I see what you're saying Saph, a shade line between the dress and skin will sort that i think Dee

That's very nice DD, the shades of red in the dress are really rich, makes the whole piece look very classy. Great stuff

Hey! Wot choo on about Willis! They are cigs, 20 Benson and Hedges in a handy sash... no pockets see....

Heh, thanks for the feed back and yeah you're both right, they do look like cigs (i'm refraining from calling them ****...) i've forgotten to apply the highlight to the shells so they look really flat, but can soon fix that. As for my style DD, i don't think this is it. More of an experiment in lineart and cell shading, and also to try an anime style piece as it's a style i like when it's done well, don't think it really suits me though. As always i will finish it but i don't have a lot of passion for it really :/

Oh well... next

edit: oh, i see i've been bleeped for using the word ***, even tho it's what 60 million people in Britain call a cigarette... wonder if i can say Mitsubishi Pajero given it's meaning in Spanish...

yes i can...

cool, got it to work, cheers OminousVoice Although i seem to have lost the ncsoft/etc icons, might play with it a bit more...

K, so here's my first attempt at cell shading my Takeshi lineart. I'm fairly happy with it considering i'm learning as i go, but obviously i've got a lot to learn yet.

Nice work Hornet, really atmospheric

Hi guys, here's my latest arty creation. This is Takeshi Northstar, AR/Elec blaster, PPD officer and Mech pilot. This is my first attempt at producing a line art sketch. Not sure how i feel about it yet, it seems very amatuer to me, but prehaps once i put some colours on it it will come to life. I really don't know what i'm doing to be honest, don't know where the lining should be heavier or anything so i just kind of made it up. The mech has no heavy lining as it will be partially hazed in the background.

Going to attempt cell shading to colour it, something else i've never tried before, or even know what it is really, lol. The style itself is a change from my usual too, much more anime than my usual style. Oh well, gotta try these things

I really would be interested to hear any tips or advice on lineart sketching and cell shading, infact on any arty subject really, lol. Specifically lineart and cell shading though, as i say this is totally new ground for me.

Thanks for looking, and watch this space for the colours

Hi, thought it'd be cool to try and participate in this as much as i can. Can't promise every month, but here's one for this month .


Dr Moran's Horrors



(click for fullsize)

For those that don't know, this is my Necro/Time MM.

Dr Moran is a scientist beyond his time, literally. The year is 1899 and Dr Moran has finally built a working version of his time gauntlets, a steam driven, clockwork time machine in a glove! But that is not his only interest. Dr Moran has been working on another project behind his colleagues backs, an unspeakable project, that of Necromancy! But in the first test of his time gauntlets, things go horribly wrong, not a jump of six hours, but instead Dr Moran finds himself in the year 2011, 112 years later then he had planned! Not risking another unpredictable jump with his malfunctioning gauntlets, Dr Moran instead risks his soul to raise the spirits of his long dead colleagues to help him rectify the problem...

Happy Halloween .

i know i dropped out early so i don't really count, but i enjoyed the months i was a part of this. Bubba, you're a star for taking this on, i wouldn't, lol. You made changes midway that caused a **** load of controversy, but you did it at every point so that more artists could participate in the comp, that's the right track imo? Salute and thanks for the opportunity to compete

Dyou do creepy horses in gas masks at all?

Had a look through your gallery, you've done some really great stuff there mate, one to watch imo

How about you give him an achilles heal of some sort, like he is all powerful but has no power over a certain group of people. So ingame he would either win or lose against mobs as normal, in your concepts eye tho, he'd lose because that particular enemy belonged to that group. I don't really know his bio but he looks quite necromancy/dark arts type, so maybe his weakness could be against people of a certain spiritual belief, or of a rare blood type, or born under a specific moon cycle, dunno, something like that.

i've been messing around with Leandro's CoHSplasher program but can't get it to work. Does anyone know if it's compliant with the NCSoft Launcher and i21?

That's nice work indeed, as are some of the other pieces on their DA page. totmoartsstudio2 has just gone on my watch list

no worries

anything like this?

my toxic mistress has favoured well from the barbarian set

prolly too rude for sensitive types...

Not so happy here, can't even log onto my own server! Public access to this server has been disabled?

This is just brilliant on every level of brilliance! And great idea on the techie-minded persona for CatBot (CR ), it's all good

Finally, a bit of a leap for me, a no reference piece. Ok, i had some reference, i was watching Dexter and got the idea from the way a woman was standing for a sec, I thought, that's a really cool pose, so 'Mercenary Trooper' was born... I did reference the rifle actually, and youtubed for the hands, can't do hands, but i'm happy with the face which is completely from scratch, she's not pretty, but she's a soldier!! I'm not sure this is finished actually, infact, i definately will be revisiting this.





All can be seen in full size at my DA page, hope you like cheers H.
