Sijun Forums :: View topic - More complicated stuff--thanks, EviLToYLeT(Now in Technicolo

Lunatique · Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2002 6:26 am

EviLToYLeT's comment about not seeing me do more complex scenes got me thinking(thanks

). It HAS been a while since I did any complex narrative paintings. A friend of mine also mentioned she'd like to see more dynamic stuff from me, so I did these just to get back into shape. I think I like them, and will paint them.

*sigh* That's adding ANOTHER 2 pieces to the WIP stack. Grrrrr.......

Dr. Bang predicted I'll never finish these. I hope I can prove him wrong.

Any C&C will be appreciated.

Color it!!!

Wish I could rate you...
Why can't I?

Thanks.

The rating thing is misunderstood. It was a bad idea to begin with. It's supposed to rate how others feel about a particular member, not how good their work is. Many people turned it off in their profile. I did because it's just silly.

looks like mad mortigan (sp?) from willow. looks good luna , i'd like to see what happens with the second picture.

On the second one wouldn't the worry
be infront of his family instead of behind

jr- Heh. I'm a Val Kilmer fan. I think it's the long braids on the sides that does it.

I thought about it too, but compositionaly it didn't look as good. Hmmm. What if I add threats behind them as well? Let me try that.

Lunatique · Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2002 10:36 am

How's this?

Looks good, one tip though, save b&w drawings as Gifs and modem users will be happier

oh yeah!, that works, loving the composition..

Nice...Hope you'll manage to finish it.

Suggestion:
If you moved the hero and his family (or maybe villain?) towards the bottom right so that he is put in a more "opposite" location in relation to his main adversary i believe it could become more dynamic.

louis finazzo · Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2002 10:44 pm

you'd damn well better finish these two ;} love the 2nd one, love the 1st one... even more so the addition to the 2nd one. should turn out to be exceptional paintings if you finish them.

Amazing luna, i love pics with that type of theme, i wish i could draw like you!!!

Excellent Pictures

Looking snazzy!!! I like em all!!

On the last one.. The reaper dude.. give his cape a little wind action.. Your hero guy and his gal have waving hair in the wind... But other than its looks promising! You better paint these!

Great Job Luna

nice drama and storytelling sense on both of them.

the right upper leg looks too long in the second picture (foreshortening).

Damn nice sketching Lunatique, like your style.. Kinda see hints of Steve Dillon (guys face) in that first one.

hmmm..the first one with the male character almost reminded me of Don Bluth's Dirk the Daring from Dragon's Lair...always loved that show

Lunatique · Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2002 5:40 am

I went ahead and roughed in the colors. I'm not sure if I like the color scheme. C&C?

Bg · Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2002 10:15 am

One more thing, It would be easier for your eyes if you painted the pic in "not rotated" position, you can rotate it later, even Mullins has some (perspective) problems in his tilted images...

Bg · Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2002 10:18 am

Oh and you could play more with the shadows on this one.

EviLToYLeT · Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2002 7:11 pm

looking good. glad to see i was of some help.

hehe... maybe you can drop me a line and i can visit you sometime during break.

I find the color scheme way to 'lite'. This scene almost begs to be a dusk or a full moon night set-up.

Dr. Bang · Posted: Fri Mar 29, 2002 11:14 pm

AWESOME Lunatique, i love her ass on the first pic. For the coloring part, i think you nailed the skin tone right. BUT, for some reason, the color arent very exciting and harmonous, perhaps, its because of grey sky in the bg. The light would be natural if it was yellow, right now, its white, just like in a office building.

Since theres so much things in this image, maybe you could stretch the width of the pic a bid wider, cause i find more appropiate that way.

NOW GET TO WORK AND STOP BANGING CHICKS!!

Lunatique · Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2002 8:00 am

Thanks for the crits.

Bg- spooge has perspective issues? No WAY.

EviLToYLeT- you mean in Sunnyvale or China? In case you didn't know, I'm taking a sabbatical in China until sometime next year(or until I'm done with learning Maya).

chrono1- You know what? I've been thinking the exact same thing. I think dusk might be super cool.

Bang- hehe. The picture used to be SQUARE. I already elongated it a bit, but I dunno about even longer.

I'll probably change it to dusk lighting, so no more pale office lights!

Hey, you implying I'm banging anyone else other than my GF? YOU are DR. BANG, not me.
