update of the spider mech, this time w/ 4 legs, (maybe 2 more in the back, I don't know their functions yet)

**Omi-kun** · July 25th, 2006, 08:42 PM

yes 2 pages! just no replies..

**J.Peckham** · July 25th, 2006, 08:57 PM

Really cool Mecha! next time you draw feet, stick a pair of boots on the floor for a ref.
PS--i like the hopper-bot.

**take²** · July 26th, 2006, 05:59 AM

don`t be too fixed on replys or are your awnsering in everey threat, even it`s outstanding artwork in it?

easy going, it comes fom alone.

btt.. i like the cleaness of your girl portraits (beautifull proportions) und the robs. is the tank done in a 3d prog?

i`ll come back

ciao

**Omi-kun** · July 26th, 2006, 06:17 PM

yeah I never even try to promote my self... I should probably be a little bit more social and post around these other awesome sketchthreads here, but... I'm too lazy =P

you know the line art they give to kids in restaruants for them to color w/ crayons? I took them away from my baby nephew and sketched on the back:

a page of my history notes... there's even less reason to take notes after getting a 99 on a test I didn't study for...

OC sketch, someone want to OC with me!?!

ok ima going to work on the spider drone now

**Omi-kun** · July 26th, 2006, 06:18 PM

hey thanks J. Peckham, I'll work on the boots then..

take2 yeah I'll be more mindful of my art instead of replies.... what did you mean by "und the robs"? And yeah I used 3ds max for a rough of the tank

**nathonicus** · July 26th, 2006, 06:28 PM

Hey, great work! Nice sketchbook and lots of entries. Thanks for stopping by my lunchbreak book. Any interest in forming a sketchbook group like some of these other folks round here?

**Omi-kun** · July 27th, 2006, 12:07 PM

absolutely, how do we do that? I'll add your sketchbook in my sig

a slight update, unfortunately I can't export from OC to PS... How do you detail!?!? I think I have to nix the the opacity setting for the details, any suggestions?

**nathonicus** · July 27th, 2006, 05:06 PM

Sweet! I'll add you to my sig... A new group forms.

I really like your stuff, but where did you get your art training from if your not an art student? I went to art school, but it was mostly theory and photo, not enough drawing and painting. I'm trying to use these forums as a sort of "art school" since I'm working now and can't go back.

It looks to me like you're doing a little bit of the same thing?

BTW... love the girl with the white hair.

**Jackwhat** · July 27th, 2006, 05:34 PM

O Hio Omi-chan?

Oh man Ouren host club is awesome. Nevermind that though.

Your last few dumps are great but you already know im your fan... so liek even if i aint replying to everything im always watching in some sort of weird voyuer perverted way. It can be a bit of a bummer to not get replies but, ive changed my opinion on that lately. Im improving myself for myself and by the time i get good if my sketchbook is mainly art and not random bumps of "nice stuff." it'll hopefully be a nice bit of sex for the viewers eyes (haha yea...)

Less about me more about you!

This is going to be so fucking erratic youll have to try stay with me, exporting from oC > Photoshop? - save it as a bmp, save as or savecopy as... that seems pretty quality lossless to me, its what i do anyway then i just bump up the dpi or whatever and chip at it in Photoshop. Those mech designs are cool, particularly that half circle thing, ive not seen that before. The second one youre doing is starting to look like Koros work, know of koro? If not then check these out, its his old stuff but i really like it and you may do too, view at your discression though because theirs plenty of perverted shit in that thread, and it aint skat either so dont worry.

So your girlies, your quality seems to fluctuate, im going to be blunt.

^ sucky face, looks awkward and aint up to your standard.

http://gallery.plasmahawk.com/albums.../sketch065.jpg

^ Those 2? I would, in a flash! I like how youve drawn their eyes in particular... wow.. in good with specifics

The way you give your ladies curves is cool... although that sketchbook page is pushing it a little bit, I checked out rebeccak's stuff lately and that hole shebang on bodies curves are only? convex and they dont concave... im trying to keep to that for a while for practice perposes. I can understand yours is stylistic but having a shin do that is pushing it

the curvy torsos though. Although the abdomen area (?) Seems a bit long... not to sure though cuz im piss poor at that.

One last thing, for your faces... im guessing opencanvas anddd in this :

http://gallery.plasmahawk.com/albums...0001/sp170.jpg

Are you using the watercolor and just using white? building it up like that? :o

Seems cool but you could always trying getting x/y/z values and then blocking them in as opposed to just working to white. Entirely up to you though, dont see any reason not to work your way

Fuck me sideways this is a sketchbook takeover... oh and do you have msn? Seems like the easiest way to contact someone if you ever wanna oC, cuz that would rock... hard!

**Omi-kun** · July 27th, 2006, 07:22 PM

nathonicus: I'm self taught. I've been lurking around CA, sijun, and cgtalk for the longest time (stopped for an even longer time). I don't know how much everyone else has, but I had to burn a couple of dvds to backup all the great works of art I've saved over the years.

JackWhat: thanks for the links! I loved Koro, that crazy ass guy. Didn't know he was Japanese though, figured it'd be french (I thought of Bengal

Anyway I was disappointed I couldn't export into PSD so I can retain the layers. Anyway, I'll get around to that spider bot eventually, unless I forget...
my quality varies a lot, it's because I'm in a state of transition between really sucky and not so sucky (it depends on my mood and patience), that and I sometimes post warmups or doodles I really should not. There're a lot of really bad drawings I never scan in =P

where did you read about the convex curves?? I couldn't find the thread I was thinking, the anatomy challenge 2? The head challenge ended, but I can't find the next one.

as for the face you asked, it was in PS, and yes I worked off of white for a good portion of it to make it super bright... it didn't have the effect I was after...

and yes I do have msn (it's in my profile now) we should OC if that's possible (I can't seem to ever connect to anyone)

edit> oh right the pic: this is another one I doodled in class

**Blue** · July 27th, 2006, 07:34 PM

I dig this stuff. awesome sketches.

**Jackwhat** · July 27th, 2006, 08:55 PM

Opposing curves, link should work... if not find a post by rebeccak, its in her signature.

http://features.cgsociety.org/story_...?story_id=3346

Added you to MSN, but youll probably notice that.

**take²** · July 28th, 2006, 03:26 AM

great action in the pose of your last lady post. looking very dynamic and sexy. does a man need more?

rock on

**nathonicus** · July 28th, 2006, 12:30 PM

Omi-Kun-- Can you pm or post the code you used to add the sketchbook links to your thread? I'm html retarded.

**Omi-kun** · July 28th, 2006, 05:22 PM

thanks blue

JackWhat: I wish I was smart, cause I'm not seeing how that article helps? It's so vague it seems useless. But she's really talented...

take2: uh, how about more boobies?

nathonicus: look for a link/chain icon above the text field, you highlight what you want as the link, andthen click it, paste the url link in and you're done. Alternatively, you can use [u r l =http://yourlink.com/whatever.php?=this]Nathonicus[/ u r l] as a template just leave the spaces out between url

this month's dump from my naughty (but rarely used) sketchbook:

and YES I love Ouran's Host Club, it rocks!! Can't wait for the next episode to come out.....

**Omi-kun** · July 28th, 2006, 08:18 PM

more warm ups. I spend so much time warming up, I usually go to sleep afterwards.

wpe in OC, about 90min, each were around 15min, give or take 5

**Jackwhat** · July 28th, 2006, 09:18 PM

Haha.

and YES I love Ouran's Host Club, it rocks!! Can't wait for the next episode to come out.....

That comment seemed rather out of the blue but im so with you on that... started watching it the other day and its really funny.

This girly dump is really hawt, what more can i say? I might go in search of hot naked girlies now.

Do you use msn much btw? saves me spamming the thread quiet so much

**Omi-kun** · July 29th, 2006, 03:12 PM

This girly dump is really hawt, what more can i say? I might go in search of hot naked girlies now.

haha might? It's a daily routine for me

some guy in class asked me if I drew cars, well, I don't. This got me to start thinking about drawing cars.. hmmm it's harder than I thought (the one w/ chinese characters says "bun car")

**Omi-kun** · July 30th, 2006, 02:10 AM

ok back on track: girls and mechs,

**bhanu** · July 30th, 2006, 05:11 AM

Long time no see Bro,
You seem to ahve a knack for the female form.
Loving it amn.Really good to see you get better post by post .But try to update man.
Take care and

**sabe2003** · July 30th, 2006, 05:30 AM

Nice atmosphere in your paintings.

**M.Aberg** · July 30th, 2006, 06:08 AM

Great stuff. You have skills. I really like your vehicle designs.

**machzero** · July 30th, 2006, 08:39 AM

hey Omi-kun,

good stuff! keep at it.... i did my own stint in general engineering before switching to a full EE and completing it. Only started going back into drawing seriously the last two years or so. But it can be done! heh.

**Bartovan** · July 30th, 2006, 08:55 AM

Hello Omi-kun

Nice designs you have here. You seem to be constructing a world of your own - and i'd like to see some more of it.
When drawing faces your weekest poit seems to be the placement of the eyes. Maybe you should keep better track of the center line as a guide?

**Omi-kun** · July 30th, 2006, 12:19 PM

thanks guys

bartovan: could you elaborate more about the face? I really like you feedback and I'd like to hear more about it.

**Omi-kun** · July 31st, 2006, 06:13 PM

Hacker concept for the wa-mod.com

**Jackwhat** · July 31st, 2006, 08:57 PM

Didnt realise you worked on a mod, i cheekily applied for something, for what its worth. Although i feel like im going a bit out of my depth. (got there after following the link from this thread, seems like youve already got some skill amongst the team, you included. How come youre not down on the Teammembers, or are you?)

**Omi-kun** · July 31st, 2006, 11:15 PM

haha I just joined the team two days ago. Apparently Gabriel liked what he saw on this thread and recruited me. Figured it's about time I put in some serious effort into a mod (after crapping out on 2 or 3 in the past, lol)
