Hello there everyone,
Yup I'm a "newbie" (do I hate this term) too, and as most newbies in this forum I have been looking around without making noise for a couple weeks. My turn now to show my digistuff ! So here it is, some kind of Heavy Weapon Alien lost in a marsh of some sort. Designed that guy some years ago but decided to colour it at 5 am this morning, took me about an hour. Not finished of course, colors are strange and a bit too dark. Waiting for comments ! Thanks

nice start - the coloring is a bit smudged and i think you need a specific light source ( just my thoughts - use it dont use it )

* post it when its done curiouse to see what kinda alien thang it is *

I liked the mood right off. Reminded me of the dark moods of two of my own pieces:



Keep us updated on that fella of yours. Punch out a face for us, k? And don't forget some subtle backlighting.

Come on, go on with this...

With his stance kind of frozen in midair and the blue-greenish tones, I thought it could make a quite good underwater scene. Add one or two bubbles, a slight distorsion and here it comes! Just a thought, take it or leave it...

Hope that guy doesn't suffocate with that plastic bag over his head. (har har har very pathetic joke)

I like what you have already. One crit I'll mention: the arm on the right side of the picture, well I know it's an alien, but judging from the muscles on the other arm, the bicept is misplaced for the angle of the forarm; it would be angled towards the body more.

Post more as it comes along.

Hey feebsaint, cool pics... the second reminds me of Segur (my favorite french artist). The slim, triangular-shaped head creature looks like a dark-gobelin from 'legendes des contr�es oubli�es'. I sur love it

The title of this message still eludes me. New face ? Where's the face ? Hmmm ... *just kidding*

There's something about the perspective and scale which bothers me - his shoulder looks enlarged, and so does his wrist. Just something you might want to take note of.

Is that gollum on the first pic? Feebsaint?

[Horg]

Thanks for the comments everyone. Here's the original drawing I did 2 years ago. The shoulder is ententionally made bigger, like a big armored one. I'll continue to work on it as soon as I have time !

[Horg]

Here's a new version. I changed the colors a little and added a backlight (maybe it's too intense). His head is so so. Anyway, enjoy !

[Al_kgs]

The head is definitely better looking now than plain blue!
The backlight is not really too intense but i think you spreaded it a bit too much all over the place. Make it more subtle.

[Awetopsy]

I agree the backlight could be abit more subtle...

but i really like how this peice is turning out..

This is pretty cool I can feel the dampness in the air also what did you use to color?

[Horg]

Thanks for the comments !
lildragon, to answer your question, this was colored on Photoshop using my old Wacom tablet (like most people in here I guess)
