Forfeit's Art

[forfeit]

Well, i thought id start a thread with my stuff on it. Il show some of my older stuff aswell, even though iv changed the style a lot since then.

Here is one of spawn i did ages ago. Excuse the crappy scanning, but its an A3 sized peice and i had to put the two halves together in photoshop. And also i didnt use the different line widths like i do now so it may not be clear whats going on lol

i like your style. if you keep practicing you will be really good someday.

[Silver Sable]

Beautiful art! Keep it up! ;) :up:

[forfeit]

thanx for the compliments everyone. I stopped doin that style a while ago becasue it was a bit too much like J Scott Campbell's Danger Girl stuff. Here's some more of my older stuff.

A character design for a space-age cowgirl

and an anime style robot. I never finished what she was leaning on for some reason. I probably got distracted with the next pic i had in mind.

[forfeit]

here's a quick one that i did today. I was intending to do a better version with a fish-eye lense effect for the buildings. But this one is just a prelim for the sake of ink practice.

[IzzyJG99]

That's a great style.

[Silver Sable]

You see his ass lol :up:

[forfeit]

You see his ass lol :up: Silver Sable

Typical Sable :up: hahaha thanx for pointing that one out

That's a great style. IzzyJG99

Thanx Iggy, always nice to get none ass related comments :) :up:

[Aquaman]

thats a cool angle. i must say the head looks a little big. nice job though.

[Silver Sable]

Silver Sable

Typical Sable :up: hahaha thanx for pointing that one out



My pleasure :cool:

[forfeit]

Aquaman, yeah i think u may be right there, thanx for the tip. I think i meant to make his head smaller and put a little of his neck into it, but i missed it when i cleaned up lol

Glad u like the angle. im after doin some more diverse stuff instead of the usual swinging poses that people use.

[grey_jeanie]

Really cool work. Really sharp and crisp lol I'm so poetic

[forfeit]

You're a poet and you dont know it! You make a rhyme every time!

*ahem* ok, ill stop now

[dusk20]

i really like your art style forfeit.

[forfeit]

Thanx Dusk. There's stil alot of work to be done on it, but i think im getting there. Here's a request i did for Nightwing. Its of his band Misplaced Hopes. He is in need of someone to colour them for him if anyone is interested. If you are, go to his thread for the latest version of the pics

[Silver Sable]

Awesome! Great work as always hun! :) :up:

[forfeit]

Thanx Sable. Im glad i tried this one for Nightwing. I think drawing real people in your own style can really help you out alot, much more than thinking up characters. Its been some good experience and Nightwing is good with the constructive criticism too.

[TankerX]

dude ur work is great
i especially like the evil dead one

[forfeit]

Thanx Tanker, always good to hear compliments.
Cybermonkeytron helped me with the background for the ED one. Taught me all about vanishing points and stuff which was really useful. The pic was kinda flat til then. I was pleased with the final result anyway. Im kinda hoping that someone will colour it for me sometime. But im easy lol

[TankerX]

lol

[forfeit]

Hey guys, if anyone ha any interesting ideas for drawings id be grateful for the ideas. I dont have much time for drawing recently, and to be quite honest, i think im getting stale. Any ideas at al would be most appreciated.

[grey_jeanie]

Octavious Thanx man, glad you like. If you look back at the first page of this thread, you can see how I've changed a LOT! hahaha

Love to hear more comments guys, keep them coming. Any constructive crits are welcome too!

This one's probably my favorite. Had to check the older pages of the thread once i saw your newer stuff. I applaud that you spent time working to create your own style. It works, it's a nice cross between cartoonist and more intricate work. Can't wait to see more. =)

[Mattchew]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/spidergod/300small.jpg


Great great great stuff. Love it all.

I will suggest something. It seems we have similar methods of doing stuff (makes a outline and then coloring).

I've found that, imo, characters look more natural if your outlines match the color, so brown hair is outlined in a darker brown, a red shirt is outlined in a darker red, etc.

The down side is there is something kinda cool about that really bold black outline, that you lose.

In the end, it comes down to a stylistic choice, but I thought I'd mention it none the less.

Regardless, I love your stuff and your style is really fun. I love the slightly cartoon-esque quality of your stuff.

Really great. Can't wait to see more!

[forfeit]

Syncos Thanx Sync, That's what i was going for hahaha I'm quite fond of the warrior woman myself actually. Based it on my girlfriend, pretty but would rip your ribcage out and use it as a xylophone if you got on the wrong side of her hahaha

Mattchew That's so wierd, I've been trying to get that effect myself! I'm trying to find an easy way of doing it in Photoshop but just can't figure it out. If you use PS and have any tips, I'd be much obliged.

I'll post some more pics here soon guys. Thanx for all the comments!

[forfeit]

Here's another for you guys to cast your yes over....

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/spidergod/DDfalling.jpg

[Mattchew]

no tricks here... my methods are slow as can be.

love the DD pic btw. The buildings are awesome!

[forfeit]

That's a shame, i was hoping for some pearls of wisdom hahaha How do you do it though? Because i tend to lose the crispness of the lines because it turns out too sloppy.

The DD pic was intended to be in a fisheye pint of view. It doesnt look bad, but not as good as it did in my head. Dontcha just hate it when that happens?

[Syncos]

That's a shame, i was hoping for some pearls of wisdom hahaha How do you do it though? Because i tend to lose the crispness of the lines because it turns out too sloppy.


The trick to avoiding sloppiness in photoshop is to ink the image at a very large scale, (i usually go for at least 400%). that way when you actually get it inked, you can scale it down, and the lines auto format to a smaller size, so it turns out cleaner.

It doesn't allow you to be completely reckless with your brushing, but it allows you quite a bit of leeway. Hope that helps a bit.

Hey all, Here's two really quick piccys.

Wow, some really nice stuff here! You seem to be developing a really nice style... These two are particular favourites! I love the slightly abnormal body shapes. Works great.

[forfeit]

Thanx Ravana, glad you like. I've been through a few phases to get to where i am now. Most of the time im happy with what i get, but I'm not perfect yet. I'll keep at it eh? :woot:

Great Spidey pic. :up:

Hope you likey!!!

Really like this Spidey. Nice style, dynamic pose. One minor suggestion, thicken the lines for his shoulders. The way it is now it's the same thickness as everything else and runs right into his forearms giving the impression of stubby arms. Thickening the line slightly will help separate the shoulders from the forearms a little more.

[Mattchew]

^that's a nice point.

[forfeit]

Mee Thanks Mee, glad you like.

Mattchew Merci hahaha I'm quite fond of the Spidey pose.

Mrh7448 Excellent tip!!! I'll give it a go. Thanx man!

[forfeit]

Some new stuff. I'm aware I'm no regular around here but I like to throw some stuff up anyway hahaha
