Hi

I'm getting a lot of mileage out of those Hong Kong photos.

By the way, here's a link to the line art in case anyone is interested...

Hehe, cool stuff, but I don't think she blends in too well with the photo... too bright-ish, but I guess that's the style. =) Forget I said anything. =)

Frost's comment about high-lighting is what struck me at first sight too. It's good you put the orange light from the back, and whitish light from the front.. but a bit too bright still. Very nice gun

Though I think the figure would need a bit more dark shadows, of like the hand on the hip, fun on the shoulder..

Also, when I first read the topic, I thought it was some Street Fighter arcade thing, "High Kick, Medium Punch"

That has got to be one of the best images I have seen in my whole life "My eyes just had an orgasm"

Marvelous work you've done on her breasts there, Francis.

hey cool work francis, I love the background. How did you do that?

I like it

Although the backround takes you away from the girl, her breasts bring you right back

(naughty, naughty dino)

Heh, SPF 20. Nice touch. Great image, Francis. I really like your Shirow influenced stuff (i.e. girls+mechanical stuff)Are those hot pants army issue?

JOYSUKE · Posted: Tue May 08, 2001 5:17 am

WAAAAAaAAH!So Cool! I want to see this girl in the street, this place look like mongkok, isn't it?

Joachim · Posted: Tue May 08, 2001 5:31 am

Hehe, looks good. Funny situation, I think I would noticed a girl like that on the street

Could be nice with some harder edged shadows maybe ?
what else are you working on these days ?

Great motive, very original

I noticed that the design of the gun dosen't make sense (I'm such a geek :P). Why does it have that huge ammobox on the stock when it's belt fed from the side? It's damn cool anyway, very Shirow in a way.

Sedone · Posted: Tue May 08, 2001 7:08 am

Hot damn! Yeah, she'll need that sunblock. I like the softness you gave her body, but maybe her outfit and helmet could have sharper specular highlights.

Thanks for the feedback!

Frost - that's a good point. I think it's hard to really pull off a blend of photo and cartoony drawing like this, but for some reason I keep trying.

Snake - good ideas - it definitely could use more cast shadows and lighting. It is a little bright for the nighttime setting. That's funny about the title.

daz199 - thanks.

Eviltoylet - (sorry, too lazy to pay attention to which letters to capitalize) yes...

ZakatH - thank you. I'll make more.

FFnex - yeee. Thank you.

A. Buttle - I saved the breast for last.

Cos - har har.

Shinshot - yes, I highly recommend it.

Dino - I agree - the background is not 100% successful.

Gimbal8 - thank Ron Lemen for the SPF idea. I thought it was funny when he came up with it, so I had to put it in. I like women and machiens, too. I'm not sure about the pants - most likely not.

Joysuke - Yes! I guess you would know. Tsim Hsia Tsui was my favorite neighborhood - most of my photos are from there. I wish you could have shown us where to get the good dim sum though - we did not have very good luck with food.

Joachim - me too. Yes, better shadows are needed. We just finished a big deliverable for the new project, and are waiting to hear back from the publisher about it, so a lot of us are sort of on standby. Myst 3 shipped yesterday in the U.S., but unfortunately not until September for Europe. How about you guys?

Gux - here is my BS explanation: The gun is a railgun. Since the kinetic energy of the projectile results from the magnetic field rather than an explosion, there is not a lot of "recoil" to deal with. The box that looks like an ammo box on the end is the power source, basically a big battery, which is connected to two conducting rails placed inside the length of the gun, with a cooling element (the vented box) in the front. The ammo is a belt fed caseless variety, with an electrically conducting integral shell (the gold part) with a number of different available tips (i.e. hollow point, armor piercing, etc.). I just made them red to go with her nails.

Sedone - yes, I agree. I might have to go back and work on this some more after the comments.

great work on this one. Also, I'm glad you had the gun all thought out like that. Too often people draw without thinking it through and that's when you get a drawing that dosn't acheive the realism the artist may have been going for. I really like the soft edges on the skin as mentioned before.
