Thoughts?

The bleeding head, shouldn't the blood that is at the back be behind the neck?

I was thinking that the hole head would be in front of his body, so all drippies visible, I guess maybe a shadow in there or something might make it more obvious. It's also partly because I didn't really want it to make a ton sense from a spacial standpoint.

Have been slacking on the drawing front lately, wanted to get something done. Trying out something a little different process-wise.

What do you think? I'm thinking of cutting out the halftone in the pants, think it's a bit much.

Kraig just posted some work a few weeks ago didn't he? So it's safe to say he's alive.

Nae never existed in the first place, just a twinkle in everyone's eyes.

This is hilarious ha ha. Maybe a little overkill with the lumps, but basically perfect.

Dug this thread, gave me something to do the past hour. Picked people a handful of people who have submitted to this thread whose style looked doable. Some turned out better than others, Aigis was definitely the hardest and is the least representative out of all of them for sure. There's a quality to his linework that I couldn't quite get right.

Also, I'm interested in knowing how you guys actually would draw a ballcap. None of you had any pictures on your profile of someone with one on, so I guessed, curious how incredibly wrong I am.

Not solid on this hashtag to let notify someone thing, but I'll try it out. #Kinsei #Absinthe #Fifty-50 #Morthagg #Aigis #Lucky #Carrion #Sockembop

Out of the current first 3 pages of the latest release I only see 3 pieces that I would lump in as "crummily drawn manga." 1 per page doesn't really seem to be enough to justify "there's too much and it's unavoidable."

Yes, there are some very popular manga/manga-ish artists in the portal that cater to the lowest common denominator, and have subpar work considering how popular they are, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's overwhelming.

Poorly drawn sonic porn!

I remember some guy who had a TON of sonic comics revolving around foot fetishes, seemed really niche.

I was more reminiscing on the portal just having a ton of straight up porn on it, not necessarily porn people drew, which can still be found in the portal today, so not really the good ol' days material.

We could celebrate by flooding the art portal with porn, like the good ol' days.

This is how it looks if I connect them up in PS:

Weird, it lined up before, but I think I know what I did to fuck it up.

Anyways, here's one that should line up better:

Also @LoboF can suck a weiner for making something so hard to connect to.

Anything I could do to help? It lined up on my end, but I don't know anything about flash, so if something needs changed/fixed let me know.

@Astranime, @Captain, @CloudEater, @Exedor, @JackDCurleo, @J-Qb, @spags and @Takopako, how far along have you guys progressed? Will it be ready soon?

Done http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/1701041f333eb9bb84cb4cd76c3bfd4a

Lemme know if you need anything else.

Just the front cover for a better look.

I have to do some more work on the jekyll and hyde cover before I want to post it, but it'll find its way on here.

Had to make a dust jacket for 2 books for my graphics final.

Did one for Akira and Jekyll and Hyde. This is the dust jacket I made for Akira.

Done with Pen, Watercolor, and Digital.

Woops, didn't mean to quote someone in that last post.

Anyways, here's it by itself without the other piece.

Yeah, sorry, didn't realise.

Was changed for reasons that became moot, and I'm actually debating getting another name change to what I've been signing my art as ha ha.

It should show up if it's done properly, similar to the forum reply notifications.

Gotcha, that one showed up. Turkey was just doing it to my old name. Sorry for the delayed start, I was just checking the front page for a PM or a notification, didn't have time for checking the forum.

I'll have it done by Wednesday all the same.

@Captain-Ben

Sorry, last week was finals and haven't been online much, and didn't see this until now. Is the @ thing supposed to let me know when it's mentioned in a post? My account isn't Captain-Ben anymore, so that might be why it wasn't working. I didn't realize you had assigned me a piece.

I'll work on at least having a WIP by tomorrow night to post. So I only have to connect on the left side of my piece? What'll be on the right?

At 12/1/13 08:17 PM, TurkeyOnAStick wrote: OK chaps, thanks.

I'm game for whatever, do you know which one I'd be connecting to? If you shoot me the title piece whenever it gets finished I can connect to that and something else.

At 11/28/13 03:46 PM, BlackmarketKraig wrote: Thank you. What was I even apprehensive about?

Because posting in the art forum is for squares.

Well, I mean I guess Group C at this point. If there are any gaps that need filled drop me a line.

If you're still taking people on, I'd be game for Group B or C.

...this made me laugh!

It's been foreseen.

Just a t-shirt design I did for a local club. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Trying to build a stronger illustration portfolio, specifically trying to improve my sense of narrative. This one is getting there, but not quite yet. Next 2 pieces I'm working on right now are stronger, gonna try and get those done at a faster pace.

Done with acrylics and photoshop.

Higher quality: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/captain/party-foul

Here's a mostly finished drawing/painting of a dog for current assignment for class. We went over doing underpaintings with acrylic or something, scanning it, than digitally painting on top of it in class. Makes things looks less digital. Trying it out, really liking the results.

Probably going to do a lot more of this. Really helps reduce the time to create a piece to. Might actually need to buy a scanner now ha ha.

Finished-ish project. Changed it up at the end because I was getting bored and didn't feel like finishing the chest or pedestal. Still some tweaks and things I want to add to this, but will probably be a bit until I get the chance to. So for now it's done. Will be adding higher quality to portal.

Actually very little blending so far, it's still pretty rough when you look at it up close. Blending it all smooth and adding details like scratches and stuff will be my last step. It's been a good learning experience, but have a lot more work still to do. Due Monday, so I'll have it finished then!

Another update on digital painting project. Abdomen just about finished, still not all nicely blended yet, but shadows/highlights/shapes are all refined. Chug through the rest of it over the weekend.

Very early WIP of first assignment for digital painting. Everyone has to draw this statue. Traced the photo for proportions (part of the assignment), all rendering is done from reference. Have most of my shadows and tones blocked in aside from a few small areas I'm not happy with yet, should be ready to start blending/adding smaller details soon I think.

Taking a digital painting and illustration summer course, really pumped about it. Just went over the history of illustration and the basics of blending today in class. Spent the afternoon practicing, starting to get the hang of it.
