Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Why wasn't this thread clamped down on from the start. No need for it in the Art forum, but yeah w/e.

Horrible thread idea, and you HAVE to start the topic with an image, if it's to big compress it.

Please read the Art Rules

Thanks

Ok it looks good at a quick glance but there are a few anatomy/proportional problems.

Red - There is some major anatomy screw up here, the back seems to be pretruding out way to far and dosen't seem to match the waist.

Yellow - I understand that you were trying to define the muscles, but this looks completely detached, looks alot like a chicken breast.

DarkBlue - You already know about the lips, thin them out a little.

LightBlue - Once again the body is messed up, im not sure where it ends , and where the arm is, maybe thats a colouring problem. There's a good Tutorial Here.

Polykarbon suggesting that you think of the body as a bean, believe me it works 95% of the time.

I wish you luck

I think that you need to learn anatomy first, i'm in the process of also learning the human form and from looking at the human body OVER AND OVER i've realised a few things about proportion and scale.

The body is completely out of proportion and the head is just as bad. Try the skeletal structure before drawing the person.

Good luck.

but im gonna give it a go and see if i can get anything to look good behind him. thanks again.

Once again im gonna stress that by background information it dosen't actualy mean that it needs to behind BEHIND the focal image. I found you a nice example of what i mean

As you can tell there the background "Information" isn't actualy restricted to the background. Once again Good luck.

Artists of Newgrounds...frankly, I need help! I am looking for some collaboration so i can make episodes quicker. Very soon I will be returning to school and this will put a delay on Episode 3. I would like to be producing these at faster intervals. My dream would be a space of a month and a half between episodes. I have the story entirely mapped out, I'm just lacking in the manpower. I do everything myself and I need help drawing backgrounds ! Also, I will be starting a website eventually. So all in all, I need drawing help. Who will hear my plea?

So if you're interested in helpind me draw backgrounds such as forests, and cabins, please e-mail me a sample of your flash work or graphic design abilities to aeonstars@hotmail.com . My drawing style is a little different and it has a very sketchy look to it so backgrounds must accommodate this. In the end, whoever helps me with CTF will receive full credit and their name will be listed in the ending credits right next to mine, not below or a smaller font either. Also, you will be credited in the author's comment and my userpage when a flash is released. So I look forward to seeing work from anyone who is interested. Thank you! :)

It's a nice idea and i hope you do actualy find a few of ng's artist's to help you out. BUT from previous experiance trying to match someone elses style can completely throw the whole animation off and in many cases just make it look out of place.

Your style is incredibly unique almost southpark-esque and not EVERYONE (A few might) will draw or even be able to draw like you do.

AS i said previously thought i wish you the best of luck, i enjoyed the series so far.

Ok i'd just like to start with saying my hate for Jay-Zed won't effect this constuctive crit =].

Unlike all of "phok5's" work there are no background imagery, i'm currently doing a vector art class in college and the tutor stresses that background information is a key importance.

Jay-z in my opinion has many of the "Rappers" appearance and lifestyle about him , "Bling" and cars and money. You should try and incorperate this into the background ( Keep in mind the background dosen't actualy mean behind the foreground, over lapping of imagery and blending in/out is also a key importance).

I suggest that you go out with a camera and take pictures of objects that make you in some strand make you think of jay-z.

I wish you the best of luck and hope to see the finished peice.

(Yeah.. I know. Didn't change the hair. Most of you would properly ask why I didn't, but I don't want to waste my time on that right now! I've to run (literaly). There's a Taekwondo tournament coming up this Sunday and my condition could be better!)
-----------> If you still want a explanation why I kept the hair, tell me and I'll spend 5 minutes posting a reply later! See ya!

Apart fromt he fringe looking to "Clumped" it's a nicely drawn image, and i kinda agree with Bmk looks 20x better with the eyes opened up.

Nice job :D

At first it was hard to tell because there are so many different light sources, try focusing on 1 light source and working off that.

Apart from that it looks ok Good job

no doubt about that. you got the point. and about the picture.. its .. 'half' good

Why Whats Wrong Anatomy, Line Art...Penis?

Sharp Breastage, Uneven thighs , Wtf face...I think stamper has higher standards then this. Needs a serious re-lining and anatomy test.

these are my characters, not from a game, book, movie etc

The yellow faces have been over used (Simpsons mainly). Also ANATOMY is your friend, try and work with that next time.

That said i like the design of the gun although it'd be abit bottom heavy.

It's a nice image overall but the shading could use some work. Especialy on the arms.

It looks more embossed than shaded, making it stick out more than it should. A re-colour might be a good idea. Good luck either way.

Wtb more filter rape.

/edn worst pile of shite i've possibly ever seen.

Nah, leave it. It gives it character

No, it does exactly the opposite, most of a character is in the eyes.

Agreed, Just "Throwing" pupils in won't look right, eyes are used for showing emotion 100% of the time, and sadly without "eyelids" for one pupils won't cut it, i guess if you've drawn the eyes on a different layer, give them a quick re-draw.

I kinda found another crit with it neo :P, it might just be me but looking at the head more , it kinda looks a little big (Width wise), maybe it is just me but it's kinda getting like one of them big heads on theme hospital :D, + Understood about the floating thing now :D

The only problem i can see, is that the bandage gives no extra volume to the neck, making it look like it has been painted on. Apart from that nice redraw.

here's another, but i totally don't know how to color wings properly, as you can see:

Apart from the left arm being slightly thinner than the right, this is the best peice i've seen of your work.

VERY good job. :D

Dude you should make your own "Wip Thread" or keep it all in your neolight's art thread.

That said the perspective on this kinda throws me off. First glancing at the building it seemed extremely out of proportion with the scale of everything else.

Also there is barely a texture on the building ( On every other peice you've drew there was a visable texture), so it seems "Plasticy" i guess is what im trying to say.

Flawless character though :P Do you use refrence pictures or from your own anatomy?!

Hands and wrists are waaaaaaaay to small, apart from that its pretty.

Good job

I guess =p , well the main critisism i can give , is i suggest you tone your pallet down, use higher contrasts and lower contrasts of the same shade, rather than using a different colour completly. The colour on the body is hugely contrasting and hard to specify and see the light sorce.

I like the idea of the leg , but once again over done the difference in colours. The concept rocks though :D so i wish you nothing but luck.

Did this require it's own thread, as you've already posted it?

first time backseat modding, sorry. (are any mods on?)

Your not backseating a mod, backseating classes as "OMG BAN HIM MOD BAN HIM THE CRAZY FOOL" , your just pointing out the rules.

Good job doing so =] a link would help though :PREAD!

Creepy.

I attemped to draw various mouths, Big lips , small lips, no lips (just a groove) none seemd to look right. So yeah :P I did originaly do a goliwog mouth , and it did look rather good, but it took away the focus so i took it away, and lost the psd.

Nvm =]

Matt your gonna get a ban in a minute 3 topics with 3 shitty pictures. Focus on one topic.

Jesus mog , that was painful to read through ;o You pissed or somthing?.

I kinda agree with him though, the colours you used are EXTREMELY strong and seem to dominate the page, i suggest an all over transparancy or a change in colours to ease it into the background more, other than that nice job.

Never mind Good luck anyway.

Yeah i did this last year in college and just stumbled on it again , although nothing will be changed and i don't intend for this topic to flourish just wanted the Ng people to see it :P.
