Hello you
so far my favorite thing here is the wasp thing.
this new guy has some pretty fun feet and knees. whatever you did there, do it some more.

I've heard that Italian Greyhounds are Excellent
That looks more like a rat or like some kinda Australian thing. Like a thing that would live in Australia.
Like he's got a pouch probably.
And a name with like four O's in it.

Wanted to make sure I made tonights drawing in time so I drew this on a kids color page.

A Battle Toad with a wiener. Now I've seen EVERYTHING. Your stuff is super dynamic.

I see the Italian greyhound. My dog is actually pharaoh hound and staffordshire terrier. I've spent a lot of time looking at hound pictures, trying to find out where it all went in her, cause I don't see much.

Really nice stuff here. I love your gestures and the characters all look different but still like they could have been done by the same person. And, nice wiener.

Btw, any color work coming? I'd love to see some!

Fennewalde · **Posted:** Wed Feb 09, 2011 11:41 pm

rollbar came out of left field and owned my soul. holy shit bay. that is really excellent excellent. And megatron's legs are super solid too. This is amazing! Keep doing these shapes! Keep doing these lines. (subjects may and should vary) but use the same everything else.

More like this, please. I don't mean draw more Transformers but I want to see you implement the sense of underlying shape and weight that we see here in the rest of your drawings. Also, the character's got a nice and distinctive silhouette going on, helped in no small part by the wheels on the shoulders.

I'd like to see you mess around with your line weights a bit more as well, that Rollbar pic is hurt by the fact that a lot of details are sort of getting muddled together (the arms and head, in particular). Now, this could be down to the fact that you're emulating the movie school of Transformer design but I'd suggest keeping an eye on that.

Also, your comic. I like the general idea but your panel layouts are a tad messy, especially on the second page. They read more like pages where you're quickly jotting down ideas for an actual comic page to be done at some point in the future. Remember that the most important thing when doing a comic page is to treat the entire page as a whole, rather than treating it as a series of panels. Granted, it is a series of panels, but each panel should be treated as one small section of a whole.

For example, I like to think of panels as a series of 'music beats.' Does the beat work? Could that panel be taken out, or do I add another panel here or here? Also remember that the 'gutter' (the space between panels) is equally as important: two panels that are close together will read much differently than two panels that are spaced further apart.

Going back to that second page, there is actually a fairly interesting layout (I like how it sort of zig zags from left to right down the page) going on but it's hurt by the panel layout and composition. Also, please don't take offense, but I'd love to see you do art that is readable without text (the second panel with the guy massing his armies? Nigh-on unreadable sans text). If your reader has to have their hand held and lead through the page mainly by the text then you're going about things the wrong way. If your comic can be read and understood without text, then you have succeeded.

Oh, and finally, keep doing drawing from life. You draw too many characters simply standing around in similar poses, life drawing will encourage you to draw more dynamic poses for your characters.

Keep 'em coming!

NOHJ Stamos. Thank you. The comic pages feel like they flow in my head doing panels that way but ultimately it's the reader. It's something where I would go back and straighten the lines and control the space. The third page bottom section in particular. I wanted a sort of zoom in repeat of the clothesline and just couldn't squeeze it in the middle haha. If you say there's some gold in them thar hills then I'll try cleaning all them up when I sketch them all out.

I wasn't trying to have Rollbar come out all muddy. I was mainly just tossing spices in the pot as I drew so some shut just runs together. But I have it scanned unto my putra to be cleanly colored which should help distinguish things more.

bayless · **Posted:** Sat Feb 12, 2011 10:28 pm

Nothing much tonight. Expect loads of sketch work tmrw. I'll be posting cicely sketches from two games I'm developing with a friend.

bayless · **Posted:** Mon Feb 14, 2011 12:42 am

want to make a side scroller beat-em-up of the Transformers movie.

This is a concept sketch of one of the most epic games in creation.

bayless · **Posted:** Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:36 am

More of these. I can't decide if I want these chibi proportions or not. A lot of my basis is the Scott Pilgrim game and I like the way it looks. Idk. Opinions?

Also... It's HeMan week?

bayless · **Posted:** Wed Feb 16, 2011 12:20 am

drawn without lifting the pencil

same but while staring at the actual image

this was going to be done simply on the paper then i got tired of coloring in the black. when i scanned it in i figured i could set it up with this at least.

(not impressive... just an image i saw and wanted to put down)
