Description i'm sorry since everyone loved those dumbass colors way too much, but i decided to leave the final =Spark-bound teaser a little more professional looking. so for those of you smart (or not?) enough to come sniffing around the update, i've loaded the newly completed layer of the boys in true(ish) color with all the lines and details visible, and their proportions and positioning altered to a way i can be committed for the duration of this project. i can finally flatten them now so my computer stops seizing. shading and atmosphere are a long and frustrating process with two thousand active forms registering.

so savor the flavor cuz they ain't coming back til this is ALL DONE AND OVER WITH. :] and hopefully i don't make a career out of using stock for vecks but rather learn to draw.


OLD:

this is a preview advertisement sluttage for the promotion-LOA society of solicitors with even less drive than they have talent. for example, used a stock for placement and build but adherence to it pretty much ends there (against my better judgment as someone who doesn't draw very well). i didn't even preserve the original proportions so i'm on my own there as well.

please tune your receivers to =proyecto-LOA to find out what happens next to stereotypical lanky-british-guy-and-uptight-hardcore-kid sneakycovertly chasing scantily-clad whorebag in tinsel disco wig through a crowded goth industrial airplane hangar rave fuck drug fest.
featuring front 242.
yes, it's headhunter.
AND YES, it's the remix.

The guy in the rabbit mask makes me think of Frank from Donnie Darco...

Great job on drawing them in mask - at least for me, it's always hard to line up the face with the mask.

i hate that fucking lameass weirdo movie and i'm sick of hearing about it... thought i was in the safe zone years later, but no... lol. i do know that almost anyone who doesn't completely hate it is up its ass with love for it so i will accept that as a very gracious compliment. XD

looking at it, i don't even think i lined up the masks very well. o_o fortunately i can still fix it. but i'm glad you like the idea, kind of was the selling point here.

Hey man, sorry, didn't think that you had such intense feelings about the movie - but thanks for accepting the comment still.

By the way, I love your icon. xD Poor Greed - he was one of my favorites. Plus, even though he did get screwed, he did better than Sloth (oh Wrath, you little fool...).

Sloth's death made me cry.
i think it was Bratja playing in the background.

*nods head* I think so too. I was so surprised that they would have a Russian song playing.
Hughes's death made me cry the most though. My friends and I just broke down in tears for ten minutes during the burial scene.

Oh cool I love this. Sorry I haven't been commenting, works been hell and I've been doing Tattoo work up the wazzoo but you knew that already.

I like the masks, they're interesting. Also love the shoes. I can't draw feet to save my life...

sparkpenguin In reply to DemonShuriken87 [2007-12-19 08:18:40 +0000 UTC]

well i'd buck the credit for the feet on this one, but i actually did have to re-draw them. the guys in the photo were wearing like... hiking boots. totally not scene or indie kid wear.

as far as footwear goes... i'm not great, but i like specialize in chuck's so.... don't feel undermined... i have an unnatural amount of practice and reference drawing them since EVERY ONE OF MY CHARACTERS SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME has worn them and so have i.

bare feet i can't draw though. horrible.

Oh dear, here we go! Everybody, down on the floor! Shut up, just give them the money! XP I like how this looks so far. The finished product will be so awesome to see! The bunny-mask guy's shirt reminds me of Thirtyfive. You know, the birds and all...

sparkpenguin In reply to wolfgirl626 [2007-11-28 05:12:11 +0000 UTC]

haha yeah the bird thing kinda lingers around me subliminally... also the jacket's got a similar cut. it's not pressed though just a crummy cotton scene jacket. they're supposed to doves flying over the upside-down cross, i thought the irony-in-blasphemy thing was sooooo emo. (thanks norma jean)

yay for masked armed robbery! or in this case... abduction... *soap organ*

wolfgirl626 In reply to sparkpenguin [2007-11-28 15:02:39 +0000 UTC]

Heheh, I like how they look kinda 90's too! Rather than those gigantic black raver pants with the hundreds of pointless zippers and chains, like at some of the clubs now days.

Now I'm wondering who they're going to abduct? I'm sure I'll find out soon though!

sparkpenguin In reply to wolfgirl626 [2007-11-29 04:53:12 +0000 UTC]

oh dude... they hate ravers.. well not the cat guy so much because he's pretty tolerant but the bunny guy is like, my biggest douchebag chara ever besides Thirtyfive.... he's a snotty... jock-y... scene kid. "EW OMG CANDY KIDS! dude. dirt. RAVERS ARE GHEY. anything that's not what i am is ghey."

just being in that place rubs him wrong...
and you'll find out... oh yes.

sparkpenguin In reply to wolfgirl626 [2007-12-01 05:52:50 +0000 UTC]

i like him too a little, he's a compilation of things that i equate with being outside and meeting new people and... being in the scene. a lot of me went into him too.

i actually think he's MORE of a douche than Thirtyfive, come to think of it... o: he doesn't have any excuse for how he acts.
and i can't answer that for you. i'm afraid... you'll have to ask lars.

Cinematic-Grey [2007-11-25 05:38:16 +0000 UTC]

Heeey ths looks way better. Though I think it would be nice to have a bit of background. Also, whyis Seth a bunny? I can see why Levy has the cat mask. Either way, great job.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

sparkpenguin In reply to Cinematic-Grey [2007-11-25 09:23:54 +0000 UTC]

because Seth is a bunny. i figured though it'd be hard to find a mask that coordinates with his ACTUAL bunny form, and also i wanted to insult his pride a little with a goofy easter mask. i modeled it after one i have on my desk. in a way though, i thought it was kinda hipster-y for him to wear a cutesy one... it makes it freakier. it also seems like something an indie-mo kid would do to be funny and thereby, cooler than everyone else. CHECK OUT MY AWESOME BUNNY MASK GUYZ I AM SO HOT. I AM SO HOT RIGHT NOW. IRONY IS SEXY. WTF ARE YOU LOOKIN AT BRAH!? *swells up on some innocent guy*

it's gettng background when it's done; and i'm playing with the idea of a fade of the Major looking frightened, just a face shot.

Cinematic-Grey In reply to sparkpenguin [2007-11-26 11:33:18 +0000 UTC]

Ah. No wonder, I didn't realize he was a bunny since his form isnt that cutesy like the mask. Though your right, it does sound like something a guy like him would do. Plus I like the Major idea.

dude's fine. i'm a bit of a feminazi lately in the wake of this whole yaoi craze but i'll never turn the dude address. and thanks, yeah the warm tones are completely just to feature the outlines for people with dim box monitors and the real colors i'm using before i put them in a dark atmosphere with lots of multicolored light noise.

Well you never fail to impress so I can't wait for the final product with all the other effects and such in use. I recently got a new tablet pc and the graphics card on this is prime, so coming back and looking over your older stuff is like seeing them for the first time. I appreciate your awesome coloring ten folds now, you're frickin' awesome!

misterzubair In reply to sparkpenguin [2007-11-26 05:53:13 +0000 UTC]

Actually it is the screen, but I think the card also adds (or limits) exactly how well images are produced. And thanks, me likey!

Like some dude said up there...I also really like the way the hands are drawn. As well as the arms. Most of the time, people will draw arms down by their sides and it will look all crappy and stiff, but you did it perfectly. It looks natural. That cat mask is so adorable. Seth looks like he is being a dick. What a bitch. Tell that scene bitch to give me my jacket back!

ROFL.

dude, i... didn't draw this freehand. :<
i used a stock.

i feel like shit for you complimenting me on that part lol
i DO have to draw their outfits myself 9since the guys in the stock were dressed like... well i don't wanna insult em. the front guy was kinda cool.)

of course Seth is being a dick... he's a scene kid in a room full of flailing goths. XD imagine the possiblities...

I dunno, these colours might work like a sorta 'Simpsons' effect. Eye-catching to give it character, but not too weird.

Still, I can't really tell 'til I've seen the other version.
