Briefs-There's nudity in here!

[Qitsune]

Hey arttorney! I see you've kept busy with POW. The marine painting is very very good and I see you have made good improvement on the line work too. However, some of your characters look like you have drawn a shirt or pants and then tried to fit a head on top (eg. man with spyglass.) Try drawing the construction lines before putting some clothes on them.

[arttorney]

It's got to do with the heads all right. I historically have problems matching the head size to the rest of the body. Currently, while I'm building up contours from my stick figures I tend to make the bodies kind of big. Then I turn around and try to adjust the heads to match the body I made and the figure ends up about 5 or 6 heads tall and weird looking. I am doing the POWs because you simply can't hide out from figures in there. I won't get better by ignoring the problem.

Here's an update on the book cover and Assignment 9 for Yoitisi's island.

When all five are done I will photograph them together since the CHOW rules are ambiguous about one image/one submission. Besides, that way my margins will show properly.

You know, you´re really inspiration with the sheer amount of work you put into your stuff. allways one more, one more, one more.

Great going.

[arttorney]

Thank you. I decided quantity was what I had to work with for DEEP because of how many people can out eyecandy me. If I get to where I have consistent quality at this level of output I will "start to believe." Currently I think my Marine Biologist, at least, is a bit weak. Also, until I get a professional scanner with a nice big bed I will lose a lot of detail through the camera, giving the digital guys a posting advantage. C'est la guerre.

Also: big thanks go out to kelly_x for giving me my first ever vote in a CHOW. It means a lot. Same goes for Wasker for my first ever vote in a COW.

In case anybody cares about statistics, the deep work presented was made in 19 days at an average of 3 or 4 hours a day. (I guess about 57 to 76 hours of work or 6 to 8 hard studio days) I also have some anecdotes I can share (if an admin cares) about when and how the system got a little skittery about all that loading in POW. Not posting that kind of stuff publicly in case somebody can put it to a diabolical evil use.

Here is some line practice to unwind last night:

a new drawing at last.


For all the people who comment on my deep material in the other forums, thanks a lot. I am paying attention and I knew the prize for me in deep would most likely come in the form of a few comments in the threads. The comments are helping me to figure out what I got that is usable and what I should not be doing.

Notwithstanding the statements about "lots of information/sketches rather than finished eyecandy" the voters always go for the eyecandy. The beautiful thing, I suppose, is to see those people who produced lots and lots of lots of eyecandy that was replete with ideas. It can be done.

nice inking on that last one. ;D the curved lines on the top are very flowy and smooth. i can never do that without making the lines wobble and touch...or the ink BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PAGE ;LAKJDSHFAS

keep doing what you're doing. it works.

[arttorney]

Thank you. It's probably from the line drawing exercises I learned in Yoitisi's Island.
