The Clockwork Mansion

Not to sound like an egomaniac, but I've never drawn this well, and I haven't drawn for quite a while.  Granted, there are still flaws (why am I leaning so far back?  and I don't think it came out too well, but my clothes are supposed to be blowing in the wind and I think my head's too big.) but practice makes perfect.  Well, you get better, anyway. :P

You can also check out my (now defunct) 3D modeling thread here (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=487.0).

Yes, it's got it's flaws, but that's still very good at the same time! Many artists will make a stick figure type thing first and then add on to it. It may help with the "leaning".

Yeah, I tried that, but it apparently didn't work too well. :(

That's really good! Aside from blowing in the wind (which I think is pretty well done anyway), I like the detail you put into your clothes, and I probably wouldn't even have noticed the leaning if you hadn't mentioned it. The only thing I can see that's maybe a little bit off is the neck. It doesn't look quite centered between the shoulders.

Very nice job!

haz: with the sick figure stuff, blue is a good pencil, since the scanner tends to drop it if you don't press hard...

Of course, first you've got to get a blue pencil... :-)

Nice pic, though.

Not bad the proportions are a little off but it's still good.

This mite help with the proportions.

Also the size of the head varies depending on age.

Adult and 15 years old = 9"
10 years old = 7 ½"
5 years old = 7"
3 years old = 6 ½"
1 year old = 6"

'Never could make heads or tails of the whole 8 heads thing...


'nyways, nice enough solid figure, just needs a few more details on the head and your good to go. The head's size is fine.

I worry mostly about wheather or not the head matches up with the body than the actual body itself.

You're definitely better than me.

The size of the head is fine it's the measurement of the body I was pointing out.  The legs look like they're too short.

I was thinking that the legs were too short, also, but it could just be that the shirt is a little long. (I like baggy clothes.)

I experimented with texturing, not sure if it turned out too well, though...

Ooo. That adds a lot of depth to the image.

Nicely done, no less.

nice job^^

can i say cute?

i think itd be ok to say that

This was my original concept, so all I pretty much had to do was draw a new head and add a tail. :lol  Though I did redo the left (your right) foot (my dad said they looked like Egyptian heiroglyphics feet) and added a little more detail to the clothing.

Quite an interesting contrast - thanks for sharing it.
Somehow the clothes seem more baggy on the fox, although that's probably an illusion.
Is the head the right size proportionally, though?  I can't really be sure..

When I compared (excluding ears) it to the orignal (human) drawing, it was a little smaller, but I didn't think it looked 'wrong.'

Wrong?  I'm not sure, but the way I see it, the fox is going to lose out in terms of brain capacity.

Mmk, how about this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/xHaZxMaTx/Fursona_003.png)?

Yeah, that's better.  Head size is something I've found hard to get right myself...

yep, the bigger head did wonders, I have trouble with snouts messing up my head proportions, so when I do proportions I just dont include the snout into play and add it on once the base head feels right.

*glompu* TOO KYUTE!!! ^w^

Methinks it could use some shading... other than that it's fine. :mowsmile

Yes, I know I forgot the tail. ¬_¬

Oh my, Dakata's packing HEAT and I'm not talking about magazines or movies.

Good job, Hazzy.  That's funny stuff.  Silly Daka thinks you're a marshmallow.

Nooooooo! *attempts to rescue haz, but also burns*

That's a good pic.

Wheee! Fire!

*NOT A GIRL* D: D: D:

...*Gives Hazzy a ghey hug* :B

So~ ... I might be missing something here but what's the difference between a hug and a ghey hug?

Ghey hugs are GHEY (gay)! :3

I still can't see the distinction.  *Dense.*

Apparently I'm only allowed to give Dakata ghey hugs. :B

* Rowne scratches his head.

Aren't all hugs platonic, though?  Or are 'ghey' hugs ... fondly hugs?  In which people fondle?

I'm not sure, you'd have to ask Dakata.  She does seem to grope me quite a bit. :help

HE! D': *Pretends to cut his wrists with a plastic butter knife because he's super-silly-emo D': D': D':*

...Yes. D:

Edit: *Looks at Netami's post* D: My fursona's a guy. And he has no boobies...unless you're talking about boobie birds. He has lots of those. And he has lots of hooters too. :B

You're not a guy until I see a penis. Or lack of breasts.

Breastlessness.

Edit: I have a rule - I don't post in art threads until I have made an inane comment. Apparently.

I had some spare time after a test in 2nd period today.  It's supposed to be a Mazda LeMans 787B, but I didn't have a reference picture so I did the best I could from memory.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/xHaZxMaTx/Mazda_LeMans_787B_003.png) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/xHaZxMaTx/Mazda_LeMans_787B_003.png)

Ooo, cute.

If I get bored, I'll see if I can strip the lines out of it, if you like...

If I were too concerned about the lines, I'd do it myself, but thanks, anyway.

Yow. That's a good eye for detail you have there. Plus, it's cool to mix in some technical drawing with character drawing.

Um... love!  :kittylove

the car is awesome... have you concidered drawing it from a overhead angle

I'm sure I could, if I wanted to.  I still have the paper lying around somewhere.  If I do that, I might as well do a front and back view, also.

Nice car

I'm spamming my own thread! :P

ooohhhh..purdy =3

Not finished yet, still need to draw Master Chief. :D  For those of you who don't play Halo (OMG, there are actually people that don't play such an awesome game?! D: ) and have no idea wtf I've just drawn, it's an alien race known as the 'Covenant.'  This particular species of Coveneant is called an Elite.  That thing he's holding is an energy sword. :)

Nicely done

Just though I'd make these easy to find if you ever decided to look for them.

(Yes, I'm bored, so what?)

Grrr, you weren't supposed to reply so quickly.  *Update*

Did someone ask for stickies (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/xHaZxMaTx/MC_Warthog_Vector_Stickies.png)? >:3

Ooh, that warthog's gonna be a-jumpin' more than a jackrabbit on hot coals...  :B

I decided, "Why not give back to the community?"  But rather than doing requests for drawings and what not, I thought that since I'm better at digitally coloring, I'd do that.  So if you have something you want colored just ask me. :3

If I wanted one for me I'd say something like, oh, I don't know, how about:
"Stupid people are like slinkies. They're not good for much, but they make you laugh when you push them down the escalator."
"God loves morons. He must - he made so many of them."
"Read it and weep, birth-control poster-child."

... or any of a number of other variants...

nice work. very 3D. CG right?

Lovely, now you need to livery it up.

I don't know how to do textures. :cry  But I've been looking at some tutorials for 3D Studio, so...

Sleep deprivation has strange effects on the brain. So very tired. :<  (It took me 5 tries to hit the period key and not the forward slash key.)

My software really is outdated compared to that.  What are you using?

Autodesk 3D Studio Viz.  Not quite sure how it's different from 3D Studio Max, it seems capable of everything Max can do.  Though I only use 3DS for rendering, I model in SketchUp (http://www.sketchup.com/).

is that better then 3d studio max? i have and old version of that but i rarely use it.

*quiet applause*

Not enough swear words.  :<

well done. i like it alot haz.

At first I thought you meant I should put 'Here guys, knock yourselves out!' in the speech bubble. :lol

Now that I look at it, it does kinda seem that way... but we both know what I really meant.

I never see people incorporate atmospheric refraction (heat waves) into these sort of things.  The original picture is a screenshot from a game (GTR2).

Sterescopic-y (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i213/xXHaZxMaTXx/ChampCar_Stereoscope_003-1.jpg)! :mowdizzy

Just experimenting/messing around with what can be done with 3D. :P

For those of you who don't know how a stereograph works, two images are taken (photographs, screenshots, etc.) with two slightly different perspectives (like having two cameras next to each other focused on the same point) and placed next to each other.  This is used to give the illusion of depth.  For this to work, you must cross your eyes so that the two images overlap and voila! :)

I think you did it wrong, because the shadows have also changed.

Why wouldn't they?

Nice.  The spoiler at the back seems slightly odd, but apart from that it worked well.

Quote from: xHaZxMaTx on August 27, 2007, 05:28:21 PM
Why wouldn't they?

i'm fairly sure the shadows wouldn't move unless you moved the object or the light source, and you're not supposed to do that.

Well, there are four sources of light, so some shadows may show up more prominently from one angle than another.  And the only thing I moved was the camera, so...

Unfortunately I can't describe what I'm seeing.  It seems slightly less tangible than the rest of it.

Hmm...  I'm thinking that may have something to do with the reflections due to the shape of the wing (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i213/xXHaZxMaTXx/4Bill_004.jpg).

I still hate the high nose, but that's just personal preference. The low rear-wing is good for a high top-speed setup, which is nice. Looks like it's ready for a speedway race. If only ChampCar still did those. And had more than 17 cars. And still had good races.



God, I miss CART. Champ Car's nothing but a shadow of CART's brilliance.

If I could get SketchUp working, I'd humour you and try my hand at a CART car.  I need practice. :/

This took about a total of 5.5 hours to make, and the poly count's around 1.4 million.

-EDIT-
Fixed some minor geometry errors, set up a little scene, used some raytrace materials.  Total number of polys here is 3,170,700.  Not sure what's up with the distortion, if it's just the reflections of the concrete, or what, because the geometry's all smooth and organized...

Hey, lookie what I just got in the mail! :D


Got it for my Champ Car (http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=894.msg99107#msg99107). :3  Though I must admit I was a bit surprised I got only an Honorable Mention after seeing last year's first place winner.  Ah well, I'm sure whoever it was that won deserved it.

Yay, quadruple posting. :B

Righto, as some of you may know, I can't draw for squat.  However, I like to colour in Photoshop.  'Tis fun. :3  So what do I do with the lovely art I received from Keaton (who has my many, many thanks and gratitude)?  I colour it, of course!  (Posted with Keaton's permission.)

And as I've thoroughly stated over MSN, I LOVES IT TO PIECES. :3 Honestly, I love your coloring skillz. You really seem to have put a lot of effort into this, the shading and colors have an almost waxy, watercolor-y feel, and the inking has nice and crisp lines... omigod it's great. XD Thank you so much for coloring this! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. :3

I am definitely going to check back here more often, especially since the stuff you have here is great. Excellent work! :)

~Keaton the Black Jackal

The fox strikes me as being too yellow, but apart from that niggling detail, it's bloody amazing.

I'd say the lines are juuuuust a bit too thick, but it looks ace past that.

Don't forget, you were starting from an excellent picture, and what you've done has really brought it to life.  It wouldn't be nearly as good if the underlying picture was bad.

And I wouldn't bother changing the lines myself.  Even if hey're too thick it matches the style...

**EDIT**
I just want to know if Haz gets out of it with his soul intact...

Mah boiii! What a nice way doing

I don't know if anyone sees it that way, but it almost looks as if the thick black lines are sort of "bleeding" outward.


Minor quibble, though.

Hmm, well, here (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i213/xXHaZxMaTXx/HazandKeaton_Complete_004.png) it is with thinner lines and more orange fur, so now you can compare the two and know for sure.  But yeah, it does look better with thinner lines.

Oh of course.  If I didn't think it was any good, I wouldn't bother colouring it in the first place. ;)

That is fourty-six times better. I counted.

Just a small query, what' up with her left hand? Her right is all black, her left appears to have yellow pattern on the back, and black on the front.

Is that intentional, or an oversight (on either KBJ or your part, mind, Haz...) ?

That was intentional (http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o15/Keaton_Mask/KeatonLightningShading.png?t=1185462102). ;)

I must say, this is rather awesome stuff. You are amazing at what you do, good sir.

Ah, I see. Unusual. Mostly, if you look at fur/skin patterns IRL, they tend to be more even - or, at least, I think so. Bright patterns tend to be on creatures that will give you a belly ache if you eat them, or are otherwise toxic - which is, I guess appropriate for Keaton ;-] - but often are symmetrical. I'm thinking like cobras, or the highly toxic species of snakes with the bright patterns on them (I have one in mind, with back and red bands, but sod if I can recall the name), but in terms of furry critters, mostly they tend towards camo patterns - tigers, for example, are striped so they can hide in the vertical shadows in jungles, even if in a cage they look -really- bright, they're nigh on invisible in the bush until they move... and even then...

Hmm. I should stop thinking now. ;-] Or at least talking about it ;-]

I believe that would be the coral snake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_snake).

As mentioned in the article, some other species mimic the colouring as a form of protective camouflage.

yes, that sounds about right. Thanks for looking - I was going to poke about later...

Don't really have much to say except I'm honoured to have been asked by Cog to colour his request from Keaton for him. :3  (Posted with Keaton's, as well as Cogi's permission.)

Absolutely amazing, good sir. You are incredible at what you do. I love it, and thank you again. *gives Haz camels laden with Ivory, Apes and Peacocks*

Nicely done.

That is indeed impressive.

Nice flare. ;-]

Nice flair, too.

Thank you all for the kind words. :3

Anyway, do you feel lucky, punk? ;)


Seriously, that is a huge gun! D: (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i213/xXHaZxMaTXx/Oni_Final_005.png)  I actually finished this last night (aside from the gun), but was waiting to talk to Keaton to get permission to post it.  I had finished the lineart and headed off to bed around 10:30, but figured I could do the base colours in a few minutes using the magic wand tool.  Long story short, I ended up getting to bed at quarter to four. :<  Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go put my hands in a bag of ice.

Omigod you make my art a zillion times more awesome than it actually is. Seriously, that is fuckin' A for Awesome, right there. Everything about both images are just fantastic, especially the highlighting and pastel colorings in the Oni picture and the dynamic shading and shinies in the Cogi picture. God dammit man, you have to teach me your color-tastic ways.

The only thing I used for shading the Oni pic was the brush tool.  Just mess with the opacity, flow, and hardness and brush size.  It's all about layering. ;)

Well...Frost did write something similar, admittedly.

I went to turn the grass once after one   
Who mowed it in the dew before the sun.   

The dew was gone that made his blade so keen   
Before I came to view the leveled scene.   

I looked for him behind an isle of trees;          
I listened for his whetstone on the breeze.   

But he had gone his way, the grass all mown,   
And I must be, as he had been,—alone,

Sorry to all the other peeps I owe stuff to, I'll get 'round to it. :<

Anywho, not really sure what to say 'cept here it is and it's coloured.  Please excuse the cliche background; it looked empty and that's all I could think to do. :dface

Thanks Haz I owe ya!!

Very nice.  I like the colouring on the bow.  The lettering is difficult to spot, although I suppose that's the idea.

Hardly - I owe you, remember? :P

Well, I wanted it to be legible, but still camo-ish; I had to outline in black or else it would have been next to impossible to read.  The bow was just a camo pattern I found on Google.

Its really cool Haz

Keepin' it afloat.  Thought this looked cool, anyway. :3

Click to enlarge.

Had to cut out the car, redo the windows (so you couldn't see the original background), redo the shadow of the car (same reason), make the reflection on the ground (which is not as easy as just flipping the image), add all the nifty bloom effects, make the background, etc., etc.  Didn't actually plan on making this, it just sorta... happened.  Very pleased with the result, though. :)

Haz's latest post has been split off and transferred to the Long Library, by request.

Wee, content.  Pretty pictures!
I was thumbing through my PhotoBucket, yesterday, and stumbled across these photos I took out in the Mojave desert a little less than a year ago.  It was supposed to be a really big storm, so my dad I headed up that way just for shits and giggles (and it hadn't rained in town for quite some time).  The times it did rain, it poured, but it was patchy and it only lasted about a half-hour.
Anywho, got some spiffy pics out of it.

Oh look, more of Keats' stuff coloured. :B  ...Stop looking at me like that, it's not my fault people only ever ask me to colour her stuff! D:

*Cough,* ...Anyway, this is actually my second time colouring this, because the first version was just awful (and I used a tutorial, go fig.).  I'm much happier with this version, even though it took about half the time of the previous attempt and was probably 10 times easier. :P


Posted with both Cog's and Keats' permission.

i guess Hazzy forgot about me =<

It just hit me that I completely forgot to comment in this thread.  :<

It's a very nice piece of work, Hazzeh. I like it very much, and I still think that it's a very interesting way of coloring that you did there. Thank you very much.  :3

Hey, look, more stuff inked and coloured, but not drawn, by me because I can't draw D:  'Tis a sketch I commissioned from Mew (http://mewzii.deviantart.com/) of that guy in my signature and avatar as a she (blame llearch and Ink), commonly referred to as 'Shazzy'.  Cute, no? :D  I originally wasn't going to bother posting this here, but somebody insisted I did. :razz


Posted with Mew's permission.

I used to just use the pen tool in Photoshop to ink, but that's boring.  Experimented with some other methods of inking, and decided that, while it's insanely time-consuming, and it makes my whole right arm cramp up, the polygon lasso is the way to go.  There's probably easier/better ways to do the same thing, but I have yet to find them, and the end result is worth the extra work. :3  So, yeah, I think the only tools I used to make this were the polygon lasso, fill, gradient and smear tools.  Also: I still suck at shading hair. :<

And be sure to tell Mew how awesome her lineart is. :>

As I've said before Haz, the coloring is simply fantastic. It's vibrant, and it jumps straight off the page - although I don't know anything about coloring, I do know pretty when I see it - and it is very pretty. :3

Excellently done, both Mew and Hazzy.

How did I never find out what a good artist Mew is?  Wow.

I thought that was Ink's work for a minute... but then, I see.  It's got cuter lines than he uses, and Ink never gives female characters a chest that small!
