Hell yeah Mike. Your tape is gonna rock with the stuff youre cranking out. Keep it up, can't wait to see the markered version.

Damn, that's very mean looking fellow. Like how you varied the line thickness.

Give us more I say.

[amphex]

Awesome character design, and I love the variation in line weights..very interesting =)
What does mcotie mean about your "tape"?

[tarwater]

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

amphex - He's refering to my 3d demo reel required for graduation. Mitch and I are both students at the Art Institute of Dallas and are both due to graduate in December.

Thats NICE it reminds me of Berraka<i think thats how u spell it>from Mortal Kombat. awsome work!!! Midway sould pay u to save there ass HA

[WhiteBlaizer]

this draw is desproportional made... hands are so big, too large. Instead of that aspect, it's a good concept. i would make better proportions...

[bOne]

your inking is excellent !

The design remind me a mix between darth maul and wolverine :)

good luck for your 3D !

That's hilarious tarwater and mcotie...I filled out the application for the art institute down there...but I didn't end up going because I moved out of Texas. Small world...wow. The girl that took care of getting my application was this short dark haired girl...gosh what was her name. I will think for a while and see if I can remember. At any rate that's really cool. This is an awesome sketch. Hey I am gonna be in Texas for a week starting tomorrow is it hot or cold down there now? I don't feel like having to wear a short sleeve shirt...when in Philly I am wearing sweaters all day.

Lee and bOne - Thanks. After I drew it, it did kinda remind me of Baraka. I didn't think of darth maul, though, but now that you mention it, dammit!:D

WhiteBlazier - I always get ragged on about my proportions. I used to draw everything in exact proportion, but that got boring so now I exaggerate to the extreme, especially with arms and hands. I just think that a character with giant hands is more intimidating. Thanks for the crits, though, I respect everyone's opinion.:)

MindCandyMan - It's cold right now, but here in Texas weather turns on a dime. When you get here it might be hot as hell.:firedevil

[HellTaxi]

awesome, really nice use of lines. Does it remind anyone else of Mortal Kombat? I feel like im in 6th grade again, reading the manual :)

[tarwater]

Here's the marker, that I did a few nights ago.

Wow looks awesome Tarwater! I love the markered version. You were right about the weather changing down here. 20 degrees yesterday...like 60 degrees today...so weird.

[amphex]

Wow, you did an amazing job with the markers man!
I love everything about it =D
What markers did you use?

[tarwater]

I used prismacolors. They were sand, eggshell, blonde wood, different cool and warm grays, light blue, sepia, aquamarine, and I think the red was crimson red.
Here's a dude I drew a few days ago and finally got around to postin'.

WOW looks really good rendered.

[Hudnut]

Lookin' Good! I like how you handled your line weights, and I dig the giant hands. I always go back to Rodin. His sculptures have notoriously large hands and it looks wicked cool. The colors on the marker rendering are nicely done.

Great work!
