Nightcrawler SP

**Scratched Glass** · July 21st, 2003, 01:13 AM

hey all, been awhile since I posted but ive found new inspiration once again so my fingers should be moving. I did this picture tonight. Roughly 3 hours and took photo reference as far as where light hits on my face and a few places on the body. Um. i kinda liked the muted blue background and such. um and crits are welcome as I'll def edit it. Some stuff had to be made up such as the feet and hands. um. But yeah. soo its nightcrawler with my head on him! Kind of inspired by a sweet dream i had recently. so thakns for looking and any cc welcome.

it's pictures like that that make me feel ashamed to be alive and an artist. that blows my mind. nightcrawler has always been my favorite character. now i like him even more. keep it up.

**nardfrog** · July 21st, 2003, 02:23 AM

Looks pretty cool, i recommend making the peak highlights stronger though. Also his eyes are a little too close together.

**Scratched Glass** · July 21st, 2003, 02:32 AM

thanks. i agree. eyes do look a little close. thanks =)

He appears kinda like he is floating, maybe you could add a bit of dimension to whatever he is sitting on?

**Scratched Glass** · July 21st, 2003, 03:50 AM

ok all thanks for the feedback have tried a few changes. i kind of blocked in new feet and a pole of some sort since nightcrawler usually wraps his toes around something to grasp it. i think it helps the composition a bit too. let me know. thanks all. the crits are great so far. ill probably add some highlights to the feet later.. just blocked them in to get the idea. this piece should probably get moved to the work in progress thread. oops!

i'm assuming this was done in painter. what brushes did you use?

**Scratched Glass** · July 21st, 2003, 03:24 PM

was in painter 7 just using the opaque flat.

Awesome work! Gotta love nightcrawler cuz he owns. and i love the lighting in this pic - very realistic

danielh68 · July 21st, 2003, 03:45 PM

Great work.

**Swedish Chef** · July 21st, 2003, 04:18 PM

Love it, Dave! What about making the eyes a little brighter? You know, like a sharp yellow. Just a thought. Good work!

**J.Peckham** · July 21st, 2003, 05:09 PM

I LOVE IT! i friggin love nightcrawler! and i think you have this balance between realism and not-so realism. the important thing i see, is he looks real young, wasn't nightcrawler like 14?i would love to see a tiny specular highight on his (our left) eye. for drama. maybe a little more on his right shoulder/tunic thing. again, sweet job!

**Scratched Glass** · July 21st, 2003, 05:24 PM

**jmascho** · July 22nd, 2003, 12:23 AM

Simplicity works well. I like the way you presented it, it definitely feels like Nightcrawler. Nice job man...

**dajovion** · July 22nd, 2003, 12:30 AM

Yeah, it looks much better with the pole thing. Adds a nice movement to it and makes his tail come alive more. Very nice.

**Zeravla** · July 23rd, 2003, 03:41 AM

funny thing is, it looks like you dave(Scratched Glass), nice work!

**Scratched Glass** · July 23rd, 2003, 12:30 PM

its supposed to look like me. i shot my own head for reference. its my nightcrawler SP. =P

**Scratched Glass** · July 23rd, 2003, 06:17 PM

2nd in series. Did my friend as oldschool beast. posted on the work in progress section but didnt get alot of crits. um i liked how it was going but it doesnt seem done. im not "satisfied" with it. colors lack. um took reference shot of my friends face for the expression and based his stance of an old figure of mine. changed it a little though. cc is welcome as id like to upgrade this... what character shall be next >.<

**thomasaurus** · July 23rd, 2003, 06:38 PM

**bamboogod** · July 23rd, 2003, 09:26 PM

**Jushra** · July 23rd, 2003, 09:35 PM

definately cool, beast has always been cool. i agree with the above guy, the left hand should be seen

**Scratched Glass** · July 23rd, 2003, 09:46 PM

thanks jnorish and jhrala, maybe i can work something out in the composition where i can get his left arm in there. thanks!

**ShawnYe** · July 23rd, 2003, 10:53 PM

I like the composition as it is now. I really dig the tone you gave the hand, nice.

**Swedish Chef** · July 23rd, 2003, 11:02 PM

You're going to do me as Archangel next, right? =)

**Scratched Glass** · July 23rd, 2003, 11:05 PM
