Way too tired, but just messing around in PS. Scaled down quite a bit as well.

Hello guys, I haven't posted any of my own artwork in this thread, even though I've been posting on GAF for about a year. I figured it's time for a contribution.
An expression sheet I did for my game character Katze, it got publish in Digital artist magazine so I'm real proud of it.
Copic sketch of my namesake character
Another original character
Novel cover I was commissioned to do.
I currently work as a concept and sprite artist for small flash games. Here's one that came out last year http://armorgames.com/play/5386/dawn-of-sorcery It's my goal to break into the real game industry and release my own XBLA game, but I'm still young and my art is still a bit lacking.
Oh and here's my DA if anyone wants to exchange links: http://chicochan.deviantart.com/

The expressions image works for me, but I can't see any of the others.
I was wondering, was that a contest or something you were entering? And also, what do you use for reference with your expressions? Do you just make the face yourself in a mirror? That's probably the weakest part of my drawing at this point and I'd love to get any tips on how I might be able to improve it.
Good work, though. I look forward to seeing your other images!
Ochrehand, I really like the atmosphere in your paintings. I wish I could capture that kind of mood.
Spaniard, that's a huge bummer man, sorry to hear that. But you're in a field where I'd imagine there's a fair bit of contract work available, so maybe this will open up better opportunities for you!

to bad you got axed.. Why? Well, Dive in to those model drawings. I can see you're really getting good at it.
What are you using for your reference with the character sketches, Spaniard?
Also, does anyone have any tips or anything on blocking in colour when painting digitally (ie. Photoshop)? I know that's kind of a tough thing to teach, but I'm a total novice still and I have such difficulty starting a painting once I have a rough sketch done up.

There were some politics involved. I know it wasn't about the work I was doing, just some high level disagreements on .. stuff. Lots of good friends though, I know 98 percent of the place was shocked and sad to see me go.
Zozobra said:
Without trying to sound like a total snob, I dont use reference for my poses. I just sketch loosely, pick a pose I like and then do a more detailed version of it. At that point in the process I'll look at reference for particular parts (if the hands are doing something tricky or if theres muscle groups Im not too familiar with) I work out and stay in good shape so I have some decent muscle definition, so that with a full body mirror tends to take care of most issues.
For coloring in Photoshop youll find a million tutorials, but heres what works best for me, go to this link and download this action:
http://cghub.com/scripts/view/80
Actions in Photoshop are a series of effects done in sequence. With this action, just load it up, press play and it will setup the black and white image for you to color under the lines. Just make sure the image is flattened before you use it or it wont work.
As for general tips you have to find your own style, but I suggest to always play the contrast between hot and cool colors, dont be afraid to go crazy and experiment and stay loose early, refine later (meaning, dont worry about coloring inside the lines, shit like that, youll clean up later) Try not to use too many brushes or filters or opacity changes, sticking with the basics will help you get better faster. Also, there is no shame to colorpick from other images you like to learn about color theory and application. Oh, also, try never to use straight black or white unless youre doing it on purpose. You can add shadows to most things with some blue, for instance, and it will make your images more life like.

Those are nice, but please tag them as NSFW and give a link instead. Also, a tip for everybody, your images dont need to be so damn big!
Still gonna be in crate land for a while, heres an update to the medieval one

No, actually. Long story short, I worked at a high school this summer, and while there, the old lockers had to be ripped out and replaced. I found the photo in the debris that was left over.

Had an art test yesterday, it was to concept a bunch of SHARKS. Had a pretty good time, lol
And they specifically asked for an Okami inspired shark

And on a more serious note, the environment I'm working on, now. It's for a game (school project) : http://mik2121.com/portfolio/3d/3d-environment-making-process
I still don't have any shot that's pretty enough to show, so I'm just leaving the link there in case anyone wants to check around.

nice to see the diversity. Do you do these from the head, or with some shark documentation?Raging Spaniard said:

Yeah I had never drawn sharks before so I drew some from photos first to get acquainted and then I had some reference for styles like Sharks Tale, Nemo, etc just so that I could keep them in mind. When it came to drawing these though, it was all from the head.
BTW, really awesome and simple coloring tutorial:

This IS NOT mine, but I figure maybe one of you might recognize the art style or something, or maybe the painting itself.
Really want to know who the artist is that did this picture...

Here are my most recent drawings... Feel free to critique. I'd really like to improve!
My friend and myself are taking a crack at an iPhone game. I'm doing the art and concept and he's doing the programming. I doubt it will be very playable, but we're having a lot of fun doing it so far. We've got a working build done and its really rough but hopefully with some polish something will come out of it.
Any feedback is appreciated. I've never done sprite work before so its all a learning process.
