Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I first post this at the toy section 'cause some guys were curious about my avatar. But here is where it should be posted. The illo is from a short animated feature I'm tryng to put together. I hope you guys like it. Quote
EXO Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 ah... there it is! Great design! I asked about your influences bacause I saw a hint of Shirow on the legs especially the the feet. And some Mospeada (also judging by your username) on the arms. The head I think is what most people wonder about. Is it purposely suppose to resemble a woolly mammoth? That's how I expected the rest of it to look like. Anyway great illo, especially the likeness to River Phoenix (circa Mosquito Coast I presume) let us know if there are more to gander at. A nice additon to this section! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks for the comment. The head was inspired on a gorilla to give the whole design a heavier, agressive look, but I guess it does looks more like an elephant. Anyway this is an old illustration, recently I've been revising the whole design, but I only have rough sketches of that, nothing worht of this section Quote
Mervin Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I thought the head resembled more like a gorilla Great design dude! Quote
tom64ss Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 Great work LSB. I saw it over in the VB-6 thread and had to come here and tell you that. Great design and beautifully drawn. You have nothing to be shy about. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 31, 2004 Author Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks, guys. That's encouraging. I see what else I have to post here. Quote
the white drew carey Posted March 31, 2004 Posted March 31, 2004 I like it alot. Great work. Personally, I'm not to fond of the gorilla head. I think it throws the one bit of cheesiness into a great design. May I ask your medium? Quote

I think it throws the one bit of cheesiness into a great design.May I ask your medium? Yeah, I guess you're right. As for the medium, I used Photoshop 7 over a pencil drawing. The 7 comes a wonderful set of brushes, so you can do almost anything with it. Quote
cobywan Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I think it look great! If you wan't to take away the "sheese factor" that may, or may not, be there I would suggest a slight chissling of the cheeks. That would make the face a tiny bit more aggressive looking without changing the great deisgn you already have going. Quote
Mr March Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Cripes! This is fantastic! I love the design and I really like the style of your artwork. Your color scheme is very resfreshing and I like the overall picture design. Wow, wow, wow! Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 Thank you guys. I'm taking notes of you comments so keep posting. Hopefully we all get to see this baby take off on the screen some day. Oh! Here's the baddies by the way Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 Oops! Sorry. It was corrupted. I'll post another one. Hold on a sec. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) One more try... Edited April 1, 2004 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) Oh, I give up! I'll post another stuff later Edited April 1, 2004 by Lonely Soldier Boy Quote
gnollman Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Nice! That stuff looks great. Wish I could draw.... Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 yo LSB love the skillz dude, I'm an illustrator as well and aspiring comicbook creator as well. Cool! Let's share some stuff! I'm a comic artist myself. This is an older version of the same mecha. I hope it can be seeing. This is getting so embarassing. Quote
Limbo Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 awesome dude, what kind of brush are you using? Can you give a brief description of your steps? I've colored drawings with photoshop before but I never got even close to that level of quality... how about a little tutorial or "making of" for the fans? Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 I can't see crap... just a bunch of xs Me too! Hey, EXO, how come YOU can see MY pics and I can't ?! De Niro and Ron Pearlman are there already. The rest are my designs with some features taken from here and there. The guy at the centre for instance, draws some inspiration from Michael Ironside. The art techniques are different in each case. As I said the first illo was made with Photoshop 7 Brushes and a pencil drawing on a separate layer. The Bad Guys piece is also Phoshop, but it was made from an inked drawing using the same technique that colorists use on comic books (selections and stuff). The third is a very old one, so it's hand painted with acrilics on canvas. If somebody want's to know more about how a specific piece was made I can give a more detailed explanation, no problem Quote

What you call an embarasment, I'd be proud to be able to draw, your are a art god among us mortals Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted April 1, 2004 Author Posted April 1, 2004 What you call an embarasment, I'd be proud to be able to draw, your are a art god among us mortals Aw, You're just saying that... Quote
EXO Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I don't get it... you guys move fanart from here to the fanart section and when it's posted in the fanart section you move it here. Regardless if it's Macross. What's the correct way to post stuff? Quote

Tico0001 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) Really awesome!! I actually really like the gorilla head a lot. I saw it was a gorilla right away though i see that it could be seen as a mammoth. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to see the newer design! ~Tico Edited April 1, 2004 by Tico0001 Quote

I'm a comic artist myself. This is an older version of the same mecha. I hope it can be seeing. This is getting so embarassing. That is freakin' cool. Just rename it and go for a theme. You could base a tactical game off of your designs. I think some resin kits of your stuff might actually do well. Quote
Druna Skass Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 Cool, really has that heavy "brawler" look to it. There was one thing though I've always wondered about exposed ammo belts. If that thing gets cut wouldn't you be screwed? Quote
Prowlus Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 nice mecha LSB alot of masume shirow influence in that Head kind reminds me of briareos from appleseed BTW is it just me or does the human in the foreground look alot like Anakin skywalker? Quote
wolfx Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 I love the green one better than the orange one. Awesome stuff. Looks like a crab thus makes it look amphibious.... Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 LSB, those things kick ass man. good work. Quote

Right now it's CMYK and for some reason some computers can't read those. Quote
Blaine23 Posted April 2, 2004 Posted April 2, 2004 Try re-attaching them as RGB jpegs. Right now it's CMYK and for some reason some computers can't read those. Yep, Internet Explorer (PC) will not show CMYK jpgs. Most PC programs won't show them at all, except Photoshop and a few others. It's a Mac vs. PC thing. If you're using photoshop, I recommend the "save for web" feature. Makes compressed, quality images that anyone can see. BTW - very, very professional work, LSB. Great designs, but I'm most knocked out by your style. Great work! Show us more. Quote
