The people producing the food are in complete control, but I wouldn't want them to live like kings just because they are lucky enough to be in that position. On the other side, the rest of the population shouldn't get completely free handouts for not doing a damn thing.

I would probably try to set it up so that the ones with the most direct control/access to the production and distribution wont be overpaid out the ass. Ripping of democracy, the positions would rotate, so you don't have the same prick in there for years. Also, if they abuse their power in any way, kick them the fuck out.

Just sell the food to the rest of the population at a fair price, not for profit but enough to pay workers and cover production costs.

I like the trace in your gallery.

Though this is yahoo news, atheists know more about religion than the people who follow it?

That looks like it was done in 3D instead of photoshop

There's virtually little difference aside from some bare colors. What are you trying to get out of photoshop here? I don't think it's your photoshop skills that need improvement, but your drawing skills. It looks like you drew half a face, and then just drew one right next to it.

I'm guessing you're trying to go for something like this?

And another.

Trying to break out of comfort zone by not using ref or going into details, just a large brush at 80% opacity.

Try not to get too bogged down by the details until roughly painted everything in. I just adjusted some shade and simplified a bit.

I'm sorry, I have a strong urge to be a paint-over whore today, hope you don't mind.

Go vote for me..... PLEASE!!! :D

Too many unnecessary details, simplify with bigger brush strokes. You don't need such thick contour lines, the difference in value will serve the same purpose.

Did a quick paint-over to show that you do not need so many details, simplified brush strokes sometimes work better. Straighten the gun out.

I'm not sure what to say for the pose... it looks strange and awkward for some battle jump. I think it would work better if the characters arms were spread in a T shape (jesus style) above his shoulders, as if he's jumping down.

Sorry for the size, had to make it smaller for NG.

Morality is the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Good from evil. The good are the values which support life and the evil are the actions which destroy it. Animals have no choice in the matter of supporting their lives or engaging in activites which promote self-destruction. They act only to support their own lives. Animals don't have a morality because their choices are predetermined by their instincts, they can only choose the good. Leaving the option of evil barred from their reach, therefore animals are amoral, meaning without morality.

Morality exist in the same ways as laws, people make it up. How can you even tell if good and evil exist? Dolphins have been known to murder for fun, I'm sure they're just being good and supporting life. If the choices of animals are predetermined, how come they can be trained to do stupid useless tricks that would have zero benefit in the wild?

Works now, thanks.

Used to be able to see medals on a game's page. but not anymore. Any way to fix this?

Color made it worse, I need to get better at that.

I want to see more isometrics, those kick ass.

Yes you can, others did it before you, they did nothing that you can't. The reason is because you just make some thick marks, and that's it. You need patience, I bet people who drew with a mouse spent hours. Use a small brush, take your time, get reference.

Hell, nobody even says a tablet is the same as a pencil. Even if you drop $1000 on a high end wacom, a pencil always has better response.

You can either troll, or you can improve. If you honestly want to improve, step away from whatever program you're using, and stop with color.

Go here, try out some stuff in the first book. Try some of the exercises.

At least try.

Elaborate? You're not helping.

Anyway, I've taken a look at some of your other stuff and I'd suggest you should try to get regular anatomy right before you start exaggerations. If you just start messing with body proportions, don't just randomly change proportions, have a reason behind it. In cartoons, brute like characters often have huge torsos, square faces, huge muscular arms and tiny legs. A slightly build torso and bigger than average arms with the rest having normal proportions make for the hero archetype. Think of what you're aiming for when doing these kinds of things.

I remember seeing a cartoon model sheet explaining how to draw child like cartoon characters, showing how there's a rule for large heads for the cute look. If I could get a link to that, it would help in explaining my point.

Arms are tooooooooo damn huge, head too long, legs too short.

What's your goal in exaggerating the anatomy? To make him look like a dumb brute (TF2 heavy), or perhaps you want to make him look tall and thin? Certain exaggerations give off certain messages, so what exactly do you want to show?

Also the shading and the pose look kind of flat.

And that kids, is how you troll like a pro.

1. Nobody here has any reason to design you tattoos
2. The tattoo artist will do it, it's his job and he's the one who has experience putting designs onto skin

Do it.

Look at her art gallery. MS paint, with comments like "I took 8 days, DO NOT STEAL".

So yes.

I smell a troll.
