Whatever happened to the ampu-tau playin vidya?

told you, couldn't figure out a way to do it without spending days on it.

besides, a girl sitting cross-legged, holding a controller, no matter how unclothed, is unsexy.

>>8249
You could just draw a legless Tau lying on her stomach, getting railed while she *tries* to play the game.

Most excellent! I love the C'tan dudes you got there. (And pretty much all of your art, but yknow.)

should I have put a greyer background, or less contrast? for less flatness, I mean

>>8308

Less contrast and a bit lighter on the lower black background portion, I believe a darker gray would work.

Edit:

I can't help but notice the back leg, I feel as if that contributes a lot to the flatness , alongside the fur between the front leg and aforementioned one. It seems a bit, flowing downwards too straight.

I am guessing this creature is supposed to be galloping, so in my mind the fur should be all over the place!

>>8319
Uh, which one, the left-had one? It's a front leg.

>>8321

The one in the back, right side.

not sure 'bout this

>>8505
I think it looks pretty great, actually. Different, somehow.

>>8506
yeah, but; like: shouldn't the reflection on the hair be white instead of blue? should the green reflections be less harsh? should the outlines be less visible? should the inner right thigh be shaded more? should the bottom of the cape be bright green, should it be black, or should it blend in the background color? should the face have stronger white reflections?

that's what I mean by "not sure"

>>8507

To address these particular issues:

No, I like the hair with blue reflections; it makes it seem more 'metallic,' which is not only befitting of the character, but also generally appealing to look at. I think the cape is too strong in colour. Or maybe it's just because it seems unrefined at this stage. I dunno, you'd have to work on it more for me to evaluate what I think about it justly. The inner thigh probably could be darkened, yes.
Outlines aren't an issue. Again, it's most noticeable on the cape, and to me, that seems like little more than a developmental issue.
I think you need to either fade the cape into the background, or put more work into the lower legs. That is my main issue with it. I think the face is really nice, and you should leave it as it is.

That's my two cents, I guess. I really like this one, and would like to see it fully finished.

>>8508

What Overlord said is pretty much okay.

You need to figure out what is your lightsource, and build from there, Artificial or Natural. Is it a lightbulb pointing at her, or just something else.

You might want to play around with the lighting effects coming out from the Necron runes all over her body.

Other than that, looks great as always.

I think it's better, but it still looks too inconsistent; cartoonish. I think the problem is with the outlines and the metal effects, but I haven't figured out how to make them something else than high-contrast black/color stripes

>>8524
Hrmm...

You're right. It does seem cartoonish, but I don't think it doesn't work for this particular image. It looks, I dunno, cleaner and maybe a little brighter than usual. The colours play a big part in this, but don't change them.

I think you need to refine the cape even further, particularly around the collar. This is, in my opinion, that which lets down the image the most. It just looks like an unfinished part. The metal of the legs looks a lot nicer and more realistic now. I noticed you have darkened those glowy green bits, which I think need to be re-lightened, too.

>>8528

I think he should try and balance the shine on the metal. It seems too perfectly displayed along the body lines, instead of actually coming from a lightsource.

For example the chest shine does not align with the one on the thighs, are they intentional?

>>8531
>For example the chest shine does not align with the one on the thighs, are they intentional?
I thought it made them look more round, I'll try to see how it works by aligning it.

>>8528
I didn't darken them, though, and I don't see what's wrong with the collar...

I'll also try to make the outlines less visible, just to see.

>>8540

Ah, or maybe it is the abdomen shine that follows the spine instead of the thigh shine pattern.

>>8523
Gladly.

No, just a re-interpretation of a character from tauquest, without the prettiness and shit...

not sure which version looks better

>>9403

Well to me, the first one , looks a bit more dynamic due to the brushes used in the background, It looks like he is striding forward, stomping dirt and splattering it all over. Whilst the third one looks a bit more menacing due to the darker tone.

>>9405
That's right. I think that the second one is more relevant to what I was trying to do.

It was a poetic license. But the fact is that there is little chance for her to be dressed like this outside of a battlesuit. And that using a catheter is easier when your willy sticks out. Well, it's that or diapers for her anyway. I might come back on this last idea later.

not sure about the shiny effects

it's just a sketch but I'd like them to be believable

>>9736
It works on the butt and thigh, but less so on the upper body, I think, due to lack of contrast. It looks matte, almost. For a sketch, it's pretty good however, and I think the lollipop is a cute addition.

>>9737
I am more worried about the thighs and ass, actually, because I'm afraid they don't follow the same light source

>>9738

Well, although I doubt you're going to fix it, since it's a sketch, I'd say it'd be easier to fix the the lighting of body to match the arse/legs, since it looks less developed, and as a point of focus in the image, I think the butt should get priority anyway.

>>9739
that sounds good.

>>9685
I'm kinda wishing it's a little bigger...

Me again with this guy, I thought this was right up your alley, I'd love to see you adapt or try this thing sometime, of course if you are interested.

>>10007
Drawinganondude and the few concept artists I've seen streaming work the exact same way and at one point, I tried doing it, for a commission if I remember, but I simply couldn't figure out how to construct shapes within a black silhouette. It would require already knowing what it would look like before starting the silhouette, and I suck at this. If I don't know what to do, I just reproduce patterns and vaguely organic shapes without any visual consistency. I'm just not familiar enough with highlights and shapes to do this yet.

but even trying to do it has an advantage: it helps realizing how much you can fuck up anatomy.

>>10013

I have tried that as well, and encountered the same issue. It's not feasible for one as inexperienced as I to pull off with any true success.

Perhaps, it would help if you made a couple of quick studies on the character you wish to draw, and really get the main shapes worked out. Once those are painted into the silhouette, I am sure that the smaller details will be easier.

>>10018
the point is precisely to avoid having to do preliminary studies.

>>10019
Welp. That's a bit of a downer.

I think that, once flipped, it looks a lot deeper and more dynamic...

I don't know what to think of it.

>>10054

Seems the same to me. Probably because you have looked upon if for so long flipped the other way, this seems 'new' to your mind. If anything, that says to me that you achieved a sense of depth well.

>>10054

It is relatively the same, altho there is one thing I want to point out but I doubt it's much of an issue.

There's those two spires you see, the first one is fine, but the one in the background seems a bit out of place, or at least sticking out of proportion.

>>10067
I modified it so that it would look like it's deeper into the background; I thought that it looked too dark and really out-of-place before.

>>10069

I'd go as far as placing it behind the monster's huge claw.

>>10071
that might just work, but I'm not sure. I'll try.
