Title: [WIP]Metal dude
Post by: am_pm on December 13, 2006, 08:44:22 pm

I tried to draw a sketch of a comical person who might listen to metal.

C&C totally welcome, as I do need to work on my skillz. I know the head looks weird,  and the shading is off. But that is all I can catch by myself.

Back where I come from, heavy metal people wear tight jeans, army boots or sneakers, sleeveless usually t-shirts (this is metal, not a fuckin' christmas party!), leather or denim jackets with sew-on logos, a paraphenelia of studs, wristbands, rings, bulletbelts, whatnot. What you've drawn is a suburban 10 year old with shoulderlength hair looking on the floor.

oh no! dreaded florida jogging metal outfit variation! Well, I'm not a fan (of the getups, not the bands. Well, not the bands either, I prefer my death metal in the vein of Demilich, Dismember, Torchure or Asphyx) but still, you can do better than what you have, go for a full anatomy, give him camo kneelength pants, a chain, a proper black shirt (do you see any gray generic hoodies in those pictures?) and a menacing pose! Invisible Oranges!!

His feet kinda look spread-eagled, but thank god you did that little anatomy fix, he looked like he was leaning over, and badly, if bad leaning over is possible.
