For the voting week of 9/21 through 9/28.
Artwork by Lunar Mystic.

Forgot to resize these.

Okay, that one is colored, but why do these need resizing? Is there something wrong with them being as large as they are (which isn't all that large, really)?

Absolutely.
Seeing the whole picture at once allows for a more accurate judgment of art principles.

Yes it's the color one but its based upon the exact same line drawing, which is what I would like to improve in my work.

I'll be honest, I feel like the anatomy flaws in the arms are still a bit too prevalent to vote this one in as is.
I just keep getting drawn back to that weird bend in his forearm.

It's a solid design, but it still needs polish.

i'd love to re-envision this guy....

I'll see if I can post my concept art of Clade if you're looking for a little more inspiration.

Looking at other peoples art is one of my favorite American Past-times.

Remember when I worked on Snake Eyes with you? That was a blast! (Where is that piece anyway? Oh, yeah.... I commited digital suicide on the wotc boards... damn artists anyway.)

If anyone wants to make my day, just post up some pencil work and give me a green light.

Hm, I think I gotta agree with Barinellos here. One of the earlier drawings you did had better overall anatomy, despite being less close, I think, to what Ruwin was picturing.

I don't think it needs like complete redrawing though. Just, as Barinellos says, some polishing and refining to bring the anatomy more in line.

So, I guess I'm a little unclear on this one, based on the above discussion. It sounds like Lunar wants to do a revision, so I guess I'll hold off until then?

Based on the rules as they currently stand, this isn't actually a tie as Barinellos counts as 1.5 votes, essentially--the Overlord is a tiebreaker.

Oh, right. Sorry. I'll fix that right quick.

yeah i was essentially just posting these for vote to get some extra feedback, and solidify the direction of these pieces.

do you guys think in the future i should just bump the wip thread and ask for final critiques before they go up for vote?

=Oh.... anyone else having issues with their avatar? I have not been assigning one but it keeps showing up... Anyone see mine now?

"The true surrealist has a tiny little callous on the end of his little finger."

Clade got a makeover!

Unfortunately i won't be coloring the revision....

Ooh, I really like this one.

Yoooooo that's awesome dude o_o

Much, much better anatomically, and the shading is gorgeous.

Incidentally, when you upload this to the Wiki you can upload it at a larger size.

How are you scanning these drawings? I notice the top and bottom are a little lighter and a little bluer.

I didn't get as close up as i could for maximum sharpness....

I've been using a cell phone camera, and then auto leveling in photoscape. I can even the tones out by grayscaling next time.

I can get a better picture uploaded.... But i'm not sure what to do about putting it on the wiki?

Can we squeeze this into the archives?

Would you guys prefer a polished B/W version?

Well i just peeped this on a giant flat screen and it looks like goo, and reminds me of what a **** friend I am.

Antitheses is an interesting term.
