eh......next revision is surgery time....

DeadlyBlondeArcher (edited Jun 3, 2004)

The only things I see that are only (slightly) out of proportion are that maybe you have his forehead a tiny bit too long, and I know his ear isn't finished yet... it is rather large in the photo, but maybe not quite as large as you have it. Otherwise everything is dead on... the distances between nose/mouth/chin/eyes and the sizes thereof... all of that is correct as I see it. This is really cool. Never saw this guy before. He looks pretty mean.

davincipoppalag (Jun 3, 2004)

Another "giggypiece" I will look forward to the finish

Thear (Jun 3, 2004)

hmm...somethin difference in lips...but i can't say what =D Great start! i hope u finish it quickly! ^^

Made some adjustments.....

EverDream (Jun 4, 2004)

DAMN! It's comming out great already! :D I'm loving it! Though as a tip you might want to round out his head a bit, it looks a tiny bit flat. Other than that everything else is turning out awesome! XD

Gigandas (Jun 4, 2004)

Hehe, well, Barrett has a flat head^^;.Yeah, I thought the same thing too.But hopefully it;ll look better after I put his braided hair in XDDD...

Wow....uh....I'm gunna need some serious luck....^^;

davincipoppalag (Jun 4, 2004)

You are too hard on yourself Gigandas.. this is excellent ..even unfinished

Zack (edited Jun 4, 2004)

Dude. Dude. Nice.

"Where's its !@%$& head?! This whole thing's stupid."

Gigandas (Jun 4, 2004)

Nah, davinci^^;.I'm serious about this one.The eyes aren't proportioned at the right distance and it kinda threw it off a bit....time to perform some more surgical procedures....

Gigandas (Jun 4, 2004)

Okay.....now I'll admit, I'm getting somewhere.Whew^^;....

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 4, 2004)

Boy, I'll say you're gettin' somewhere. This is looking great. Always so reeeal... :D.

LovelyLori (Jun 4, 2004)

this is amazing gig... as are ALL of your creations! good goin so far, will be GREAT when it's done

Kloxboy (Jun 4, 2004)

Seriously, this is amazing Gigandas. You put a lot of effort into your work and I think I and everyone else appreciates it.. It looks just like him. I can't wait till this is finished. FF rocks!!!

Gigandas (edited Jun 4, 2004)

more stuff...I think I'll do some more tomorrow....done for the night.

DinoFlorist (Jun 4, 2004)

WOW that is absolutley incredible! I hope you arent going to keep that tiny mini-arm in the same proportions yuo have there in white....It's so great but the bicep is tiny. A guy like that would have a big bicep! And way bigger hands. But anyway, the face is super great.

Gigandas (Jun 5, 2004)

Heh, DF, I'm only working off how the reference looks so, it's kind of a small bicep.His plastic cover over his upper arm might be what's making it so small though.It's hard to describe just what it is yet, but you'll see as I get further on this.and his lower arm(maybe a little below the elbow to the fingertips) is completely a mechanical arm.The size doesn't matter too much there because his real arm was shot off in battle.

Thear (Jun 5, 2004)

wow! it looks really good at this point! =)

Started the arm...now the title should make more sense.....

Aubrey (Jun 5, 2004)

This looks excellent Gigandas. I agree, you're way too hard on yourself. The face looks even better than a photo. Amazin.

Working on the fist...

Thear (Jun 5, 2004)

Fingers hurt like a ________ (fill in with your favorite swear word).........oh man.......tiny details.....@_@....ops.....there go my eyes too.....

laurael (Jun 5, 2004)

Damn Gigandas...I thought your stuff was totally awesome before, but...damn! This is even better than all that! (your stuff is still totally awesome) This is...this is...so effin' real looking...'you' got the mad skills, dude...you better find a way to make a serious living with these skills...if 'you' can't...no one can...again, 'damn'...

Gigandas (Jun 6, 2004)

Thanks laurel :).I'm gonna try to work on the arm some more if I have the time today.....since it's the last week of school, I got finals to study for.....@_@

Knockoff (Jun 6, 2004)

This is amazing gig.
I want it done O___O.
It looks so real. Your amazing with this stuff. Teh arm looks uber cool.

Justin_Sane (Jun 6, 2004)

Very well drawn .......looks like he just walked out of a computer game........that ear looks a bit out though.....maybe like that on the ref but looks a little too far back .....apart from that its the dogs bollox matey well done

Gigandas (Jun 6, 2004)

Dunno, it might be the fact that the skin tone is brighter there and the fact that I haven't shaded it in too much yet.Hopefully that helps it some when I add to it.I still haven't even finished his head yet^^;.His hair and the ear region mainly...but thanks for the comment JS.I'll try to do something about it if I can :).I appreciate it.

Gigandas (Jun 6, 2004)

I think the bionic arm is pretty much done...

safescene (Jun 6, 2004)

Well, I have no idea who this guy is, but one thing's for sure: I would not wanna' catch him on a bad day. His arm is awesome; I admire your knack for realism, Gig. This is just great, to put it so very lightly :P

misterjimsan (Jun 6, 2004)

woooooow, the detail on that arm blows me away, not to mention the face, man! it makes me feel small

davincipoppalag (Jun 7, 2004)

Giggy is the king of details.. and so patient in the process it kills me! Great work!

laurael (edited Jun 7, 2004)

YES! Now yer talkin'. That bg is already going to be totally awesome G....btw...did you say you were done with the bg? If you are it looks good the way it is too...
edit: Damn, I love this pic!

Gigandas (Jun 7, 2004)

Umm...I think it's done.Not sure the reference has anything more to add to this^^;;;....

laurael (Jun 7, 2004)

Well, then it looks great...! :]

Gigandas (Jun 7, 2004)

Heh, you don't have to be afraid to say you don't like it you know.....XD

laurael (Jun 7, 2004)

Heh, heh...okay...I don't like it...
I LOVE IT...there... :p

Gigandas (edited Jun 7, 2004)

Fine, be that way.... lol XD
Jk ;)

LovelyLori (Jun 7, 2004)

that arm came out great!

EverDream (Jun 7, 2004)

Hot Damn! This is turning out awesome! XD

Zack (edited Jun 8, 2004)

That background blows chunks. You should give up art forever. :D

Gigandas (Jun 7, 2004)

Thanks Zack, I'll keep that in mind :).

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Jun 10, 2004)

I just wish I knew how you do this!!!!! So completely awesome... it just floors me everytime you do one of these... so REAL.

EverDream (Jun 10, 2004)

Good MOTHER OF....*insert weird spaztic word here*.....!!! It's flawless! Perfectly done Gigandas! I LOVE IT!!! XD

Aubrey (Jun 10, 2004)

Amazin picture Gigandas. Looks really great now that it's finished.

Kloxboy (Jun 10, 2004)

Yes, this is very cool, many many details, well done!

emmamommalag (Jun 10, 2004)

Wow, this is excellent... it look's so real. The details on that arm are amazing.

davincipoppalag (Jun 11, 2004)

Giggy. how can you not think what you do is art just because it's copied from another picture. Its an artform in itself to be able to see the lighting, and the details and to be able to render them so perfectly..this is incredible

Gigandas (Jun 11, 2004)

Thanks guys.....I liked this one too :)......

Thear (Jun 11, 2004)

ehhh....if i coud have one wish...i wish i coud have your skills......

fleeting_memory (Jun 11, 2004)

I see it I see it? happy? Or did you just want me to comment cause you know I had already seen it? This is awesome but you've kinda probably assumed that by now if even YOU like it-keep it up-I knew you wouldn't leave :-)

Gigandas (edited Jun 11, 2004)

Actually....I added lots of stuff since you saw it^^;;;;......like the plastic part of the arm, the vest, the zipper teeth, the braids in the hair.....oh well....I guess it's hard to notice eh^^;?

-I think what you saw was ver.14

DinoFlorist (Jun 11, 2004)

Dude, you are right! Remember I was complaining about the tiny arms, but now it all makes sense. HAW HAW HAW

bumpinthenight (Jun 11, 2004)

Awesome shiznat!!!! this looks quite realistic!!! I love the video-game style definition to his features... You r0x0rz m3 b0x3rz!

lp_phaery (Jun 11, 2004)

>wow< i want to hug you. You did GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! I like it alot..!!..

laurael (Jun 12, 2004)

Now that this is finished...I have to make one last comment on it...
I think my favorite part has to be the mechanical arm and hand though...no, no wait...I like the braids...no, wait...his face came out looking pretty tough...oh hell...I like the whole damn thing, all right?
Awesome, superb, fantastic, excellent...(I don't need to go on...do I?)

Gigandas (Jun 12, 2004)

lol, laurael.....you already over did it XD.....

laurael (Jun 12, 2004)

Naw...did not. :]

Zack (Jun 12, 2004)

This is an embarrassment to the 2draw community. You're fired.

Knockoff (Jun 13, 2004)

yay! Its done! Wow, just wow. This is awesome, like you said, Awesome hair.
All the detail is overwhelming. Super job Gigandas!

Nergal (Jun 16, 2004)

wow. Very nive! very realistic.

laurael (Jun 30, 2004)

WHAT....no 'showcase'?? "Something smells in these here woods..." ;-[

Mipunai (Aug 17, 2004)

Wow, this is awsome

Ty854 (Aug 17, 2004)

Your my hero. Oh, and i love watching the animation to this.

Maiko (Aug 17, 2004)

Barret scares me ;__;

Jack_Fox (Aug 29, 2004)

Dear god man, Have ye no life? This is sick, looks 100%, exactamundo, completely, totally, and most definitly exactly like the original FFVII: Advent Children pic...amazing... Peace, Jack Fox

Tuukke (Sep 2, 2004)

Great pic!!! awesome!!! lol that you dont see a lot even in here "Duration: 1day 7hrs" :P

bumpinthenight (Sep 6, 2004)

a) I watched the animation for this for the millionth time and am on the verge of worshipping your style.... (did you go to art school?)

b) WTF??!!?! Why isn't this a showcase entry?!? Come on... I've seen drawings that are stick drawings in detail compared to this one become showcase entries... Wazzup wit that? Dayuhm... Go Gigandas! :) [I know I commented on this one already, but I just had to say those two things...]

Gigandas (edited Sep 6, 2004)

Well, I took one that dealt with almost everything other than using pencils so I quit after couple weeks but since college started two weeks ago, I have actually started taking art classes :) (well, it is required anyways :P).

-Oh, and Jack, drawing IS my life^^;...

Xodiak (Oct 20, 2004)

That robotic arm looks so real... I like how you draw all details so clear and sharp. The unfocused background looks very good in the drawing. This is beyond realism, it is reality! >:D
|XOD|

pulmonq2 (Dec 18, 2004)

nice way to put it XOD. Awesome pic. You are giga-talente, is what you are. hehe... >.<

SlimShady97 (Dec 30, 2004)

Pefect, perfect, perfect to death! I love the smirk on the guy's face which makes him seem so...lifelike. Keep up the awesome work!

Zack (Jan 13, 2005)

Hey everyone! Look at this! It's cool!

HunterKiller_ (Jan 13, 2005)

Oh awesome stuff man. FF7 is pretty good RPG too. Not as good as 6 though.

LadyYuna51191 (Jun 17, 2005)

YAY Barrett!! That's AMAZING! You RAWK!!!

laurael (edited Jun 17, 2005)

This is still my favorite pic here...yessirree. The arm and hand are really just amazing...!

oikitsumaru (Aug 5, 2005)

O___O yesh. If this is your Oekaki work, I wonder what you could do in one of those glorified programs.. Photoshop CS, OC3, ect.

^_^' I ought to see if you have a link to your website, or art page or somethin'.

Mika-Lilia_Rieu (Sep 5, 2005)
