Smoke Signal - WIP

Hi guys & gals, I need your help on this. I've been using my SG leader's toon for sketch practice and after a week's work it is at least acceptable to me. (My other sketches are ugly.) However, there is something wrong about this pic but I can't tell what it is. Could someone point it out to me and tell me how to correct it?

Thanks.

BTW, I still have not decided what Smoke is sitting or stepping on.

For what its worth, I think the legs are disproportionately large compared to the rest of the body. Actaully the left leg (his left) looks fine but there's something not quite right with the foreshortening on the right leg.

Also, the right bicep needs to be pushed forward away from the trunk and foreshortened along with the forearm. The right hand looks disconnected and just lying on his knee.

Having said that I must say I like the pose and overall style of the piece.

The eyes are too low on the face, even for the anime-ish style.

Hmm...legs too large, body looks wierd, arms disconnected, eyes too low.
Anything else?

Necron posting time!

So after I finished BAS's pic for the moment, I picked up this pic and reworked it again. Initally I draw a solo pic for Smoke, but he & his wife E said there were some likeable man-whoreness in it. I freaked out listening to their comment and said I shall draw Smoke surrounded with girls if E said yes.

And she did, if only she was one of them.

I would like the final pic to be a three page spread, but one step at a time. So here is what I've done the past week, Smoke surounded by E's three toons.
SmokeSignal's Fantasy

Enjoy. Critic. Flame. Volunteer?

Volunteer? Like, you're looking for more female characters to put in the picture? Because if that's the case, you can feel free to use either Frosty or Flaming Femme. If that wasn't what you were asking, then feel free to ignore this post.


your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

No one has to ask me to volunteer my characters. Just click on the (as of yet to be updated) link in my signature. Of course, this is only assuming that that is what (s)he was asking.

Oh yes, I am asking for volunteers to fill up the pages. There are still 2 pages to draw, which means another 6 to 10 girls needed.

But since it is a "fantasy" pic, you knew how I will draw your toons, no?

Of course I know! Why do you think I rolled up a female character in the first place?

I love how its looks, but the legs look kind of odd...maybe once you add something to sit on it will look better. I advise a pile of dead catgirls. Or maybe a throne. Whatever floats your boat.

the women sitting (at the bottom of the pic) looks great! i dont no what it is about her but my eye was kinda drawn to her. looks like a very good start!

Hey, if you need volunteers, then feel free to use any of my girls. Britannia, Warfox and Invincibelle are always available for art projects. There is plenty of reference art in my sig.

Well, you can pick from any of my females, with possibly the exceptions of Dark ObsCure, Kuchibeni Resubian and Lesbith's Handmaiden as those three girls play for the other team. There may be a few more but I haven't identified them yet. Oh, and Personamorphess. And Mistress Obscura. All of the other ladies should be fair game.

For having been working on a piece with Invincibelle as a subject, she would be my pick ... with all her costume problems ...

And if the name Belle gets you ... then you could use the female side of my twin duo
Belle B. Bell
if not I always have the hot Chemical Fire

That is (I'm pretty sure anyway! ), Ele's main, Electraflame, in anime form! I love it too, really captures her personality in a style I hadn't even thought about. Easily my favorite of the three depicted. You can see her in traditional comic book style here along with her alt, Crimson Crone (who should be the deviant looking lady to the left in NPG's wonderful piece. )

And yay for volunteers! I promise to be gentle!

Heh heh. I promise it won't be made of tissue paper. But a few holes here, a few inches short there, that should be expected.

What? Have I not told you the pic is SmokeSignal's fantasy?
