[Art] Shadrok: Art Pad (25 min face)

[King Of Hearts]

Ah yes... a nice steady climb, the years are kind to you.

[Zedd]

Beautyful

[Shadrok]

Pretty good looking for something 5 years back, considering all differences. (though, it's hell to make out from that size and jpg quality)

Oops must have linked to the thumbnail rather then the image 

I fixed it now.

I was digging through some old art trying to find some for The Quest For Improvement type of thing that Zina did a while back, anyway I ran across this while digging.

That's definitely your style, the quality has improved a lot since, though.

That's better... Yeah, it's very good. I could probably go as far to say some aspects were better back then than they were now, while others you've definitely improved upon.

*tries to figure out what didn't improve*

Well, for one.. that desk seems to look nicer than the furniture in that previous pic of yours... but it's possibly still on a different angle >.>

Ok I can see that, and it is on a different angle I didn't fully understand perspective at the time the desk was drawn. As for the chairs in the other pic for the most part ended up me just being lazy and just doing some quick chairs.

[Zedd]

Looks good neverless

You've definately receded from the toony style of drawing.

[Aridas]

I see shrinking heads. Mabye by 2010 the heads will be gone altogether?

Just uploaded on FA an animation showing how I tend to draw and color in Photoshop.

Its a flash file
How I draw

[Nikki]

[Zedd]

Super cool

Thanks 

As for the Flash file I've not had an issue with it loading but if anyone gets a message saying 500 Internal Server Error when trying to view it, give it a sec then try it again. FA seems to be going through a lot of headaches lately.




In other news...

An idea I've been toying with is to draw a picture of two characters that I play on an online game called urbandead a zombie vs survivor game.

My main character is named Conner Lycaon "A survivor"
and my alt is Ben Dead. "A zombie"

This is a work in progress of another of JP's wolves. The picture is of King Grey after he is shot. I decided to try and sketch this out in photoshop and I have to say I'm happy with the results.

I also worked on it as a small sketch then blew it up to add more detail, and for the most part all that is needed now is to clean up the lines and color it.

[King Of Hearts]

Ach! Poor little lupine!

Not fun, but superbly executed.
As for the colour, I'm kind of torn between a full-colour rendering and sepia, stealing the idea from Abel #52 - probably best to do colour, though - it's easier to go from colour to sepia than vice-versa 

Remember, Grey is light grey, which is considered unusual in their species.  At some point I'll also need a portrait of him alive, too.

As for the others you were asking about, I'll let you know.

[Nikki]

  that's a sad shot...possibly sadder that the one i drew of a dead draggy 

[Zedd]

Awww poor Grey

[Shadrok]

For those who remember the pic that I did for TGH, mite have noticed the clouds. I made them using a set of brushes that I found online. The only problem with them is that they're limited in the variety of brushes you can use before you repeat one.

So in an attempt to either add too the brushes or brake away from them all together, I made this.

I can't help but feel that the picture could use something, any suggestions?

[Drake Manaweilder]

well, those clouds look pretty dark, perhaps some distant thunder?

[Zedd]

Yes thunder will does nicely

[xHaZxMaTx]

A giant clothes hamper.

I don't really know how I could illustrate thunder but lightning on the other hand I can do.

Any particular type?

I walked riiiight into that one didn't I?

[Aridas]

Lots of cookies. Nothing is complete without cookies being involved.
