Ikarus777 responds:

Thank you, details are fun I have to admit

[Abel's Quarry]

Very Detailed

I love the depth you put in this piece and the idea for the copper prosthetics very cool.

Id love to add color shading to my work but i haven't quite cot on to the technique. I find it difficult to do with the wide spectrum of colors and brightening and darkening one type of color.

As someone with experience shading in black & white what advance do you have for someone that wants to add color to their work through shading with colors and has Photoshop as a tool?

sucho responds:

actually i really suck at shading manually, with pencils and such.... buut, what i used to do with photoshop was make a monotone shaded piece and then make a separate layer with flat shades that i wanted, right clicked the layer and hit 'blending options' to set a filter to make it transparent. its nice if you want something retro-looking, as it tends to give off the vibe of those old colourized photos from the 1940's. the piece in my gallery called Nikolus (thumbnail is a closeup of a series of gashes on a grey limb) was done with that process. this picture though, like most others in my gallery was just done by guesswork though and not filtering colours. it just takes practice, observation, and experimentation

[Lines]

Very Immersive

Lots of detail that make you look at it for a long time i love very cool. I like these kinda of pics i get ideas for these kinda but never take the time to make them.

Jakubias responds:

Well, I motivate myself by dropping some tits here and there. It's always enjoyable to draw boobs, and when they occur time after time, the whole piece is quickly done.

[Nari Kiss]

Oh wow this is so hot

The very sec i saw this thats what i thought. I like how you show her ass checks all though im not sure if that it is correct to see them from that angle? Ether way you got my 10 correct or not lol.

Vortex00 responds:

lol thanks XD

[Heavy Metal]

Aweome Job

I like how you captured the 70s 80s Heavy Metal feel from the covers back then. Just a suggestion even thought its not a cover and all for the mag i would have put more focus on her by maybe drawing her larger im no pro but that's what i was taught.

Awesome work with the coloring though.

Would you mind if you could check my work im not sure if it's visible to the poblic other then me?

Occluded responds:

That's what I was going for. Which is actually the reason she's so small. Part of it. I was emulating the illustrations I fell in love with when I was 10. Reading my dads old copies of Heavy Metal magazine on the sly. I gave myself some pretty ludicrous restrictions when working on it. Among them is working at print scale. This thing is really 3600 x 4550. Also CMYK. Instead of just converting when I was finished. Leaving me with some pretty tired looking reds and greens.

In other news. You aren't scouted yet. I'll PM you. Why did I write any of this? I don't know. But it stays.

[Contra]
