DSG 303: Character: Comic/Cartoon Styled Sports player

[dsg bot]

Today's topic is: Character: Comic/Cartoon Styled Sports player


ANY SPORT

[Thanoz]

http://www.astralmatrix.net/patrickdoran/golfer2.jpg I feel that golf is pretty close to becoming an olympic sport. It's easier to score than figure skating, and more athletic than football, after all, you never see 300 lbs pro golfers. They usually max out at like 250lbs, then they have heart attacks and die off.

[ChickenNinja]

Golf will never be an olympic sport as long as Tiger Woods is still playing, it would be pointless. The USA has all the good golfers.

Somehow at first I wasn't really having much fun with this one, but I decided to mess around and came up with this.

This is my second piece with my wacom and second DSG. It's also my first wacom piece in which I used layers. Done with Adobe Photoshop Elements and 4x6 Graphire.

In a perfect world, we would have Mekball. Yes I know it's spelled mech, but misspelling things is cool!!;)

Sorry for the l337 speak, but I thought it fit very well.

[phantom_head]

Thanoz, that's too funny.

Plaf, I dig the capoeira dude. Nice action.

dfacto, I like your's a lot too. I miss fencing!

[Wundergeek]

I'm at home for the weekend, away from my tablet or scanner... But there's been some good stuff so I thought I'd comment.

Thanoz: My grandpa would buy one of those if they made them. :D

brawstake: love that style! He looks very much the weathered veteran

plaf: I love your cartoons, so different from your usual style but good as always.

idiot_apathy: nice, I really like the pose.

dfacto (the fencer): SO funny. The pose is really what makes that picture.

wednesday: you make sketchy look so good!

cartoonfox: your picture brought back many memories of playing dodgeball in gym. :)

valcon jet: pirate basketball! I hate basketball, but I would pay to see pirate basketball!

dfacto (the football player): Yes, it does fit. Too bad I can't understand it. ^_^

phantom_head: I can almost smell the hair spray. :D

jacksparrow: good sense of movement

tumbra: what a strange team picture that would make!

oregano: great poses! I love the sense of movement. very colorful.

Good stuff everyone.

[S.C. Watson]

Hey Wondergeek, thanks for the comments.

btw, don't rely on the wacom. Only the color on mine was done on the computer. The drawing itself was done with a pencil, then inked over with a uniball and Micron .005 pen.

Of course, if all else fails, there's the ball point pen and a napkin! I don't know how many times I've done that!

Cheers,
Oregano.

[jook]

Well, here is a real quickie....

Thanoz: mow that is funny. I love the idea behind it!

brawkstake: Excellent use of line weight and shading.. looking good.

plaf: your stuff is always a pleasure to look at. I especially like the baseball dude, looks funny.

dfacto: Internet talk is funny...

Oregano: I love the movement and bright colors.. nice.

CHEERS! :chug:

[The Supreme Um]

Tripod is evil. When it is up, I'll post my sketch. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

:rambo: TRIPOD

Eagles just kicked some ass.

Thanoz: That's classic. You should smack that on a t-shirt, it would sell man. The coloring is great too.

brawkstake: Nice first post. technique is intersting, i like how the eye fades off into the hatching. Welcome.

Plaf: the last guy is really good, strong sense of motion, especially with that awkward posistion.

dfacto: ahahahhahha. drooping sword. ahahha.

MC: Beautiful technique. Awesome work with the colors too. I can never seem to add that bluish hint to shadows without ruining the pic.

[Wystro]

Finally! I call this "I Hate Football"

Welcome aboard, Brawkstake! Very nice handling of the pencil.

[inkwerkz]

Working on coloring it, maybe it'll be done later.

[plaf]

those who commented on my stuff : thanks!

rho : cool, i like your energetic lines.
oregano: love the characters. i'm not too crazy about the background though =)
phantomhead: sad background? dunno, i find it quite enjoyable.

right. going to go eat now =)



all the best.

[dfacto]

Can't anyone understand the l337 speak (read leet (= elite))?:( Well, here's the translation:

You ho!! Rocket jumps aren't allowed until the 2nd half!!!!!

simply replace o with 0, e with 3, l with 1, and t with 7. misspell a few things and there ya go.

[DavidCousens]

Wednesday: Love the colour scheme you've got there! :)

I was having a hard time thinking of a sport when I drew this, and then I saw the diversity in this thread. Guess I should think a little more, lol
