New Drawing in the Works

SuperH · Post by **SuperH** » Wed Dec 10, 2003 6:49 am

Yeah, I haven't drawn anything in a while, but I've got a new one in progress. It's all set to be a masterpiece too, first thing I haven't finished in one sitting since... a folder I drew on in 10th grade.

First step - Outline and head

Second step - Shoulder

Third step - Finishing torso
http://www.geocities.com/extreme_walkin ... -demo3.txt

Those are all at 25% full size, I'm doing it on an 8.5 x 11 sheet canvas, at 300 dpi... the head doesn't even fully fit on my screen at once if I have it at 100%, which is what I'm doing the actual work at. Usually I do work on drawings at 200%, but that would be absurd for something of this size.
The actual pixel resolution of the full drawing is - 3300 x 2550. Quite a jump up from my previous 1024 x 768 canvas. Working with something this large is certainly a chore... shading is TEDIOUS. So far I've got ~five hours invested in it.

It looks great. Reminds me of Natural Selection

Natural Selection?

Half-Life mod.

The images won't show on ol' mozilla, so I guess I'll check it on IE when I'm not so lazy.

Meh, they're just jpegs, so I guess you could save them and rename them if you didn't feel like going ie? Then again, laziness would prevent me from doing that too... so ya.

looks pretty good. Are you going to add a background and shit too?

That rules.

I'm really liking that.

Looks interesting... Nice drawing anyway

.
Are you going to color it or will it be B&W?. Oh and does the masterpiece have a name

I am planning on coloring it, more than just adding blood around the mouth and eyes like my regular drawings. I doubt I'll add a background - and it does have a name, "Work 026" lol. I don't title anything I do, I just number them.

Added part of the lower body. Gotta hit that last leg, and the arms, then I'll see what I want to do with it as far as coloring. Considering background too, I don't know if I want to leave it white, or maybe just shade some black around it... however that would take FOREVER to do. Maybe I could even make him a little house to hang out in. Or whatever something like that would use for a house.

They're not minute when you look at it full size. Remember that's only a quarter, want me to post a copy of a full size picture? That'll eat bandwith up like omg though, oh well.

I cropped all the extra white space still. But it's big, see? And it's really tedious to shade with a pen tip that's that small. I like the result though?

Right Right, got a pre-release version or something going now.

First, the completed "inking" -

Now, preliminary coloring -

I think it needs some more texture to the color, but lemme know what you guys think about it as it is.

That looks insanely cool.

You picked really great colors.

Also, you like Merzbow too?

I want to have sexual intercourse with you now.

The picture looks very dope yo, though the upper body should have some more highlights I reckon...
merzbow on the other hand is pretty fucking awful.

Megatron · Post by **Megatron** » Mon Dec 15, 2003 3:02 pm

yea looks very kubrick. I'd have chosen a different colour (blues and purples would look good) and the lower body has more highlights than the top but hye it's PRELIMARYY.A

It's still very good. Ozrat approves, 5 out of 5.5 lumpy bananas, killa killa has spoken.

here is my AMAZING RE-COLOUR THAT TOOK HOURS OF WORK!

SuperH · Post by **SuperH** » Mon Dec 15, 2003 6:18 pm

Heh, thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it. His upper torso does need some more highlights, and I've got to change the blood a bit, I'm not sure I like how that looks, in a couple places.

Great recoloring Megatron, lol it really does look good. Donno about that guy in the background though, lol.

And... Merzbow is pretty interesting. That CD is probably the hardest of all his stuff that I've heard, I like some more of his stuff that's more melodic too though. It makes surprisingly good background music for playing doom, lol.

With Megatron's coloring, it reminds me of the "dead baby" flash thing where you dress up the dead baby.

Pretty good stuff...I waited to reply until a finished/almost finished product was up. A little dark, but I dig it. I even like the Kermit The Frog eyes.
