On the family computer, so I can't get to the astylar.qualityimporting FTP... But I finally got off my arse and openned a couple hosting accounts; DeviantART for the exposure, Photobucket for the:

hotlinking Wink

DevArt: one or two w/nudity, not so work-safe

Photobucket: all clean

I've got PS and my tablet on this comp, when my dad isn't looking <_< So I've been working on the pic above and a piece inspired by Anna's drawing last weekend (and using the rest of the outfit I designed then). The pic's cropped, and the colors are just for working, not final, which is why they look kinda weird.

Actually I think most of the FTP accounts has to be reset. The hosting service has been really screwy.
I apologize.

Wasn't trying to be rude... far as I knew, I had replied a week ago... Guess the board ate another post? Somebody hasn't been sending their sacrifice!

rklee: Can't do FTP on this compuuter anyway. Thus, sites with HTTP-type uploads...

Trool: All in good time (meaning never, of course Razz ). Got some more work done on the fairy, but nothing enough to post. BG is gonna be a bird's-eye view of a ship, top of the mast right next to her.

New stuff: couple of attempts a speedpainting, but took a little too long for that. Turned out not too bad anyway.

Wasn't thinking about size too much as I made it, but judging by the portholes on the side... something like 10 decks tall, 100 meters long? (In front, that's a large canopy over the bridge, not a cockpit.)

Gonna be lazy and just copy over the devart description:

Quote:
Shagfish

I dunno about this one - it looks kinda spiffy at first, IMO, but there's plenty of mistakes because I didn't consider the anatomy very carefully... The idea was a potential evolution of dragons, that adapted to life in the sea (like mosasaurs did) and pretty much lost their wings.

It's the back leg that bothers me the most, I suppose - that musculature's no good for swimming. I might fix it if I ever CG it.

I'm not on DeviantART that much so I wouldn't know if you copied it or not. (But now I do!! Bwa-ha-ha!)

*returns to sanity* Anyways, all of these are really nice. I like the mermaid-looking one a lot (probably because I like mermaids.. Smile ) The pterodactl (sp??) shows a look of really amazing detail. A lot of online artists are good at computer coloring, but not as many at just old-fashioned pencil drawing.

Online art galleries are a great way to make people aware of your work. As soon as you get a regular website, definatly start linking it from these sites. Wink

Mermaids are fun to, er, "design" because there are plenty of variables to play around with - how do they breath, swim, etc., and there's al sorts of weird-looking critters in the sea for inspiration.

As for the dragon-thing, I was going into it thinking about how to put more detail in, keeping one or two of my own favorite artists in mind. It started out as a smaller sketch (about 4" wide), then I printed it out in red only (to delete with the scanner) full-page and redrew it.

Trool: That's a paddle, for swimming - it's flat. Comments I've gotten elsewhere pointed that out as a problem, and I'm gonna make it clearer.

Some random sketches of my usual comic-idea character, done during breaks at work:

It's an idea I've had for a couple years now, that I was a while back gonna maybe work on with another Megatokyo-forums artist.

*Cor pokes the grammar, then decides not to mess with it*

Er, summary? Typical sci-fi epic, aliens, galactic wars, a bit of time travel thrown in... It's definately straightforward genre material, though I'm really developing the world behind it. Kinda like Dune in that respect.

Just a study, really, done in about an hour at Valley Forge:

The pic from last night. I'd clean up her arms if I ever intended to work on this again, though I'd look up some ref on them first:

Very nice - it looks very clean. (Cool to see it how it came out.) I need to put a little *more* sketching into my pics, I think.

Katrina: It's not so much trying to put sketchiness in, as taking time to find the right lines... Drawing is in a way inherently wrong, because it's line instead of bulk and flat instead of round. You aren't always goind to find the right "translation" on your first go.

Trool: It's pretty rare for me, but I've been doing a bit more lately... The opportunity was kinda obvious this time, 'cause we were there for a mother's day picnic, and my parents went off walking.

Several comments on the top picture I think this might be why max says it doesn't look quite right. I think the hip is very narrow proportionally. Her left arm/sholder is also kinda funky I think I know what angle it's supposed to be but I tugess the clothing folds or something not sure make it look not so good. "foreshortening"?? I dunno. I also think the crotch area is kinda funky.
Is that a funky pulley type design on the leg clothing of the multiarmed girl?
nifty pictures Smile

Trool: Yeah, there's some things off there, mostly her upper arms - they're poorly done so hard to figure out, and if you do it turns out they're poorly posed in the first place Razz

rklee(adapted from IM, for anbody else who was thinking same things): She was supposed to be a bit on the slimmer side, thus the hips ... Her boobies should be smaller, and will be ... Arms are wierd, need to figure that out in front of a mirror ... And maybe put on long clothes to figure out the folds ...

Not pulleys, straps and buckles. I should change the shapes to non-disks, I guess

Besides my usual overly-bulky fingers, I think the problem with that hand is actually the arm leading into it - the angle's off b/c I didn't work it out right. I'm kinda happy with the shading myself, it's not great but it's better than I thought I could do, I don't practice it all that much. The setting is on a Dune-ish time scale, so I'm having a little fun with the designs while keeping them at least a bit utilitarian.

As for the comic, the large-scale plot is planned out as much as it will be (leaving myself some wiggle room to let things develop), and there's enough world design done that I could get started. Just need to work out the "small scale" writing, doing all that dialogue and such that I haven't worked on for ages.

Some stuff from my computer class at school - all my other classwork is too big to scan, and I haven't bought a digicam yet...

First Illustrator project, not so happy with it now so hidden behind a link;


Final project for Illustrator, self-portrait traced over a photo;


Photoshop project - taking scanned items and arranging them into a "landscape that shows signs of human activity."
List of all the materials: plane is pliers for body, wire cutters for tail fins, nail clippers for wings, overhead light plus open scanner lid for exhaust. Sky, "treeline," and ground all have overlaid pencil textures. The treeline's shape came from a Philly Art Museum logo (the button with the gryphon on it) openned up by doing a cartesian-polar transform. The skulls are just what they look like, some little souvenier doohickey I picked up. The "fungus" is dried dragonfruit from Trader Joe's; the rest of the ground is a dinosaur bone.

Some of the scans:


And an example of what the transform does:

becomes


These were done on a mac in the lab. I know my own monitor's color is off, so I dunno how well these look anymore, but shouldn't be too bad...

I like the self portrait one(except for the strange line across the neck there, not sure what that is)

the photomanip thing seems odd. The lighting especially. The shadows for the plane and the skulls/heads are opposite of each other and the skulls seem to be floating since their shadows imply some level of backlighting. The lighting on the skulls themselves seems off. I think maybe you were trying to get their lighting from the jet engines? If that's the case then the lighter spots should probably be higher. Something that might help the image overall would be a graying out of the areas closest to the horizon line(showing distance), it seems a bit flat right now in that respect. The other thing I notice is there seems to be a blur on the ground but not anywhere else which makes the image somewhat inconsistant.

anywho hope that helps at all.
