A+ in my book.

[Atmospheria]

Very elegant. I would like to see the full color action pose of these characters. Great job Oppang, keep posting.

[m@.]

Yeah, beautiful characters. Good job ~

[Hanuka]

slick! i second atmospheria's wish for a finished action pose/ full body shot. :)

[Fl3wk]

These are awesome, great inspiration!

[DSillustration]

amazingly good!

[L. Scott Knight]

These are nice indeed. You maintain their look very well through a veriety of emotions and camera angles.

Can we see more?

[GunTrouver]

O_O WOw just amazing! You did a very good job. I like these characters very much. The colors are great. I'd like to see their full figure
More plz!

[Odds]

wow, the ability to draw such a variety of expressions and ethnicities/genders is amazing. keep it up-

[princeofhappiness]

AWESOME! some more pls.

[tgfx]

wow nice.

[One Down]

lovely, the thierd guy looks a little like R kelly :p

[DV8]

great faces! very nice work...thanks for sharing

Mike

[ApolloNuevo]

wow, these sketches are simply fantastic. the colorings leave something to be desired in my opinion. on the black character the highlights are too hot. on the top guy, they are too shallow. the girl's is pretty well done. overall, great designs and emotions though.

[S.C. Watson]

I love the expressions. Great work!

Cheers,

[arghmisfit]

wow nice face character sheets :D

[el coro]

FANTASTIC! a+!-c36

[Bojee]

Wow, really cool!

[metroeast]

I am in agreement... WOW!

[aeontek]

A++++++++++ WOULD SEE AGAIN. Seriously awesome stuff. The last girl reminds me of Itsuki from I''s.

[Eytan]

beautiful stuff man!
reminds me of some final fantasy stuff, and thats never a bad thing!

[dadamafia]

these are very beatiful. i really like how you illustrate the various facial expressions. kinda looks wierd seeing the black guy smiling because he comes off as being very agressive looking... like he'd beat the living shit outta me for looking at him.

[steak-tron]

whoa, great work :) !

[freakedintheface]

Indeed!!!!

[gibsini]

lovin it keep it comin, five stars from me for sure

[Evil_Sloth]

beautiful consistent faces and lovely variety of expressions very pro man, only crit is that the eyes give away the "asian manga influenced look". try playing around with different shapes for the eyes and I think youll get a lot more depth and realism with your characters.
very profesional man. :^^:

[Shinryu]

Real good stuff

[Stormdar]

Ok I'm probably going to be only guy who actually offers up some criticism, although, admittedly it is minor.

Your sketches are very beautiful. You are obviously a skilled draughtsmen. So your technique is not what I would criticize.

Even though the drawings are very good, they seem a little generic or plain to me. I recognize that this is purely a stylistic criticism but none of these characters leap out at me, or make me say "OH wow cool I love the ideas"

You have some very nice drawings of some average to good looking people. But there isn't anything in the concepts themselves that sells me a concept, or even provides clues as to what that concept might be.

Were I the art director for this project, or a producer and shown these, in spite of how good they are technically I would send you back to the table or go with a different concept, because these characters don't project or establish a solid identity. At least not for me, and a solid identity is something that I think is essential in a character concept. These drawings could be of anyone from anywhere.

Just some thoughts,

~S

[Kress]

If a comic was made to the level of finish you're achieving here with the light paint over sketches, I would be a very happy man. Why are all comics "inked" and "rendered"???

[dsm]

these look nice, well done.

[BlueMech]

Great expressions, youn can really feel the emotion!

[Darrell Bowman]

are these finished art or are they sketches,
im not seeing any construction lines hmmm.

[ehsuix]

These are~~ awesome! I like your style! and the character's expression is great!
good job!

[AndyLC]

wow, these are great! I'd repeat all the praise you've gotten from all the responses above me.


The black dude looks like Bob Sapp (Pride FC fighter)

[EDD]

really good stuff

[tiger1313]

awsome stuff oppang. the last girl face and expresions are my best!
keep up the great work!

[Art_Addict]

I like the faces but i agree with Stormdar for the most.
Not all your expressions are as solid as the ones on page 1

[merchan]

Even though the faces are 'generic' to a degree,I am amazed at the crisp lines and expressions and ability to keep a consistency throughout.I find that very difficult and admire you rendering skill.

[rust74]

I really enjoyed these. Please post more.

[Snowsfall]

Awsome faces, I love a ton of the stuff on your website too.
very cool stuff

[Mr.Blonde]

top work, beautiful

[george&guo]

oh.that is great~characters are quite expressive.

[crimsoneye]

Really love how drew your characters and can't wait to see more of your art. But good stuff, I really like it.

[ALIEN1452]

앗 오빵(?)님 여기서 만나뵙는군요 ^^ 그림 올리다가 봤습니다. 멋진 그림으로 건투를~!

[hariz_otaku87]

Maybe its just me but they screams Phantasy Star Online at me. Especially the first drawing.

Or probably Im too obsessed with Phantasy Star Online :p

[thief]

great expresions

[oppang]

I am drawing "the pin" for a leisure hour.
"The pin" is not ways to make money.
This is pleasant my hobby.
I like this work really.
I will draw this without any limit (time.. form..).
i don't know when "the pin" will finish time. >:D

[osgoon]

sweet. i love it

[shadoman]

These are great!! This is the kind of stuff that inspires me to practice expressions myself, which is something I definitely need to do anyways. You have a great capture of emotions.

[robinchyo]

Amazing stuff, sir! Very inspiring since I actually have to do something like this for class *gulp*!

[EscaflowneLY]

looks a lot like some Korean style. I'm recently playing a online game which is called "GunzTheDuel",...looks alike with yours.
Great technique!!
but I am kinda agree with STORMDOR,"These drawings could be of anyone from anywhere. "

[Jason Snair]

Yup these are sweet!!! love the expressions, especially for the first character. That straight-on anger head shot is awesome looking

good stuff oppang.
j.

[MrozekArt]

Very cool concepts, and I like the idea to showcase it that way, with diff. expressions. Great work.

[emperor_boy]

I really enjoy these. There are some minor flaws in facial anatomy (particularly in the last image), but who cares, honestly? These are obviously sketches, and I really enjoy them. I suppose some people might say their faces are generic, and well, they kinda are, the last girl the least generic. But I still really like looking at them.

[Fenris]

Those are really awesome, you have a great range of emotions there. Only thing I can point out is that the first girl looks a bit like one of the female leads in Tench:Fatal Shadows.

http://ps2media.gamespy.com/ps2/image/article/557/557582/tenchu-fatal-shadows-20041015004651153.jpg

...but beyond that, excellent work.

[FIG]

Yeah, I hope I reach that level of draftsmanship one day. Beautiful work

[Azrael]

Killer work! I like how consistant you are in keeping the looks of the character through the different expressions. You show a good understanding of facial anatomy. Great job!

[stalsby]

nice facial expressions!!!

[Grooveholmes]

Thanks for sharing, all of the expressions are very inspiring!

[liquidwerx]

Good stuff. :)

M

[csteingart]

joyful appreciation

[Onir]

Absolutely amazing designs! Every face shows great emotion and they all look gorgeous. Again, amazing stuff :}

[Hyaloclastics]

Ok,that's what i call EYE CANDY :eyecandy:
I'm also working on character expressions at this time so i find these very inspiring!
Keep posting!

[K8bit]

Wow, great expressions! Make sure you post some finished images from your story.

[WhiteBlaizer]

Not much to say, as the others, very nice work.

keep it up!

[klinesmoker]

This is practically a tutorial in my book. It really shows ways to convey emotion. I've been working with this page up all day, and I have no intent of stopping. Thanks for an AMAZING thread :)

[JTumburus]

Hey, men, I really want to see moooore! Great job :D

[midknight523]

you have a great style

[Revenant]

I like the second character the best :) But they are all awesome

[fooltower]

damn good concept artwork!!

I like the black guy, he looks so cool

[3bleadpencil]

...wow...i just made a new folder for you Oppang!!!

[Designer Trey]

Final Fantasy much?

[Interceptor]

Final Fantasy much?

What a waste of a first post.

There's a difference between crits and being an ass.

I was so hyped because I thought this was a NEW thread of Oppang's work.

[Charlie_2.0]

Oh sweet:D, the first dude looks kinda like Dante from Devil May Cry, but they're all sooo cool:)

[Coinpurse]

eyy bro,

you got some talent with facial expressions, definatly adds personality to your characters.

One thing that bothers me however, was the very last character (Of the four) which is supposably a young woman. Alot of the facial sketches appear more like a young boy then a girl though.

Other then that id love to see some more characters :).

~Thest

[Recursive_End]

Cool stuff.



But seriously, what is it with all those old threads?

[TIO_MATT]

:teeth: GREAT STUFF!:yayca: :D

[xvampire]

honestly the guy is cuter than the girl(not meant to be gay), is she meant to be older than that guy (the first one)? - if yes then forget my crits ..,.

nice design btw :)
