ooooh nice little piece. I really love the the shading and crispness of this somehow.

Looks like Goldie-locks finally bought a new RP-540 Grenade Bow. Those pesky bears will pay...

Great work roundeye

The rendering is luscious.

Icannon · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 1:22 pm

wicked, roundeye. i like the perspective. why do all your characters have mechanical arms? :]

canistr · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 1:41 pm

that's so fresh, roundeye. i love your style. the backpack is really cool.

Sparks · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 1:46 pm

I lub your shading! Good looking and great texture... everything except for the nose... I'm not really sure why, but it's scary, very scary. Maybe just simplify it a little and make it a little less prominent cause it's really throwing off the look of her face

Frosted Flame · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 1:52 pm

OH MY FUCKING LORD.

That is astonishing! I totally envy you. Wow. I have no crits whatsoever. To me, it's perfect.

Hmm.. could I/we have a larger version? I'd love for that to be my desktop wallpaper. If not, I totally understand bro.. just thought I'd ask

I really like the foreshortening effect. She's pretty hot too

Toronto!? You're from Toronto? Holy shit. What school do/did you go to? I'd love to meet some of you guys in person if anyone is willing. A sort of.. Canadian Sijun Convention

Although, Fallen scares me

DiXter · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 1:58 pm

GAhh!

Fuck, Roundeye!! (sorry for the cursing)

I love your "round" and "bubbley" style..
Do you have a tutorial or something to check out, I would love to see how you're working..

roundeye · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 2:05 pm

hey thanx Viridae and Akolyte.
Icannon, i never realised it, i just draw what i like and i guess thats what i like. ill try not to next time. to see if i can=)
lukias yea those 70s shorts are rad eh? do you remember them? so sexy. youre right about the arrow tip, i messed around with the angle too much.
canistr, thanx man
you really dont like the nose sparks? i think theres bigger issues than the nose.
Frosted Flame heh heh thanx dude! i went to OCA for one year and dropped out. i kind of regret it though. yes, a toronto sijun goon meeting would be rad! well all go to the Brass Rail for some "figure studies" oh and i dont have a bigger version, only of the original pencils that i scanned.

burn0ut · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 2:06 pm

looks sweet man, nice work again.
the perspective on the tip of the arrowbomb thing looks alittle wrong but, its to badass to fix.

u2art · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 2:16 pm

this is your best yet. It looks absolutley beautiful. Also, nice break from the usual pose. I wish you had more time, I'd love to see more from you.

Jezebel · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 2:22 pm

You are awesome Roundeye. Beautiful piece overall, nice shading, great personality, beautiful hair. I agree with Agent on the pose... it's cool to see you do something less static. Hehe, her "arrow" looks kinda like a giant mechanical Q-tip though

I might want to color this one if I have some time, and if you don't mind of course

sear · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 2:29 pm

excellent!
this is your best yet.

please give us some more.

NullTygre · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 2:36 pm

Very, very nice indeed.

By the way, she looks kinda eldar-y. Do you know Warhammer 40k?

Pat · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 5:22 pm

I love it. I don't normally go for cartoony-paintings but this all hangs together very well. For some reason, with me there's a visual dichotomy in using excellent brush technique on cartoony subjects; esp if the cartoony subject is poorly designed. Go figure. This is nice though. Kudos on the b&w, btw. It's honest and speaks directly to the design and structure without using color to hide poor work.

Questions:

Gonna do a color version?
Did you mostly use the airbrush?
I'm assuming this was Painter?

Amazing again roundeye.

FrostedFlame- I scare you??

roundeye- hehe..Brass Rail is my second home...lots of inspiration there, I live right around the corner from it.

Frost · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 7:00 pm

It's very nice indeed Roundeye. Love your work. Keep it up!

Frosted Flame · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 7:42 pm

Haha Fallen, not literally, I was just trying to be clever. Your experience with nude females intimidates me. I think I view as some sort of sex god. Don't get me wrong, I'm not playin' for the "wrong team" or anything, I just have no self-esteem. Haha.

Quite honestly, I'd love to meet you too Fallen, you're one of the best digital artists I've ever come across.

raupe · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 7:44 pm

This is great. I like her pose, the expression on her face and all the tiny little details you put in.

Veeeeery nice!!

KiNgStiNg · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 8:56 pm

damn sekzi...not just her but the whole concept is really stylish

INTENSE · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 9:26 pm

Darkmoon · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2001 11:46 pm

Hi Roundeye,
very nice drawing, all the positive things that I could say about it are allready said

I have a question bout the arm, is it fully robotic, a cybernetic implant or a part of her suit?

I really like the "Smoky" stuff around the characters that you create. Keep up the good work dude.
