Aeriath Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hey, I'm making a full dragon pixel, I have the top half done, but the legs are really peeving me. I just can't seem to get them: Updated2 Updated Original He will be in the air, kicking an abyssal demon, but I need anyone to give me a reference for the legs? C&C welcome too. Curse you Nomad!

MD666 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Nice, btw if you want it accurate don't forget that the edges of the sheild are wood and the dragon emblem is grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna be trying this for ages :D Curse you Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Sorry to doublepost, but I updated it. My monitor is a bit weird atm, so I apologise if the colours are off. Thanks for the pics Terley. MD666, all the ref pics I can find of the sheild show me no edging (I added it ause I thought it would look stupid without edging), and the dragon is black on all the ones I've seen. Do you have a specific pic that you were refering to? Curse you Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazardmaster Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Thats pretty nice... But isnt the shield a little to horizontal ? (dont know how u say it) Small? Thin? I agree. Otherwise, nice. How long'd that part take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 I fixed the sheild. Update is in the first post :D I'm gonna start working on the abby demon now. EDIT:: It took me about 2 hours I reckon. Time flies when you are ill :evil: Curse you Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_bahumat Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Nice, tho i believe the reason you "can't get the legs" is because ur toon has legs which are the same length as his chest, way out of proportion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Nice, tho i believe the reason you "can't get the legs" is because ur toon has legs which are the same length as his chest, way out of proportion That was posted before I posted the first update. I think the technical term is foreshortening, but I have never taken any art classes. Any advice? Sorry for no update, been REALLY ill lately. I'll try to post one later. Curse you Nomad!

np_tyler Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Here's a couple things that could be changed: 1) The dragon chain looks like dragonhide, not chainmail. 2) The feet and legs need work, but you know that. 3) The shield is too far down, so I'm not sure how it's staying on his arm. 4) What kind of sword/weapon is that? 5) He doesn't have a mouth... Anyway, looks pretty good so far. Get well soon! - Np Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, there's not enough to tell 5) I guess, but you should still see at least a line - Np Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Been ill, and working on the TIP IT city pixel, but I got around to pointing out some things based on some comments: The yellow arrows are the light, I figured that's how it would fall. Green, is stuff I plan to correct. And he doesn;t have a mouth or a bread, I was hoping someone would point out that he had a facemask on: Curse you Nomad!

np_tyler Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 It still looks more like a beard to me. I think that it would look more like a facemask if it was tan, not brown. - Np Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 I suppose, I'll add that to my list of fixes. Curse you Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Right, it's been a while (pixel cities keep drawing me in) but here is an update: C&C please, also need ideas on how to spruce up the bg. Curse you Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venomai Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Unfortunately all your major problems are with the proportions, anatomy, and perspective. As a suggestion I'd say you should start simple and try to sketch out your pieces beforehand, especially for complex drawings like the human figure, and especially when it's in such a difficult pose. Get some critiques on it and fix it up before starting on the rest. Just remember to work with baby steps, and don't take any dangerous leaps (ie: detailing before you've finished linework). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriath Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 Sorry Emon, I'm making it for a friend who is aiming for 85 slayer (83 atm, I better hurry up lol). Thanks for the critique venomai. I like to sketch things out beforehand, but the lack of a scanner is a problem. I'm getting a graphics tablet soon (7 days!!!!!!!) but I think scaners are better for this kind of thing. Can you recommend any sites so I can work on anatomy? As a side note, I wubs your Dumbledore theory :mrgreen: Curse you Nomad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
