APERSON Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Kind of sickly looking, but I guess you're going for that Aeon Flux kind of look no? Looks good, I like it so far...

Echofish Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 He's looking a bit pear-shaped since the waist it looking very thin compared to the lower half of his body. Ultra Unholy,Hearted Machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb21 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 jopie: the next update is likely to be it finished... i generaly do things in blocks as for the comments about the sorta thin waist and that, um yes, i agree. one of the main problems i feel is the chest is rather small in this pic, meaning that the rest of the torso was also fairly thin, and then i sorta did 'normal' anatomy and proportions on the lower half making it look rather weird. but i do often exagerate a bit, you will find nearly off of my pics of people have very thin waists.

APERSON Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 It's reminiscent of old aeon flux cartoons. Why should we buy postage stamps when we can make our own?aperson being Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb21 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 It's reminiscent of old aeon flux cartoons. ah i see what you mean, really thin waist however the shoulders arnt as big as in your image :XD: that said i think this person (mine) could do with bigger shoulders, or rather a bigger chest, the line going up from the hip on the persons left hand side, shoiuld really be slanted the other way. but im to far to change that, it would require a rework of about a quarter of the image.... which for a random piece im not in the mood for (we need a shrug emoticon) PJB21 100% my own work, i make my own brushes: set 1 set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo_killer6 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 He looks a little anarexic (sp?). Other than that his feet look a little blocky. Oh and that skirt is like way too short especially for a guy :-w . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdavies90 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 ^^ yeah i agree, make the skirt a bit longer, make the calves less exaggerated, at the moment they are waaay out of proportion with the rest of his body, other than that its good Sig by me....

Jopie211 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Love the finished version. You have a unique style, other than most other pixel artists.(Yes, that's including me! :anxious: ) Good job, I'd love to see more of your work soon. :D pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo_killer6 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Looks good the only thing that's really bothering me about the finished one is the jaggedness of the two whips. Maybe you could AA them to make them smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could AA them to make them smoother. i know that did cross my mind as i was near finishing, tbut then i though.... if i do that ill have to do more, you canyt just AA one thing and its a relativly big image, and i wasnt in the mood to AA it all, its only really a spur of the moment thing... but thanks for the imput, i may do that some time....

Punc Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 That looks great, love the shading, especially the legs. The straight line on his right upper arm, right above the elbow, looks abit funny thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terley Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I don't think that exageration of a slender figure used in Aeon Flux is supposed to be used for both sexes, I personally would exagerate a male differently but an interesting approach non the less. I've made a quick edit on some area's, not 100% anatomically correctly on the shading side but off the top of my head I've tried to make some changes to improve the depth. It's ok to use various shades for your linework also, it helps your shading alot sometimes. Keeping it the same all over can just give the illusion your image is flat with 3D within the linework. I do really like this, it looks pretty solid finished but I think you have the challenge of applying the last touches ahead of you. It seems as if you settled on your shading placement right away when you could of been constantly altering it until it looks what you intended. The face is puzzling, personally a bit hard to read but it definately suits, legs looks pretty good and your initial anatomy studies seemed to really pay off, very nice proportions for an exagerated character. You seem to be learning well. keep it up :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb21 Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 thanks fr all the comments and advice, expecialy thanks to terley terley: i see you used greater contrast and higher sat, both fine, however it means dithering, while i can do that i prefer not to cos im stubbon, then then i guess i may not advance if i dont try various techniques... the comment about linework was something i hadnt really given much thought to before, ill try than in my next piece (when ever that is) as for the shading i was editing it a bit, and some parts i couldnt really get to look right (for example the top of the leg just below the skirt, where theres the challenge of the shdow from the skirt, while the the shading of the leg. thanks for all the help and coments =D yeah, i know he is rather skinny, my fault really i should have noticed when i was drawing the anatomy stage (i do stick man (for pose) rough anatomy (for well... anatomy, proportions and structure) clothing, colours, shading, text) yeah, its quite early on so easier to change, i guess i should keep an eye out for any mistakes earlier, im always spotting then later into the pic (generaly shading) and its a real nightmare then... its been good to do this piece, ive lernt quite a few things which i shall take into account, or just try better to remember... heh any suggestions for a follow up?

xxxShade Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I think if you exagerrating a male figure the top of his body should be larger because of where guys carry their center of gravity as opposed to towards the hips of a female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
