Quote:Usually on the rare cases I want feedback I definitely ask. Most of the time I'm just sharing stages to show the progress of the piece. I don't mind if people comment, I can't stop someone from commenting, and I will try and listen to comments, as in your cases some of the things you mentioned were very helpful.Originally Posted by Suichiro
It's fine if you don't want feedback on your stuff, but I'm genuinely baffled as to what the purpose of posting the WIP is then. If I didn't want people to comment on a WIP, then I'd just post the final alone.
So I guess I owe you a thank you.

Quote:Wow am I glad yer not the client. I agree about the forearm bulge and maybe the eye width, the latter wasn't perfect to me. But the hair is an aesthetic choice, it's living, the hand differing from the other flat hand is intentional... I read somewhere that changing the movement of each appendage makes the eye bounce, and the final more "alive". While I agree about the balancing, I had drawn it flat and didn't like it.Originally Posted by Suichiro
I would suggest lowering the face on the head a bit more, as she's lost the majority of her forehead and hairline. Her eyes are still a bit far apart, giving her a bit of an alien look. Her ponytail should be directly behind her, since she's looking at the camera straight on and the hair trails that come from her sideburn area should be equal in length as well. Her chin is pointing to the camera right, so that needs to be evened out with the left side.
The fuzz on her shoulders is uneven, with the camera right side being much even with her shoulder, while the camera left side is noticeably higher. Her camera left forearm is also bulging too much, making it look non-congruent with the rest of her body's flow. The hand on that side should also be more flat on the ground, as it's very difficult to pull your palm upwards when the arm is pushing downwards on the ground. It's a stress position that opposes the more relaxed mood of the pose.
Both feet appear like they're pointed straight down into space. The only way that can work is if she's floating. Otherwise the tip of her boot toes would be pointed towards the camera a bit, to account for the perspective.
The uneven plant "fuzz" is also an aesthetic choice, I saw that the shoulder pieces were made with 1 large piece and 2 smaller side ones, and felt stylizing them would make them look less like a costume, and more organic. Details to the "planty-ness" of them will be added in the color render stage.
As for the feet, probably one of the main things I did not change from the reference, as they are one of my least favorite things to draw. So while they appear flat, the rendering will explain where the toes are.
Also the forehead and hairline are very short on this toon, you can ask the player. I know the face is not in the same perspective, but again artistic license, I can draw the top of her head, but decided not to... my reference model had considerably more hair, and I only used her eyes to create the face here, everything else is stylized from the original toon's reference given to me by the client. As for evening out the chin, I like the pronounced look of it on one side, maybe she has a bad molar from her childhood.
I think some slight imperfections are acceptable...
My last line of defense is simply this... the client ordered this several months ago at a bulk rate of 6 pieces for what I would charge for a single piece... on the given that the final would only be from the waist up (possibly without limbs - see gallery here), as it was part of a portrait promo. Having come back to keep my end of the bargain, I decided to make up for his wait with a full figure piece, in hopes that it might make him happy.
While I appreciate the crit as a means of being helpful, I do have my own reasons for working the way I have... if that's okay?

Thank you Gentlemen... here is the closely cropped ink, color will have to wait till either late late tonight or tomorrow. But I am really liking my work on this one... edit: made the eyes smaller, raised the eyebrows, aligned the head with the chest and neck, and made it slightly larger, also added the ponytail.

Hey! Nobody said you were giving out cookies?!!! Curse you Bubbawheat!!!

Love when Graver goes digital, not that his w/c's aren't the best... just fun to see him play.

I'm really enjoying this one, I hope it shows... gotta great photo reference for the pose (which I altered here and there) and am looking forward to inking this up... okay back to work.

Very nice, there's an actual company out there, I forget the name that will make it for you, but I think you have to order in a volume of 100 so it comes out to like over a grand. But you could go old school and do it yourself since you've come this far... Are you using your Manticore figurine as a player piece? Or are you forming your own from Sculpty?
Are you planning to do a COV version as well? -
Neat... now I know who this person is... I had saved the CB piece to my DA account, cause I always follow his work. Congrats on the budding collection... no pun intended.

Thank you sir, here she is... DONE!

Thanks Vex, here are the flats, off to render...

Thanks Vex, yer so supportive! Alas the Kobolt piece will have to wait until I am done with 8 more pieces, this being next up, a commission for Shadow Ghost of a toon called, "Fan Service Girl".

Busy little bugger, isn't he? Come back Alex, come back...

I've thought of doing this as well... not so much for the client, though that would be interesting, but more so for other artists. Btw, your link isn't working.

Well, if no one's taken the last spot, I do have a couple Burnt Matchsticks without any art yet. Notably my dominator (see sig), though if that spot has already been filled privately, don't worry about it.

These are just the flats, gotta step out for some errands, but will be coloring this asap... suffice to say, I was lying on my face in front of Frostfire, when Gaderath popped up on Chat to taunt me and welcome me back. So I asked if she possibly had a toon nearby that could come whack him and rescue me... she did, she whacked him, and I got the mission over with... so this is my very appreciative response, unbeknown-st to her... Thanks again Gad, you rock!!!

Hey,
Recently been wondering about a Traps Defender and having hit the mid 20s have been fiddling with builds. On the whole there some good build advice on the forums here but I was more just looking for some 'functional' opinions on some powers if anyone has any input on the following...
Current Defender: Traps/Sonic (/Power)
- Caltrops/Web Grenade: Ive seen most build use caltrops for slowing and/or fear-mitigation; but I've been considering web grenade for the Immob and Rech Slow, and the purple IO chance for hold eventually. Is there a definitive one way or the other on these two?
- Triage Beacon: Is there a lot of use for this in general/team play? Ive yet to try it slotted to the full 300% bonus but it seems most of the time while I like the idea of it ...it gets left behind and mostly unused due to teams moving fast or small groups. Is the regen noticible/decent at 300%?
- Seeker Drones: I've been using these for a bit and still can't decide if I really like them all that much or not. How useful are they at higher levels/slotted reasonably?
- Siren's Song/Time Bomb/Dreadful Wail: I've been tossing the idea around in my head of having these powers for compound entertainment value. Though on teams I cant see using/setting it up.
The idea being to Sleep a spawn, place the timebomb, then Amplify(+PBU) and Dreadful Nuke. Resulting in the 20s -Res and damage being applied just before the timebomb explodes. Would this actually work the way Im thinking? Would it be overkill/pointless realtive to a Amp+PBU'd nuke anyway?
Thanks for any info you guys/gals have. -

Having caught up on 43 episodes of Burn Notice, I just made my Michael Weston character and am enjoying the guns... can't wait to have more powers and cooler ammo.
