Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

good work though, oil or chalk pastels?
As for the pastels, I believe that they are chalk - it's a Faber Castel soft pastels blue box.

I plan to go back in and change some things, notably the unpainted chain on his skirt/robe thingy the highlights at the bottom of his torso/close to his pelvis, and the orange marks on his left pauldron. They're getting kind of messy and irrelevant.
And yes, I will listen to crits and comments.
Some Character design for my illustration class. Taking crits as brutal as they may be.

Trying to come up with something for a class assignment.
Which works better?

They are goats made with human silhouettes.
I make bugs sometimes (actually this stuff is over two years old).
Too big?
Looking at a picture and drawing what I see seems to be about the only thing I can do.
I may be biased!
Last week:
And this week. (Something's messed up with the elbow, and her behind wasn't quite that large). It's funny the ammount of problems that you only see after you stop looking at your drawing for a while.
still working, still lurking.... setting the a goal to pollute the doodle thread in the new year
spoilered for largish (tried the manual resize to see how it works)
Is it bad when the lurker thread makes you too afraid to post because all the damn lurkers are intimidating you because they're all so good?
Probably the last things I did artwise, aside from all my uni book scribbles, I should totally post my uni book scribbles, wakka scares me from the doodle thread:
demon guy
the perpetually unfinished self cartoon-doodle portrait of me as a Valentine's day battlemage
Yeah i dont finish stuff. Mainly because I lurk here and it crushes my fragile soul, also im super lazy
Oh also after playing New Vegas im totally in the mood to finish this:
EDIT: Uni doodles, linked for hugeness:

This is something I made for class, we were grouped together and had to think up a game design concept. It was a weird assignment because I attend a technical university (engineering). We invented Carmageddon but called it something else. The top one is the front page we had for our powerpoint presentation, the two others illustrate how the hypothetical players would be able to customize their hypothetical cars.
This is a sculpture that I did the 3D design for, based on a 2d sketch, then some skilled people assembled it. The picture is from my trip when I went to look at it for the first time. Also in this image: me (to the right). It is made up of about 16k tiny plastic cubes.
Edit: Resize!
At first I thought they were made of legos!
I have problems with white space between doodles. Kinda end up just filling it in with crap.
Sketch of some buildings.
redraw of a bear i did ages ago.
rough comic concept. definitely gonna re-draw this and clean it up sometime. maybe even finish it.
So uh, hey everyone. You guys do good art and it is scary.
felt like delurking today. maybe i don't want to finish writing my essays. o_O
I've had time to actually sit at the PC and draw lately (so my girly stitching has been left in a corner for now..):
Self-portrait doodle:
Draenei sketch (NSFW):

Progress, not perfection.
A line drawing(nsfw):
Photo reference:
Comic Book-y:
This is a detail from a WIP of my first serious attempt at digital drawing. It's Richard Dawkins fighting Ronald Hutton. (I'm rooting for Hutton.)
Other than that (and getting darker darks in the photo reference) you've got a pretty slick and refined style.
Yeah, I see the problem with the foreshortening there. (And my professors are always riding me about darker darks.) Thanks a lot!
Some of these are a little old now but it's all good.
and being an architecture major also means I have a slew of models / projects everywhere. Not really sure if they count but I still like them. Both of them have a full set of boards that goes along with them but a lot of it's technical mumbo jumbo.
Slimboc - I really like that sunflower weaved thingy
Symbolsor - i feel bad i can't tell who that is but he looks awesome
Enzie - I'd like to know more about your comic-y guy.
Progress, not perfection.
I got really bored yesterday and drew a quick sketch of Hobbes from the cover of There's Treasure Everywhere, and then I got even move bored and semi finished it. I wrapped it in spoiler tags because it's fairly wide.
Things to be cautious of: Line width variation and flatness.
Every line has a purpose, and the thickness and degree that it tapers off are parts of what makes them so important. For example, the shovel and caked on dirt have mega skinny lines even though they are in front of everything else in the image, Those bushes in the way back have super duty thick lines and attract the eye immediately into the background when they shouldn't be.
Also for the flatness, some of the problem areas are Calvin's shirt sleeves and the bushes and trees. Try to think of shapes more 3 dimensionally and the space they take up. Also the way you shade them can create the illusion of shape also. Hobbes looks pretty excellent in this regard. Keep up the good work and I hope that helped!
He's Kairos - the ancient Greek God of Opportunity. And punk rock haircuts. (I drew it for a friend who really likes Madeleine L'Engle; she wrote about Kairos as a philosophical concept in a series of books of the same name.)
A thing for school:
Hokusai's wave also feels very nice, making it dark kinda makes it feel more stormy and chaotic.
