... Gemma? Fancy stumbling across your Tumble page AND seeing you post here in the same 24 hours...

You certainly wouldn't remember me - I don't think I personally ever said much to you before, just enjoyed your art - but I remember you from way back on dA. Like waaaaay back, when you were drawing mostly HP stuff.

So, hi there. Have you been in this fandom very long? (I'm relatively new myself, so no worries either way.)

Oh, lol, I just reread your OP here where you said you got into this like two weeks ago. Headdesk. Ah'm a dumbass, sorry.
>> No. 5177
Only thing I'd have to critze is the lack of jaw, especially on Heavy. Stylization is dandy and all, but the TF2 characters all have very prominent jawlines, epecially Heavy, Soldier and Engineer. So when you draw Heavy, keep in mind that he DOES have one massive manry chin!

Generally, this is some really neat stuff. I do hope to see more!

Gonna second the anon here, all the classes besides Scout (who is a prepubescent babby anyway) have some impressive jaws going on. Also, even though Medic's lower jaw isn't as pronounced as Heavy's or Engineer's, it's still a long and solid looking jaw. This also applies to Sniper, and Spy to an extent. Here's a reference on the left which I've found very helpful, because drawing the classes faces the first time around can be a pain in the arse.

That being said! Your colour in the first picture is lovely, and you have a nice style, very fluid and cute. Looking forward to seeing more work from you!

I was super excited to see these on the Y. I love your style and the Medic and the Heavy are an otp of mine. I'd like to see you tackle them in a more TF2-true sense, too- plenty of room for both. In other news, your archimedes is adorable.

So from your first posts, I'm not sure if you have a handle on decent grammar and you don't specify that you're not a native English speaker (which then it wouldn't be a problem). Disregard for grammar is one of those things we mods use to figure out who here is under 18, which isn't allowed on this site. I'm not going to ask your age, but it comes on the condition you adhere to the rules and behave maturely.

> guhuhu

I would call this another warning flag that borders on excessive fangirling, which is another thing we use to determine if someone is underage.

There's also a bit of emote usage. Smilies are okay in moderation, but along with the poor grammar, it's suspect.

We love to have new artists on the chan, but we try to conduct ourselves differently than Sparkledog Central and Hipstr. Understand?

I dig the over all style, but you should think about incorporating stronger and longer jaws and chins into your work. You'll have more face variations to work with, and I find character's like Sniper never look quite right with a short face. Also I think your heavy's a bit too baby faced, he needs a thicker neck, at least.

Just my thoughts, keep on keeping on!

>>5232

The anatomical mistakes that really stood out to me with this were ones that could have been quickly fixed- foremost, the fold in Sniper's arm. The curve on the underside of his bicep would be on the inside of his arm, facing away from the screen, while the muscles of his forearm should be defining the outline of his folded arm from this direction. I've attached a redline to better illustrate what I'm saying. The other thing that bugged me to a lesser extent was the position of his thumb, which appears to be folded against Medic's shoulder, rather than gripping it.

If you find things bugging you about a picture you're working on, (and I know I often do) you can always take a look at anatomical references or post it in /workshop/ to get a second opinion.
>> No. 5235
>>5210
Dude, I totally know how you feel. But I gotta say, I don't like this picture much. The problem isn't really anything in the drawing itself as much as it is... the mood. The mood is waaay off.

For some reason, when I look at this picture, I almost feel giddy and silly, and then I'm all, "Oh, wait... This is a sad picture. Medic is dying." But it makes me think of the carnival.

I don't know shit! We gotta keep movin'. anything about art, really, but I'm certain the problem is the color scheme. It's way too bright and colorful and saturated and fucking FUN for a subject so serious. Seriously - it makes me crave cotton candy and balloons and shit. Try duller, muddier, GRITTIER colors. It'd probably help.

Another problem is probably Medic's facial expression. He don't look particularly... concerned that he's dying. Which, I mean, he probably shouldn't - especially since respawn is (probably) on, but the aim of the picture is to make us feel BAD for him.

But when he's just kind of looking at his bloodied chest like, "Well, damn. THAT happened. :/" it kind of takes away from the feel you're trying to establish. Try "OH MY GOD I'M DYING IT HURTS SO MUCH" despair or "And to think... I never got to tell Heavy that... That I..." sorrow, THAT'D really reel us in. His "... Damn, this sucks. Meh," face isn't doing anything for me, is all.

I HOPE THIS HELPED. Can't help you with anatomy and stuff but on the basis of >>5232, I have to say that I think the hand and the way it's grasping Medic's shoulder is fine. (That's just me.) Yang is definitely right about the arm, but I like the thumb placement, actually.

I'm not sure how I feel about the picture itself, though. Maybe it's just because I've seen WAY too many "KAWII DESUUUUU" Medics in my day, but that "uguuuu~" face he's giving Sniper really irks me. The scar on Sniper's back is a nice touch, though. Dat wily Spah.

Rest assured, I'll be keeping my eye on you. Continue doing what you do best.

I really love the profile drawings of medic and sniper in the opening post and your latest post, Fluro. they have a really strong style and interesting proportions.

your anatomy, as stated before, could use a few refs. it also seems that your bodies are sometimes too small for the heads, or heads too large for the body, despite the stylisation. I think your opening post is the strongest in terms of proportions, but even this one looks as though it'd benefit from more mass in the shoulders/upper body to even out the large hands/head.

even if you don't prefer the larger jaws, and I don't think you have to go super on-model to be able to achieve a look that fits the characters, and I really feel as though Heavy in particular suffers from lack of jaw and mass in the neck. to me, the round shapes you're using in his cheeks and some jaws end up making him look like and overgrown child. the strongest face for him I think happens in the fourth panel in the blue lined comic. this is because of the wider angle you applied to the jaw (flaring outwards from the ears instead of down or under like in some of the other panels) and the corners in his jawline and eye sockets really help to achieve that chiseled "manly" look without having to go too far into the realm of on-model drawing. you also have more space between the eyes and more width to his neck. the weakest part of the comic, to me, is how much mass is lost on the back of his head when drawn from the side. according to the posted model ref, there's actually more mass moving back on his head than to the sides.

with the medic, you might want to see what would happen if you actually made his face a little wider and the eyes further apart. like I mentioned before, the profile looks fantastic imo so I think you have a nice set of vertical proportions that work on the medic and on the sniper. I'll see if I can illustrate what I'm trying to say by drawing your sniper from what I think a 3/4 would look like with wider set eyes and a bit of a more angular profile than the heavy.

I like where this style is going, please continue posting!

Looking more chin-ly! I love how expressive and cartoony your style is. As a minor crit, and I understand this is a matter of style, I notice you using the same shape for your characters' noses- one of the things that adds to their unique appearance is their individually-shaped noses. The hooked shape you're using is perfect for Heavy and Spy, but Sniper's nose has a very straight bridge and is a little upturned, and Medic's nose has a rounded bulb and prominent nostrils. This is more a matter of taste, but you might consider playing with different shapes while you sketch. Just a thought.

these look nice! I was trying to see what exactly you changed to make these look better, especially the one in the lower left, because I thought that one was starting to look a little more on-character. so I overlayed it in Photoshop with the last post, and actually found that the proportions are exactly the same. I know this wasn't intentional lol but I thought I'd go ahead and redline over it and see what I could come up with that way.

I also got a little curious and looked through your dA gallery. your characters are really strong, especially your original ones. what I'm seeing here, though, is that you're not bringing enough of the features of the established TF2 characters into these particular pieces, so they end up looking more like your other characters instead of TF2. if these are some of your first drawings of them then that makes complete sense and I know it took every artist here a long time to find that balance with such exaggerated, manly features.

anyway, some of the major things I did (while reffing that same character sheet anon posted earlier in the thread) was move the eyes a little further apart and up, brought the mouth up and the chin down, and add a little more height to the back of the head (for the hair lump), which allowed me to give him a bit more of a receding hairline. bringing the features a little higher up on the face like this gives him an older appearance. I think that's the main thing I'm seeing here really, because doing that also makes the chin appear larger without having to change the shape of the face too much. I also did a few other things but those are probably more like style preferences haha

I hope this helps! sorry my redline looks like shit lol

oh man i really like where these two are going, especially the heavy. both of them look a lot older and on-character.

sorry I keep critting so hard, and sorry if my redlines appear as though I was trying to change your style or something. that's not the case. I just suck at mimicking your style so I hope you weren't offended or something haha.

you seem to be doing well with the faces so my biggest crit right now would be with the hands. it doesn't bother me so much that they're 4 fingers, but they do have the tendency to be parallel to each other. changing the angles of them to radiate outwards from the palm will really help to give more life to their poses. the first set of joints in medic's scalpel hand in the pencil drawing are significantly too short, and I would like to see his pinky finger curling inwards a little. the other hands all seem to have the same parallel thing happening, too. I know it's just a sketch, so take this and my other crits with a grain of salt.

I really dig your work and I hope I'm helping haha
>> No. 5318
>>5317
I agree with this.

And I would suggest that you should drop cartoony style for a second and go draw real-life studies to grasp the feeling about proportions.

Not saying that you should drop your style completely, just try drawing ''something that you see, not how you think it should look like.'' (Oh my God, who would say that Tom Preston was right for once!)
>> No. 5322
>>5318
I take a sort of, "do as he says, not as he does" sort of attitude towards Preston. It doesn't show very well, but I'm trying to do that (not the artist in the thread).

Fluro, I think you have a rather cute style, one that suits the vibrant colors you use, but as someone who's also stuck in a sort of permanmant stylization of every picture I draw, I do think it'd benifit you as it's (sort of) benifitting me. I'm by no means a pro, (and I can readilly give examples of my mediocre work that shows it), but I think, with your existing abilities, taking a step back and just drawing/scratching/doodling what you see in life would do nothing but greatly benifit your style. Best of luck to you in continuing and improving!
I'm sorry I have no concrit for any of your current pieces, by the way. I thought doing sofor most of them would be just too late or beating a dead horse.
Have a good day!

I wasn't offended and I wasn't ignoring them either, sorry if it seemed that way. I've seen a few Hipstr posts this morning about people conversing about what I've been posting. I'm really just trying to have a bit of fun, that's the whole point of fanart. I really am trying to improve, everything I've learned I've learned on my own, I haven't gone to art school, cos there aren't any good ones where I live haha.
someone mentioned giving me a redline on DA of all places a few months ago, and I gotta say, I don't remember, so please don't be insulted.

As for four fingers, I could easily draw five, there isn't really anything stopping me, But alot of the things I'm not changing that you're pointing out are style preferences. I highly doubt any time in the future I'm going to approach valve and ask them to let me do concept art for them, haha!
sorry if I sounded whiney here, I just wanted to try and explain myself.

I have done some life drawing before, and it WAS fun, I need to find a local group for it, sadly, where I live, there aren't any that I have found so far.

I just noticed the four fingers thing. I'm liking the artwork.

It would be interesting to see you do 'darker' pictures. You do well with a light colour palate so I'm curious how you would do with different tones

hey yeah no problem. everyone has different goals with fanart, and it's definitely not bad to do it just for fun. likewise, I don't expect for you to take every little detail to heart, nor am I upset with whatever you produce. I critique because I like your work. it's sort of my way of making a compliment i guess haha

the last few crits were not meant to crit your style, but I guess I got a little too wordy and tried to support it with drawings that were mostly my own style. I'll try to be more concise about it from now on.

that said, I do notice improvement already in your work, and it makes me happy to see how often you produce new work. keep it up! glad you're part of the fandom~

You don't need local groups to do that. Just draw things around your house. Go outside with a sketchbook and draw people, things, streets, animals, etc. For human referencing, you can use this http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php , I know it helped me a lot.

And it was me who gave you a redline over on dA some time ago, but don't worry, I don't feel insulted, considering the amount of comments you receive there, you probably haven't even seen it. It's just that I noticed that you still have the same problem which is pointed out in this post >>5234

The thing is, I noticed that you focus more on your style than you do on the whole concept of your work. Having a defined style isn't bad, actually, it's a great thing, but sometimes, you have to step away from it for a moment.

I would love to see you do for example, Medic, but in a realistic way. Like I've said, you'll not abandons your style, you will just do...something different for a change?

Oh my god, it is really hurting me how everyone's giving this person such a flood of shit. Even concrit hurts if given incessantly, without enough of the positive. Fuck. These are some of my favourite pictures on the board.

Do not be discouraged, noobface. I am lapping this up.

While Fluro does make a few anatomy mistakes, they colour beautifully, draw very expressive faces, and I kind of like the four-fingered hands. That good? All true by the way. I am very jealous of their colouring.

You got butthurt because of someone's opinion that wasn't even directed to you, on internet, and then we're the ones with a problem?

Most of the people here are actually really nice and willing to help her.

Just going to echo something I've said before since some people still don't get it.

Concrit is not a bad thing, even in excess (though if they all start to say the same thing after a while, then that's when you should stop because it starts being ineffective.) If people are offering criticism, usually they do so because they want to see the artist grow. People taking the time out of their day to offer advice or insight should mean that those people see great things in someone's art and want them to be even greater than they already are.

If you can't handle that, and this is directed at the VIEWERS too, then you need to not be here, sorry to say. TF2chan has never been a hugbox.

D'Aww, Fluro didn't come back.
If anyone wants, she's got her Hipstr full of tf2 fanart and her sparkledog.

I really love the textured look that's coming off in the approach you made with the colors. Thanks for keeping us updated with your lovely works.
>> No. 5490

I love this. I realy like the cartoony style! I must ask are you using sai or PS? The textures are nice, The only thing I find a little off is the texture of the breath, It has a clear square of where the pattern repeats and it takes away from the smooth look you have. I'd either use the pattern but make it larger or find another pattern for that one. Either way awesome job! Don't stop drawing comerade!

If I can't say "welcome back", then I'll say it's good to see an awesome new picture! It looks like poor medic needs a hat too...
I know people have been asking, but I've been wondering what program/tools you used for this? I love the way it looks (like, pencil strokes and paint). Is it traditional? Anyway, good work. If I may, though, Heavy's face does seem to be too round overall. I'm not sure if that's a stylization thing or not, and it doesn't really take away from the picture, just an observation.

AW, TITS.

I was so going to do this (exact same characters and everything!), only with Sanviches instead of Medic! Like, change the entire script and everything!

BALLS WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO SLOW AAUGH.

The comic itself is pretty funny, though. I'd say to spend some more time on Soldier, if I had to critique it. His head looks kinda... off, somehow.

First I thought "meh, should have been sandvich", but then:

>with or without nuts
>WITH OR WITHOUT NUTS
>The Medic's face
>cue attached gif

THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD. AWESOME.

Only one point of critique: Pay more attention to how Soldier looks. You didn't really include his main facial features (e.g. shape of the head and GIANT manry chin). Look more at that and it's neat!

I'm gonna steal that second-panel Medic and keep him for myself. It's derpdorable: the perfect combination of adorable and derp.

I love the way you draw Scout faces. Actually, I've always really liked your art. It's so expressive.

And anyone who makes Spongebob references out of context is okay with me.
