Awesome, thanks guys! c:
As for the smooth lines, i'm sure you'll agree that it's vastly superior to the initial sketch. It's a fun thing about those smooth lines, actually, because it's pretty much exactly how i want my art to be (which would be looking like a cartoon), while others may have gotten used to a far more sketchy look from me. The few that have actually cared thus far, that is, but hey. The sketchy look came exclusively from the fact that i hadn't properly discovered the pen tool before now, and now that i HAVE discovered it... Well, let's just say that i am joyous.

Hey, you can atleast draw, not like me.
I drew a small Pencil-only Sketch. Or something.
Its of the Tutorial Bunker, with some small details and stuffs.
Cant upload it because "Invalid File" or something.

EDIT: Oh hai

Looks nice!
might I ask why theres an explosion to the left of the Tradestar?

Because Rockets still can explode in the Space.
By the way, im probaly going to colour it a bit later.

Some lovely pictures Emogotsaone. I'm not a photographer, but it looks like you're getting better steadily!


Mostly referenced this, inspired by Madmax' AK wielding badasses

Glorious giant AKs for glorious giant soldiers from the motherland.

Giant soviets, make it happen.

Ohmygod the AK is 3mm too short start over.

Jk, awesome work, Adriaan, at first I thought it was from the Insurgency mod menu art. You nailed the expression, values, and AK detail (although to me eye it seems to bend slightly near the barrel). It seems you're using a rather low opacity brush for all your rendering making everything kinda mucky. The AK is pretty sharp and crisp but some parts of his attire get blurry and unrefined such as the shoulder and sleeve areas.

Hehe, thanks. You're absolutely right, I did a lot of drawing/erasing on <100% opacity. Gotta start properly blending values instead of relying on opacity, the muddiness is hard to avoid. You're also right about the bendy AK, it's front end wobbles left and right. Probably due to drawing this from a different angle (just sorta started out painting general silhouette instead of checking perspective first) but still half adhering to the ref. Thanks for your critique!

Got bored and drew this last night as a new desktop background from a reference or two. Originally was the other way horizontally but that basically when my IRC was up covered the right side of the image... well I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out, just cover up the current left side of the image if you don't see it.
(large, it's a desktop background for a 1080p monitor.)

Personally, i like it. Mostly the Googles and the expresionless face.

facial expressions and small shadows are pretty hard to do right with the sort of "vague" style I ended up using.

I think it's pretty neat, too.

I agree, you're getting good at this! c:

Also, i decided to try my hand at digital painting once again, so introducing a WIP image of



detectosaurus again

Still need to refine the shading on the dinosaur itself, as well as actually finish the hat. I'm surprised at how well the pipe turned out, but hey, i ain't complaining.

Dat's a nice pipe.
