Moogie's Art

[Moogie]

Thank you again Golby, your critique is always welcome.

It\'s true that I often focus more on the style and effect of a figure than going to all efforts in making proportions correct. Part of the reason this happens is because most of my sketches start off as those crappy scribbles and sometimes I neglect to properly align and measure the bones. As such, I havn\'t had much practice at that anyway, so I\'m not all too good at it.

The mist sounds like a good idea, as do all the burning rubble/building suggestions. I\'ll play around with those.

I agree about the hair, by the way, but I\'m not sure if I\'ll try changing it on this picture. I need to learn and practice some techniques with that first, and I think I\'ll just end up ruining this pic if I tried now.


Thanks all again for commenting, and don\'t forget to stop by here.

Out of curiosity, how many layers does this picture have?  If I were doing it I would probably have hundreds...probably because I would keep screwing up  Can\'t you just try to experiment with the hair on a new layer?  I took a photoshop class and got a bunch of links to tuts and one was about hand painting realistic hair, I\'ll see if I can find it.

edit: I couldn\'t find the tutorial I wanted.  There are tons of others on google though, just do a search for \"photoshop hair.\"

Currently, the PSD has 20 layers. However, a few of these layers have been merged, such as the one called \"bits and bobs\", which contains claws, metal studs, the bracers, bits of the hands, sword hilt... etc.

Just for fun, here\'s what it looks like with the main Seperot layer disabled:

lol its the killer ghost with fancy accesories. A ghost with style is a good ghost

judging by what i read so far, those pictures must be good, its a shame i cant see them though ><...but still...it sounds like you did a good job

wooo mogie is at it again  Great work mogie, cant say different then great!

For al the layers you might want to try and use folders, that cleans it all up big time. I use them always now, when I hit the 5layer for the first time I just HAD to use them

nice work!

This looks really cool!

However, what is the yellow thing?



To me it looks like a cable, with 7 wires sticking out at the end...

That\'s attatched to the hilt of the Katana. Sep says that his character grabs this sometimes in mid-combat and uses it to swing his sword around at high speeds and cut people down from all sides.

Edit: Wait a second... I didn\'t post my latest version? Pssh. Well actually you can pretty much see what changes I made in that last pic I posted. It has the burning rubble in the foreground/background which almost makes it look like a pathway, and there\'s mist on the ground.

Wait a sec, lemme see where the pic is...

I like the new mist, and I agree that a ghost with style is a good ghost.

I still think the contrast between back and foreground is too great, that may just be me though.

Above all, great work Moogie, it\'s coming along very nicely.

Christmas has finally come, and with it, my art tablet!! I\'m so happy!

It\'s kinda hard to draw with it atm, as I have to press pretty darn hard to get a dark line, and I have no idea how to change sensitivity options. Anyways..



Hardly fanart, I know, but that\'s my first ever tablet drawing, so it feels kinda special to me.


Edit: I felt bad giving such a bad picture as my first... so here\'s my second, to say sorry.

[DarkArchon]
