my first time on oddworld art
 
and it sucks.
by the way it is hand drawn but edited in photoshop CS3.

That fire behind Abe (I think it's a fire??) is excellent! The slig needs a little bit of work, I like the mudokon though! Keep it up looking good

I love to see the increasing amount of hand drawn pictures!

abe619 09-05-2008 04:42 PM

well ,i think it kinda sucks , but i'll keep it comin' for ye';).
and about the fire , i did it with adobe photoshop , some genius made some brushes that are shaped like fire , so i just chose the fire color and did it.

Hmmm....still better than me....I haven't looked at photoshop! And don't rush your work....put lots of detail in!!

I try to help you ok?

use pictures from togg and try to copy the anatomy of abe and the slig (by hand) then try to shade them (in photoshop if you want) to make them more realistic

keep it up though the scene in your picture is very funny :)

You sure have a personal style of drawing, The mudokon is cool, but the slig needs some work :)

Thank u , for all ur comments and tips , ollyabe's tip was extremely useful.

crazysteef 09-06-2008 06:30 PM

If i may make a suggestion, i say try to look at models of sligs, muds, and people in various poses to get anatomy and shading correct. I find it helpful to use a light lead for initial planning, and work in layers. Every famous artist does so, from Michelangelo to Dali.:p

abe619 09-06-2008 07:12 PM

that's also a useful tip.

Well it's obviously very basic but I do love that fire effect you somehow managed to create. That's awsome man. Was that done in Photoshop or before?

Good luck with your works!

abe619 09-07-2008 04:30 AM

yes , it was done in photoshop , and it's version was CS3 Extended.
i don't know exactly which versions the brush pack works for but it worked for me.
by the way i used the copy method and made a picture , with the reaver in the middle , kain's symbol to the left , raziel's symbol to the right.

If you know your way around Photoshop, why not invest a bit of time and learn how to digitally color a picture? There are a lot of good tutorials on the web on this subject and they aren't that hard to master :).

It's a bit blurry. Try to focus it ;)

abe619 09-08-2008 05:59 AM

i don't have scanner so i use my digtal camera and i have to turn off the flash , but because the flash is turned off , it always appears blurry , cause i kinda have those shakey hands:p.

Tidus 09-08-2008 09:28 AM

I was meaning to focus it in Photoshop :D

abe619 09-08-2008 09:43 AM

oh , I will try to , good idea.
it's a good thing it isn't already focused yet cause my hand writing sucks!.

Mark041 09-08-2008 11:19 PM

abe619 09-09-2008 05:56 AM
