Whos up for some art trades!

Blade_of_Canada · 08-31-2006 12:05 PM

I am a VERY novie artist, and I think I need some practice. I also think it would be cool to have a couple of my characters drawn. The solution? Art trades! An example of my noobish work can be found here:
Sythius by Me

Btw, that is just a sketch. I have very little experience with inking and coloring (read: basically none). So unless you ask for more, I'll probably just do a sketch like above.

Now that thats aside, here is my character.

Cpt. Alpha - Front
Cpt. Alpha - Back
Cpt. Alpha - Close up front

So, if you wanna do an art trade, leave a post and ill get back to ya as soon as I can!

Bump. My art does suck, but come on

Blade_of_Canada · 09-03-2006 01:14 PM

Alright, no one is biting on Cpt. Alpha, so maybe if I change that character, that will work. You can still draw Cpt. Alpha though, I would love that

Presenting... Shock Razer!

The image is a bit low quality, but decent enough to see his features. I would accept even a sketch of either of these characters, Shock or Cpt. Alpha.

I would, but I have no scanner access... so... sorry.

I can hardly see your drawing, so, that means, even if there was someone out there who wanted their character done by you they wouldn't know it. Try rescanning or inking then scanning your piece. Maybe you'll get a bite.

Inking is an excellent idea; another thing that I do personally is...

When you scan it in, your scanner might have options to Darken the picture - I highly recommend doing so >.< it'll darken everything - but at least the lines will show up!

Good luck! I'd be up to try, except I'm doing work kinda 'on my own' right now. Think of it as standing under a waterfall... made of pencils >.>

I'll give it a shot! (I can see it) And... would you like him in a certain pose? Or just like that? And, if you want... what kind of power sets does he have... I'm guessing elec... :P

Hey StrayBullet22 - hurray for Art Trades!

Unfortunely, I'm neck deep in real-life work, and with two other COH characters in progress, time's a little tight - BUT I couldn't resist taking a smidgen of time out to scribble something for you (hope this works):

Really rough sketch of Captain Alpha

Quick cleanup trace on vellum

Its still very rough, but Hey - if someone else out there wants to take this rough and run with it for a collaboration - be my guest!

Your other character "ShockRazor" looks pretty nifty, too - but as I say, my time is pretty tight right now.

If you still want to draw one for me, Stray, here's my new guy:
Zir Kohl - Natural Controller - Ice/Storm Summoning

Blade_of_Canada · 09-04-2006 06:26 AM

Thanks to both of you. And Wunder, he is an elec/elec brute, how'd ya guess? And you can choose a pose, I find the one in the picture kind of boring. I think a pose "that makes him look powerful" would be cool. And thanks Zobragos for the sketch, it kicks [censored], cool pose. Ill start drawing your character asap.

But...

But....

I have nothing to trade though!

Blade_of_Canada · 09-04-2006 07:00 AM

I guess ill do it three ways, maybe to get more people going. Ill do trades, ill draw for people in exchange for nothing (if they don't have anything to trade), and vice versa, you can still draw for me if you don't want any of my lame art Ill try to do TA when I finish Zir Kohl (scanner is weirding out). How could I have forgotten TA?

Woot!!

Ty ty!

and your art isn't lame!

Blade_of_Canada · 09-04-2006 07:27 AM

Btw, last night when I didn't expect anyone to want to draw me, I decided to draw myself, just to see how it came out. Anyways, here is my drawing of Cpt. Alpha
I think its a better drawing then the first one I drew. Anyways, Im done with Zir Kohl, i just gotta get my scanner working properly, shouldn't take long.
