Few peices of art I drew while I was gone :)

Post by JK-47 »

I drew the pictures by hand and colored them in Photoshop and MSP.

Half Life 2 Strider:

Echo 419:

And a new covenant race (I didn't vector it, an uber 1337 d00d at halobabies.net did it for me :P):

I'm working on vectoring master chief, its taken me a week to get this far :? :shock: :
Image
The colors are funky because I'm just trying to get an obvious difference of color, I plan on coloring it green and shading it when I'm done coloring it all psycodellic like.

Lmfao, yeah, it gave the peeps at halobabies.net a good laugh :lol:

Then my black friend said he wanted to eat it cause it had chicken legs (and the stereotype for black people is they love chicken)

Yeah, that's the thing I hate about it but even with reference pictures, Striders are hard to draw.

And the Vector is in Microsoft Paint. MSP is awsome for vectoring things, even if the shading isn't smooth, its really pwn.

I like the drawing of the pelican and the strider. The strider reminds me of oklahoma during a tornado, the sky and the windows on the wall below remind me ;). One crit about your drawing of the pelican however, when drawing an object like that you want to keep your lines consistent. For isntance:
---------------
/ \
---------------- \
\ \ ---------------
\ /
----------------\-

Eh, I know it looks funky, just focus on the diagonal lines going between the two horizontal lines, they are consistent each time they are drawn. That is for drawing an object however, if you are drawing perspective, lines tend to converge on the horizon, my art teacher taught me once how to draw a horizon. You draw a line across the paper horizontally, where you want your horizon to start. Where you want the persepctive to be, you put a dot. Draw your object on the paper, then connect the edges to the dot. Where you want your object to end, you draw a line across (this is where that line consistency comes into play, horizontally, since your horizon is horizontal across the paper). I think I can draw an ascii drawing:

-----------------------------------------------
| |
| | | |
| |
|----------------------O----------------------|
| / / / |
| / / / |
| ------- / |
| / / | |
| ------ / |
| | | / |
| ------ |
| |
----------------------------------------------

The symbols in this don't arc in variation enough for me to connect each line to the dot, but you see the bottom slanted line connects to it, which is what you do with all the lines.
I like the pelican because it is blocky, and I like blocks :). I like the look of a low polygonal surface as well, I don't know why I just do. :) Sometimes when textures are added I think it ruins the classic perfect-ness of the polygons.
Also, use Png and Gif for low file size, low artifact/loss of detail for images. Jpeg is just gross.

Edit: I knew these forums were to stupid to post this intact. I'll draw a paint image.

Ahh, but you've only seen so little so far! There is more to come, of a much different variety. No I don't mean more 'hijacking' or 'immaturity'. Those are something I lack and have never done before, although that has yet to take presedence here on the forums. I wasn't going to mention it but the moment I try not to be that, you attack me. Just pointing that out, no insult meant.

BTW I had to go somewhere, I did make the paint drawings but I didn't get the chance to post them. Here tha' Arr:

Image

The red lines are the lines that must be consistent, or come to think of it, they can all be somewhat close in angle. I find that when drawing on the computer (something I detest) it is much harder to draw because if you screw something up, it is much more obvious, unlike on paper because you can twist and alter the shape of lines to make the drawing coherent.

Image

Like I said, draw your dot on the horizon and then draw your object, connect the edges (essentially: the vertices of the drawing) to the dot, and draw a line across to form your shape. Erase the lines leading to the horizon. ;)

Sure PS and IM are better, but MSP is COOLER. It gives it a better effect in MSP.
