Wow. Really nice stuff indeed.

Love the golem worm, the detail on it is great.

wanted to draw stuff.

here is stuff:

and before you ask, something funky happened with the colors while saving. made some of the black lines less.....black...not sure why.

I miss the hair on the left side of the head

I miss the hair on the left side of the headnot sure how that would be shown from the angle I have him. ideas?

Somehow like one of these two. More likely the second one

I was thinking along the lines of the second one, but I'm just not sure how it would work, exactly, given the eye and all.

Oh, your "door" may have thwarted me for now, Mr. .Power, but next time you will not be so lucky! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

*Goes off and builds clown cannon*

(Oh, and I forgot to mention, but I really liked your sigworm/golem stuff too.)

That golem worm is just. Oh wow, awesome.
DANGIT AKU AND YOUR TABLET SKILLS.

well, here's another one for tonight. what can I say, I'm bored.

just wanted to draw someone using a dragonball, and saffya seemed a good, generic candidate for that. bandana added to her sig for the sake of showing it's just a weapon.

I don't really remember the fireball from the game being white, but I'm just being picky. Nice picture.
Although the highlight under the headband seems odd, as it's brighter when it's further from the fireball.

I don't really remember the fireball from the game being white, but I'm just being picky. Nice picture.
Although the highlight under the headband seems odd, as it's brighter when it's further from the fireball.it's actually equally bright, but now that you mention it, it really shouldn't be. didn't think of that :p

and actually, the 3 colors of the dragonball are there, I just took the liberty of making it shiny (IE making it a Linear Dodge layer) and that turns it whiter than it was. I also used a bit of white anyway to make it look generally better (read "shinier").

Alright, where should i start? *evil grin*

First and more importantly, i like the new perspective and poses you're giving to the worms. It adds more to the pictures than you can imagine.

Your lineart seems rather flickery. I don't know if you're making it directly into Photoshop or whatever with a tablet or scanning then. If you're going with the second option, i'd advise you to ink (digitally or otherwise) your lineart before coloring for the sake of homogeneity (believe me, i know it's a pain, but it turns out for the best).

On the cliff image:
• The hair, which Mr. Pyramid smartly pointed out and gave rather precise instructions on how to correct;
• The worm seem tilted to the right side for no apparent reason;
• The lineart is a bit inconsistant. Sometimes it's too thick and black, sometimes isn't (i know you pointed that out yourself, but i'm talking about thickness here, not colour);
• The background seems a bit poor. Maybe you could add some stuff before the horizon line. This' not very important as most people don't even draw backgrounds but it's something that worth the attention.
• The... cliff... with...the... lair... seems... pointy on the top... or just... weird... i can't quite put my finger on it... the perspective of the bottom part seems fairly right, but the top... there's something wrong there...

On the dragonball:
• The whiteness doesn't bother me... it's seems good.
• There's some weird highlight leaking from the bandana to the worm there. That's wrong.
• The highlight itself isn't very convincing as it doesn't affect the hair, body and scarf.
• And when you prepare a fireball, you leave the bottom hand with the thumb pointing away from the body and the upper hand with the thumb pointing to the oposite direction. So your hands are weird. :p

Good job in general. I particullary like the one with Saffya. Keep it up!

• The... cliff... with...the... lair... seems... pointy on the top... or just... weird... i can't quite put my finger on it... the perspective of the bottom part seems fairly right, but the top... there's something wrong there...



The top gives the impression of being a round structure, because of that sahding, that I think it's the problem, while the bottom gives the impression of being a straight structure


And I'm not sure if I made my point clear :-/

Nonono... nono... i got it now... he drew it in isometric, not conic perspective. That's why it's weird.

If you have an horizon line, Aku, the lines of any plane should meet there. Once you get the handle of conic perspective, aku, you'll see it's all much easier. ;)

First and more importantly, i like the new perspective and poses you're giving to the worms. It adds more to the pictures than you can imagine.oh I realize. and thanks :)

If you're going with the second option, i'd advise you to ink (digitally or otherwise) your lineart before coloring for the sake of homogeneity (believe me, i know it's a pain, but it turns out for the best).keep in mind that these are still my first few drawings on a tablet. I'm still getting used to the whole "actually drawing" thing.

• The worm seem tilted to the right side for no apparent reason;not sure what you're meaning here.

• The lineart is a bit inconsistant. Sometimes it's too thick and black, sometimes isn't (i know you pointed that out yourself, but i'm talking about thickness here, not colour);where are your problem areas in this regard? the sign is the main culprit of the overly black lines, so if that's where your complaint is, it's probably just the thing I pointed out. aside from that, I guess the worm is a little thicker than the rest, but that's mostly just my own getting used to actually doing lineart.

• The background seems a bit poor. Maybe you could add some stuff before the horizon line. This' not very important as most people don't even draw backgrounds but it's something that worth the attention.it was kind of a last-minute thing and I didn't put the effort into it it needed to be actually good. I'll figure something out to keep me from spending too much time while still making a decent picture next time.

• The... cliff... with...the... lair... seems... pointy on the top... or just... weird... i can't quite put my finger on it... the perspective of the bottom part seems fairly right, but the top... there's something wrong there...possibly you're having trouble with the perspective? it doesnt' exactly fit in with the background at all. in-perspective you wouldn't see the flat grassy area at all. perhaps that's where your issue lies?
edit: the background was a last-minute addition. guess I shouldn't have bothered :p

• The whiteness doesn't bother me... it's seems good.huzzah!
• There's some weird highlight leaking from the bandana to the worm there. That's wrong. under the bandana? it's meant to be a glow reflecting from the bandana, but yeah it's definitely a bit too vibrant there.
• The highlight itself isn't very convincing as it doesn't affect the hair, body and scarf.yeah, I've realized that as well since posting it.
• And when you prepare a fireball, you leave the bottom hand with the thumb pointing away from the body and the upper hand with the thumb pointing to the oposite direction. So your hands are weird. :pcharged many magic fireballs in your life, have you? :p but yeah, I see what you mean. I guess they're backwards. oops!

Good job in general. I particullary like the one with Saffya. Keep it up!:D thanks!

Actually, the top of that cliff could actually be a slope, not parallel to the ground.
If the gradient equals the perspective, it would look that way.
;)

Great stuff, as usual.

Actually, the top of that cliff could actually be a slope, not parallel to the ground.
If the gradient equals the perspective, it would look that way.
;)and the door is built to align with the slope rather than the easiest way to build it! it's genius! paul must've wanted to torment and confuse his fellow scientists with an EXTREMELY awkward door, so that no one would bother him in his lab! :cool:

Actually, the top of that cliff could actually be a slope, not parallel to the ground.
If the gradient equals the perspective, it would look that way.
Could, but then it would be "pointy" like i said previously - and rather unnatural - and the door and the sign would follow the slope degree... I don't think that's what Aku was aiming for here. :p

keep in mind that these are still my first few drawings on a tablet. I'm still getting used to the whole "actually drawing" thing.
Don't worry... mine is too. A tip i can give you is to use the eraser just as you use the pen/brush. People tend to use the eraser just to erase mistakes, but you can use it as a powerful tool to get your lines straight and homogeneous.
not sure what you're meaning here.

When you get the tail right, you make the body tilt... that's not good.
where are your problem areas in this regard? the sign is the main culprit of the overly black lines, so if that's where your complaint is, it's probably just the thing I pointed out. aside from that, I guess the worm is a little thicker than the rest, but that's mostly just my own getting used to actually doing lineart.
Indeed, it's mostly the worm and the sign. If you spoted that already, i think you'll make the necessary adjustments in the future.
charged many magic fireballs in your life, have you?
I lost the track of how many. But i'm like Dan... my fireballs are puny and weak. I've always wanted to learn the Yoga Fire, though. :P

Could, but then it would be "pointy" like i said previously - and rather unnatural - and the door and the sign would follow the slope degree... I don't think that's what Aku was aiming for here. :p
I had a second look on the image, and all you'd need to do is to raise the horizon and all the background stuff up a few centimeters.
Right now it the whole grass plain and the cliff look as if they were standing on a slope which is descending towards the viewer.

Either that, or they're on a very small planet.

Either that, or they're on a very small planet.

Too much Spore, Plasma... But you already know that, don't you?

Actually, no, bonz. That is (or at least seems as it was suposed to be) isometric... paralel lines never intersect. :p

I'm saying this cause Aku use to draw isometric stuff all the time, so i suspect it was his intention here. His mistake was to mix up isometric and conic perspect. Isometric does not have horizon lines.

And i believe Aku should drop the isometric stuff as it's artificial and designed to fill some very specific niches.

Isometric does not have horizon lines.
Well, it actually does. Infinitely away though, which is hard to draw on even the widest screen and highest resolution. :)

Has anyone ever tried playing HL2 on isometric perspective? Quite fun.

32277
When you get the tail right, you make the body tilt... that's not good.only part I'm gunna bother to address I think.

I actually disagree here. I prefer the way it looks how I drew it. looks more threatening. oops, looked at that wrong. I prefer how you did it. my bad :p I'll fix that in the future.

Has anyone ever tried playing HL2 on isometric perspective? Quite fun.

Is that even possible? If so, I need to know how. (I guess you mean Half-Life 2 :p)

You can see from the lines I've added how I have fixed your image, Aku. It now looks 30% more Zen.

Is that even possible? If so, I need to know how. (I guess you mean Half-Life 2 :p)

There is a console command, although I do not remember which one. I actually discovered it by accident when trying to find how to change the fov. And then I couldn't change it back so I was stuck playing like that until I restarted the game. :p

Personally I like using fire punches, but this is pretty cool.

wanted to practice a few things. mostly shading in the style of neon dragon (http://neondragon.deviantart.com). I think I got the character shading decently but the ground needs work. any suggestions on any aspect of this pic would be appreciated.

anyway, here's the pic. don't ask what they're pointing for. :p

http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/362/accostedakupu2.jpg

The shading itself is good. I can't add much to it. Maybe it's a bit too detailed for such a small resolution, but that's more of an option than a problem.

The lineart improved but still look a bit blurred or something. As if you made it with a soft brush or something.

The grass looks really bad, and i think you know. The sky looks like it has been taken from elsewhere and poorly resized.

That's about it. I can see improvements. Keep working on it!

Nice, your now using 3 colour shading.

Shading looks a lot better like that, in my opinion.

OH hey, we grew an additional finger :O (I mean, stick to 3 or 4, preferably.)

As for my worm, you can literally draw him in any way you want. I prefer pupilless, but it works well for this pic.

The lineart improved but still look a bit blurred or something. As if you made it with a soft brush or something.yeah. I made it too thick to begin with and then tried to make it smaller. guess it didn't come out quite as well as I wanted.

The grass looks really bad, and i think you know. The sky looks like it has been taken from elsewhere and poorly resized.yeah, I realize how bad the background is. I wanted to practice it a bit but the result just wasn't what I wanted. possibly because neondragon hasn't done anything with a big, open background so I couldn't look at how to draw a field in her style. I'll work something out in time.

Nice, your now using 3 colour shading.

To be fair, I can only see 4. Either I'm blind or the 5th is very subtle.

There's a very subtle second highlight. You wouldn't see it without zooming in.

The fifth would be the thumb... either that or those are some sort of mutant hybrid between a worm a chimp.

Both hands looks weird to me

Erm, I'm not referring to digits on his hand. Those I can count.
I was talking about levels of lightning on the worm.

That picture is pretty nice, though something seems odd to me about Aku's eyes. Could be just me though.

I have no clue what that is but it is fairly well drawn.

I have no clue what that is but it is fairly well drawn.this is your worm on drugs.

alternatively, it's a troll-esque worm :p

It's not bad at all, my only criticisms being that it doesn't looks straight (his 'foot'/tail is at an angle), he's leaning to the left an unholy amount, and his tail looks wrong - there's far too much overlap between his back and the top of his tail. It sort of looks like he's sticking out of an apple... or rock... which he is part of... ummm... visual tip?:

and his tail looks wrong - there's far too much overlap between his back and the top of his tail. It sort of looks like he's sticking out of an apple... or rock... which he is part of... ummm... visual tip?:I've noted that and a few other things (like the curve of the jaw in relation to the lip) as things I should fix next time I draw something.

I have to say I really like his brow and eyes. There's room for improvement but they're really cool - not at all wormy in the classic sense yet very fitting to the image.

I wouldn't focus too much on getting things looking anatomically correct - it's a cartoon image after all, so the jaw line is fine as it is, IMHO. :)

Only thing I Don't like is the shading on the mouth. (lips?) It just looks a bit strange.

I agree with Jet. But then again, I always think your shading is generally rather off.

Vader did my job pretty damn well up there. I can't say much more than he said aside from: that angle of leaning is, indeed, possible - but only in dynamic situations. Much like people with their legs stretched straight up. You can't hold that position for nothing in hell. Same goes for the worm. I that was an action pose with something going on and a reason for the leaning, it'd be all good.

I agree the brows look nice and the shading of the mouth looks odd. You should've tried to follow the lineart there and properly shade the wrinkled lips (at least i think those are wrinkles).

Your shading is better, indeed, but there's room for inprovement. You should've tried to, first, enphasize the volumes on the picture. You did that on the jaw but forgot to do the same with te brows, the mouth, the eyes and so on. You should always try to shade them properly keeping in mind the volume they'd had in "real life".

Keep it up and remember: Think 3D - Draw 2D

Never heard of a horror monster leaning to make it look menacing, just hunching.

His lean is quite creepy but in a weird bloke at the bus stop sort of way.

You know the sort.

A bit like Plasma.

Never heard of a horror monster leaning to make it look menacing, just hunching.yeah, probably should've gone more for a hunch than a lean I guess.

edit: and I'm keeping the coolie and staff.

Haha, for a moment I thought that said earth vs lame. :p

Cool beans, though the right hand looks kinda weird. (Why would he even hold the staff like that? That must be rather impractical. ~_^) And the perspective seems a little odd...I can't pin down an example, but something just seems off. Maybe that's just me and my delirium though.

But yeah, cool beans!

(Why would he even hold the staff like that? That must be rather impractical. ~_^)not particularly. I posed myself holding my own Bo staff to check the feel of the stance before I started drawing. your hand being like that is pretty close to a few hand positions that work rather well, so that position makes for a decent staging position, which is basically what's needed in this pic. I'm not particularly trained with said bo staff, so it may be impractical in a serious fight, but at first glance it seems to work decently enough.

as to the perspective, I'd love to know what's wrong there, if you can find something to pin down. I'm not seeing it myself.

For perhaps the first time in any of your pictures, I think you needed an extra effect. Mainly, the flame hand; its too dull as it is. I only realised it was meant to be illuminating the place when I noticed the shading.


Otherwise, t'is good. The background probably could've been a little more complex, but good nonetheless.

Actually, I figure the misty-looking background here is pretty good.

Nice. His left hand could be bigger, though. And maybe the staff should be more ornate if it's for casting earth mojo, but if it's only for combat, at least some cloth wrapped around the middle.
Do excuse my nitpicking, though. :p

I just don't have an official sigworm because I lack anything that might bear even the slightest resemblance to artistic talent or creativity :p

Therefore I have a few unofficial sigworms which have appeared in various comics, usually consisting of a partially eaten apple and the letters "U" and "M".

Hey Aku I heard you are doing requests now, so I'm requesting too.

Just to go against the herd, I don't request
That's right....

I don't need to rquest as I am so interesting and compelling and challenging and wonderful and insightful and fun to draw that everyone loves to draw me anyway.

If you disagree you are clearly retarded in the brain. That won't stop me from eating it, though.

I have slightly owned myself.

edit: apparently Fan Art is so dead no one checks it anymore? :p

Well, let me be the first to say: awesome.
Epic as ever, great stuff, do more etc. :p

Nice! Very nice indeed.
Second one is better though. Better poses and such.

Nice work, Aku. I was going to comment right after you posted but was too sleepy, so as I am now. Constructive Criticism will stay for later

Good job, anyway

Note to self: do not post while intoxicated.

BEWARE! despite the disarming appearance, this beast is cunning! So intelligent he can even see the future! keep away as best you can!

Hahahaa, clever. :p

Okay so this ruins my avatar for me. I can practically see the red pencil in there. Thanks, Aku. :mad:

Heh, nice job, why didn't anyone think of turning Paul into a squid....

Heh, nice job, why didn't anyone think of turning Paul into a squid....he's an octopus, not a squid. get it right.

and the reason no one thought about it is because until recently we were all under his control, unable to see his true form.

Finally some posts after a full week

Nice, but who or what is it?

Paul is Davey Jones! :p

A squid octopus.

And its Paul.Power, got mentioned just a couple of posts back before yours. Isn't the red pencil a clear sign?

I noticed the pencil but doesn't looks too much like P.P

you are both really dumb

Just one of those days, where you just have this random dumb moment for a second.

Does that beat "I forgot wood is flammable?" :P

Nooooo, really? I don't know, maybe he's just having a bad day, or maybe he just really needs to cut his beard already!

That doesn't. But what you just did - pretending you know what it is and just forgot - is pretty damn far on the Goddam Stupid scale!

If you've read the news about a certain German cephalopod you'll understand Aku's drawing...

I don't really care

I don't really care

Yes you do.

Yes you do.

Ok you got me :(

News?!!? I don't read the news.

Heh I forgot what a squid looked like, I in fact did not do it on purpose at all, just a stupid mistake :p

For the uninformed people here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Octopus

Paul is Davey Jones! :pthought about that. decided I didnt care :p

We friggin hate Paul (http://www.der-flix.de/index.php?preselect=666)

Worms are generally supposed to be Cute 'n' Pudgy
well apparently I can't draw. I'm sorry to subject all of you to this monstrously misproportionate worm.

That looks pretty good. I like the stylized angular style.

That's cool Aku!

Kinda looks like a fresh cave painting to me :) Looks good, the flatness of it vs the shadows though make it hard to believe it's got depth (hence me thinking it looks like a cave painting). Still great stylistic representation!

I like the stylized angular style.I REALLY do too!

I even got compared to Genndy Tartakovsky for it. I think I might want to explore the style a little more! :D

Yeah, the angles and the high-contrast shadows are really cool together.

Hey. Hey, stop making me look bad! You know I don't like it when I look bad!

Welcome back to my thread that STILL hasn't left the front page despite being dead for a year...

anyway, I decided to see what I've learned while in art college, now that I'm preparing to move on to my animation degree. I did so by drawing SupSuper once again. Not sure why he's my benchmark, but hey whatever.

anyway, lemme know what you think. Critique is appreciated!

Ha, talk about a blast from the past! It's a pretty nice evolution, though my plasma gun has become decidedly less awesome over the years. :p

So I've been doing a series of video game-inspired low-poly 3D renders, to practice both my modelling and lighting (not so much the texturing as pretty much everything have been lamberts).

Anyway, I did one based on the Hell theme and with the general inspiration of Worms 1. enjoy. Also check out the rest of them at my blog:

Oh hey, I just noticed the other guys up there in the background.

Now I guess I can make a more informed opinion: I really dig this.

That's awesome.

I would do something, but... I'm lazy. ._.
