DSG 924: Sci-Fi Character: WOMAN IN EXTRAVAGANT, WEATHERED, FULL-BODY BATTLE ARMOUR

**William b. Hand** · November 8th, 2005, 05:27 AM

[ Her face might be visible because her protective visor is up, or her helmet is at her side, or whatever... ]

[ ...But we won't see her navel, cleavage, or bare legs... That's just silly. ]

[ No particular background is necessary, but don't just leave it white, either. ]

[ You may include some sort of weapon, of course. ]

[ She may be jovial or grim, elderly or youthful, attractive or not... it's up to you. ]

painter, I'd give at an hour, maybe more

Looks nice, I don't know if you're trying sketching the lines and then painting. If so, some of the lines can be kept in the painting. Maybe you could add some details to the chest and stomach area.

nice work hamsta and machzero.

machzero if i'd have to crit one thing, the gun looks kinda phallic, i don't know if you intended this or not, but that how i read it [/freudian] otherwise good concept, i'd like to see it refined more.

rather quick, ps all the way. didn'thave time to colour the char

meh I just realized this was sposed to be scifi oriented body armor. I am so fired

I got caught up on the no navel, no cleavage no flesh thing I completely missed it

**Will Chill** · November 8th, 2005, 03:50 PM

machzero: thats nice looking, but at first I thought the gun was comming out of her pelvis.

**Miss Wiggle** · November 8th, 2005, 05:02 PM

Mines a bit on the retarded side, lol. I got carried away.

**xenos** · November 8th, 2005, 05:16 PM

YAY! Finally here's an easy topic

..i mean, everytime i feel like drawing in here, the topic is way too difficult for me (and im too ashamed to post the results, hehhee

)
photoshop, 2 mayby 3 hours (wasent paying attention to the time

)

Miss Wiggle - heh, cool

**Razorb** · November 8th, 2005, 05:23 PM

**PGC** · November 8th, 2005, 06:44 PM

Owke.. so it is not extravagant, nor battle-worn ... kinda forgot about those points ^_^;

(looks a bit plain...

I'll never get the hang of colors I guess

)

**Phaethon** · November 8th, 2005, 08:25 PM

So if by "extravagent" you mean "ridiculous" and by "we won't see her navel, cleavage, or bare legs" you mean "all people look the same sex in space battle armor, so its never a good idea to hit on someone who has his/her visor down" then here you go!

My scanner is doing me no favors, as you can see.

**realitysux** · November 8th, 2005, 09:39 PM

was tempted to go with future robot armor, but I always do that kind of stuff so i decided to go with something a lil' more old school!

**Hunger_Artist** · November 8th, 2005, 10:27 PM

xenos- nice!

some old friends..

**bobthedinosaur** · November 8th, 2005, 10:41 PM

**aico003** · November 8th, 2005, 11:59 PM

Ack, missed yesterday due to aggressive quantites of drafting and today I sorta ran out of time.. for.. some reason. Honestly I don't even remember anymore. Well in any case, here's a roughpage [linkified]. Tomorrow! Tomorrow I shall participate again.. or something.
Really awesome works all about people, nice nice.

**CSOLDIER7** · November 9th, 2005, 02:35 AM

Here's mine...

This is a few hours of work. Pencil, pen, and photoshop.

Xenos-Great contrast and composition. The grayscale choice is working excellent for your piece.

bobthedinosaur-This has a very Animecinematic feel to it...I actually like the concept of the image.

machzero-Very nice...what I've always come to expect from viewing your work. Highly illustrative (In a traditional sense).

jubilee-Very graphic...like a piece of good graphic artwork. I'm liking the color contrast between your various tones. You could even continue to add to it, if you wanted to.

later...

**xenos** · November 9th, 2005, 03:44 AM

Phaethon - if you have photoshop, you can get rid of that grey area in the left with the "dodge brush"
CSOLDIER - kool design, looks like something out of heavymetal. i like it, but i wish you had worked on the shadows some more

Hunger_Artist - love youre style

i have to steal it!!!!! hahaaa!

**CSOLDIER7** · November 9th, 2005, 04:09 AM

Thanks for the comment Xenos

Hey, I can always go back in and bring down the values a bit more.

later...

**William b. Hand** · November 9th, 2005, 04:57 AM

I'm rusty.

Good responses today, guys!

**Hideyoshi** · November 9th, 2005, 09:24 AM

crap...
I was like never being satisfied with any of my character drawings.

great, Machzero, Hamsta, Hand, Xenos, everyone!

**-db-** · November 9th, 2005, 12:04 PM

Hideyoshi - Not CRAP!! not the best you've done but absolutly not crap..You are one of the best artist in here SO DONT call your things crappy .. (Just my sentence)

I wish you all good luck!

**bobthedinosaur** · November 9th, 2005, 01:01 PM

csoldier--thanks! i wasnt pushing towards any style in particular, i guess that i just did the linework differently than usual--course i usually go more painterly with no lines... so...

lol, thanks for the compliment

**Razorb** · November 9th, 2005, 02:25 PM

great work everyone!

and hideyoshi urs is vv nice ;x

**xenos** · November 9th, 2005, 03:25 PM

b. Hand - wow

the armour is just gorgeous! ...the face on the other hand

(you really are rusty!)
Hideyoshi - i would love if my crap was that good!

kool design (i can't think of anything bad about it exept, that her left knee is a bit off, i think..
but what i really want to know is how you made it look like it was made with markers?? (..that is, if you did it on a computer

)

**Hamsta** · November 9th, 2005, 03:32 PM

bRØk3n_sPiRiT Noted
Inkfish A rather ghastly expression. Your lightsource isn't very clear, is it directly above? The head seems to suggest the light comes from infront and above, but the shoulder pad is only lighted on top.
The chest bothers me, as it is somewhat unfaminine, and the gun is rather dull in design.
Hideyoshi Somewhat boyish in figure, could be interesting take considering ninja training. The bright highlights are too similar to the background, and cause confusion, making it look like her hand is cut off and she has half thighs, you should make the border a little more pronounced. The sword just boggles my mind, is it towards us, away from us, or just wonky in design?

**Phaethon** · November 9th, 2005, 03:38 PM

Xenos: Thanks for the tip! Knew that tool had to be good for something... Nice sketch, btw. I was going to do something remarkably similar- but probably not nearly as well-executed. Then I didn't!

**Hideyoshi** · November 9th, 2005, 04:10 PM

Denntanos: haha, thanks, I was expecting a reply like that...but it's just my personal opinion. I am really not pleased with my chara designs...
xenos: thx! looks like marker...? hm..maybe that's subconscious because I started with marker renders when I first got into concept design...just added a noise filter to a very simple shading, that's why it looks marker like I think.
Hamsta: thanks for the crit. my female charas tend to lok byish all the time, sue me! Sword design IS wonky :-) it's supposed to be viewed perfectly from the side, the blade is rectangular looking :-P
I have a fable for harsh white highlighting and even the fading into the white backround like that was kinda intended. :-D
