So I have this charmander illustration. I don't know how I feel about fire, and I will be working more on the moon.
Any comments anyone? The end purpose of this is for a fake card as a present.

I think the fire on his tail reaches too high, it would look better cut in half, or maybe 2/3. Other than that, I really like it. ;D

HMC: I quite like that :D
xhunterko: I don't find it too bad.
Opacus: I find the abrupt change in the size of the thickness if the brush quite strange (especially on the doves' wings), but I also think you should make a bit more use of the different brushes (eg the ones you used for the black shapes around the skull) at your disposition (maybe for shading the doves and skull?). I don't know if it'll work, but I'd give it a try ;)
Ryumaru: I find his head lacks a little volume (and where's his mouth ;_;) and the flame a little too dramatic. I'm not too sure about the red rock on the right, it reminds me of cloth (with folds).
Other than that, technique and colour are very pleasant! My favourite bit is definitely the arm on the right.

A SW doodle.

Thanks chris!

I just made this today. I think I finally squeaked out a level theme. Check it out.

Hmm, I don't exactly know if this counts as "OT" creative work, but I entered some pixel art I had done into a public art competition through my city and I was selected as a finalist! There's pixel art on a public transit bus in my city now.








So for real OT work, here's a folding poster/brochure knowledge map that I did for an imaging course last semester.


I totally saw that driving around town, and I was like "woah, is that pixel art? On a bus?!  Didn't I see that somewhere on Pixelation?"

Me again, back for more punishment. Cool stuff everyone!

Thanks for the tip opacus. My main online database had some hiccups last night and I was looking for alternatives. About four tracks there. I just hope I didn't make them all sound alike.

Any CnC anybody?

fiddling around with zbrush again..  I may try to fully render this one.  It started off as a simple sphere because I'm too damn lazy to make a base model.

Nice biomechanical dogazoid, indigo. Could you now do some detailing out of symmetry mode to break up the mirrored look? Using non-mirrored textures would probably do fine.

thanks mathias.  I definitely plan to break up the symmetry if I take it further, but for now I started up on something new.  I took the low-poly gluggernaut model I was working on in the low-spec forum and used it as a base mesh for zbrush.  Its still a WIP, but this is what i've got so far..
