Close up on the head. I'm debating on whether I should post this in the art portal... since i did start with photos and a wallpaper.

This is what I do all the time haha, the only difference between us though is you're much better than me! I like the Samurai the best so far.

Yeah I find it's a cool way to come up with neat ideas. Thanks!

I did some photmanipulation/painting and put my head on commander shepards! :D

Awesome, keep it up man.

With these two sketches I basically drew random shapes carelessly until I saw something that could be made into a drawing. Basically a good substitute for inspiration.

Kicking around some ideas. Not a lot of time now. School and such.

I've played some games where I fell out of the map and down into a piercing white eternity of nothingness.

Well it depends on what you're looking for, but personally I would go with Mass Effect 2 because I love cinematic games with awesome characters, and games that take place in space (like Dead Space).

Also, I don't have time for a game like Skyrim now. Mass Effect 2 is a bit more guided and less overwhelming. I could play Skyrim for 10 hours and feel like I didn't get shit done. I could play Mass Effect 2 for 10 hours and go on several meaningful and important missions and meet interesting new characters.

That said, both are awesome games.

That watermelon is awesome.

Draw Chuck Norris as a twinky fighting Mr. T as a chocolate bar!

Sackboy commander shepard skectch, I'm planning on making a painting out of it. He'll have biotic energy flowing from the raised hand and his omni-blade in the lowered one.

Some quick sketches. Might be basis for future paintings. If you see anything messed up with anatomy or angle or anything tell me.

Second one is awesome. I've seen these kind of things, but never really knew how people made them. So you uh render them huh. Interesting. The colors are great in the 2nd one, very unique and eye catching. Also, the watermark is much better. Now someone could use it as their computer background or something.

Eh, I'm sure there are tons more that I love...

AH! How did I forget Portal 2 and Half Life 2!?!?!?!

And the God of War trilogy. I'm sure I'm breaking a rule by triple posting, but these forums don't allow post editing (wtf?)

I played the first one and thought it was great, and then I played the second one and thought it was awesome. I can't wait for the next one. For me it's a good mixture of horror, action, good graphics, fun weapons, etc that make the games great.

Also, yeah I used humor to get myself through certain parts of the game... Don't even mention Amnesia, I can't handle that.

Interesting, I might give this a try sometime, but not during the week days (too busy with college). This could be like those "Draw cool stuff from these random shapes" threads.

I'm assuming that we would be free to draw more of her and continue the lines right? I need to practice my coloring, I'm trying to improve greatly as well.

I like your style. You should try coloring one if you can. First image reminds me of Jack Black.

Thanks for the feedback, and yeah I see what you're talking about on the green guy. I really like the line work you came up with mouth looks way better that way.

I think I should start doing more sketches so I can get my initial line work down properly.

Also on coloring, yeah I need to work on that. Coloring has been an interesting an interesting learning process for me. When I have time I'm gonna look over some things on face anatomy and how the body works, I struggle with that. I redrew parts of the Asari picture (like her stomach) a few time trying to get it right.

Changed background back, I like it smooth. Kept the little bits of lighting I added though.

Better? Worse? Opinions?

Almost certainly finished with a new painting. I might make some minor changes before uploading it to the art Portal. I already posted it on deviantART.

Comments, suggestions, etc? Also, for some reason when I exported the image there is this weird fragmenting in some areas. Ugh.

I'm trying to put to use the advice I've been given.

Interesting, I might find these useful.

As for the drawing, it's interesting, and you have potential (I'm assuming you are quite young). You need to practice, and learn. Use references, etc. Listen to critique and don't take it personally.

Oh wow, your art is awesome. I just recently starting doing digital painting. The way you color and shade looks very realistic. You're really good at replicating things.

I made up the other half of the costume but who gives a damn.

Oh wow, still looks fucking nice. I take back the what I said in the other thread.

I love how I'm the only person who comments in my thread. It's so quiet and serene.

I'm trying out different ways of coloring. This is just me messing around, wasn't intended to be anything special, I like how it turned out.

Awesome stuff man, especially since it's spray paint. Keep it up!

Okay I just have to say something. While Lintire's advice it totally sound, after looking through his art gallery, I'm just wondering how the hell he thinks he has the room to talk shit about the anatomy in someone else's painting. That said, he is right.

I really like the last two pictures, especially the girl with the purple hair. He's right about the anatomy issues though. I didn't notice them at first, but after he pointed it out they seemed obvious. I like the way you color though. Looks good in my opinion.

Also, yeah I too realized that flipping the image can reveal flaws in painting.

I might be interested if I see the photo. Maybe some guidelines, etc. I'm pretty busy with classes right now though, class just started and I already feel like I'm slacking off and behind...
