thats a damned good point that I didn't think about. Thank you for pointing it out : )

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. thanks J-qb!

Thanks! thats assured me at least ^^

Yeah, I liked the colors I used, and also the result, but I'm not quitee happy with his body ...

Yeah his body does look a bit skewy. I think it's where his head joins his body...
maybe you should put his hands on his hips to add to the empowermentness

Good night now!

love the tankman sketch! He looks so empowered

honestly man, if it were me drawing that first front cover i'd just redo the whole thing, referencing anatomy and whatnot, since theres so much work needs doing it you might as well just redo it

Trouble is whenever I tidy my desk it always gets messy again

The reason i did not colour the whole thing in vector is because i cant. The whole thing needs to be connected and i could not manage to do that,. But thx for the advice i will remember that in the future :D
Maybe i will try to redo the colours but im afraid i don't have the time these next days. And sorry for the double post i feel stupid xD

lol it happens
it's good to do the lines in one layer and colour in a seperate layer, which is how a lot of people do it :)
and you're welcome ^^

Those lightning bolts at the top are the kind of smoothness i'm talkin' about ; )

well, cause the difference in value [basically shading] is quite extreme, you should do little white lines on the nails to show where the light hits, like this:

another good thing is line weight, with thicker lines for things closer and darker/in the shade, and thin lines for vice versa. Also thick lines work best for flat colours : )

Yeaarh. i get u. And i were doing while u posted, and is done now. have a look.

Nope, there's still too much white. Keep trying : )
for the bolts, add some highlights on the metal if you really want them to stand out

haha. but what make me sad is that is don't fill all the way out. But i fucked it up with it to start with so why stop, i could make some more shades if thats what your sad about xD

I'm feeling a light aura. I think it would suit the character best.

I second that feeling

I hope the weapon redesign isn't too far off.

damn thats looking awesome o.o

ooh! That makes sense lol
personally if i was doing that pose i'd tilt the head back to make it look like she's putting effort in, or add something for her to be holding onto/putting her hands on : )

apparently you have to write a load of essays before you even begin the actual painting in A Level art D:

At 12/12/09 12:35 AM, Raven-Night wrote: Here's my rough draft. Any suggestions?

Level 6 (fab aura)

To me her stomach looks a bit odd at the moment, kinda like part of it's been cut out. Maybe make it slope more gradually at the ribs rather than cutting vertically into the stomach?
Also the pose looks a bit odd, like her lower half is floating in the air...

Otherwise though it's looking great. Can't wait to see these when they're all put together! : )

At 12/9/09 03:30 PM, LegolaSS wrote: yes... check my news post about the collab for a better idea... if you dont choose one i will choose for you... *trying to keep an even mix of aura colours*

will do!

gween
can't you make it less blurry and smoothen it out a lot more?

cheers fulp and legolass

what, i have to give her a name too or d'you mean something else?
also i got no idea as to her aura cause i ain't so good with these things... lol

wip update!
redid it. will probably post up the first version when i've finished this one for some comparison : )

Come on people, pick some levels that haven't been chosen yet.

Don't forget to put some effort into them too!

I got my idea of bocadamondo

IT is the lvl 3 icon (I had mistake with Right arm)

it'd be more helpful for you to post/link to the actual image rather than just telling people where to find it...

Thanks J-qb, it's helped a lot

This is the kind of thing that, were it said to me, would make me want to kill you in a sudden blind rage.

I meant it constructively!
But I see what you mean. I'd probably do the same actually lol

Thanks Lundsfryd for not killing me : )

well now you'll prob be more inclined to back stuff up : )
hope you haven't lost anything though. I completely fried the hard drive on my last comp. My bro said it was a wonder that it even still turned on lol

The thing just frose all of a sudden and now when I try to start it up then the screen just looks really wierd and nothing else happens. Problem is I don't have any money for repairs, and certainly not any for a new computer. So I will probably not be able to work on the projects I am a part of. I have a freind who will try to have a look at it in a few days, but if he can't fix it then I might be gone for a while.

that sucks man D: hope you manage to get it sorted soon cause having a broken comp really sucks, especially if you had a lot of work on there
