Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

second page, I'll be working on page 3 now. Need this scene to read well.

Hey thanks, okay, here are some reworked pages for Sequence, let me know what you guys think

Fine art vs illustration = lol

For some reason this reminds me of the 90s.

Merry Christmas

Looks cute, she looks like she is leaning though, so does the snowman. Merry Christmas to you too! ^_^

Well, color theory is pretty complicating actually. I think e all learn the most about it form trial an error. This character's design would suggest he needs brighter color, however the colors you've chose don't look bad. Just a bit muted. I always work Sketch - Lines - Values - Hue/Color - Fine Details

But good color can be appreciated even without strong values. I'd study some artists who have really eye catching art, look at characters that are really strong and what colors are used in their design. Some colors work, some don't.

A lot of people mention the famous color wheel, but in my opinion only about half the choices on the wheel are actually strong. The others looktoo loud and obnoxious. But everyone has different tastes.

Here are some things I search for online when trying to get inspired for good color choices
Interior Design Colors
Graphic Design Colors
Fashion Colors

I guess it doesn't hurt to use a color wheel and then adjust where you want/need to. And also remember to use colors that stand out form you character's environment. Warm colors usually seem closer to the human eye/more attractive than cool colors. This isn't always the case, but is often true. We'll look at orange before we look at blue, unless the blue is super loud.

I still need some practice

Yeah, practice is always a good answer. This isn't too shabby though, I'm not really into chibi kinda art but can appreciate it when it's done really well. My favorite is 'Lodoss Island' shorts. They're pretty cute and funny. I'd say the biggest thing that stands out if his center of gravity.

Draw a straight line form the center of the head to the ground, and make sure the character is properly anchored to the groun on BOTH sides. Like a tripod for a camera. Unless you want them to fall on their faces. :D

its my first work and im new to art so don't expect anything amazing.

also if you think it's good you can go recommend it Here:
Earth

then if you want check out my other art

P.S the reason why it's so bad quality is because it's made with paint.

Go read some tutorials on space art, planets, etc, there are dozens online, and stop using ms paint.

Well I got another one for ya! This one I'm still working on with the minor details, but I want you to tell me what you think of it. I made it in celebration of the new Tron Movie coming out! ^_^

I havn't seen tron, neither the new one nor the old one. Well, I saw the old one but I've forgotten all of it. There were bikes right? :D

The man's pose looks solid, almost like something from poser or pose maniacs, while the surrounding enviro seems very empty. Also I'm not sure, but shouldn't the enviro be invetered? Like mostly black with light lines? Again, havn't seen it so I might be rwrong. You got your focal point down though, we know what we're supposed to be looking at. :D

The black looks a little heavy and a few spots look really well controlled while other spots don't. That is kind of suspicious. Truth is, you just need more time behind the pencil, so keep drawing these. There isn't much more that can be done for a picture that is this far a long. I'd say be a little less heavy on the shadows until you have a better grasp on values. Draw from life, and draw as frequently as possible. Good luck, keep it up! ^_^ And keep working in black and white for a while, it'll pay off to wait on color.

stiff art is stiff and bad, but ohs well

Happy whatever you believe in!

D: unfinished this one

some text

more

Some pages from sequence, trying to decide if I wanna keep this style or not. The forum will no doubt crush these and make them unreadable though.

haha, sure is cock out today!

Funny stuff man. :D

Pretty good stuff, you're getting better with every post. i try to work with tools I'm not comfortable with, and ones I'm not good with, whenever I can. I just don't show anyone the work, haha. It's good to be versatile I think.

ImpendingRiot

design stuff, just playing around

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten about the thread. Just have a couple of different titles that are getting near completion and don't have the spare time right now. I'll get to you guys in a few days to a week, I promise!

Keep painting until then! Paint paint paint!

words

Sounds good, that is the info we needed. I'm too busy, not a mod, and not super familiar with the forums outside of the art one. But I think there is also a collab thread/forum aound here somewhere, you might want to cross post there as well. Good luck finding a team mate!

Well, prolly spent 40 minutes on it so 'sketch' might not be the right word, heh

Very nice Vero! Always love your work. :D

Side scroller I'm guessing? Pixel sprites or soft edges? How many sprites? How many tiles, and how many fully animated sprites? Thanks.
