Also foreshortening. Learn it.

Thanks. I messed with the contrast, I think it looks better now. But I see what you mean, and I will try to improve on that in the future.

I call that price gouging. Anyway, thanks for the concern, my family should be out of Japan by Monday. Should be ok as long as the seawater keeps the nuclear reactors cool.

Supply and demand. And there seems to be a lot of demand.
I think they are complete douches for doing that though, making a buck off of peoples desperateness and suffering.
So anyways, wheres your flight to?

I've also decided to be a picwhore.

WIP
need to add a background. and touchups
I am thinking of removing the lineart for the final product, since it does look nice, but for now, just gonna keep it there.
I did use some refs btw.

I think a good way to start off this collab would be to create your own starter image.
What is the actual point of this collab? Just making a bunch of Daft Punk fanart? Making pieces regardgin to the music, etc?
How many coauthors?
Quality control?
Also, why pixels?

Does this make me a bad person?

It had to be done.

I'm sorry.

Don't let the holy room die!!!

Time spent?
Maybe a little more crisp highlight on the eye. Places that look "Wet" tend to be more glossy
BTW I commented on your new blog :3

Weird. I responded to you guys, but it didn't show up. Idk.
At the time of that post, about an hour, maybe 2.
Thanks, and I responded to your comment.

@ Jonny and Fifty: Thanks!

-------------

Finished. About 4 hours of work total. Only a ton of more pictures to go (Woo.)
All of this attention recently is very much appreciated!
Moar comments wanted!

This collab is going to be more cards with boobs than not.

NG approves.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I am kinda pulled in two directions though, because the main focus is the eyes. That is the line of the poem that it is focused on.

Lookin' good :)

Thanks.

I'm suspecting those were meant to be removed though, it being a WIP and all ...

Oh hi sweetie :)
And yes, they are meant to be removed later. You're so smart! <3

I'm at my dad's house, and I didn't bring my tablet, so I will update more on that projct tomorrow. Working on more traditional stuff atm.

Thanks. It took a while, but I messed with the brush tool to make it a lot easier.

Everyone has ears btw.

Aw, icwutudidthar ;)

Sweet. I won't go further than this though (well, maybe a tail, but mreh)

Ummm... no. After staring in confusion for a few minutes, though, I see what you mean. Gonna change that now. Well, when I get the time.

--------------------------

I have a project in school. Gonna draw pictures to go with the poem
The Tyger.
Will show stuff here.

WIP
"Burnt the fire of thine eyes?"
Haven't made markings yet; the eyelids need more work, stuff like that.
Trying out a new way of coloring eyes. I'm liking it.
Comments, etc. Ideas for the other parts?

I believe the problem also lies with the legs.
Firstly, the upper body is very well done and exaggerated, but when we get to the legs, they look really... limp. It looks more like hanging flabs of loose, saggy shin than rippling muscles.
With the lower leg, you need to make the calf more prominent than whatever that is on the bottom. If you see any man with extremely muscular legs, there isn't that much beef near the ankle. Its all bone, just like with the knees, elbows, or wrists.
The foot is also a problem. Once the giant ankles problem is addressed, the foot is still to small. The tarsals should be longer. and the toes shorter. The toes look craggly and double jointed, btw.

His crotch is also muscular as fuck. Why? Wait, I don't want to know this...
But seriously, you can't get muscles like that on the crotch.

With the chest area, I would say the pecs are too small compared to the ripply muscles on the sides and the "wings."

Can't you just make another one? Steal an IP or something.
The General kids do it all the time, they've all been banned at least once. Ask around, I suppose?
Anyways, if you really care, you can always get a Skype or MSN :P
Or not, I'm just trying to be obnoxiously helpful. Lol.

At 3/8/11 02:00 PM, MasterMerol wrote: Ok, so here's what's bothering me. The pumpkin at the left was made with watercolor pencils, and the one at the left with prismacolor pencils.

Whats bothering me is that there are two left pumpkins.
Ignoring that, the one on the right is blended more, which I think looks better, but it is also more saturated and doesn't have the same shine as the one on the left, which is a downside. Vice versa for the one on the left, meaning that I like the highlights but not the poor blending.
The sun looks cool though.
Nice anatomy practice stuff too.

Well, whatever. There wasn't a camaro made in 369AD.
But this piece o' shit prolly was.

Stick this in your simple digits.

...aww, don't be blue! I like it!!! ;P

This puts us at 58 (not counting wip's or held spots) ...and exactly one week to go!

It seems that the cupcake limit and deadline will converge into a wonderful ending for a fantastically delicious collab.

I joined the EGB too, so forgive my unnecessarily long posts ;O

We have also hit page 369

You may start the sexual innuendos, but I prefer to take a more mature look at the good ol' '69

How is that even possible? Technically, there should be one user online, you.

Not if, at the time of the screencap, she was not logged in.

Now is the ideal time to make a stickam account and show me ;O

Just to make sure.. Troll?

Lolwat?

@ Kraig/Lux - You have a point, but there must be some line between "Ooh, that make sense" and "Lol you are being ridiculous this is stupid". This is way past the ridiculous line. I see what you are saying... but the concept of paying so much for a really stupid piece is just.... mind-blowing, I guess. It makes me wonder how gullible people are.

I've made the spiral alot less distinct and I think it's better now.

You still would want to put the spiral on the layer behind the cupcake.
It should also be centered behind him, not off the the left.
