[Visual] Dante's Art

hey, guess what? I'm getting a graphics tablet, eliminating the need for a pesky scanner!
YAY!

here's a mech I drew and colored in Fireworks. keep in mind this was my first time using said program, a tablet, and drawing mecha (for a while).

It isn't too big, so I wont put a spoiler on.



C+C if you wish.

Edit: HurraY!

My tablet is here!
This is just a quick sketch done in Open Canvas: (I tried to color it, but for some reason, some f the white wasnt transparent while some was O.o)



Secret Super Villain!
Thing.
I dont like how the coloring looks...on the organism part...A bit bigger, so spoiler'd.

note: the large blank space is where there used to be a crappy rail gun, but i erased it...so...WiP. 

Spoiler for:

mech-man thing

(i know it looks messy, and that's because in this i was experimenting with shading with a pencil, and i cant quite get it uniform enough yet, but i will. also, i didn't define alot of the armor details...meaning, i wasnt sure so he has arbitrary armor chunks, but in the next version these will all be smoothed out)

Spoiler for:

It's a guy.
With a sniper rifle.
I was practicing my perspective drawing. I have a .PNG without the gun so that more of his armor is visible, but I dont really want to upload it since it looks a little bit wierd.

Spoiler for:

almost couldn't tell what it was, but it sure was pretty!!

yeah, it sort of suffers from being both too dark and from having that typical soft-edged painting look to it. Oh well though, all I need is some practice.

er....

added new stuff.

Wow...very nice, I really like it.

all I can say is you lucky bastard!
Getting a graphics tablet

well, it's my own money...sure is nice to buy things yourself though ^.^

it really helps my art skills...although, I want to learn how to get past that certain "pillowy" coloring look.

I <3 your style ^^

Have you ever thought about cleaning up more in your villain?

~Winged

hehe, thanks.

Yeah, i have. the thing is though, that i was stupid and drew him and the things holding him in on the same layer, so...

1.) the coloring shows through and makes it look messy

2.) it's harder to edit

also, this was a first concept sorta thing.


Also, new mech is up. Took a few hours >.<
(keep in mind i hardly draw mecha)
Im thinking of drawing him in other poses later...

I love the sketchy lines, it adds to the piece.

Wow, thats good!  I love that robot

Your last picture, the Mecha-man thing, seems to be the best to me. Second favorite would have to be your "Super Secret Villain". I still think that he should be more refined, though =\

heh, yeah, that mech is probably one of my best drawings i've done so far. As for the villain, it just started out as a sketchy concept, but if/when I re-draw him it'll be better.
thanks ^^

Nice mecha art and avatar, Dante.

well howdy ho thar Ramen, havent seen you for a while. thanks ^^

you're pretty good XD
i've got a tablet myself, but i prefer to draw the lineart before hand

* Zypher is completely jealous :O

god damn, every single one of those is pretty much awesome. Sketchy, yes, but I don't really see that as a bad thing. Very very nice.

Your technique is definitely something to contend with!

cool.

Damnit. My open Canvas trial expired. If you guys want to see more (yes, like a porn site), i need a keygen or something for it.
But, here's a drawing I did right before the end...(see first post)

Awesome sketches!
You're good at drawing from different angles.
The mech is really cool, favorite that
Sketchy's nice, it show the original feeling of a picture's style.

heh, thanks, I really wanna know how to do clean lines though...
Well, I mean, kinda. I do like having visible strokes, as it makes the art seem less virtual.

The mech-man thing is my favorite!
