    Okay, I was going to post the pic below first, but then remembered my "promise." Sorry I couldn't really draw for real, but, meh.

    So I started inking this. I made some notable changes, mainly the hair. It's not finished yet (it's got like, seven layers), but I'll work on it. Keep in mind it's still WIP.

    I like the angry face.

    Quality eyebrows.
  • edited April 2006
    Yeah, they were the first things I drew.

    They're like the center piece!

    I agree strongly with Apathy. Heh.

    Something quick to try a new program. Please excuse most of the tech errors though... I'm too lazy to fix the foreshortening/perspective stuff at the moment.

    He looks confused.

    That's like, totally an emotion.

    The design in the bottom left quadrant of his shirt looks like a seahorse.
  • edited April 2006
    I thought of putting a crest there, but opted for a sea-horse esque thing instead.

    hey, i just now realised he has glasses
  • edited April 2006
    If you ever decide to give him a crest, you should totally put a seahorse on it. That would rock.

    MangaStudio? Just curious...if it is, how is it?

    Um, well, I pirated it, so it was well worth the price!

    I got it mainly because I wanted to see how much time I'd save using it's "insta-effects" generator. A lot of the features it offers is "meh, I could use another program for this" and I think I'm too used to Photoshop so the interface kind of annoys me. Still, the exclusive things it provides is enough to warrant a pirating >_>

    EDIT: There's this one feature I like where you can change an entire layer to be a certain color with just a click. It really helped when I was guide-lining because I forget sometimes to draw in a temporary color.

    The hair comes down at the perfect angle to block his vision. He should get some gel or something.
  • edited May 2006
    Or maybe... he doesn't need sight.

    Also:

    I think all my characters are blind, or have some sort of sight-hindering thing.

    Here's the non-gritty version.
  • edited May 2006
    ooooh, I like that hairstyle.
  • edited May 2006
    Yeah, it's fun to draw.
  • edited May 2006
    He looks sad in the non-gritty version.

    I really need some C&C for this one. For the real character design, his eye is shaped differently and his nose is less pointy, but I'm mainly concerned with his hair. I can't learn by watching, apparently, only doing, so does it look okay like that? I was pretty much winging it with the highlight things.
  • edited September 2006
    Beats me. I can't draw hair worth beans. Or a head at all for that matter.
  • edited September 2006
    The light section of the hair looks funny to me. Maybe it's too light?
  • edited September 2006
    Possibly. I changed the contrast of the picture in Photoshop and lost some "value" there. That part is supposed to be shaved, so the hair density is lower.
  • edited September 2006
    To me it looks like he's got gray hair but it'd probably be more apparant were you to color it. Are those highlights in his hair to indicate a different color or from lighting?
  • edited September 2006
    Something like that, yeah. I just don't want it to be a black mass of hair. I want it to have some kind of "texture."

    I did some digital retouching! :)

    And I think I'm done with it now.
