one of these days I'll finish an old project before starting a new one:

Show spoiler

no I won't.

[Reply #121 on:]

You are my hero.

[Reply #122 on:]

lol, glad you like it.

[Reply #123 on:]

Nice, SO!

[Reply #124 on:]

lol, glad you like it.

Haha sorry I'm just a huge spaceship fan and I especially love the PE ship.  Its an awesome blend of the classic rocket shape and the artificial gravity powered 'airplane in space' concept that turned out really well.  And your model looks very nice and accurate too.

I don't normally post pages from the graphic novel I'm working on, but as this new page is a re-draw of a draft I've already posted before I might as well. It almost killed me drawing this, 70+ hours on one A3 image. You can't make out all the detail in this photo, but you can see the improvements I've made from my draft to my final.

On the left it's my 2009 draft done on A4 in biro. On the right it's my 2010 best which I've just finished, done in pens, ink, and fine ink nibs...

Sir, your derangement dedication is impressive. Looking great!

[Reply #127 on:]

lol, thanx! Yeah I probably will be derranged once I've done 100 or so pages. Seeing as this is only the 6th page I've done in best so far...

[Reply #128 on:]

wow, trippy.  nice job!

[Reply #129 on:]

Those are very cool! I like how it's so detailed. I don't have patience (or talent ) to do something like that. Very nice

[Reply #130 on:]

Thanx peeps! My main drive apart from my ambition to get a graphic novel out there is the fact that my art satisfies my own taste, it isn't the greatest but if I wasn't into it I couldn't do it. If I didn't think I was offering something new I wouldn't do it, so it's my own unique (I hope) style...

[Reply #131 on:]

Ooh... that looks like a lot of hard work! Nicely done, Otis

*thumbs up*

no I won't.

It's good practice at any rate.

[Reply #133 on:]

Thanx Morgan ...

[Reply #134 on:]

Oh noes some fan art

[Reply #135 on:]

Random characters from different cartoons all on the same shell makes it look like an ugly mess, imo.

[Reply #136 on:]

That body debut run will be on a track I have never driven on, it's going to get thrashed.

[Reply #137 on:]

more work on the Planet Express Ship:



the landing gear and cargo hatch can be extended and retracted, the torpedo tubes open and close, and the turret rotates

[Reply #138 on:]

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

[Reply #139 on:]

Astrostellar.

I like the way the colors blend in to each other.
Oh, and as I told you, those two renderings way above are grandish, also.

I always like your starry backgrounds.
Starry, starry night...

[Reply #140 on:]

That looks neat

I wish I know how to do 3D modeling

[Reply #141 on:]

Nice ship, SO.  I dos likes the ways youse drawses...

[Reply #142 on:]

here's a short, animated supernova explosion I made for an upcoming lecture I have to give:

supernova

The gas on the left is too pink to be hydrogen emission, and I dunno how to change it! ARGH!

[Reply #143 on:]

NEEEEEEEEET

Now you're branching off into animation-!
Super-explosive.  Haha, big fiery orange blob!
But at least the pink is... hot pink       get it, hot

Ooh what lecture, what lecture?

[Reply #144 on:]

I have to give a talk on the research I'm doing.  nothing particularly exciting.  I've done some animating before, actually, but the files are huge so I haven't posted them.

[Reply #145 on:]

Ah, okay. I do remember that one little video you did a long long time ago - wasn't it for some sort of contest or something? - but haven't seen anything else since then.

Also check out the galactic stuff in the science thread, if you haven't already, supposedly they have found yet more evidence for dark matter and dark energy and such.. a 'matter' of mapping it...

Tentacles with no rape.
Pirates with no Johnny Depp.
I'm so postmodern.

[Reply #147 on:]

Don't feel left out, there's still boobs.

Nice arting, Coldy.

[Reply #148 on:]

There are always boobs.

Thank you.

[Reply #149 on:]

That's some awesome rape-less tentacle art there, Coldy.

Also, awesome rape-less Supernova animation, SoylentOrange.

[Reply #150 on:]

What? Tentacles, boobs, and no rape?

BTW good picture.

[Reply #151 on:]

New one colored..

[Reply #152 on:]

That may be the strangest looking crotch I've ever seen

[Reply #153 on:]

^It's just a tad high.

The shoulders are a bit off, but it's still nice.

[Reply #154 on:]

Yeah, I tend to agree about your comments Nutty & El.  What happened to the heart tattoo?

[Reply #155 on:]

That's cool.
Although I would maintain a more solid boundary for the hair, since the rest of the picture has linear boundaries to the different colour areas (black lines), the hair standing alone as being a free-flowing form without boundary kind of looks out of place. You either do the whole thing like that, or none of it at all.

[Reply #156 on:]

I prefer the sketch to the coloured version. You may wanna look at some reference when it comes to colouring. It'll help you to place the highlights and the shadows.

[Reply #157 on:]

Actually i like sketch more too..:P

'New at coloring..

[Reply #158 on:]

I dun a pic. A friend at work is leaving, and I thought I'd give her a pic to commemorate the event; her, Simpsonified, in a 'typical' workplace pose. For context, the guy in the thought bubble is our head-guy, who famously described my friend's departure for her new job as 'just natural wastage' (...or perhaps he meant 'employee attrition'). Hence, obviously, I'm taking the opportunity to show my boss drowning in liquid sh... it's not a subtle joke, is it?

I really hope I don't get fired.

Anyway; much of the actual drawing is not my best (rusty), but the 'production values' are far better than I typically manage. This is because the best bits of this pic - the pacing and framing, reangling of the thought-bubble-man to fit the available space, fixes to fg/bg line thicknesses and colour schemes - are thanks to El-Man, who very patiently shared his expertise and walked me through them. Big props and many thanks to him for what worked, more practice for me for what didn't

Opinions as welcome as ever!
