I donno, guy. The bug car came out pretty good to me, and better than I could do (I *hate* trying to draw cars). Plus, it made me laugh :D

Liked onvisions too.

Cheers,

[xbiten]

Marvin5: that's going to look so great when you finish it. very cool design on the bug. Keep going.

[Barti89]

Did a quicky.. getting used to my wacom .. one of early wacom pic's just got it yesterday :)
http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v32/barti89/dsg/dsg_414.jpg

[Cold]

new wacom ey? got mine a week ago... I must say, you will find it alot easier. I can't give you any tipps because I'm pretty much clueless myself with the whole wacom thingy.

[shadoman]

Barti89 and Cold - I got mine last week too... but I have been using one at work for some time now. They are the best. Go into your "Wacom Tablet" control panel and you can set all kinds of goodies in there. Good luck and practice, practice, practice and you will find it second nature soon.

[redships]

busy day today, this one is rough.

i was going in to thinking how insects sometimes distort themselves to ward off predators.

i.e. the little insect on the right is the guy in the suit. to scale.

[DraigAthar]

Well, my bug-man isn't in a space outfit ... but he is in a vacuum!

;)

[Railboy]

Okay... I started working on the background, and I got really hung up on the planet (I'm trying a new technique). Then I ran out of time. So no bug-man. :rolleyes: We'll just pretend it's on the planet somewhere, in a spacesuit.

@ =^_^= - Very solid, nice lighting. I'd put some light next on the wings next to the fire that's being emitted.
@Villiage Idiot - You're on a roll...

[DV8]

had some fun with this (and had more time too!)

[sixBlade]

the planet looks cool how did you get that texture?

[Charcoal]

I don't really have time right now, but the work today from everyone is awsome.

nBT - year space beetle cracks me up. it shows you had some fun with that one

[shadoman]

I didn't have too much time today. About 45 minutes in Painter.
http://www.shawnadomanis.com/dsg/dsg414.jpg

I am very tired, so no crits today, but a lot of good work and welcome OlovPopov, nice work. And yes, Villiage Idiot, she got mad and went to bed, so that means I most likely will bail on tomorrow's...

[village idiot]

never mind shadoman,cool concept so worth the stress(or probably not, depending on wife cooling off period). i do hope you will have a sicknote for tomorrows/today's dsg!
dv8-excellent character
draigathar-fonnee
railboy- love that texture, is it skin?
redships-another winner from you
marvin 5-cool concept
olovpopov-nice, you remembered the spiracles
=^-^= - just lovely
wednesday- lovely style you have got
cold- that's just brill
xbiten- i use acyrilic wet detail brush most of the time because it's the most instantly photoshoppy. usually takes me an hour and a half
i love bugs me!

Village Idiot - I really like that design. The tinges of pink look sweet too.

Cold - His left leg doesn't sit with me, but the design and colours are top notch. Love the crab-like pincer hand, the arm joints to the shoulder & the helmet.

Wednesday - How do you get all your stuff looking so sinister... Haha. I always enjoy your work.

redships - great design work on the big guys legs.

DraigAthar - LOL. Excellent.

[xbiten]

village idiot: ok, I just wanted to know because your style is just so cool. Maybe I'll test that brush out on todays dsg :D

[=^_^=]

thnaks =)..

Railboy: u are absolutly right, the last thing I did was that fire. So the light is.. not there hehe =P =)

[Chermilla]

Its still not finished, but here's my "bugman" :D
