This, but I just realized "Wait he DREW that, it's not a photo."

Tasty looking apple, Very good likeness to the ref image. Only thing that I spot off is the shadow, which is more green in the ref, shadows are rarely pure grey or black thanks to reflected light. Also the core shadow could be a bit darker.

@Shook: Thanks, glad I could help.

Thanks! Didn't notice about the shadow, gotta keep that in mind.

♥♥♥♥ up a profile drawing and wound up with this.

Woohoo artthreads.



Something about it inheriting the earth and turning it and its inhabitants into a giant engine to fly off into the emptiness of space. My comprehension of the color concept makes me sad.

Vectors~
It looks a lot better when glowing blue and not against a blank background.

As a vectory kind of person I must say the blades are very nice and smooth.


Well actually three of these are dwarves, the bottom right is some kind of punk.

Nice Dwarves, although the bottom one looks more like an elf to me, features are too long.

Cool Axe, Torrent, from a practical standpoint the spear tip wouldn't work to well since it's shrouded by the blades on both sides. also the smaller blade on the back, the part where it tapers into a thin sliver of metal would probably have some durability issues.

I got the slightest perception of a ceremonial blade out of the piece, particular because of the taper you mentioned.

Well considering in the thing I made it for it's being materialized in midair from pure Rage energy as a skyscraper sized thing and then flung at an island where it practically splits the island in half, I don't think practicality is a huge issue.

But yeah I dislike the low point as well, doesn't sit well with me. Ah well, if I spend the next three weeks I have to finish this project on tweaking weapons, I'm fairly certain I'll get an F.
Also, the curves on the blades were RIDICULOUSLY hard to make. Literally they took up half the 2 hours it took me to make it.

Ok, so I got this random idea in my head and felt utterly compelled to actually draw it.

A "hi-tech knight" with fancy looking armor and lots of lights on it, a large sword with a laser-edge resting on his right shoulder, and a submachinegun-esque weapon in his left at his side.
This is the initial sketch for this, I plan to have the armor be black, the lights will be square-ish and their current teal color, with the background being a sort of cyber-punk looking city backdrop.
(warning, a tad large)

I'm aware of a couple small issues with the armor that arose while I was adjusting stuff, planning to fix that here in a minute but...
The only real question here, is if I want the scene to look "dark" do you guys think I should go with a more airbrushed look or a more "hard-colored" look on the painting?

Do models count as art?
I painted this today. I'm gonna fix it up because there's some issues that are bothering me, but I think it came out well.

Pretty neat... what exactly is it just out of question? I'm stuck between space ship and some kind of laser weapon.

It's both, technically.
It's a ship from the Firestorm Armada series, which has sexy spaceships abound, but I have no clue how to play it.

Nice cropping there, buddy.
