Commie seems to be going through a heavy noise filter/texture phase :lol:
Looks like your hand is trying to pounce on you :bing:
Nice colours and technique you've used to pain it, using tone rather than outlines.

Painted my right hand in photoshop while I was looking at it

Hmmm, you could get that pretty realistic (and freaky) if you rendered it out some more :ph43r:

Nice crap Neo, allways enjoy your crap :bfoot:

Hey Comlock, I saw your hand picture (beautiful btw..) and noticed the pinky or little finger looked slightly odd. After downloading the picture, reconstructing the bones in photoshop, and adding skin outlines.. I realized that your pinky ends a tiny bit lower than it should (or you were painting a VERY uncomfortable hand pose... :yfok: )

Posted Image

I started with blue. Blue is for bones. You've got your nice little nuckle..ish bones in the fingers and the bones opposite the palm drawn in too. The reason they don't go all the way to where you drew the wrist is because they're located on the other side of the hand. I drew in the wrist bone cluster too... just to make it easier.

Next is light green. This color was only used for one thing: the wrist's girth. This was just to show that the bones end basically where they should.

Finally, in cyan, I drew first where the pentagonal shape of the palm is. Next, I drew in the outlines of each of the fingers based on that outline. That is when I noticed your pinky is a bit too low on the bottom part. (by a full pinky nuckle)

The last thing that I noticed.. regardless of where the pinky is supposed to be positioned, is that the pad of skin, located just under where the pinky is, curves inward a bit on your drawing, but I can't for the life of me find that indent on my own hand. :huh:

But other than those really picky things, great job man. I love the colors you used.


Edit:

I drew some pictures of my cats today. My dad kept making spontaneous noises, so it was perfect for finding dynamic poses. ;)

[size=7]I am extremely sorry for posting portraits here... I know you love knights, extremely cartoony people, dragons, hardcore monsters with glowing eyes and paintings with epic proportions, but hang on! There's not much of my things.[/size]

I made some sketches today while I was out, but then I lost my sketchbook. How depressing.
Then I came home and painted this. It actually took me about 3 hours to finish... :yfok:

Elephant, I love all 3 of your drawings.
Don't worry, nobody comments on my stuff when I post it here :lol:
I'm a cartoonist (incase you didn't know) and part of me tingles when I see the middle drawing, I love it! The lines are loose and expressive, and I love his expression (don't tell me you did the drawing as a joke to further your point).

The portrait is very skilfully done, it looks like it was the most time consuming of the pieces you've done. Nice colours and marks -- I like how you don't smudge and hide how you draw you stuff.

In some ways I think the 3rd piece is the strongest of the three. It's so distinctly you, and I recognise your stuff straight away. It's a great characature, lots of personality. I like how your lines are bold and spontaneous.

Sorry, I'm not the greatest at critiques, but I love your stuff :bing:

If you want someone to correct your anatomy you'll have to wait for someone else, because I'm not so obsessed about that stuff (I draw fingers coming out of the wrist for some of my characters for crying out loud! (and many of my character's have heads that are bigger than their bodies)). If it looks good then it's fine! :bing:

The idea for this came to me while watching the news earlier tonight. Naturally, I got up, opened photoshop, and drew this.

When I finished, it reminded me of the illustration activity a while back... about like somesuper hero/secret identity stuff... anyway, feel free to critique it.

P.S. Sorry about the large image size <_<

Hey Elephant, don't wind yourself up about replies. You'll allways expect a little more buzz then what you usually get, every one has that. There are some people that managed to build up a reputation here which usually get a few dozen replies (not calling any names here =P )

Anyway, I think you should work on your forms a little, try using guidelines such as a line for symetry etc, the shapes are a bit wonky somtimes.
I enjoy your scruffy style, but I think you sometmes get a bit too caught up in it.

I LOVE this one tough:

Posted Image

kojisan You need some more hard edges in you shading, try to think about how objects, and part of objects cast shadow on eachother.
Do not treat every shadow as it would be on a smooth surface, that's probably the most often made mistake.
You also need to try to get more contrast into your shading, it'll make the drawing much more solid.

I'll comment some other stuff later, time to eat first =]

Teheeh. THank you, both.
But I thought I had a reputation. :( What's next? Unicorns don't exist?
*runs back to the imaginary fantasy-world*

Kojisan, the sketch is strong and I like it. Work on the final image though, Rubber's right on the colouring.

Self-portrait revisited. Take this, Brackenwood!

edit - modified the head, again.

I liked the previous one more, you just need a deeper shadow under the head, and make your head appear less flat, more like a sphere with light from above.

There's a hell of a lot of cleaning up to do and i personally don't like it but:

It's representing how you go to sleep to escape your problems... but they are always there when you wake up, and that sometimes it just makes them worse.

Ya get me? :P

I do get you, but it comes off as the usual nightmare-theme. A more obscure approach would've been cool...

BLeh, disregard the last sentence. :gasp:

:huh: thats a paradox. the last sentance is the one in which you tell us to disregaurd the last sentance. therefore, if we were to take your advice then disregaurding it would be regaurding it &... that just doesnt make sence
