<div class="IPBDescription">Soon done</div> Im working on a new drawing, this time all done by me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
Inspired by manny movies/animes i saw, the musik i listen to, and the world i live in.
No refference used, just my anatomy book (still suck at drawing bodies).
Done in photoshop 7 with teh wacom tablet.

Need some legs... can't draw the friggin legs... I want him to kneel with only 1 leg.

wow, looks great! every thing is really perportioned great, cept the armor which i think you gonna fix up anyways... tho it would looks a little more exciting with the arms being different instead of just flipped. when you get a final line art done..mind if color this? looks to be a great project and can VERY great if put to good use.

jumpingjoda · June 2004

I will add some stuff on his arms dont worry <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
Armor will be fixed... Yep.

I will color this myselft, but everyone who want to do it, is welcome! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

jumpingjoda · June 2004

Update:
Made legs the way i want them to be. Only the postition of them will remain the same, the shape will change slightly.

Trying out some other armor concept, i think this one is nice... Comments?

Added background concept, some kind of cliff (may change into something completely different, like cave)

Damn, i want more free time to work on this <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

His mouth looks like if he was having an invisible man-wand in it o.0

And the arms right next to the hands look like if they had been inside a man-hole for too long (too tight, too small, whatever...)

btw get that copyright thing off, you remind me of someone which makes me sick...

jumpingjoda · June 2004

Obst you pervert, i wish i never told you about this thread <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />
Now get lost, thx <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Obst · June 2004

His right leg looks like it was attracted by a *(insert pervert thing here)* at the left side of the picture.

(Read: It's wrongly angled [the upper leg/torso angle])

Wrong, it is a natural pose(go try it out, i did <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> ), it is verry uncomfortable for a man to stick his legs together. Blame anatomy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Obst · June 2004

...
Look: His upper knee would be unnaturally twisted like that. You need to draw the right foot slightly turned:

jumpingjoda · June 2004

Look i tryed it out, there is no problem.
It was verry comfortable. So if anyone got some constructive critism, drop it here <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

jumpingjoda · June 2004

Got a bit time to work on it again.
Fixed some lines, added earth/stones which are lifted up by some force from the ground (cross shaded things are holes).
also redone mouth and nose.

To do:
Add background
Fix his left leg
Fix other little things

Plz drop a comment,
if you like it tell me why
if not also add why.

You see a spot where it could need some fixing? Tell me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Looks like poo hovering without flapping...
Make the holes smooth with the ground, they don't look like holes.
Add anything to give an illusion that the stones actually move up.
Make the stones look like stones.
Gimme alcohol.

jumpingjoda · June 2004

Oh noes obst is back and kickin'. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
Everything i can say to your comment involving stones and poo, those are just outlines and experimental shadow guidelines, the difference bitween a stone and poo is the color and shading, and this will be the last step.

Holes should not be smooth with the ground. they will look like holes when i add depth with shadows and color difference.

Thx for comment though, i will try to change some stuff <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Obst · June 2004

By "smooth" holes I meant they should look like holes, not like strangely lightened rocks. That's what they look like now, rocks.

BTW is this scene taking place on a god's toilet or where?

jumpingjoda · June 2004

No obst it is not the toilet, if you got no constructive critism i will ask an admin to edit your useles post out, so plz stop asking if it is poo.
Thanks.

Constructive part

Fun part, with implied question:

Where the hell is this supposed to be?

jumpingjoda · June 2004

Like i said in my posts, it is a cliff.
You want to know which country or what? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

/me senses aggressions brought up because of my sucking jokes....

*trolls off, never to return*

jumpingjoda · June 2004

He will come back <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> .

Here i fixed the poop... Err i mean rocks and holes, made them more rough and added depth into the holes. Now it should be clear that they are lifting up and not raining down <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> .

Anny more suggestions? Note that this is my learning project and so i need much feedback.

Lt_Gravity · June 2004

he looks dispaired.
in my eyes his arms are too straight. if anyone would kneel on the floor not knowing what to do next, he would became cramped, all his muscles would contract.

cant wait to see it colored.

jumpingjoda · June 2004

All i can tell for now is that he's not a regular human and it is not like he is standing there for hours.
Note: this is not some kind of a portrait, it's a "my crazy mind" production, so he can brave the elements <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />
Everything else will show up when i finish it, details are still "my mind" exclusive.

OrganoX · June 2004

i like this picture, but i like the hands most.

jumpingjoda · June 2004

I could'n resist to start coloring it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> .
BTW it looks much better in my photoshop ... Don't know why <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /> The colors here are much darker than they should be.
