    I think you need more..contrast.

    More dark shadows, and more highlights I suppose.

    Wak, the first one looks very art nouveau. I really like that look.

    I spent the better part of today playing metal slug games on MAME to cool off from end of semester crap. Decided to paint Tarma because he's rad.

    i know the vanishing points and what not don't match up and it's really sloppy ..and that the blocks are all different sizes, but i drew this anyways.

    One point perspective with the vanashing point in the middle on the very bottom would look a lot better, i think.

    If you post something in here is it frowned upon to post it in your art thread also?

    I tried doing a figure without using guides and as few strokes as I could manage. You be the judge.

    I think he needs to be streched vertically a little, Tam. He's only 6 or so heads tall. Also, his left hand looks larger than his right.

    the left girl is really good. the right girl is too, 'cept her left breast is a little high. The face is hot though. (left eye looks a tad high but not enough to detract from it)

    Hah!

    The goal is to make it in the style of French adverts from the 1920s-30s, i.e. strong outlines w/ expressive shading. I'm a little concerned that the guy's right arm is a bit long, anyone have an opinion?

    Ugh, I guess I've been shortening the legs by looking too much at the pelvic..thing. Thanksabunch, lyrium.

    I think we are gonna have to have quite the massive Spartan 300 thread round abouts the launch of that flick. I am talkin bout a bit of the old ULTRAVIOLENCE.

    Really nice new slight deviances from teh old compositions there Wakka, I think you've got Amano beat and are ready to usurp the FF design work throne. Needs more Bishy dudes however.

    You cats struggling with necks need to be drawing some jaw bones wrapping around from spinal columns and dipping down out of jutting cheek bones. Look at some Schiele or Pete Chung or some other chiseled grotesque deformed artists to get the drift better, kinda helps understand by overexaggerating the anatomy.

    You mean Art Noveau? No, wait, that was late 1800s.

    I also assumed he was referring to the likes of Alphonse Mucha and Henri Toulousse Lautrec. Which would be just prior to turn of the century France. I don't know if wireframes is a good start for that type of art, I like to think those cats were very much about the silhouettes looking crisp and luscious rather than bulky blocked out meatbags. Wakka has the right idea, though slightly too value heavy.

    Think flat tones, pleasant shapes, sharp angles, warped expressions and knifed on textures.

    I know it's not awesome, but it's the thought that counts, right? (It's my Christmas card to a lady friend of mine).

    I fucked up on the inking and I should have taken pictures before I personalized the shit out of it, but whatever.

    I'd be interested if you can tell who the dude on our left is. Without cheating. ;)

    How should I present it? I'm thinking going with cheap mounting + some kind of envelope. Def. not gonna frame it or anything, that's way pretentious.

    I think I got the torso and the hands good this time. Forget the head and the gun (they are just there... *sigh* I'll make them better someday) and I'm going to fix the legs below knees ;)

    seriously though. There's anatomy problems all over the place (not counting the ones you said you know about)

    Figure is off balance. Shoulders and neck don't form a T. Forearms aren't tubes that scrunch at the wrist. Boobs aren't cones. Hips on down really need to be redone. Keep practicing... maybe try some referrenced stuff for a little while. It helps.
