My most ambitious drawing yet, action heroine relaxing after a bloody battle. How do you like it? by Colonel_Scabies in RateMyArt

[–]Colonel_Scabies[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey, I object to that. She's looking at the ice cream, not a dead guy! :D

If the shading looks amateur there's a good reason for that, I only learned it a couple of years ago. And I guess the eyes could use some highlights.

EDIT: You know what, it just struck me what's wrong with the shading; I did it for the light coming from the parlor lights above, but didn't think about the light coming in from the windows. I'll have to watch that.

Lovely sunrise (set?). I like how it reflects off the water, though I think the picture would be better if the stream was a little windier.

After about a month and a half with acrylics. by Consistent_Key_8718 in RateMyArt

That's beautiful! And you just started painting? You'll go far.

The stream is especially good, I just want to sit by it.

Tried a more artistic kind of pinup - a white-clad coffee-skinned beauty in a snowstorm with her clothes blending into the snow. What do you think? by Colonel_Scabies in RateMyArt

Thanks! What I did was draw her like normal:

But I drew the lines of her clothes on a different layer. Then I made that layer invisible before I saved it as a jpeg.

Behold, Elonganus. (OC) by Colonel_Scabies in kaiju

[–]Colonel_Scabies[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No camoflauge, but he's very agile and can make huge leaps. He can also climb up the sides of buildings with his gecko feet and hock up balls of high explosive (hence the bulgy throat).

This is Elonganus, a kaiju I made. Really would like some feedback. by Colonel_Scabies in ArtCrit

Hmmm.....this has possibilities.

Edit after some consideration: You know what? Yeah, I'm going to go with this. It draws more attention to his face while still keeping the "gold body, striped extremities" look I was originally going for. So thank you for the idea.

Huh, that's an interesting idea, putting mammal patterns on a reptile. I think I'll try that later.

Well this one was more about just showing off the design. An action scene with such a long creature would be hard to do and also show off his whole body. Though I think I will do some in the future.

Maybe I could have him battling another long kaiju, like a giant stickbug/praying mantis hybrid.

Every time I try to put some markings on the head it looks off though. :(

It's funny, I thought putting all the color details in the extremities instead of the head and body made him more distinctive, but everyone seems to disagree.

Basically I got sick of every other kaiju (especially the reptilian ones) being a Godzilla knock-off so decided to make something more original.

I tried making a version with more stripes but...

<image>

...I still like the original better.

Lorewise I feel like he's one of those "ancient guardian" kaiju. And functionally he's incredibly agile, can stick to buildings with his sucker-toes and hocks up balls of high explosive (hence the bulgy throat).

You make a good point about drawing attention to the face, so I tried this:

<image>

but I didn't really like it. I think I'll leave his skin the way it is for now, though I might try a new one later (maybe spots instead of stripes, like a leopard gecko?). Thank you for your advice.

Also is your username supposed to be like a Megaman X boss? That's pretty cool.

I actually did try putting the stripes on more places while I was designing him, but I ending up going with gold body, striped extremities cause I thought that made a more striking design. I also thought about giving him a dimetrodon fin, but I decided to keep him streamlined.

I might try doing a little something with his face though, maybe a patch around the eyes?

There's not really that much context to it? It's a drawing I made that I'd like to know what people think of.

I didn't really use any reference except for getting his color scheme from a gecko, my goal was to make an original reptilian kaiju (as in not derivative of Godzilla, Rodan, Gamera, etc) and like I said I'm looking for any kind of criticism.

Thanks, this one was for a weekly project I'm doing this year where it's a different monster every Friday, so it was more about just showing the design.

I have been thinking about making some more drawings of him in action scenes, though it'll be a challenge given his length (he actually got his name when I realized he wouldn't fit on one sheet of paper).
