HEy...

this is an image done for my art class at school.. Its done in Prisma Colour pencils...

Tha actual thing is very large... It took me 8 scans to get the whole picture in...

anyway... I didnt actually get to finish it in class... I may actually just finish up on the computer...

this is my own take on one of spooges work... based around the topic we were given in class. I was mainly copying it from memory and adding in lots of little twists of my own.. http://www.goodbrush.com/index_pgs/index_images/process_index/midway.jpg

I could never figure out how to rub this prisma color out? normal rubbers dont really do a very good job.. so basically when I stuffed a bi of this pic up.. it stuck.
eh the main guys face...

I dig that. Is nice to see a B&W only Prisima color render. I love Prisma colors, makes me wana work with them more

Good going! Hee hee... All this digital/traditional art work I've been doing is giving me sea sickness.

**BOOT!**

Only thing I was confused on was the big white part at the top. Looks like a banner, but, that would make it one huge-A banner I reckon. How long did the whole thing take you so far, and what kind of paper did you use? If'n ya don't mind me ask'n...

Actually the white part is just the part I havent finished

all the whit stuff isnt finished

Its toook me many hours mainly because of the size... id say about 7 or 8 hours on and off for about 2 or 3 weeks.. because we have 50 minute periods...

Umm the paper.. im not too sure what type of paper i used... it just standard white card I think... rather smooth... like Xerox paper (I dont call it Xerox, but dont Amricans)

Hey Hugh, this is a really nice pic. I like the angle and perspective you have used. Are you gonna work on this lots more? Eg, another 7 hours? If you do you could really throw in a lot of detail and add to the chaotic feeling.
Also, did you use a white coloured pencil to do any highlights?

Hey freddio good work man!!!! I like the lighting you are going with in the scene.

Ohh and to make your life easier I think you should not scan those pic ass pics in but get yourself a digital camera and some good lighting and vala there you go one shot deal!!!

You know I never did like that pic by Craig, I guess it isn't my kinda eye candy. I guess hes just too tense up and his muscle is too bulky and closed up, and that face. Is that suppose to be a skull? Or a bad painting of an arabian/asian person?

Well thats what I thought when I saw it the first time so many months ago.

Use of primas colour pencils and digital painting is a little different, so its a lil hard to compare. Although I wasn't too fond of Craig's work in this case, it however did command a sense of action..a sense of the so-call battle at hand. Yours don't. He seems to be happy, and you can't tell if hes fighting or dancing, or sweeping the floor. The otehr men's expression at dull.. and it seem like that guy has two head for one body.. needs more contrast between the two. The lil priest or whatever you call them hats.. doesnt seem right.. hes facin the other way.. and his hat isnt moving that way!

Anyway thats what I saw. Finish it up

well can you do better

Like i said I can see the mistakes... but I can't change it now because I cant rub it out...

still though topped the class by 25 marks so I was pleased

hahaha

Freddio · Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2000 2:54 pm

actually if you compare the two..

I wasnt really copying craigs I was using his as a base theme...

thats why nothing really looks the same..

eg the main guy has a helmet not hair..

kardis · Posted: Fri Dec 22, 2000 7:14 pm

lol is that a challenge? i can draw better than i can paint thats for sure, as a matter of fact, i can't paint at all..

im not saying yours is bad. im just pointing out some stuff

its pretty good.. oh yeah, and thats a helmet? unless i stare at it for a while, its hard to tell at a first glance. define it more, or make t look like a helmet!

im not saying you were copying, im just saying how (even though i didnt like craig's painting) it stood out.. your kinda seems dull (partly due to it being in grayscale and theres no blood), but thats what you get with prisma color pencil

Prismacolor pencils are great.

good work!!!

my only crit is its not dynamic. theres isnt enough sense of depth with the people in front.
