It was night time when you messaged and I was sleeping. Please tell me whne you come back online.

Well as I decided to draw the characters, it took an hour or two. Two. I usually don't go under 100k and a note under sig would be appreciated :wink: If it's too steep for your budget I must excuse.

Just watched the episode today and decided to give it a go. I drew the elephant, cheff and pig but used a BG from the show. Do I win?

Just a quick one...or two. I will make a higher resolution version without background if I win. :)

Posture is perhaps a little messed up. Seems like it is falling on it's back. Pretty amazing.

I'd say that there is too little contrast with the text and the apple. (not a great fan of the apple anyhow :? ). The edges of the font are jagged. But I like the BG. Nice looking tech stuff! :wink:

A crying orc? Come on Jab, you are ruining the reputation of the whole species! :lol: looking good. :wink:

Thats from a game... cant remember which one :roll: That's from the Call of Duty. Has a bunch of good quotes when you die. "Death of a man is a tragedy, death of millions is a statistic."

Figured out how to put in bigger foxes and make em red! VoilÃÆÃâÃâá better?

The Orc drawing is a bit old. Actually posted it back in scapeboards. The foxheads are made in 600x400 pixel size with "fake vectors" (filled paths). I wish they would fit in bigger. http://www.elias.pietila.fidisk.fi/orcish.jpg there's the orc picture in full size. (old version).

It has 2 fox heads..on the corners. Ahh well..

Finally a competition that seeks for a drawing that isn't forced to be pixel. (and a competition that won't go for stolen images). I'm definately in. Here's my entry. Tell me what you want changed. After playing with some settings. I think I a bit over did it. I'll fix the name if I win. :wink:

More like making them for all other browsers than IE. I have Safari and .pngs work like a charm. Not my style of signatures. Though I think they are better than some grunge sigs seen here.

Ohh, loving the colours and those little details in the grass. Very nice job!

Well I'm totally sure you are wrong. He uses PSP for everything and has stated he doesn't make pixels in other programs as he needs layers. On top: Pretty nice pixel sigs for first time. Too bad they look traced.

Yeh WC3 oriented (lots of pointless stuff). Thanks for mentioning the text Keiph :wink: and thanks Froth (heh...it cecored when I typed F and K)! Pretty much all the problems pointed out boil down to me being bad with lineart. I strugled to make it look anything resembling a human. Compared to the scetching the coloring was a breeze (though a looong taking one). If anyone wanted to colab and give me lines to work on I'd be interested. :wink:

Thanks for compliments (especially MxM since you are a kickass drawer!)! Anyone interested to have a sig from it? :lol: :wink:

It's done in 5 layers. One with solid base colours...blue, grey, gold and cream. Then 3 layers for primary shading. A color dodge layer filled with black...finger paint with white on it. A color burn layer filled with white...finger paint with black on it. A linear burn layer filled with white...finger paint with black on it. Then after those steps I made one multiply layer and used soft airbrush to make some soft shadowing. The fills in the layers are important to get vivid results.

Considering a knight wears probably a layer of clothing, possibly a chainmail and ontop the plate he looks pretty thin. One shouldn't also forget that an armour set can weight about 70kgs so it takes quite a man to carry it. Not for the smallest or thinnest.

Please stick to English. It's against the rules to speak other langues untranslated. (or if you are having a private conversation try using the PMs). (ooh, I'd love to be a mod...not) It's pretty gross actually and has nothing to do with the medium called "sig". Try again perhaps, or try something different... :roll:

Thanks guys. I guess you mean the right hand Teenage. Yep, it's too long. I was planning to shorten it after merging but then I had added the cloth behind it, so I passed it. Perhaps later.

I got an urge to draw a knight after seeing the dragon fella posted here a while ago. This doesn't perhaps match its quality but I'm rather pleased. The ones saying the shading is off, don't bother this time. I know it already. I went for some "edge" instead of realism. The knight has some noticable issues with legs and the shield but after working hours on it I feel too exhausted to do them again. The background is the one i worked on, nothing more and it is not supposed to be a "piece" by itself. I can perhaps make a signature based on it for someone willing to pay quite a big pile of gold. :wink: And no, it is not an Runescape armor and not trying to be. (though it looks a bit like gold trimmed blurite). CC is welcome, offers on signature also.

ooh. Great loooking so far. Nice technique for the hair, looking authentic there. Awaiting for you to finish. :wink:

Thanks for compliments and yes, it's supposed to be ice. The highest bid 100k won't make it. If anyone can offer 200k, that's another ball game (I know this style isn't "hip", but it take some time and 200k isn't too much). And most of all I'd like comments and CC. What should I improve? or add?

He surely can hack to your computer and open the image. NOT! Perhaps try hosting it on the web. (sorry mate, leaving your shop now).
