KK // Unfinished stuff

EDIT: Oh yeah, and I figure this could use a little intro...umm, 16 years old, Portugal, music... Daft Punk, deadmau5, nujabes, CYNE... I'm all over the place, but that's what I listen to the most. my general style is anime, but lately I've been trying to paint some stuff, thanks to Tobiee aka, Tobias Kwan, one of my fav artists. Also, I do not suck at traditional, but I don't particularly enjoy working on it. I'm on an iMac, PSCS4 and a bamboo tablet.

Hey, now that the tron stuff is over for me, I can start a thread here to drop my unfinished stuff. so...

something I've been chipping away at:

The Chairman. Will be a lot more colorful :P

Digging that skull face badfunk! Updates!!!!!!

No better way to win the hearts of Soda-Heads than to do fan-art, especially of Sir Badfunk hahaha.

Dont jump into painting too fast man, I love how you worked out GR in pencil and explored some possibilities before jumping into rendering and coloring.

Great start though man!

Ok, sooooo...update. Igo made me double check my picture, and I thought it was boring. SO i'm still gonna give it a quick finish, but I'll be moving onto

anyways, thoughts? i think his head is too big.
5 points if you can guess where the pose comes from.

also, i've heard this a lot since I registed and I want to know: what the hell are tangents? I see you guys worrying a lot about them, but i cant really tell what you mean or why they're bad... Is there any of that tangent crap on this sketch for example? (i know it's messy)

Igo · **Posted:** Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:52 pm

This is looking rad, and no, the head doesnt look "too big."

"Tangents" are when two lines kind of intersect/overlap and it flattens/confuses the area. Like, if a tentacle were to run parallel with a finger and the lines intersect... that make sense? Dont worry, if you get one we'll single them out haha.

But post to any post that you've seen this would be helpful, we usually call it out or circle them in red if we have time to point out all your flaws.

i like this alot man. i hope you carry the yellow/blue onto the final piece. love how hes got that skinny but still ripped body type. kinda like bruce lee. haha

Wow, new piece is great, I think the head size looks fine.

A tangency happens when two objects in your drawing touch instead of overlapping. This can attract attention where you don't want it and confuse the sense of depth.

Thanks for all the explanations on tangent lines guys, I've been thinking more of it while I draw now.

Anyways, just dropping this here, inspired by Blacky's stuff.

Igo · **Posted:** Fri Jan 14, 2011 7:16 pm

THAT is fucking awesome... I mean, there's no way to really put it, but what Blacky has inspired with pop culture characters as WWII characters is phenomenal.

Kanta-Kun · **Posted:** Sun Jan 16, 2011 1:02 am

Thanks, and yeah, it was a great idea. But not only that, blacky wowed everybody into submission with technical skills :)
Sketch of newspidey, from the movie reboot, really liked the new costume design, but I had to wing it on the mask, since there's no ref on that yet.

I know the hand/feet perspective is wrong ;)

Igo · **Posted:** Sun Jan 16, 2011 3:58 pm

I like yours more hahaha. Seems to be simplified a tiny bit, but you did a great job working in the seams and everything. I really wish there werent those torn away parts of the gloves and boots, that makes zero sense to me why they did it that way. I wouldve loved it brought back to a slightly more "home made" feel (and it still couldve been REALLY well home made) but it seems they made it way more complex and impossible to make. But great job to you good sir!

Kanta-Kun · **Posted:** Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:08 pm

Yeah, I'm wondering what they'll make-up for a costume origin story, if anything at all. Parker would need some serious sewing skills to put together 2 different sets of swimsuits AND give them a web-pattern. THAT ASIDE, i still dig it :3

BTW Igo, I'm all for fusing the unfinished/finished stuff. Also, keep spamming the JPG 9 message, because I didn't know that it made such a huge difference, so I always saved at 12. Saving at 9 now to keep loading pages smoother.

Igo · **Posted:** Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:47 pm

I totally said the same thing about his costume sewing skills at work hahaha. They should have some back story at school where he's also an A+ home-ec student.

As for the merger, still considering it, not really sure yet. Id have to rule more fiercely with an iron fist to make sure people arent over-dumping/flooding the forums with an excessive amount of shit, because people seem to think they can get good feedback from posting a billion fucking images, when all ti doesnt is overwhelm people and take forever to load.

And do you notice a visual difference between 9 and 12? Probably not, 12 quality is good if you scan in at high-quality jpg, but you should be using TIFF anyways hahaha. But yeah, 9 jpg is all you EVER need for web shit. I went and re-saved every Tron entry and re-sized them for the official entries posting and I dont think that couldve been done any other way. SOOOO many people used 12 quality jpgs and the file size is just retarded.

Kanta-Kun · **Posted:** Sun Jan 16, 2011 4:59 pm

Unless you zoom in, you really can't see a difference from 9 to 12. And yeah, I try to not post everythin up here. One thing I hate is trying to scroll down through a page, only to have safari continuously load new pics and scroll me up against my will :arghh:

bigmac996 · **Posted:** Tue Jan 18, 2011 1:39 am

cool man! I totally dig the design. Like Igo said, if they're making Peter a typical high school kid, he's got some insane cosplay sewing skills or something. But yeah man cool stuff. I would say if you were to take this to final, just make sure to separate the limbs a little more, because if you squint, they all sorta blend together. Also, it seems like he's perched on a ledge, so the cast shadow underneath wouldn't quite work. But yo good shit man.
