Definitely liking this–they not lame,son 
Thanks for the crits man! I’m definitely trying to step it up for editors and what not. I llook forward to more crits from you.
fucking love the new pieces toko! that sayaka looks promising. i must color it! you should do more realism… perhaps hyori?
CPS_3 wow, for a quick coloring it came out pretty good. how did you apply the colors anyway?
and kando, drawing hyori doesn’t sound like a bad idea =]
here’s a colored version of my sf poster. colored by my friend johnny.

Whoa! I was thinkin’ Ando too before I read the sentence after. Good shi’. 
check out my new blog and drop some comments, please. www.ironpinky.blogspot.com i opened it halfway through my second semester of school.
here’s my final project for storytelling class.
i’m not sure how many of you know of the guy, but it’s a four page story depicting elliot smith’s inconclusive death.

Nice stuff. I especially like the detail on the teeth in the close up shot on the woman on the second page and when Elliot grins on page three.
My fave shot in the comic is where he is playing with the broom like a guitar in a dreamlike (?) state, so awesome. You have a great sense for setting scenes effectively.
I’d suggest being careful with putting so many lines into the teeth, especially lines between each tooth. Generally speaking, its a better idea to just have the contours and the gums define the teeth for you. Its your style though, so yeah.
thanks for the comment =] i’ve been getting a lot of complaints about the way i draw teeth lol. i’ll fix that bad habbit when it comes to drawings girls and handsome men =/
here’s a work in progress page(1 of 3) that i’m prepping for the san diego comic con.
takes place at a concentration camp during world war two back when sinister was working for hitler and the nazi party.
only the first panel is finished.
and although you can barely see, panel four is in its linework stage. my scanner is too crappy to pick up light pencils =(
panel four shows sinister from the waist up with the three figures in the foreground heavily cropped.

Toko, your sequentials are nice, you have such great contrast in your panels. i agree with diavle on your lines for your teeth. i think… rather than adding, i think you should show a little less definition. because now, noticing the guy on the last panel lying dead, all of that blank space really brings focus to him. i think ‘less is more’ would sum up what i’m trying to say. :tup:

I dig, I dig. I like how you continued the girl through 2 panels. The lighting bugs me though. Since the cast shadows on the ground suggest it’s coming behind the guy, but everything else suggests that it’s coming from the right front of him. And on page 2, shouldn’t the darks be on the left? Since the camera angle didn’t change.
thanks for the crits. on the first panel, i made the floor completely black, and that gets confusing with the shadows. i shouldn’t have done that =[
and i have no excuse for the light direction change on the 2nd page =p i should’ve been more careful.
sorry for the lack of updates.
i finished the first page of my pool hall comic.

i noticed the ball colors/placement needs to be fixed to match each panel.
and panel 3/2nd tier, the action scene is way too boring.
more crits would be greatly appreciated though =]
Ooo… really liking the 3rd panel. GREAT pose. And love how it segues into the close up in the 4th panel.
perspective in the 6th panel seems a bit off though. Like there’s some sort of fisheye effect going on… I don’t think the lines (denoting flooring) should fan out that much.
rook- yeah, i think the pool table that she’s leaning on is off. the side that her left hand is on is out of perspective. and yeah, the floor tiles seem to be fish eyed, i should throw the vanishing point even further away.

latest piece-
finally, something sf related =p
dude… that birdie is boss. birdie is regularly depicted as somewhat clowny imo and you totally made him look badass. i like your attention to detail in your work. specially the hands.
Your style reminds me of Alvin Lee’s quite a bit. Keep up the good work!
shubacca - i was referencing sota’s action figure with birdie’s serious face attached haha
scissorman - alvin lee’s actually one of my fav artists, sucks that he’s not working on the main sf arc. then again, chamba’s amazing
wip for fun =]
pencil to colors
i haven’t cleaned the image up yet, but threw in some flats
and some three tone shading on birdie and bison
why is rose hailing hitler
Hey Nice Job!! I’m really digging the work. Your very talented. Also I have a few questions to ask if you can answer them, How do you color or “blend” your artwork? I just got a wacom intuos and photoshop and a scanner. Any tips?
thanks =]
i normally just color under my line work on a different layer.
and i don’t really ‘blend’ anything. i just choose lighter and darker shades of a specific color and create the illusion of different tones of shades. i hope that helps.
Man, that colored SF pic looks mint! BE awesome to see it when it’s finished!
