The lines are great, I mean the colors. It still looks a little blurry.

Added a better horizon, some definition to the clouds, light rays passing through the clouds and the body, highlights to the icicles and a beach with a tree line.

Some finishing touches- Added some bubbles inside the body, made it more transparent and some more work on the clouds and that little patch of land...I think I minimized the blurriness.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix it.

Got 2 WIPs in the works, I'm gonna work on 2 pics at the same time. The point is to keep practicing on different things, to keep drawing as much as possible for improvement. First is another creature, second one I'll try to put out later, it will be more human oriented with some perspective. First line art:

Slight delay. 2nd WIP lines, some smart characters, this one had a perspective backround and characters but I didn't go through with the idea. I stuck with different angles.

1st WIP color update, slowly adding the light source and the shadows. This time, I'm trying to paint in a rough texture on the carapace, and adjusting the light source and later the shadows to show a texture in it. I thinned the outline a bit since the last try. Probably gonna put a swarm in the background or something. Next update will be for the 2nd WIP~

Oh that's more like a marker. I usually paint the color of the light affected area right over that, it's in it's own layer.

Lol. Yeah when I put in the spots, I saw that too. The mandibles really add to it too (the layout of the head Is similar to that of caterpillars, they look pretty evil) Doesn't help I've been playing AVP2 here and there. LOL Beast Wars

The skin tones look good. I suggest you add a darker background, especially if the flask is going to be glowing. The darker your environment, the cooler the glow will be.

Thanks, I'll do that.

I've been trying to add a bit more realism into my art. I'm trying to paint in textures in the shading, and practicing lighting techniques to see how far I can get with it. I think it's helping a little. I've been working on these two longer than I usually would on a pic, trying new stuff and because I'm picky. I'm gonna redo some of my older ones and add in more dynamic poses, in hindsight it looks like none of my pics so far are dynamic lol.

I googled that, wow. yeah I see what you mean! He's not exactly the mad scientist type even though I gave him that look, but yeah pretty darn close comparison

A Good Drawing, you also experimented with decent lighting, this shows you took time to think about the surroundings, however the scientist right hand gesture seems broken,either way these expressions especially the guy on the right, has my undivided attention.

The fist? I'm cleaning up those lines a bit, do you mean the fingers, or the perspective in general?

On a wider Perspective, i think it's the arm that looks dislocated, with the fist it's not as much as the perspective but the thumb, it just doesn't look right, the thumb bones are not fully established to give out the fist clinching gesture..

Oooh, I see it now, yup fixing it, thanks

Alrighty, put in the background (Used a stock photo for an idea of the layout of the ceiling), harder lines, fixed the shoulders of the guy on the left and middle, fixed the hand (I think), put in some minute details...not quite finished yet, just a little more touches here and there and back to WIP 1.

WIP update. Some cleaning up, more color, background soon.

I figured out what causes some of the blurriness; its from resizing the pic. I had been accidentally fixing this problem with my last pic by undoing image size after I upload it on to here, but I saw some small mistakes on my pictures that I wanted to fix real quick. So image size would be gone from the history and unable to get rid of. When I re-size it manually it gets blurry.

Does anyone know how to fix this? If not, I think I can just redo the lines to sharpen it manually.

Response to Art of Ace 2012-07-25 20:17:24


It's better to just focus on one pic at a time lol, I'm ready to end this one. >.>; Anyway, finally putting this one together, I had to revert back to an earlier save because my efforts to resharpen the picture made it worse. Almost done, excuse the quality because I had to shrink this reeeaaall goooooodd this time.

3 WIPs Incoming, basically redraws of my earlier pics in my profile with a little more dynamic poses to them. After these I'm gonna focus on the flash, but I'm gonna post art updates on that and maybe do a pic or two in between.
