I spent a lot of time on this one. It's a damned shame I can't get it to scan well.

really nicely done, it looks nice. And what I meant earlier was that it seemed a bit scribbled, but like you said, could just be the picture. Keep it up.

I don't really like the colors all that much... Maybe make them brighter or something, compared to the harsh contrasts of the black and white it looks too muted.

It would look better with more color in his face. He's so pale he almost looks dead, add some reds in there.

You guys got any criticisms besides the fact that it's unfinished.

I think that renderings always look much better with the less pencil they use. This gives it more depth overall, and has a wider variations which make it look better. The best way to learn realism is to learn from everyday life, especially with where lights hit their face. It also helps to have a definite light resource :P

I don't enjoy modern art. I can appreciate most of it, but i remember once, there was an exhibit here, and a piece was literally a line across a piece of notebook paper. I can't appreciate that.

If it's supposed to be a mouth, than shouldn't it have lips or skin on the other side of it? unless its just a maw. Then thats cool.

Only game I'm gonna be buying soon? Black ops. Looks pretty fun. (you can kill zombies as jfk or fidel castro). Only other game im interested in right now is skyward sword.
Maybe black/white.

Sega's ideas: "if megaman re did it and made it 8-bit, then we can do the same thing and be just as cool and popular!"
Haha, no. Sonic couldn't make the transition to 2-d to 3-d.

You expected them to respond professionally? :P

It's hilarious. I just posted "BAD" on every anime/furry/invader zim piece on the front page and about six of their friends from each group absolutely FLOODED my page. It's pretty entertaining, and reminds me how much better newground's feedback is. You don't get swarmed with hate or have nothing at all.

Cow has been dead for months, Chow for weaks, and Doubles for months.
You'd need to talk to TOAS about COW, SmilingIdiot for Chow and AwesomeSaurus for Doubles.

When I first came this place was swarming with activities... It's dwindled quite a bit, now. Anywho, I found

this very interesting. Architecture=art, so i thought id share.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same style as the Robot Collab, the writing art combo. So have at it what you will folks. I figure that this is a good project to get everyone back into the groove of art with a fun activity.

Speaking of activities, when is doubles, chow and cow gonna start up again? Its not the same without them...

if they even still do cow...

I will get back to it tomorrow evening when i finish work again. so would i smooth and manipulate the shapes by using the black pointer tool the same as i did for the lines in the original? or do you have another, maybe more useful technique?

Black pointer tool? Try the paintbrush tool, it helps loads. You might also want to come up with your own colors as well...

What should be my next human subject of interest?

Do a nose. In yellow.

Haven't updated in a while... Here's a sketch mainly focusing on formulas for the face and noses. I failed on the face part, looks a bit manly.

Looking really nice, I like it lineless so far.

I admit it hurt my feelings quite a bit but after analyzing this picture I felt like everything she said about it was right. Instead f arguing with her or insulting her I swallowed my pride and excepted the challenge to do better. Problem is I need help, any pointers???

First off, kind of a weird piece... But whatever floats your boat right? Anyway, I don't think Kinsei meant to really hurt your feelings, its called criticism, don't take it the wrong way. Also, its a he. Don't act like a saint because you"swallowed pride" and acted your age, thats expected of you.
OKAY
As for the piece, there's almost no color in it, they all look really pale and strange. The anatomy seems a bit off, especially the face, I don't like the shape. Keep it up.

Nope, the ear is proportional, it just looks a bit far off. The jawline could be a bit more defined, but other than that, its fine.

Recently, I've had the ideas and materials. But I just lack the motivation and drive to actually go out and draw. Probably being forced to draw x in art class makes me lose motivation...

Lets not trace and flat out steal stuff, thats not how you get recognized.

inb4 lock

I'll probably cook up something in a little while, my schedule permitting...

Do you have a reference image? The difference between this and your other art is a little too uncanny for me.

Done with my posting spree.

Happy birthday wishes vero!

How old are you now?

Your improvement in art in general is outstanding. Nice.

C&C will be appreciated.

facepalm. Anyway, its not all that well done, the coloring seems a bit rushed, and I don't think a scientist would be wearing that. Give'em a labcoat or something like that, and make him look a bit more 3d. People don't stand like that, maybe give him a pose.

My scanner made it look messier than it actually is, but I think I did a pretty decent job, considering how rare it is that I do realism. It was referenced.
Feedback?

Its certainly not bad, but it could do for some improvement. For instance, the shading is a bit half heartedly done; it looks uneven, and since a frog is really slimy, it should look very smooth.

certainly, keep it up
