VaultDweller (Wallpaper)

[Koi]

Blah. Took about month to finish it. Being lazy, eh. Let's say about ~10 hours or so.

Oh, well. It ended up as a wallpaper, so I desiced to link it here also. Maybe some of you F-fans would enjoy fan-art about this exotic girl with a Vault suit. It's my own fallout-character, with a spunky attitude. (robbing some graves, whoring around and just shooting lots of DeathClaws) :>

Made with wacom tablet, photoshop cs/painter8.

You show some pretty good talent. The shading is decent but could use some work...it is still good though! (overall and the shading isnt bad, just could use some work, I don't want you to think I'm saying your shading sucks because it doesnt, the background looks great)

 

[SuAside]

looks nice

but her right hand is bothering me. no one would ever hold a MP5 Kurz like that (not even for show, as it would be damn annoying to grab it like that lol)

Looks pretty impressive Colouring is great.

Suaside´s right tho, it would be tricky to hold an SMG weighing several kilograms like that.

You're right. I didn't thought about that... And her boobs look funny too.

But anyway, thanks for the feedback.

next time just bend the thumb, bring up the other fingers (the top finger should be just under the triggerguard) and let it rest on the entire hand, not just the tip of the thumb.

Okay, where was that boiling bleach again?

 

[[MoD]]

what happend to her breast?
they look line two small water ballons attached to her vault suit


but it's only a detail (just like that gun in her hand)

The background is nice, very nice.

The girl, on the other hand, sucks.

 

[Wooz]

I gather the background is a heavily photoshopped photo, with a few filters applied, and then drawn a bit on it.

 

[hakkapeliitta]

I like it but the colour of her hair isn't good.

 

[IvanJarvis]

The colors are too bright for me, and the anatomy could use some work, but I really like the rendering, but overall, not bad...

 

[Wooz]

I think it's ugly. Cliche as hell and unimaginative, on top of being drawn crappily.
Oh yeah. A super bondage gun girl fits the FO setting as much as a singing purple dinosaur.

Hence the boiling bleach comment, used by Rosh on another thread at that date.

Doesn't it?

So...?
You make it sound like that's not allowed.. You mean I should draw everything by myself? What a rule is that? I think I can use what ever as backgroung, photographs also.

Hohoho. And you would have drawn something more FO-style? Whose the one being unimagitive. Gotcha!

It's "unfitting" on purpose. You see, that's my style to draw. Bright colors, childish characters, etc. (yes, I'm a girl...) (http://koti.mbnet.fi/eltsi/karppi/portfolio <- there's more) I could never do something gloomy or more Fallout. You don't have to like it, but could you describe more precisely how it's drawn crappily? I know the balloon-breast- and gun-mistakes, but otherwise?

Really? How so? I mentioned what I thought it was, in reply to Alec's post, without even commenting it.

I hate it when people justify a crappy piece of art with "style". Comforming to anatomical and lighting mistakes and accepting them as style doesn't really take you far if you take drawing seriously. See, petting one's ego and one's achievements is probably the last thing to do when you're learning how to draw, as you stand in one place without making any kind of progress, which eventually leads you to drawing the same thing over and over with minor differences, never making anything new nor original.

yes, I'm a girl...

Sorry, but that doesn't mean you get any kind of special treatment in my book, or around these parts. Especially when it comes to commenting your artwork.

Furthermore, the fact you're a girl hardly explains your choice of colors and characters. I know girls from my art academy that draw as if they were carving with a knife, and a particular specimen once tried to crucify mice as an installation project.

You don't have to like it, but could you describe more precisely how it's drawn crappily?

Anatomy:

- Anatomical relations between the arms and the torso
- Lack of consistent construction or "modelling" of the body

Lighting:

- Completely surrealist shadowing
- Lack of high contrasts, which would occur in such a bright scene (HINT: Your penguin drawing, on the other hand is nicely contrasted, especially in the lower part of the Tommy Gun's drum)
- The character isn't one with the background, its lack of modelling, proper depth by shading and position in regard of the background makes it look like a sticker.

I could never do something gloomy or more Fallout

Um. Fallout is gloomy in its genre, as is post apoc in general... Why would you do a Fallout wallpaper for a month, at the same time not making it "fallouty" on purpose?

Did I mention art academies are evil?
