>picking on some poor lesser known artist
shame on you anon
>>2302813
turns out OP is actually the artist and just wants views
>OP here
>>2302802
i dont much care for it
>>2302845
why
meehh is not that bad, still working and polishing. Remember always study the anatomy, you can improve a lot of things, like the hands.
>>2302839
i like this more
>>2302802
That is clearly dragon plate armor and a rune sword, try and be more original.
Having a black outline on everything but the hair is pretty off putting man (not to mention many of the strokes that make up the hair going "against the grain" and not looking fantastic to begin with). His goatee looks pretty shitty and asymmetrical, the moustache looks goofy because you've used the same stroke direction throughout when the hair should be growing "out" from the planes of the face if you know what I'm saying, and you need to work on your anatomy because the face in general just looks pretty bad, bud. With all that said I think the patterns in the armor are pretty cool; the armor in general is a step above most of the other stuff in the image. Keep working.

I'm really bad at anatomy, never went to school for it :( try to make up for it with my designs. Thx for the advice
>>2302881
I swear I didn't mean for it to look like that haha, but you're right
>>2302889
You think I should do more animals?
>>2302892
Nah man, you should do more people because that's where your weaknesses are at the moment.
>>2302894
yeah true, well I'm planning on more character concept art, maybe I'll improve by the end of it.
>>2302892
C'mon man. You just traced that from shrek.
>>2302904
Yeh I just traced it, and added nothing else to it. How despicable of me.
>>2302904
I noticed that too
You Colty my man tracing is not a crime and there are a lot of exercises artists use that involve tracing to help them understand how things like muscles work better; however you won't get better by tracing all of your finished pieces like this.
your patterns and colors are cool and all but if you're looking to improve you're gonna have to work for it you damn mushroom head.
>>2302802
He looks like the Halloween costume version of what you must have originally envisioned.
>>2302911
Wow sick man you've taken some psychedelics and can doodle over a reference. Do you want a fucking award? Your art is amateur at best. Read the sticky; fuck off.

>>2302802
you should work more on your fundamentals, it looks like you are trying to hide your shaky grasp of the subject behind a bunch of stylistic fluff. You can always add that stuff later, but don't use it as an excuse to slack off
>>2302802
I think youre relying too heavily on the same swirly pattern. The design is actually the weakest element of this image and serves no purpose (the face could use some work as well imo). Not trying to be discouraging though, good try

>>2302802
I have never seen a bigger looking douchebag than this character here.
>>2303988
>dat critique
>>2302802
my biggest problem is the face
you spend so much time coloring and shading all the little nooks and crannies of the armour, but the face is basically just the sketch with some color.
the eyes,nose and mouth look flat. like symbols instead of anatomical features., and the eyes have way too strong of an outline.
given your starting gif in the video where you say coltybah you seem to have a good grasp of drawing lips and noses so i cant imagine how or why youd make such a subpar face in the pic
>>2306231
He traced over a few frames of video, many of the other images like that cat and dog are traced as well.
Why do people come here expecting constructive assistance?
Hey guys
>OP here
Can't believe my thread has lasted so long. Thanks for all the comments and views and criticism, hostile as some of it may be. I know how me "tracing" my references pissed everyone off, but it's just what I do, I enjoy it and I like the way it looks and it works for me, I need a steady real base so my drawings don't go crazy. I implore all of you who don't enjoy my swirling patterns to look closer and get lost in them. That's all, thanks again and I'm making less douchey character concept art as we speak. I'm planning on making a funny animated story with some parts rotoscoped, some parts freehand animation and a lot of abstract weird stuff and backgrounds.
>>2303988
>you've taken some psychedelics
All the psychadelic shit like that has nothing to do with being on them. At most they're fun to look at, it's not actually representative of anything.
If he took psychedlics and tried to draw something odds are high it'd look far, far worse.
>>2307768
>I implore all of you who don't enjoy my swirling patterns to look closer and get lost in them
i implore you to stop focusing so much on swirly patterns and practice basic face anatomy
>>2307768
>I implore all of you who don't enjoy my swirling patterns to look closer
there is nothing there to get lost in. All the thoughtless placement of a landfill with none of the visual diversity or interest.

What you're trying to do can and has been done well for years OP. Please start putting in some effort.
>>2307834
Is this book of kells? Do you have all the files for it?
>>2307843
it is but I've got nothing from it. That was just a google search result for it.
>>2307856
Alright. I know it's all available to see here: http://digitalcollections.tcd.ie/home/index.php?DRIS_ID=MS58_003v
But I want to files as jpgs in a folder on my computer, and at the full resolution.
>>2307768
To get lost in swirly patterns you need good composition.
>>2308062
this much
>>2306231
because that's not the point of the drawing?
It's a speedpainting, meaning to finish a drawing within short amount of time, and that means some details come first some come later.
If the focus is the clothes that putting face with equal amount of effort is a waste of time
>>2308094
but he looks like a faggot and that pretty much ruins the whole piece even though the rest of it doesnt look too bad
