Not that weird, actually, provided, that I spent a good 4 years strictly developing my own style. It is a direct reflection of the way I perceive the world and I actually have loads of fun while using it. I don't feel the other style, I'm unfamiliar with it and it takes me too much time to look at a drawing objectively. And most importantly - I'm not having fun with it. And sucking a bit less every day is better applied to something I'm good at, methinks.

And I've done a lot life drawing, but it only improves my normal way of drawing.
 
Nah, man. Don't give up on trying new stuff. I'm sure you can work on it and refine it into something you like.

Srsly, you shouldn't post in fan art anymore. It's like John Kricfalusi talking about how the Iron Giant's animation is boring. Sure, maybe he has a point if you're as anal as John K., but no one else on earth cares. (Hopefully there exists someone else who gets this metaphor...)

*sigh*

it's funny really... when people whine about what they personally think about the style, the color panel, the grit, it's all bloody fine.
but when i give comments about weapons or pointers on how to make them better, the whineyfest breaks loose.

yes, guns do not need to be tailored to my tastes. that's a given. and i never said that, i just give an opinion. the artist can do with it as he likes. but when people whine about the colors, the style, it's all also about either their personal taste or the technical aspect. both are exactly the same as the guns issue, yet no one whines about that, now do they?

in the end, what the artist does with it is his own choice and unless the artist says "fuck off, i'm not interested" i'm not going to stop posting pointers about weapons (and other things where necessary, but guns just happens to be something i know a few things about whereas i'm a total dumbass at drawing or art in general). i'm just trying to contribute where i can, that's all.

patriot_41, i'm glad to hear you find it somewhat useful at times. :)
keep it up with the awesome art!

NO ONE EVER UNDERSTANDS IT WHEN I TALK ABOUT JOHN KRICFALUSI

I was making a comparison between you and an absolutely fantastic animator; as the both of you are well versed in your respective fields, you are both quite astute at picking up mistakes, ones which genuinely exist but the majority of people do not understand. There's nothing wrong with noticing mistakes, it's just that you might note that these mistakes or flaws or whatever may not matter at all to the general public.

That's the point. I don't like it. I don't feel it. I'm doing it against myself, and it's always a lot of time wasted on some crappy thing I wouldn't like even if it had no mistakes. I'm just annoyed, that it doesn't work as good as it should, but I'd be annoyed even if it did work well. It's just pointless persistence. If it hadn't been fallout themed I wouldn't have even bothered to show it. I kinda regret that I did.

offtopic: LOG!

ontopic: If a professional in the field decides to hire you, those little mistakes will matter. They may be the difference between you and some unresourceful schlomo getting the job you wanted.

And again offtopic: I saw the Powerpuff Girls the other day. I still cannot understand what's so awesome about their Color Scheme, that John K. keeps raving about . . .

My uneducated guess would be that John K. is a filthy pedo and "color scheme" is some twisted euphemism for luscious pre-teen bodies. I bet the fucker also loves the "color scheme" in Kids Next Door.

Aahahaha, I hope you're wrong. But if you've seen a picture of him you'd know that it's not that unlikely . . .
 
I'm running slow lately, got shit to do and all, but one of Per's remarks on a Vatted thread about a guy wanting to use trainers with FO2 just killed me. So here it is:

What your character goes through is how you play the game. They're the same thing. It's a journey of discovery. If the Chosen One stands around in the desert shouting "I CAN HAS CLUEZ AND INFINIET CAPS" then that is also a discovery.

Great as usual!



But... It's probably just the pop-culture nerd talking, but usually in shots like this there'd be someone reacting with wtf-eyes and a question mark over their head (even if 'someone' is just wildlife). It seems sorta weird to me without it.

Not that deviating from the norm is a bad thing! (Please don't hurt me)
 
In your style, I think think of three worthwhile scenarios

1. Rescuing Crissy near Vault 15

2. The Chosen One meeting with the mayor of Modoc and discussing the dying town; or alternately finding the "corpses" at the Ghost Farm (or seeing the cellar area near V'Ger for the first time)

3. The party arriving at the glow and wondering "What the hell happened here?"

I also fondly remember picking up that SMG from dead farmers just after leaving Arroyo.
 
I have more FO rq than I could handle now, I have the lines for some of them. Before I get to finish them tho, I want to show you guys something. While we were discussing (or maybe you were discussing and I was just lurking) the possibility of a Fallout TV show I thought it could probably work as an animation. At that time I had to help out with some animation and in-between work I doodled up this, just to see what it'd be like. It's just a sketch, but still . . .
