Yeah, long time no see, I haven't been drawing really much lately, only trying to get a new style, because I'm starting to hate the older one. I will be taking requests, of course, since I haven't been drawing your sigworms for a damn long time.

So, time for pics. Here are a few old drawings I made a few months ago, never posted them here because it wasn't worth a thread, and I didn't want to bump the old one and its ugly drawings I don't want to look at.

Yes, I got a Wii, and I was running out of ideas. :p

As you can see, those are pretty much different from my older drawings. I've noticed that drawing small mouths made drawing worms facing you much easier. That's a pretty good thing because I had a seriously hard time drawing them with the older style.


And some fresh Flash drawing I've just finished a few minutes ago.

A remake of my old Worms Fortress 2 drawing. Looks less serious and more cartoonish in my opinion, though some people noticed that it also looks less badass than the older one.

Yay, your drawing worms again.

I like your new style too.

I request (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=633195&postcount=1460)

Also, I like the style of the worm in your avatar too.

Nice stuff. Worms Fortress 2 looks awesome.

I like the style - very nice.

As do I; because nobody here has drawn my new sigworm yet!

I like the picture of my sigworm, and I like the Super_frea picture too (even though he isn't as handsome as me :p) but yeah, very nice stuff. I'm really liking it.

Its much better than your old style.

those requests are made of win.

as is the TF2 pic.

you are awesome :cool:

WF2! Sweet!

But what the hell is up with the Medic? He doesn't look sinister at all...

Damn, I loved this and the requests
Very nicely done and good use of colours. And the new mouths and eyes on this style, makes them look soooo cute! *cough* sorry....

And I request, if you feel like drawing the pyramid helmet...

I Request :cool:

Oh man! This style is fantastic! Feel free to draw me!

Draw me too :)

What. :cool:

Awesome! :D

I like the Super_frea picture too (even though he isn't as handsome as me :p)
PAH! You dunno what you're on about mate. :p

Very nice.

I hereby request on the grounds that I am completely and totally awesome.

very good, you should work out the fire punch sketch, it has, well, seductive charm ;)

Are they supposed to look, you know, cute? :p

No arts for you today, sorry. :( I have been pretty much busy today, but I'll try drawing your request tomorrow. Just posting here so you know I'm still there. :p

And yeah, they are supposed to look cute, that's one side of worms most people don't really pay attention at. :p

My thought exactly
I tried to incorporate a young look into some of my drawings and failed
... but this is excellent

Worms aren't really young, they're just bumbling and slapstick. No one wants to see worms act like babies.

As an exception, though, no one wants to see worms in a grimdark Grindhouse-esque scenario either.

Don't ask me why, but that post made me draw this:

32183
I thought you had the payment ready...

Sweet, film noir is my favorite genre of movies. That's pretty cool, even for a doodle.

Kilburn, would you mind if I used that picture you drew of my sigworm as an avatar?

No problem with that. :p
Also, I just can't get coding with drawing together. :mad: Bah, I will stop coding tomorrow and start drawing your requests. I think I've just got a good idea for Tal05's request. :p

Stop coding?! Blasphemy. The longest I can stand not coding is about a week, and I begin to see functions in my everyday routine. Damn Tetris effect. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris effect)

I hereby appoint myself to the request list under trial by jury and total strangers thinking I'm cool.

Hell, naw, even when I stop coding, I'm always on something else. :eek:
Bah, since it's art, I'll post it here anyway. I'm currently working on a total conversion for Worms 4 Mayhem, based on my latest weapon tweaks, and I have almost done the whole HUD reskin.

Here is what it looks like so far.

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2769/skin2sf5.png

Ignore the borders of the weapon panel, they suck and I'll be redoing them anyway.

wow. that is REALLY hard to see the differences. without color those are just too tiny.

Ah, but I like that style. :( Anyway, it's not that tiny in game, and once you have used a weapon, it's much easier to find it again.

Also, POW HAHA!

I find it ironic that he is wearing a military helmet that is very similar to the Soldier's.

who is "the Soldier"?
A Team Fortress 2 character, who has a classic WW2 helmet that's big enough to cover his eyes.

That taunt is from the heavy, though :p

Haven't been drawing things like that for, like, more than a year. I don't know, I randomly felt artistic.
Anything I should improve? I would gladly take any tip concerning shading and perspective, I've always had issues with those.


Also, bonus.

http://kilburn.ftp.free.fr/bball_lol.png

OMG yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

That is so awesome. I <3 both of those.

Can you give me a higher res version of the Worms Unlimited poster, or possibly, the .fla file? I'd like to edit it to fit my iPod's screen perfectly.

The worms unlimited one has some odd looking worms, but the second one is good.

not bad. the cheeks make them look a bit chipmunk-ish, and the colors make me want to cry, but aside from that it's good :p

The second one is great!
But the first one... not so much. Really because the perspectives and shading on a lot of the things are so very very wrong.

To name a few:
The cannon looks very wrong, and when you notice the turret base is hexagonal it makes no sense whatsoever.
The bazooka doesn't look like a bazooka. Unless it's a flamethrower, but that's even worse.
The worm's mouth is... I don't even know what you were trying to do.
The helmet's perspective doesn't match up with the worm's head. Which already looks jaring because of the apparent sharp edges of his head. For some reason.
The shading on the worm, tracks, dynamite, grass, and top of the tank are just completely wrong, and a few others too. At times it feels like you were just adding shading purely for the sake of having detail, rather than actually having shading where there should be.

And to top it off, the right crate. It's a cube. How can you screw up drawing a cube so much?


I guess it's a lot of criticism for a picture that really isn't a good example of your regular art, but... still. Take it with a grain of salt.

The bazooka doesn't look like a bazooka. Unless it's a flamethrower, but that's even worse.

It's a sheep launcher.

And while I agree with your criticism, I can safely say that I didn't notice any of those things until you mentioned them. :P

and let me share a little color lesson I've learned: pitch black punches holes straight through your drawing. that first picture has holes a mack truck could drive through comfortably. please never do that again. black is just another color. if all your other colors are muted, please don't leave black at its purest intensity. it just looks bad.

I understand the other criticism but what's wrong with colouring the hole completely black? If the explosion in the background is the only light source, though I can't say this for certain because - well, the lighting is a little odd :p, there wouldn't be any light reaching the cave.

Oh btw, I think you interpreted it to be something like a pothole, but actually it shows two worms being underground.

They're Darksiders, get it, get it? :V

I like the worms lögó

Oh btw, I think you interpreted it to be something like a pothole, but actually it shows two worms being underground.doesn't matter WHAT it is. black is a very intense color. look at the rest of his image. are there any other intense colors? no. they're all muted. the blue looks intense because it's placed over the orange of the background, but everything there is pretty muted.

black takes over a picture once it's added. pure black can completely destroy an otherwise good drawing, and that's basically what's happening here. my eye is drawn straight into the barrel of that bazooka every time I look at that picture, because the black punches a hole straight through. a good composition doesn't draw the eye to any one single point. it let's the eye travel throughout all the details. and he really does have a good composition, with the exception that the pure black doesn't fit in whatsoever.

Err... Aku, you make a very good point, but for future reference you might wanna tone down on the artistic jargon next time.

sorry. it means the way you lay out a drawing. where stuff is. like where the text is compare to where the worms are, etc.

I've been subjected to too many long-winded critiques lately...... :confused:

That's really cool, thanks for the constructive criticism, now that you mentioned it, I can't even miss it anymore, the black does stand out a lot. Shouldn't have used 0,0,0. :p
I'll try to replace it by something a little more subtle then.

Yeah, I think I see what you mean, I tried drawing it from a pseudo-down-top perspective which I'm really not used to, I guess it ended up making everything look wrong, although to be honest, I don't really notice it unless I try to.
As for the shading, it does get tedious after a while so I have to admit that I rushed some parts. Although I think most of it is alright, most of the light comes from behind so it seems logical to me that the scene would look like that.

And the crate looks alright to me, can't see what's wrong with it. Some other people pointed out that the main worm's mouth looks wrong, but I can't figure out what exactly. Care to make a little paintover or something like that?

I'm thinking more along the lines of "punches holes straight through your drawing". That... that's definitely not part of the modern vernacular.

The worm's mouth is completely wrong because you do have to actually have the corners of the mouth showing on a front view model. Maybe there are exceptions and I can't think of any, but that mouth would very much only work on a side view.

I don't have time for a Paint correction of what the crate should look like though, sorry.

Heh, it gets the point across.

it's just a description my painting teacher uses to warn us away from using pure black irresponsibly. I think it gets the point across well enough, and apparently kilburn got the idea.

I can't see any picture

Mmh, uppix seems to be having issues, it's down all the time. Rehosted the pictures on my personal domain, it's slower but I guess it's better than nothing.

Maybe you should use Imageshack or Photobucket.

so Kilburn, did you ever finish that HUD?

I always loved your art because it is quite nice, yez.

Here is a thumbs up for your arts.
