_Noxygen_: I downloaded this and opened (not knowing what it was) the file. thought it was a bit, until until it spitted a list of pre made tags... I'm going to use the shit out of this, as I only use three tags at most because I hate tagging lol. thank you
@KuroNeko: thanks! Took more hours than I'd like to admit, but half the time was spent trying to learn how the layer system works and playing around with the tools and lighting and stuff.
@bluedraggy: thanks, the lighting was a pain in the ass
_Noxygen_: This looks awesome! Don't worry about the hands, hands are fucking stupid anyways am I right? I tried drawing her too, but I always give up halfway making her lol
_Noxygen_: bro I just wanna say I love your art! not only is this an excellent 3/4 angle, but the hatching falls with the flow of the hood very well, giving it a simple yet strong sense of form. also your eyes will tend to gaze up and down since the main point of focus is the head, then the hood afterwards, so your eyes can gaze with the direction of the lines well which is very pleasant. nice!
_Noxygen_: @GrizzlyBear: thanks! coming back to this After watching some memes and passing out, I feel better now lol
@Denis: thank you for the feedback! I'll post the base construction when I figure out how to embed images inside posts, or find some other method. I'll see if I can still fix the limbs up to look more proportionate. I know I can fix the arm at least. Also that portrait you did looks amazing!
@Skybolt: thanks, I was going to go with a much more detailed and brutalist design with the helmet, but that proved to be more difficult than I thought. Still going to add the glowing etchings all over it and hopefully save this thing when I paint it lol
_Noxygen_: I'm back from the trenches lol. This is a project I'm still working on for Skybolt, and it's taking forever (sorry about that). It's been like three weeks without an update so I thought I should post what I have so far. I really underestimated how difficult this was going to be (I've redrawn the gun and hands alone like 7 times lol), but I'm still going to try and finish it! Also the signatures are only going to get weirder. Sorry if I sound a little pessimistic, I'm just frustrated with my skill level and how long this took. Hope you enjoy what I have so far! Also gimmie some advice
_Noxygen_: @Skybolt06: lol what a coincidence I've been practicing my art so I can do freelance work in the future, so yeah free commission! (Although I still have a long ways to go) this may take a while since I'm still learning how to use krita, but I'm getting faster at line work at least. Wish me luck my guy
_Noxygen_: @Skybolt06: sounds like a winner! Just one thing...what is an etching? I tried looking it up and all I found was engravings and stuff. Also if there is anything specific you want for the drawing, feel free to ask! The more descriptive you are-the better it is for me to plan and visualize this stuff.
_Noxygen_: I don't know who this Joshua guy is, but I like to think he has a resting bitch face lol I've only read a couple chapters so I'm a bit lost on story context. Nice chapter though!
Also what does this stealth armor look like exactly? I'm thinking if I want to attempt to draw it cuz reasons
_Noxygen_: I can give a few tips on where to start! The most important fundamentals (imo) that will help you improve the most is line, shape, form, and perspective. I was going to write a whole post about the fundamentals for you, but I thought it felt too long for some pointers lol
you'll improve A lot if you research and practice those fundamentals, but another great way to practically learn is to draw from REFERENCE. That means anything from life or an image online of something. If you have a reference then you have something to breakdown and observe (and most importantly learn from) instead of guessing from imagination. just one or two 15-30 minute life drawings each day and you'll improve over time. That and don't be afraid to fail! Every time you fail, you can learn what went wrong, and improve as an artist-the more you fail the more your going to learn! Hope this helps, I'm curious of what you can potentially make down the road.
_Noxygen_: @egliomatn: np. I've realized yesterday that I need to improve my fundamentals more (mostly form and lines) before I try tackling on another little project. My end goal is to make at least one fully body drawing that has nice shape language, design, and form. I'd like to see more cool work from you, take care!
_Noxygen_: I've been grabbing images of Katia trying to figure out how to draw her more accurately and it's a lot more difficult than I thought, so great work!
