Quick-Crit 2010

[kid908]

You're going to have some smoothing errors with your current edge flow. I'd also add another layer of edge loop on your cylinder cap, but that's more of a personal preference, it makes it more flat with a sharp edge instead of this weirdly light-ish ring around the edge. Don't be afraid to make the detail floating geo if it messes the smoothing to the point where working a way around is well, too much work.

Also get some high res ref, from looking at your details, you're using a low res ref that doesn't show alot of the details well.

[NotZac]

You're going to have some smoothing errors with your current edge flow.I see a few of them. They're pretty unnoticeable, but surely they can be fixed. Would you (or someone) mind showing me how you would approach some of the sections that are bad/ugly?


I'd also add another layer of edge loop on your cylinder cap, but that's more of a personal preference, it makes it more flat with a sharp edge instead of this weirdly light-ish ring around the edge.Wow, that actually does make a difference. I'll keep this in mind next time.


Also get some high res ref, from looking at your details, you're using a low res ref that doesn't show alot of the details well.Lol, the model is an attempt at the DMR from Halo: Reach. It seemed like a simple enough model to really familiarize myself with sub-dividing objects. The references/renders I have are, at max, 1920 x 1080. That seems a bit large for such blatantly absent details, so I believe it's on my behalf why the model is boring.

[kid908]

Here's a DRM i partially did a while back. some of the edges are a bit tight, but I think i got the down.

I've always wondered if you could use some probability functions to predict movement better when they're strafing. Sometimes you just know they're gonna move back the other way and so you place your shot differently. If you're bored you could look into that.

[CrAsHOvErRide]

When strafing this AimBot hits unless the player strafes very fast. Since most players have the same strafing interval it should be possible to make an algorithm for that. Though when strafing, this bots hits 90% of the time headshot.

Im learning on making normals and AO's in MAX, so I did this teeny weeny thingy. I noticed some bad parts, so I am fixing them. Also, should I put dents in the normal map for metal surfaces?

[neuro]

it's a start.

you're not done though, needs more dust, wear, showing of paint-layers (can be dont in normalmap) and a few bumps and dents would do alot of good too.

in my opinion, it's a bit of a flat thing, and not a very interesting design, but considering it's texture practice, i guess it's fine.

It's just that all the detail at the top is white and it doesn't look like you even textured it there. Maybe some brass or something for the railing would look good.

The hip joint bothers me a bit. Unlike most everything else, it doesn't seem to have a mechanism operating it, and if it does, that mechanism is cramped into a very small area, an area that doesn't quite look like it could support the body.

(what I'm trying to say is that the hip joint could use various pistons, levers, tubes, and wires within the leg socket's radius.)

[neuro]

ye i know what you mean, i've been doing that joint for ages now, and i'm calling it fine for now, maybe i'll change it around when i get more of the body done if it doesnt ft in etc.

[kid908]

I was bored and threw a few scene together with ripped content. I have to say, the tris count on these models really surprised me. I'm wanting to make one with Tychus and Raynor, but I'm having trouble finding the Tychus model.

Dark lighting really brings out starships. I've never really been accustomed to seeing well lite starships. Sorry about the bloomlike effect. was trying to get a focus blur, but I kinda like the rim lighting of the ships.

http://a.imageshack.us/img52/4385/novaf.jpg
(if you're wondering what's the machine, it's a siege tank in siege mode)

Starships are GAME models for the actual game.

Nova and the Siege Tank are models that appear on the Hyperion and in real time cutscenes.

What, zergling not good enough for ya mister?

Kid: No, it really doesn't. It obscures them horrendously. Brighten that shit up! I can't even tell what's going on. It took me a good five seconds to find out that it was a picture of a fleet of void rays and... a mothership? I don't even know.

[kid908]

I play Protoss alot and I kinda gave up on zerg after I found out Karrigan wasn't in any of the real time cinematics. I have some zergs that I was saving to throw into the Tychus/Raynor scene if I can find Tychus.

Are you talking about the Blur as well?

[ExAm]

It doesn't look so much blurred as it does just really dark. Everything's in shadow and it's really hard to make out what's what.

Its a Bandos God Chestplate from Runescape. I really liked the design of it, but hated how horrible of a model they had, considering its Runescape after all. So I decided to see if I could do it after over a year of not touching 3ds max. Not really doing anything with it, just kinda for practice.

Played Guild Wars for 5 years and then I wrote bots and ban. ^^ [/offtopic]

[ICEE]

what I liked about runescape was that it had an actual free market economy. Granted it wasn't a good simulation of real life because you didn't flat out need the items for survival, (despite some people acting like they did), but it was a lot of fun devising ways to make money. (I settled on selling weed)

Yeah, look, I don't have a problem with furries themselves, but it gets to be upsetting when I'm subjected to explicit (or implicit, I suppose) images over and over. There's a difference between being artistically expressive and drawing something that turns you on and sharing it with people who don't feel the same way. I'm trying to be tolerant, but I'd be annoyed if somebody kept drawing anime in suggestive heterosexual poses too. The point is, I don't give a fuck what your private life is like, but it's private for a reason, furry or not.

This. I don't care if you like furries sel, but just no dude, what you're doing can be like left in your private hdd. This is what ruined deviantart.

mini rant unrelated mostly:
how the hell is taking a picture and making a demot. out of it considered art? when is taking unfocused pictures of yourself is really not that attractive poses with a point and shoot camera art? No, I'm not saying all point and shoot camera photos are not art, I'm saying myspace picture is not art. There is a technique to taking GOOD pictures with point and shoot cams. I can tolerate those weird ass fan fiction since you're actually using your imagination to write the story and/or draw it out with actual technique and not instant repulsion.

What I'm saying is, if it's borderline soft-core, put it in spoiler or leave a link with warning. I'm sure there's people who check this thread during school or work and frankly, this is kind of NSFW.

HUGGING IS TERRIFYING I KNOW MAN

[sdavis117]

Or just do what I did and ignore him.

So a friend of mine is making a collection of short stories he and some other people have written, and he wanted me to write a sort of action short story for it. I decided to begin it at the Climax (one of those "we'll show you the climax first, then have a flashback, then the climax again, then the ending" kind of things). This is what I have so far:


Blood. That's all I could smell. Blood. Who's though? Did it belong to the person in front of me? No. He didn't even have a scratch. He was winning. That could only leave one person. Me. Just sitting here, barely able to not pass out after the beating I have just endured. The person standing in front of me just stared at me. He knew the same thing I did. I can't win this. I have lost. He held his sword out, a personal item that he seemed to use as if it was part of his body.

He took one step towards me, I flinched at the thought of what was going to happen in several seconds. He took another step, closing the honestly short gap between us by a pretty serious chunk. I was honestly hoping he would take shorter steps. Maybe that would make my life just a little longer. At this point I thought to myself that I could measure my remaining lifespan in seconds.

He took a third step, halfway there. I tried crawling back, but I slipped in the pool of my blood that was collecting before me. It wouldn't make any difference though, I was against a wall. He had me cornered. I thought cornered creatures were supposed to be able to fight beyond their limit. I felt no such feeling. I felt myself get weaker as the blood drained from my body. Fourth step. I didn't believe in a god. Maybe that was my issue. Maybe this was his or her way of smiting me for disbelief. I started to pray. Fifth step. Please, I know a miracle is out of the question at this point. I know I'm going to die, but please God, if you are going to take away my ability to do so, please protect my friends with your abilities. Let them live their lives without me being there to help them.

Sixth step. His foot was in the pool of my blood. He looked at me and lifted his sword. This was it. He knew it, I knew it. This is what it had come to. I had thought that I was strong enough to do anything. Damn, this must be the world's way of teaching those who think they are invincible a lesson. I felt like the Titanic, and this man in front of me was the iceberg that decided to sink me.

Wow, what am I thinking. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about. I probably sound like some crazy person babbling on about some imaginary event. Maybe it would be best if I started at the beginning. Back to May 3rd...
I think the last paragraph could be worded better, but I have no idea how.

Hey odx guess what, posing is a big part of drawing, so are proportions. You may not have known this, since you're 12, and retarded, but hopefully my post here will bring you some enlightenment in the matter.

I'm posting in this thread because I want feedback (see jpeg's post for a good reference of what everyone should be doing :> ), if I was good at drawing, then maybe I would want to use my gallery thread to show off (If you looked at mine, you'd notice there's no feedback at all !). Quite frankly if you're unwilling to be helpful and actually point out what I need to work on in my drawings, and would rather cry about them being furry instead, you and everyone else whining shouldn't be in this thread.

Anyway if furry art disgusts you that much odx, I suggest you never set foot in this thread for the foreseeable future :)

~*story*~

You seem to have a tendency to use some pretty awkward expressions. For example...


Me. Just sitting here, barely able to not pass out after the beating I have just endured

The line "...barely able to not pass out after the beating..." makes sense, but it isn't worded very well - "...barely conscious after the beating..." is more succinct, and sounds a lot nicer. Also, "...I have just endured" doesn't make sense. The word "have" ought to be replaced with the word "had" so the tense remains the same. In addition to this, "here" should actually be "there", as the first few lines of your story indicate that it is written in past tense.

The tense wavers a lot throughout your story. You need to pick one (I'd suggest past tense, it seems to make things a bit less awkward) and stick with it.

You've made a good start though, so stick with it :-3

PS. Sel, your drawings look really nice!

I love how I post a render of something for opinions, and we end up with a page and a half of arguments over disturbing furry images haha

Can't you just use spoiler tags?
Btw, I doubt ODX is the retarded one here. By seeing what you enjoy drawing... well it kind of makes you the retarded one. :iamafag:l
Fyi; People tend to crit on things they like, so you will get less crit with disturbing drawings. *As you can see, Jpeg and llama were about the only helpful ones (according to you)*. So your so called need of "crit", doesnt seem to apply here. The attention to your drawings is more like it. :realsmug:

[Amit]

Seriously, sel. I'd be glad if you went back to just the trains.

[ICEE]

how about everyone stops calling each other retarded and disgusting and talks about oh, say, maybe criticism?

[ExAm]

How about Sel stops posting softcore porn without spoiler tags?

[Donut]

yeah just use spoiler tags. first time i came in this thread before i knew sel was posting this stuff, there were some people around who saw one of the images. that wasnt fun to explain. now about half a dozen people think i was browsing a furry porn forum.

we dont need this big argument shit storm. you could solve the problem just by using spoiler tags. those who want to give you crit can give you crit, and those who dont like the subject matter can not click the spoiler button. seems simple enough, right?

[ODX]

You may not have known this, since you're 12, and retarded...No, you really need to stop with this. You should know very well I've become quite a well-respected animator (albeit lazy and lacking time to do much recently), 15 years old, and clearly not retarded.

Your "art is art" comment for -rep'ing me is a terrible reason. The Quick-Crit thread in my eyes, has been about art (yes we know that)...but what you're doing is abusing it, ruining other people's spotlight and opportunity. I've seen it happen dozens of times beforehand, and it pisses me off. It even happened to me:
I remember one time I posted a video with a nice set of animations I had worked hard on for the past weeks or so, putting it together and showing it in this thread hoping for some great critique from the other animators around here, as well as the non-animators since they would mostly be the ones using my animations meaning their opinions matter greatly to me.

Know what happened? Someone, I forget who, came in and posted some barely-started model of whatever. Everyone completely ignored what I had posted after that, and it just made. me. sick.

Why is there not a rule against this (posting work before another receives comments)? In no way is it fair to the person who worked damn hard on something and really wanted to see what others thought...then they get a big "fuck you" in their face and no one gives a shit about what they did anymore because "Oh look a few modeled planes! Let's comment on this!"

I don't intend to start an argument, I just really want to bring up this topic up and learn why people are so inconsiderate, and why nothing is ever done to fix the wrongs done.

Generally most people who constantly post similar artwork in the quick crit thread have been asked to start their own threads. You'd probably get a similar (although not nearly as harsh) reaction if you were constantly posting trains in here.

Not everyone knows how to give constructive crit to animations, I sure as hell don't. Posting in this thread doesn't guarantee that you'll get some crit on what you post, it's just a thread to put your work out into the spotlight, and hope that someone will be nice enough to comment on it.

So I post it here, to see what they think because most of the time I could just bother ICEE or another animator on Xfire about it.

[p0lar_bear]

Christ.

This shit stops now.

Sel, first and foremost, use your head. Even the cleanest furry art sparks controversy thanks to the reputation the fandom is infamous for. If you're going to post poses for critique here, could you please at the very least pose your characters in fashions that the average person won't see as suggestive or softcore porn?

Everyone else, this is the quick-crit thread. This thread is meant for posting things for feedback, or for providing feedback to the posted media. Critique the work, not the subject matter. If you feel a post is objectionable, use the report post button.

If I come back in here and see another piece of borderline-clean art, infraction. If I come back in here and see another bitchfight over said piece, or hell, anything else, infractions. You've been warned.

kid, i know what photo you did that from, and i'll tell you, your tones are all over the place and such a mish-mash that you don't represent any materials at all. There is no differentiation between glass, leather, skin, fabric, metal, stone. Nothing. Also, the way you've shaded her face makes the shape look like a wedge of pizza. Literally like this :> It also looks like you got lazy on the hair, you don't draw strands of hair, because it ends up looking like a rat's nest. Don't overwork the hands, either, or they end up looking mangled or aged. Your proportions also look off.

Don't overwork the hands, either, or they end up looking mangled or aged. Your proportions also look off.

I've been trying to practice tones, but it's slow in progress. I have trouble with glass. I just can't ever get it right. I'd like to throw down fabric weave but never got it to a point where I like during practices. I can see what you mean with the face. That's just bad eyeing the values. How would you do hair? I haven't had much experience with hair. Thx for the tip about the hands. I have a grid layout on the ref and canvas. I had to compensate mainly with the right arm around the glass bottles. I was too focused on the reflection to realize how large it was getting.

I'll apply the crit in the next piece. I'll try and find one with varrying textures and work on diffrientiating them.

[SnaFuBAR]

For a fabric weave, use tactile plates. They work the same way as when you were a kid running around with a No.2 pencil and computer paper, making rubs of quarters and pennies. For hair i would block it out dark and erase out to light. That's my personal way I would approach it. If any illustrator here would like to correct me, that's cool. As for the glass and reflections, look at how much it contrasts there. Redoing just that would be good practice because it is shot in a studio environment, and you only have to worry about that one hotspot/lamp reflection (i can't tell which it is) rather than a reflection of a full environment.

Also, what paper are you using? The grittiness makes it look like it's seriously inappropriate for this, like it has too much tooth.

[kid908]

I think the grain was from the cam, I need a new scanner still :(

also, I selected a small area and redid it on drawing paper(first time around was on copy paper).

It's not quite done, but any opinions?

[Rob Oplawar]

More edge loops? :x
I'd like to know this too. I need to get into subd modeling.

[Hunter]

Can't really add a horizontal edge loop as it would tighten the edge and it's meant to be curved. Adding more edge loops around the hole just makes a flat face and doesn't get rid of the pinch...

[Hunter]

Fixed it, make a star shape. Still a slight pinch but you can hardly see it.

The metal ground, never would lie that easily (flat plane), add angles to the metal edges, chamber the edge?

[ThePlague]

Don't make it out like that, move it on some more so it seems more enclosed. It has too much the shape of the rest of it.

[Hunter]

Another problem here, how would I get rid of the pinching at the top of this shape as it's on a curve... can't add an edge as it would tighten that curve at the top...

So, for it to be mathematically correct, you're saying apply the curve to the surface after the subdivision is applied?

[Disaster]

I usually use more segments for the curve. The added segments function as supporting edges.

far as I can tell, the model is well executed, but I just hate these reach designs. It looks like they created them specifically to use more polygons.
Elaborate engines open up the elaborate use of polys. Besides, give a team of 200+ game designers a brand new engine to where they CAN add that many polys and what would you expect?

[Donut]

^elaborate detail in places that dont look stupid :shrug:
i mean it seems like bungie tried their damnedest to make the weapons look as unnecessarily complicated as possible. i would have put that toward a scarab that doesnt have a 6 sided cylinder for a leg joint, but thats just me

[ICEE]

Elaborate engines open up the elaborate use of polys. Besides, give a team of 200+ game designers a brand new engine to where they CAN add that many polys and what would you expect?

New technological breakthroughs don't validate ridiculous design changes. They could've remodeled the halo 1 AR using far more polies to enhance the feel, rather than warp it into what they did. Not saying they should've used the same AR design (though that'd make sense), merely proving a point.

[DarkHalo003]

Meh, I like the designs mainly because it fits the game and the game's atmosphere. The AR is also probably one of the best looking weapons in the game IMO, which is why I don't mind having it in Campaign as much as I do. I'm glad they used more Polies for the phantom, environment (greatly freaking needed), and the characters. I think it's better to have more polies than not enough polies anyways in an engine like this.

[ICEE]

you are so not getting the point. No one is saying that using polies is bad. We're saying that using polies for the sake of using polies is bad.

[Hunter]

It seems Bungie give the Halo weapons a more modern day feel and a bit more realism, they seem to look more functional and human. I generally think the designs are awesome and interesting.

[Donut]

i just feel like they could have spared some of those ridiculous shapes and details to put the polies toward something else, like making things NOT 6 sided cylinders. ESPECIALLY when they are zoomed in on during a cutscene.
yes, using polies is good, but just using them on stupid looking stuff just because you can is kind of irritating. im not fond of any of the gun designs besides the magnum. theres just way too much un-necessary tacticool stuff going on.
those guns definitely dont look any more human than any other halo game, though. less imo. i think the reason they seem so much more human is because of all bungie did with the animation. im pretty fond of the animations.

[ICEE]

^ this. Nothing about the reach designs (with the possible exception of the br) are at all similar to modern technology

God damn bro I don't understand why you're being such an ass about this. When people post a bunch of similar stuff often in the quick crit thread, they're asked to start their own thread. It's as simple as that. You posting your work will bump the thread you create. People who want to comment will. :^|

e: And "slipping into oblivion" is a tad extreme. Your thread is still on the front page even though it hasn't been posted in since the start of August.

So someone somehow motivated me to get off my dead ass and make a design for my personal site finally after about a year or so of not doing anything to it.

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/6907/testms.png

I've shown it to a few people, and the consensus is generally that it looks clean and crisp, however it's too monochrome and I'm overusing that gradient. Thing is, though, I like the color blue and I like how it's coming out, and Rob pointed out that I unwittingly made a polar theme with the color scheme as it is.

Any ideas as to what I can do to make it a little more interesting without making it too gaudy?

[CrAsHOvErRide]

http://kuler.adobe.com/

Use different shades of blue?

[p0lar_bear]

I had been using http://colorschemedesigner.com/, hue of 240 degrees.

I figure some teal would be good, but where the hell should I put it? Making the containers have that background color just looks ugly imo.

[Newbkilla]

stop with all the gradients imo, use shades of solid blue, grey, and white.

try this color of blue: 3B77B3

And also, the title bar at the top with your name etc, make that a different color so it stands out more, considering you want people to look there first.
For the buttons, don't use blue, but rather a like gradient of grey and light grey, similar to the ones on the "post quick reply" button.

[p0lar_bear]

Newb: That shade made a better base color, thanks.

How's this? I dunno what do to about hyperlink colors, so I made them a bluish grey for now:

[p0lar_bear]

Content will take up that entire lower pane, in fact it was there, I just cut it out for some stupid reason and only showed the top of the page.

Furry spies need to stop taking advantage of me :<

beats getting backstabbed though.

[DEElekgolo]

Hairly lines, unless that is a way to make furries look furrier.

[Sel]

it's called a sketch

[DEElekgolo]

Sounds like an excuse to me.

[Con]

As he gets better he'll commit to longer lines in sketches. Everyone starts with "hairy lines".

[Roostervier]

I never started with hairy lines :v:

[Sel]

what the fuck are hairy lines

and why is that post infracted.

[Rentafence]

It's too sexy for Modacity. You're corrupting our family values.

Sorry.

[Warsaw]

A better description would be "scratchy lines," meaning you lifted the pencil between each scratch of line, joining them together to make your...errr...shape.

I was inspired by the plague doctors of the medieval ages.

No ankles, and fat legs- you need to seriously practice drawing legs.

Edit: Same thing with arms + elbows... or lack thereof.

I'll call your arm-leg things wormies. :)

[ICEE]

The anatomy on your half human monster is unrealistic. I'm with dwood, you should define the elbows and knees. That would make a giant step from scribble to drawing.

[Warsaw]

So basically, what everyone is saying is study human anatomy, and then slap some fur, tails, and snouts on it. And if you want to get really exotic, then you can study some animal anatomy and throw a reverse knee in there.

Basically, your characters have no definition in their separate body components. Two squiggly lines an arm does not make...nor does it make a torso.

Nice train. Needs the other sides.

I see what you mean about the elbows and legs, something was bothering me last night but I couldn't put my finger on what, I Think you nailed it though!

Also that arm leg thing is called klonoa <: (((

It's neither though, it's a sketch, which is before the actual drawing !

Took this photo of some arts students splashing and crying in the fountain.

Good times were had by all.

[Dwood]

Why were they crying?

[paladin]

because they think prancing around is "art"

[thehoodedsmack]

That's a really nice fountain.

[Con]

Why were they crying?

I saw this line of people marching across the center field. They were dressed like that and had black paint smeared all over their body at random. I figured shit was goin' down so I bring out my camera and start taking pictures. They climb up onto that fountain and just stand there, motionless, while the crowds gather. Then they started yelling and screaming and crying, descending into the lower pool to splash around a bit. After about 10 minutes of this, they put on their serious faces and walked out in a line. Crowd: *not sure if clap*

[ExAm]

Sometimes I am ashamed to be an art student.

Working on getting a decent skybox in Crysis.
Got the terrain fleshed out, got some forerunner constructs all worked out and modulated so I can rearrange how I please but I'm looking into setting up sky boxes via the editor.
I want to know if there's anything else to be done to the Halo ring to look like that it's actually in space.
I currently have it set as a distance cloud and a render of the ring exported from 3ds max with a alpha channel.
Any tip's or suggestions on what to change about the ring would be appreciated.
Also any tutorials anyone thinks maybe usefull for lighting scenes would be appreciated as well.

Fade it out more; it shouldn't appear quite so vividly.

[Con]

The clouds should cover it up for one, but I think the brightness doesn't need to much adjustment. Fade it just a little bit.

A project I did in Comp. Art and Design 1 at my school. It was just using a silhouette in the picture.

First time using flash, like, ever. I'm sure I fucked something up.

[TeeKup]

The fact that the horizon line is still there when he's falling.

[ICEE]

if the horizon line wasn't there, he'd be underground. The only thing that bothers me about it is the fact that he jumps headfirst but lands in the opposite position. Other than that, love it. Made me smile

[ExAm]

He lands on his face, his body arches over forward and flops down. That's how I drew it, anyway. Kind of hard to discern at a high FPS.

[ICEE]

if you slowed that part down a bit, gave it more emphasis it might just add to the magic.

[p0lar_bear]

The apparent angle at which he falls and the angle the letters fly out of his mouth as he falls don't match; it looks like he's swooping down, but really, he's just falling.

Also, maybe you should exaggerate the level of the horizon a bit, and have it down a bit lower for the guy on the cliff, then raise it up some as he falls.

I thought of that like, an hour after I posted it. Too tired to edit it now, plus I already turned it in.

@Sever: way too close man; that's uncomfortably close.

[TeeKup]

I love that Concept picture, I can't find it's original source and the others that went with it. There was one of a dome structure that would have fit perfectly with the Forerunner City on Onyx as it was described in the book.

Same.
I'm actually looking into if I can get the ring to look somewhat similar, it might look close but then again the ring is 10k Km's in diameter so i would guess it would look pretty big in the sky anyway.
Guess I gotta get cracking at trying to make renders look good for this to work well.
Edit:
This seems to be as close to the angle in that concept picture as I could manage.

Yeah, just one or two inches out and it'd be perfect.

But damn that's a great picture.

Does anyone know of a way to change the bitmap size in 3ds UV editor without skewering the UV's already there?
I've been working on something and unless the bitmap size is 2/1 the bitmap seems skewered, but I need to add the other half in but each time I try to add more space the entire thing is scaled along with the changes.
Diagram below for what I mean.

change it in the advanced options tab aswell as in the render window?

How the fuck do I draw feet in shoes in perspective

No really how

http://i.imgur.com/wM0ec.jpg

[Warsaw]

Start with a triangle angled properly, add a fourth side to indicate the toe area, then add detail. Least ways, that's what I do.

If you forgive my shitty MS Paint skills and 1600dpi mouse, I try to demonstrate here:
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/1213/examplexd.png

[ExAm]

Triangle? Could you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean, and I can't see what basic shapes you used to construct the feet in your drawing, since you just drew it using lines without constructing from geometric shapes, which is what I need to be doing right now.

[Futzy]

Fuck anatomy.

This is the first person I've ever seriously attempted drawing before. No refs besides the style thing that I showed before

Was late. This might be better. If I had more time I'd do it by hand and scan it in.

http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/4171/example2.png

You can also start with ellipses for each body segment, then fill in triangles, then work in detail. It's almost like 3D modelling, in that you start basic and whittle it into shape.
