Great entries so far, both Error and Kelster. I've been working on an entry for some time now, I thought of a decent concept that would require loads of shading and detail and stuff. And hell, if I get at least one vote I can die happily. :p It's all about having fun anyway.

I think what everybody is trying to say is that only pictures that were released after the first day of the month can be aknowledged as entries.

It doesn't really matter if it took you 8 months or 2 hours to draw it...if it got done and released within this month, it's fair and legal...

That's what i understand by "New artwork"... :rolleyes:

But seriously, man, we didn't reach 1/3 of the month yet, so you can't say that. I'd say many pictures can win mine, even if they're not well or carefully drawn.

Plenty of things can happen in 3 weeks, so let's sit and watch. I'm not here to win, i'm here to participate... :)

And how is the tongue messed? You mean its overlapping the mouth?

21 Jun 2006, 03:15
I'm with Aku and PB here... the tongue really does seem to be stinking out of the bottom lip instead of the mouth. I think you should bring it up a bit.

Also, i just noticed both Kurt's and Jimmi's left hands (on our right) don't quite look like they're holding the guitar arms...they have a very similar problem as we can see on the tongue. They seem to be stiking out of the guitar arm instead of comming under and around it. :)

Okay, I've gotten the solid coloring down mostly.
Now I just have to do the remaining shading + lighting in 3 days.
And here's a measly little teaser, because I am a bast[Pirate phrase]d.

Ah ha, but you only have until the 29th to finish for this month, ha ha. You must race in this race!

...Hope it ROCKS.

I would suggest it's a worm based off the creatures from Alien.

And, oh, yes, as a reminder: Competition closes tomorrow!

With the number of entries, we'll probably have to do two "heat" polls, with the best five from each going through to a final.

Trouble with that is, I won't be around to organise all of that because of my holiday. I might be able to find an Internet Cafe, I suppose, but would anyone like to take over the poll running in that contingency?

I'm going to want another whole day to work on mine, at least, and I'm not sure how all the time zone stuff works.

No I'm not :p

I'll try and lock this thread as late as possible - like 10pm UK-time (currently, GMT+1), but if I forget it will probably just be left open, so PM AndrewTaylor, as I'm off on holiday early Friday morning (hence going to bed early on Thursday :D) and won't be checking the forum before I go.

though I'm sure it won't beat anyone, as is the fate of every one of my art submissions to these forums, I'm rather proud of this one, as there was NO copy/pasting work from my previously made art. my only problem is it seems to me to be missing something, but I can't place what it is.

anyway, enjoy:

You're mixing a realistic approach (such as the hairs) with a cartoon approach, and that rarely looks good.

I can say that confidently because it's the EXACT same technique used for both.

Pigbuster
28 Jun 2006, 16:00
I think he means that you're mixing stuff like the hair, effects, grass, textures with cartoons.
Personally, I think it looks fine, as the only cartoony thing is the worms. Everything else has a texture.
I think the grass should've been covering up the wall, though.

Actually, just the hair and effects stuff. Textures can still retain a cartoon feeling to it.
But hey, I'm just stating my opinion.

The only problem I had with it was the rather poor attempt at 3D on the back wall. Things just don't look like that in real life.

not sure what you mean on this one...
Well, I mean that the front face is drawn as if it's dead-on to the 'camera' -- but if it was you wouldn't see the top or right faces. It's a very strange projection that doesn't occur in real life. If you draw the front face that way, don't try and draw the sides. If you want to draw the sides, you have to change the angle of the front face.

Look at your monitor. How many sides can you see? I'm guessing two at most. Those are the sides you should draw. If you move your head (or monitor) until you can see three sides of it, note what shape the front face has become. It's not a square any more, and you shouldn't draw it as one.

It's hard to explain without a pen and paper.

And no offense, aku, i admire your effort to produce art without copying and pasting (if one could call copying/pasting art) but it just feel like you have a mold to draw those worms... I mean... they're all in the same position always.

I really think you should get a looser approach on your drawings, trying to make them more fluid. I mean... look at some HK, Slick, Splapp or Jjar pics (yea, i didn't mention a lot of people, go whine somewhere else, please) and you'll see what i'm talking about...

Again, i'm not saying this to put you down, i'm just trying to give you a tip that could make you get better at it... if you care to try it, that is... :p

I'm away at a family friend's house right now. My picture is done, and I'll post it when I get home, so don't end this thing on me.
It's kinda good that I'm over here, though. My avatar looks very dark, so I'll provide a lighter version.

Instead of being totally vertical, the jumping worm could be a little more dynamic.
Making the tail lean toward where they jumped from, for one thing.

It's all about making static images dynamic.

I'll sketch something for ya as soon as i have the time, k?

It really helps to see other people's perspective on a drawing idea we had... i can say that due to personal experience, so i try to pull something out, scan and show ya... :)

Just be a bit patience cause college is killing me right now... :(

Okay, for administration purposes, I'm going to start totting up the entries. Feel free to keep posting stuff up to when thomas closes the thread, this is just so's I can get my thoughts in order in advance. Also feel free to point out any I've missed, or any errors (such as an updated entry) :)
