I guess I'm in.

but its interesting to see other peoples concepts of the same character

If I dont make it with my final image, heres an edited version of my original sketch

oh what does it mean by video game re design?

the pressure of making art with a partner is good for me, I actually get something done, so Im in again.

a guy....and an empty city

kind of a "done to death" idea but I was just experimenting, cant go any bigger, thats the actual size I did it at :( I didn't mean to go as far as I did with it

If I get some time I might re do it bigger and better

looking good man :)

seems to me it needs a more defined horizon, that stretchs back for miles and miles, it will make the place look bigger think Mordor, get some inspiration there

Awesome color, texture, style, design, character, plot idea.. the one thing that I guess could be "wrong" with it is the same one that's wrong with our team's... one person kinda took over the show XD I wonder what would happen if Razac and I were put on a team... mass chaos?

then it would go on forever :P

1: AwesomeSaurus and Temariix

2: zurak and DooDooMeat

3: allgunsblazing and CyberStrike

God Listen I am not going to get stressed out everytime a person does not understand a thing I'm saying the first time.
I am saying that you should work more on the perspective The looks look kind of unsteady . I mean if the light affects some of the following objects you would think that would show like different varients around the surface shining on the where you placed it. Where as the shadows are aligned objects.

lol alot of people dont seem to understand your first post, I do I dont know why others dont : \

How many layers have you been working on this one the details in the coloring are just something you've improved from last year it has more range.

What's your method of coloring?

well each asset like the back ground....the creature and the people have their own layers...i try and keep the number of the layers low so the layer window doesnt get too messy. If I make another layer ontop of the creature layer to add highlights or textures or whatever I merge them after Im done.

the method of colouring..... lay down a flat colour get a range of similar colours and darker tones snd lay them down, smudge them about go in close with a number 1 brush and start drawing in details maybe start a new file and make a strange scaley texture which I then take and blend it over the creature....from that random texture I can pick out different shapes and form 3d scales and cracks in the skin with the burn and dodge tool. I use the burn and dodge tool quite a bit for some of the details andthe overall lighting of the picture. I then sharpen it and mess around with the colour balance setting.

I cant...thats the size I coloured it at :X

half way through I stopped and realised the way the picture was going...and that it had strayed so far from the original, I almost scrapped it and started again, but this time keep the line art there and "colour inside the lines" But I thought that it would still be a doubles showdown if my partner was the one that fleshed out the idea and I just refined/painted it.

shit missed a layer

ok finished....my partner said he diddnt mind if I changed some stuff on it but keep to the original idea.

I'll work on something for ya :)

uh ok....I think I did something that might be frowned upon....I got the line art from my partner, but as I was painting I kept changing stuff like some poses of the characters, certain details etc, but I kept faithful to the original concept....is this allowed?

heres the line art

just finishing up on the painting

well the original post said sunday 21st august....but that date doesnt exist because the 21st is tomorrow, Thursday....i wouldnt mind until sunday actually....bee really busy lately to colour mine ...but I have a few days off starting thursday-saturday

whats the PC mascot

stick men?

lol yea I missed alot of stuff but it was kind of on purpose because I was too tired to do anything.

but this is what I do when Im awake
