Well....I'll probably add one in later, but this illustration is for a flash animation which I'll also post when I'm done. So you'll see why I didn't put a highlight on the right side.

Thanks for the kind compliments everyone!

[KAZUYA]

Great art Dorky!

[bean_farmer]

[ctmarvelman]

that is some great coloring work in your snake works.

The Wayne facial study displays GREAT range in emotional drawing for you. Great job.

X-Men- Cyclops is your best and it too is awesome. Looks a bit like Quitely's. Good job tho.

Anxious awaiting it.

My only crit is he looks a little forced around the waste, like his trunks are pulling on his back. Other than that it an great pic. Keep it up :up:

[WildCard]

Fantastic stuff

oh wow. :eek:. Those are incredible. I love all of them. 'cept for the hat that the Riddler is wearing. Is he suposed to look like Gilligan?

I think that maybe the faces could be a little more than normal. The Penguin hardly has the look of anything 'cept a normal overweight balding guy. Its wonderfully drawn, but I don't see a whole lot of penguin look. Maybe a slightly pointier nose.

And I think the joker's smile could be exagerated a little more.

Then again you could keep them all the way they are and I'd still love looking at them. I'd love to see more stuff of yours DorkyFresh. Any of the other World's Finest rogues. Anything actually. Keep up the fantastic work. :up:b

[nosebleed.]

Hey, repost your Megatron one. I wanna make an avatar out of it. And have you ever drawn Prime? If not then do it...DO IT NOOW!!

edit: nvrmind, i found megs

Thanks for the advice and I would normally have drawn the characters the way you said (Penguin with a pointier nose, Joker with a wider grin) but with these sketches I was going for a very realistic style and concept. Ra's is loosely based on Liam Neeson. Joker's a mixture of Steve Buscemi and Tim Roth. Luthor is, of course, based on Kevin Spacey. Riddler is based on Sam Rockwell. Two-Face is based on Gerard Butler and Catwoman is based on Angelina Jolie. Of course, Batman and Superman are based on Bale and Routh. Penguin isn't based on anyone in particular...thought I kept thinking about DeVito while I drew him.

Thanks for the advice/comments guys. Greatly appreciated.

[Cobblepot]

Great head shot's. How long have you been drawing?

[Mr. Edward Hyde]

That joker reminds me of Trent Reznor.

[Mr. Edward Hyde]

Trent:
http://216.197.101.64/sgnnews12/pictures/Trent%20Reznor%20(WinCE).jpg

[BizarroMe1001]

I assumed that was the look you were going for, but I wasn't sure. I'd like to see the more defined stuff, but either way, I could tell who they were without it, as well as who they were based off of. Once again, amazing work.

[DorkyFresh]

Great head shot's. How long have you been drawing?
Ever since I can remember....




...and yeah, my Joker kinda DOES look like Trent Reznor, hehe.

[nosebleed.]

If you don't draw Optimus Prime, I will hijack your avatar and put a CINO picture in there.

[The Last Meatbag]

You ar a really realistic drawer, I like that a lot.

[DorkyFresh]

Actually the Riddler was my favorite part

[DorkyFresh]

huh? what are you talking about? that's a concept for a sequel to Batman BEGINS...

[spiderfan08]

cool batman. very cool.

[X-Fan#1]

holy crap dorky, i love those head shots of Batman, Superman and their rouges. Ur idea for Bats sequel armor looks great too.

[Killswitch]

yeah, man! I love the colouring. Now draw Solid Snake sneaking up on Cyclops!

[nosebleed.]

[Joseph_Freefall]

Dorky, draw me! In a bikini!

All of you, stop giving me those looks, dammit! :mad:




Nice stuff you got there. Really skilled, Sir Dork. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

they're on his guantlets...hehe



...i realized i didn't draw them and got too lazy to do it. i'll fix it later...

[Jack Rabbit]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Concepts/suit3sm.jpg

Freakin' sweet, dude. LOvin' it. I'd like to see more punches and such on the belt, or were you trying to streamline it? The gloves, like on the Begins suit, look too plain to me- I think they need detail, like the groves you put in the legs or such?

The detail on his face looks blurry and smudged? What happened? It's not that important, and I'm not complaining, usually you just put painstakingly clear and concise detail into your faces. Speaking of which, the studies of Supes and co on the preivious page...fanstastic.

SO cool, man. So, so cool.

Keep it comin'.:up::up:

[the fleck]

Wow... you're kinda good.

[ABC]

They're all great, the only thing is you need to make Clark Kent look a little more dorkier.

[DorkyFresh]

They're all great, the only thing is you need to make Clark Kent look a little more dorkier.
I'm not into making Clark look like a dork. That was only in the movies...he was never dorky guy in the comics, he just wore glasses. If I were to draw Clark or direct a Superman movie....Clark would still be mild mannered, but he wouldn't be the accident prone/goofy guy from the movies.

[BK]

Wasn't he a dork in Pre-Crisis, albeit one that was just pretending?

[DorkyFresh]

Either way...I just don't like Clark being a big dork. He's not ultra smooth, cool, or hip by any means.....but he's not Peter Parker either. Clark Kent should be what Kal-El was brought up to act like by his Earth parents. Clark Kent shouldn't be an act...

...I'm not saying Superman should be an act either, but we all have different personalities within ourselves and act different ways in certain situations. When he's Superman...he should be free, outgoing, VERY friendly and always in a good mood because he's doing what he really likes doing (flying, helping people, etc). While he's Clark...he should be just like every other person...bills to pay, in a bad mood sometimes, not overly friendly (shy even), and stressed because it's back to reality.

But that's just the way I look at and imagine him...

Didn't your last paragraph just describe Parker for the last 30 years? And oh yeah, Dorky Clark predates Dorky Peter by about 20 years. ;)

Anyway, we're getting OT. Your art looks great and you should really hurry up with more. :o :up:

[Valorman]

you know,youve inspired me to go pick up my drawing pad again..thanks

[DorkyFresh]

Didn't your last paragraph just describe Parker for the last 30 years?
maybe for the last 30 years, but Parker started off as a nerd...

...Clark (at least as far as I know of) was never a geek in the comics until the movie came out.

[BK]

Well Parker was a nerd-nerd for only a short period amount of time. After about the 4th year, that's when he became more social friendly, and he's been like that ever since.

As for dorky CK (one of 3 personalities at the time), like I said he's been like that in pre-crisis which lasted for about 40-50 years.

[DorkyFresh]

Either way....I like Clark better when he's not nerdy. K? Thanx...

[DorkyFresh]

Anywho...

...here's something I'm workin' on a the moment. It's the lineart for a Superman Returns poster I plan on making.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/WIPS/sketches/postersketch1sm.jpg

[Joseph_Freefall]

What kind of references are you using, Dorky? (I'm assuming you are)

[spiderfan08]

ok for the superman picture, it doesn't look right to me. i think is body looks fat or his head is too small. the face is good. it looks exactly like him.

[Super Kal]

i think it looks fantastic. The only thing I haver against it though is the symbol is extrememly small, even smaller than the Superboy shield from the Superboy TV series

[Super Kal]

I went ahead and gave the last Supes pic a go, and this is what I came up with

thats fantastic.cant wait till its done

[nosebleed.]

What kind of references are you using, Dorky? (I'm assuming you are)

Dorks doesn't normally use reference...he did for the last Batman Begins contest but normally he doesn't. He asked me for help with this Superman pose. I drew him a sketch...he completely changed it around so as far as I know, there is no reference for this supes sketch.

[TheDeafGuy]

not bad at all man, I like you angle and proportions, very well done

[DorkyFresh]

thanks guys....my bro (nosebleed) drew me a sketch of how he thinks i should've drawn Supes which was a straightforward shot of Supes flying towards the camera but i thought it was a bit too boring so i changed the perspective. i didn't use anything to reference the body, but i DID use the picture of Routh where he's wearing just a black t-shirt and he's smirking a little. i used that as reference for his face...

spiderfan....i see what you're sayin' about the body lookin' fat...but that's what a body in that position looks like in that perspective. it's just that i haven't thrown the colors on there.....it should look a lot better once i do....but i agree, he kinda looks like he has a gutt right now.

[nosebleed.]

nosebleed drew me a sketch of how he thinks i should've drawn Supes which was a straightforward shot of Supes flying towards the camera but i thought it was a bit too boring so i changed the perspective.

But I was stupid to do that and I know this now. I'm truly sorry and apologize for questioning your infinite wisdom. Please accept my apology and as a token of my apologeticness...please accept my Wacom tablet as a gift. I will send it out as soon as possible. Have a wonderful day!

no probs...apology accepted.

give me a break, would ya? i used her mask (which isn't bad looking if you take away the tall head) and her gloves (which aren't bad looking either). i didn't use the buckles around her waist or her torn and flared leather pants, i used the parts of her outfit that actually don't look bad.

thanks meatbag, lol.....s'all good, keep practicing and u'll get to there. in a way it's good that u think u suck, it's what makes a good, modest artist.

sure, that'd be great if ya don't mind...

sorry i haven't been on much guys....i started a new job a few months back that requires me to draw a whole bunch so by the time i get home i'm tired of drawing....but i managed to force myself to make this for a birthday of a friend of mine.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/jessekwecom/monroe1.jpg

admittedly, i traced it in Photoshop...but it was a good learning experience never-the-less...

[ComicChick]

you traced that better on the computer than i can trace something with pencil and paper. awesome!

too bad we're not buddies, i'd get you to do something like this for me lol

[Duker Jay]

Traced or not...that's excellent.

And, by the way, just because it's traced doesn't mean it didn't take talent. You still have to consider things like line weight, choice of what lines to include.

For those of you up on your art history, you may recall that a lot of artists of the past (I can't remember exact dates off the top of my head) were using a little something called a camera obscura which basically projected a scene onto canvas which they also traced.

So, there you go...tracing isn't always the calling card of a complete hack...especially when it comes out looking like this one.

[DorkyFresh]

thanks a lot duker jay....i didn't know about the whole camera obscuar thing. i really appreciate the comments fellas. i'm gonna be posting more stuff here within the next few days...so keep an eye out.

[ComicChick]

i think it looks great, traced or not. tracing isn't an easy thing by any means, and i agree with duker jay about line weight and stuff.

i didnt know what a camera obscura was until you described it, then i kinda knew what you were talking about. it reminds me of this thing i had when i was little. its a blue piece of plastic that u stand up between a pic and a piece of paper and it reflects the image onto the paper so u can trace, only everything's inverted.

[Duker Jay]

Well, I won't go into too much detail about camera obscuras because you can just look up information on the internet easily enough but, basically it's latin for Dark Room.

From what I've learned there are two main types of a camera obscura...one is a smaller desktop intrument and one can be an actual room.

If you've ever watched the movie "Girl with a Pear Earring" (which is about Johannes Vermeer) you see the desktop version in that.

In short, you set up a scene that is projected onto your paper or canvas and you trace it out to get your proportions and angles. It's also how they were able to get the intricate patterns and embroideries of clothes or elaborate chandeliers...or so it's been hypothesized.

Anyways...nice work, DF.

[ComicChick]

thanks for the info duker jay, that's really interesting. i havent seen the movie, but i have heard of it.

great job Dorkyfresh

[ComicChick]

dorky, is it hard to do something like the marilyn picture? i'd like to try and do that to some photos i have.

got any tips? or maybe some tutorials that could help me out? i'm trying to learn this photoshop thing, and that looks like something interesting that i'd like to try and do.

[DorkyFresh]

it depends on how good you are with a pencil and if you have a drawing tablet for your computer. VERY LITTLE photoshop is involved really....most of that is just figuring out what kind of technique to use, what kind of lines to make, and all that good stuff. i had fun with it because the style i used for the marilyn picture is a little different than the style i normally use...

...but yeah, most of the work from in that drawing is technique and not really photoshop work. it's almost like drawing on tracing paper....except the original image is much easier to see in photoshop...hehe.

[ComicChick]

i've been thinking about getting a tablet one day, when i'm rich and can actually afford one lol.

i did goof around with some pics on photoshop and put a layer over it and drew with the line tool. but it wasnt the same and i am clueless when it comes to stuff like that anyway lol. i'll get the hang of it one day

[Hahahaha]

Since I can't find my old thread...I'm making this one.

Here's my Bruce Wayne study. Based off of Christian Bale of course...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Sketches/brucesketches1.jpg Keep at it, DF! I'm drawing and working on a story of my own, so I'm investing and putting in as much as I can! You'll do fine.:up::)

[DorkyFresh]

another quick sketch...just f'n around with Superman...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Sketches/concept1.jpg

[DorkyFresh]

hmmm...guess no one likes my Superman.....oh well...

...i'm workin' on a piece dedicated to Dane Cook right now. i'm sure some of you know, but just in case you didn't...Dane Cook had like a 15 second role in Myster Men as 'the Waffler'. here's my take on him doing Dane Cook's 'SUPERFINGER' or 'Su-Fi'.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/WIPS/wafflerprev1.jpg

[ghost113]

I have that film his scene is so dumb but funny still, my favorite part is when he burns his face with the waffler.

[DorkyFresh]

"i am the waffler.....with my griddle of justice, i bash the enemy over the head...or.......burn them like so! tssssss aaaahhh!!!

i also have my truth serum, which is....low in fat. i even have a theme song...it's kinda like...

WAFFLE MAN!!!! extra crispy, bad guys are histry!"

[ghost113]

so you love that movie too huh.

[DorkyFresh]

yup...

...it's funny, i originally thought the movie was stupid...but then i came to my senses and actually watched the movie and found myself liking it.

[ghost113]

I recently got it for christmas and I love it I actually remembering seeing it in theaters and it was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

[ComicChick]

ive never seen the movie but i've seen dane on comedy central and he is hilarious

Dear Dorky,
hello. we used to converse more when i had the screen name PHOENIX_PAE--- i was on here when it was mainly: ghrendal, drakon, incredible bob, daredevil and a few others. The main ones that is. but i never told you how much i love your pencils! I love them! you face expresssion def. put many to shame. BUt why dont you ever do backgrounds? and what do you do for coloring? cause both of those catagories lack horribly in your work. I would love to see you pic up a coloring method that you can really rock out for some finished illustrations! and are back grounds a weakness for you? they certainly are for me. anyways... not trying to be rude... i love your work, just curious

sup dude, i think i remember you....phoenix_pae DOES look familiar. but yeah...backgrounds are a pain for me, hehe. i really SHOULD get used to doing backgrounds even if they're just sketches. my colors aren't really bangin' cuz i didn't put all my effort into it. i don't mean to brag, but i'm capable of much better. i don't know if you saw my batman begins contest entry (and i don't mean to be a show off or anything) but here...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/jessekwecom/contestentry1.jpg

....that's what i consider to be probably my best piece of art. that's what i can do when i get it my all. i think i have, at least, decent grasp on coloring...but i think i'm always gonna have problems with backgrounds, hehe...

[Duker Jay]

I think back to the 'Sauron's Demise' piece and the colouring on that one.

I dont know if you're still working on that one, DF, but that was maybe some of the finest colouring I've seen, professional or otherwise.

[pt_photo_inc]

i think i just creamed myself! nice job! okay... well that does some of my questions up

[DorkyFresh]

lol...thanks guys...

...i've been f***ing around with 3d Studio Max a little bit. i need to get back into 3d if i want to keep my job. anywho, i know some of you might not care but here's something i dished out earlier today...

here's a lil' something i did. it's a concept sketch for a short film i wanna do...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Concepts/ninjagal1sm.jpg

[Jack Bristow]

Anyways...nice work, DF.

Yeah . . . interesting subject . . . I forget the name of the book, but David Hockney wrote a book about all of the devices the Renaissance artists used, that were thought to not be invented until years later. It makes you feel a little better that the talent of the Renaissance wasn't completely incomprehensible . . . interesting book.

[Jack Bristow]

By the way, this is some stellar Illustrator rendering . . .

[DorkyFresh]

i WISH i could be that good in Illustrator, hehe...but nah, that's just plain ol' photoshop...

[Jack Bristow]

oh jeez!! That's not Illustrator!? Well, it's certainly not "plain ol' photoshop" coloring, because it's too amazing . . . seriously! It's easy to screw up colors in Photoshop . . . you've got all the right subtleties down pat.

Sam the dog!!! Just noticed that . . . I rock Sam on my desktop!!!! He looks straight out of a zombie movie!! Now that would be an interesting subject for a piece . . . .

Yeah that is really sweet

that is mega awesome.......

Omg out of all your drawlings i chose this to be the best and it was hard to chose nice work:cyclops:
thanks a lot, ngoc. i did this more than 2 years ago...before i got my Wacom. i think that was actually the last piece i colored with a mouse. boy did that suck (coloring with a mouse)...haha

[DorkyFresh]

quick 15 minute Solid Snake sketch...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Sketches/snake1.jpg

[DorkyFresh]

here's a lil' bit of what i'm working on right now...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/WIPS/kirkwip1.jpg

...it's a tribute to tv/movie Superman. this is Kirk Alyn as Supes. i changed the costume up a bit to make it easier on the eyes, but these are just the flat colors...i'm gonna put shading in and everything. i'm gonna draw Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Caine, and Brandon Routh...

[The Last Meatbag]

sounds cool

[doommachine]

No Tom Welling?

[ghost113]

yeah no tom welling.

[Eternal]

For shame!

[ToddIsDead]

Since Tom Welling hasn't ever worn a Superman suit, I think it's fine. Besides, I can't stand him.

[Zolland]

his head looks off center :-\

[DorkyFresh]

thanks guys...yeah, no Tom Welling because he's never worn the Supersuit...PLUS, i just don't really care for it. maybe if they ever make him wear the suit i'll add him...but since they haven't....he won't be included.

his head looks off center :-\
yeah i was wondering about that too but i thought maybe it was just me....i'll fix it tomorrow. good lookin' out!

[Aquaman]

looks sweet dorkyfresh. :up:

[DorkyFresh]

thanx....here are the george reeves lines and flats.

[Timstuff]

quick 15 minute Solid Snake sketch...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Sketches/snake1.jpg

That's pretty cool. What technique did you use to draw it on black like that? Did you do it straight from photoshop?

[ComicChick]

i would like an update on that batman piece too.

[sidkumar]

Very well coloured though it would have been nicer if you added more detail and lighting in your pencils as oppesed to colours

[sidkumar]

Very well coloured though it would have been better if there was more deatils in the pencils for the face

[RAMORE]

i would like an update on that batman piece too.


NO UPDATE FOR YOU!! (in voice of soup nazi)

sorry couldn't resist

[DorkyFresh]

i've drawn just a tad more on the Batman piece...but not much. i'm weird when it comest to my personal projects...i like to jump around. but i WILL finish that Batman piece........along with my Sauron's Demise....


....eventually...hehe. thanks for the comments guys.

oh yeah, Timstuff, i just did that all in photoshop.

[DorkyFresh]

[Obsidian]

oooo...could you do one of Ra's Al Ghul from "Batman Begins"...the real one i mean...with the nice suit and cane/sword?

[DorkyFresh]

well i could promise you i would......but then i'd be lying...hehe, sorry.

[Obsidian]

well i could promise you i would......but then i'd be lying...hehe, sorry.

that's ok...just making a suggestion:p

[RAMORE]

cool phoenix

[DorkyFresh]

thanks ramore...dang, is no one clicking on my thread or do most of ya'll just not care for my art?

[Aquaman]

That phoenix is real sweet. :up:. Can't wait to see what you do next.

[RAMORE]

what do you mean the lack of comments?

If that's what you mean it's not you. The newkids on here only seem to comment to say something sucks or pick a fight adn that's it. If it's good you get nothing:)

[DorkyFresh]

That phoenix is real sweet. :up:. Can't wait to see what you do next.
thanks for the kind words, mr. aqua! hehe


what do you mean the lack of comments?

If that's what you mean it's not you. The newkids on here only seem to comment to say something sucks or pick a fight adn that's it. If it's good you get nothing:)
ahhhh!!! okay...so i guess i should actually take that as a compliment? haha

[RAMORE]

pretty much! Damn punk kids:D

[Bill]

I'm really liking the folds in Pheonix's clothing. Very well done.:up:

[nosebleed.]

Your Phoenix looks too "homely" looking. She looks more like Anna Paquin's Rogue (she's not the most stunning looking girl). Should have made her more attractive in an intense sort of way. But great art as usual you lazy mufuh.

[Zolland]

I was gonna mention before how she had both small boobs and a small ass. But I find it refreshing.

[DorkyFresh]

i don't think she has small boobs or ass though...i just don't make women look uber sexy if it's not one of the important things about the character. if it were someone like Catwoman or Vampirella i'd givem bigger boobs and ass.

but i do think i need to work on my poses because i really think i could've posed her better. i think that's part of the reason why i couldn't make her face prettier, because i'm not good at drawing faces at that particular angle.
so yeah.....need ta work on me poses...

[RAMORE]

Actually in a skin tight no support costume those are pretty big boobs just not porn star big;)

[Aquaman]

Yeah, she does seem well-endowed. The clothing is really sweet.

I think her right foot is pointed a little funny with the angle the leg is pointed out. However, I could just be crazy.

[Zolland]

Actually in a skin tight no support costume those are pretty big boobs just not porn star big;)


I must be used to porn star big :cool:

[DorkyFresh]

I think her right foot is pointed a little funny with the angle the leg is pointed out. However, I could just be crazy.

yeah i had trouble with that foot...i could never get it to look right. which again...says i need to work on my poses...

I must be used to porn star big :cool:

if it's t&a ya want then i recommend the Adam Hughes gallery ;) hehe, i love his art

gotta love adam:D

[DJ BLASTER]

yeah anatomy is still pretty weak, maybe you should practice...then again your art hasnt really improved in the last two years you have been posting here.

[nosebleed.]

yeah anatomy is still pretty weak, maybe you should practice...then again your art hasnt really improved in the last two years you have been posting here.

i don't see anything really wrong with the anatomy...where'd you get that from besides the foot being a little awkward? Its far from "weak".

[DJ BLASTER]

i don't see anything really wrong with the anatomy...where'd you get that from besides the foot being a little awkward? Its far from "weak".
thats because you havent stuided anatomy, im just being honest.

[nosebleed.]

Well, excuse me Da Vinci. I didn't know you had my college transcripts. Criticism without being constructive is what I call trolling.

[DorkyFresh]

yeah anatomy is still pretty weak, maybe you should practice...then again your art hasnt really improved in the last two years you have been posting here.

thats because you havent stuided anatomy, im just being honest.

you're not being honest....you're just being rude. both of those posts read as if they're disrespectful. you don't come to someone's thread, call their art "weak", tell them to practice, then say they haven't grown as an artist in the last 2 years. you even had the nerve to tell someone that you barely even know that they haven't studied anatomy. you have no right to tell him he's never studied anatomy just because you THINK my anatomy is "weak". i'm all up for constructive criticism, but those last 2 posts were pretty much trashing my work without giving me any advice or pointers other than "you should practice."

anyway, being that you're supposedly an expert in anatomy...i have a challenge for you. take my phoenix piece and sketch your corrections to her anatomy over my piece. that shouldn't be so hard should it? i can guarantee that you won't find many...other than her foot, which i've already admitted i had problems with.

[RAMORE]

Ignore DJ Blaster he's obviously being a prick.

[Wushuboy]

In all honesty DJ Blaster, your work is no where near as good as dorkyfresh's. I looked at your deviantart page and the pencils that were actually yours had a slew of anatomy problems. Better hit those anatomy books.

And Dorky... I think that phoenix pic is pretty good but as other people have stated that foot looks awkward and youve already admitted to having troubles with drawing the face at that angle. It's ok.. i have trouble with that angle as well. From what i see though, the only things that bother me are her butt and hand. Her butt seems a bit TOO round..it's almost crescent shaped and looks artificial. Flatten the curve at the top of her butt just a little to give it a more natural shape. Her hand also looks a bit weird.. maybe a bit too much detail and the proportions seems just a little off at that angle... like it seems more claw like than hand like.

As for the foot.. yeah the angle is all wrong. Try drawing the foot in more of a profile view while showing just a sliver of the sole of her boot. This would give a much more natural looking foot with the proper angle at least that's how i see it.

i did a quick little thing in paint.. sorry i only hae paint right now and a mouse so it's difficult but i hope you can see what i did. but ill be getting a new computer and wacom soon woohoo.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v134/wushuboy/phoenix.jpg

oh yeah.. and generally the problem i have with drawing the face at that angle is making the mouth too big. I find if i make it just a little smaller despite what your brain tells you that it will look a little more natural. give it a try.

[DorkyFresh]

hey dude, i haven't seen you in a while...hehe. thanks for the advice and pointers...i agree with everything you said and i see how i could've made the foot and her ass better. i'll take note of that for next time...

...when are you gonna get some of your stuff up, dude? i haven't seen anything from you in a while...

[Wushuboy]

np dude... just trying to make everyone a better artist. Seriously, I havent been drawing much lately.. but a coworker of mine has inspired me to get my butt in gear so im getting and building a new computer today just for photoshop work and i'll be getting a new wacom tablet soon so i can dive into learning photoshop. If all goes well I'll be able to put up some of my newest artwork this weekend. Nothing fancy or colored like yours tho. Probably just pencil sketches for now. But we'll see.

Good luck with the art dorkyfresh!

[imagine12]

thats because you havent stuided anatomy, im just being honest.


Dude, youre criticism is a bit pretentious when your stuff isn't any better at all. I've taken loads of life drawing and studied anatomy and unless your just nitpicking for the sake of it, the foot is really the only REAL problem area.

[DorkyFresh]

thanks for backin' me up guys...i'm not sure why DJ Blaster felt the need to post those things but thanks for speakin' up.

anyway, i felt like doing a quick sketch of what i would do if i could change Supes' suit.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/Geijutsuka/Concepts/newsupes.jpg

[Zolland]

i'm all about the classics but i really like that design.....maybe the original "S" though ;)

[Wushuboy]

not really feeling this design dorky, especially the cape attachments. Reminds me of kirk alyn's or dean cain's pad like attachement. In all honesty i dont think anyone could successfully redesign superman's costume and make it work but people still continue trying. Superman without the red underwear just doesnt look like superman anymore. He just needs that red in that area.

[RAMORE]

i disagree i hate the underwear adn think it's a bad idea that needs to be changed but i'm in the minority:D

[RAMORE]

I like that supes design but i think zolland is right needs a diff. 's' not the standard but not kingdom come either.

Question is the top blue a different shade lighter blue? if so i like it.

The yellow piping is an interesting idea that i didn't like at first but the more i look the more i like.

The cape attach just seem to wide somehow maybe if it were just a little slimmer mabe with something to attach it to?

You should post this in the Dc redesign thread really good!

[DorkyFresh]

before i start...just letting ya'll know, i know how to take constructive criticism and i took notice of what you guys typed and i'm not saying i'm right or you guys are wrong, i'm just giving my reasons why i made the design the way i did. :)

not really feeling this design dorky, especially the cape attachments. Reminds me of kirk alyn's or dean cain's pad like attachement. In all honesty i dont think anyone could successfully redesign superman's costume and make it work but people still continue trying. Superman without the red underwear just doesnt look like superman anymore. He just needs that red in that area.

about the cape attachment...i didn't want something that looks like he just tucked it in. i love the way Donner's Superman has his cape attached, but i wanted something different...something that would convey Superman's SUPERness and that's when i remembered sketch of Kirk Alyn's Superman (you're exactly right, Wushuboy). the artist drew the cape attachment in such a way that it looked almost like a uniform and that's what i wanted Supes' costume to look like....a Kryptonian/alien uniform. i'll make another drawing, later, to show you what i mean.

i have to disagree about Superman without red underwear....there have been redesigns out there that get rid of the undies while still keeping the Superman LOOK. i don't think any design will ever replace the underwear, but i think Superman is still Superman if he forgets his undies.

I like that supes design but i think zolland is right needs a diff. 's' not the standard but not kingdom come either.
well...i'd thougth about doing a cross between a Kingdom Come \s/ and the original, but when i look at the original (even the hybrid Kingdom Come/original shield) it still looks TOO much like an "s" to me. i know it's a far stretch to think an alien could look and act exactly like us, but it's even further of a fetch that they have a character in their language that happens to look like an "s" as much as the current \S/ does. my brother was looking at one day and said something that stuck in my mind. the diamond shape with one diagonal line running through it looks much more like an alien character than the original shield does...and that's why i love the idea so much, because it still looks like an "S" while making it look more alien. i know a lot of people aren't gonna like it but i'm just giving you the reason why i made the "S" look like that.

Question is the top blue a different shade lighter blue? if so i like it.
thanks and yes, i did that on purpose. i tried making the colors more dramatic but in the end....the subtlety made it look better i think.

The yellow piping is an interesting idea that i didn't like at first but the more i look the more i like.

The cape attach just seem to wide somehow maybe if it were just a little slimmer mabe with something to attach it to?

You should post this in the dc redesign thread really good!
the yellow piping was something that i had to struggle with. at first, i wasn't going to add it....but then i got to thinking about Supes' colors. i wanted Superman to look almost....royal. and red and blue alone didn't make him look much like royalty, plus...adding yellow makes him look that much more like Supes....so i added piping. admittedly it still didn't turn out as good as i'd hoped, but i think that's just because i didn't draw it right. i'll probably do another sketch. as for the cape attachment...see my reply to Wushuboy, hehe.

and i WILL post this is in the DC thread. thanks again, guys, for checkin' out my stuff (that didn't sound right, haha!)

Translation: "I'M BEING A DICK FOR NO REASON!"

no really i dont like the art, and i dont have to pretend to be nice.
you should be able to take such crits without attacking the person.
actually, i have a phd in anatomy

but really i dont think that your art has improved since i saw it two years ago, that is an opinion. maybe you havent practiced a lot or something, but i think the reason is that anytime somebody gives crits on these boards twenty people make posts sucking up to the artist. if you suck, you suck. just take the crit and figure out whats wrong with your drawing.

and btw college degrees and transcripts dont mean a thing if you dont have any art to show besides this:

Who peed in your Corn Flakes?

DJ, not taking sides or anything, but what you posted before wasn't really a critique. You said the anatomy was off, but gave no reason or any insightful details on how to fix it.

And yes, you don't have to pretend to be nice, but then why do you have to be so blunt and rude? I'm sure you wouldn't want other artists treating you that way. :up: :)

Bull**** You Have A Phd In Anatomy!!

You Have A Phd In Being A Royal Ass!

*slams on cymbal*

Ill be here all week folks. ;)

Your profile says you're from Rhode Island and only 17 years old.

I highly HIGHLY doubt you've been going through college courses long enough to earn a PhD. That'd be four years of Bachelor studies, two years of masters studies, and however many years worth of classes for your Doctorate.

Not to mention the work on your site is 90% penciled by other people and colored by you. I can't find a single pencil work by you on your site.

P.S. If the PhD in Anatomy was sarcasm, you kids need new ways of implying sarcasm. When the intelligence of the poster is questioned its hard to know whether or not theyre being sarcastic or are just that ridiculously outrageous.

You may or may not have a PhD in anatomy. I don;t really care at all because it doesnt mean a thing since it doesnt seem to have helped your drawing skills. I'd really like to see what kind of skills you've gained since 2004 because judging by your figure art on your deviantart site your grasp of drawing human anatomy isnt very good. Seems that PhD hasnt done much for you. Having a degree in anatomy means nothing if you can reproduce what you learned. Perhaps you should look up the definition of constructive criticism. If all artists could just figure out what was wrong with their drawings they wouldnt be asking for constructive criticism. Sometimes artists are blinded by their own stylistic mistakes.

So put up or shut up and lets see you post some of your OWN artwork and not just your colors over some othre artist's work.

no...you don't have to...if you don't like my art, that's totally your opinion. as long as you're not flaming or being overly rude, that's fine...

you should be able to take such crits
crits? i'm sorry? did you mean critiques? you gave me....critiques? :confused:

WHEN DID YOU GIVE ME CRITIQUES? in case you forgot....here are your last 2 posts on this thread...

yeah anatomy is still pretty weak, maybe you should practice...then again your art hasnt really improved in the last two years you have been posting here.
thats because you havent stuided anatomy, im just being honest.

now let's look up the definition of "criticize". it's says (marriam-wester online) "to consider the merits and demerits of and judge accordingly." okay...so.....where in your last two posts did you mention the GOOD things or give me any real advice? you know what???? I DON'T THINK YOU DID!

so...we've established that you didn't give me a fair critique and you gave me next to no advice.

actually, i have a phd in anatomy
lemme get this straight....

...you're 17 and you have a deviantart gallery made of up of mediocre colors with drawings of characters with exaggerated proportions..and you have a doctorate in anatomy???

that's VERY hard to believe! tell you what...if you can prove that you do, i will put my foot in my mouth and apologize for doubting you...but that doesn't change you saying you did something you actually didn't.

if you suck, you suck. just take the crit and figure out whats wrong with your drawing.
i totally agree...

...the problem is...you didn't give me a critique...

and btw college degrees and transcripts dont mean a thing if you dont have any art to show besides this:
if you're going to be dirty, expect to be treated dirty...

...phd's don't mean anything if your art looks like this...

think about that next time you decide to be unfairly rude to a fellow artist.

pwnt :o

[ampersand]

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure the idea of a Phd in anatomy makes no sense. It was sarcasm.

Crappy sarcasm.

But, posting his art as an attack like that is just as dick-ish as anything he said. Way to be immature Dorky.
