That place I dump crap I draw

[Zolen]

It looks like the original image thread I had disappeared on clean up since I stopped posting long enough. So yeah...not entirely sure if i should be making a new one but to late.

Enjoy my attempts at trying to draw more solid forms.


I was originally planning to make it go all the way down to the hip for this image, but it was getting to wide without really adding anything to the image. Also it was only made for a comic page that was meant to be populated by stick figures, so I figured I already went over board as it is.



Crimson Knight, Bloody Egg, Rage

Left overs from QuickStart I never got to use because nobody wanted to participate anymore...




Arguably crap, but still I liked them.

These look a hell of a lot like the madness characters.

Twas a doodle that I redrew in gimp, I have no idea what I was actually thinking at the time when doodling them. I drew it on grid paper and traced one of the lines I think, on the first one when I doodled a circle then did that to all the doodles.

Technicly I never show these works because they really never go far and I am using a reference image and bascily just expanding it, but its a interesting way to play with effects when I am bored.


Original Image



My widening and minor edit.


The only reason I felt like posting this is technically because of a contest I plan to enter about the "Seven Deadly sins" part of the requirement is using 3 reference images from someones gallery (blatent self advertisement on their part) and design what is essentially a billboard for one sin, for mine I picked Greed, for that, this is the longest time I ever spent on a background image, and I am not really doing anything but playing with the smudge tool. (Maybe I shouldn't have, it looks kind of bad with all the smudges now that I look at it. :/ Meh to late to change my mind.)

There's no pattern to the smudging, and I really can't say I feel the greed in the picture. It just looks like a bunch of red feathers behind a lampost. The colours are pleasing, and the smudging made the contrast sharper which is cool too look at, but it gets boring rather quickly when there's nothing else to the picture.

Thank you for the detailed comment on what you think. As you can see from the white on the side I am not exactly done, but I wanted to show this in case someone saw something before I finished and committed myself entirely to it. It is the background mostly, I tried picking rich colors.


One part also using reference that will go along with the image was a pose, so far I only finished one but there are three poses I planned. (I would show the reference, but I rather not show self nudity(technically only without shirt but still), since its easier to draw the human body when clothing is not in the way of details.) Along with that was about 5 images (apparently its a popular way to stand around.) of that pose that I found randomly on the internet that I used in order to help figure out where to outline.



Shading not done as well as several details, and I don't want to draw hands. (This may look like crap to a lot of you, but understand the fact it looks like a human and almost correct proportions is a huge achievement for me.)

The other possible pose was one of him sitting boredom like on a throne, and one where he is holding someone up by the collar. Both of those I have not started, and both are a bit harder because I don't plan to be shirtless so outlining would be harder, and I am not able to draw a human without about 50 reference images at my skill level. (It taking a lot of time because I am using a lot trying to smooth lines.)

When the image for "greed" is really done, it will be the first time I ever spent more then a hour drawing anything.

You know what greed image? Yes still at it, and stuck unsure where to go now. You see there is a rule of 3 refs taken from http://stockproject.deviantart.com/

Currently I only have the 1 from before.
