It's cool, you got real life to deal with and stuff.

Nice to see some more art from you.

Your medic is just awesome. Kick ass expression and pose, even from a sketch. c:

I hope to see more from ya

>>10411

I knew I was going to have no life for a year and a half getting into it, but I need my personal drawing time!

>>10412

Thanks, dude.

>>10443

I just found you on deviantart as well, your grasp on color and value is just awesome!

>>10443

Goddamn, you color so purdy.

>>10445

So I see!

>>10446

I seriously just figured out about how to set the opacity to pressure sensitivity like last month. It's awesome.

>>10443

you, my dear friend.are amazing.

>>10443
I agree with Cat. YOUR COLORS ARE PURTY.

I really like the fact you can still see some of the pink lines under the painting. Awesome colors and expression, yours is one of my alltime fave Medics :)
Btw, which program do you use for coloring? if it's photoshop, I would like to know how you set preassure to color opacity, pretty please?

>>10566

Thanks! I like paintings that have some evidence of the process in them, with brush strokes and selective detail, and the underpainting. I could go on and refine forever, but I'd prefer them to be just as detailed as they need to be. And then go back and correct horrible mistakes.

Also, I use Photoshop CS3. If you're using a fairly recent version, it should be here in the brush settings. Hope this helps.

I'm working on something blu, that's like a first for me. I'm swamped with all this srs portfolio stuff for GDC next week, so I'm trying to do some fun 2d stuff and practice with lighting to keep me from going insane.

>>10758

I can't wait to see this finished, you've got such a awesome grasp on perspective.

>>10758

that background looks amazing.

>>10786

Haha, it's good to hear this, since it's actually the laziest fake perspective ever! :>

>>10758
Oh man, this is awesome, please keep posting WIP stuff, it helps us leeeearn. *taking notes*

This sketch is the first thing I've drawn with my new Cintiq tablet. I wanted to see what I could do without spending a lot of time on it. I had to do some color correction, because everything looked yellow when I brought it over to my laptop v:

>>11069
Unff, the colours. (Unff, fire :V Esp. the flames coming out of the backburner!) Pyro's little feet-kicky jump is one of my favourite things, and I like how you've caught it here.

>>11069
This was so awesome, when I clicked on it, my computer froze for a minute and a half, and just as I was going to power it dow, the pic came up, full sized and the monitor shone so bright it lit up the dark room. Not even joking, that's seriously what happened, no lie. My computer literaly had to take extra time to process the awesome-data. AWESOME.

>>11069

I LOVE THIS. I LOVE THIS A LOT. Especially the blurry swipes of color all over.

>>11069

Goddammit why do you have to be so awesome all the time?

>>11069
Incredible piece. Love how the flames kind of frame the image, the colors, the coloring. Shoot, great job.

>>11069
Chemical Alia, everything you do is pure gold.

>>11069
It...it's so beautiful...

>>11069
Pyro's legs seem kinda small and narrow compared to the torso but that might just be the angle of the jump

>>11069

THE TEXTURES AND PERSPECTIVE OH UNF

Reposting some old stuff...

♥ the scot

And here's something new and blu.

UUUNNNNFFFGGGG

>>14148
For a second I thought that was something off Gmod, from the thumbnail. For srs. The shading is that awesome.
Love the colour contrast.

>>14142
Suave Heavy with glasses will never fail to make me lust after him grin like an idiot.
>>14148
Oooh! I really love how casual it is and the composition is awesome.

>>14148
For some reason it's the landscape at the bottom that I love most of anything ever. I think it's reminding me of Steadman? Especially the - the whatsits, the things with the lights on them in the lower right. I almost want to photoshop Spy out of this entirely and use just the backdrop as a wallpaper or something.

i'd love a wallpaper version of that spy piece :]

>>14152

Here's a full size image of the background by itself, no photoshop necessary. Unless you want to crop/resize it, of course. Glad you like it, I wasn't going to do a background because all of my ideas were too busy until I came up with that.

>>14153

And here's the whole picture at the original size, feel free to do with it whatever you'd like.

>>14148
Holycrap this is awesome.

>>14148

Holy crap I love this like you wouldn't believe. Those colours... damnit those COLOURS...

>>14160
that...fuck, this is amazing. I love the way you draw...so lanky...so slim...so stylized...
This is just made of win...

Believe this belongs to you.

>>14160

This is just gorgeous.

Everything you do is beautiful.

You're so amazing *bows* :3

>>14160 The textures! I LOVE THEM , Such great overlays! And I love your expressive lines <3 The desert is defined so simply and effectively.

>>11069 I just freaking love this and I'm not even a Pyro fan. He looks so damn awesome!

He was intended to look younger, but whatevs.

>>15536
that's fuckin' hot.

As for making him look younger, try bringing in his hairline and maybe rounding out a few of his features.

>>15536

Hummina-hummina-hummina. <3

>>15536
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet
DO want.

>>15536

I'm pretty sure that one of my ovaries just exploded.

>>15536
I want to peel his clothes off with my teeth.

>>15536
fffffffff. I came buckets.

>>15541

Thanks. It's just a quick sketch, but if I get a few minutes I'll mess around with it some more.

>>15536
I love how clean and confident this looks.

I made a few slight changes to help him look a little younger. If you can even notice. v:

>>15673

God damn, I love you. This is just awesome.

I've been meaning to sketch more of characters I don't draw often/especially like lately. Cause that's fun, too!

>>15673

Oh Dear Jesus

>>16279
dsflkjflgkjflkgj.
fdgsfg.

>>16279

YOUR TEXTURES ARE VERY PLEASANT TO MY EYES

>>16279
I want... I want to lick that blood off. :|

>>16279

YOUR TEXTURES <3
YOUR LINES <3!
You make it look so easy!

>>16292
I agree with emzy. Unnnnf, those lines. *fans self*

>>16291
You're not the only one!

>>15673
>>16279
these bring tears of joy to my eyes.

>>16279
His hat is really bugging me out but I can't figure out what's bugging me about it. :psy: I think it's the brim.

I really like his hand.

>>16279
you've got red on you, sniper
very nice work C:

Took a break from worrying about my thesis and job hunting to draw something fun today. I thought I'd draw in smoe colors I never seem to use, too.

>>19601
Oh man, her little shoes! Love it.

>>19601
SHe looks just like a doll!

>>19601

I'm getting a total Betty Boop vibe from her, and I think it's because of the tiny hands and large eyes.

>>19601

I'm a little in love with the coat and scarf-thing you gave her.

>>19612

I originally planned for it to be really cartoony, and I was going to use the pen tool for thick outlines and what not. But the pen tool is a pain in the ass so I just painted it, but kept the cartoon figure. If that makes sense!

>>19618

Makes sense to me. I figured that's what you were going for anyway.

I think I liked the last mom you drew more, this one looks a bit too young in my opinion.

You still did a great job at coloring as usual thou.

>>19956

That face is just awesome.

I haven't decided if I want to crop this to something more portrait-y, or finish it with this kind of composition and focus on the face next time.

I dunno what's going on with this whole update business, I've just wanted to draw the Demoman for a while now.

>>19958

(Lol, I delete-reposted for a bigger image)

>>19961

No, I simply just posted ahead of you.

>>19962

Salutations, fellow traveler through time!

>>19964

I knew you'd say that.

>>19961

I hope you're going to enter something like this for the propaganda contest, cause this is a top-notch demoman right here.

>>20013

Haha, this is the third time someone has said "Propaganda Contest" to me today, but I'm afraid I have no idea what it is or who is hosting it.

>>20015
http://www.teamfortress.com/propaganda/submit.php

>>20017

Oh. Wow.

>>20023
Our thoughts exactly. Sorry I didn't get the link to you first.

>>20074

TWIST MY ARM, WHY DON'T YOU.

J/K jk lol, I was going to draw this anyway. I just didn't plan on spending 12 hours in one sitting on it!

I may or may not do a Soldier one, this mostly depends on whether or not the stylus-chafed skin grows back on my thumb between now and Wednesday.

>>20078
oh goodness, this is incredible. The tartan edges are a wonderful touch, too.

>>20078

If you don't place, there is no god. This is amazing.

>>20078
gorgeous :D

>>20078
If you don't get something for this I will be very dissapoint. This is amazing.

>>20078
Beautiful...

>>20078
And we have a winner!

>>20078
Holy shit, this is fantastic. Those sparkles on the stickies are just... unfff
>>20089
THIS.

>>20078
I should twist your arm more often, madam.

Don't do one for soldier. HE DOESNT DESERVE IT.

>>20078
well i guess i'll have to settle for second

>>20078
Don't do one for the soldiers you're too good for them.

>>20098 >>20100

Don't listen to those guys. Clearly they do not know what they are talking about and are dirty Demo sympathizers in need of a tissuebox. [/obviously joking]

I would like to see a Soldier poster from you, even if not for the contest. I don't recall you drawing him recently.

>>20098
>>20100
Don't listen to these maggets!!

I like everything you draw, even if it's Demomen but it would be only fair to draw something for the dear old Solly, too, right??

>>20101

It would be a nice excuse to draw him again!

Okayokay, I can't decide if this is a retarded idea or not. I also can't decide on what style to use, so I'll have to give it some thought.

>>20103
Those guts are not HUGE enough.

>>20103

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS IS A BRILLIANT IDEA.

It also works because Soldier and the Doom guy have about the same level of sanity.

>>20103
as a doom nerd, i am now positively giddy with hope that you'll do more related to this.

Hmmmmmmm....

>>20120
It's brilliant just like that. I don't think it even needs the slogan.

I. Am. Excite.

>>20120

Oh GOD that's fabulous. Please please please finish and submit. I'd have a very hard time choosing between this and Kilomonster's Soldier one, they're both just incredible, and both miles better than my effort...

I even love your Demoman poster despite being utterly on Solly's side in this war (Soldier is my favourite and most played class by MILES).

>>20120

Do you know what you need?

Do you know...

WHAT YOU NEED?!

>>20120

I am excite.
it's a brilliant idea! The best.

Here's my Soldier poster. I'll deliberate for a few more hours over whether or not I should add a slogan.

>>20363

YUSSSSSSSSSSS

Man, I'd love to have a giant print of this on my wall, it's wonderful. I don't think a slogan is necessary unless you've already got an awesome one in mind. The message is crystal clear just from the glorious artwork.

>>20363
Nice! Although the shape and small size of the Demonmen's eyes kind of reminds me of stereotypical depictions of Asians.

>>20371

Squinty eyes are not limited to stereotypical Asians, and that, sir, is racist.

>>20363
This is AWESOME.

>>20363

I would totally put this on my wall. I love it to pieces.

Just a quick sketch between wrapping presents, maybe I'll color it later.

I was looking at the concept art of the game's final style, when it was still a little more serious and I find it really interesting. Especially the transition to the current look, what was changed and kept.

>>21001
i made a little "eep" when i saw this. it looks great as it is.

>>21001
This is amazingly badass. I love it.

>>21001
Where could I find some of these images? I've been trying to find earlier pieces of concept art, but it's been tough for me.

>>21001
Your Medic faces are so great. That nose and chin, oh lord.

>>21001

Awesome, as per usual.

>>21009

I think you can find some here: http://www.giantbomb.com/team-fortress-2/61-18162/concept-art/52-101874/

This thread on FP also has a bit: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=856175&highlight=concept+art

It's sort of all over the place, but it's always cool when it pops up somewhere.

I've been using a really old tablet for a while now, it's so crappy that it actually curves my straight brush strokes. At least now I know why all of my drawings have been pissing me off lately.

Anyway, I'm too lazy for a background tonight.

>>21183

I cannot even begin to tell you how much joy this brings me. I love how the background texture and your brush style makes it look like it was actually painted on a canvas. And his expression... UNF!

>>21183

Concept art Medic. <3

Oh yeah, that was kind of a quick painting, and I spent like 75% of the time on the face. So here's a detail, if you're interested. Not there is much detail to see.

>>21184

I haven't actually painted something on a canvas in like, five years. To think I used to be a fine arts person. Thanks!

>>21183
Oh man, I'm in love. The brushstrokes give great texture and depth.
But most implortantly, the Jaw of Science was well rendered.

I was drawing this thing and then Photoshop crashed like seven times and turned my fun sketch time into a horrible sideshow of bad fortune.

>>21242
I'm sorry to hear that! It looks good though = )

>>21242
Miss Pauling fanart! You get bonus points in my book for this. It looks great!

Oh, for fun. Fan art won't get me a job, I should be 3d modeling scenes right now.

>>21251
>>21259

Thanks, mangs.

>>21242
looks great, i really like the skin coloring on this.
>>21293
coming soon to VH1, filling all the time slots

>>21293
Quite frankly, I'd start watching TV again if this was an actual reality show.

>>21293
Hot damn those are some tiny arms.

>>21298

Your mom was tiny arms. Does this please you now?

GO AUSTRIA!

>>21303

>Austria

LOL

>>21303
What's the script font used here? I could use that font for projects.

>>21310

FF Schulschrift, I think. I'm not at my computer, but I'm pretty sure that's it.

Here's a wip for a 3d scene I started this afternoon. It's an abandoned mine, and it's got a vague TF2 thing going on. I love modeling factories and mines, they're just the best.

>>21459
... dude. You are amazing and I have a new reason to love you.

What program's that?

>>21460
i second this request. what program! I work in 3ds max and maya. mehbeh this is blender? also, you should totally texture this. That would be so fun to see. :]

>>21461
>>21460

3ds Max 2010, I have the educational version. I'm definitely going to texture it, since it's a piece for my portfolio (I need a job). Unwrapping it will be a delight, though, I'm sure. :C

>>21462
I've worked with 3dsmax before. It was a pain to learn but GREAT once I got the hang of it. Sadly that was at a summer camp and I don't own it....


If I could I would hire you. Sadly I am also jobless, hah...

>>21462
hey email me sometime! i can hook you up with some good tutorials and good stuff if you want :] .

Send me your website or some of your stuff too! I LOVE FINDING 3D PEOPLE, you have no idea.

>>21465

Thank you, I appreciate it. My portfolio is her, I'm embarrassed that I don't have my own site yet. http://guildhall.smu.edu/portfolio/ChemicalAlia

Right now the only things I wanting to look into more are facial rigging, hard surface material rendering with mental ray, and procedural texture generation is p cool too.

What do you do as a 3d artist?

A sketch from the art request thread that I finally colored. It's not very polished because my laptop died and I had to dig out on my old computer from 2003, which has a godawful brush lag when using more than one layer and 2 inches of dead pixels across the top of the monitor.

I'd love to touch it up later, though.

>>21910

I love you mang.

>>21910
I love this, I just really feel Medic needs to be slouched more to emphasize the weight on his shoulders.

>>21910

You have no, /no/ idea how amazingly amazing you are.

>>21910

Man, you just went above and beyond the call of duty for that request...

>>21916

Also, this. I have no idea what possessed you to go through so much trouble for me, but I really can't thank you enough. You've truly done an utterly spectacular job.

>>21917

Wow, I'm glad you like it! It's nothing crazy, but I'm happy to have time for fanart again.

>>21910
The colors, Medic's expression, there is nothing I don't love about this.

Oh yeah, I meant to say before. It'd be cool to take a few art requests. So if anyone has any ideas, feel free to suggest them! No guarantees, but I'll draw whatever sounds fun, whenever I have time.

>>21957
I'd like to see how Sniper acts when he first meets Hale and gets that oh-so-manly handshake.

>>21957

Ooh, would you please draw Pyro spending quality bro time with Scout (or anybody else)?

>>21957
Dunno if you take requests from the unnamed anons but here goes anyhow. Sniper getting punched out by a kangaroo. Because I know somewhere there's a pic of him punching a kangaroo and hilarious justice needs to be served one day.

>>21957 I thoroughly enjoy your Medics, and would love some gratuitous German action. Battling.. say.. Scout or a Heavy. Medic has the upper hand and is enjoying it greatly.

>>22032
Seconding this. Or maybe some Pyro/Demo bro-tiem fun.

Or maybe one of the "smart" classes (like Spy) playing chess with one of the "not quite as smart" classes (like Sniper) and losing. Horribly.

>>21957
Maybe drawing an irritated, uninterested hetero Heavy with a faggy, interested homo Medic, would be fun?

Demoman checking all the cabinets in the base for booze (everything is opened, nothing found).

>>21957
Spy sapping the Medipack. Or trying to.

>>22050
>> Seconding this. Or maybe some Pyro/Demo bro-tiem fun.
I want this.

>>22050

Kind of maybe?

>>22426

Heavy's Russian. Of course he's good at chess.

>>22426
"You are not so good as you think!"

>>22427

Oh, come now cat. That's like saying I'm a drunk for being half irish.

>>22583

>>22426
Heheheheh... That'll teach him to judge cunning vs perceived intelligence.

...oh, wait...never mind...

>>22714
Do you ever find yourself doubling in size when you eat a mushroom or chatting with walking talking turtles on the weekend?

>>22715
I shouldn't have laughed.... but I did D=

I almost drew a Scout this time, but then I was like, "nahhhhh."

>>23611
omg this is amazing. I'm so in love with how you draw the characters, and your lineart is fabulous! I think I'm especially jealous of how you draw weapons though because I'm kind of crap with anything mechanical.
>>14148
Hello new desktop.

>>23611

Aw dang, execution style.

... Not sure what to make of Heavy's expression.

>>23614

Lol, I always half-ass weapons, because I hate drawing straight lines. Thank you!

>>23643

There is definitely something to be made of it.
