Here's my latest work...

Can s.o. tell me how I get such a good quality lineart Feng did.
I had to scan this one and my pen has been quite thick.
Tracing and cleaning in Illustrator would take too long....
But anyways if s.o. feels like colouring it - I have no clue yet which colours to take and stuff...

grab a big big psd.file here

Ah, she can kick my ass any time she wants to.

Moin Solitarire,
keine Ahnung warum Du so wenige Reaktionen bekommst, ich finde die Zeichnung gut. Ich w�rde an Deiner Stelle nur die Haare und die Unterschenkel etwas �berarbeiten (mehr Details).
Postest Du hier bald eine colorierte Version?

Vortx · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 1:21 am

Solitaire, this line drawing looks very clean. Don't worry about it. There's no need to go into illustrator...that's a total over-kill.

My lines aren't that clean at all (as compared to comics). Doing perfect lines take too much time, i don't have the patience for that.

Keep it up....looking good...

Xoco · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 6:18 am

Solitaire · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 6:32 am

So none of you guys will give it a try?

just brabble:

Hey, wie kommts, da� hier so viel (Exil)Hamburger sind - hab noch in Keinem Grafik board Deutsche gesehen!
Vielleict kann man sich ja mal treffen; so unter Hanseaten

Eckhardt · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 8:09 am

Hi Guys,

if someone is sad because he doesn�t understand the wonderfull german tounge. I can only say its still time to learn. A drawing done by a friend of mine can help you.

cheers
Eckhardt

PS solitare your picture sieht sehr gut aus.

lol Thanx Eckehardt - I like that satire

.

sorry, but my swedish is limited to speaking as I have no clue how that's spelled (but it's only two sentences

So forget about that

)

Eckhardt · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 8:58 am

Psst....Ich bin ein deutscher im fernen Land... lebe und arbeite in Schweden...;-)

alles gute mach so weiter.

Moonlord · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 10:51 am

hehe thats funny here.
Solitaire: Cool pic so far w/ nice lineart (agree to Vortx).
But where is her right arm? is it well hidden under her hair?

oh, and some brabbling in that dumb language noone understands:
Ist ja echt lustig hier, wie immer mehr Hamburger ins Forum st�rmen.
Ich bin nat�rlich auch von Geburt an waschechter Hamburger *g*.
Eckhart: der Bayer is echt gut.

Jezebel · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 11:00 am

This image is looking really good as I start at the feet and work my way up. Her pose is very defiant and I love the details you've put into her outfit. However, you sort of lose me at the face. Everything else is so detailed with all these tiny lines, grooves, etc.. and suddenly you reach her head and it's sorta flat. I would do a little more with her hair... give it some definition.

can't you see the hand next to the blaster? You should grab the big one to recognize the details (and do a nice guest colour job)

Wieso eigentlich so viele Hamburger

- das iss ja verr�ckt!

nil900 · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 11:04 am

Hi Solitaire
(I doing this one in English in fear of beeing thrown out). I was born in Bremen and moved to HH four years ago. I'm now living in Altona (direkt am Bahnhof).
We should meet here in Hamburg sometime. Maybe we could learn from each other.

Solitaire · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 11:18 am

Jezebel - you're right here see my first draft of that pic...
So I think the recent head is an improvement, but I'll do another attempt

Jezebel · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 11:27 am

Yeah, I like the style you're going with on the second head more than the first. But the weight on the first looks much better. Maybe darken up your lines a bit, or throw some goggles on her head or give her hair some colored streaks... just something to give it more weight. I think it will help a whole lot once you do that

She still has her tattoo in the face (wthout a filli in as it's lineart)...

lemmme see

Solitaire · Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2000 5:17 pm

Just began with colouring her....but...

I figured out that I have to do without the outlines when colouring her as despite Vortx saying the outlines seem to be clean enough.

- They aren't! So I have to paint over the outlines or do a hell of a work in Illustrator

well i felt bad that no one was posting work (so even though it is not done and i will prolly start over since i am not happy with it . . . here it is: )

the outlines i had probs with to but np : )

um the only thing i like wiht my coloring is the blue leather sorta stuff eventhing else is crap i am prolly gonna start over : )

but here is something for the time being!

Solitaire · Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2000 1:48 am

Cool - yes the blueish leather is looking fine to me too

...
As it's to the Outlines...I used the wrong type of paper and pen

(lousy beginner

).

keep up - I know it's hard to bear with all these details and the bad lineart, but I am sure some of you guys here could make a great artwork out of her..

I have to hurry with my version - damn I am too slow...call me a slug

Solitaire · Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2000 1:47 pm

...it just occured to me that I forgot the galls (
