Hmmm...what can i say ?

Done with photoshop in 7 hours (finished today at 3 o´clock *zzz*)

Its done for a Challenge in a german Manga and Anime Forum. The Challenge is about drawing one of this Mainstream-Sailermoon-Chibi-fu**ing boring-Charakters -_-

So i want to shock and provokate the audience there ^^
They surely will kill me but at least I defend my ideals and my stile....

Im still a big noob in digital arts but i was able to learn much from this work (for excample that i should never color and render the piece part by part -_-)

well...here is it...

C&C very wellcome ;)

:bashful:

[dem0n]

what's so shocking about it? :[
it's a little too dark, and it takes a couple of looks to recognize what certain things are.
yet it's pretty good, but I wouldn't call it finished.

[corky13]

You wouldnt call it finished but i would because i think im the bigger noob of us two :D:D:D

hmm its shocking for the People involved in the Chalenge because ALL of the other challengers have paint this BigRounEyed Cute Mangastuff....
And they really dont expect something like this ;)

[kmm_loser]

I like it! I was shocked and the factor that it took me a little bit to recognize it added greatly to my shock... The background is my favourite of this peace, i like the lettering and words... very nice

Cool stuff,
Good to see that you avoided the standard "cuteness" that plagues manga style art.
I image itself is great, though I think that (as someone else stated) its a little dark.
But then again I am viewing on a dodgy work monitor??!!

I wouldn't say it's too dark at all. I'm a big fan of Baroque artwork; Caravagio, Valasquez etc. Going for extreme contrast is great... and you're doing it well. The only problem with choosing high contrast work, is recognizing that at least 50% of the composition is set in darkness, which means that the remaining isible area must use that same high contrast to be effective. If you choose high contrast; use it. For example look at the forearms, in such light dark contrast perhaps it would be visible there as well... maybe sink back it's right forearm... give the depth to the figure that you have given to the composition. The same goes for the hand, you've got four digits and a thumb just waiting to have light and dark to play against them... see where the light come over the gun... it casts a harsh shadow on that thumb, and the thumb casts that same shadow onto the muscle leading from the thumb to the wrist. (same thing for the red wire that hides behind her (its) head... light and shadow.

Concept wise I love it... :) this stuff get's me all happy. The other thing that distracts me is the length of the upper arm, and though I understand that it is not a human figure, it is still a human like figure... the end impact relies on perceiving it as human like... so to get that impact you might need to focus on those human aspects of anatomy...

But I'm a total noob with nothing to show, though I'm confident in what I know. Keep it up! I want to see more of this!

I would honestly consider cropping out the blackness on the right because unless you can put something in there to be worth looking at, all it really does is take attention away from the good stuff [the first thing I did when the picture loaded was lean into my monitor to see if it was the angle making me not see anything in there.]

[Main Loop]

yeah, even though its supposed to be high contrast, the massters NEVER put just a big spot of total black like that.. the piece is off-balance cuz of that..

[Gilead]

The real reason that the big black space is bothering everybody is because it's on the right. We tend to view pictures the same way that we read text: from left to right. So we have a subconcious expectation that objects on the left are leading us into the main event on the right.
We'd be perfectly comfortable with the same amount of black space if it were all on the left and the image shifted over to the right. that way we'd travel through the dark space and come to rest on the image. But in this case we look at the image first and then wander off into the dark space behind it where there's nothing to see.

^ah great point

so what? If the challenge is to create a chibi-character drawing then you should be respectful and either submit a drawing that adheres to the specifications, or leave them alone. quit being an e-toughie. Your drawing isn't shocking, it's just going to become obnoxious for those trying hard to compete.

hey one2hit hes just expressing himself in a different way, im sur emany people who post for the challenge will be "hey, why didnt i think of that?" good job corky, sow dissension among their ranks! :devil:
