-Heavyrain's Art Thread-

[heavyrain]

There's only so much lurking one can do before deciding to start an art thread.

I thought I might start with a finished piece.

[heavyrain]

I colored my drawing of Lux's character that I posted awhile back. It's kind of a mess.

Helluva way to start an Art thread, mate. Wish I was that good when I started. Great little style you've already got yourself there, too - very colourful.

As for the second picture, that is a damn fine mess, but that's really only because you did your cross-hatching in one very, very dark colour and did it a lot. Wouldn't take it as a sign to shy away from cross-hatching, though - its one of the easiest ways to shade detail fast (though there are always alternatives).

All the same, good luck.

I definitely overdid it. Thanks for the encouragement.

This was my attempt at drawing a character relatively fast in different poses.

I like your style.

[Hyptosis]

Slick stuff and welcome! Love the clean lines, kinda a dark feel to your work in my opinion. Like Jhonen Vasquez or maybe Burton or something. Anyhow, thanks for joining in! Look forward to seeing even more awesome stuff. ^_^

[Lundsfryd]

^ what he said :)

[MasterMerol]

I like your arts a lot! The style has kind of a gothic feeling to it, and I love it!

[heavyrain]

Thanks guys. Burton, Vasquez, Roman Dirge, and Lawrence Yang are some of my favorites. ^ ^

I like your arts too, Merol!

More art.

[heavyrain]

It's just me. Don't get too excited.

[heavyrain]

My latest piece.

I like it. Looks sort of odd since the hair doesn't have the same thick outlines as the rest.

Somehow I managed to overlook this. Thanks for pointing it out; fixed it just for you.

[Jinberry]

I really enjoyed looking at your pieces. There's definitely a signature style... I love it. Keep it up! =)

[Ramatsu]

Your style has that dark touch to it, your style and art = awesome! I look foward to seeing more.

[Blablazou]

Awesome drawing, especially the second <3.

[heavyrain]

A piece I don't want to work on anymore.

[heavyrain]

Just some faces.

Really love those! your style is very consistent. But what's wrong with the first girl's nose?

That sucks, it was looking pretty good so far.

I don't know. I don't have a good eye for these things. Can you be more specific?

I may go back and finish it at some point. Who knows.

[sweet21]

Splenderificly splendid.

Thanks.

Another face, but this one is a robot. Sorry for the same boring pose. :X

This part of the nose, it just looks strange to me.

Update

[heavyrain]

Something new.

[heavyrain]

Thought I'd add this to my thread.

[heavyrain]

Just a head.

I really love that one! Looks like a screenshot from an awesome game.
I also love the lines and color choices in all your stuff!
