Sechs from Battle Angel Alita.

I tried experimenting with foreshortening, and I think I succeeded everywhere but the foreleg. Let me know what you think before I finish this baby.

Thanks!

EDIT: grammar

Im not into any "Battle Angel Alita" .. dont even know what it is .. but my c+c :

The leg does seem very long .. but if he is really stretched quite far back .. prob okay .. it needs a background IMO & I would include both feet.

Are these round circles on his stomach muscles-suggestion or ?

Just my C+C .. hope ur not offended.

[2sassy4monique]

Sorry, the paper is pretty big so my scanner cut off a lot of it, including the feet. I will of course scan both halves and merge them for the final art so you can see all the stuff going on around him.
I probably should have done the background first, but I can be lazy about that sort of thing. This will definitely have a bg though when finished. Probably lots of bodies floating around or something fun like that :P.
The circles on his stomach are grates for his exhaust fans (or something like that, it's part of his outfit).

Exaust fans .. I just have my behindf to use 4 that .. ha ... looking forward to the finished piece .. lots of blood ?

Sorry but these kind of digital animation art things tend to have little gore .. no blood .. include the death & blood .. theme .. could be really cool .

I am a completly descent normal person BTW :D

it's not foreshadowing...it's foreSHORTENING. foreshadowing is an event in a plot that clues in the audience to an upcoming event. foreshortening is the visual cue of overlapping shapes to suggest depth.

this looks pretty good except for the gun/arm. i don't know the series so you be the judge. but if his hand is in that gun...then it's too short, his fist should be visible...if he doesn't have an arm...then fine, but even then it's seems odd to have a functional appendage be that much shorter than what is there naturally. also, the elipses are off...they are not in synce w/ the perspective of the rest of the weapon.

personally i would get that arm/hand out of his crotch and give it some kind of expression...just lying there is like he's sitting back at the shooting range poppin' some dummies and having a beer w/ his buds...but if his hand is clenched and more raised then it adds a sense of tension.

my 2 cents.

Oops, thanks. I thought that sounded weird :P.

He doesn't really have an arm, and when it goes into gun mode, the forearm and hand kinda go under the barrel. Thanks for the tip about the elipsis, I wouldn't have noticed that.

I'll change the arm too. You're right, it's rather boring just hanging there. I imagine with the shock of the gun being fired, it would be held back to steady himself so I'll work with that idea.
