip looks a tad short. However, it may fit your model perfectly, so take that with a grain o' salt.

Thanks, you are prob right about the length of the grip, (shows how much I know about guns) After I make the character model I'll see how it fits and change it if it is too short.

Thanks again.

Pantmonger

Argh Pants is modelling weapons, lol.
Looks cool man, Amber will kick butt with that gun, I like the laser sight.
Have you modelled it so the lever action works?

quote:Originally posted by Malus

If by that you mean, does the top bit slide back, then yes it does.

I'm so gun illeterate. [?]

Pantmonger

Yep thats what I meant [:)]

You dirty pacifist, every boy should have learnt how to clean and load a gun in 20 seconds by the age of 4, what are ya, soft?!
*hhhhhoooi-k, splat* Malus hocks up a manly lugey while adjusting his boys.

Looks great. Only thing I would say is that the laser scope could be a bit bigger. I was watching predator 2 the other night and I noticed those things were pretty big, even bigger than the gun barrel in most cases.

Other than that, it looks sweet man.

Malus: Cool, I learned-ed somethun new. :)

Ionized: Thanks, I'm keeping the scope at that size, the character is from a short while into the future so the electronics have gotten smaller, at least that my justification cause I like the way it looks.

Brain: Just modeled the characters hand and yeah the grip is to short, it will be made longer.

Pantmonger

Not sure.. I've always wanted Sumea to host independant game projects, but I don't have 11 megs to spare, unfortunately [:(]

Upload it to your webspace that your ISP gave to you, or try to compress it further etc.

personally, i think that disney raped squaresoft for making that game. Ral horrorshow model but. nice work.

Did you know Donalds birthday was last monday June 9. Nice work too.

I loved kingdom hearts, kiddy yes but one of the few games i've played lately that was fun! gj with donald

looks good.. nice smooth shading.

The perspective seems a teeny bit off on the right eye (But I'm no expert), but other than that, brilliant.

Very Nice indead, I love the painted look to it. Only crit from me is that the bottome of her ear just seems ot stop and become part ofher jaw and neck, but if that was intentional then not so much a crit as a statement of preference.

But great stuff.

Pantmonger

OMG your a damn awesome concept artist =) do u do 3D ??? man ur concepts will look so good in 3D

keep up the good work !!!

CLUNK....that was the sound of my jaw hitting the ground.

That is very cool.
I agree with pants on the ear thing, there is something off in its anatomy.
Hell, the only reason you notice is because the rest is so damn cool. :)

hey thanks for the positive response, I have done some more work on this one, although I didn't fix the ear :P

Chris, I don't do any 3D work, but it might be something for me to look into in the future. Thanks :)

[img]http://www.shawawa.com/misc/Woodelffin.jpg[/img]

GO for 3D LEE ive seen the best concept artists use 3D and my gosh their amazing ( For example Feng Zhu and many more ).
Love this second image u uploaded !!!nice touch of colour and surroundings =) i dun mind the ear its very stylized and something new top job....

looks great :) though i do like the white eye better~

yes awesomely cool and the white eyes does look better

Hmm... i'm hesitant to comment since I'm just a n00bie when it comes to art. But it seems to me that the right eyelashes could be better defined, there is some small ambiguity regarding whether she has her eye open wide or closed since the bottom lashes are more prominent than the upper ones.
Well.. that's my 2 cents, otherwise, a very kewl drawing.

*runs*

sick as drawing...i personally like the orange glowing eyes. Like a few others have said, try doing it in 3D, would look awesome

I like the blue plant things you've added to the background....

You could make this even better if her face was painted more life like since it one of the main focal points. I find that the thing she's wearing on her neck makes people look at her face more.

Damn thats cool .. whats up with all the talent around here,.. you guys rock,.. looks like ima have to draw more and hopefully scratch something up that looks half as decent as most of this stuff!! o_O

oh my goodness! thats amazing! the contrast is exelent and the definition is sweet! i love the colours too, very very professional piece of art there :)
what program did u use? painter? it looks a bit like photoshop in some parts and painter in the other. very very cool.

First up ... WHY?

not really my fav style but on a purely technical level id say they are well done, your girls are a little to masculine although that could be the style your after.

Still pretty impressive for the time your taking to do them.

Cool pants, hey I'd by a chibi version of myself, may not be everyones cup of tea but I'm sure you'll get a few extra bucks for them.

It's definitely an option. It falls into the same line as charactures, and they do pretty well. Self portraits etc are not only a nice way to get a little bit of money together, but builds up your experience levels. So why the heck not? @:-)

Dan_Ward: Why? I thought I covered that with the extra cash bit. Im not sure what you mean with the girls being masculine. Thanks for the complement.

Malus: Thanks, I hope I can, just got to get a little faster

Brain: Thats what I figured, seen a lot of characture artist around of late and most are not that good, so I though I should get into that racket, but I didn't want to add to the saturation so I thought Chibi. Hopfully it will work out well.

Pantmonger

The girls look manly because you made the arm (specifically 'resident chibi') lines too defined. Because girls generally have a more petite, thinner structure, you should probably straighten out her arms and legs so they look less 'fat' and more thick... if you know what i mean. at the moment they look a bit like wieght lifters.

sorry, i seem to be the only one here negitivly cridisising your work again... but they are really good.

t'was at the markets today, and was looking for anyone drawing chibi. @:-)

lol, no Im not there yet. Im real anal about my stuff so I wont be there untill Im sure I can do them in under 30min and I am happy with the quality.

Pantmonger

Um... I can't be your friend anymore with these strange new ...urges. [:P]

haha your much stronger as a girl pants..

Do you wear high cut undies like that irl? Forgive me for undressing you with my eyes next time we meet. [:P]

Scott.

Malus: oh, Don't worry about me I won't do anything *Bats eyelashes*

lava_monkey: Funny ain't it. Its because I drew it the same day as I modeled the fish man and was tooling around with his biceps. She Me is better then hE me in many ways.

reznOr: Yes, yes I do.

Well that covers all the people I know in real life, anyone else want to comment? Im watching you...

Pantmonger

I like the boots because of the nice details.

wow, look at the size of that pencil

I must say, you have a very nice style

what do you do with your lineart? where does it go?

quote:Originally posted by Jorsh

what do you do with your lineart? where does it go?

I just deop it out or fade it to abut 15% opacity on multiply unless for some reasion I want the line art present.

Pantmonger

well i really like the hair.

Well you look like you got some talent.
You need to work on your lighting, edges and colour theory...stuff like that for further improvment.

I love the soldier picture, and yeh, you've definately got talent. The female at the top picture - her face looks a bit off to me. Maybe her nose is too long or her bridge is too wide (it's been a while since I've had to divide a face up to their proper proportions..), or maybe it's just the shadowing.. your colouring/blocking in work is very cool - makes me want to go out and steal a wacom. :)

Stealing is bad mmmkay.
Had a look at the nose and it is slightly wide at the bridge. Gave it a mild work over. These things happen when you don't use a reference.

Thats some damn fine concepting there Lee.
As for making that your style well that really has to be a personal choice but I'd feel pretty proud of that work if I was you.

Very Sweet.

quote:'the art of Lee Smith' and concentrate on enhancing it?

Well thats up to you, I could never stop with one style myself. If I where you I would say keep developing new styles and constantly amalgamate until your own difinitive develops of its own accord.

But that could just be me.

Pantmonger

Very nice work Lee! I think it's important to be able to mimick various styles so don't just lock yourself down on one. From a critical stance the pic is slightly off on it's anatomy (im no genious) but the legs are too long and causing the upper torso to appear a bit short. However it is a cool concept so it's easly overlooked. Keep up the good work! [:)]

Yeh, I agree the anatomy is a little bit off, unless you were going for a styalised approach. Arms and legs are a bit too long, but you can fix it up by lifting her upper body a bit, and give her more neck (I'd have her head and neck tilted back to follow the curved pose you have her in). Nice character design, and I love the pose you have her in. The flowing hair and cape is cool too.

i really like the colors your,ve chosen. it gives it a realy nice feel. but like the others said, the legs seem a bit long.

I think that the length of the arms and legs suits the character... it makes it more of an athletic

I know what you mean. I'm still going through that artistic identity crisis you described. Not really sure if I'm just still learning or if I'm searching for that natural style that all great concept artists seem to have.

I think your style is great. Theres a lot of poise and energy there. Aside from the anatomy criticisms, I would say that the only thing lacking is perhaps some attention to describing the nature of the materials. For example, I'm not sure if the armour she is wearing is made from wood or metal.

Aside from that, I looks awesome. I'm very jealous.

Cool, I love the flab under the man boobs, and the loose pants, tiss with the godness.

Pantmonger

Sweet as! @:-D

Man u are sick! Thats great stuff!

Updated the models progress above. :)
And yes Major Clod I am a little sick, but I only use my powers for goodness, never badness. lol

Nice big rounded cheeks and jaw. Most good.

Good finish, I like his hump

Pantmonger

That looks damn cool malus well done, id have to say its one of those models i see and go .. hmm thats cool i want to do something like that :)

Very cool model. Some serious manboob and love handle action happening there! :)

Finally finished my comp entry for cgtalks twisted fairytales.

[img]http://www.inkmancomic.com/dean/WIP/tweedlemoneyshot.jpg[/img]

Nicceeeeee.

I like, what the final poly count etc.

Pantmonger

Exactly what I said when I scrolled down and saw it:

"aaAAWWW FUCKEN MAD!!!" @:-D

3392 polys (tris) without ball and chain
4414 polys (tris) with ball and chain
4 x 256 x 256 textures

Thanks Pants/Brain, pretty happy with him too, will rework the pants and metal textures though.

Boy a whole 4 comments. [:P] Im animating him soon-ish

That looks great :D

Would have gone down well in American McGee's Alice a few years back.

Trankillity: American McGee actually checked it out on CGtalk and said it was cool. :P

Great work Malus :)
Nice mesh and textures

Fantastic model, has real character which is strangely enough getting kind of rare these days.

Only crit I can offer is to try and improve on your metals and fabrics - hard edging wrinkles where they pinch in at joints and smoothly flowing and evening out is key in fabrics. Your metals could really do with some rim highlighting. Other than that, pop the highlights a little more from your main topdown light source.

Looking good, keep it up

Thanks for that J.I, I try hard to give my characters a bit more depth, doesn't always happen but its good to hear you think I suceeded with this guy.

Your right about that metal and fabric, I was never happy with them, even the skin urks me actually, the shadows are too 'black'.
One of the things I'm really looking forward too at work is picking up my texturing skills so hopefully you'll be seeing some better quality in my personal work.

BTW, I like the way you critique, its a rare thing to have someone give constructive crits these days.

Aw shes so purdy.
Nice job man, like the boots and for some reason her hands. [:P]
Alita hath gravity defying styling creme in her hair.

Nice metal texture. I like the way you coloured the coat too, and the hair shine is cool.

Some nice stuff happenin' there. Yet to check out your homepage though.

Only Tassie dev I know of is Two Headed Software. Uhmm... http://www.sumea.com.au/sdevelopersprofile.asp?developer=41 is their profile on Sumea. Might have to hit the mainland, rustle up the Melbourne streets.

Looks like you're the right type of guy to do a bit of storyboarding..

Brain:
Thanks. My site is in stand by mode while I get all of my uni work done.

I checked out the Tassie developer you told me about. I gave them an e-mail asking if they employ 2D artists... I haven't recieved a reply yet.

Souri:
Storyboarding hey? Sounds like a good idea [:)] . Maybe I could look into doing a bit of concept art as well?

You've posted it upside down. [:P]
Great stuff yet again man though her gun hand is a little short even with the foreshortening.
Colour her!!!

Great line art as usual, nice neat and clean..

I like it, but i have issues with her waist.
Nice work but

Heh heh, niiiiiiice @:-D

Very cool models.. The Handgun looks awesome..

Done a bunch more models including the "Tommy Gun"

check them out at http://www.steelkey.com.au/oc/

heh, I like the Zippo and Dynamite ;)

HAHA!! Thats excellent man, you are the chibi master!! You must teach me my friend [:P]

oh yeah!

I love it, very sinister! It could do with a lense though, looks a bit funny at the moment. Hardly noticable though.

Its excellent. Ive always wondered though, what is that boxy thing on the end of the barrel? Ive always found it to look kinda weird.

I think that box thing is a flash supressor.

That looks friggin cool man. Reminds me of the AWP from counterstrike. You gonna texture it?

If this is for a game then you could prolly reduce the amount of detail. Things like the bolts on the floor support aren't really needed.

But then again if poly count isn't really an issue, looks great :D

very nice, makes me wanna kill something with it ;p

Nice, I think you have too many polys in the hand grip but the rest looks fine. The map is massive for this poly count. Might want to drop that to a 512 at least.

Excellent stuff Pants,
Its about time you did another of your super deformed guys.

He will bite the kneecaps of all those who oppose the Emperor!!

*Hugs the squirming space marine*

Thanks guys. Sometimes all this serious work in an attempt to get work, gets to me and I just have to do something cute. As for the other races, we will see.
