I guess that shows the kinds of crazy O.D. can be.

Haha, I get that so often with this character. Is it safe to assume you got a character with those kind of shades, too?

Thank you! I know, he's man meat! Is it me or does his suit look greenish? It's supposed to be really dark gray.

Thank you, you should be. It's for an OC tournament, maybe you should join some time?

Kinda, yeah! But they have lines on the bottom. Kamina's are more sharp.

Flat to rest on mighty cheekbones, perhaps?

Slender him out: he's a fast and agile character.

How do I do that? Are his thighs too big?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Huh...now that I look at it, his crotch is tucked awfully high up on his body. You need to let that package hang down some more.
Big...manly package...
..I'm totally not gay.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, you're not. I used to just let it all hang out, but my GF hated it. So to start making her happy I avoided it. I'll get to doin' it more often, 'cause Overdose needs that. HE'S A MAN!!

Actually, the height of the crotch isn't a problem since it conforms by the proportions set by the head. You have to realize though how flat and wide your crotch is.
Here's the problem when you don't draw transparently and start cropping your drawings before they're even complete in layout (I mean, his legs are supposed to be behind the sign but you LITERALLY chopped them off because they don't continue afterwards towards the end of the actual frame): if you continued his legs down to his feet, do you realize how spread out and wide his leg stance would be? It doesn't seem to fit this super-assassin character he has. He'd most likely have his feet near each other, probably bent and ready to strike, with weight on one foot instead of the other.
But overall with this cropping, it makes him feel short and wide. Subconsciously, you think that he has short legs and that his feet end up behind the sign. That explains the crotch.

Actually. I know exactly what you mean. I drew the legs far apart in the first place, but I didn't like the large space in between the legs. So I chopped 'em off with the sign, because I thought the pose was to great to trash. and he wouldn't stand leg to leg most the time. Overdose's personality is pretty much 40% assassin 60% barbarian. So he likes to take very manly poses and he'd rather put his manly apeal over functional movments. Though, his skill is undeniable. >.>

But in that case, I should have visually gotten it right away as the audience. And sure, the pose is nice, but if you need to redraw something then don't be lazy about it and redraw it (like the legs).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, good point. I'll try not to be lazy. Although, it's pretty hard with my packed schedule.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can understand that part.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.. it sucks. But practice is getting pretty fun. Thanks for keeping me up on that.

No probs. /keeps on typing shit for school

You use photoshop, right? Select with lasso and Ctrl+T for transform tool. His body is way too wide for his head. It doesn't feel at all like the same character I've seen in JvC.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Some times I can't draw him the same way. I'm having trouble with that. And my style has changed due to a bad art block. I'll try that lasso trick next animation class.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just had a better view on my monitor at home: thin out more on the bottom than the top. Try to imagine he actually has a waist line behind his arms. A lot of drawing issues are solved by drawing the layout transparently at first (and not being so lazy). Hell, your girlfriend likes using hair as an excuse for not having to draw necks and stuff, but since she's not thinking about the underlying structure as well, it feels off and disjointed because the head becomes misplaced compared to where it's supposed to be on the body.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Any image reference for that? I think I know what you mean, but I don't wanna practice the wrong way. (yeah, thats her habit in art.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't have any examples on me, but it's purely something you do because of getting the perspective of things work right. The closest I could find as an example on Google is this doodle from Feng Zhu, but for environments: [link] If he didn't draw transparently and based his stuff off what he believed to be exact, then it would had been completely off.

Thank you! I know, he's the shit. Would you ever consider joining the Jvc? Maybe during the summer?

Sure

Looks like this is the first time you actually colored him.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I thought it came out pretty good. I don't like to color him in the comics though. What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's good. Looks pretty close to the colors I put on him. There's a couple details I didn't see from the non-colored forms so the real ref sheet will be useful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The real reference sheet doesn't show him in his full body suit. It show his suit with out him in it. It sucks so far, but it'll do for the time.
