Punch, I watched John Rambo. And I enjoyed it.

I love it, I promise I'll get my Rambo munny done someday.
You really captured the apathetic "I don't care that I crushed your grandmother's brittle bones and raped her corpse" look that Sly Stone always has in his eyes.

Well I was thinking this...
there would be 2 options:

1. a "browse the gallery" option, when would lead to an alleyway with the posters all glued/taped to the walls of the alley, and then...

2. a "play" option in which the camera zooms on one of the TV's, which flickers through the posters slideshow fashion.

I'll try it in red Chymo, and post it.

Anybody else have suggestions? We should really think about a maximum size restriction, so I can adjust the stage accordingly.

I'm fleshing it out a bit right now, this would be the menu (half finished).

I also think it's cool as shit you broke down the username. I hope people really appreciate the time and effort you put into the individual profiles, especially when there was over 100 entries.

I'm urging All Free market libertarians/republicans to vote Obama, and destroy America, for the good of America. Tell your parents, and ask them how much more confident they are that mccain will suceede over their confidence that obama will fail.

I agree with alot you say up until this point. I will not vote Obama because he may cause a resurgence in more freemarket/conservative politics if he fails miserably during his term.

Also, I will not vote for McCain, especially his push for the bailout, and probable continued excessive spending on some of the policies The Bush Administration has started, which are contrary to most libertarian ideals.

I will vote for who I believe the best nominee suited to be president is, a third party canidate, Libertarian Bob Barr.

Many people will say Barr has no chance of winning this election, and they are right, but things will never change unless we show politicians, with our votes, that we want change. We have to stand up and vote for what we believe in, not "the lesser of two evils" or in your statement, "the greater of two evils" (side note: I'm just using a phrase that is being tossed around lately, I don't believe McCain or Obama are evil).

There was a poster in a classroom once when I was in school. It read "Stand up for what you believe in, even if you stand alone." If we both agree that we like neither canidate, then why don't you go ahead and stand with me, so I don't have to do so alone?

I believe your stated stance, sir, in the long run, is counter-productive to what you want to induce.

I can only imagine the horrors of trying to use a fork without opposable thumbs.

Why do you think mods let you get away with making an individual thread for each piece of art you decide to post? Why not keep this all in one thread and be a good example for other forumers?

No offense, I love your work.

There will be but not available in the store.. because the quantity will be so limited.. its too expensive of an experiment to make a large print run and then have em sit on the shelf. I'm thinking like 5-6 books to test the waters and then greater quantities if the demand is there.

Something you might wanna check out, Luis:

www.comixpress.com

The setup fee would be around $36 for a 110 page, all color paperback, perfect bound book, it includes a proof copy.

Yeah it's paperback but.......

All subsequent copies are $11.62, and are printed singley on demand. Meaning fellow NG'ers can order a copy for themselves if desire, right off the site. You don't have to have a surplus waiting in the wings. The Newgrounds store could even link right up to the "NG sketchbook Tour '08" comixpress page and sell them from there, then the comixpress will ship them directly to the buyer's door.

It's very cheap, risk free and very plausible. It allows everyone who wants one to purchase one.

Here is the page estimates on printing prices Estimates

So half a month before the deadline of the collab, Stamper posts this bitch rant about the lack of quality submissions.

Then against all logic, people who spent time on their clips, turned in good animations within the last few days of the time limit. I mean, who would have thought that EXTRA time, would result in higher QUALITY pieces?

I can't wait to see disc 2, with all the EXTRA time (2 months) put into it, the QUALITY of the collab ought to be amazing! I hear that the start menu they put together actually has the ability to give viewers a HANDJOB!

:Ha! I've employed sarcasm!

If that sorry S-O-B, JimmySavage doesn't get his entry in to you tomorrow, I will personally go to his new house in Richmond, string up his cats from the rafters, beat him into a fleshy, pulpy mass, and drop that shit on your doorstep personally.

I got a new condensed schedule at work now! I can draw all I want!

No more 55 hour weeks for me again!

This is ridculous.

People expect to be drawn, and then PM'ed so they don't have to check upon the thread to see if they've been done? Screw that.

I got two ideas.

First and foremost, let this thread die off a little while till someone with talent, or JimmySavage and I, decides to ressurect it and draw some more portraits. Heck, maybe even all of you may try your hand at drawing each other. I mean, last time I checked, this was the Art Forum.

If that isn't to your liking, try idea number two.

You can try PMing me, when you are turn 18, with your address, and I will be more than happy to drive to your state and kick the ever-living crap out of you. It's ok, I drive a Mazda 1991 323, and get great gas mileage, so cost isn't an issue.

Well, Umree, it only took 5 minutes to sketch. He couldn't have put it in the 15 minute sketch thread now could he?

I mean, there is a difference of ten minutes!

Do you what can happen in ten minutes? Do you?

I'll tell you what can happen... you can search for an appropriate place for your art, that's what can happen.

You've inspired me to make another one!

Why don't more people comment on this awesome thread and submit work to it? Your quality is just too high. You are too good, no one wants to be so out-shown.

Thank yeh.

This is my last WiP post till I finish, sorry I keep posting so many with what seems like little added, but actually alot more has been added than you'll probably be able to tell from the downsized quality version here on the BBS. Texture to the flannel shirt, then the actual flannel stripes, shading underneath the flannel shirt to torso, hair touch-up, the undershirt, I also tweaked the right arm of the figure drawing base sketch (not seen in this screenshot) because I'm going to have him dragging a bear, instead of carrying a women on his shoulder (my original intent). Also, of course, the background. Seems this drawing has become not so loose as Mindchamber had originally implied, which is amazing, because I never spend this much time on a piece, which I've decided will be my half of an opening graphic for JimmySavage's and my website! Hopefully we'll get started on it this fall.

Now I have to go work on my doubles showdown some more and my munny.

Working a bit more on my "Mucker" piece today. I kinda like having large gaps between working on it, let's me concentrate real hard on small details.

I'd say you improved a bit. Nice work on the arms of the short sleeved dude, and your shoulders don't slant down as much as they used to either. Your poses still remain real rigid though, try posting up some action images.

Another tip on proportion: on males, shoulder are wider than hips.

On your armored suit dude, you might wanna slow down on your hatching so you don't extend out past outlines. With alot of practice later on you can move faster with out messing up.

How? It's a cartoon. Ever seen Nightmare Before Christmas, daniel?

Have you, daniel? I just scanned through your posts. Do you know what a butt is? Could you, daniel, without looking it up, tell me what a deltoid is?

.Use a pencil. PLEASE.

Yeah, because ink is useless and it would be so much easier to see a photo of a penciled drawing.
HA! I employed sarcasm!

I went through a stage where I did all my drawing with blue bic pens. There is no shame in it at all. What you might try doing that could help you is experimenting with pressure to create lighter lines, that way textures, like in your figure's clothing, don't detract from the overall drawing. It's hard to tell what's goin on in your drawing when all the lines are the same thickness.

Bic pens are great, because like someone mentioned above, they are always available, and they force you to think before you act, because it's permanant ink. They are awesome to practice with.
