Mmmm.... yummy. So far this looks very nice. How soft pencil you use? I'm trying to learn drawing myself, so umm... yeah.

That's really good, I like it a lot!
Some suggestions on the left arm (I'm pretty sure you mean his left, our right, right?):

1: Do a holographic projection coming out of the wrist of either a map, his target or someone briefing him
2: Make him hold a leaking wound
3: Make him hold a chain of ammo coming out of his gun
4: Make him hug a baby
5: Or make him hold a guy by the neck, after breaking it

6: Maybe he is looking for change on his vest pocket, an old habbit from the human cells remaining on his body

Hope this helps!

I think there is no problem with the left arm. The problem for me is that it's very difficult to know where the light source is. Everything look shaded the same. Nothing wrong with that but a stronger lightsource with definite shadows and big areas of black would had some drama to your image.
Very nice design.

you could just leave the left arm as it is then just drape an ammo belt over it which can be connected up to his gun, that would be the coolest

I would suggest ammo, exposives/grenades, or a large knife (like vibroblades from Rifts! =))

Impressive.... I like hte great tonal range. Anyway.... what I automatically think of when looking at this picture is that his other arm should be holding a small sidearm aimed in the direction he is looking.

of course kos mandis does offer some good alternatives..... like cradling babies...... etc etc....

and if all else fails, just get rid of the arm completely and have it as battle damage

That guy looks like the soldiers in Final Fantasy (movie, duh). And so, I think the holographic thing will do just nicely.

Take a look, it's WIP pencil drawing, a little dirty, but i'll fix that later. Anyway, i don't know what to do with his left arm. Any ideas?

help, before it's too late

Well, to me it looks like he is holding/cradleing a gun or sword or something. I suggest you draw him doing that. A big freakin' sword would be nice, but I bet you will probably draw a gun, since he is a cyborg.

Well, anywho, it looks damn good so far. Post it again when you get the left arm figured out.

i really love the concept of that gun...damn...our shading is also very nice
maby just have a little radar style thing on his hand to illustrate he now knows wich direction his target is in after checking the radar?
just an idea

Molotov · Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2001 11:50 pm

Uh! Good!

I'll think about it!

digismack · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2001 1:47 am

it looks like his pulling a pack of smokes out of his front pocket, oh wait.. cyborg , DOH

finish it!magnifiscent work mate

KOryH · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2001 12:05 pm

How a bout fixing or adjusting something on his helmet, ya know some cool cyborg gadget!
Here is a quick idea, I was just thinking about the shape/silhouette. I think this reads fairly well and the action gives the viewer a specific thing to look at, not just the whole thing.

Dryfire · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2001 12:12 pm

YOU KICK SO MUCH ASS!!!

heh you just might be the 2nd on my best pencil shading list ;-)

Cos · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2001 12:55 pm

damn thats some great pencil rendering, the helmet looks really really good. Maybe make him taking out some kinda energy ammo clip for the gun. You should definetely finish this!

mk · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2001 1:55 pm

That silhouette thing is cool... but how about blocking the sunlight with his hand while hes looking into the distance?

Molotov · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2001 2:58 pm

Woah, KOryH .. =) that's looks good, howewer there should be be some troubles for me to make such a pose, but i'll try.

Thanks everyone who replied to this thread. You really helped me a lot.
Later i'll post here finished figure, for your comments.
I'm too tired now to write a detailed answer, so excuse me.

(sorry for bad spelling)

KEWL KEWL KEWL!!.. Very FF style (the movie) body armor.. also seems like Jinroh-esque. I really like the shading work. as for the left arm.. the idea for ammo clip seems the safest bet. the other one about him checking the wrist map holo is kewl too..

Huh? I suppose that means "Work In Progress", doesn't it? So there is a progressing work...

Always loved to "invent" some kinds of battlesuits, hi-tech armors etc. May be it's all inspired by old Highnline's book about "Starship Trooperz". I'm not sure.

(spelling....)

Gracktov · Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2001 1:20 pm

lol, Sorry i just thought that was some sort of pencil

I really like u drawing alot i may have to alook at that book for simular ideas.

If you havn't changed it yet, i think it would look cool if he held a chain of ammo going from his gun, it would still read well if he held it to his left, and it would also elaborate on the thing in his right hand, looks like a chaingun anyway.
