this really doesn't feel natural...

Most of those look really good, I wish I could do poses like that.

But the guy with the dog looks like he's going to fall over and the kicking guy at the bottom looks like his legs are on backwards

I did this last night. It took me around 6 hours in GIMP with a mouse. A Red Goblin Sniper I happen to be playing in a Pathfinder game. I call him "Spook"

Damn photoshop is hard
(I'll never use the pen tool)

(ever)



i'l be upd8in' with color soon

Yeah the pen tool is a pain unless you're really experienced with it. How did you get such sharp, thin liiiines
Are there certain brush settings for that?

So I had this dream recently where I was playing a non-existent sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day where he ends up in Hell, and there was this weird crow guy who basically served as an antagonistic guide through the process. I didn't really try to replicate the actual style of that game in the picture, I just drew the design I thought up after waking up. Basically its a chimera-ish god of Death and Time.



Since I worked on that one instead, the hand-drawn version of the above characters I posted didn't get inked because I got tired after the first one.



But there's the WIP.

Tom, what are you using to ink your drawings?

I use so many different supplies all the time, but the most common ones for the ones I post are Pitt Pens by Faber Castell for outlines, and Hybrid Technica Pens by Pentel for gritty hatching. Pitt also has brush pens that fill in larger areas with ease.

Well first of all i had the scanned drawing on photoshop, and i did the lineart on another layer over it. What you're seeing is 37% size right there.

For the sharp lines, i used my tablet's pressure settings at first for the sharp stuff (i used my tablet for pretty much the whole drawing).
When you have to do big fade out lines, like the foldings on the pants, i made a curved line with the pen tool following the fold i wanted to make, and i made the line continue in the other direction for the same distance.

so you get this when you stroke the path (with the "simulate pressure" option), and you then erase the unwanted half of the line

Scanned a bunch of concept drawings for a space game idea I've recently conceived.

Some unrelated drawings came with them, too.

Ohhh the pressure sensitivity, right. I like the looks of that but have never really used it for anything yet. It looks like you're better with the pen tool than me though, I can't get the shapes I want sometimes.

Oh also, I'm getting the hang of digital painting now, thanks to Baegal.

You don't wear 3D glasses?
