devart caught you, so no hotlinking from them. I copy-paste'ed to get the image

Some crits: Watch your line weight, some parts get lost in the others. Also its hard to see a primary lightsource.

I do like the armor around the neck.

line weight was something that was definitely on my mind while inking. What is the rule on line weight? exactly?:confused:

Ive always wondered,
what exactly is the difference between a Unreal tournament style and a quake style? they seem the same to me.
and does any one know anything about proper line weight? Cause Id really like to learn.

[c0g]

Quake and Unreal do have simular styles... Quake is a little dirtier, a little darker, etc. Also, to date, the latest release of quake has a much lower polycount and it's graphics aren't as good as the latest release of Unreal Tournament. That should all change with the release of the new quake. Anyway I think He was just saying it would be a cool model to see jumping around the arena.
As far as line weight goes my take on it is that if the area is in shadow the line is thicker and if the area is in light the line is thinner. i could be wrong, but that is how I vary my line weight. I'm more a 3D guy so maybe someone will jump in and correct me if need be?
