BB's Crit Thread - Return from Death

[Bacon_Barbarian]

The Devil. Because re-thinking manga in my head again. Something like Faust going on this time. More messing around with tone of course.

Nice bacon! Love the suit! It gives off that devil-ish-inferno-smoke feel...... And now time for crits > So first and foremost great chara design! If it were me i would add some more details to the cane and the pants, they seem poor in comparison to the suit and head part of the chara(still its just a preference, not a valid critique). When you look at the pants everything looks ok until you come to the ''junk'' part. It kinda seems like that part is ........sucking in the pants =.=' I think that the cloth ripple farthest to us is pointing up too much, and cuz of that it seems that its being......sucked in........o.O. Also the legs seem a bit to small in comparison to the torso. Also almost forgot to mention cool tone shading, i myself never use them =.=' im bad with shading itself....

[late]Thanks Gedeon. You're right.

So, I've been drawing since whenever I last updated, I've just been having a shit load of issues with my scanner/computer. Hell, I still am. BUT, I feel that if I don't post something soon, I might not post art here again, so I thought I'd show you guys this.



Year. It's really shitty quality. I'm sorry. I just felt the need to share.[/late]

[Bacon_Barbarian]

Blah. So it turn out my mom has a really good camera, so I thought I'd upload some finished pictures. I didn't know that she had one, so I can't upload my Lordgenome picture, but here are some pictures from the One Shot I was doing over the summer. (Sadly I never finished it because when my computer died, I lost the script and the will to finish it.)

So, "character reference sheets":

SPOILER! :

The protagonist:



After inking it, I noticed some things I did wrong (of course). Namely his pants. Also his buckles are messed up, but having it around helped me anyway.

2nd protagonist:



2nd protagonist's friend:



Antagonist v1:



Antagonist v2:

Something ... else ... I was doodling in study hall. Manga ideas and whatnot.

It's really hard to tell how things are going because the pictures are all taken at an angle. When you draw you shouldn't do it on a flat table because as you look at it and draw that way you are seeing the image skewed so it only looks right at that angle. So you should draw with the paper at an angle to you so it's parralel to your eyes and doesn't get skewed when viewed from head on. Your pictures are from an angle so they are skewed and making the charecters look more disproportionate than they may actually be.

[Bacon_Barbarian]

Fixed. :3

Though, I think I lost some quality. :?

[Bacon_Barbarian]

Hoodley-hoo. Some contour drawings.

[Hamachi]

Hey man, I like the last one. I suggest you do lots more of these.

[GunZet]

I second Hamachi. Love the contour drawings, man. That's something I never really took a liking to, but enjoy seeing others do it lol. I like the little dot additions on the flower one.

[Bacon_Barbarian]

Heh, glad you like them. I guess I can give them a go some time soon. They really take a lot of focus though, it's so tempting to look down! Oh, and the dots are totally a mistake that came from so ink that bled through.

So, some other stuff from the art class I was taking. This time some charcoal junk.









I apologize for the quality of the middle two.
