Hi :)

Sorry for the lack of posting. I've been having some computer troubles, as well as having a bunch of RL things to keep me occupato!

I have some quickie doodles of what I envision people from Via Rosso looking like - exsquisitely elegant, incredibly refined, and radiates political power; sort of like the aristocratic families of southern Italy in the early 1500s, only with a more updated palette of fabrics and ideas. Since the people who live in Via Rosso are too busy being infatuated with their own money, and have others do the manual labor for them, their outfits have very little combat functionality.

Here's a female psi monk. I aimed for a slightly gypsy-like appearance; very refined yet also very eccentric. It's hardly finished but it's definately one that I will revisit in the future.

I'm trying my hand at drawing the male figure again after a break from them for god knows how long! I'll be the first to admit that its a very male-fashion-model physique, partly due to the fact that it's in my background and also because it sort of fits in with Viarosso's 'beautiful is better' schtick and the lean and frail physique of spies. If you couldn't tell, I was thinking of Lucius Malfoy (A character in the Harry Potter movie series) while doing the hair. There was at one point an odd-looking hand at the end of the sleeve but I decided to take it out.

I would love to comment on the bunches of doodles that have been posted since I was last here, but I've got to jet! I'm not able to say anything that anyone else hasn't, and if I was, you guys would probably already know what it was, so you're not missing much :P

Looking forward to seeing some more doodles! glad to see that a little bit more life was breathed into this thread as of recent!

Holy crap Rosey! you draw Be-shonen Dudes :eek: . Hahah, not that Im bustin ohn yeh, I just know quite a few chicks at the institute that draw those. Good to see yer work though, I like how the clothing flows about your characters. I wish I could do that well, my armor tends to be my mainstay for my characters.

I got a challenge for you though, mainly because Im curious how this will turn out. Draw a gritty kinda ugly guy, and Ill try and draw a fancy fashion oriented man. Do you accept my challenge?

What an interesting idea Clive! I accept your challenge! :)

I really don't aim for the whole bishonen appearance :P The long hair on my previous male was more of a homage to the 17th and 18th century style of american mens' clothing and hairstyle. I guess I'll have to be more careful of keeping things just elegant - and not too beautiful with my mandoodles!

Here's my gritty, dirty, ugly man. I think it came out pretty good! I like the way the hairstyle came out, much better than it looked on paper! It kind of makes me think of the lead singer from Gorillaz!

I can't wait to see your fancypants fashion man (or anyone else's, really!)

Mission failed, he's still a pretty boy, where's the harsh, unkempt stubble, smears on his clothing, cig ash stains, lanky hair and broken lips?

:p

Basically he needs to look like Clint

Here's another DJ pic... no real point to it other than a vague figure study... which falied, the hips are all wrong.
Fresh scan, no cleaning up at all (cba :P)

Im sure her top creeps further up and her pants down in every picture :p

Good work DJ, looks good to me!

OK, a random experiment, that went horribly wrong. My art style is pissing me off, it looks terrible.

It's good, the proportion is fine, and the form is spot on, just try to broaden the horizons beyond madame dribble! :angel:

'Draw your Character'

:p

I might....

OK, first pic is a slightly different pose, the cloak was an after thought and when I took the boddy away in PS it looked shit, her arse in the second one look daft anyway.

Now, there are some filthy people out there who think I can draw.
So here's what you want, hope you are satisfied.
NOT SAFE FOR WORK

She looks like a female bodybuilder :/

Devoted Merc in regualr combat? A muscualr physique seems to fit the character quite well. Bodybuilder seems innaporpriate - she isn't bulky, just defined.

Her physique probably does suit her quite well, but very muscular women creep me out a lot.

*shudder*

In reality DJ would be more like a Tri-athlete, which is kinda how I attempt to draw her, clearly more boobage and general curviness though :p.

And yes people really did ask for this. Dirty bitches.

One way to sum that up: wtf O_o

Well, I got a test picture, My first attempt at using a tablet (yes I got one, finally, 35bucks, used). Too bad I suck at it lol.

like yer stuff DJ, and on the topic of buff women, there not bad lookin in my opinion ;)

Nice! this was a great opportunity to check if i still have ze sci-fi touch :)

It's been over a year since i've actually drawn anything else than website layouts or corporate logos. Anyway here's my spy, Parabellum.

http://personal.inet.fi/private/els/tinkering.jpg

He's usually planning or doing something evil, you know, spy stuff.

But in the end he always dies to some silly mistake :(

I'll draw one of my nubi melee tank also but right now im busy leveling the little mofo.

I just lost a duel to a Butchee..

O_O

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!



That's one of the most amazing pieces I've ever seen!

Shit, I can't even dream of being as good as that! The light... oh, man...

Thats nice photoshop nixon (Neat little fingers there too, he a little mutated? lol) Anywho, very nice man, Im still learning those little techniques for photoshop. Im gonna submit that "challenge" soon, since I dont have class this friday.

cheers dude

Parabellum's left arm was twitching every time he was shooting his rifle and it messed up his aim.. So he got a better one. Silent Hunter hitting like a charm now ;)

I can make a thread (tutorial) about drawing similar stuff on other section if you like.

IF yeh really wanna man, tutorials are helpfull regardless of if I do Or dont know anything of the tut (in this case I dont =P) So your welcome to make one^^

did a pretty good drawing of my tank in college earlier, but when i went to talk to someone one of my friends cut it out and kept it :lol:

starting again, will post it here once im done :p

Nixon delete some of your private messeges :p
