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

[Shadrok]

Oh it's a dress.   I thought she was wearing a T-shirt and a long skirt.

I saw it as either that or a dress. I was just being lazy and went with the dress since it was easier on the coloring (would have been only 2 min more to do it the other way).

Goot pic

I think the part I like the best is the back drop ended up turning out the way I wanted it to, I was going for the kind of school picture back drop feel and I don't know about everyone else but this is the kind that my High school used and I think it fits since that's when I last drew her.

Yes, it looks good.  Your efforts with the wolves are much appreciated too

I Don't like keeping people waiting if I can help it. It just that life has it's ways of doing what it does best, running interference.

Thanks for the comments everyone

Here the pic of Kim I was talking about in my other post.

I know I forgot her tail and that I didn't finish her hands but I'll do that in photoshop when I ink it. If you can't guess she welding something.

[Zedd]

Welding tools are hard to draw..

I don't think it'll be too hard.

I just need to decide, gas or electric.

[xHaZxMaTx]

Thermite welding, FTW?!

[Zedd]

Why not use the water kind...Its more cheeper

[Tiger_T]

It depends on what she's welding.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Besides, thermite is more fun :-)

[Zedd]

I'll thermite joo! But I wouldnt do that...It just prooves I am an evil jerk liek a heartless

[Shadrok]

Ended up not getting the chance to try to draw the wolves on Friday so I'll try again on Monday.

On the plus side though one of the things that kept me from drawing was my new DVD drive for my PC. I had to have a friend help install it 

since the last time I messed with the insides of a pc was back in 1997 and I don't remember much from the class. So I figured best have someone who built his computer  help me.

Anyway I did re-work the guard pic.

She's part of a pirate crew and they don't always get the cheep stuff.
As for what I'm going to use I think electric.

It depends on what she's welding.

I think it'll be some kind of paneling may be the housing for an engine something along those lines. As far as how much of the welder will be shown, it will only be the part that's doing the welding. The idea behind the pic is lighting. I though that it would be a challenge to work with sparks as the main light source.

Real nice

Honestly, it's not difficult.  Most of the connectors are keyed so you can't get them wrong, and even if it's a cheap one where the IDE cable can be reversed, it doesn't do any damage.  It just doesn't work

Anyway I did re-work the guard pic.

Thanks - that's better than my edit, so I'll use it in preference.  He's still smiling, but I guess that's kind of hard to change at this point.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

You could try making it an evil smile, perhaps?

... just a thought.

I'm just cautious about my computer is all, maybe too much at times but it's better to be cautious then to have a fried computer.

Should I just close his mouth?

Also I will post tomorrow the wolf sketches that I have.

[James StarRunner]

Looks neat! I just wonder how he'd fire the crossbow though...

[Tapewolf]

If you could, that would be great.

There's a pull-cord running down the side of the armour.  Obviously he can't reload by himself, though, so guards travel in packs.  Some of the more gifted soldiers are able to use magic to perform the reload and can operate alone.

[Zedd]

Everything looks great still in my mind..

[Shadrok]

I'm not too happy with the one on the right, he seems more sad the suspicious. I think it's the mouth that makes him look sad.

I couldn't resist animating it after making the changes.

The mouth looks okay to me, I think it's the left eyebrow (our left, not his).  I'll play with it myself.  The guard is spot-on, I think - thanks very much for the mods.

...and he just stands there and stares at me. I mean, can you believe that. I yell at him to get lost and threaten him by showing my teeth and growling and he just keeps on jabbering about how wonderful the weather was in Wolfhausen and how they had the greatest time there. He like.. told me half his life and his mothers too. I was like "STFU, or I'll bite you in the neck!", but he just wouldn't stop. He must've been deaf or something. Anyway, did I ever tell you about my journey to Fuchsburg and how I met my wife in the best Wirtshaus I've ever been to? Yes? Oh well. -- You know, when  I got there in the evening and started to search for a room for the night I thought to myself, "Gregory" I thought, "You need to eat something first.". And that was when...

[Manawolf]

The snouts are a big big for wolves.  I think wolves are a bit more slender snout wise.  But what do I know.

[Zedd]

He looks cute

[Tapewolf]

They look even less like wolves in-game.  Fortunately this is taking place on an alien world, so we have a cop-out :twisted

... But he *NEVER* blinks. Never.

.... Do you think there might be something wrong? :-)

Huh?


What are you talking about?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

What are you talking about?

I must have blinked, sorry. Nevermind... :-)+)

Bad Tiger, don't mess with Llearch's mind.  As for what kind of smiley that is..

Anyway, I suppose I'd better make sure the game still works at all in Windows.

[GabrielsThoughts]

the animation is cool, I can't wait till I learn to do that stuff.

[Supercheese]

I assume the actual animation process is quite easy. It's the editing and/or creation of new images that takes time...

Y'know, I should try to do the blink thing on some larger pictures. I've only done it on pixel work, usually under 100x100...

[Shadrok]

You've met Meg (the 2nd in comand) and Kim (the ships mechanic), here's Zak the ship's weapon expert, he's a Black Puma incubus.

[Zedd]

Very cool...I wonder if he knows my old man...
