Sounds great. I'm up for cars but anything is fine with..for the most part.

Gave up cus im gunna go bed soon. But, I thought the arm was alright so i thought id try doing it with this way that Arvand (zombie pimp) showed me. You can find it somewere on MC's site (in the Pulp) and its about colouring hair.

What I dont do often is have one colour going into another nicely, and heres an example of it not being nice :)

Yeah man, that's a tribute to the puny woman. My sister for example, has NO muscles in her arms, shes not atall fat but has bingo wings.

I think with a picture like that, what you should think about doing is making the lines around objects nearer the camera thicker, then the ones in the background thinner. So the line thickness would show the depth of the image.

Unfortunately I made this from a plane (its 3D) so it would be difficult to incorporate it into a whole head, I'm going to make another whole head soon.

Made in Zbrush btw

*frustrated sigh*
After seeing 300, great movie... jesus that was a good movie, i am inspired to draw Spartans, Greeks, and the like. While looking in Google images for "Spartan" i came over this...
Spartan

This is just an amazing piece, i have been trying SO hard to try and duplicate the blending with just three colors in MS paint.

255 green, red and blue.

I just can't seem to get it as smooth, i have zoomed in on it to see how the artist did that wonderful blending. I haven't bothered to save any of my attempts of it.

Does anyone have any tips or anything... i REALLY want to learn how do to that... but i guess that old quote is true. "You can't rush art."

Ive had this walk cycle for bloody ages now, and its not even done yet. I think I posted it a few pages back, but now ive filled every frame. That doesn't mean it's done though, now im gunna go through and clean him up a bit because im not liking it to much right now. Gotta make him fatter towards one swing of the walk (his chest gets skinnier) and some more stuff. Will report back.

Tell me if there is any silly problems with it - for example 'forgetting to draw a face'. I will double frame it up at some point and give him a face.

It does look totally awesome. It just needs speeding up and smoothening out, is all.

The animation is really great, it just looks a little awkward because his face moves a bit too much from side to side instead of looking straight ahead.

Yee I agree. I wasnted a little bit of bounce, but maybe that's to much. The sketch looks alot smoother ( Link[>] )

Here's something I did earlier too. Took about 2-3 hours and right now it has no purpose. Link[>].

Looks pretty sweet dude. Maybe add the eyes, and maybe soft details with a darker shade of whatever your using. But looks great.

Here is a menu i finished yesterday for a game i am working on. Hows it look?:
Hit right click>play and you might be able to play the actual game. All OOP

Mech Engine...
that's pretty cool, and I like the idea. I'd just add a lil bit to the mechanized part, like make a few rotating things, so it looks more robotish. otherwise that's pretty cool.
Sneak Walk Cycle...
I'm going to try and make something like that...it's nice. But when I get my tablet back.

I've been designing a magazine for school, i could really do with some feedback on it. The front cover isn't 100% done, but its almost there. Made in fireworks.

Motorstorm 8/10? Im dissapointed in you.

Anyway, its looking really good. I like the colour sceme.

Maybe you could make the headline saying "Moterstorm" a little more interesting. Nothing over the top, just something to catch the eye a little more. And the little circle is covered up by snake, making the last part impossible to read. I realize why you did it, but we have to be able to read the important parts. And if you look at real magazines, almost all the lettering has some form of drop shadow on them. This makes the word easier to look at and makes them pop out of the page alot more. You should probably try that out.

But good job so far.

It looks really good, except that I think you should try and use a little bit more of Photoshop looking effects (in Flash if you want) and make it look kind of really flashy and covered all over. You should look at real ads and review type stuff like that and you'll see.

Could you explain? I don't have ps before you ask.

Thanks for the comments, i was thinking of sending a copy to official playstation magazine, they publish that sort of stuff :). Whadya think?

What I mean are those kind of effects where you have like instead of straight red, you have like a white stripe (thin) going diagonally across. They're effects in Photoshop that you can also make in Flash if you know how. No real work is needed though. Good luck on sending it in.

Cheers for the feedback, t'is always nice to get comments as you can actually tell if shit you do is alright.

23450's menu

It looks nice, I think you'd do yourself a favour having the things at the side coming in overlap with the up-and-down ones coming in, so there'd be no gap between, itd feel alot quicker. and it's pretty unnesecary to be honest, but have the wires bounce back last a little less longer. They snap back to late right now, and they go to far down (for not being squished enough at the sides).

How is that for unnesecary reading? :P

The look of it is cool, reminds me of the menu for the Altered reality collab here - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/326282

Depredations magazine

I like it, I looked it and felt a bit iffy, but then I imagined it actually in a magazine, so imagine seeing it on a glossy page, on your table. An example of what I felt iffy about is the writing right on the top and the bottom on the front cover. I think what made me iffy is that they are on white, and white is just boring - and especially seeing it on a white background. But when printed it would look decent. I dont like the font used inside though. Maybe even post it in the typography thread?

When you write your evaluation of it or whatever, you should write about actually imagining it printed, as a magazine, teachers really love shit like that when you appear to be thinking outside the box. You could say for example how whites are usually dull, but on a page in a magazine, theyd #have some sort of effect#

:)

Here's an update on some sprites I posted here a few pages ago. I finished off the kneeling & shooting ones just now, and I think I will do some more when its still interesting.

Mogly's Sick Lil' Sprite Dudes
Man, those are so cool. At first I was like, how'd he redraw that FBF so well! Then it was a little bit of a disappointment to find out that they weren't, but I was still thinking that they're cool. I know that it looks cool with the kind of slow frame look, but can you try and make it more smooth, because I wanna see what it would look like then.

Does it look to slow to you? It is going at 40fps, although most of them are double framed. I have a couple of filters in there so that may be it. Here they are without any of those - Link.

Cheers for the comment :)

No slow, just kind of double framed, like what you did

No, it's still basically the same. If you look at it as 40, then technically it's 20 if double framed. I think that if you put frames in between those double and quad frames, that it'll look REALLY nice, even though it still does.

Cheers for the comment :)

Oh, and please don't ban me in the Reg's Forum.
