Title: Sketch dump!
Post by: Unknown Target on December 11, 2003, 07:02:01 pm

Here's a bunch of my latest sketches. They're not too great, but what the heck :D

Sketch 1: CUTE AND FLUFFY!

Sketch 5: The Me109G (or Bf109G, if you prefer) was drawn completely from memory

Sketch 6: Concept for a pilot for my campaign. Head is a bit too big, and right arm is messed up. Otherwise, I think it's ok :)

Sketch 7: WIP action cockpit shot. I'm gonna work more on it tonight.

Cut and paste them. Its not the links. Its the server. The server the files are on is reading the HTTP-REFERER header and bouncing connections back to the referrer. Cutting and pasting into a new window will make sure your browser sends a blank referrer, and thus let you see the pics.

Mind you, the server is hella slow, so you'll probably give up in disgust like I did.

you know, you could possibly maybe perhaps resize them just a teensy bit.

:wtf:





Anyway. What I can see looks quite good. Some of the load times were pretty horrendous, though for some reason it varied from picture to picture. You've got a noticeable style going on, and it's a good one, and naturally you get bonus points for not trying to imitate ****tily-made anime.

Can't say much more than that, as I know jack **** about the type of sketching you're doing here. The characters aren't very detailed, and some shapes aren't exactly realistic, but the former I suppose is kinda the point at the basic stage it looks like most of these are supposed to be in and the latter really doesn't matter.


EDIT: Picture loaded- one thing, those eyeballs on the pilot are huge. More realistic facial proportions would be desirable unless you're trying to make the character cutesy for some reason (it isn't really successful if that's the goal, which seems improbable given the function, but it's your thing, maybe you want eyeballs that take up 2/3 of the head capacity. Gray alien crossbreed?).

the pictures are too big.

the superhero dude looks like spiderman. go the cloak!

stryke, why do you want it to be realistically proportioned? isnt it supposed to be a cartoon, where things get exaggerated? then again i may be wrong. it seems fine as it is, obviously it needs more polishing but i mean the initial sketch.

you know what would be really cool in that last, cockpit pic? some arms and legs.

The pilot in particular. Just seems from what he said that he wants realistic, not cartoony.

in that case, the whole face style (the body suit thing's cool) isn't really suitable.

I'm still experimenting with faces, tho, that's why it's so funky (I usually do what I did with the superhero guy, i.e, nothing :D)

superhero guy has a top of the head, not a face... well, sort of.

or does he? i thought those lines near his chin were his features, like all squished up the way perspective is when you look down at someone's head.
