I knew the title would lure you in. :D
These works of art beg to be seen, so i decided to post them.
Made them as "concept art" for a game i am fiddling with, which i posted a thread for here.

I thought I had seen these before, they're in your signiture on the GMC.

They're very good. My only comments would be that "blob hands" are a big no and they could do with mouths showing when they're closed to help express emotion, but that one isn't important.

Otherwise, great stuff. Keep it up.

I like these images, especially the effect on where the worms fly in the explosion and the way you shade the worms.

With which program do you draw the images?

Also I think you must improve the colors of worms, worms are peach, not pink.

I saw these in your game, they're pretty cool. ;)

Don't worms have, say... mouths?

Not these ones. XD

I use Photoshop CS2.
Peach? Hmmm, show me peach. Like a paler pink?

Nice style, it's a break from the official one... anyways, have a look on the spot where the tail meets the body... it seems a bit odd...

worms are peach, not pink.

That's not really a rule.
I think these look great as pink, like they're made of gum or something. It gives a different mood than if they had a skin tone.

It's not like every single fan-art style has to look exactly like the official Team17 art, guys.

if he wants to draw pink worms let him draw them

Yeah, as long as it's not an oversaturated plain pink it's fine.
I also like the blob hands. In this case they work better than regular hands.

"blob hands" are a big noErr... Why? :-/ I think they look fine. It's all very charmingly retro.

Not these ones. XD

Why do I keep hearing this? Do people realize worm's existed before the 3D series?

I wonder why no-one ever does fan art in the style of the W2/WA box cover worms.

Why do I keep hearing this? Do people realize [worms] existed before the 3D series?

In today's lesson, we learn about the present tense.

Prior to Worms3D, there were several different styles of worm in regular use -- the boxart looked different to the CGI looked different to the in-game sprites looked different to the website looked different to... Well, you get the idea. When Worms3D was designed Team17 finally standardised the whole thing and came up with an official Worm, so these days we all take the "Boggy B" model used in Worms3D as the standard, because it's the only standard we have.

Generally, worms are drawn the same colour as humans, which is to say nearer peach than 'barbie pink'. But if you're drawing worms like Mordi's, I don't think you're obliged to stick to Team17's colour conventions...

I'm more confused by the schizophrenic shading -- is it cel-shaded, is it smooth-shaded? Who can say?

Err... Why? :-/ I think they look fine. It's all very charmingly retro.

These "blob hands" at least show some spatial awareness. They look like pictures of 3D blobs rather than the Ellipse Tool Hands that are the real problem.

Edit: The stripes across the bazooka, however, show no spatial awareness at all. They need fixing.

And honestly? I think the eyes could show expression without a visible mouth, if they chose to.

In today's lesson, we learn about context. This forum is called Fan Art forum, a subforum of the Team17 Forum. Team17 are behind the Worms series, all of them, therefore it's only logical you can base your art in whatever game you want. If Team17 made Worms 5 and started coloring their worms green people wouldn't stop painting worms pink and peach, and people wouldn't come here to say "Worms are green and not pink, peach".

I just keep hearing the comment over and over again.

O..kay...
But the worms still weren't pink in any of the games, so I don't know what the heck you're talking about!

I'm talking about the covers, which is official art. You're saying the official art is wrong? Use a bit of imagination and stop wasting my time please.

and stop wasting my time please.

I tried cel-shading, and added some smooth-shading to cover up my lack of skill of picturing how the cel-shading looks. :p
The stripes i agree with. I wonder why i didnt notice that...

The old stuff is, yes. Well, it's just out-dated, really, but that's almost the same.

In objective terms, art can't be wrong, but it's non-standard.

I get the point, I wouldn't have said a word if it wasn't the 10th time I've seen someone try to lecture people how to color their worms. I can see why someone would rather paint them peach, however saying that they shouldn't paint them pink is out of place. Art should by no means be standard.

Let me get this straight, you're complaining about me complaining about someone elses complaint?

He wasn't complaining tho. He was giving you a friendly suggestion.

Well, that depends, if he claims I'm complaining for telling Plasma to use his imagination then his post can also be considered a complaint. Anyone else wanna join in this pointless debate?

Actually it's because you posted "stop wasting my time".
Which is a complaint.

Don't worms have, say... mouths?

yes these have se (http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/7457/explosionbackgroundpngfe1.png),anyway they are awesome

It's a quite particular drawing style, but I like it.
The bazooka in the third picture has a rather odd shape and position though.

Its the nearest worm, the middle one, that is holding it, but it may look like the guy in the back is holding it...

solution: make a neck-strap for the bazooka, so that it appears that the bazooka has a string tied around the worm. taadaah.

Hah. I just received a forwarded e-mail from my father about some 3d/art/game-making courses being taught in a local university. Seems like they nicked your art for one of their posters:

:p

What the hell? Seriously. Artsteal?

Perhaps they thought it was so hilariously generic nobody would ever realise.

Mordi did say it was concept art for a game, and it is a game making poster, so there's a clear innocent explanation. I hope it's stolen, though, that'd be far more fun.

... Lol. They can be sued - right?

Hmm... Game Maker? Didn't Mordi joined their forums right? Yauhui?

Hmm... Game Maker? Didn't Mordi joined their forums right? Yauhui?

That's what I am using to make it.

It's a bit odd to just use my image... Didn't they realize that I made the concept for a GM game, and that I might have some spanish GM friends? (Okay, maybe not :p)

What do you think? Should I send a formal but devilishly sly e-mail asking why they decided to use my art without crediting or notifying me? :p

I don't know, if I were you, I'd be ****ed off as hell right now.

I'm guessing they were looking for art based on a game made with GameMaker for the poster, since it's for a course that teaches how to use GameMaker, and they probably found your game and decided to use your concept art.
If I were you I would contact them and ask why I was not notified that my art was going to be used. Just for the lulz tho, because I wouldn't really care anyway. :p

I'd say you shouldn't, but just because it'd mean that they'd remove the artwork from the leaflet altogether instead of giving you compensation or anything like that.

On another note, when your fanart here isn't recognised as Team17 fanart, it's probably a good idea to go back over those "how to draw worms" tutorials again.

It might be worth at some stage pointing out that since the art in question is a derivative work of Team17's IP, this could be interpreted as copyright theft and/or an implied endorsement of this course by Team17, which could land them in legal problems. Not a smart move all round.

Wow! So mordi AND team17 can sue them at once!

They could, if it was art based on Team17's Worms series. It's not, it's art based on Mordi's Worms game, which was repeatedly said to not be based off of Team17's Worms.
