All I'm askin' for is a little bit of gender equality when it comes to generic action game characters.

**Liz Edwards** · August 13th, 2012, 07:48 PM

Here's a bunch of new stuff! Comic pages unrelated.

**Liz Edwards** · August 15th, 2012, 08:34 PM

I'm going through a black and white phase, apparently!

Nice style! I like that comic book page with a guy standing next to a chair - interesting perspective

Check out the Steg! ZBrush dude is looking solid too, look forward to seeing the whole folio.

**Sushy** · December 20th, 2012, 01:26 PM

Impressive black and white lines! that linework is getting better and better.

The 3D looks good to me as well, but I know nothing about 3D ^^;

**thegrayslayer** · December 21st, 2012, 02:02 PM

Agreed with all; lovely work. Tap me with that reel, please?

I like the astronauts drawing in #131. Those armor designs from #123 (with the helmet) are great as well, they remind me of a rhinoceros, haha.
Also, I'm a total noob at painting, and I was wondering how you got the smooth skin look with the mohawk girl and your self-portrait (both of which are great). I can't tell if there's a lot of values/colors blended together, or if you just used a couple colors/values with a really smooth blend. I think with my own painting, I make things too complicated and that's why they don't look as good.

I use a brush - anything with a hardish edge - with the opacity set to pen pressure. Things get blended together as I stroke over an area multiple times and use the eyedropper tool to pick up the half blended colour and painting with that too.

Designing jewellery for our family jewellers.. don't really know what I'm doing! I don't know why they are letting me do this unsupervised, they are going to get nothing but 3d prints of weird sea creatures.
