Concept Art Comments

[Terriator]

I can't be bothered to comment on all submitted art, so if you want some comments on your art, request it here, then other users can help you out. Meaning from now on; keep the comments out of the contribution thread!

[SDugas3]

okay so now on we comment here and the other thread is to posting art only, right? It is water and now comes the hard part because i never coloured before, help? hehe. oh and 1st. hehehe

[Bardock]

Spoiler!

For the coloring ^_^

[SDugas3]

thank you. hehe. but what i really meant was that you could give me advice after i have done it though that tutorial is good and simple. im colouring right now but it's not as good as that one. hehehe.

Colored one on the other thread. comment at will

[Bardock]

Seems like his left eye is slightly higher than his right.
But it's hard to see whether he's tilting his head or not, cause of the hood.

my god, bardock ! I especially looked up to see if u're online so i can post my drawing without u rushing in and spoil all the fun ^_^ . seems either i failed, either u're uber cool invisible ninja ( if choose the latter it will mean i did not fail ).

anyway, yes. the head is tilting a little ( really? don't know, just smile and nod, smile and nod), nice of you to notice.

i was kind-of hoping that u'll have a more detailed comment, and was sure u'll spot more mistakes, and also give me a thumbs up for it, along with some flowers, a nobel prize ( for peace) and a job at shonen jump ^_^ .

[Bardock]

^_^
You didn't fail, I am the uber cool invisible ninja.

Well, when it comes to being more detailed. Let's go with the colored version, I had originally intended to comment on the whiter parts of his clothing, since they somewhat blended me.

But I decided to let it go, since the souroundings apparently were in the snow.

I might go in greater detail later on, but I'm going to train soon.. and I haven't got the time to really look for flaws in your drawing. (They are so well hidden -_-)

Anyhow, when it comes ot the Nobel Prize.. Draw a ninja with a guitar, and I might consider nominating you to the Bardock Prize. >__>

[SDugas3]

Very realistic. one question: How do you color your drawings? hehe.

[ashertaz]

well, most of them are digitally coloured. this one ( because i didn't had much time) is colored in ... crayons. ^_^

another possibile answers:

- with great care
- slowly
- with a uber lack of pacience
- with colors
- with my right hand ( and sometimes, with my toes)
- i calculate earth's trajectory in space , and the speed at wich our lovelly blue planet travels, and then i adjust my muscle force so that i can move the crayon or tablet pencil on the surface of the paper/tablet. gravity sometimes messes my calcuations.
- using any colors i might find: ketchup, mayo, mustard, mud, octopuss ( for the blue and black), fresh nuts... snails, anything i can get my hands on ^_^
- sometimes, i also color while i'm looking at anything else but the drawing.

don't ask me how i erase any of my mistakes, trust me, u don't wanna know.
and i won't answer even if u ask >_<

[SDugas3]

hehe, good answer. hehe. But it allways seems that it is hand colored.

[ashertaz]

nice one, Question. i'm sure u put a lot of work in this one.

i have a few comments though:
1. TNR is a game for all ages, and i don't really think kids between 8 and 12 should see decapitated heads. the drawing is gory.
2 his right leg looks flat, because of the shades.
3 his hair insertion seems a little up... like he's wearing a wig.
4. i don't understand where he keeps his sword/dagger when he's not using it.maybe on that thing on the left foot.
5. the character seems more of a brawler that a disciplined killing machine.
6. the blood doesn't look like blood, more like red jello.
7. the... errrr... "extra" head has an unreal expression. his mouth should be more open , since he's likely dead and the muscles do not contract anymore.

i see that u modified your drawing, and it's a good thing , those rays of light were put all wrong.
good job overall. keep'em coming.

[Bardock]

I believe his left leg, looks more like it's broken at his knee.
Oh, and the ground and the cloud.
They don't really look that well.. I have problems describing the thing, but you probably know what I mean, anyhow.

[SDugas3]

When cutting someone's head off the blood would come out in every direction though your character doesn´t even have a single blood drop in his clothes. hehe, and if the body isn't there it's because the guy moved with the head on his hand but there are no blood trails. hehe.

[Bardock]

Now, you're making assumptions on whatever the person could have done.
That's not very precise when it comes to suggesting things the other person can improve.

(look who's talking ^_^)

[SDugas3]

hehe, im just making logical assumptions. the main point of what i was saying is that the guy looks to clean to have chopped the other guy's head off.

[ashertaz]

well, mabe he's a Crime Scene Investigator doing his job. maybe he just found the head and he's taking a picture for the reward poster. it does not matter. the char's background is only important to it's creator.

please, try to give good advices, constructing ones, to those that draw. they need them (no matter what level their at) .

[Question]

well thanks for all the comments :) I though that in here we ask question about our drawings so I didnt notice that people talked about my drawing.

for the sun light, I changed the drawing. its different now.

about the legs, its the coloring ^.^ that why it looks not real, and yes there is something for the sword at the thing on his leg, we just cant see it, thats the reason there is something on the leg.

ow and this is the line art so you can see the coloring changed few things...

[SDugas3]

You are right ashertaz it really doesn't matter.

I would only change the clouds and the ground (snow). apart from that it's very good.

I edited my last comment on the other thread it has a new drawing though it's only a line art and not finished. comment. hehe

[Question]

SDugas3.
for your lineart:
1. arms are too long, the muscles looks strange...
2. for some reason I think the feet are small...
3. well that it ^.^ the main problem is the arms, if you fix it you fix most of the drawing.

[Bardock]

in the lineart, it still looks like his left leg is broken at the knee, though.
