AndyPandy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 V2 (dunes softened): V3 (various changes): V4 (shaded character): Made for Mimesenior (request). I know the person is not that great, but it's my first drawn sig, so I think I'm doing ok. Any C/C? So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

Sam Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 The dunes would never be that sharp, try making them softer edged and more rounded, they look like mountains at the moment. The cl The person is looking fine, though I think a side-on view of the character with a little shading on the face would look better. I love the colours though, not too washed out :thumbup: Did you use a tablet, or a mouse to draw this piece? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jopie211 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It's not too bad for a first drawn signature, but there are still plenty of things to improve on. A few C/Cz0rz: Colour choice: could be worse, but especially the colours of the sky and sun make the drawing look slightly childish (although that's not really your fault since it's a desert scene). Try to use less saturated colours. Background: looks quite sloppy in general. The sand dunes should be more round-ish at the top (so more curved) and less pointy and mountain-like (like littleboy said). Also, the clouds seem quite unrealistic, try looking at some photos to get an idea of what they look like. And chunk of big yellow sun in corner = no win. :( The sun should be much lighter, almost white and it should be round and not stuck in a corner. Shadows: there are no cast shadows on the ground, which seems quite strange when there's such a big sun right next to everything... :wink: Text: kind of ruins it because of the placement, not very well readable either. I'd just make it a bit smaller, change its colour and stick it in a corner or something. Text can be evil. Your shading and character/monster aren't too bad though, just keep practising with this style of art. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPandy Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Made some of the changes you suggested Jopie. Rounded dunes a little. Added Shadows. Changed text. I don't want to change the clouds though, I want to keep the kinda 'cartoony' feel to it. After all, it's based on runescape, which isn't the most realistic game ever :) So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

Jopie211 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Definitely an improvement. :thumbup: I still think the dunes are at too much of an angle, though... :P Here's a reference picture, since it's quite hard to explain: [hide=Large image, be warned.][/hide] pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimesenior Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Awesome sig, and thanks. Some things: Could you make the character and dust devil a bit larger and make the name a darker colour? Would be greatly appreciated. Also make your name on it stand out a little, because it deserves it. :thumbsup: =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Stop using runescape as a reference, the person looks horrible because of that. At the very least you could use anime for a reference if you want easy to draw people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand_Hill Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 You will want to work on that text. It's almost impossible to see on the background. Good for your first drawn sig though. :) Try to work on human poses - the pose your character is in looks sort of...unnatural. I hope I don't offend you lol! Nice first sig, and good luck!

What they meant was that Runescape is a bad reference for anatomy. You'd be better off basing it from real life and things like anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilev Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 -i don't like either sun you used first is just lame, the other looks a little to much like the clouds -the guy isn't looking at the dust devil, just fling whip around looks awkward imo -have some kinna indication in color where the dunes start just looks awkward again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_u_s_ii_X Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 The suns a bit odd.
