yes indeed nice gief, rook. And Landel’s crit will help my gief as well!
kando: you got your tablet back but it still looks like you’re using a mouse lol. I’m just joking. It looks great though!
I like the younger akuma look. I would use darker values under his chin and armpit. The arm and the body looks like its all one piece. And you should keep the lines on another layer then delete it when you’re done to take that noline style allllllllll the way baby.
^ROFL! :lol: Darker values under his chin and armpit?! What’s that about? Hahaha
Switch - I messed with that in photoshop. I use chalk pastel in painter mostly because it’s teh GAHDLY!
SFMC - Yeah, I meant like Painter-wise, is that acryllic or oil?
Rook - Yeah, I’ve been sort of a biter lately. It was fun mimicking his work. My hairlines have always been horrible for some reason. I gotta study hair again. Thanks for reminding me!
Bah… I think I’ll just post up the lineart first. The cg is taking way too long and photoshop crashed on me.
Yeah I am more of a stoic calm Akuma guy too. I was gonna draw a better picture of him all wise looking, but I just never got to it.
Oh well, Sagat is next. And yeah PS is a beast.
I like your Zangief, he’s all look at my MUSCULES ! DAH !
I like your style Landel, but most of all I like your anatomy(?) lessons, I’m learning… heaps.
>_>
Now i’m talking like them, jez.
Rook: Good lookin Gief. The “hurr hurr hurr” cracks me up. Other than what Landel already covered, my only crits are that the knuckles are lookin a little too ball-like, and that the hair on his chest is a tad flat looking. Can’t wait to see the Akuma.
Kando: Lookin good dude. The others pretty much covered the critiquing. Hehe, I’ve been considering trying that full painted style myself too, but 1. I’m afraid to lose my lines, haha, and 2. I rather enjoy inking. Maybe I’ll try soon anyways.
Landel: Beautiful muscle schematic. I’m totally diggin it. Cool Ken too. I think he’s got a bit too much lean to his pose, so he looks kinda unbalanced. Also, I think the hands are just a bit small too. Better to err on the side of big rather than small when cartooning.

ak-UMAR: Lookin good man! Some of the structure looks just a bit funny. Try starting with basic 3D forms like boxes and cylinders and building from that. Don’t be afraid to play up the lighting more. The purple light would probably spread over more of his body than just that little area.
Venturi: Hehe, I’m gonna guess that you did not read the about page for this challenge. This works on a schedule. One character per week. Sodom isn’t for another 6 weeks, and Adon not for 8 weeks. Try to stay on schedule. I’ll critique later, I’m taking a break at work right now.

Nice Akuma akumar. what a tongue twister. Yeah I agree with what chain said already so we’ll leave it at that.
Cool ken land. Swift sharp neat linework. Looks animated.
Kando. I used pscs for that. I hardly ever use painter due to it being so laggy and also hard to get small deatials in there. If i do use painter i go with thick wet impasto. Mimics oilpaint pretty good. Feels like it also.
And coco I didnt base my design off alpha gen. As much as I love 3s, I never draw or color akuma with his white skunk hair trim.
well heres the gief. It was going pretty good but i screw up his left arm and legs royally. Then I just do some random shadings to avoid drawing the muscles for his right arm lol.
ak-umar
the style reminds me of some animated programme. can’t remember which one for the life of me though.
Venturi
DIE JOB DEATH CAR --> too good
like the Sodom one. you’re early 
DFist
that Gief reminds me of Shinkirou’s CVS1 Zangief artwork… must be the round head
“you’re next” or “YOU~!”
Ken done (bad joke there)… gah. Akuma will be late.
Holy Crap man!.. We almost got the same looking Akuma!..
I like your Zangief, D-Fist; looks like Stalin just got back to power!.. Love the pose Rook!..
Thanks for the tips guys. I need to get into the habit of using basic shapes and then building from that, as my drawings always come out looking a bit weird.
Good stuff everyone else.
I moved my Adon and Sodom to my painters help thread, if you want to critique they will be there. Again sorry for messin up the flow of the thread.
DFist: Looks good man. He’s very stout and powerful looking. Pose is cool too; looks like he’s callin someone out for a challenge. Something looks a little odd to me depth-wise with the way his left arm is going straight down, but overlaps his leg like that. Maybe it should hang more at his side rather than his front.
Rook: Good sense of movement with that pose. The musculature is lookin good except one little thing. The deltoid should overlap the triceps rather than have the triceps cut into the deltoid like that.
Seba: Daym, mang. That’s my favorite drawing of yours yet. The falling papers really add a lot to the picture. The hands look really good, except I think his right hand is bending at an impossible angle at the wrist.
looks like a teenage akuma, however i like the scrolls on the sides, it gives the jap vib, i don’t doubt that akuma would look like that.
oh and rook, ain’t no fucking way ken has that much muscle, or then agian he could, look at akuma( a capcom drawn akuma).
New Ken done to match the style of the rest of my entries:
