nice topic im in

**BurntUmber** · August 15th, 2007, 11:10 AM

Can I ask a question. My tablet is currently dead and as such I'm only able to draw using traditional media. If I submit a well rendered pencil piece will it be thrown out because of quality issues?

**JAG.** · August 15th, 2007, 12:08 PM

bullets 6 and 7 in the main contest rules image states that pencil is just dandy

now quit stalling and get to work.. - JAG

**gtgauvin** · August 15th, 2007, 12:47 PM

Too juicy a topic not to take up. I've got an international move next week to prepare for, though, so no promises about quality.

**Oblio** · August 15th, 2007, 01:24 PM

I'm in!

I put the FINAL in the FINAL Thread!

**Supervlieg** · August 15th, 2007, 05:36 PM

Im in, aaaand wip:

**Red Mimic** · August 15th, 2007, 06:44 PM

Oblio, your colours are great and insane. I like where it's heading and feel it just needs some tweaking to get you to look at the character more. That green cloud is just as vibrant as his face and is competing for attention. I think the right side grabs too much away from both the character and those fun silhouettes you made behind him.

Has a urban graffiti feel to it and looks like you had a lot of fun with it. Keep it up.

**ChenZan** · August 15th, 2007, 09:14 PM

Sure why not, haven't done this in ages.

**invinciblewombat** · August 15th, 2007, 09:45 PM

pulling out, the more i work on it the worse this thing gets

**ACRO** · August 15th, 2007, 10:09 PM

CONCERNING THE FINAL THREAD

zynic - GREAT START BUT AS A FINAL?????? WITHOUT A BACKGROUND I DONT THINK YOU WILL WIN THIS COMPETIITION!! period!!!!: ps: cool helmet design!
---------------------------------

I CRITIQUE CUZ ITS APPRECIATED NAHMEAN?

oblio - sick dreadi; cant wait to see the clean render... your characters relaxed huh? ps: your pics perspective really stands out....

Supervlieg - cool man i also think background is important in your piece like zynic that posted in the final thread allready... i really like his uniform so far as a medic... ps i noticed everyone has a mask

invisiblewombat - your medic reminds me of what i started with; the medic actually helping someone in the warzone.. cool start and i cant wait to seeyour next few wip shots ps: your piece has the most action going on compared to the rest, posted so far....

critiquin others work because ima place holder!
WIP coming TOMORROW! pz

Pencil renderings are acceptable, as long as they're finished.

I've seen some great purely pencil entries in the past. I recall one in particular from Mr Visions...

i may be wrong but, but biomechanical to me says the borg or basicly any creation that needs both living tissue and some sort of mechanical structure in order to survive or opperate.

**ikuru** · August 16th, 2007, 06:28 AM

PLZ can someone clarify "bio Mechanical". What are we looking for in concept? Is it ading some robot parts to the person? I looked it up in wikepedia and the defenitions are way to fluid?

(I'd hate to spend some ten hours on this only to hear its not bio Mechanical enough sort of thin after I finnished it.)

**grenogs** · August 16th, 2007, 06:53 AM

migsta i realy like that image, but that claw scares me, if it was a choice betwen him medicly treating me or me treating myself, i think id choose myself.

**Meon** · August 16th, 2007, 07:24 AM

The title Says:
CHOW#84 Guest Host:bumskee Topic: Chemical Warfare Field Medic

and it says Bio Mechanical inside the thread.

hmmm, This got me a little confused.

**Alex Alexandrov** · August 16th, 2007, 08:06 AM

nice works guys

ok mine for now

**Oblio** · August 16th, 2007, 11:37 AM

update - still WIP.

thx for the crit guys. still in need for some.
damn - cleaning this mess is hard.

**corspufo** · August 16th, 2007, 11:53 AM

I had taken bio-mechanical to be a very BROAD subject. Technically, a pace-maker would be defined as bio-mechanical. So I would take the subtle approach as opposed to the overly cyborgish path. But that's just me.

Whiteee: I can't wait to see what it looks like finished.

Super: awesome stuff as always. I'm going to have to rethink my head, I had been thinking something along the same lines as yours.

Migsta: cool painting, but the colors and feel of the character remind me too much of Master Chief in Halo.

Wombat: Digging your design, cool looking stuff. I also like that he's interacting with a victim.

Oblio: You've got a great painting style, very artsy and pretty. Though my biggest crit is that he looks more at place at a New Years Eve party with his champange loaded gun.

thanx for the feedback dude. I am making some mechanical details only to the over al aearence, hope that will be sort of right.

**Vorace** · August 16th, 2007, 03:22 PM

Here's mine, I worked on it a little bit during lunchtime.

My fav is Whiteeeeee's !

EDIT : aaah absolutly no time to finish it

Wow Whiteeee, that's great! I like a lot your style.

**daestwen** · August 16th, 2007, 03:40 PM

It's just a sketch (and not in the final pose), but critique is greatly, greatly appreciated.

You can see all my notes on what each part of his gear is supposed to do. His weapon isn't there yet, I think I'll design it separately since I'll be doing another image anyway.
