hey dude

yeah, i'm likin the slightly alien proportions on the surfer's head: works really well. got me thinking: i don't recall ever seeing norrin radd pre-silver? was he a surfer??

good luck in the contest, man: it's a strong entry!

 

[Mattchew]

really like the human torch.....not so much the surfer....amazing none the less

yeah... the surfing pose was tricky for me, I'm not the best at a man's body to begin with, and I've been taking a hit for the whole alien brows... so you're definately in the majority about my take on the surfer... but for me, I think its at least a bit closer to a man's body and I usually do. Thanks for the kind words about the Torch... I was happy with how that came out.

Pretty sweet! Let us know when the voting starts, you get my vote.

Thanks!

awesome catfight

Thanks... my attempt at humor.

I wish you the best in this month's contest.

I don't put too much weight in the outcome, as I've only once got a 'shout out'. Having said that, thanks and the same to you!

Kinda what I was thinking, but not exactly a popular idea, it seems. Ah well. You entering this month?

hopefully i'll get round to it. the silver surfer is a character of great aesthetic possibilities!

Awesome. love the final pic... really like the colours and style you used to colour Johnny. Not 'obvious' flame look, but really works.

thanks!

Starting a new pic just for fun... Trying a new approach kinda. I'm thinking the end result will be somewhat similar, but just going about it a different way.

here's step one:

Just the silhouette of a girl with a gun... for now.

[Mattchew]

So this seems to be going a bit faster... still can't tell how it will turn out, since im going about it a different way..

I hope @ this point fan's of 'Futurama' will see that I'm doing my take on Leela...

In the end, I plan to make here as badas$ as I can, and she's gonna be all bloodied, and stuff.

Anyway, here's the update...

Let me know what you think!
​

 

[JP]

That's creepy/cool.

 

[Mattchew]

Another update...

Some work on the hair, and a bit more line work to the skin.

Let me know what you think.

[Syncos]

I think the scary part, is that I knew it was leela back when it was just a silhouette

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Oh, i can't wait for futurama thing.

 

[Mattchew]

Just a random post... Meant to be like.... A catwoman fan @ a convention.

I did this a million years back, but I found it in a stack of stuff so I decided to scan it.

​

This was done with Crayola colored pencils (eww), and a while back, so I'm not exactly holding this up as an example of great work... but I thought her slight-belly was funny. So I posted it.

 

[JP]

It's kinda depressing.

 

[flavio_lebeau]

haha good one.

Ha! I guess that's a good thing.

Hope you like the final.

kinda what I was going for, if memory serves.

haha good one.

Thanks!

Update one Leela...

Doesn't look like loads has been done, but I had to recreate the entire thing. Lost the file, so I scanned a printout and remade it. ARG!

Anyway, I add some shadows too.

Let me know what you think.
​

 

[Mattchew]

Here was in inspiration for my Leela pic...

Not completely happy with this, but I lost steam when I had to recreate the final from the scan of a printout, after I lost the file.

Anyway, I threw in some blood, and called it a day!

Let me know what you think.

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Ooooh, I like it!

Very good work! You've done it again.

 

[Le Diable Blanc]

Duuude I love the blood. Very cartoonish but realistic at the same time.

Thanks... I basically decided to do that pic, only because I had the intention of covering her with blood. For whatever reason, that made me laugh. Glad you liked it.

 

[Mattchew]

Love your work, i wish i could color like you. Would mind making some tutorial or something?

THANKS

I'm not really sure how I'd post a tutorial, since the way i do thinks is very trial and error. As I do my next few pics, I'll think about how I'd describe it though.. I i figure it out, I might post one.

So Dew k. Mosi started a new thread similar to the monthly contests... except its not at all a contest. It's just a causal thread where there's gonna be a theme (maybe every two weeks or so) and the idea is to take that theme and run with it...

It's called DrawerGeeks, and so far, I'm loving it!

The first theme was Galactus, and I JUST did Galactus in my fanart contest entry, so I was thinking of a fun, less-literal way to do him...

This is what I came up with:

I'd love thoughts! Thanks!

[Deep Thinkin'!]

That's so adorable! I love it.
