Character WIPs

[MatthewGraves]

I've been hesitant ever since browsing through these forums to include my own work, because most of the people here are absolutely amazing at what they do.

But I figure I'll throw up a few of my things just to get some constructive feedback, because from what I've seen this is probably one of the most constructive places on the net, for art. :D

This is my girlfriend's night elf druid, from WoW, that I drew for her. First sketch then the colors in progress. The coloring style is different from what I normally do -- I've been practicing with painting on colors and shades, rather than overlaying transparent layers of black to shade.

And the color WIP

This was a quick design I drew up in class, a redesign of the soldiers in my comic Anathema Complex (which is down at the moment, otherwise i'd link). Pencil and ink.

A character design for a new story that I've been kicking around in my head. This was 100% photoshop and Wacom.

Another class drawing. I may have been drunk, I'm not sure. :P The words feel kind of cheesy at this point, but I'm too lazy to remove them right now.

I think I used Stacy whatsherface, the wrestling chick, in Maxim for the ref on this drawing:

A rehash of a drawing I made after watching Elfen Lied. That show is twisted.

A drawing for a tarot deck I'd been working on:

Fanart for my friend Xerjester's webcomic, Swordwaltzer. Pencil and microns, on bristol board.

And finally, another class drawing. Microns and a Sakura ink Brush pen, on bristol:

I like the pose on the elf on the top of the page. Maybe adding in the right arm somewhere would help the image...

I really like the line work on your pen drawings, very dynamic. I don't think you should worry too much about posting here, you've already got a great sense of form and a style to match.

Keep is up.
