Crit Time...

Grandmass Mr. Spect: Great updates on Cabunny and the Orc fighter! What I like most about them is the pose and the colors on Cabunny, great job mang!!

I know these are still rough, but I agree with hala that more elaborate designs can be pushed to give the character more design elements. Also when you do go into tighter sketches of the Orc with the badarse ax, make sure to get the footing grounded in the right perspective.

Hala: Thanks for the color work up, I really like both of them. I think the middle works well for good and the far right colors would work well for the evil, great job setting those up! Also great to see more fabric over armor being used so we get a bit more variety in the character appearances.

My only suggestion is to work up some poses that you plan on working and also to push design elements.

JailHouseRock2: great sketches Matt! I really digg the overall poses, definitely portrays a thief, great job mang!

I'm not sure if it's a requirement or you plan to include the bottom half of the body, but it'd be nice to see the whole character fleshed out. Haha I also don't understand scissors workings, but I think it would help to ref some scissors or use a pair to get the right positioning and perspective of it in the picture.

Great job everyone, you guys rocking it up! Now go sketch some moarRRRR, muhahhaha!!

an WHERES MY FREAK'N UPDATES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JailHouseRock2]

Some crits:

hala- I think these are so good- http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5...rics01copy.jpg! Great designs, and I'm pleased we've decided to go in the direction!
Out of those three, I think the middle one works best, but I'd say toneing down that orange quite a bit. And although I think these colour fit your character perfectly, I can't really imagine lets say.. a Dwarf waring them. So I'll try and come up with a more earth-y colour scheme for him!


Grandmassa Mr. Spect- Dude you've got so much good work up!! This ones looking awesome! - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1249771569! But maybe try higher boots? Kinda like hala gal.
And this one too!! great stuff! - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1249777866- And maybe play around with different cloths and stuff tho, but loving it!
And the last one... haha. Creepy as heellllll, but surprisingly appropriate Nice job for sticking with the styles!


snooooootchy- Great work man! I love seeing how they progress from simple sketch as well. Dig the jumping green dude, but some more cloths maybe appropriate Nicccce skull idea too, and cool simple bg! Cool armoured dude on the right as well, but again some more layered clothing would help.


Just playing with an evil version of this character, looks to barbarian atm though...

Edit: a quick colour experiment.

[SMILEFACE]

hey about the color i was think'n similar classes or species should have but not limited to similar color schemes yah know what i mean like warriors similar officials sim poor sim so on so more diverse but w/ in a reason same for dress style a poor guy might not dress the same as a rich or even a pig mi or an elemental character that is my group crit just an idea hope i made sense haha i am a noodle! great werks everybody!!!! RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[SMILEFACE]

just some mind funk

DFRHASFDCHADsdfasdgrR4WEWWWF THATS CODE FER GET YER ARSES TO WORK!!!!!

[snootchy]

Granny you had me in tears with that Gimp fella and the nipple tugzz! I really like the rendering u did on that caterpillar character, post it already dood!!!

Matt awesome violence, i'd like to see something like that fleshed out; definitely a gruesome evil alliance type shizz!!

GRRRAAANNNNYYY catapiller man is off the scale awesome man. One of your best I reckon. Who pulls it out when it's needed????? GMR.
Snootchy, Lighting number 2 dude is very very cool. I dont know art terms but the foreshortened leg and the subtle color maakes it special.

[SMILEFACE]

JUST A QUICK IDEA FER THE BACKGROUND I DIDNT DO ANY KIND O PERSPECTIVE JUST WANTED TO JOT THE IDEA DOWN FER TOMMORROW WHOOPS CUT SOME OFF AH WELL

[hala]

thanks jigje for your support! you're awesome and a great friend!




hi guys, i'm happy to see a lot of progress happening!! i finally moved all my shit back into my room as of this afternoon so i should finally be able to work on chow.

working on diedralin's good portrait right now. been fixing up the anatomy 193048u3029 times. so by no means is it worth looking at but here's an update anyway.

and the old evil designs, thanks for your crits guys, i will edit it tomorrow


i will leave crits for you guys tomorrow
other than that i talk to you all on msn

[JailHouseRock2]

Lo0king so goood guys!!!

Sorry in a real hurry now, crits later.

Started on values,
matt

EDIT: Edited pose a bit, any thoughts?

[Ninjerk]

JHR, your drawing there is pretty close to your reference. You may want to try a different pose.

[JailHouseRock2]

Great work all!

Grandmassa Mr. Spect- Dude that caterpillar character is great!!! Awesome colours man! And your gimp & master are coming along as creepily as ever as well! Cool room you've designed too, and the perspectives not that bad at all!

snootchy- Nice characters man, As I said before, lighting 2's great, but I'd love to see more of the character. But This is great as a nice dynamic pose! The 3rd chars looking sweet as well!
But man, these evrio thumbs.. sooooo amazing bro!!!!! Love them all, great moody colours too!

hala- This is looking great to me! You really have a flair for costume design, can't wait to see more!!!!

Ninjerk- Hay cheers mate, good point! I didn't reaslise how close to my reff I was, but its just early sketch, I'm going to change alot. But thanks all the same man!


Lol, Thinking of ways to show ma master thief in the act!

[snootchy]

sorry in a hurry will crit when i get back.

rough environment idea i had in mind for the compilation final, like one side with bad alliance and the good on the other and a big mana spring separating the 2 alliances.

another pose in mind for the good character in a long corridor but not liking cuz it's too closed the pose not revealing enough of the design.

and the third is a rough of the bad character i had in mind, gotta work out a lot of the anatomy but think i'm gonna stick with this pose for final

[hala]

tried a couple more poses, nothing too solid
so i went back to this one
i think i like it
just gotta fix up the shittastic perspective
but matty boy mentioned the mana wells being like shrines
so i played off of that idea and mike's statue idea.

needs a lot of work.



PS: not to be a bitch guys, but I think we've strayed off from the storyline a bit. Please go back to my post with the story that was pulled together from our discussions---if you don't wanna follow along with the theme of good set up evil with a trail--then please post up some suggestions.
while i know you guys are resistant to uniformity because it can be boring, our pieces still need to be cohesive in some way. Just some things to think about because right now we're all doing great work--but it doesn't seem to read as closely related to each other as it should be. (and this includes mine here. i am at fault too!)

It's game time fellas.
The big dogs came out to play--this is reason enough to bust our asses even harder!!!

and sorry for my absence the past few days. things are hectic around here. should be back in full swing this week!


IF YOU GOT TIME TO BREATHE---YOU"RE NOT WORKING HARD ENOUGH! >: D

[hala]

OK GUYS

AFTER OUR INTENSE DISCUSSION


HERE IS OUR COHESIVE FINAL DECISIONS.


WHERE: MEDEVIL FOREST MOUNTAIN LANDS. OUTSIDE THE LORD's CASTLE. SNOWY WINTER.

WHEN: NIGHT TIME FOR EVIL. DUSK FOR GOOD.

STORYLINE: EVIL HAS BROKEN THE DEFENSES. THEY ARE INVADING THE CASTLE WHILE GOOD PICKS OFF THE BAD LEFT OUTSIDE. INTENSE HEAT OF THE FINAL BATTLE.

RACES: UP TO YOU

CLASSES: BASED ON CHESS. please incorporate the following symbols into your designs--while deciding if they are MELEE, MAGIC, MEDICS, BARDS, , etc


BLAKE: KNIGHT

MIKE: ROOK

MATT: BISHOP, KING

LARISSA: QUEEN


PUMP UP THE HEAT. PUMP UP THE VOLUME. PUMP UP THE ROCK AND OWN GUYS.

[JailHouseRock2]

Thanks Larissa!

This is going to be all kinds of awesome.. all over again!!!

First thumb for good king, with fur hood... not sure how I'm going to do a crown yet...

Edit: bit of an update. Any thoughts?
matt

[SMILEFACE]

WAY TO SNOOTCHY 'THANKS HALA 'RAD START JAILHOUSE' wicked werks guys an gal YALL ROCK!
MY GOODNIGHT AS I GOODNIGHT' GUNNA ADD SOME STUFF THEN DO SOME THINGS AN THEN SPRINKLE SOME CRACK ON IT HOPEFULLY IT WERKS OUT

[hala]

Hi matt---i definitely like this so far--the composition is great too. I love the fur hood.
a couple crits

--his face is slight turned, yet his torso is directly facing us, and then his pelvis appears to twist in the direction of the face--so the fluidity of his pose is a little stiff. Not a biggie, but something to think about.
also, i think some more decorative elements (bigger panels of fabric/armor,..etc), things that will make him look bigger---something that gives him a grandeur his constituents won't have--that clearly defines him as royalty. basic structural things. (other decorative stuff i'm assuming you'll add later since this is only in the initial stages).
edit: actually on second look, i think he's fine. keep working on it. (i should not look at stuff when i first wake up. i miss things) xD


spect:
i love it as a piece, is this what you're using for the knight tho? or this just a mock up? if it is your piece then here's some crits:
-her legs are gonna get cold bro--give her some wicked stockings/higher boots or something : )
-the storyline we picked is full of action--i think you could pusht his further--make the dino (LOL) rear up and her ready to charge or something.

other than that i love it

GREAT WORK GUYS!!
AHHH i gotta get back to working on my own
-

[hala]

preliminary work for good queen. (she's still got the tongue, just not drawn in for convenience).

will be thumbing and gesturing now.

edit: i think i'm gonna scratch the tongue idea.

Chipp Kidd---"Never get attached to ideas. they're like whores. there will always be new ones"

[snootchy]

Matt: great idea for the king and love the snowy theme whirlwinding chaotically around him, think the sketch is great just a little be too centered i think

Grandmass Mr. Spect: luv the design of the armor on the dino and main character, keep pushing want to see the rendering on that bad boy

Hala: oooh fantastic design on the dress in the upper left top corner, i really like that one and would look fantastic fleshed out!

sorry for the brief crits, gotta run; not gonna be able to work on this too much today but here's where my bad alliance piece is heading, i got the rook so i decided to put her as a guard in the tower, i plan on cooling the piece down a lot and adding some snowy wintery elements to the background, the setting is dusk, and the character i'm working mainly in greyscale on the form right now, i just added a quick color overlay and popped some highlights just to see what it would look like; i'll get to clothing and armor as soon as i get back!

i gave you my thoughts already this morning mike haha so no crits for now : )



just did some thumbs for the queen. I'm not really sure which one, i like all of them except the bottom left.

D: which one is more appropriate for CHOW?????

also, she is no longer soothsayer w/ tongue thing.
just not working out too well.
so she is a mage instead.

[SMILEFACE]

killer king jail house wicked queen hala hot demon snootch

this is my basic design fer the evil im gunna take these two to the end if i have more time ill try more dynamic poses as fer now i tried to emulate the pose of a night piece

[hala]

hahahah the dino got spikes!!! keep at it spect!
and gimme some of that magic crack to sprinkle.



hmmmmmmmmmm
so i tried making a comp out of one of the thumbs that i thot was best...but it just doesn't seem to be capturing the movment of the thumb
and she looks oh-so-apathetic :/

i will prolly half flesh out all the thumbs just to see what truly works best

edit: on second look i think it's the fact that the perspective is lame as hell. wanted it to be more looking up at her and her dress swooping into yer face. maybe i will try it again later.
