i think people here dont like my scratchy drawing so.... a little bit less random
And i donno, i dont mind game censorship so much in australia, the medium just isnt accepted as adult entertainment yet, but if you give it time it will happen. Only thing that shits me is that someone else decides what is morally right and wrong for me, that makes me a sadpanda
Flay, I think maybe go a different direction with the nerdiness...maybe if you showed the entire face? I really like the idea behind it though, more power to ya!

It's not that they object to the scratchyness of your drawings, it's the fact that you don't seem to move beyond that I think that they were objecting to. I think they were suggesting that you do your scratchy thing to get down shapes how you like them, but then you go back over them with a different pen or pencil or w/e and pick out the correct line. Clean it up. It isnt that it cant start out super scratchy, you just have to then go from there and define the line.
tynic - Coveys a really cool mood. Would be awesome if you extended the bottom of the canvas and just drew in (really simplified) some people and store fronts.
again, that does nothing but kill the mood of the piece
the fact that you can't see the ground is part of what gives it that eerie mood
throwing a whiteish grey ground in there with some scribbly things on the side just gives a feeling of "hey yet another painting of an old fashioned street"
I really disagree with everyone on this. The mood is cool but the image is weird. I would go into one of my rants about art requiring purpose but I doubt that would go over well. I will say that I feel the image needs to extend down further...but without the light hitting the streets as WCK has done. A couple of silhouetted figures strolling through some cool shadows though could really hit the spot.
Personally, I'd like the buildings to continue further down without an end in sight - they just fade to black.......which seems to be more or less what the image is already doing.
I want to do something for the weekly challenge asap, so I'm definitely done with that painting for now. But I was thinking of coming back and tightening it up, so I may try implementing a few suggestions.
Dorito, why doesn't she have a butt crack IT'S COMPLETELY FLESHED OVER WHAT HAPPENED D;
p.s. Tynic I heart that painting. I agree that some very vague detail at the street level would polish up the piece, but it's a doodle and the atmosphere is still super great.
Why did you put that dramatic lighting outside the window and then kill it by putting a light on in the room? Seems to me the painting should either go in the direction of only the sunset as the light source which would cause some pretty dramatic lighting in the room, or close that window and just have one simple light source in the room and put more into the emotion like ND mentioned.

Kendeathwalker - I'm not sure. I agree with you, but as for my reasoning, I guess I thought there would be a light on in the hospital room. Trying to be practical I guess?
Random thingy. I was laughing at hotchickswithdouchebags.com earlier, I guess I picked up a little douche in this guy? Needs more kissy lips and sideways peace sign.
Neck: Fudged up?
Mouth: Too far back?
Facial planes: Accurate?
Also, F87, don't just change the emotion on the faces. If you can, the girl on the side of the bed is sitting up WAY too straight, especially if the scene is meant to be emotional. Have her hunched over slightly, disheveled and such. Have her trying to make eye contact with the bed-ridden girl.
Doctor needs more contrapposto, especially if he's trying to break bad news to these two girls. The stance he's in right denotes power, authority, etc. Any doctor with bedside manners will either be sitting down or at least trying to get themselves to the level of the patient, especially for bad news. A slight head tilt or something.
Girl in bed...is she in a coma? Or persistent vegetative state? Because she's staring into the middle distance like she's replaying her first time roleplaying with handcuffs.

The city looks like it is buried underneath hundreds of feet of sand, I don't know if that's what you were going for or not.
If not you should probably break that up with some geometric shapes, yo.
Also I'm not thoroughly convinced the top of the building in the foreground would be fading like that. It would probably more likely be a solid shadow, more or less

i really like this, it's very expressive
that would completely destroy the mood it sets
no store fronts either.
yes
the desolation would be ruined by brighter colors or hustle and bustle
did a little paintover of what i think may work better
Just my opinion

kind of (very) experimental, I used grids but the composition's probably terrible regardless
ignore the text, I just wanted to see how it'd look/wanted to fill in empty space

If you guys had to finish this image by tomorrow morning, what would you do first?
I'd give the doctor a moustache
ND - I know It's hard!

OK!
edit: just noticed the replies
Arfenhouse - Thanks, you're right. That would be hard to change at this point though. I should think it out more before starting...
Fugitive - Uhg, you're right. I'll work on that. Thanks.
In that case, #B.
