Makes me think more of a mask, then again theres not too much of a difference between the two. This also reminds me how close a "happy face" can be to "sinister face". Thank you for that. Great colors too.

Oh.good one NM. It does look like a mask.

I was working on this for the contest and thought I lost it. Well guess what pops up to my surprize. Since I've invested time in it I thought I'd submit it late.

If I could, I would shake your hand for creating this. What an interesting clash of characters. In many ways too (such as: new and old, harmless to demented, action platformer to survival horror, etc etc.) Also, that scene in the hospital was one of the best in the game (and series too). Very cool. Kudos.

Now this, if ever a picture went with a musical piece. P.G. is a very.... unique artist to say the least, and hey so are you. ;)

Basic Tutorial

cianteed2 (Jun 22, 2006)

Step 1: On layer 0, use a light colour, such as light blue, to make your preliminary lineart. It's easiest just to make broad geometric shapes in the same shape as your subject. This makes it easier when you go to "ink" your lineart, and ensures it will be proportionate (that is, if you DREW it proportionate!). Skipping this stage could cause your lineart to look disfigured, unless you've practiced enough to skip it.

Step 2: Next, go to layer 2. Use the pen or pencil tool (or whatever else you prefer) to make your lineart. Its good practice to experiment with different colours of lineart, but black is usually a safe bet. You can now erase the preliminary blue on layer 0. Tips: If your lineart looks too dark or intense, use the erase rectangle tool on low intensity and shave off a layer of it. It will make the lineart look finer and light, and when you go to colour the lineart wont look as separate from the colouring.

Step 3: On any layer lower than your black lineart, fill it in with colour! (but PLEASE dont use the "fill" tool. Not only will not work on a lower layer, but it looks ugly when people use it and it never goes to the edge of your lineart.)

Step 4: This step is just shading and detail. I'd go further into how to shade, but this isn't a shading tutorial! I just have 1 tip: Avoid shading dark areas with straight black. Shadows aren't black, they're merely darker tones of the same colour. However, if it's your "style" to shade with black, by all means go ahead.

looks familiar :)
this turned out nicely, good job!

But really, the shadow would be black wouldn't it? Only it is a bit transparent which is why it appears a darker shade of the same color...i dunno

cianteed2 (Aug 4, 2006)

actually theres no such thing as a black shadow. a shadow is just a lack of light, thus the subject's colour wouldnt turn black in a shadow - it would just be a darker version of its original colour.

I wish I had discovered/paid attention to the airbrush tool sooner. It really is nice to play with.

I only ask because I have trouble with the jaw in that position. Hoped you could help out with that vass knowledge you contain. Everything looks fine to me.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Jun 22, 2006)

I have trouble with faces on a flat plane /or angled like that as well, so I understand your question... he seems to pull it off rather nicely each time, and I always wonder how he does it, myself.

HunterKiller_ (Jun 22, 2006)

It's beautiful. Maybe a little more contrast?

Just a sketch of anime, seeing if I still got it (been a while since I did something of this nature). If this isnt good enough for the Intermediate board please let me know.

Funny guy.

I wouldn't have called it Annie Mae either...but I get confused as to what is anime and what is manga and what is fan art and what is chibichibibangbang and all that...

Sweetcell (Jun 21, 2006)

You do such interesting things solve, I'm sure you can do anime but I find your loose draws so much more interesting.

chibichibibangbang

LMAO.

Reminds me of one of those flat hologram cards. I like the layout Derrick.

they're like female heads on a poorly drawn male torso.

Sweetcell (Jun 22, 2006)

I thought something seemed a little off about this picture. I think that's spot on Stasiuk. Even if they're flat chested there should be curves to delineate the upper chest from the torso. Otherwise I love the coloring, folds, tree and blossoms and their cute expressive faces (why are these char always being chained up?)

Truearashi (Jun 24, 2006)

well, eh... it kind a goes with the story behind the pictures...
