@dnewling, asked how I made the eye in this weeks R/R challenge. I thought I would post it over here, in case it helps anyone else. It's one of my bag of tricks I use for fire, water, jungle undergrowth and all sorts of other things. I start with several scanned and vectored paint squiggles like this:

I layer a bunch of different colors, like blues for water, yellow/orange/red for fire, etc. For the iris of the eye I just took the 'fire' and applied a 180° arc in Illustrator, rotated a couple of copies, tweaked it a bit, added a couple of shaded overlays for depth and boom, eyeball. You can see a couple of duplicated shapes in there, usually I edit them out, but I only had an hour to fit this in.

Neat stuff FredG and Oddbill, I love reading art process things.

Loving the pieces. Some of them have this craggy, long-limbed Æon Flux quality, which I love. I also love the sketchy flapper-ish girl with the bob and the close-up of the girl looking over her shoulder. Great capture of her face.

Here is a $20 lunch sketch commission played with a bit iin photoshop.
Never really watched this show and Nathan Fillians look was really difficult to me. Didn't know if he had a catch phrase so as I was looking through quotes there was mention of space monkeys. dirty space monkeys. Thought it would make a great episode chasing monkeys through the ship. Dirty space monkeys.

Creatures of the warp have but one trait with which you need concern yourself - their undying contempt for the Emperor.

It is your task to quell the rebellion they preach, and the only sure way is to destroy them utterly.

40k might be my favorite fictional universe. Had a swap meet today at my local game store and I drew 40k characters for unpainted Tyranid models. Drew from kick ass cos-play Might go back to this soon and keep playing around with it.

2012-04-23T02:19:09-07:00

All right, bitches! I'm about to go through the whole thread! Sorry in advance about the massive post:

@moali: Beautiful work on the wrinkles and hair. Two things I never get right.

@jackcrowder: Love the arcade machine one and the Spanish girl. Great retro vibe in style and poses from the arcade guys. :D

@JuanNavarro: Digging the squishiness of the lines, if that makes any sense. :) Good work!

@mojokingbee: Makeout drawing: That is a very hungry couple. :D It's got a great feel to it! ... The "new comic" and Wolverine Girl post: That overhead shot of the bed is fantastic. I'm not exactly sure what it is, I just think you've managed to really balance the linework well in it. Also, great work on the perspective of the Wolverine one. I hate doing perspective, I ALWAYS mess it up, especially faces. Joker looks suitably insane. In fact, I tend to look a bit like that when I'm grinning. Great classroom shot with tons of detail. :D

@no cuddle time: I love the textures of your strokes. Very bleak and crazy.

@256: Loving the design. Very "Tubemap of London". Reminds me a bit of the game Atom Zombie Smasher.

@FredG: Interesting technique! I actually thought you had used a photo of an eye and cartoonified it.

@WednesdayWolf: Your Yoda is one of the most insane, fantastic things I've seen in a long time. I want a massive print of it! :D I also want a whole comic book with the adventures of Chewie and Yoda.

@Edwin: The resemblance to Mr Stipe is absolutely uncanny. The general shape of it gives me the feeling of a Mad comic. I'm not sure why.

@dorkmuffin: The one you're not sure about: It has a very rough texture, like it's not quite finished, but that's also what I like about it. Their faces look dead but their eyes look terrified, which is pretty much how I'd feel at a gala party. :D

@tnperkins: Great work, man! And great, dynamic compositions, too!

@used_bandaid: I think you mean OmigoshCyoot!! :D I would love to see that style through a whole illustrated book. :)

@oddbill: Those progress sketches are fantastic. Kind of puts me in mind of a more organic Aeon Flux. Beautiful but not streamlined at all. Also, love the handipede thing. :D

@Amalgamated Biscuit: Great style, very confident. Also; informative! YAY! Cat by castle: Loving the watercolours. Good tones!

@kenbastard: Great in general, but I love the smokey lines going through it. :)

@JP Stargazer: That's a SPEED drawing?! Crap, man! That is seriously not crap.

@ImaginaryPeople: Dude, awesome style. And I love the execution of the idea. :D

@Jason A. Quest: BAHAHAHAHAH! :D I especially love how terrified she is! "No no, Jesus. I'm not fucking with you. Please... Where the fuck is that bus?!"

@Rooth: Bad-ass sword-wielding chick: Beautiful tones, man! Just remember: People don't want to be sword.

@Animated Trigger: I went and looked at the rest of the comic, and it looks great. I can tell you haven't 100% found your groove yet, but you have great design skills and it's a really creative world you've made for your character. I expect great things from you. :D

@InitiateZao: I lovelovelove that Captain Tightpants portrait. There's something fantastic about the bendiness and the general style of it. Ichido has some fantastic texturing. Especially his torso. Damn it! Your Depp-as-Barnabus sketch just made me actually want to see the Dark Shadows movie now! Zardoz NEEDS a Nolan-remake. I didn't even consider it until now, but I feel it's imperative it gets made at this point.

@Dextra: I love that man, and I love your drawing. Good work! Very sinister.

@3millionyears: There's the beginnings of something great here. :D

@Pupato: Mr Brain is creeping me out. Make him stop. Please. Please make him stop. The stirring. WHY WON'T HE STOP STIRRING?!

@ChrisG: What's bleh about the green dude? Looks perfectly sound to me! Nice, confident lines.

@NeilFord: I'm digging that Page 1 landscape. Your Minimalistic detail works incredibly well and the shapes of the people are striking, even if they ARE checking their texts. :D God, man. Your portraits are atrociously awesome! The shapes, the shading, the lines! I'm in love!

@HEYAPATHY!: I really quite like the blocks design.Love the cars coming through the little streets.

@KPerkins: Awww! Lovely, minimalistic rendering that comes to nice really well.

@Paul Sizer: Love it! Hulk is particularly good. :D

Maybe next time I'll remember to do this as it happens rather than AT THE END OF THE MONTH! Idiot.
