Maybe she's just really really strong.

linework in flash is sooooo long to make x_x I'm beggining to think it was a waste of time. And Flash sucks ass at making pronunced curves. I probably don't know what I'm doing :p

Is this competition strictly drawing? I'm thinking about maybe doing a photograph/digi art, and getting my friends sister to pose with a knife or something. I've done a few sketches but each time I keep thinking "This would look great as a photo!".

Carmilla on page two Poster her daughter photo shopped as a pimp, so I don't see why not, although it would be a cheap win to beat someone who worked hard to draw one :(

Errrm. Im pretty sure zach is capable of making a high quality photo+edit. It would not be 'cheap'

What I have so far more or less the line art currently fixing it and colouring it.

I didn't call his skills cheap, I said it would be a cheap win , opposed to working hard drawing everything.

I understand what you mean, but I can guarantee you I will be putting a good amount of time into this. It isn't just "hold this knife, look at the camera" and then upload it, I wouldn't be working hard doing a drawing, I'd be working hard taking the right photographs, with the right props, people, setting, making the right manipulations, then probably working into the image with some traditional media, so I would end up putting the same amount of work into it as most of the drawings being submitted.

I just want to know if this kind of entry is okay, as the art forum seems to be mainly drawing.

Here is what I got so far… I still need to do some work on the color and add a background…What do you guys think is it good enough to win a t-shirt or should I do another?

It takes a lot of curving of line segments, and you still end up with something you may not be happy with. I usually use the brush, because going back over it with the lines, though it can look good (like Stamper's pictures), takes way too long for me to care.

run as fast as you can and never come back

here's what i got so far. i decided to use a fairly popular "big weapon"...i dunno

i've still to do detail, shading, highlights, but it's a WIP. and tips/suggestions?

sorry for the double post...but what is the maximum file size (demention wise)?

there's a pop-up on the posting page that says 500x400 (which is the size that mine is), but now seeing it in the thread i can see that it's not very big by comparison. does anyone know the exact maximum?

At 11/29/06 10:51 PM, shmickname wrote: sorry for the double post...but what is the maximum file size (demention wise)?

595 x 700

Well I posted my shit.

Hey Mindchamber/Stamper, if I decide to change something in it later, could you guys delete the old one? I probably wont as I am quite satisfied with it, but I dont know if double-posts are allowed in that thing or what.

well ya got me, I guess I shouldve stated handdrawn art.

I would say it have to be a pretty amazing photo manip to even be considered,

My WIP, it fucking sucks.

Okay, well I think I'll have a go at it and only submit it if I'm completely happy with the way it turns out, obviously if you think it shouldn't be included then feel free to delete the post, as it might start a trend of other people doing the same.

I'm thinking about buying a toy doll and using that as the girl, could end up looking kinda grotesque.

I only did that in this case because brushing it wasn't giving me the style I wanted. The panels and the hard edges were starting to give off this organic feel that looked pretty cheap. I swapped over to lines to make the physical elements more solid and logical, more like actual bolted strips of metal and armor panels. When I draw, say, a unicorn, the brush tool makes sense because everything is a series of short organic lumps and curves.

In terms of the time it takes, I normally don't care. If it takes days, weeks, a month...so be it. As long as I'm happy with the end product, the time doesn't matter.

I was actually gonna suggest the line thing to Pox...like, he could hand draw the chick, then use lines to assist his armor and weapons...but I'm not the sort of person to be handing out advice. I figure whatever he does will be pretty much the bomb.

Same here, most people don't understand how I can make a picture that has pretty much no white space(on paper) without losing my patience. To me colouring in a backround is a pretty good time waster when I need it so I usually draw a picture before a long drive and add colour to it when I get bored. Usually takes me an hour or more to accomplish this because I crosshatch it or whatever you wanna call it at least with three layers of colour.
