Hehe it needs a bit of fixin' up -- I halfassed it in a rush to get the entire final project done I could see if I can find you the high res though. I just had my backup discs out last night so it should be on one of them.

Thanks I kind of wish I'd taken more time on the action poses lol. Actually I plan to redraw them properly with detailing for posters, because this year I'm restarting the comic book, but right now no there's no plans to have it coloured, it's just part of the character design.

*ACTION* I like this one more than the rope action pic hehe~ I think her right hand is kinda weird looking though @_@ Try referencing your hand, maybe?

mechangel2002 In reply to derk-kun [2005-03-27 07:21:22 +0000 UTC]

Hard to reference my right hand when I need it to draw hehehe...... no I just didn't know what to do with that hand so it's um.... balancing her out >_>

very cool ts hard doin that kind of pose but you totally pulled it off

mechangel2002 In reply to AStrangerInTheNight [2005-03-19 22:53:33 +0000 UTC]

Well not too hard because the leg and one arm are simply semi-hidden with foreshortening, the only thing I had trouble on was her left arm and hand with the gun

wow, awsome capture of movement, but I think it would be cooler if her right hand was in a fist. every thing else is awsome though. great job

mechangel2002 In reply to sketchyTrigg3r [2005-03-18 23:35:30 +0000 UTC]

Her hand is open because its a natural movement of balance The hand would be open to balance. Thanks

Always nice seeing action shots/poses, rather than all the static images of characters.

*nods* I actually got tired of drawing my characters standing there like a lot of artists do.... so the fact that we *needed* action poses for the projects and assignments meant I got more practice at something that looks more interesting lol

YAY perspective.
Yeah, guns are funny things to draw unless you have a referance. Even then, they'er odd...

mechangel2002 In reply to faiden [2005-03-18 21:38:14 +0000 UTC]

I only had a side photo of the gun I modelled hers on XD so I took a guess and incorporated a vanishing point into the gun view like I learned from my drawing class

WOW! Your mastery of anatomy is... wow. *envies* And perspective... *envies a LOT* Gorgeous action pose Mecha. I am so impressed with all of your work lately!! It's a very real looking running pose, very convincing. I love how her hair flows and the look of determination/concentration on her face. Awesome. I think I have to +fave again! Lemme know when I can steal your talent.

Well if you lived around here I could teach you some stuff ^__^ I do that with a couple of my friends at school. I think all the action poses I did were really easy for me to do cause I started out doing loose sketches, getting a feel for the movement of the character. I have an entire page of my sketchbook that's got body shapes scribbled all over it lol

Oooh, I wish we did live close so you could give me some pointers! ...Where do you live again? I need to take a figure drawing class. I'm getting better with female anatomy... I need some work drawing guys though. I need to practice drawing bodies in motion every time I have a spare moment. *makes a note to herself*

Nifty neato! I never thought about going to a Comic Con before. I have people telling me I have to go to the next Further Confusion though. Rawr, we shall see. Are you driving down or flying? It'd be a long drive, but you could stop by SB!
