AlcopopArt (Necromancer)

[Alcopop]

Hello playground,

I've been frequenting these forums for a few years now and thought It might be cool to post some arts. As I am an arts person and enjoy doing the arts.

I have a large backlog of work on my tumblr (http://inkofthesquid.tumblr.com/) but I thought i'de use this space for only new works.

So here is a thing I just finished!

update 30/6/11: updated first picture added lines for second
update 21/7/11: updated second picture and added third

This was a style experiment mostly, I wanted to see how thick lines reacted to smooth internal shading. does it work?

So yeah, more to come soon! (assuming anyone actually cares)

I cares. And I love the perspective of the knives. I've been trying to draw that pose for a while now, and I could never get the weapon pointed at the screen to look good enough in my eyes.

[Domochevsky]

Looks pretty good actually. The thicker outline works well enough on the body, but is a bit too thick on the chopping knives. :smallsmile:

[leakingpen]

agreed with domo. make the main lines as skinny as the v line for the knife pointed towards the creen, and v lines a bit thinner.

:) It's a fun pose though the perspectives not perfect here, but I guess it's close enough as I can bother to make it.

Hrm, yeah. Thinned the lines on the knives to better match the consistency of the other lines.

Better now?

Also did some line art for the next one. :D

Pretty good with thinner lines now. Makes for a more uniform picture. :smallsmile:

Talking about uniform... your next linework; the face is quite detailed but the rest of the body completely lacks these details. However, i suspect you might be able to reign that back in with the coloring/shading.

Also not really happy with how his gun hand looks. Can't quite place why though. Might be the thumb. :smallconfused:

I'll add detail as I need to, at this point i'm not too worried on that front. The gun however is more of an issue. I meant it to be a sawed off shotgun but I drew the handle on too mush of an angle, making it look like a weird shotgun/pistol bastard child. I'll have to redraw either the gun or then hand/handle I guess.

I just noticed the internal lines of the gun are too thick as well, that would be a good spot to add more detail to better match the level of detail on the face.

You are good. But i think the hands on the last one is quite big, or maybe that is just me?

[Saeyan]

the lines/smooth shading is working quite nicely. Look at the more mainstream American comics to get a feel for how things can go.

you might want to study some folds from life - I can't tell what on earth the hem of the girl's left sleeve is doing.

[Alcopop]

Back, very hectic week followed by a very sick one. Might be doing some freelance iPhone app work artwork which is sorta exciting but we'll see where that goes before I get super happy with myself. These things have a tendency to fall rapidly apart.

I have a bunch of stuff to post in any case, though i'l ration it out a bit. Firstly though,

Thanks :) And oh god those hands are waaay to big. jesus, how did I not even see this. Fixing now.

Whoops, yes, that sleeve is a little silly but I can live with a few minor mistakes. I'll study american comic work and life study folds when I get time, just like i'll study everything else i'm rubbish at with drawing when I get time.


Okay, so I hit a minor update on Mr. Bigshot (see OP), but I don't think i'll really take that any further. I have grown to dislike the direction of the first image and there is now no real reason to go for a second in that style.

More recently however I have created some new things, starting with zombies O_O.

Thoughts?

This latest piece is very cool. The two previous ones were nice looking too but this is my favourite so far. It's just stylish.

[Domochevsky]

Yah, i'm not quite into that style, but the picture is pretty rad. Got nothing specific to say about it. :smallsmile:
