8 Baller's Art Stuff

Hi all. Figured I'd create a place to post any CoX themed stuff I do. I tend to lock onto a theme and work in waves, so I apologize for the seemingly random nature I'm sure this may take.

First up I wanted to do a Timms Study. I chose Yellow Jasmine as the subject. I've featured her in art before but this is her more evolved, more evil look.

It's mainly a study in proportions and linework, but I hope you enjoy.



Thanks,
Todd

Thanks, she was a quickie but I think she turned out ok.

Great picture!

Generally, the proportions look good, except for arm-length vs torso length. However, comic-style drawings can forgive a lot. Still, check your own anatomy - elbows reach the ribcage, wrists reach around crotch-level, usually less... so this figure is either the victim of odd perspective, or her arms reach her knees? Tough to get everything in just the right proportion and still looking good, but when you do, then it looks real!

Be Well!

Thanks for the feedback. One thing to keep in mind is that's is a study on a Timms stylization and not textbook anatomy. He tends to elongate most of his female characters which may account for lengthed the arms.

Personally, I agree, they may still be a tad long even with the style but that's why I drew her, just to get a feel of it.

Good eye.

She looks great
Only possible nitpick is her neck looks kinda long.

Time to learn some more...so I figured I'd run through an ImagineFX workshop and post my progress as it goes. (Should be interesting...one way or the other).

The character, another of my villains (seems almost a theme), her name is Battitude. She's a fire corruptor so don't be surprised if this one has a lot of warm tones in there.



Next step...gray scale value painting.

Nice, reminds me a bit of one of my newest ideas of a character! So that means it's even more awesome! Also, I'm one of those players that actually LIKE the witchtop.

Thanks for the comments all. Yeah I admit, I'm a fan of the bat butt.

Ok, so here's step 2 a rough value painting.

Made a couple of tweeks. Not really thrilled at the moment, but we'll see where it goes.



Since I went with the 'wind blown hair' look I really need to do something to accent the motion of the bats flying around her.

The face and the proportions are really impressive on this one 8baller <^.^> The fire is likewise quite good imo. (I have trouble whenever I try to draw anything semi-translucent like you have the fire here, so I'm impressed!)

8Ball, love your stuff, always have. The monochrome look of Battitude is lovely, but I'm partial to B&W.

An idea to add movement... you have her hair blowing in wind... so should the fire. If all of it follows the motion of the bats (maybe trailing fire from the bats, a few embers/sparks with them) that could show their action?

Still a fantastic piece. Can I haz your skizzles?
