I have acquired art tablet!

I suck with it.



actually here's somethin yall aught to like.

maybe I aint so bad with a tablet after all eh?

Don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ this is but something about it makes me want to share it.

Well, there certainly is something oddly appealing about it. Can't quite put my finger on it, but hey!

@Bombzero: Ooo, that's a pretty neat Coalition dude there! Helmet looks a bit WW1, but i guess that's how the Coalition helmets look on the promo art as well. Probably just me being partial towards modern helmets. :U

In other news, i shall now violate your eyes with another of my ventures outside of pixel art.


Made in Paint because the competition rules dictated it. Full title? ANGRY SALMON LEAPS OUT OF WATER AND PUNCHES MAN WITH HUGE HEAD AND BOWLER HAT IN THE FACE. Because ♥♥♥♥ thoughtful titles, FISH FIST. Or alternatively, SALMON PUNCH.

sounds like one of those oddities idea generators spit out.

anyways, made something while just screwing around with my tablet today.



oh and does anyone know some good digital art tutorial sites?

that tree looks like... a green cotton swab. that's not what trees look like.

yeah wasnt quite going for realistic obviously. lol.

anyways, currently working on a sketch for something atm, may have something cool here sometime today.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but getting a tablet doesn't magically make you good with art.

Try practing more simple stuff first, like a cube in perspective, then move on to more complex shapes like cars and houses.

im quite aware of this, obviously I am practicing quite a bit, and obviously the scene on the last page was just a scribble made out of boredom.

This here might help (spoilered for large)

There's a couple of good art tutorial sites at the bottom too.

Glock 17 non refferenced sights because geti told me to and I need to get comfortable with blender.

I've wanted to do a comparison thing:

Still got a ways to got obviously, but I know I'm getting better.

Soldier on left has more character.

But the one on the right is not only more defined, but also has a deeper feel.
Ignoring my artsy fartsy comment, I can see an excellent improvement between the two pieces and wish to congratulate you, well done!

You should redraw marine mcbadass now if you really wanna see how you've improved.

Edit: Moar pistolery, ~790 tris atm. Will most likely optimize it and use it for something cool.



Edit: Aight done, still need to texture, rig, remove duplicate fire controls but that's pretty much it.


2832 faces, could be cut down to 1000 with minimal quality loss I suppose...

I like. Is it for that "Receiver" game?
I think the hammer should be more wide and more square, a minor annoyance. Aside from that it seems pretty accurate (gun pun!).
