Quick Sketch

good stuff, Apathy. Nice attention to detail and good compositions all around.

I think something you might want to pay a bit more attention to would be perspective (& foreshortening)… imho it’s keeping your pics from being really good. Right now I look at it and I go, “that’s really cool.” But the errors in perspective keep the pic stuck around there. I believe that if you worked on it your stuff would be bumped up to the next level.

keep drawing,
cheers!

Sorry if I didn’t get the costume right, he’s such a bitch to find clear reference for.

Hope this is what you wanted.

Line art got colored for some reason again… I really need to track down what the hell does this and figure out how to turn it off.

lol it’s cool man. I think it looks great! If I asked the first characters I actually had in mind, now that woulda been a real bitch. But Capt’n is still dope.

Excellent work, hope udon thinks the same.

How about some Karin love, throw some shippu jinrai kyakuu for efect :stuck_out_tongue:

Shippu jinrai kywhathehell? It’s a move, right?

?!

Shippu Jinrai Kyaku is Ken’s SA3. what Karin move are you trying to talk about?

Buzzer You didn’t reply to what the hell a “shippu jinrai kyakuu” was so this is all you get, sorry.

good

these sketches are great apathy… keep at it with the perspective, eventually you will gradually get it- ( the best one I like here is the Zangeif vs Sakura ) …sometimes it helps to spend a little more time constructing the advanced poses first… :karate:

I appreciate all the comments.

I’d like to know which exact sketches or poses are the ones with the bad perspective. Also, which parts are wrong and why.
Simply saying “work on it” doesn’t do me any good if I don’t know what to work on.
(besides the Mai/Ibuki one, because we already covered that)

I love you, b. Nah, seriously. I love your work. Now CG THIS SHIT!!! PLZ

I’m not a good colorist. That’s why I never posted any of my colored stuff on deviant art.
I know a few tricks but it doesn’t really matter much, it all looks like basic stuff.
Plus my computer is pretty crappy and slow and my pen tool is less than reliable.
I know several top colorists in the industry, so I know how it’s SUPPOSED to look, and how it comes out when I do it.

I’m not being modest, I really do suck at it.
Not as bad as inking…but close.

You wanna see hideous coloring?

http://www.geocities.com/japimpact 'Nuff said.

Why would you do that to my eyes?

Alright, I’m not THAT bad, I do know what “rendering” is.
I’m just not any good at it.

Plus the whole color theory thing is pretty much lost on me.

Gouki Revisited

The Gouki one you drew is the sketch that needs work- Gouki’s legs and left arm/shoulder are Going in a different direction … the angle at which we are viewing him is downwards and , all the while keeping him in perspective with forshortening, Im all basing this on the direction in which he is facing the viewer/opponent-I hope this helps a bit, but here is a quick draw over to show you what I mean …

oh man nice nice, i like your style a lot. i have a couple of requests cause i just want to see these characters a lot but you do not need to do all 3 if you do not want just do my first choice…

Basara (samurai showdown guy with chain and chinese star straped to the chain)

You got any reference for Basara? I can’t find anything decent on google.

Spectacular.

I hate my computer. I mean really really hate it.

Anyways…a couple things I’ve done recently for various reasons.
This one is for the hell of it.
Working on pages for Udon so little to no updates for while.
But I figured I’d get this thread back on the first page.

So here’s Millia. :smiley:

And I did this for a LJ contest stock photo thingie.
Anyways…Edward from FMA.

I guess we can’t upload stuff anymore, since it told me Millia exceeded the limit by 882.9mbs. Which just seems all kinds of wrong to me.

Umm that was odd…? Scratch what I said earlier. I just gotta say, I know what I saw… Good shit, Ap! Effective usage in contours as always! :tup:
