The artist in thee

Alright! I updated with the first stage sketch version of it!
And now you get to see the final coloured version!

Feast your eyes!

I was originally gonna make him a beserker, considering he IS a bear (It's hard to tell with the silver furr and the hood, but he is) But I thought it's just too much of a typical move "Make the big guy a beserker!" So instead I opted to make him an assassin.

Don't try and think too much about his weapons, just keep in mind though, that it's all supported by a system of tendons.

Besides that I also went for a different shading style (using the inking for shading aswell) I figured it'd help set the mood/style a bit more.

I only have one complaint. The legs look a little awkward. There's just something a little bit off about the length and positioning of them. I feel like the one that's in front should be further back and vice versa.
BEAR POWER!

I do believe you might have a point there, the perspective does seem a little off with his legs...
I mean the length was just a weird little nod to the idea that bears back legs aren't very long, but the awkwardness with the perspective is definately there.

I'll see what I do about fixing that.

But now he just looks off-balance, kind of.

But now he just looks off-balance, kind of.

He's leaning back, Raising arm, kinda like blocking, I don't bother making people just stand still in my pictures, they have to be doing something.
So he's either stepping back because he's bracing for an impact or he's leaning back because he's gonna snap back with his extend-o-claw... thing.

It was only a quick fix, like a literal, "cut it off make it smaller, put it in place" jobby.

If I had enough time I'd really fix it, but for me that works.

Here's a new one I'm pretty proud of:

Spoiler: Landing it is the hard part.

ViolentlyHappy91 took the original photo that I got the pose from.

Okay.
Whatever works for you. I'll just pretend he's recoiling in fear or something, maybe.

It's up for interpretation, hell you could even say he genuinely lost his balance. xD

A Couple of things I did.

I here by resurrect this thread... because it's cool.

It's not really resurrection if the last post was two hours before yours...

Oh... I remembered seeing this thread a couple of months ago and hadn't seen it since.
Fail :,(

wow....well done!

If drawings and poetry are considered art, how do people feel about photography? I used to draw a lot, but my tools are now worth a lot more than pastels and pencils!

I'd share a few if people consider photography art!

EDIT: Also, how do I add spoilers?

EDIT 2: Never mind, I figured it out!

 

[Dark assassin for hire]

sorry I can't post any pictures mostly... I don't do computer art (most of the time) and I don't take pictures of my art. some day though, I might do some cpu or take pictures of my work and post them.

Photography is perfectly fine. I think we've had some photography already from multiple users. Man, what is considered art is a discussion I'm not willing to go into right now because I have too much to say and no conclusive answer. Photography is definitely art to me, so long as its not drunk facebook shots you took with your friends.

I understand exactly what you mean. I don't take pictures of any of my physical artwork because I feel that the impact of them is completely destroyed by not actually seeing them in the flesh. If you ever do want to post anything though, we'll be here. I'll look forward to it.

Very well done, particularly on the actual human. Is the kerrek (or whatever you called them) supposed to be the same person as the human above them?
Are they falling or just awesome at jumping?

I like to write what I think of as poetry, but I've never known too much about poetry so have never had an idea as to its quality.

I also tentatively admit to not knowing how to do that "spoiler" format, so I'll just have to post it in message.


"Fragmented light slithers through cracked parapets
Into hollowed vaults full of nothing
Faceless mannequin cries
And light seeps through crooked eyes half shut

Walls breath
And seeth
And ebb the edge of sanity
A world of two skies brakes into halves
One forms a moon
The other a sun
Eyes wide open hear scented truths

Ten thousand flies birth ten thousand maggots
That feast in darkness on slithering light
Surrounded by cold comforts of whispering walls
A burning temple offers sanctuary
Blistering eyes are drawn into the new rising sun

Walls suffocate
And corroding wings of flies burst into glimmering ash
The mannequin's rusted flesh melts off blackened bones
Light blinds the eyes enthralled by the sun"


I like to write a lot of poetry, I've also been working on an "epic" which is many pages long already, so I won't post that here too
