Description PSO fanart version 5. ok, i actually went through all my pso pics and realised that the last one was in fact version 4, teehee.

Anywayyyyyy, im very very pleased to report that things have all of teh sudden become very clear. It might not be evident, but what it means is that i can start focusing more on doing pictures rather than experiments all teh time. I'm ... actually pretty happy with this style ATM - whether its properly illustrated in this picture is another matter, but in terms of how this pic actually came together was very ... liberating for me. And for once, you can flip this pic horizontally and the face doesnt look totally distorted although ... im not sure if the chin shading is really working and ... the forearm maybe should be a little bit higher up, who knoes. But, im not saying this pic is perfect anyway i was just saying im happy with ... how this pic game together :thumbup:

Took about one and half hours, (takes longer than my normal pencil stuff, but imo looks much neater). The uhm ... "costume" isnt entirely correct - the shield should actually be on the left arm, and he should be holding the saber with his right arm ... but i guess this could be a left handed geeza? hoh. and also, HUmars normally come with a shoulder pad blah blah, but i took that off deliberately. thought it looked better "bare" arm, even though its liek ... lycra or something. But it wasnt reference, so meh! Enough waffling, all comments welcome and appreciated, thanks !

Excellent Detail, and a great character pose......this picture reminds me of that Ash character who was with Kireek in a mission in the game...

yea, your right about the arm, most drawing do look better with muscle texture, i think. all of the changes you made made the pic look really cool. good shading and it only took you about an hour and a half? its crazy good. (something looks strang with the face, prob. just me) I might be able to do half that well if you gave me about 5 or so hours. its awesome

hehe I will have to let you know...hey send me a note! I am going to really get into the game today since I am on break and then I can give a more complete review..but so far I like it! OH you also get to choose whether you are on the Hero side or dark side..bascially whether you are working with the government or against it.

hmm the lines in here are also quite simple *texturewise that is* but this one feels different , in a good way ^^ i would say this gives a neat feeling

good work

heh, i gotta admit a lot of the lack of detail compared to my usual stuff is down to the original PSO costume being quite simple in form. maybe i should do my own take on the costume ... or try and redesign it or something. would be interesting!

Jalingon3011 In reply to martinhoulden [2004-03-06 01:33:19 +0000 UTC]

hmm that would be nice ^^

i saw ur feature dev bout the Alien. I think it also has quite a simple form but u took the use of texture quite well in that one too

Lovely detail!

I'm sorry, I'm quietly laugh because on the right hand he's doing "The CLAW"... it's my personal humour, I'm sorry!

But anyways, brilliant work as always!
