Mabelma's Thread of Stuff (Art)

[Mabelma]

Here's an inked chell any comment will be truly appreaciated.

[Mabelma]

Colored and shaded chell with some mid tones, nothing too dark or too dark, cause I still haven't figured out if the background is good perspective wise, so I didn't want to add any actual ambient lighthing on the character since I haven't figure that out yet. Anyways, hope you like it. Any comment would be truly appreaciated.

[Mabelma]

Threw in a couple darker values on her. Once I have her colors all down, I'll begin working on the background.

[Mabelma]

Colored and inked the rail, so far so good?

[Garamonde]

the rails seem off-perspective compared to the conveyor(?), unless that was intentional?

[Mabelma]

It kinda was intentional but if it looks bad I would love a few pointers on how to fix it.

[Mabelma]

Background added, and shaded. Also increased the outline of the foreground a bit, to make it stand out. Thoughts?

Still haven't added the lighting that should tie everything together but the next update should come with that plus the portals.

[Mabelma]

Pretty much done with it, would love to hear your input on it, I would like to improve it as much as I can, so anything is welcomed.

Spoiler

This isn't really a great example but it kind of seems like you were so focused on what the general shape of the rails was that you forgot to think about them in 3D. With that camera view and with the rails being below eye level I think you would see more of the top and everything would be at a different angle and such.

[Mabelma]

I see what you mean, how's this? Any better?

[Mabelma]

This is as far as I could take the image, any comments would be truly appreaciated, I would love to go back and add on to it and make it better, so feel free to say whatever comes to mind

[Garamonde]

the eye to our right looks like it's rotated clockwise just a bit much, and looks off compared to the rest of her face.
the ear to our right looks weird too but I'm not sure if that was intended/how it actually is on her or not.

[Mabelma]

Went back and resketched chell a bit to fix some issues you pointed out, if this is better, I'll go ahead and ink it up and work on my shading.

[Garamonde]

yes, both issues have been fixed from what I can see.

[Mabelma]

Been almost a month since I last posted, but fear not, it's not because I got discouraged by the comments, it's because I've been really busy with a lot of things which I'll post below. I went ahead and abandoned the portal image because there's no real point redoing it twenty times because I won't learn much by redoing the same image tons of times, so I went ahead and just did a bunch of new things.

First off, I started animating with a group of animators, so here's some of that:

I also worked on a bunch of new images, some I'm proud of, others I'm not so proud of but here's all of that.

Also some collaborations with other artist, in which I added the colors to their work.

And last but not least I've been studying up, I can only post the stuff that's digital because I no longer have a printer but I also have a bunch of sketches on my blackbook.




Also I have a youtube channel where you can watch me draw some of this stuff, I would really appreciate it if you subscribe if you like what you see.
