/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Currently nowhere near done with this picture, these colors aren't final. And I already know I sort of screwed up the anatomy. My question is, how the FUCK do I get this rock in the background to make it look like it's perfectly cut in half by this character? I haven't rendered it out much just because I feel like I'm not getting the concept across properly.

Nice OP images, is her right hand an acceptable size? It’s exaggerated but did I stretch too far? :0

>>4046248
You forgot the thread tittle, and you turned the /alt/ threads into a /co/ thread.

>>4046248
it's a start
thanks for making the thread this time

>>4046269
Action lines! Make give her sword action lines leading from the rock, also give grass detail around the slab that had been cut so it looks like it’s pressing in properly

>>4046269
>how the FUCK do I get this rock in the background to make it look like it's perfectly cut in half by this character?
I can't see that happening in that pose.
Try recreating the rock slicing yourself and then proceed to make an image

don´t know where I was going with this

>>4046306
Your poses always look so natural and fluid, also this made me ship Shinji x Asuka so there.

>>4046306
Idk, but you're going places

Idk where to post this. I only draw anime girls so, I guess I'll stay here where I feel comfy

>>4046306
Any tips for doing natural poses?

>>4046371
My tip is to try things out until you feel like it works, I never get it right on the first try, Ill draw and erase until it works. I never keep something just because it looks right by itself, it has to serve the pose. And I guess draw fast, so you can fail faster and therefore get to the correct pose faster.

Trying to get better at expressions and proportions.

>>4046248
Pretty happy with how this turned out. Based on Jason Mamoa but I ain't got the likeness chops yet.

Critique and shitposting always welcome :)

>>4046423
Looks like it could be a part of a comic, nice man

>>4046427
Thanks dude, that means a lot.

>>4046546
this is looking so fucking sick dude

>>4046306
Hot

>>4046546
badass

I've never really watched WOY but Lord Hater is such a barrel of monkeys to draw. I have an image search open for reference and the expressions he makes keep cracking me up.

>>4046248
The Link and Zelda one is absolutely adorable.

Do you like my mecha? I get the feeling it only looks mechanical at the legs and the rest is more "organic" looking like Megaman, but that's maybe because I desigend him thinking of Ledian and other Johto pokemon at first.

These bugs are prized for their singing and theatrics but war to them is just another performance like any other.

>>4046855

>>4046860
It was cartoons general when Chico made the threads too

>he doesn't put the subject
fucking nigger

aquapaulo is a nigger

>>4046384
Do you bother to study things like anatomy, or have you just always felt it out by erasing fixing until you were pleased with the result.

>>4046384
to draw fast you need to have a simple method - it has to be simple for you to make a pose.

It helps to draw in those sort of loose sketchy styles for the guide.

(not the same guy)

btw for your sketches, are they nondescript dolls, or do you actually get some details in there? I'm kind of interested myself

A guy and Lord Dominator.

WHERE.IS.GIANT.LOLI.FAG

>>4046935
Probably moved to greener pastures like everyone else does once they make it. Good on him.

can someone tell me whats wrong with my lineart, I'm not sure what concept I'm missing

>>4046954
if this is the soldier from tf2, i will hang you up by your roastie wings on hooks

>>4046954
line art is totally fine, you could clean it up a little though. the problem is in your pencil work

>>4046959
:^)

>>4046931
Moar Dominator

>>4046269
As it stands, it just looks like she's posing with a flat rock way off in the background. The two aren't connected enough to tell the story you want to tell. Honestly, this is something that should have been settled in the thumbnailing/loose sketch phase, as it stands now you just aren't going to get these two puzzle pieces to meet.

Watch this so you don't end up in this same position again.

>>4046272
The hand may be a bit large, but I think it just looks a lttle flat and stiff overall. I think you could do more to push the pose and give it more emotion and punch. Really clean looking, though, I like the Evangelion aesthetic.

>>4046543
Nice. Great sense of scope and form. Though I might tilt and angle the face down a little more, since the top of his head is angled towards us.

>>4046546
This is rad.

>>4046845
I can feel the power of ISHYGDDT flowing from this image.

>>4046855
I love your bug designs.

>>4046962
disgusting.

>>4046845
These colors are really nice but the stiff gesture really hampers it

>>4046125
are you a girl?
you draw like a girl
also, blog please

>>4046971
thanks

>>4046945
lol he's not really great though...

>>4046945
His art had many issues, but he was a fixture on this board. I do miss him.

Just finished lin fei from brawlhalla

>>4047215
suggested improvements:
-fix ends of lineart where shape comes to a point
-don't pick a background colour that is part of the foreground
-when stylising legs, make sure that the proportions of arm to leg are kept the same (the legs and feet are weird in perspective
-use more variation in line weight
-apply equal perspective to head and body

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK
IS THIS GAY?
also, can I charge like 20 dollars for something this level?

>>4047300
i can't see any genitals so it's on the line. Also do you mean selling finished or at it's current state?

>>4047305
i mean finished, I wouldn't want money for something in this state

>>4047307
yeah you could probably consistently sell for about $25 USD as lineart,

>>4046269
Putting the rock in the air or in some obviously unnatural position is your best bet. Also, your sword edge is always in line with your arm because of the way you hold a sword.

My perspective isn't great, but here's to give you an idea of what I'm thinking.

>>4047478
It would make more sense if the rock tilted towards her.

Do you guys find lineart to be a tedious or enjoyable task? For me it's the best part of the drawing

>>4046864
I miss him

>>4046248
>cartoons general

>>4047623
post cartoons bro

>>4047614
nice cups, I do find lineart enjoyable. Painting and rendering on the other hand..

>>4047614
Brighter colors dude, it's a retro cartoon.

>>4047614
I literally used the eyedropper on an in-game screenshot for them cause I'm a lazy ass how much more retro can you get

>>4047639
Fuck this was meant for >>4047632

>>4047478
>>4047480
This is super amazing, thank you so much anon! I'll see if I can make this work

What do you guys think?

>>4047679
Lookin Cartoony my guyy

Can you guess where they are from anons? :D

>>4047702
Sketch no. 2.
Been messing around with the sega emulator with my buddy.

>>4047702
Golden Axe right? Nice to see some love for it if so, nice work anon.

Right column done.

>>4046306
wtf nosebro improved

>>4047937
Who

>>4047925
lmao master draftsman my ass

>>4046749
That's nice, blog?

>>4046855
Did you this for the Thiago Lehmann 70K DTIYS?

>>4047675
Good luck anon! I'm rooting for you

Drew a hippo and added a bg, I'll probably draw some more

>>4046749
Your sketches are really nice man, do you ever do any finished stuff?

>>4046306
hi nosebro!

>>4047984
>>4047937
Be nice, no one deserves to be compared to Nosebro

neutral colors/skintones are hard but i think they turned out nicely

>>4047639
u gotta brighten them still cus without the color context of the in-game background the colors look faded against a pure white canvas

>>4047937
whoa is nosebro still around? i remember that guy from like 2016 lol

>>4047614
Is this Zach Dewd?

Are these ok? they were for a commission

>>4048061
They look bretty good senpai

>>4048079
S-senpai? Ty anon

>>4047991
Huh, you learn something new everyday. Thanks for the tip

>>4046855
Dope. Your previous coral armor dude was a great design. I could imagine an illustration of him underwater, guarding some sort of sunken temple or dungeon. Your designs would be right at home in a Zelda title.
>>4047978
Adorable :). I like your color palette. If you used a brush with a bit more texture (something akin to pastel?) It could really compliment it, at least imo.
>>4047991
I agree, pretty sexy. Although it looks like you got bored of drawing her head dress, it's noticeably more loose compared to the rest of her imo.
>>4048061
Pretty solid. I really like those fabric folds. You don't seem content with the results, why?

Figured I'd post here as well. There are so many generals now. I don't mean to spam.

>>4048192
>You don’t seem content

I am actually pretty content with these haha, I just learnt that if I look too openly proud of my work on /ic/ it hurts more when someone trashes it lol, thank you anon

Stuff and things

Figuring out how to redesign the last two.

>>4048196

>>4048269

>>4048205
woof woof ^^

>>4048061
Did some more

>>4047705
Very cool, I'd separate that delt and trap a bit more. His right heel likely wouldn't be lifted especially because his torso suggests a lean toward that leg.

>>4048269
>>4048270
looks really nice anon, I like the flow of your lines and your overall style! Do you have a blog? :)

>>4047885
Yep! Gilius Thunderhead and Tyris Flare from Golden Axe. Thanks anon!

>>4048430
Nice catch on the delts! Only needed one line to separate it.
I originally drew his foot flat to the ground but it looked so stiff, so I lift the heel up so it looked like he's doing that boxer "march" thing.

>>4048196
nice, I've also been trying out armor recently

>>4048437
Thanks very much, anon. Don't really have a blog atm

>>4048595
This is great. Love those colors.

>>4048562
Ah thats cool man, if you ever do make one post it here sometime

just sketching a bit

line weights a bit fucky
i also feel like somethings fucked with the thigh area
i suck at hands
i need to learn value and how to actually paint

what else? id like to get better

>>4048652
Right thighs bigger than the left bro

>>4048658
i had a feeling. thanks. i need to pay more attention to the sketch before doing the linework

>>4048595

>>4048595
Blog? Love the look anon.

>>4047994

>>4048752
this looks cool friend, you should color it and stuff

because of a lack of lower torso I am forced to improvise one in mspaint

>>4048778

>>4046861

>>4048192
>Adorable :). I like your color palette. If you used a brush with a bit more texture (something akin to pastel?) It could really compliment it, at least imo.
Thanks, anon. Your style and coloring is really nice, it reminds me of old anime.
I don't like using pastel brushes too much, I just really don't like the look of the fake-traditional textures on stuff that's digital :(

Sketching some shit

>>4048811
This one too

>>4047614
nothing is as tedious as digital colouring.

>>4048816
Digital coloring is fun! FUN!

>>4047614
You mean like cleaning the rough sketch and giving it a final lineart pass? I find it boring as hell. That's why I removed it from my workflow and go straight to painting.

>>4046935

Man good job, it looks nice

>>4050365

>>4049359
nice work. Like for real. You should be proud

>>4050414
Its one of Darek Zabrocki brushes, its called "traditional feeling". I use it for everything, sketches, rendering. Its on Deviantart

I drew OPs pic on the right, and Iused the same brush.

>>4050422
oh cool, thank you!

What's a good way to stylize things being creepy without going full edgy try hard?

>>4050635

That's the point, they're not supposed to be pretty.They're supposed to help before anything else.

>>4050622

Why would she post figure studies on /alt/? She says she's studying and takes advice and critique, let her draw her anime if that's what she wants to do

the loli won't fuck you, stop whiteknighting.

>>4050510

this can be solved by removing the hard line under the knee and allowing the underside knee to continue uninterrupted to the underside of the thigh.

>>4050931

Nice muscles, but you gotta work on your line confidence friend.

>>4050879
Something a bit off about 3rd down in the center, try moving the neck over a little bit.

>>4050951
the mandible has an angle and the chin doesn't make a beeline straight for the earlobe.
You don't have to make it super square (turns the face masculine) but you've got to include it.
Pic related.

Is there a particular name or artist for this style?

>>4049841
All paths lead to Hunters Keep, Good Arisen.

>>4051051
also curious about this too

You like it? Is this a good anime fanart?
As a side note I'm dead on the inside, I misread the limit date for the art contest as "august 5th" when it was "august 2nd" so I won't be submitting anything. I'll just pretend I lost to 3 people from here https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/kaijuvol6artcontest/ I can count like 6 or 7 that could have won the first three places depending on the jury's tastes though

Inspired by Kokimantarou?

I tried to do everything I’m uncomfortable with in this image.

>>4051364
Nope, sorry. :)
Thanks for the name though; just checked him out, very dynamic stuff unlike mine.

>>4051356
I love this anon.
Looking for what you're missing & I find I agree but can't really put a finger on it.

>>4051354
Are you inspired by Nurzhan Bekkaliyev?

>>4051386
Yeah, kind of!

>>4051356
Nice hatching anon! But, here's some things I noticed:
Imbalanced posture. It looks like he's going to fall towards the front.
Right shoulder looked dislocated. You need to connect the clavicle to the shoulder/lift the shoulder up.
Inconsistent shadow direction. Maybe introduce some solid blacks on areas facing down?

The soft brush/mechanical gradient kinda brought the picture down. Maybe use some soft watercolor-ish texture brushes instead? Like the evangelion anon above?

>>4051381
yes me neither, my best bet is shadow but when i add it it doesn't hold up. it might be that the colors are too flat.
i'm glad that you like it anon it really means a lot

>>4051390
yeah i think you're right man, i was planing on adding some solid blacks like you said.
i really want that waterolorish effect you're talking about but im having problems getting it in tvpaint so far.
anatomy is something i've been runnign away from for a long time so i guess i'm not surprised

>>4050510
Besides the knee, this looks fantastic

Which brush(es) did you use for coloring/shading?

>>4051369
Ah fucking fuck, I did it with the blue light filter on.

>>4051421
I will try to fix the knee!
Also, check this post for brushes >>4050422

More knight shit

I need to study a whole bunch of shit before I can make this one more appealing

Whatever you do, don't post this on r9k

Help with this? The right horse's head is off, kept messing with it but I can't seem to fix it

>>4049918
CSP default brushes I fiddled with a bit

>>4051578
are you drawing real horses or fantasy horses? The one on the right looks a bit like a pig.

It's not very "textured" despite all the hatching. Some places on the body, like the collarbone and the lower body pop out. But other lines don't really follow the forms, like the chest and midsection. More detail on the anatomy might give it a better sense of weight?
Maybe look into the work of Moebius and how he hatches, if it appeals to you it could be useful.

Hows my animu? I'm not used to anime, but I've managed to force myself out of my comfort zone, I think.

Really reminds me of this dude

Tried to bite off more than I can chew with this piece. Spent more time than usual and it still looks unappealing at this stage, probably need to take a loss and scrap this for now

That's done with Dry Textured Creases brush in Krita, although I intend to use rounder brush to render it more if I were to keep working on this piece.

>>4051803
Ah I see it now too, thanks for pointing that out.

>>4051671
idk man but the face seems hella derp to me. Kinda hard to make smiling anime faces not derpy though. So ill give you that

>>4051671
Not sure if this works with your style, but I think the face would look fine if you redrew the mouth

>>4051369
I love this man, good work. I think it would help if you worked on your lineart, folds, and hand anatomy, but it's very a e s t h e t i c nonetheless/

>>4051887
I tried fucking around with the colours since I wasn't happy, but yeah. I know all those suck because they are my weak points exactly. That's why I wanted to do this piece.

Thank you anon.

>>4051671
