the 'Draw your Character' thread

http://img253.echo.cx/img253/4092/untitled8re.jpgjust a little update... spent all weekend camping so not much progress.

and i know i'm not doing the correct colour scheme for the blood angels, i'm just banging it on as i see fit :p

:edit: i quite like the way the muzzle flashes came out

*cries*

Red and black... I feel so violated now, Jester. :mad:

i'm not liking that green actually... it may yet tuen back into a blood angel :p

You need to seperate the Background into it's own layer - or when you come to do the sky, the muzzle flashes are gonna stay a washed out yellow with the white of the sky behind them.

Me likey though - and have been a complete lazy-ass and not even touched mine - I got the makings of a cel-shaded PE based on the real model, just haven't touched it!

In my defence tho, I've been a tad busy getting lost in manchester and stuff... the uni campus is HUGE!

EDIT - A quick snap of what I had on friday... the last time I touched it - still LOADS of stuff to do - It's a fullbody pic, and I'm STILL on the base layers :S

Have to detail and shade - get rid of those lines - do the BG... essentially it should come out looking like sunny's just my method of doing it... which is in all honesty the RIGHT way to do it! But old habits die hard, so I'm sticking with mine :p

might leave the background a kind of washed out colour... or do a dirty brown overlay over the lot and see how that looks.

but i'm leanin towards that "arty in the front and kinda sketchy in the back" kinda concept art look :p

:edit: like this

Alright - I did like 2 mins work on it :P - I roughed out some shades - prolly gonna be the red mirror kind...

EMPHASIS ON THE ROUGH!

Although it does bring the face together a bit more...

Christ on a bike, this is gonna take forever at this rate :p

EDIT: Removed due to suckidity.

If I hadn't just got back from a booze, supernoodle and hash fueled bender at glasto, and wasn't insanely busy in the next few days, and wasn't going on camp on friday, I'd do some more...

Incidentaly, when I colour, I use something more like Ian's, which can be found here.

Thats Pretty much the way I do it... Although... kind of get a bit carried away and tend to add/remove things in the process - WHICH IS A NO NO! It plays merry hell with actually trying to make PROGRESS! :lol:

.. god Im so unhappy with how Im drawing my character Clive Tombstone. I was originally intending on making a few short webcomics featuring him, but I'm just having a hard time making an HC PE look good, I guess Ill need a day more to work on him a little bit.

In the mean time, I like what everyone is doing so far. :D
