Soulgamers art

[Soulgamer]

yeah, i'm a newb here. Really, all i want is some crit on my art, that way i can improve myself (self-esteem issues i guess...)

so heres my first art here:


i took my style from Machall, and i just did what felt right to me.

i have other art, but this is the most recent one.

A friend of mine started out just like you, making comics that looked like that.  Now he's an awesome artist.  My advice is for you to keep on doing it and you'll get better over time (not that you suck now, don't missunderstand).  

I do have one suggestion;  Alot of these anime style comics have one flaw and its that there is no clear phisical diffrence between the characters.  So far, all the characters on that page have elements that help us tell them apart.  What I'm getting at is, don't fall in that horrible creative pit where all characters look alike.

[Gangrell]

Many people will say, to create a rememberable character it should be recognizable by it's silhouette alone. Not that I stick to this rule.

[Soulgamer]

sound advice, i'll take that into account.

in the meantime, some sketches i've done not too long ago

[Killswitch]

I'd love to see those characters colored
And damn the lined paper!

[Soulgamer]

i have an inked pic of Ren (on plain paper), so if anyone wants to color, just tell me and i'll put it up.

[Soulgamer]

sorry for the double post, but new art i did today at school

[Shmi]

that's pretty cool, the demonescape one, i'd love to see it inked. lol.. that'd make a cool tattoo, too.

[Soulgamer]

um..........if it is inked, its gonna be by hand cause i don't know how to use any photoshop type programs...

but if anyone's interested in doing it yourself, just IM me or PM me

[Soulgamer]

sorry again for the double post, but something that should be brought to the attention to the small fanbase i have.

I draw, but since school is winding down and everything is getting boring, i'm kinda slacking off. and in light of this, i'm going to the other thing that i like to do, which is, spriting.

a little taste of what i do:

i'm the idiot doing the writing, and this comic is from a series of comics a friend and i am doing, called Kay and Silent Rob, which is a parody of a well known duo.

if it's too big, or too....explicit in language, i apologize.
i'm also wondering if it's okay to post some of the comics i do here... if not, this will be the first and last one.

[AppleGeek]

you took your style from machall...
in my oppinion that comic has gone through many style changes...but none seem look anything like yours.

[MrVampyr]

the headshape is early machall. If you look at the mini tutorial he has on his site you'll see how to do that head.

[Soulgamer]

right, i took my style from the tutorial from the machall site, but since i'm a lazy bastard, i just did what felt right and went from there.

[MrVampyr]

aye thats how I started off (yes yes Im an idiot and didnt start with life drawing etc etc)

[grossjo]

That is some of the best drawing I've seen from a newb as you call yourself.  It's like raw unbridled talent just waiting to be harness. Good job so far.  Just keep practicing.
