I drew a bunch more tiny heads

Image isn't loading for me.

Matty: Looks like NCR soldiers from New Vegas. The knives could use some reworking.

I think the head is a bit broad? Not sure, anatomy is not something I have a good feel for.
Other than that I like it!

The Knife looks like a shard and the rest of the soldier looks fine to me,good job.

IT ES EN EYE



A rough one at that, but gotta start somewhere.

Cool we do have an art thread here.

anyways, Coalition soldier about to crush a dummy with a dropship in the background.

Took about 30-40 minutes total, 5 of those looking up how the Coalition soldier looks and studying minute details.

I got bored, and was impressed by the last drawing so I decided to make it... IN COLOR

... showoff, *grumbles*.

anyways, that is pretty damn good, coloring and shading were never really my strong suits, so nice job.
was the dropship hard to color? or did you just not like it much?

Well thanks! I wasn't trying to showoff either, just got bored. Technically I'm not very good at coloring and shading either, I use very very very simplistic methods of shading... And the dropship was good! I just didn't feel like coloring it. Some of your proportions are off and it is a bit disfigured, but you did a surprisingly good job on actually getting all the details in there.

Proportions were hard on the soldier, that's for sure.

and you wouldn't believe how annoying getting all the little details of the dropship were.

I really need to sort out the painting of this robot, this painting was started about two years ago goddamnit. I just can't get it right.
sometime in 2010: http://i.minus.com/jhYzlYyMUHJMt.png

The perspective seems sort of all over the place, I can't even tell if it's supposed to be a 3D landscape or a game-style 2D cross-section

Yeah, this looks better. But there is no perspective for the scene, all objects are rendered from (roughly) the same (object independent) perspective (i.e 3/4 view)... Except the rocket and terrain but I can't really get around the terrain since it's a slice away and there is no depth to show. I admit the lighting is ♥♥♥♥.

I guess it's just the 3D nature of the dropship door and the rock that the crab are standing on that's messing up my perception

Yeah, I'd choose either for a completely 2D or completely 3D (last I think would be nicest), since mixing the two doesn't quite seem to work. The robot looks promising, it's got a nice pose and I really like the overall concept of the scene (gotta love those flying dropship doors and engines).


Anyways, got a tablet for my birthday yesterday! I've been messing around with it for a while, it's a lot of fun.
It will take me some more practice and fiddling with stuff to get completely used to drawing with it, but overall it's pretty intuitive.

I always thought Snake and Adam Jensen looked a bit alike, so I went ahead and attempted to blend their faces.
