Paintingses. Left to right, WIP of a portrait of a friend of mine, painting of a Tai Chi dude from photoref that I got bored with before getting to the figure, update of a self-portrait that I posted of myself awhile back (basically the same as it was, except I threw some glazing in there to make my face shinier).
EDIT: Do browsers force a certain color profile on jpegs? I'm looking at this picture side by side in Chrome and Firefox and the FF one is way more contrasty and gross for reasons I don't understand. :?

I don't know if it helps, but out of curiousity I opened the picture in Firefox and Chrome and I can't see a difference. Maybe it's a setting on your version of Firefox or perhaps an add-on?
I'm on the same versions.
I suspect something's wrong with my FF install because all the menu fonts are all jacked up, but I don't know if that's a related issue or not.
MYNT! Man, it's been a minute! good stuff, yeah I'm liking the silhouette of the bottom one a bit better. The fuselage underneath seems a bit more balanced visually imo

Thanks!... I been kinda lazy on the art front... :P I wanna try to start being more active again, and shake off this winter hibernation...
(surprised anyone even remembers me here... It's not like I posted a whole bunch... hehehe)
I like it, Frank, but I can't get a fix on the rightmost edge of the primary mass with the city on it. Is it really rounded and receded or is it the sharper, inner edge and the outer arc there is something else or just a shadow of rough painting, or....?
f87, I love that so far, If I could make any suggestion It would be to move the horizon line from the dead center of the painting, and show off a little more sky! Skies are cool!
Super quick photo paintover to show you what I mean. I also changed the values a little bit.
When you get one, I recommend this arm to turn it into the greatest thing ever. I used the default wacom stand crap for years and this new arm mount has improved the experience so much.
I'm moving forward with the feedback I received yesterday. I also decided to pump up the mountain some, trying to make the city more majestic.
My main question right now: Do you guys think the composition would benefit from either moving the character closer to the camera, or removing the big rock in front of him?
That's looking pretty boss, Frank. Agree with Fug about moving the rock. Maybe off to the left edge to create a visual valley so we look at the guy? I dunno.
Sorry to cross-post this from my thread wherein I go batshit insane over one sketch but what the hey.
Not convinced that circle on the right is lining up, nor am I really convinced that it's useful to have the sphere there in the first place.
If you want to identify the planes, you might try taking a picture with less subtle lighting. Maybe put your face under a desk lamp or something that will cast some deeper shadows.
Well, I'm actually trying to grasp the basic shape of the head at this point, hence the sphere. How would one go about drawing a head from imagination if not with a sphere for the cranium? (genuine question).
I tried a more dramatic lighting but it didn't change anything in terms of the shape, sadly.
Basically doing some practice with planes on the simpler positions and the shape in the more difficult ones.
I guess it's more that it seems to be confusing where it is, in that it doesn't look like it's lining up with the actual position/shape of the cranium. I'm wondering if you're also running into a problem in trying to draw a bald head from a reference that has hair.
Maybe you didn't have to get rid of it all together, but perhaps move it or throw something else in the mid-ground, giving the image different points of depth for the viewer's eye to follow.

Here's a quick mock-up of a movie poster I'm making. Plenty of spelling mistakes.
Thoughts?

New character!
I'm not giving up though, you make me want to work harder so that I can make that
Thanks! Also no, he's not named Peter...does he look like somebody I should be aware of or something?

figure study!
Sketch of a female pilot I started last week...
Started trying to come up with her aircraft as well... Inspired a bit by the P-38... I'm liking the bottom one better

Can I get some feedback on my new environment? It's certainly not breaking away from my comfort zone, but I want to finish it nonetheless.
Super quick photo paintover to show you what I mean. I also changed the values a little bit.
I also worked on these yesterday and today.

Obilex - That's an awesome crit! It looks much better with more sky, thank you!
Sort of a high fashion red carpet alternate world lady
I worked on it more when I should have been cleaning instead

Can you guys help me identify the basic shapes at this angle? I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong:

He just wants to love yoooou! (with lazers!)
I think it looks better without the rock, the guy was "trapped" in it like Fug said.
Napoleon?
Why not Zoidberg?
