0.3 mm mechanical HB pencil cleanup. I'll never use 0.3 mm again^^. I took ages to clean up. I'll stay with 0.7mm like I usaly do from now on. I just wanted to try a thin pencil, becasue Ive been looking at Evana's drawings , and I cant belive how she's able to create such clean looking traditional lines..

[jahnocli]

Beautiful.

[Terro]

Berautiful. The shading is top notch and makes all the difference.

[KOTK]

Awesome.

I get a feeling of Spirited Away when looking at this.;)

hiya com,me and terro where thinking of starting to feature cool art threads (above) instead of just doing animation threads.

and offer talent points,for the best art posted in this forum,this could very well be the first,who knooooooows!!

nice stuff.

[vicjperry]

Just title it "Comlock's art thread". Can't get cooler work than that.:D (the best actually)

[NOOB!]

went ahead and gave ya another bronze,maybe terro will front page later

[Terro]

I will definitely front page everything. I must appologize for the lack of my actrivity but this week is killer. Been busting my ass at work.

Congratulations on the talent point!!!

Bugger me! (please dont!) You never fail to impress me Comlock :eek: :)

[KillerEmu]

Just a question waht program did you use to make this? And waht kind of brush?

[Neo_Crisis]

Nice!!!!:eek: Yeah I'm curious too.

[August]

Nice stuff

[Terro]

You guys don't listen, lol. Comlock usually used Alias Sketch book and photoshop.

[Comlock]

I drew it traditionaly with pencil, and did the rest in Adobe photoshop.

Cellshaded by using the pen tool. Gives theese jagged edges wich makes it easier to change the colour by using bucketfill later. (I'll shrink the image to a smaller resolution later, so it will all get smooth/antialiased anyway)

Rest of the subtle shading on the characters and the background was done with custum brush

I have "shape" and "other" dynamics turned on. They're both controlled by the "pen pressure" If you get in there.

If anyone's intrested, here's an early photoshop file: (it's shrinked down in size though)

You can easily colour the lineart since it's in a masked layer in this file. But I just chose black for this one.

Arthur is this (http://evana.deviantart.com/) the Evana you speak of?:o

[Comlock]

Yepp, that's the one=)
She have some other drawings on this link aswell.

It's all drawn traditionaly, then coloured later in photoshop. Amazing artist.
The anatomy is so damn solid too. Same goes for the line quality...

[KOTK]

Ahh. I remember her from Brackenwood now. Is she still active?

[Comlock]

Nope, She has'nt been logged on there since May 7 2005, 09:01 AM ^^
