Wow, I should probably go and look at it again, I don't remember exactly what's in it. And thaaaaanks
Chok, I've actually been wanting to watch Iron Giant ever since I was 4 and saw a trailer for it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. ;__;

And wow Geist, that painting is astonishing.

Instructor wants us to look up M.C. Escher to look at good example of using positive/negative space.
I already knew of the man, of course, I'm kind of in a beginner course to get a move on my Graphic Design program.
Still, his works are still very impressive. Such precision for a person living during a time things like computers weren't there to help him put it together.

ugh I keep forgetting that this thread is open again lmao
Here's some stuff I've been doing for the short film I'm involved with. For those of you who I may not have told, I'm doing concepts/ character modeling/ matte painting for a cg/live action sci-fi short film called the condamned. I signed an NDA so unfortunately that's all I can really say about it
All this stuff you see is really early stages except for the final rotation, which is being modeled as we speak.
I thought it would be interesting to post since I've been getting some positive feedback from it so far :D

Every time you post, my mind explodes. Post the link when your film finishes - that is, if you're allowed to. It never ceases to amaze me all the little details that artists choose to add. My mind can't conceptually think of fine details, so my drawings end up looking bland. Also, I like the alien guy with that 3rd eye in the middle.ugh I keep forgetting that this thread is open again lmao

I feel like everything I paint is something glowy on a dark background u.u

geist your grasp of form is mad nice!

lmao thanks guys
But don't worry, this is far from my only style. I'm required to do more realistic concepts for this because we're shooting for photorealism. I'm not in charge of artistic direction either unfortunately - concept artists have to be flexible and improvise well in terms of genre/style/etc, so I'm just told what the director/ producer wants to see and I draw a bunch of variations of it lol. Maybe I'll post some of my newer cartoony personal stuff later.
edit: nice painting global :D
Pixar lol

Okay, screw coloring. Let's add detail instead!
Geist
Smash Master
I like that your drawings are completely recognizable, but I can't help think that your lines are focusing too much on value, rather than the shape/form.
It's coming along though, don't get me wrong. Are you going to eventually color it?

I'm not very good at coloring. I'm also not very patient, so that's a giant maybe. If I do color it, it won't look that great. If someone with openCanvas 1.1-4.0 wants to take a crack at it when all is said and done, I'll send the .WPB. As for the lines, I'm trying to make it look like an inked comic book cover, which is probably why it looks like there's so much contrast.
Geist
Smash Master
Oh, well in that case nevermind what I said. I assumed you were coloring it to be more of a traditional digital painting, derp
For one, I ask in interest. I may join, but I got a bad mic, so I wouldn't be speaking.
And for two, try not to 10 char dodge in these social threads.
The threads are all on thin ice and that doesn't help the cause of keeping them alive.

We mostly don't use our mics. Standard skype doesn't support mic group chats, you have to have premium, plus I think a bunch of us don't even have one readily available/working lol
Well, you can have group mic chats up to like....20 people iirc
cam chat is another story
My mic is one of the broked ones.
Gonna pick one up eventually.
Maybe next weekend.....Grandma's birfday party aww yeah <3

What is skype anyway? Is it just for video chat or voice chat? Also, facebook has video chat now too? I think I'm one of the few people who still uses AIM.
Skype is a chat client which has regular chat, and is honestly made for more video/voice calls.
we use our skype to just chat, since group chatting is easier there than on AIM or MSN.

You can also call people's phones on your skype free of charge iirc
Vinylic.
Woke?
People's phones? I don't think so. Mines said that I needed to pay for Skype credits in order to call people on their phones. Unless, you're talking about premium.
