I posted these a couple of times on Gamesradar. I've drawn a couple more recently which I'll upload at some point.

A test Flash animation I made one time.

I like your drawing style, MHGMB.

It's not showing. Know why? The forum censor censored a word in the image link, making it unusable. That's kind of funny.

And I thought the swear filter was just one of the things done to make this place seem more like the old forum.
But makes sense to throw off those shackles I guess.

Enough with the words:

I really should use my tablet more.

Thanks.

Well, um... I put my stylus down on my tablet and moved it around.
Does that help?

But seriously? I did them in Photoshop with a custom brush. I began with a quick sketch, then painted in the colours on a layer beneath the sketch layer.
I'm not all too proud of them. I always forget to think ahead when I do these paintings. I forget to think about the composition, forget to think about colours and how to use them to complement each other,...

Really the best way to practice drawing is with a good old regular pencil. It's much easier to take that skill and apply it to Photoshop, Flash or Painter than it is to take tablet drawing and apply that to drawing with a pencil.
But regarding colour I can point you to this awesome tutorial:

I don't follow it myself nearly as much as I should.

Some good reading and viewing material from the creator of the Ren & Stimpy show:
John K's assorted blog posts on composition
This post in particular is very informative

Mwah!


And this is my attempt so far at making a car in Max



Not sure what's going on with the shade at the bottom/middle, but when I think it's done I'll mirror it to make the other side.

Oh well, more bumpage. Here's a screen of my first 3D submission this year for uni, meant to be a 3000 poly medieval building.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if you fellas from the illustrators club could help me out with something....

You may/may not know I have a site called ChocolateMission

For Easter 'Freak out Requiem IV' deisgned me the following banner to go in the top part of allmy reviews:



Unfortunately he is realllly busy at the moment and cant do me something similar for the upcoming Xmas period DOH!!

Can one of you guys help me out with this ...I am looking for something not to disimilar from that above - same size / font etc ... just with a bit of a Christmas theme!

Anyone think they could help me out with this???

Just a couple of things I've cobbled together with Paint.net.

They're quite large hence the spoiler boxes.






This one started as a stock photo of a tree snake.

not exactly a lot going on in it, but something i made earlier to create hype for the transit acid crew, we're playing hackney on the 22nd, gotta make some fuss about it n that y'know.

Just decided to have a shot at vector again. Better results than the first time I tried it but strawberry floating hell is it time consuming and fiddly, I didn't bother with the face (but I've got .PSD if I want to go back to it) and I didn't bother doing the fringe. Would take too long. Sorting out the layers was a bitch as well.



Bit crap, but I intend to add to it.

These are all so good! In a contrived gesture of 'me too', here are some trifles of mine.


Music logo using a program I wrote in C++ to break down and compress a 1 bit image into tiles.

Another, this time using experiments in cellular automata for the dissolve effect (reversed).

Plots of 'stars' trajectories in 2D space under each other's gravitational pull. I then experimented on the resulting plot in Photoshop.

A composite of 2 photos of the same scene (one high, one low). They were blended in Photoshop, then some filtering was applied to bring out the colours.

My brother's motocross team logo at one point.

An 'ad' for some uni project I did.

Some random 'movie' poster I knocked up to pull the collective leg of the Radarnation lot.

I used to be a semi-competent if uninspired drawing stuff guy. I picked up a pencil for the first time in years and drew a couple of quick pics. None of that dazzling mediocrity has left me it seems:

Esteban from the mysterious cities of gold:


Tetsuo:


I can't line up eyes right, for starters.

Still a helluva lot better than what I can do. I used to be ok/semi-good at drawing an' gooseberry fool. But then I just stopped it and don't have the concentration to do anything good anymore. If I try now I just get bored and resort to scribbles.

I've been painting:











Acrylics on canvas.
