btw: comments are welcome... ;-)

Well, I need to get better and maintain my skills...mostly get better..*s* So I started this image. When I start out I really dont have a clear vision of what I want. The only difrence this time was that I got the pose down first..and that kinda inspired me to do the theme, of a Marine Soldier in the future. The links are to difrent states of the image so far. Some of you might find my method..a bit provoking..borderline cheating. I use the tools that gets the job done. Here are the difrent states:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5

And here is the last version:


For those of you that wants to try this image yourself..dont have to..you can leave it..just if you feel like it..for your own personal satisfaction of showing me how it REALLY should be done..*s* Here is a link to the outline sketch:

Are you going to finish this image?
It looks promising enough. The armor looks really good and the robotic leg could be really nice if given enough attention.

Sadly i find myself lacking in the coloring department.
Can't help you there bro.
Someone else will have to take on the challange.

hmm, I'm new here, I'm sorry, but "what the fuck is this?"
Ok, you show the steps and say that you make it "this way" to get the job done. But, it's obvious that you do that because you don't know shit about how to draw things yourself. Not that it is cheating, because if you knew how to make it right, you would have solved things, but you just mess around and fuck things up.
Alsos your choice of subject............
Bluaaaaargh! It stinks, just like your nickname:P Plan out your pic before starting.. Your cropping sucks. And btw, slap some more rust & metal on that mutha..

-ok, I may not know shit about art, but I know shit about shit. And, this is SHIT!

Slayer 1:

Welcome, I hope you will enjoy this forum, and share your art with us. That is what makes this forum so great, people sharing theire art hoping for help, and creative input.

"what the fuck is this": Its a image, painted in Photoshop..I thought that was rather obvious, maybe you should contact your local eyedoctor..maybe he can help

"don't know shit about how to draw things yourself": Your right..I am very bad a drawing 3D images that Poser renders soooo much better then me..thats why I use that as a "guide" to draw my marine soldier on top..I use the poser figure to get the perspective and proportions right. After doing that a few times I teach myself perspective and proportions, making me a better drawer. So I one day dont have to do that..its called "a learning process". I am sure there is one where you live for "personal development and expanding narrowmindnes"

"but you just mess around and fuck things up": ach..you are so right..I relly do mess upt with girls..you know..I havent gotten laid in EVER!!! They are sooo complex..wanting this..needing that...oh..you mean the image?? hmm..where did I mess up?? I mean..its not even done...lots and lots of things yet to paint. so..maybe we both should have a look at it when its done to kinda find the areas that I royaly messed up..or point them out now so I can fix it...I know, its a strange concept for you..its called "Constructive critics".

"Alsos your choice of subject............
Bluaaaaargh! It stinks, just like your nickname": ok Slayer...1....I will just have to move in with you in Soviet Union some time around the 1980...I mean...we cant have me strolling around paiting what ever suits my mind..thats..OUTRAGEOUS!!! I must suport the communistic regime..paint for the good of people and what SLAYER1 tells me to....I must be a mindles drone..have no thoughts..other then knowing how to draw..which I am not very good at anyway..as you have already stated..so..hmm....all this from Slayer1..just the name..Slayer1..its..a stroke of genious....taste it.. Slayer1..not Slayer2 or...redneck34 or arsewhipe666..but SLAYER1!!..just genious...

"ok, I may not know shit about art, but I know shit about shit. And, this is SHIT": Your intimate knowledge of shit really paid of...I really dont think I need to say more..

as of the image..I will paint more on it..slap som rust on da motha..or something else that would simulate wear and tear..some how I dont think a future soldier would drag around a massive rustin iron plate...anyhow..thank you for your input, hope to see your art...or shit...here one day.

Some people just make life to easy....

Edible Snowman: I caaaant..he is soooo funny..I mean..he is begging for it..hes so tasty..like a piece of chocolate..mmmh..*s*

That a boy AKIRA_x.
SLAYER1 for your first post I think you should have concidered a more humbling reply. There have been others that have taken your approch and they have either been ignored or harassed. If you have come here to learn, then being a jack@$$ not going to help you. Just like Mom used to say, 'do onto others, as you would have done onto you.'

AKIRA_x- keep on working on it, practice makes perfect.
