any critique would be appreciated, though I doubt I'll be changing anything too drastic at this point. I just want this thing done :P

thanks dorsa! I doubt I'll finish that one though :)

another study: mirror-referenced speed-paint 1 hr. It was sunset and the light kept changing on me. It was a bit of fun experimenting with square brushes for this one

hahaha, nice cow. I think I have a few of those old assignments laying around somewhere. It'd be cool to see more like this.

here is a referenced speed-paint I did today. about 2 hours. I was mainly focussed on reproducing the lighting, and not as much the actual facial structures.

tried giving it a bit of a fantasy-coloring. the more I work on this, the more I'm not liking it.

im9today, I'm really liking those sketches. That platformer rocks

I'm not exactly satisfied with its proportions, but meh. I'll make a new thread for this if I decide to continue

EDIT: slight tweaks... and again... added reflected light

Better?

thanks for the crits guys, they really helped. In the process of this, I ended up losing my high-res version, so I doubt I'll continue much further. It was mainly a speed sketch.

ForgottenFigure: You were definitely right about the lats. I hope its more accurate now.

Quark: Yeah, I'm Indigo. I toned down the crotch-pod... I hope enough.

Josh: Thanks man :)

a quick sketch for the night. ForgottenFigure's stuff made me want to practice some anatomy. No references where used, however I probably should have.

robo-phibian WIP

Someone said it kinda looked like a frog. I somewhat agree. It was a refreshing dive into CG work which I've been neglecting. I wanted to give it a natural anatomic flow (to some extent) with various animals as inspiration. More progress to follow

Current Status:

I'm intending to keep this drawing very loose, with lots of straight lines/angles - not like my usual stuff. And yeah, the hands are a bit wack right now. I'll fix it.

photoshop painted over a pencil sketch:

not sure if I'll take it any further
