Hey! Did you know that I'm dirt-poor? If you appreciate this website, feel free to send along some cash!
Hey guys...I've been trying to perfect a new style for a while now. It's pretty simple looking, but I want it to have room for as much detail as I want without making the drawings too cluttered. Anyway, the inspirado for the style is a mixture of Calvin and Hobbes, Manga and those little 1 color pamplets you find at hospitals and such called CLASSIC SCRIPTOGRAPHY. I think I've gotten a'ight at getting what I want. Was wondering what III thinks. Sorry these aren't scanned. Only have a camera and didn't bother doing level adjustments or anything. These are just straight up unedited photos. Any specific pictures redlined welcomed. :) I know a couple of mistakes already on some (like this one...his back leg is just stupid)...but I'd like to see some redlines. Thanks...

Was drawing Trencher...
Meh, last one.
Interesting. I think your decision to simplify the faces take a lot away from the art. The bodies come off as being a bit more detailed while the faces are overly simple. Try finding a middle ground. I really think if you lower the detail on the bodies you'll get a smoother result. But experiment! Detailing the faces could give you more expression without having to clutter up the picture. All in all its pretty good stuff, just tweak it a bit. You should try doing short comic scripts to put the style into action. You'll find that any style is put to a test when you have to draw using a degree of poses, expressions, and perspectives to tell a story. Even if it is just 1 to 3 panels.

You SHOULD adjust the levels next time.
Feels like, Tintin gone manga. It's fresh, mystifying, it makes me confused, it makes me hard, I feel like a 13 year old schoolboy again, fapping for reasons unknown. In short; I like it
You need to work on your poses. Often times the feet seem off or something just looks way too funky.
>>6417 Noted. Will play around with detail levels. I really like the faces how they are, mostly because with faces, I have a HUGE consistency problem if there's too many details to work with, thus the simplified, exagerrated details. >>6419 Ok.>>6420 I'll just pretend I didn't read the fapping part and say thanks. Glad you dig it.>>6422 I know I have problems with feet, especially at odd angles...do you have any suggestions of practices or references to look at? I try to just keep the details in there, but the foot isn't really something I can look at from a 3rd person perspective on myself, so I can't really get a good idea of how to do the initial shape when sketching the pose...I understand where the ankle goes and that it's essentially a triangle/pyramid coming from there, but I'm trying my HARDEST to not resort to Rob Liefield feet...cause his feet are retardedly gay and I'd like to think even my mis-shapen feet are better than his shit. :)Thanks for the comments, keep 'em coming.
