Widescreen Fallen Empires desktop - 1900x1200
« on: 04.08.08 | 02:01 PM »
I've been trying to practice with my wacom tablet, and I still suck at it, but I think this stuff didn't turn out TOO bad.  If you like it, cool, if not, die in a fire and all that jazz.

The practice image I was doing on the tablet is here, b&w, if interested:

very nice. the cloak is a little odd, but the rest of it is sweet. i like the style--kinda like a futuristic knight (diamond sword?)  Wink

Yeah, the cloak isn't really appropriate, but I was going to title it "fallen emperor" or some crap, so it was supposed to be like a royalty type figure.  Definitely future knight style Grin

Woah, brother, I like your style! That's pretty clean, I have to say. I wish this were in the art section *sadface* You could totally come hang out in there with us, it would be alright, I promise  Grin

Seriously though, I like this, could you give us some more details about it? What was the worktime? What made you decide to go with the cape (risky venture, but I definitely like it)?

When did you get your Tablet? Congrats, I've had mine for quite a few years now, and it's my best friend  Cheesy

Art section? What art section?  Shocked  I got the tablet last fall, it's just an a6 sized wacom, so it's smaller than I'd like.  But... I wanted to practice with this one so that if I actually start using it on a regular basis, I'll have a reason to shell out some cash for a larger size tablet

when I was drawing this the guy looked kinda scrawny, the cape made him look a little thicker.  My roommate has an action figure with a cape, and with the edges curled in it looked like it would look good on the drawing, so I used it as a reference.

There's actually an art forum on IA that I didn't know about before Cheesy  I am working on a female armor version, similar vein but probably more pop, less flat, and more detail

more artists should join in on the art boards Cheesy

Nice job, it's a toss up now between my GTAIV wallpaper and yours.  Maybe one per screen?
