This one is pretty decent. The dramatic lighting is cool.

But you fucked up the eyes....which is the main feature of this sketch.

Well the idea was for it to be inked completely flat black, there's not supposed to be so much layered penciling like that. It gives the impression you can see his other eye because of the way I naturaly shaddow around eyes with a pencil but with ink it would have been completely black.

In my humble opinion though the first one does look neat but the most detailed and best one there is the last one. You can't see the detail but the lightning she's throwing around there really shows what I was talking about capturing movement. It looks fluid, if you could see the detail.

Well it goes back to my point about you and the way you draw. It's not fluid but that is.

haha, after 15 minutes I finally see its a face. Its not as good as the cow IMO.

nice!

kracus: the thing that gives a bad feeling about your drawing is the shadowed eye. it just does not look realistic.
but - as gky said: the lighting is cool :icon14:

I know, it's supposed to be all flat black though... it's just because it's penciled in trust me.

I'm halfway done with a redraw of the original sketch on the first page of this topic.

Stay tuned.

your perspective in this picture is totally fucked.
Having said that, you can definately draw, but you aren't that great. Some of it reminds me of Rob Liefeld, or early Todd McFarland which really isn't good.

LOL... I'll tell Todd that next time I see him. "Some dumb kid doesn't think your art is any good."

"Ohohoh. Hey I'm gonna get some lunch."

"What're you gonna eat today?"

"Dollar bills."

Kracus: Work on your eyes. You're doing the old two arch thing. () but sideways. Here, I just gave you ten minutes of my time in drawing you an example, so think about it next time you try to talk shit.

That's right rEp, how dare anyone insult a rich person!

That's like saying Britney Spears can't sing, or Kevin Costner can't act!

i was going to say that the big water cannister or whatever you want to call it in the front looks very 2d.

then again i suck at art so i shouldnt say anything.

Jesus, now he is fucked, isn't he? You're boasting you actually know Todd Mc'overrated'Farlane and threaten the guy he'll laugh at him and eat some cash!!!!!!

You ARE ON FIRE, ARENT YOU REP???

I've met David Mack and he's 1. a way better artist than Todd and 2. a very nice person who does not eat dollar bills.

owned again, idiot.

lol, rep could be artistic offspring of Michelangelo and Ingres and still get incinerated :lol:

@ Stu : I'm guessing you went to or are at Art School or something similar. Not bad at all :icon14:

Nice work Stu. Hell Kracus, your first and third pics aren't half bad. That second one blows, though. Although, unless you use tools when drawing structures or machinery, it's extremely difficult to achieve any sort of accuracy.
I'm looking for some work that was done by a guy I served with at Cherry Point. His name's Jim Hollister, and he turned out some of the most incredible pencil drawings of military aircraft I've ever seen. He did one picture of two Harriers taking off over the main gate of the Air Station that was phenomenal. Google is failing me, however.

Here's my redraw. Although after I scanned it I decided that the first sketch actually looks cooler, after photoshopped that is and would fit better for a comic/cartoon. But here's the 2nd version of my character:
