hey impressive castles you make there Scarrabee. do u always leave them white? or do u ever colour them in and add texture? that'd take alot of work i spose. but it'd look well hawt! heres the intro scene for an animation i'm currently working on called Cuboy. Hopefully I'll make a full episode in the near future. hope you enjoy.... its very short... Click here for the Cuboy intro scene |

Agreed, it's a very nice intro, edible. Not only does it have good feel and style, it also has a fantastic song to accompany it. Top notch!

lol, I like it. everything seems a bit random, but that's probably because I haven't listened to the song enough to understand it. Ha, I like the guy, he looks familiar for some reason  huh.----------------------------- okay, here's a drawing I posted in the daily sketch thread a while ago and I decided to try giving it color; plus it gave me a chance to experiment with how to use the Open Canvas. again, I'm aware the fairy thing looks a bit stiff and all. drawing humans isn't my strong point. and I should probably got with a lighter color for the outline of the dragon (or no outline). Like I said, I was experimenting with different ways of drawing with and using the open canvas, so the girl on the dragon looks out of place on the dragon's back.  EDIT: wow... my 100th post.... cool

^^ thanks. I'm not really making it share the same meaning as the song. Just colourful images and thoughts that come to mind when hearing the lyrics. |

hey shirty. nice work. i like the animation. please share it when you're finished. i'd love to see the whole thing. as far as the random thing goes. i think it's appropriate given that the song seems to be just that. "narcotic! just farted! i wanna be retarted! computer! get neutered! some people call me duder!...etc..." it's a catchy tune, but i don't hear any deep meaning that needs to be accented. just a fun sound, now with fun animation. i like the style of your characters. this is the only thing i've finished in flash: (long pre-loader, sorry.)ess project - "you help me walk" it's a music video i made with a coupla pals for a pal who's music i love. i posted this in another thread, but didn't really get any criticism on it. i'd like feedback so i can make the next one better. i had no idea how to use this program when i started it, but i'm catching on slowly. the project i'm on now isn't in any digital form yet, and i don't have a scanner on hand, so i can't show any sketches yet, but it's another music video. i'll post progress when i can. this one is for an acoustic mellow fellow i know. |

Packalunch, that music video was interesting. I liked the scenery, it really went with teh music... Even though thats not my music genre of choice I think it was well done. I'm working on a few things at once... First--I'm most of the way done with this: The Clockhands' Groaning Circles Second--This is a quick sketch I did today for my next facial expression study painting. |

maybe you could add more detail in the forground. and addsome footprints, another tree or two, or some rocks/boulders. right now it looks a bit like a piece of paper on top of the background trees and mountains your trees are wonderful

 Originally for the DCT, I started to like it too much, and then devoted a lot more time on it than I had planned. I'll probably finish it tomorrow. Oh, and I know that the left arm doesn't make any sense. |

That's great, Tom.
I think you should crop or center the composition a little more--- that left side seems weighty if you know what I mean.  ------------------------------------------ Narubi, You've got a good start to that landscape, don't stop now! A few things I might advise you on:  A.) Work out all the elements in a scene. This needs to happen before shading or coloring. One of the elements of a great painting is a great composition, something that is very maleable and easy to play around with when you are first starting your piece. (this is also a good time to determine your light source(s) for the scene) An element or two in the foreground would be a good idea!--- and it would add another level of depth to the painting. B.) Block in ALL of your colours. When you're throwing your first colour onto the canvas, be sure to quickly block in the tones for ALL of your elements so you will get an idea of how all the different tones will look and react with eachother. Also, it is a good idea to work on your piece as a whole, giving equal attention to all areas and adding detail and color in an equal fashion. That way you won't become so absorbed in one area only to find out that you're not willing to put the same amount of detail into the other areas. C.) Start working in tecture and landforms! Once the first layer of color is laid down, you might continue by defining some natural ditches, humps, or grassy areas. If you feel timid about putting it on too 'thick', tone down your opacity and use a mid-size brush. Landscape in nature is filled with complexity and forms. If you're having any trouble coming up with things to fill in your landscape, look at reference photos, or better yet---- go on a hike and take mental 'snapshots' of interesting features that you can pull out later when you return to your work.

aneth: thank you. i'm proud of it. not bad for my first try. groaning circles is really good. i like that immensely. great skull. conger: i like that drawing. the nose kinda reminds me of ralph snart. narubi: yeah, it looks way better now. some of your background still seems like it wants to be foreground though. |

This is susposed to be St. Michael defeating Lucifer. Its for a tat design a guy wants, so Im trying to do a simple yet striking design. Im really not too happy about it so far, so any crits and comments would be greatly appreciated. He didnt want the Lucifer from the Reference Pic, and brought the current one to use instead. Im not sure if it looks good with St. Michael though? Im also really unhappy with his face, I cant get a "pissed off" look on this guy no matter how hard I try! :lol: Any ideas on improving this sucker folks? |

What an epic scene, Shayne! Will you be applying any of the ink yourself??  4 quickies:  A.) On the head: Give the neck a little more length, and twist the head downward. This will give you the perfect foundation for a disdainful expression of your choice. The trickiest part about head angles like this is setting the features right, especially the jaw ('cause it involves a bit of foreshortening). I always use a quick base-sketch to help out with these tricky angles. It starts with a rough circle the size of the skull. Then a line of symmetry down the front to establish which direction the face is turned and whether or not the head it is tilted. After that comes the jaw line, which is pretty much guesswork, using the symmetry line as a guide. Last comes the eyeline--- this one is very important, so make sure it's not crooked! Also, take into account that if he will looking downward, the line will need to be set a little lower than usual. (features on the face will be 'compressed' slightly to give foreshortening) Then you can rough in the features like the EYEs, nose, ears, mouth, and hair. Once that's done, you can see whether or not the placement is sound--- and the rest is history. B.) This is more of a personal opinion--- but St. Michael should have a bigger wingspan than satan. C.) Define the feet more and strip off those cankles!! ...ahh wait... those are boots. *slaps forehead* Ah well. Please disregard.  D.) St. Michael's grip on the staff might look a little more firm if his left hand were wrapped around a little further. |

I think that Satan could have a little more arch in his back or else be entirely flat on the ground; his legs also look a little bit awkward dangling out the way they do; perhaps you could extend one farther and then pull the other back towards the body a bit more. Great job so far; I'm sure your client will be pleased!

 Something I'm painting as one of my first experiments with acrylics. The scan made the colours look very strange, but any crits are still appreciated. |
