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!
i drew NEWER things NOT on paper

Glad you likeed the typography though!
Shit sticks I just noticed a weird typo on track for where it says produced by. Luckily I'm not the only one who didn't see it.
There's a few little issues here and there (his left arm looks slightly cut and pasted onto the torso, the sword isn't following the same perspective line as the hand, could have used a few more harder edges to balance out the soft ones) but, honestly they're all just pissy crits, I think you've done a pretty fucking good job all in all.
Also I cooked up this little paraody of one of my favorite albums/designs of all time. Probably gonna get nuked by photobucket though. A indictment on the current state of rap music I guess, but not Outkast cause they're still awesome.

Also and with another round of Arcadia, comes more comics! Woo!

See the hole back and forth sha-bang here.
Cool stuff, Adam!
There's something about that limited time-frame that helps me thumbnail out the bare essentials of what I want to do with the pages, and still have just enough time left to ink and finish them.
Oh and there's no shame in this thread Mango about seeing Spy Kids. I'm actually a big Robert Rodriguez fan, so I may even eventually end up watching that, who knows!
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS 7 WHEN THE FIRST ONE CAME OUT OKAY
And since my SS over at G&T already posted the gift, I suppose I could post it over here to. He liked Super Meat Boy, so I did my darnest to make a cool SMB custom Munny. It was the first one I'd done, but I've been wanting to try this forever. It was pretty fun, and I think I'm going to try to crank out some more down the line. It was done with spray paint as a base coat and acrylics for everything else. I'm definitely going to need a better set of brushes though. It was hard to take a picture without losing the detail and getting glare everywhere, I think it looked a bit cooler in person but oh wells.

Also, Your hand writing is ridiculous, its so graffiti esque.
Glad ya liked it BC I'm going to try to crank out some more of those sometime after Xmas. They're fun to do and perhaps more importantly pretty cheap material wise.
But I've been doing stuff I swear, like this flyer based on the cover for Susparia!
Man, for some reason I just can't get exicted about creating something for myself, so I made a poster for an awesome NH chiptune band. I wish my job was to make posters however I felt like for a job, that'd be swell.

Final
I think I may have lost something in the transition, but I spent way to fucking long working on the finished version to be dwelling on the things I liked about the 5 minute sketch.
also Fuck yeah Just-ice!
Satan, look! (amazon list updated)
So I tweaked the text, and fixed getting both the name of the band AND the album incorrect. Go me! I also tried to fix the colors, as the pink is looking darker on the computer I'm using Photoshop on. When I bring it over to this one I'm having a hard time separating it from the blue. Anything else I should try to do last minute?
Also the flyer I made for the event I'm throwing at my house. Be there or be fucking LAME.
You're probably already well-aware, of this, Adam, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
Nearest Neighbor resampling makes the image larger without trying to smooth out the colors so you can make sprites of guys breaking their baseball bats larger without sacrificing pixelation.
I think, overall, the biggest flaw in your art is that you're not using it to make comics all the time.
Thanks Toji, I'll try to do some more comic-ing very soon.
The Thhiiiiing
I didn't catch your comment on the botp, but thanks muchly. Hopefully the newer one is a sorta happy medium.
two things:
-I just commented on The Thing earlier not having seen that post (EWA and I agree: That's an awesome movie)
-I saw the Tribe Called Quest tee on the first page and smiled. You see, my friend was caught looking directly into a security camera while tagging a building. The good thing was his face was washed out and distorted. The bad thing was "Tribe Called Quest" was emblazoned across his chest. Without knowing that picture was in the paper and on TV, he was wearing that shirt the next day at school.
I'd love to see your take on the Thing and badass MacReady Adam.
I'll see what I can do for your request, surely there is nothing cooler to draw.
Not really a lot to show unfortunatly but I have been doodling on my breaks while at work, with bics and sharpies so here's those. They're on the back of these menu slips we have in the dining room. I didn't think these were that large but apparently they kinda are, at least the long way. Sorry!
Also Red Arremer, I totally made a MacReady mini comic and it was dumb so I never finished it or scanned it. If I didnt think most of my stuff was stupid I'd prob have a lot more to show... But I did finish my Wuphabet! So thats something, right...right? Once I get a moment I'll prob do a step by step thing on my blog when I get the time to put it together. Shit I haven't updated over there in longer than over here and thats sad.
Here's another little thing I'm working on now and I'd love some thoughts or pointers, because its an art gift for a lady. She likes giraffes and elefants so I figured I'd combine the two. Here's the initial doodle and where I'm at now. Thanks in advance.
Also here's a quick update on that animal. GAaarg the more I work on this, the more I dislike it, and the more I wanna scrap it and start over. This is why I don't like to art gift dammit. It just looks boring and it seems like it would be better if there was something more going on and better references from the animals. Any other thoughts on why this sucks?
Nib: I'm guessing it's to help show the scale of the Girelephant
