Okay I'll bite.

Quick character = 1min

Troll = 3min

Young Mage discovering black magic = 4min

I'll try to do some finished ones this weekend, but I can't bet me life on it.

Good stuff guys.

Morbid Guy and Cos - Big thumbs up.

How are you guys doing this? I'm using Painter 7 and I'm finding it extremely difficult to make those sharp lines.

Are you starting off at a higher resolution and then downsizing it?

andreasj · Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2002 5:54 am

I used Photoshop with default brushes. Image about 1000x800 pixels. Then scaled it down. Not that my hooded guy is full of sharp lines...

Basse_Ex · Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2002 9:19 am

Are you all using wacom-boards or similar, or is this done by pixel-pushing with a mouse?

PixelPeZ · Posted: Sat Apr 20, 2002 10:29 am

a portrait of a fisherman or a hunter wearing a fur coat and a hat ... didn't come out as I would of wished, but well enough, concidering I have drawn minimal amount of humans ..

"Clich� the Barbarian"

catahoochee - Thanks. Yours looks like an old woodcarving, nice.
loftamannen - could you show little bigger version of that drawing, maybe in the stage before you "destroyed" it?
Good work everybody.

Whoah, great stuff people

I didn't expect this thread to get so large. Some very inspiring work from everyone...

crabFish, fireburnspaper, J-Tee - Thanks, glad you're enjoying the thread.

Lucian- Great first try, looks cool, keep going with them. Maybe try some with some shading and getting a bit more experimental.

Rhomb- Great pics man. You have a really nice b/w style.

hunter_rose0 - Real nice warrior pic.

Mr. T- Different technique is working for you. Keep going with it.

Cos- Love that zombie pic man.

BooMSticK- Really great style on that last one, like it alot.

Novacaptain, catahoochee, Scourvensen- Very nice stuff.

loftamannen- Really like you're style. I think you're right about destroying your pics, it's easy to get set on one style, good to shake it up a bit too sometimes, I need to do a bit of destroying.

Phil- You're quick man.

Very cool work.

TossMonkey- Not too sure with painter, maybe someone here that uses it can help.

andreasj- Great pic, I like the contrast of detailed and plane areas, really nice style. Hope to see more.

Basse_Ex- Using a wacom myself, although I did a lot of this type of stuff with a mouse in the past, prefer some of it to the pen ones, come out more raw, sometimes the accidents can be cool.

PixelPeZ- Very cool, considering you haven't drawn many humans before, maybe try blocking in some stronger whites in areas for contrast perhaps.

Cicinimo- I think your one is really nice, really like your loose sketching style.

Love the work in this thread.
Had to try myself. Was so tempting to add some red.

Here is a quick one I did. This B&W art is really inspiring.

Basse_Ex · Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2002 9:35 am

I'll jump in on this too... seems so darn fun...

malador

The problem is that I don't have a wacom, so I did it the old-fashioned way, with my trusty old Windsor&Newton series 7... which was alot harder than I expected... but I think I pulled it off in the end.

good job guys, everyone, great work.

pixelsoldier · Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2002 10:45 am

Holy crap, this thread is incredible!

I'm gonna go draw now.

Psssstt.. Micke.. you should contribute some new b/w stuff dude. That is, if you have the time of course.

steady · Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2002 12:41 pm

And then he realized, life was a quick, silly experience...

yeah my light composition is terrible but i had fun sketching this out after class today

lets see more guys

thedaemon · Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2002 1:30 pm

Ok, here is my second try. This is a peasant worker. Tell me what you think. Improvement?
I went away from my profile view, (sucked) and tried something totally different. Still haven't figured the shading out yet, but I will keep working on it.

Ogg · Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2002 7:08 pm

Here is another attempt... Great work ppl.

All of those are impressiv, really. I really like this b/w style and the way all of you play with the light to reveal the shape.
Here is my modest contribution, done after seeing your inspiring work...

BooMSticK · Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2002 5:40 am

All this stuff rocks. I'd try my hand at this thread but I'm moving and don't have time. If it can stay alive for another week maybe =P Looks like it might, nice damned work coming out. Keep it going guys.
