I've never really had an art thread on LBPC before so I figured it's about time I made one, a proper one.
To kick off here's a quick 40min drawing I did the other day. I'm going to be making a set of these little characters.

10 points to whoever notices the huge mistake in the drawing.
Spoiler - Characters
Flame isnt in the shadow :D /10 points
Sweet drawing though, everybody loves psychotic derping flamethrowers.
Close but no cigar, fire creates light rather than blocks it so wouldn't have a shadow of it's own.Quote:

Any other drawings you can post? The psychotic derping flamethrower needs some friends!
Excellent drawing! You did a great job :)
The mistake is: as everybody knows, flamethrowers normally have 12 teeth instead of 9.
Bam! Gotcha! :D
Really nice, I know I'd be excited if my head was on fire. :p Probably not smiling though.
As for the mistake, I can't really think of one, but is the flame supposed to come out like that? Like, straight out of the tank? Is that it? I always saw it come out of the gun thingy:

Or should the fire be affecting the shading? I'm not sure. :U Still a great drawing nonetheless.
Hmm, I'm sure I have something around. At the moment I have a lot of drawing but they're all works in progress, I 'spose I could throw some of those up or some old stuff. I'll see what I can find :)Quote:

Thank you so much avundcv (I won't even attempt to pronounce that)Quote:

Lol, thanks mate.Quote:

As for the real mistake, the shadows on the character are to the right, but the shadow of the character is to the left. Pretty fundamental mistake but surprising how not obvious it is.
I'll try to post something up tomorrow if I can.
Hurray! New friends :D
SR20, it's great to see you're back! Or at least...more active.. Anywho, I haven't seen you in a while, so it's great to see you started up your very own art thread. (The 3D models one will be missed however. :p) I love this character you've drawn, the color and shading is just great, and his psychotic goofiness really makes it shine.(what with the eyes staring off into opposite directions and his arms and legs flailing about)
I know this is probably going to sound embarrassing, but what program is that? I got a tablet a while back and with summer approaching, I'll finally be able to set it up and start using it, and it looks very useful. (and probably very expensive)
Thanks man good to be back (even though I did disappear again for a month or so, irl issues).Quote:

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it :)
I'm probably too late but I'll answer anyway. I'm using the full version of Photoshop CS5 here (I was able to get the CS5 creative suite for free, thank god!)* , honestly, it's way more than I would ever need for this kind of drawing but it's nice to have the flexibility for other things (namely actual photo editing).
*I'm not sure how many people actually believe me when I tell them that.
Anyway, this thread is in dire need of an update! So here goes :D
Here's the very beginnings of a drawing I'd like to get printed out once I finish it.

I've also had an idea for I game I'd like to create.
I can't code games at all, but I can design and draw them, and who knows maybe I could teach myself enough to make it one day. Gotta aim high right? These are just some rough sketches of some brainstorming.

I'm really interested in some of the ideas for that game now :)
Cheers mate :)Quote:

Fair enough. Remember to keep us all updated :pQuote:

I went through a big dry spell of doing barely any art so now I'm trying to play catch up. A bunch of pens and some pocket sized notepads mean I'll have pen and paper with me constantly to jot down ideas straight away.
I've always loved using cheap pen and paper to draw, I don't feel compelled to always create a master piece when drawing with cheap supplies. Having a limited palette (Blue, Red & Black) also forces me to simplify my drawings and makes for a nice little challenge.
Anyway, I should probably post up some art, so here's a little sketch I did last night :)
That's pretty fancy, I must say. He would've made for a good character in the Console Wars thread that's going on :D.
Thanks man :) Y'know, I've been a member here for 3 years and STILL have no idea what the Console Wars actually are haha, but I'll take the compliment anyway.Quote:

...YEP, that's my art update for today :p
/double post because new content
And now I do, I finished this sketch last night before I went to bed, it's the first picture in the notepads I bought.Quote:

I've got to say, I really love the style that comes from the 3 colour pens. I've not done an entire scene in this style before so there's quite a lot I'd do differently if I were to do it again, but for a experimental first attempt, well I'm pretty pleased with the result.
It does give the drawing a very unique style. As for the Console Wars, you can read all about it by clicking here, and see it in action by clicking here. Shame you didn't sign up, it's pretty fun.
It's well and truly time for an update me-thinks,
I've been continuing designing elements of the zombie game I mentioned earlier, just finished drawing some concepts of the various types of fuel the player will collect and use in the game. Although, the style of drawing I used here is nothing like what I have in mind for the game to look like (it will have a more simplified, almost cartoonish, 3D modelled look), I simply wanted to try out some new brushes I downloaded and practiced some techniques I've been learning recently.
And had a bit of fun with the fonts :p
EDIT: Fixed the word spacing, much better now : )

So basically these are the 5 different fuels types available, compressed air will be a 6th fuel source, however this is not something the player will be able to collect but instead have to produce themselves. These are simply the collectable fuels, thus compressed air has been excluded, and why it wouldn't have an image anyway.
EDIT: Thought I may as well throw up a current WIP, still in the process of working out the values.

I actually did the sketch for this roughly a year ago but lost interest in it and never went any further, just recently I've decided to pick it up again and hopefully finish it.
Hey wow, the embedded image makes them look like they were actually rendered in 3D! I was surprised when I had to get up close and view the full image to see the brush strokes. Nice work!
The obsessive compulsive in me is freaking out about the word spacing, though! :D
