Here we go. For Mrs_Emma_Peel:

Gravastar

This is actually the third version I went through. Finally got the pose right on this one.

Right, Speedster's up next.

Emma_Peel, your drawing is *finally* done. It'll be up tomorrow.

Speedster is next, then whiteperegrine.

Thanks a ton for posting this, had a tip I needed for an upcoming pic.

I'm up for it. Hell, I'll even ink and color it. Would this be one person or a group?

Errrrr...everything guitar in there is by me EXCEPT the very last part of the first solo, which was way too fast for me. That part is the song playing, as I didn't bother filling it with any of my own riffs.

I still think the end product's okay. I'd rather make songs in the future that I know I can do beginning to end.

I guess he doesn't have worms, Star.

Too bad.

Is...is he crying lightning?

Let's RAWK!!!

Bark at the Moon --Guitar by myself

Okay, crappiness aside, at least I have the Nintendo conferences to look forward to on Thursday.

I'm going to make a recording of Bark at the Moon anyway because I feel I should at least show you guys. I'll probably leave out the two parts I biff on.

Drawing queue is as follows:
1. Mrs_Emma_Peel
2. Striking_Speedy
3. whiteperegrine

I'm always accepting new requests for free.

I think the Vicious Circle needs more recognition. It doesn't have the oomph the other one does.

That audition went great.

Sitting doesn't = standing so half the song was foreign to me, I choked on the fast solo parts like I thought I would, and the emo kid who played two chords the whole song and did *not* have an on-key singing voice got more applause than me. He got little. I got none.

Blah. I'd rather produce crap at home. That way I can edit it.

<Starting artist prod>
Yeah, but he could do better than that if he worked at it.

So..frigging close...just need to perfect the solos. >_<

You're telling me that for that pic you used MS Paint, another program, and your mouse?

Jeeeeeez. That's like me trying to play Eruption by Van Halen on a piece of dental floss.

It looks kinda blurry, IMO. Is there a higher res version?

Check out Help --> Tutorials. Some good beginning stuff in there.

Not bad for a first-timer, eh?

My brain's kinda mushy today from practicing BatM all day. Same plan tomorrow. All I need now is to get the solos down. I'll hopefully be able to record a version for you guys tomorrow.

You're using a pc tablet and Photoshop for this?

Jeez, you caught on quick with this. >_<

Been messing around in Poser:
Check it out.

Actually, the way the drawing is, the horizon line would have to go at his right kneecap. You're looking at him dead-on, and the only way to be looking from above is to change the character's image.

Great stuff, Star.

Thanks, Pep.

To all you rockers, musicians, and guitar-shredders out there, you'll probably love this: www.guitarshredshow.com

Be sure to check out the jam on that site. Really fun stuff.

*Goes back to practicing BatM on Fender* Gonna need it for Tuesday.

Syrus, would you mind if I used TA's kid sister for a pic?

A regular Pentel .5 mechanical pencil with .5 lead. Sometime use Derwent series sketch pencils, depending on whether I'm going to shade the piece or not.

Erasers I'm unsure about, I just use the ones that twist out of the mechanical pencil. Can never get enough of those. I have an Artgum block, but I wouldn't recommend it as I rarely use it. I should probably get a kneaded eraser.

Any paper works for me. It's usually plain sketchpad paper.

Getting a small wooden manikin you can pose should help a bit. They don't pose fully, but they helped me learn human proportions early on, and help with some miscellaneous angle work.

Grab a ruler for the more complicated stuff that requires straight lines, too.

Danke for the support.
