But you actually have to make it, not just modify something, would be too easy :p
Title: Artist's Battle Royale
Post by: Ace on March 27, 2004, 12:36:49 am: I might as well have made a model from scratch considering how much of a pain in the butt it was to port the poser character :p

The clothing is mine, I saw some stuff on Renderosity and didn't want to pay the cash so I did as good of an "inspired work" as I could off of the product photos with a few tweaks. (Sure pirating would be easier, but I've never gotten one of those filesharing programs to work right) I'm not the world's best modeler so it means that they don't have any fancy morphs or cloth simulation though, so that's why it looks pretty rigid.

I'm pretty happy with the way the procedural textures turned out though.

The baret and rifle are an experiment using primitives to form the shapes.

But hey, I'm slowly but surely getting better at modeling, eventually I can scrap the cheesy poser figures :)

Consider it an original collage' Venom ;)

French Resistance, eh? That's what a baret does to you I guess :)

Title: Big Guns.
Post by: Atalhlla on March 27, 2004, 10:46:36 am: Well, okay, so she doesn't have big big guns, but they're kinda big, anyway.
And if you don't know what I mean, see fer yaself (http://www.boomspeed.com/atalhlla/big-guns.gif) :P

And, ofcourse, detail on the guns she's weilding. (http://www.boomspeed.com/atalhlla/guns.gif)

I know, it was drawn kinda quickly and without too much direction, which kinda ruined it. I still kinda like her, though. The guns could prolly have been drawn better.

Yay for big guns!

By the way, Turnsky do you recommend I go over the final lineart in think black marker before scanning, and then erase as best I can all the sketchy lines and so forth? I'm always reading about people using India Ink pens and all these sophisticated sounding items which I have no idea what they are, all I gots is a thing Sharpie type deal.

i use a gel ink ball-point for foxfire, only 'cause it's more durable for the speedy inkwork i usually have to do for the comic.

Post by: Atalhlla on March 28, 2004, 10:58:16 am: Up until my house ate it (like 6 months ago), I used a .05 mm Copic as my liner. :P
As far as I've seen, though I'm prolly wrong, there's not much difference between the Copics and Pigmas, aside from colour selection.

I dunno, it depends what you're shooting for. One picture I drew awhile back I just rough sketched pencil, then went over it with a small sepia pen, and left the pencil in. Some, I ink with a pen, erase the graphite, then colour. And I've never used India inks, before. I'm still in the position where I don't know what half (more than...)that stuff is. Best to work with what looks good to you. If there 're lotsa little details or something, I wouldn't suggest a big marker :P On the other hand, if you want it to have thick lines, go on ahead.
Personally, I wouldn't go larger than a 0.5 mm pen for line art, but that's just me.

Have fun with your art, and enjoy creating!

Post by: Rictor on March 28, 2004, 03:59:23 pm: WIP, but you get the idea

(http://home.cogeco.ca/~llebl/blabla1.gif)

Now, in her left hand she could either be holding a flag or some sort of flare/grenade. Any ideas? I wasn't really thinking when I drew it. I could put that nice world domincation thing I drew up on the flag...

edit: Is it clear that she is holding a gun, or does it look like she has a "gun hand" like megaman? I thought it was pretty clear that the gun is obscuring her hand, that why you don't see it, but then again I drew it so I'm not a casual observer.

She's clearly got everything in place to be a female. Just don't like to overdo it. Plus, the waist is too small for a guy. And the hair and lips.

You've been watching to much anime, with chicks on unreal and unappealing proportions ;);)
____

I coloured the WIP, just for kicks. I'm going to re-scan the picture when I've done he lineart in pen or marker, so please keep in mind that this lineart is very, very rough and messy. Some of the colouring wil probably change as well.

Post by: Rictor on March 29, 2004, 11:40:59 pm: Hey guys, where is everybody? I guess you're all silent cause you're working hard on the drawings. :D:D

I'm working on mine and have the lineart done and ready to be scanned. I already worked out the colours on a rought scan, so colouring should go quickly.

The thing is, I've two version of the picture in my head, both in art and in colour. But I have to get both these version from the same piece of art, which means I'll have to draw in the changes on the same illustration and then remove them in photoshop.,

We should have this every month, it makes me get up and start drawing. I've been drawing for a long time, but in the past few years its been kind of scarce. And now, when I get myself to sit down and draw, I'm loving what I come up with. Seriously, every month we should get a theme going and then square off. That would be fun.

okay, a few things..
1) i'll let somebody else decide the next artist's battle Royale theme and ground rules 'cause i'd be a little biased.. ;)
2) i'll be kinda busy with the new look for foxfire so don't expect much input from me..
3) i'm gonna post a process to how i /create/ a panel of foxfire, which will be in another topic, stay tuned... it's gonna be from sketch to near the finished point (after dialogue).
