Hah! My art may be darker'n the comic itself, but I wouldn't think it to be Miller dark. Less whores and repetition either way

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #601 on:** 10 Sep 2013, 14:59 »

If those are just one-hour dealios then a daylong effort must be stunning...

These incorporate a lot of stuff that's tricky to get just right... the expressions, the masses, the lighting/shading, the delicious ambiguity---Faye looks like she's about to rip your head off or crack a joke, or both--Dora looks like she needs something, but can't quite figure out what it is, and she might just break down if she doesn't get it.

Dunno if you intended any of that, but I'm picking it up. Color(charcoal) me very impressed.

Now I kinda want there to be a movie "QC Noir".

With guest apperances by Kirika and Marelle?

Welu · « **Reply #603 on:** 12 Sep 2013, 04:36 »

Jotunheim, those portraits are beautiful. It's really interested to see such realistic interpretations of the characters that are still completely recognisable.

Quote from: Loki on 06 Sep 2013, 23:03

You are too modest. Seems to be one of the professional vices of artists.

One thing about being an artist is knowing A. You can always improve. So therefore B.No matter how good your last artistic project was flawed and not good enough.

Someone has pointed out that 'shipping, an abbreviation of the transitive verb "relationshipping," should thus be spelled with a leading apostrophe. I like that idea, since it hints at its origin, and I may promote it.

"Someone" being me.

Except I'm pretty sure I didn't say it should be spelled that way, just that I've seen other forums that do spell it that way to reduce confusion.

Do you still travel by 'bus?

(short for omnibus)

Or by 'cab?

(click to show/hide)

Yeah, yeah. But "bus" and "cab" didn't already have meanings of their own, so dropping those apostrophes didn't cause any confusion. "Shipping", however...

Wrong - or at least only a small part of the story. Cab is short for cabriolet (a type of carriage), and taxi is short for taximeter (originally the French taximètre, from the German taxameter - meaning a charging meter). Taxicab was formed by concatenating those two abbreviations to describe what had already been called a "taximeter cab", though now both taxi and cab are used independently as abbreviations for taxicab.

A long term thing looks more or less like this, If we're going for one of the black and white things I do

And thank you for all the nice comments. (It's in a url because it's not QC fanart. Unless Warhammer 40k and QC occupy the same universe, but different timelines, in which case anthro PCs would be the Iron Men which led to the Age of Strife...Hmmm)

This may seem propestorous of me to suggest* but have you considered doing this for a living, for example drawing artwork for a gaming company?

*I feel it may be so because I am always annoyed when people see me finding the right button in a program and go "oh, you are so good with computers, you should work for [big company name]". By doing so, they unintentionally devalue the skill of the guys of the company in question, which I know to be beyond my own, and my own judgement of my own abilities. Sorry, this got more ranty than I planned.

Not entirely propestorous no :p I do do commission work, and I'd like to spin a living off my drawing and painting. Not getting enough work to support myself fully yet though.

Oh, interesting. I had heard the word "cabriolet" before, but had no idea it had any connection to taxis. Thank you!

Jotunheim, may I ask: Is you work digital, or physical media? Much impressed either way, and I wish you all good luck in making a living off it.

Occurs to me the word I was looking for in saying what I specifically liked about your Faye portrait was "modeling" moreso than "lighting" but it's still amazingly good.

Jotunheim · « **Reply #612 on:** 13 Sep 2013, 15:03 »

Most of my work is digital, though occasionally it will be based on a pencil sketch/drawing.

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #613 on:** 16 Sep 2013, 11:07 »

Beautiful work!! I adore digital painting and you do it so well

What program do you use?

Jotunheim · « **Reply #614 on:** 19 Sep 2013, 12:46 »

I use Photoshop cs3 and a wacom intuos 5 tablet.

Welu · « **Reply #615 on:** 21 Sep 2013, 07:36 »

There's a thing going round Tumblr to redraw screencaps so I decided to try redrawing one of the panels of a strip. Did the third panel of this one.

I'll probably post some cleaner stuff when my tablet arrives

That closed-up defensive body language shows the reality behind her brash facade.

Carl-E · « **Reply #618 on:** 19 Nov 2013, 16:21 »

Those eyes are kinda scared/scarey.

This looks like the Dora saying goodbye to Marten on the couch.

BrusselSprouts · « **Reply #619 on:** 19 Nov 2013, 17:02 »

that's kind of what I was going for. I was doodling the thing with their break-up in mind, and decided to use huge eyes to kind of show her vulnerability sort of thing... IDK I think I just felt like Scott Pilgrim-ing in one of the few poses I can actually draw to be honest

DSL · « **Reply #620 on:** 03 Jan 2014, 15:12 »

Faye's line about imagining Marigold in a robot pilot suit led in the WCDT to forumite Akima's open-atmosphere request, which I picked up.

Anyway, this being the fan-art thread, I thought I'd repost over here too.

Zwammy · « **Reply #621 on:** 03 Jan 2014, 15:54 »

I did a quick sketch of Marigold in a plugsuit, very rough and not as cool as DSL's, but I was imagining how she would react to Dale (or anyone else) seeing her. I posted it on Deviantart here http://zwammy.deviantart.com/art/EVMarigold1-424444683 so you'll need an account to view, I believe.

DSL · « **Reply #622 on:** 03 Jan 2014, 16:25 »

I saw it without an account, so no worries there.
I like the body language -- specifically the contrast between Marigold's usual, um, extreme diffidence and the attitude it would take to wear that sort of outfit where people could see you. I think that's what makes your drawing.

FunkyTuba · « **Reply #623 on:** 04 Jan 2014, 16:21 »

yes, you've captured her embarrified (horribarrassed?) posture perfectly

Yes, I like that.

Cleaning out the old hard drive and found this picture I made when playing around with Daz3d. I haven't been keeping up with the strip lately, but thought I'd share this.

Schmee · « **Reply #626 on:** 24 Jan 2014, 00:07 »

Nice! A bit Uncanny-Valley, but I suppose that's to be expected when dealing with that kind of 3D rendering stuff.

Storel · « **Reply #627 on:** 24 Jan 2014, 01:07 »

Very nice! I like how you made Marten's and Dora's hair look similar yet distinctly different; even Jeph has trouble with that sometimes.

Carl-E · « **Reply #628 on:** 25 Jan 2014, 11:31 »

cesium133 · « **Reply #631 on:** 16 Mar 2014, 15:12 »

It's pretty challenging to get it to work at that size. This is what I was able to get.

It's not really that great.

... I'm not sure about some of the ones offered.

I'm still not; and I think it could be considered unfair to have some of the main cast in smiley form, but not others. I might make an exception for a Claire-face, though, as it's such a specific thing.

Akima · « **Reply #634 on:** 22 Aug 2014, 02:17 »

You might already have seen this on Jeph's Tumblr, but I think it deserves a mention here too.
