Artist's Comments
First of all, let me point out this was a paint-over. The reference I used was adonihs's "Just a Grunt" piece. Before anyone claims I ripped, I already got permission to do it. You can view the much nicer original here:
[link] Now, while I did use adonihs work early on to get the line art, basic color layout for the marine, and ideas for lighting, I didn't use it as a crutch. After getting the basic components of the character down, it was pretty much all me. Anyways, I didn't even mean for this to turn into a real, finished piece...I originally was just going to do a simple paint-over to get coloring practice but it came along so good I decided to submit it. You can tell parts I rushed and parts I spent too much time on. If some of the lines seem sketchy, its because it was done by mouse which is damned hard to draw straight, even lines with. All drawn by mouse in PS, around 10 hours. Hope you enjoy...and make sure you check out the original! -3143 |

it's very good and since it isn't an original piece of yours then basically i see it as you showing off exactly what your skill level is in terms of painting and the stuff.
you've nailed a lot of stuff and it looks great but there are also lots of little things like lighting and texturing which i assume just require practice to get better. (this coming from no master of those two things...)
and yeah... dude, a mouse? that must be really annoying to use, although i guess you'd be very used to it by now.
Its weird, Ive started doodling more in my spare time with pencil and paper and it actually makes the mouse feel more...normal? I think somethings wrong.
Thanks a ton for the comment(s), even if you're a bit incoherent.

But I missed the best part, could we please go back to start?
Thanks for, you know, giving me some credit on this one. I was worried that when i posted it everyone was going to be all 'OMG tracer you suck draw your own shit!!' and not even comment on the work. So, thanks for actually commenting.
And wtf is your avatar?
