Greetings, fellow board members!
I'd like to present you a few doodles of Worms Characters I drew a few days ago.

http://npshare.de/files/37/6761/Worms%20Doodlings.png

I wanted to ask you which of these doodles you like most and which style you would like to see in a foreseen webcomic series (If I'll ever get started with that!) or in more fanarts. Also, I rather draw with digital media, like MS Paint. These examples were just made to get the feeling of how to draw specific expression. I suck with hands. Anyway, feel free to critique~

Your opinions will help me a lot. Many thanks in advance. =D

eh, not bad at all.....though you do definitely suck wiht hands :p but then who doesn't at the start?

only thing I'm looking at that could warrant a change is that when a worm is facing off in front of itsself the eye closer to the view should be near the center of the face and the eye further away should be closer to the edge and thinner.

I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Hehe, I see that Impossible Quiz there.

I don't think the hand are that bad personally. Aside from the one with the caption "I can't draw hands". :p

Anywho those are some pretty good doodles you've got yourself going there dude. Look forward to seeing some more.

Greetings, fellow borad members!


I bet you just did this because I bothered you over DA. :p
EDIT Oh wait, wrong person. :p

Nice work. Some of them are a little lopsided.
A good way to learn to draw hands is to make a little skeleton out of lines and circles.

Those are quite decent. But.. the hands, yeah. :p

Ah, yes. You're right. The distance between the eyes are a bit too far away. And the eyes are quite fat sometimes. =/

Hehe, I see that Impossible Quiz there.
You spotted it! +1 Skip

I don't think the hands are that bad personally. Aside from the one with the caption "I can't draw hands". :p
Hands can be the hell to draw. I also tried that thing with the circles shadowman mentioned earlier, but I'm still too dumb for that. Sorry. xD

Some of them are a little lopsided..
Well, that's what doodles participate of, I think, and as mentioned, I usually draw with digital media. Unfortunately there's no UNDO-Button in real life. xD
Hm, okay. I'll try to draw more linear then. =D


I thank you for your nice comments. I hope I get my ass moved tomorrow and draw and submit a few more drawings, this time a few digital ones. (UNDO-BUTTON!) Again, many thanks. X)

Hello there. The Kiljaden of Worms Universe? (I assume so, since it's not a common name in my experience.) Nice to hear from you.

I think the image with the Impossible Quiz is the best one. The worms look much more... well, not lifelike exactly but whatever the equivalent is for talking worms. I realise that panel is the only one with no hands on, but that's not what I prefer it.

I think that might be KilJaeden (http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=31078).

Either way, welcome to the forum Kiljaden. Hope you have fun :).

The art's not brilliant, but it's a reasonable start and there's something about it that I quite like. Not that you should be taking my word for it when it comes to worm drawing :p

Mmmmmm.... nice art.

Oh, no no no! I'm another Kiljaden. Never been on Worms Universe. =o

On that panel, I took a few excercises of tutorials. (That stretching tounge is from Splapp's old Worm tut.) And now that you mention that "no hands"-thing... *re-edits with crappy hands*

Either way, welcome to the forum Kiljaden. Hope you have fun :).
:D

Oh no, it's just practicing. Well, I drew Worms a few years ago, but then stopped for a long time. I have rusted. =(


By the way, here are some examples with MS Paint.
The picture's size is a bit lower now, because I draw really small in Paint. =/

I hope I got the hands slightly better this time. xD
I still appreciate your comments. Feel free to continue. =)

Still quite good. I think the problem with the hand is that you're making the thumb a bit too fat and long. That's the only problem I can see.

Really? I always think my thumbs aren't fat and long enough. D=

You should add more curves on the hands so that it would'nt look too blocky.

They do have a certein charm. I quite like them.
You do need to practice more with the hands though, but it's a promising start.

Ah, I know, but that's the biggest problem. Whenever I try to draw them curvy, they turn out agglutinated, looks really weird.
I tried to crop the digital doodle with a few curves at the fingeredges. [Here] (http://npshare.de/files/37/8975/Worms%20Doodlings%20Digital%20Differences.png) Only low differences between the one I posted above, but you'll recognize them.

Geez, thanks. =D I'll try harder in drawing. Maybe there'll be a Character Profile some time.

i just look at this thread is awesome !

Why, thank you. :D

Now beware, it's Fanartz!
http://npshare.de/files/37/3472/Worms%20Fanarts.png

Feel free to comment, and expect MOAR. X)

kewl :D .....

Not bad at all. Keep it up :)

This thread just suddenly made it onto my "be sure to keep looking at it" list.

Most of the time, that is a good thing. This is one of those times.

Wait, fanarts? And I'm in them?

I have... FANS?

*sniff*

Those are really nice
Maybe a little too dark

Really nice dude. And spanks for drawing me :)

where on earth did you find the picture of me you based that on? :confused: looks like you used the old grey and completely missed the Gi :p

either way they're awesome, but I'd love to know where you went to find that sig.

Ah! Thank you all for your kind words! I'll keep this thread up and try harder in my drawings. =D

Wait, fanarts? And I'm in them?

*sniff*

Yours was the one I spent most of the time with, because I wanted to add that extra shotgun, which by the way covers your outfit well. X)

Really nice dude. And spanks for drawing me :)
No problem, dood. *thumbs up*

I found it THAR (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=298185&postcount=4). I'm really sorry, I didn't know that one was old and thought it'll still keep. And I forgot the Gi just out of dumbness... Oh well~ D=
Addition: Edited farnart, Aku has now his Gi back. YAY!

I'd like to have your dA Accounts, too, so I can bring you three up in the description. (Just to say "Those characters belong to their owners!!1" doesn't look professional. >_>)

What can I say? You are pretty good at drawing worms the same way everybody else draws them. Good for you..

Like, draw from different angles, not just straight ahead. Move the camera and ad some bakground, perspective..

anyway, my dA is xelioth.deviantart.com

Draw me! go to page 49, The Character Profile thread to see what my sigworm looks like.

I swear you said you were going on holiday Shadowmoon?

I swear you said you were going on holiday Shadowmoon?

Yes i'm in Paphos but i picked up internet connection in my hotel, and i can go on about an hour and a half a day.

Yay.

Also i'm on my PSP with the internet, so it will take a bit of time to give a link to my sigworm.

Enjoying your holiday, I see.

Enjoying your holiday, I see.

I go on it when we are in my hotel room!

Now can we get back to the topic!

You're the one who brought up your holiday internet arrangements. A pretty trivial, irrelevant piece of info, don't you think? I take it you can pull yourself away from your PSP long enough to, y'know, be on holiday.

I can be ars'd with perspectives. That's a thing I have the most problems right now, but I'm already searching for decent solutions. Anyway, thanks for your advise, Mister.

lol, even the one you based it on has the gi :p eh, whatever works, laziness is as good an excuse as I ever use :cool:

Hell yeah, that's right! Well, I edited it at least, so I also have another excuse for that. xD
Still 1 deviant Account to go, RIGHT SHADOWMAN? >D

Sorry, no requests open yet. I'm still practising. =/

And please, no off-topic, Sirs. I'd like to have this thread clean from any troubles. It'd be shame having this thread closed due to such circumstances. Do me a favour and keep that in mind. Thank you.


However, I'm currently working on my own Sigworm. Not sure about any details, but you'll expect him soon. I also thank everyone for your support. It keeps me on the computer. ;D

*Thumbs up*
I like them, but the colors are a bit dark. The tails too short too.(On Aku.)But still, nice work!:D

I'm addicted to dark colors. I used them on my year-old drawings, too, just to hide the contrast a little, which makes the pictures looking old and spooky. I like that.
About Aku's tail, I had that in mind, too. But that's a problem of the size, because I thought, that when I raise the length of Akus body, it would look too stretched. But okay, thanks for the advice, Ted. =D

Dark coloring can be good and effective in a dark background
Without a background just look ugly

Fiiiiine.

Good day, peeps. I would like to post some new pictures right now, but due to sore muscles I got from swimming on Friday, I wasn't able to draw anything during the weekend. D=
I'm terrible sorry if you were expecting something of me right now. I promise to submit art up here when my arms get better. Therefore, see ya guys later!

It looks quite fantastic... great shading... I like it!

You are not being paid! think about that if you feel bad about not posting art :cool: It's your thread, people will have to addapt.

This reminds me... GAAAAARDYYYYY!!! FIX THAT SCANNERRRRRRR!!!

Ho ho ho.

Fine arts.

Dang, you're right! D=
Though my work here isn't worth any money yet, eh? What a pity. xD

Ho ho ho.
Fine arts.
Why, thank you. =D

My absence caused me to miss this thread.
Got some good stuff though.

My absence also caused me to miss this thread.
But that's Kelster's fault.

Also, good arts, I REQUEST.

You and requests. >_>

I don't think requests are accepted.....

I don't think requests are accepted.....
Not yet, but I'll think about that.

Oh right, I almost forgot about that one:
http://npshare.de/files/37/1399/Worms%20Comicstrip%20Teaser.png

Doodled it this week. Part of a comic strip based on one of my latest W:A online battles. Treat it as a teaser, I'll be about to finish that.

What are those stuff from the sky again?

This is not a joke

Armageddon meteorites, I'm guessing.

Nope, that's just fire from an exploded oil barrel. I kinda messed up with that. =/

Meh..

captions are always a good company to drawings I guess.

You'll see when it's done. =O

If you're gonna not take requests, you'd might as well not take mine.

[/reversepsycology]

Really nice stuff there, I'm keeping track of this thread.

I thought it was a Napalm Strike.

This thread has a sight of attraction. 8D
Good to hear I have a few viewers who are really looking at my pictures. I appreciate it. X)

I thought it was a Napalm Strike.
Could have been, too. BUT IT'S NAWT! =O

If you're gonna not take requests, you'd might as well not take mine.
Not yet, not yet. But we'll see...

That comic strip takes me longer that I planned working on it. Haven't finished the outlines yet. Flat coloring is no problem then, but the shadows and other details and so on will keep me on it. It'll still take some time. And I haven't started to draw my Sigworm yet. D=

My god, I'm so glad I finally (half-)finished it.

http://npshare.de/files/37/9546/Worms%20Comicstrip.png
Few details are still missing...

I could be arsed with the coloring now, so I dropped it. I'll submit the final version on deviantART then. =O

Enjoy~

Wait... does worm#1 have any personal vendetta against worm#2, who appears to be drooling, and then licking his lips?

They're worms, they kill each other, they don't need a backstory. :p

It's very nice except for the sheep, it looks like a doll. A creepy doll.

Hm. I may try to fix that, but I can't think of a proper shape for the sheep right now. (I didn't follow a scheme for it, just had the idea up my sleeves.) Anyway, thanks for commenting. X)

That's good, I like it and I prefer in black & white, even that still didn't saw with colors...
I think the ship is OK. It doesn't look like a sheep, but in the game they don't look either

It's nice. I like the way you went for the "minimal speech" option there.

It could be a little bit clearer, though. I'd be tempted to add a panel at the beginning focused on the "target worm" with the "attacking worm" visible in the background by that platform - same angle as the final panel, but without the fire, obviously. It would set the scene a little more, before going onto shots focusing on the "attacking worm".
