Interceptor's House of Bacon --- August 21st UPDATE. Eklispe Duo WIP ---

**redFIVE** · October 29th, 2005, 04:21 AM

Yeah.. I still got nothing to critique. I'm learning more from you than you are from me I'm afraid. I swear I'm gonna figure out how you do such great lines- in sketching are they done in a single stroke or do you build them up?

Also, what kind of inking pens are those in that pic?

**CaptainInsano** · October 29th, 2005, 04:28 AM

cool stuff Interceptor!

I like the intense detail and the thick outlines of your drawings.

I notice you tend to draw your characters with very short humerus bones (the part of the arm that connects the shoulder with the forearm). Is that intentional? Also, in some of your incomplete full-figure drawings, I can see that you usually don't sketch out the entire figure first before laying down details. You draw the head, and work your way down, putting in the details as you go along? I think that's why you seem to run out of room in some of the drawings.

But nonetheless, these are kickass drawings. Very Mucha-ish. Beautiful and sensual drawings.

I like em'!

Keep posting!

Thanks alot you guys. Parker.. I'm going to take your advice on the humerus bone.. and roughing out the whole pic for space more..

And RedFIVE. I'm learning tons from you. I was suprised to see you in out sketchgroup, because you're pro, right? Anyways.. the inking pens.. the middle is the steadlet triplus fineliner.. and top is the steadler mars professional.. on the bottom is just my pentel penci..l.

Hi, interceptor ! Congrats for page two and for the BIG improvement you made by posting this cool drawing ! I love your style, man !

**bengonzalez** · October 30th, 2005, 12:02 PM

Man good job on the CHOW piece. I would love to see it in color when you get some time.

**Interceptor** · October 30th, 2005, 12:46 PM

The actual piece got pretty much destroyed on accident by my sister.. so you won't see color :*(
Thanks alot though. Chow# 2 is a perfect chane to do my manly man pic

/EDIT
Oh. actually, it's small. but you can see what little coloring I had on the head.
Done with marker

Of all your stuff, I really like your lineart. Nice hair, nice details and line variation. I like clean lineart, but I can't decide on what tools to use. Nice of you to include them in the picture.

**Danomight** · October 30th, 2005, 09:17 PM

Holy moly man! The picture looks even better now that you inked it. I really like the implied boot design. You did a great job varying line weight too, now on to Ch.O.W.#2.

**thnikkaman** · November 2nd, 2005, 05:45 PM

dude. i am loving that colouring of the corsair, keep it up, i wanna see that baby finished.

**Interceptor** · November 2nd, 2005, 08:49 PM

CHOW #2n inks. the legs are screwed up

But I don't have time to do it all over

**poise** · November 2nd, 2005, 08:58 PM

these ROCK!!! MAN!!!! I want to see a closer head shot of Jumpers head. And more life drawings you had a few, and they look GREAT! dude you kick ass! I love it!

**Alday.J** · November 2nd, 2005, 08:59 PM

I love the way you ink your lines, beautyfull !

You made great improvement in that area, for sure ! Keep posting the good stuff, Interceptor !
Cheers, man !

**bengonzalez** · November 3rd, 2005, 12:37 AM

The CHOW#2 is looking good. Are you going to color this one. My one comment is that I don't see anything that would be considered the clothing of a merchant. He looks more like a pioneer or woodsman. I'll also agree on the legs they look a bit funky Maybe some folds and creases on his pants would help a lot but since the ink is done I'm not sure if you can still make that kind of a change. Also try to make an uneven ground for him to stand on since the one legs looks a little short

**Interceptor** · November 3rd, 2005, 12:56 AM

Yeah.. fuck I really messed up on this one..

**bengonzalez** · November 3rd, 2005, 01:06 AM

Nah it's not fucked up. You just have a few set backs. It's still workable. Things like a crest or ornamented weapon can show him as being the head of a merchants house. Now finish it I want a file to save for inspiration.

**Interceptor** · November 3rd, 2005, 04:08 PM

start of a new picgot inspired by a song called "Promised Land". The idea I got from it is a very serene, secret garden graveyard.. I want to see how much detail I can put into it..

**Danomight** · November 3rd, 2005, 04:17 PM

I can't wait to see this one finished. You have some great patience my friend, looks good.

**Kittywolf13** · November 3rd, 2005, 07:59 PM

Wow! Wow! this is great! love the bold confident lines in your lineart!! love your touch of color to your sketchs...it gives them energy! also i love the pic of "jumper" where she's crouching over. lovely. though i wonder whats in her hand...she looks like she should be holding a Zippo there.

seriously though, great stuff!

**tensai** · November 3rd, 2005, 08:08 PM

thats quite a big board you got there, nice!
you gonna colour that badboy later on or keep it like that. would love to see how it ends up.

**fatmillenium** · November 4th, 2005, 08:02 PM

hey dude
i really like your drawing style what are you using to draw these pictures?they are awesom!

**theQuill** · November 5th, 2005, 07:36 AM

Very great style!

**poise** · November 5th, 2005, 05:01 PM

poop diddily scoop, you rock the hoop! haha stoopy. lovely work my dear friend.

**Interceptor** · November 5th, 2005, 10:54 PM

Thanks for the crits and comments everyone!!

tensai I want to color it very badly... but for now I'm sticking with the lineart. I'll go back and color all these illustrations later when I feel comfortable with watercolors

**Danomight** · November 7th, 2005, 06:00 PM

Tryin to move away from the ol' lineart eh? You already showed me this, but just comenting anyway. Nice man, Can't wait to see the other 50 characters you have hiding in your story!

**Interceptor** · November 7th, 2005, 06:40 PM

Somewhat. I just want to practicen with shades so I can understand the anatomy better. and make the lineart stronger

**bengonzalez** · November 9th, 2005, 01:18 AM

There's that Gatery kid again

I like the hatching that's been applied but the face looks smudged. try and use an kneeded eraser to get a better tonal range on that smudging.

**Atmo-X** · November 9th, 2005, 01:29 AM

wow.. these are great! lol i Really suck at drawing people...

and i didnt even try to draw anime in my life! but you dont have any problems getting human beings into paper..

i like the first pic..

**vigostar** · November 9th, 2005, 10:14 AM

hey, i just wanted to stop by and see how everything was going.. i really like the first entry of your SB... too bad you didnt color it.... keep up the good work... C U in the Octagon!

**Wertle** · November 10th, 2005, 07:07 AM

Your graveyard pic start looks so clean! Do you always jump straight in like that without an underlying sketch?

**Interceptor** · November 10th, 2005, 07:18 AM

vigostar - I'm actually coloring it, little by little with marker

.
And yes, we will meet in the octagon for a red hot rumble, haha.

Wertle I'm afraid I do just jump right into it. And at the moment I'mstuck, and I have no idea where to go with it.
