Post by: J.F.K. on May 02, 2003, 06:35:59 am: Whoa, awesome. :yes: With that pose, if you could pull it off, it'd be cool if an arrow or something was flying past his face (he looks like he's dodging something). Can't wait to see that inked.

Post by: pyro-manic on May 02, 2003, 08:45:05 pm: Cool!

He'd fall over, though. That's a really bad stance for using a sword, especially a broadsword (I know about these things - I've won the Welsh U18 Sabre championship three times ;7 ) . He wouldn't be able to do anything with his feet there - move the left one more under his body, to give him something to support his weight on....

....unless he's flying, in which case ignore everything I've just said! :) Looks very good. :yes: :yes:

Post by: Turnsky on May 04, 2003, 01:26:34 am: the blade itself i took inpsiration from the soul reaver..
Title: Sheepy.. as promised
Post by: J.F.K. on May 04, 2003, 01:54:52 am: Having regained consciousness, the only gripe I have with it is that the blade of the sword doesn't have much definition (blurry). But it's still awesome. ;)
Title: Sheepy.. as promised
Post by: Turnsky on May 04, 2003, 02:15:12 am: it's meant to be blurry.... high def energy swords just look glassy:p

Just feels a bit like you couldn't be bothered to put in the detail. Yeah, fine. :p ;)

that's what venom... i couldn't pull off a decent looking arrow so i made a 'energy bolt' of some kind, may have to move it tho..

Post by: Sheepy on May 04, 2003, 10:12:24 am: It looks like its glare of the feather atm, try angling it up slightly, and it looks sweet mate, awesome work :D :nod:
Title: Sheepy.. as promised
Post by: Turnsky on May 04, 2003, 07:19:14 pm: and i haven't even finished it yet ;)
Title: Sheepy.. as promised
Post by: pyro-manic on May 04, 2003, 07:29:31 pm: :yes: :nod: :yes:

Sweeeeeet.

For the energy bolt thingy, you could have him blocking it with the sword - the pose is just right for that. :yes: :)

Bloody good work, mate. VERY impressive! :cool:

Post by: Sheepy on May 05, 2003, 06:46:02 am: :drool: thats the best work i seen you done yet mate (i think anyway, could just be that its mine :D) keep it up mate i see real prospects for you :nod:
Title: Sheepy.. as promised
Post by: J.F.K. on May 05, 2003, 07:27:53 am: Okay, now that it's done, I'll give you a sustained critique. :D

The guy is drawn beautifully. It mystifies me to this day how you turn that *points to pencil drawing* into that *points to finished product*. Don't tell me though, it might spoil the magic. ;) The inking is also sweet, I like the wings and his shirt in particular. Sword is... still a little blurry, :p but I like it. :yes: The energy bolt looks cool clashing with his sword like that; and lastly, the background... the starfield and nebula are nice, but the planet is just perfect. Gotta hand it to you, dude. Dunno how you gonna improve on this one, it's that good :p
