MutantCircus Art Thread

[MutantCircus]

I'd posted a thread called "when i'm bored..." that featured a couple of my sketches I drew while at work, but since I'm going to post regularly (and because that title sucks) I'm going to start anew. This is what I do while I'm working my mindless desk job. My right hand works a telephone while my left hand doodles pics of various things. Usually I draw Marvel characters, and most of the time it's Spidey (or venom) so here goes. Feel free to post colorings or any other manips you may try.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venomdoodle4.jpg

And here's a new (and so far unfinished) pic of Spider-Man himself:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/spideydoodle2.jpg

I plan on finishing the background and possibly coloring it in. Depends on how much I like it when it's finished.

And remember, criticizing is fine, but be kind, I'm a beginner.

[Ancile]

How old are you?

Good job with using a vanishing point in the last pic.:up:

[Démon]

Pretty good for a beginner. Just keep practicing, and you improve pretty fast.

And thanks, I'd attempted buildings without a vanishing point, but it never looked right.

[MutantCircus]

here's what i got done today:

[The Kryptonian]

Pretty good duder. I love the Venom pic. His head is perfect. Good work. :up:

[MutantCircus]

thanks. i bought the 18" spidey action figure to help me out on drawing spidey (i hard a hard time thinking of spider-like poses and i usually screw up on the suit's webbing, like in the above pic). so hopefully that'll help me.

[MutantCircus]

more progress (still not finished):

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/spideydoodle3c_t.jpg

and a new pic i've started:

Anatamoy Resarch. working on that. since this is my spare-time while working work, i don't have anything to compare, and i'm just working off memory of comic books and such. trust me, i've already changed a lot from what is posted, so it's going to look a lot better once it's inked.

[MutantCircus]

today's update:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venomvsspidey1b_t.jpg

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

i think thats good:up: :up:

[MutantCircus]

almost done:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venomvsspidey1c_t.jpg

all i need to do is finish coloring it and make venom a little darker.

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

those are great keep them coming:)

[MutantCircus]

will do. i went to see Spider-Man 2 on IMAX today so I haven't gotten much done, but I'll have some progress by Monday.

[MutantCircus]

I'm still working on the Venom pic, not enough progress to post, but rather than finishing Spidey's swinging picture, I decided to restart it, with a better pose and a better location for the vanishing point. It was a busy day at work, so I hardly got anything done, but here's the new Spidey:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/spideydoodle4a.jpg

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

nice pose

[Thundahjack]

man, those are good!

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

do another venom one plz

[MutantCircus]

Originally posted by #7CaRnAgE#7
do another venom one plz i plan to, soon. i also plan on doing one of hobgoblin vs. spidey, so keep on checking here. i couldn't get much work done today because my supervisor's boss (who is really strict about how we spend our work time) was around all day. i made a couple idle sketches but nothing worthy of posting. i'll get more work done tomorrow, and i've finally finished the coloring on that venom vs. spidey pic, so i'll probabyl post the finished product later tonight.

btw, if anyone with photoshop skills would like to try coloring one of these, feel free. all i have to color is colored pencils.

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

cool looking forward to them

[MutantCircus]

as promised:

best coloring job i can do with colored pencils...

[Frantik]

You initially said you do this left handed. You are ambidextrous I take it. That is very cool to be able to do stuff and be creative with both hands. Are these later pics with Venom and Spidey with your left hand also? Anyway nice work.

Are these later pics with Venom and Spidey with your left hand also? Anyway nice work. i am indeed ambidextrous, i do all pencil workwith my left hand. my right hand prefers to do things that involve more strength than skill, like sports and such. what was the clue that helped you figure this out?

[MutantCircus]

anyway, more progress:

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

nice

[MutantCircus]

still adding to the city:

[MutantCircus]

as per your request, carnage, i drew another venom pic, but it needs a little more work before i'm ready to post it.

in the meantime, here's a poster i made in photoshop:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/venomposter2copy.jpg

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

thats nice i love the venom pic......nice work w/ the city also

[Covenant Elite]

Venom looks like it came form the movie! Excellent work.

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

are you done w/ any of them??????

[MutantCircus]

Originally posted by #7CaRnAgE#7

[MutantCircus]

here it is so far, just pencil. i may change the pose slightly.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venomvsspidey2a_t.jpg

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

cool k lookin forward to seeing it complete

[MutantCircus]

i'm not sure if i'm going to finish that drawing. while it's clear venom's out for BRAINSSSSSS if you know the character, to non-spidey fans it brings to mind romance novels or something like that. anyway, i tried a new spin on it:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venomvsspidey3a_t.jpg

btw, it's not even close to finished. that's why venom is only partly colored in, and certain things are still unperfected.

[Venom_uk]

Hey MutantCircus, you should post them Venom pics in my Venom thread over in Spidey World once you've finished them dude. :up:
Good stuff.

Actually, I am a Spidey fan and that's the impression I got anyway...

[MutantCircus]

IN case those of you looking at these pics haven't noticed, I've been working on improving Venom. I want to stick with the classic look while still giving it my own spin, much like I did with my version of the Spider-Man outfit. Sort of a halfway cross between Romita Sr. and the movie costume. My Venom is a sort of cross between Bagley and... I'm not sure what else. Anyway, I threw out the rounded jaw I've been using (see pic in previous post) and gave him the much more manacing angular jar. Hope you like.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venomvsspidey3b_t.jpg

[MutantCircus]

so here he is, the new Venom:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/venoma.jpg

[MutantCircus]

also, as an evil bonus, here's some crappy drawings i did, first attempts at hobgoblin and rhino.

[MutantCircus]

i apologize in advance for the crappy corner spidey. however, the pic is actuially slightly larger than the actual drawing.

Good background with the building and such, but no offense, spidey looks like what i would look like in a spiderman suit.... scrawny and weak, add muscles dog

I'll try to get him slightly more beefed up next time, though.

[PrimeObjective]

if you want any help or just to talk my MSN is iverson50@hotmail.com. i dont have a scanner but ill get one soon

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

these are good i really like your art work...idk why cuz there are alot of really good guys out there probably cuz they remind me of mine :p

[Tobey'schick]

MutantCircus I really like your drawings! I wish I could draw, but as of right now I cannot, but I'm taking a class! (my favorite pic you drew is the one of spidey swinging in the city, you know, the one where it was different and then you said you were going to change the pose) I especially like how you dont get biotchy or anything when people say things about your work. You just take note and keep drawing! Thats so cool!

I'm sorry but youre 19 years old and you draw like a 12 year old , i mean the figures are not right and not anatomical right , practice some more before you post here more pics .

Thanks for your opinion, but I'm not going to get better if I don't get feedback, so I'm going to keep posting my work even though it's not great yet.

[PrimeObjective]

spideyman speaks the truth but next time try to be alittle nicer dog

[MutantCircus]

okay, i think everyone is thinking i'm actually attempting great works of art with these things. let me illustrate the normal process involved when i draw these.

1. i sit at my desk bored and grab my pencil, think of a cool spidey pose and go at it.

2. my phone rings. i drop my pencil, pick up a pen and write down anything i need to write down. if i have time, i add to the picture while on the phone.

3. i fill out paperwork. when finished, i pick up my pencil again and pick up from where i left off.

4. go back to step 2.

this goes on all day, so when i'm drawing i'm never giving it my all. anyway, i decided to do a drawing today with an existing pose and with copies of my favorite representations of spidey as reference, to show everyone what it's like when i actually concentrate on my work. here is the result:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/spideydoodle5a_t.jpg


by the way, for anyone wondering, it took me exactly 10 minutes to draw that, while all other pics in this thread were drawn over a period of at least an hour each.

[Jack Rabbit]

Getting better...

That looks like a McFarlane pose...no?:confused:

[Tobey'schick]

It only took you 10 minutes?! Holy cow!! ^.^ I really like that one!

[Silver S]

What do you use to start your drawing? Do you start with graphite from the get go?

The only reason I ask is because I tend to use a blue pencil first to rough out the drawing and then go with graphite when I know what I want out of the sketch. Helps to keep the loose quality of the sketch sometimes. Have you done lots of little scribbly drawings of Spider-Man in action poses? They help too.

Egad, I should really get back to drawing something more realistic than these cartoons. :eek:

Keep it up. :)

Keep it up. :) actually, yeah. just lead, a peice of paper, and a bunch of spidey pics to stare at so i know what i'm doing. i think i've been doing with my regular lead pencil what you've been doing with your blue one, i add ink later to keep the lines i like, and erase all the pencil lines. and yeah, i sort of cinsider the rest of pics in my thread my "practice" pics of spidey in action.

so this blue pencil method helps? i oughta try it. i've never been to an art store (never took my drawings too seriously) but i may try it if it will add quality. thank you! it's good to hear kind words from my favorite artist on these boards. :)

[MutantCircus]

New pic. This one was back to my own routine, drawn at work, but I've been doing some practice in my own time, so I think it's helping me improve. Yes, this is drawn from scratch. I did not have any comics as reference when I drew this.

good leg muscles but the arms dont look good it looks like 3 different sections when it should be one with 3 parts.

[MutantCircus]

Originally posted by PrimeObjective

[PrimeObjective]

no.
Look at the elbow section. Compare to a real one

[MutantCircus]

:rolleyes:

This is not a photo. This is a comic-stlyed drawing in the style of the 80's Spider-Man comics. This is how he looks when his arm is completely straight in those drawings, this is how he's supposed to look in my drawing. Your opinion is noted.

[Nicklogic]

Hey buddy, i just wanted to say as I looked through this thread, you've made alot of progress with perspective and detail. Keep it up ok? When I start a drawing, cause I make alot of mistakes or something may look wrong, I use a blue leaded pencil, then go over it with pencil or ink. Maybe that'll give you more room to experiment. :) good stuff.

and thanks for the kind words. :) i appreciate it.

[Arcade]

Not Bad, Not Bad At All Keep It Up

[MutantCircus]

didn't make anything interesting today. drew spidey in a normal standing position from both fron and back view to show off my version of the suit. i've made my own version of the front spider, the crab spider (a.k.a. comics back spider) and spidey's eyes.

[Covenant Elite]

Crap Spider? LOL!

Do you think you could try drawing different heros? Just a suggestion, to help with your art.

And here's the rough (and crappy) sketch I drew, simply to clearly show the way I designed my own version of the spidey costume:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/spideycostume1acopy.jpg

[Tobey'schick]

^.^ I love your drawings so much! I started my drawing class in school this week, and today we drew cities. I was so excited, cuz mine was actually pretty good. Since i cant draw people yet, I may have my friend Roger draw a pic of Spider-Man in it when i get it back. I'll post it if I get a chance ^.^ (though i dont have a scanner, so it'll just be a picture of the picture, and may not make it of the highest quality)

[MutantCircus]

Awesome. I'll look forward to seeing it.

And to those of you suggested blue pencils, what the heck are they? I was going to buy one, but I couldn't find one anywhere. Do you mean a blue "colored pencil" A.K.A. a crayon incased in wood? I would hope for something I can erase. If you can give me a description I'd appreciate it. :)

[imdaly]

I've seen friends draw pictures, where they start out just drawing very very lightly with a light blue colored pencil. then when they know they have the lines exactly how they want them, they go over those lines with a black colored pencil. You can't see the blue under it that way. Also, any unwanted lightl blue lines can either be erased or just colored over later. Not sure if that's how the other posters were talking about, but I know it works well.

Btw, I'm loving this thread. I'm very glad you started posting pictures before you are "picture perfect" or anything. It really lets us see the real progression you are going through, and you are DEFINITELY progressing!

Also, I would like to say that that poster you did for Spider-Man 3 is AWESOME!!! How the hell did you get Venom to look so good?!?! AWESOME job, man!

I look forward to your future pictures :D

I look forward to your future pictures :D Thanks, I'll try that until I find out about those other methods. And I did a LOT with that Venom picture before it got to looking so real. A lot of messing with the lighting and adding blurs in certain paces.

Also, here's a new drawing I made at work. Original pose, no comics for reference:

i like the #3 spider the final one as a huge butt lol :p

[MutantCircus]

I did that as a nod to the crab spider, which was basically a circle with legs. I decided to give the spider a circular shape, while going mostly with the #3 spider, an alteration of the movie's back spider.

[MutantCircus]

Okay, I finally feel I've got Spidey down really well, (mind you, I'll always be improving him, but I've pretty much accomplished the look I'm going for) so I've begun to design another character. For now, I'll just let you know it's a Spider-man villain, and it's not Venom or any of the other villains in this thread. I'll post a pic of a small sneak peek later today, but I have yet to finish designing this character's overall look.

[MutantCircus]

Just a quick sketch, but here's the sneak peek I promised:

Drew my first complete pic of Ock today, partly with comics for reference and partly without. I'm not sure if he's ready for posting yet, though.

Part of the suspense. I'm considering making a series of pictures, made to look like a page out of a comic book. Just a fight between Spidey and Ock, or something like that. I'll probably try that after I finish getting Ock's look down.

Hey, why don't you do a series of pictures designed to look as though they're from a comicbook...and put them together into a comicbook!

Not nearly ready for such a big venture, but maybe eventually, when my skills have grown.

[MutantCircus]

Assembled from several versions of his comic book self, as well as some movie influence, I present Doc Ock:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nice!
I like the fact that you've kept the heavy weight supporting arms from the movie.

Now lets see him battle Spidey!

[MutantCircus]

Nice!

Now lets see him battle Spidey!
That's my next goal. Making some convincing fight poses for the both of them. Fortunately, I've got a bunch of Spidey vs. Ock comics for inspiration. This is the first pic I've drawn where I was fully satisfied with his design, though. The toughest part is the suit. I'm so used to drawing tight or baggy material on people that stiff material like a suit is made of is very difficult for me to draw. Well, now on to some action pics. I'm sure I'll have at least one within the next couple of days.

Don't be sorry. I said in my first post you can feel free to color any of my pics. I'd love to see what people can add to my pics. I suck at coloring.

Just a quick sketch, but a taste of what's to come:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/spideyvsdocock2a_t.jpg

[MutantCircus]

I drew a comic book-styled picture today (drawn during work, so don't expect it to look too great) and I'll probably post it sometime this afternoon. I'm going to need some full-size sheets of paper to draw a full page, though. Ah well, I'll get there eventually.

[MutantCircus]

'Kay, here it is. There was a lot more drawing in this one than most of my drawings require, I should have spent more than one day on this. Anyhoo, here's my first attempt at a comic book setup.

Lots of new views, no new posts. That may be a bad thing.

[Supergirl]

looks good man :)

[Tobey'schick]

You have really nice handwriting....I mean, your drawings kick butt, but I just noticed you have really nice handwriting. Your signatures on your drawings are really good, and your words in that comic thing are really good too. Most boys dont have too good of handwriting.

[Drakon]

I woulda posted a lot sooner, but I forgot I had to clear my subsciptions for the upgrade. You have gotten remarkably better with your stuff, indeed. Its really noticeable. My only real gripe [albeit a small one] is that your Doc Ock looks like Kingpin and Roy Orbison had a really ugly kid.

LOL. Well, I based him mostly off of Ock's look in the Return of the Sinister Six ASM story arc. I've noticed that in most other comics, though, he lost at least 20 lbs. I'll try and make him look a little more Ock-ish.

[PrimeObjective]

Ok i colored it and may I present:

This was drawn during a bust day at work(today), so I'm sorry it's so unfinished and hurried. Anyhoo, here's what I did today.

[TheTexican]

MutantCircus, I've been following this thread for a while, and like someone said earlier (not to be mean) but you did draw like a 9 year old, but over a short period you've gotten a hell of alot better. Keep practicing and you'll be able to pull out some nice spidey sketches. Key thing is Anatomy. I'd recommend taking an art class in your spare time like I did.

I'd love to take an art class, but right now I've got a minimum-wage job and very little free time. I've been teaching myself anatomy by observing my many Spider-Man comic books, and by doing some web research. It's not the best, but it's helping me improve, so it's all good. I really love drawing, and to hear people say I'm improving is a huge encouragement. Thanks. :)

[PrimeObjective]

in the last pic spideys head is too big but other than that good :up:

[MutantCircus]

Here's another design I've been working on for a while. I'm finally satisfied with the look. I present Shocker:

[PrimeObjective]

anatomy son.
look at his stomach its really thin his torso is in the shape of a v.

Another Spidey vs. Doc Ock pic, which actually took up the 75% of the workday that wasn't spent on shocker's costume:

And a new Spidey pic I drew in my free time today:

Some more work on Shocker's costume:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/shocker1a_t.jpg

[MutantCircus]

Had some free time today, so I used it to draw a Spidey vs. Shocker pic. Since this is the first time I've drawn Shock out of work, this is the way I've really been picturing him. Here ya go:

And on a totally unrelated side note, Saturday is my 20th birthday. :D

spidey looks nice there but shocker still looks ****ed up his torso looks odd.

[MutantCircus]

This really isn't a VS. picture, I just added Spidey in really quick for size reference:

Woohoo! 1,500 views! That's awesome. I'll have to work up something cool for 2,000.

[DJ BLASTER]

congrats, you have more replies and views then my thread.

[MutantCircus]

Busy day at work, so all I got done was an early sketh of my idea for the Lizard's look. His look is going to get a few more changes before I'm done, but I'm basically going for a good cross between MTV's take on him and the comics.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/lizarda_t.jpg

looks more like a hyena but keep drawing

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

wow havnt posted in a while but just want to give you some good luck on your drawing everything is going nicely

[MutantCircus]

Drew a new pic of him now that I'm out of work, and have some pics for referance. This time I was able to put a little more MTV influence into him, and I'm now quite happy with his look.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/lizard1a_t.jpg

[MutantCircus]

wow havnt posted in a while but just want to give you some good luck on your drawing everything is going nicely
Thanks, Carngage. I'm finding It easier to draw anatomically correct figures without any pics for referance. I guess it just needs to get nailed into my head with lots of practice, practice, practice.

BTW, everybody, no updates this weekend because I'm gonna be busy celebrating my entry into my third decade of life!

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

o ya! way better he looks way more evil the other lizard looked more cartoonish ....o have fun this weekend!

[MutantCircus]

Okay, this afternoon I tried my hand at Hobgoblin, but I'm not satisfied with his look yet, I'm going to keep working on him. Here's my concept sketch:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/hobgoblin1a_t.jpg

And since I won't be seeing you guys for the rest of the weekend, I made this for you all to comment on, so my thread won't be on page 5 when I get back:

[Jack Rabbit]

You said you're 19, right?:confused:

[MutantCircus]

Yup, soon to be 20.

[Tobey'schick]

Happy Birthday! ^.^

[MutantCircus]

Thanks everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I did indeed have an awesome birthday, and my Mom even gave me my favorite birthday gift in a long time, ASM #300! I was totally blown away. I've been looking for a copy of that thing forever. It must have cost a fortune. Anyway, I'm going to start working on my one-page fight between Spidey and Ock, and I'm also going to start working on a plot for a full fan comic of Spidey. I'm not sure which villains I should use though. I'd like to use more than one, with one villain being minor, but certain villains wouldn't work in the same book (like Lizard and Rhino). So anyway I'm just starting with those, so don't expect to see anything about either one for at least a week. In the meantime I'm just enjoying my weekend. Talk to you all later! :)

[MutantCircus]

Okay, I had some free time today, and so I started to make that one-page deal I've been talking about. Well, Spidey sort of took over and wrote it himself. So you may be dissapointed that there's no Doc Ock (this time) or any other supervillain. It's just something that flowed well with Peter's character. Right now it's only early pencils, so a lot will change before I ink it, but I thought I'd show you how it's going:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/fullpage1a_t.jpg

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

NICE i really like it cant wait for more

[MutantCircus]

Well, you'll see more, as I've found the comic book style helps make things go faster, as each picture simply tells a part of a story, rather than being a complete representation of the character. Anyway, to all reading this thread, who's your pick for my villain in my full-length independant Spider-Man comic? Your choices are Doc Ock, Lizard, Shocker, or Rhino. Please note that depending on the villain, a second one may appear. It depends on compatability. Lizard would most likely take the story all by himself, while Shocker or Rhino would probably end up sharing the stage with someone else. Dock Ock could go either way. Anyway, I need a villain before I can write the story, and I need the story before I can draw the comic. This is not the movie universe, or the Marvel universe. Call it the Mutant Circus alternate universe if you want, I'm making my own rules here.

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

i say.....THE LIZARD :)

Rocket racer

[TheTexican]

Shocker! Too much wasted potential on him. I mean he friggin built his shock-gloves, he's gotta be a mad genius!

I'd like to see u do better..... So, put your money where your mouth/art classes is/are and post some of your own self drawn spidey pics... otherwise stfu.... ever heard if you dont have anything nice to say, say nothing at all?? personally I like the progression of his artwork.... fine sketches here MC, keep up the good work..

[WeBhEaD75]

I'd like to see you draw one of my faves, and very under rated villian, Mysterio :)

[MutantCircus]

I'd like to see you draw one of my faves, and very under rated villian, Mysterio :)
I've been meaning to get to Mysterio. He's pretty cool, and I love the updated look he has in the Spider-Man 2 video game. I'll have to work on that design a little, whether or not I use him. And sorry, PO, I'll never, EVER do rocket racer. If you want to see him, watch episode 1 of the MTV Spider-Man show. They call him something different, but he's basically the same character.

And anyway, here's another villain I finally finished, Electro:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/electro1a_t.jpg

[MutantCircus]

Okay, I had a busy day at work, so I'm amazed I have anything to post at all. How ironic that I actually got 3 new villains designed. The anatomy is a bit off on the pictures, of course, because they're just quick sketches drawn without reference, and I was more focusing on costume and basic body type, rather than creating perfect works of art. Anyway, here's the 3 new villains:

Mysterio

Sandman

And Vulture
http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs4/i/2004/258/0/5/Vulture_by_MutantCircus.jpg

So you've now got more options for villain choices, too. Let me know what you think. Thanks. :)

[PrimeObjective]

I wasnt serious about rocket racer ahaha

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

is venom a choice?

[MutantCircus]

is venom a choice?
He might be soon. He's a bit tougher to draw since he's straight up spandex, and coloring him black makes him even trickier, so I've been reluctant to design him. Until I can get him down the choices are just my new designs.

[TheTexican]

It was constructive criticism. Calm down you idiot.

When I do get all my drawings together I do plan on scanning them and then I don't mind if you think my art is great or it sucks more than Paul Anderson's directing!



On Topic, MC your Mysterio design friggin rules ass. That's my vote now!

Second choice is your badass Electro.(BTW Keep the mask away, it's too cheesy. :) )

I am not an idiot... Because I totally understood it was meant to be constructive criticism, like you're supposed to be an expert or something..... However, your criticism was NOT constructive.... It was rather harsh.... "you draw like a 9 year old"... come on man, that was a bit much... don't ya think?


and YES MC, i love your mysterio drawing.... thanx for coming up with that by request basically..... i really like your sandman too... :)

If you "totally understood" it was constructive criticism, then you shouldn't have attacked me like you did.

and the 9 year old comment was made by many others yet you chose to single and curse me out. Ironically "a bit much" also, and in my opinion the comment was not harsh at all, I mean, I had that same comment about my art a few years ago and I agreed with it. Art lessons were a wonder, and although human anatomy is pretty boring compared to drawing Spider-man and whatnot, it has helped me a great deal.

[MutantCircus]

BTW, I also drew this at work, as a joke. Yeah, things were getting rough and I just needed to laugh.

...or why don't you post something?

Mutant is 20 years old, and it's really no secret that he's not a dazzling artist, or is at the level most of his age group are at. BUt he enjoys it, so what the hell. More power to him, I say. But if other people want to offer him crit, which is never bad, let them. Don't go off on someone because they aren't sucking ass like every other person inthe thread.

And don't don't even start to critize me for telling you WHAT I THINK. I have a gallery in this forum, so theres my 'putting my money where my mouth is', bucko.

[MutantCircus]

Okay, this thread needs a little less arguing, so let me just say I know my art isn't going to make anyone say "Wow!" I mean, I've only been drawing for two months and I've never taken a class in my life. Even my anatomy research has only come from the couple dozen Spider-Man comics I've read. I still don't know what the heck those blue pencils are and I draw on 4x6 pieces of paper, so it makes all errors and irreguarities even bigger than the actual drawings. I'll eventually do some actual anatomy research, find some of those blue pencils, and draw on larger peices of paper so that the lines will all look more smooth and professional, but for now I'm just doing it the way it comes easiest. I use a memo pad because I can fit it in my shirt pocket. I draw with a lead 0.5 mechanical pencil because I happen to own several. And I draw Spider-Man because that's that character that proved to me that comics are not all about punch-by-punch fight scenes, but actual stories. I do this because I love these characters and love to flesh them out the perfect way I'd like to picture them. I can't see myself doing this for a living unless I got a lot better at it in a short amount of time, so I'm not too insulted if someone tells me I draw like a nine-year-old. Heck, those nine-year-olds probably have a lot more practice at it, and probably aren't talking on the phone while they're drawing, either. Anyway, to introduce a more positive atmosphere, I present the other sketch I made at work today, the ultimate symbol of peace and love, the Punisher:

[MutantCircus]

Well, slow day at work, so I had time to draw a character with a lot of detail. Here come the Thing!

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs4/i/2004/261/3/9/The_Thing_by_MutantCircus.jpg

[PrimeObjective]

Legs need to be alot longer he looks unporportional(spelling?) but thats pretty good.

[MutantCircus]

The Thing is a character who is disporportionate. He's got a huge chest and arms, but the rest of his body is normal-sized.

[PrimeObjective]

http://www.toonopedia.com/thing.jpg
doesnt look that way..

[MutantCircus]

http://www.toonopedia.com/thing.jpg
doesnt look that way..
I only see a red x, but anyway the representations I'm most familiar with show him with the porportions I've drawn. I'm used to picturing the Thing like this, a lot more Hulk-like and with an ape-like body:

http://www.tangmonkey.com/columns/images/ufile_1023700898.jpg

I picture the Thing having huge arms to throw around those gigantic fists of his, and slightly short, stocky legs. I gave my own design of the rock plates, to look like the rock is almost like armor resting in a more mudlike, flexable substance. Anyway, this is my take on the Thing and as I said I drew him how I want him to look.

[MutantCircus]

Anyway, I spent some of my free time today drawing a new Sandman pic. I'm studying Erik Larson's method of drawing faces, because out of all the SM artists I like his style on faces the best. I've been focusing on Bagley's take on bodies from the waist up, but I hate how he gives characters funnels shaped legs and tiny ballerina feet, so I go with McFarlane's style for the lower half. The Sandman pic is based off a panel from The Return of the Sinister Six, but it's not an exact copy. I altered the pose and gave Sandman my own idea of his look.

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs4/i/2004/261/c/8/The_Sandman_by_MutantCircus.jpg

Yeah, that's one seriously ticked Sandman.

[Andrew]

That Sandman is amazing!!

[MutantCircus]

Thanks. I'm trying to catch on to what Bagley does that makes the faces he draws so darn expressive. He draws Peter Parker awesome, I can tell exactly what he's thinking before I even read the thought bubble. Drawing people who wear masks most of the time has deprived me of developing this crucial skill, so I'm working extra hard on that.

[TheTexican]

MC, love your Bagley-esque Sandman drawing! The first one looked too cartoony for my tastes so this one is more of my style!

ok ok.... i'll end this with my final thought..... i think i am just jealous, overall.... and i jumped into a conversation that was not mine.... one among two artists.... the jealousy comes in where the fact is, is that i cant draw for ****.... and wish i could.... lol.... my trouble is keeping different parts of the anatomy in proportion..... arms and legs to torso, and all of it in proportion to the head.... my heads either come out too small or too big... lol

Anatomy my friend. Most of these kickass artists have spent years learning and studying and whilst I am nowhere near their greatness, I'm patiently honing my skills.

Well, it's coming out alright, Luckily The pencils left on the Ock picture are making shading easier than it would have been on Sandman. But the tentacles are going to take me a while. Err, expect to see it up in a day or two.

And PO, I meant an actual coloring in line with the comics look I'm going after. The suit's white.

*Right clicks and saves* Awesome :eek:

White armani,big Ock grin,clenched fist,standing on 2 tentacles...its brilliant :D

You the man Chris *squints at last name-cannot make it out :() Chris you the man Chris :D

[MutantCircus]

LOL. Jeffery. Chris Jeffery. Thanks.

Weird fact: My birth name was the alliterative Chris Clark (got it changed), Chris after Chris Reeve, and I used to like to liken Clark to Clark Kent. Yeah, I'm a second-generation comic book fan. My mom's a DC woman, while I'm a Marvel guy. It's a friendly rivalry.

LOL! Thats great your mom like comics :D

My mom knows about Doc Ock.....she have to be blind and deaf not to as I'm always watching him on TV or wittering on about him :hyper:

[MutantCircus]

LOL. That's how my mom used to get her Spidey info, until I got her hooked on Spidey comics.

[WeBhEaD75]

MC, love your Bagley-esque Sandman drawing! The first one looked too cartoony for my tastes so this one is more of my style!



Anatomy my friend. Most of these kickass artists have spent years learning and studying and whilst I am nowhere near their greatness, I'm patiently honing my skills.



You definately should!



actually after last time in this thread, i was inspired to draw a few pics.... i drew them from existing comic pics, but did not trace... i will scan them soon and post them.... :)

[MutantCircus]

Just in case anyone wonders why I haven't updated in ages, there's a new supervisor at my office standing in while my normal supervisor is getting an operation on his throat. This new woman, however, is like a Nazi and won't let people doodle at their desks to pass time. Plus she applies a few other strict rules that she herself breaks regularly. Anyway, I'm not going to be able to draw at work for a couple of weeks, so I'm only drawing in my spare time, something I don't have much of these days. I'm working on designs for Venom and the Green Goblin (trying to find a way to incorperate the comic book mask and the movie's body armor together) but I don't have anything post-worth yet. I'll post as soon as I do actually finish something, though.

Cool! looking forward to seeing them! Check out my thead if you haven't already.



And MC, that sucks about the fascist takeover at work. Are you planning on working Ultimate Venom's origin into his design?

BTW for the goblin, I think you should do the exact opposite, keep the high tech goblin helmet(with a few tweaks) and reinvent the suit. But that's just my opinion, do what you wish.

I was going to mainly stick with the idea of the alien suit. I want Venom to basically look like a huge muscular guy with the black goo making him a bit larger than normal and a little disporportionate where it will make him look more menacing, but for the most part just look like an ultra-ripped bodybuilder.

As for your suggestion, I was thinking about that, mostly because the armor is so tough to draw with all the excess detail. As for the mask, I'm slightly stuck as to how static I want the mask to look, because looking at the comics I see the Goblin hardly ever changed his expression, his mouth would just be open or closed when he talked. So I'm thinking about high-tech versions like the fold-up mask that will allow a balance between rubber and metal.

Like that mask idea a lot. And also, that is a good reason to change the suit, and the fact that it makes him look like a power ranger, which a lot of fans still hate.

ON TOPIC, Love the Armani Ock. FF wallpaper rules, honestly the best one I've seen so far.

[MutantCircus]

Woah, good to be back. Had some major computer trouble, and lost everything on my hard drive. That's the third time since I got this computer, too. (Never buy an HP pavilion.) I've got some new drawings that I'll post when I get a chance.

[MutantCircus]

Just a quick sketch I made at work. Hid it before my supervisor saw it. Drawn with a ball-point pen, so it's really rough and I couldn't erase any mistake lines. Hope you like it in spite of that.

[Dr Doom]

Your getting better

[MutantCircus]

I'm quite proud of this one, mostly because it was drawn at work (Hitler has the week off), and I didn't have anything for reference, not even other pictures I've drawn.

Can someone seperate these two? They really need a time out.

I say Ball point Pens are the easiest pens to draw with.

[MutantCircus]

They are, but the ink comes out messy and if you make a mistake you can't undo it, so using a pen without having pencils down first is difficult.

You are honing your skills, and this is a work in progress, so heres a little friendly constructive critisicm: Make the legs (his real ones) bigger, and the tentacles longer (if possible).

But you're doing great! :D

Actually, the legs were the size I was shooting for, it was his body that came out way too big. I shrunk it and it looks a lot better now. This is on a lager sheet of paper than I'm used to, so it's taking me a while to adjust. Here's more progress:

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/293/2/a/Ock_vs_Spidey_by_MutantCircus.jpg

Spidey is not actually cut off, but my scanner is small so it didn't get it all.

[TheTexican]

Well like the other guy said, make the legs larger since everything else came out right. Fix Spidey's chin a little and it's perfect. You're getting really good dude!

[MutantCircus]

I'll work on his legs. What's under Spidey's chin is actually a little early shading because without it you couldin't really tell you were looking at the bottom of his chin, so I shaded it while it was fresh in my mind. The rest will get shaded before I'm through.

I also heve yet to draw Ock's upper left (his left) tentacle, but it'll probably make it in tomorrow.

[MutantCircus]

Fixed the legs AND the chin:

Thanks. :D Working on the two tentacles that have yet to be finished (the segments are difficult to space correctly).

Also, drawn at work today, the Mighty Thor:

Not enough Ock progress to post yet, so here's what I drew at work, Batman.

http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/295/c/7/Batman_by_MutantCircus.jpg

Don't worry, true believers, drawing a DC character was a one time thing. I'll be back in the Marvel universe as of next post.

[Jasmine]

Nice.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I like how the his cape drapes onto the floor. Good work.

[MutantCircus]

Before anyone complains, I don't like how this picture came out, and I can't draw a motorcycle to save my life. All I was trying to do was come up with an updated look for Ghost Rider. So here you have it. This was drawn at work today, too.

Nah, it was made for me in a thread a made to request it. I had someone resize it(the threads on the first page of fan-art) but I'm hoping somebody can fix it up without the screwed colors.

[Démon]

I've looked at your thread from the beginning and I must compliment you on your fast improvements. You've got the makings of a good artist. Anatomy needs a bit of work, but I've seen professionals make pretty big mistakes. (There's a panel in the second Goblin story in Ultimate Spider-Man where we see Norman after he transforms. Bagley messed up on his face, one of his cheeks was too far back, and didn't match the other side.) I've been drawing since I could pick up and coordinate a pencil and I still screw up a lot. Keep it up, man. :D

[Crimson Dynamo]

You should post some stuff here in the Fan Art forum D.

Who, me? I probably will. Some of my artwork will be scanned onto a PC in about a month, so, uh, yeah. :hyper:

Today was one of those days when nothing I drew looked good at all. I drew several pics, including Wolverine and Daredevil, but they looked so awful I dare not post them. Here's the least crappy thing I drew today:

I have gotta ink that Thing drawing. It's my favorite so far.

[Alexia Dark]

Okay, I had some free time today, and so I started to make that one-page deal I've been talking about. Well, Spidey sort of took over and wrote it himself. So you may be dissapointed that there's no Doc Ock (this time) or any other supervillain. It's just something that flowed well with Peter's character. Right now it's only early pencils, so a lot will change before I ink it, but I thought I'd show you how it's going:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/MutantCircus/Comic%20Book/fullpage1a_t.jpg
Could you do me a favor? Re-do this one a bit, and put in the voice over for my SM3 script:

"There are days when I wish the fighting would stop. Days when I wish I was just like everyone else. Days when I want to give up. But then I remember that Mary Jane is waiting for me, and I know I can't give up. Because I'm Spider-Man, now, and forever."

I think it would be awesome.
