I'd say the same to everyone else who posts art on this thread, including you.

I rather enjoyed Executive Bread, but if you're going to be a little bitch about how someone is better than you, I'd rather not help you build your ego back up to its former, bloated state.

That dog makes me hot, Silv. Also, just out of curiosity, what program do you model with?

Post by **G.Silver** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 12:46 pm

I use 3DStudio Max.

I borrowed it.

It's really good. ;__;

There should seriously be a videogame for it, maybe even as a secret Nintendog.

Sorry to fucking bump, but here's another piece, a bit old though...

Enter: The Disco Pimpbot

Sorry to bump? This thread has been revived countless times now. Cool pimpbot, by the way, but I think his fro should be BIGGER!

Quite a few now.
Here's some of my favorites.

I worked on another piece, here goes...

Not my best work by far but I guess the idea works well.

Post by **G.Silver** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:44 am

I really like the expressions you (WW) put on the characters, you've really got that down. I think your gallery needs more color though. :)

Omni Hunter · Post by **Omni Hunter** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:48 am

Thanks Silv, I'll take the advice on board. Good to see you're still coming up with these dinosaurs too. This new one has a nice thong too.

He umm, wasn't talking to you.

I'd like to leave the post as just that but under the new REGIME I guess I better add more so I'll randomly state I really like G. Silver's colouring style and that Omni Hunter's pictures would be consideribly better in most cases if they didn't have such ghastly awful backgrounds (especially your lens flare fest a bit above, but that's "old" so I'll let it pass). The Robotnik pic is better than most of the rest for this but the shadow looks terrible against the backdrop and would've been better as an opaque block of colour, or well, not there at all.

Rargh.

WW · Post by WW » Tue Mar 28, 2006 12:09 pm

Thanks for the kind words.
Aye, my gallery is a bit balnd, but I hate coloring my picks, so yeah. Anyone can feel free to color them though, just link back to me when you do.

Arf!? I guess so, I need to get out of the habit. I admit the lens flare was a mistake too. I'll stick with normal and white background stuff in future.
Thanks anyway James.

Besides, looking back at the pictures I do that are actually good, they all have plain backgrounds.

Edit:
I guess this is a definite improvement, I'll stick to it.

Awkward! XD

I notice you inverted the lighting/shadow on your backgroundless Eggman, I think it worked better before. But I think it would be better for you to come up with backgrounds that look good as opposed to dropping them altogether, in the case of SkaBotnik here it's very clearly a full, space-hogging image, it has a certain stylishness and completeness to it. Without the background it's just another lame character drawing like I do. Getting in those background elements can make it a lot more interesting (your Afro Robot could use better ones for sure), but SkaBotnik is just overpowered by it.

James is definitly right about the shadow though, it looks out of place.

Omni Hunter · Post by **Omni Hunter** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:34 pm

Yeah, no biggie dude, I know I need to improve and I need feedback to improve.
But lame character drawings? Please, don't put your work down, I love your style.
I think I could do with a better scanner too so I can scan with a better DPI, that way the lines should be clearer.

Post by **G.Silver** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 1:44 pm

What DPI are you scanning at now? I find I get clearer lines based on what the original drawing looked like and what sort of post-processing I do on it after the scan (like <a href="http://www.rothware.com/rvr67michael/im ... .gif">this one</a>). It seems like any DPI adjustments I make just effect the size of the image and never really improve the line quality so much. Though I do typically scan at 200-300 dpi which I suppose is as high as anything really needs to be? Does anyone know anything about this?

So did we all give up in the face of all those new rules? I hate doing two posts in a row!

I've long been envious of Gwilym's connection to musical events in his art (as if that kind of "purposeful" art is a more valuable thing), so I'm finally getting in on the action. This is a design for CWU's swing dance club's t-shirt this year. (Though I don't know for sure if they'll be using it..)

Nah, I just got nothing good to show.

Oh, and nice pic. Love the black and red coloring and the movement of the dancers. I'd kill for the hat that dude's wearing. Tis' nice.

The same place he shows up in Heroes.

He's DEAD! I still think it is sad that they left him out, but used Cream and all those other fags. The Sonic universe has way to many characters now.

Tsuyoshi-kun · Post by **Tsuyoshi-kun** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 7:41 am

I honestly think they should have stopped with Big. Big is actually kind of cool, but at the time of Sonic Adventure's release, everyone commented how retarded of a character he is. Ha. Compared to Cream, Shadow, Blaze, and those birds from Sonic Riders, Big looks absolutely awesome.
