Out of Gas Mal - SMALL

Saturday, May 12, 2007

OK so I fixed the size on this. I didn't realize it was soooo massive....anyway same commentary cut and pasted from the massive version: Wow, it has been a super long time since I have posted anything! I have been really busy with my classes and stuck in a creative funk which pretty much sucks. I have decided to try to teach myself how to draw - I'm using the middle school art class tactic of square-by-square which is a sort of cross between freehand and copying. At least thats how I see it. Anywho, this is my first attempt - the mouth is a little weird, the eyes aren't exactly the way I thought they should be and my scanner didn't pick up all the nuances of the shading but, eh, what can ya do? Not too shabby for a first go of it. Comments are like candy. I can never get enough!

For a first try this is wonderful. Your shading is lovely.
As to the eyes, I think the one on the left side of the page might be just a little to far away from his nose

Very nice. The hair and the nose capture him well.

Hm, now that I look at it, I think that if the line of the nose came up straighter the eyes would look a little better....and I am proud of that hair - :D

Thanks for the lovely comments!

River - Bushwhacked (Blue)
Second version with similar uncreative title. Comments are great, as always.

River - Bushwhacked (Red)
Very uncreative title, I know. I kinda struggled with what to do with this one...I started with the background but it needed something more - I came up with two versions, the second of which will be posted shortly. Anyway, comments are awesome and I always love hearing what everyone thinks! =D

Melted III
Third and final color scheme. No text version available upon request.

Second color scheme. No text version available upon request.

So, I have been having kind of a rough day (don't worry, I won't prattle on about the details, suffice to say a close friend is in the hospital) and as always, photoshop becomes my therapy to get my mind off of things for a little while- I had about three different color schemes for this and I think this is probably the best. If anyone would like for me to post the other two different color schemes, just ask and no-text version is available upon request.

Broken - No Text
For anyone who likes no text better. :)

Ok so the text I came up with myself and boy was it tricky. I wrote two verses and I wasn't happy with the lines but then just as a goof thought I alternated first and second verse lines and I think its rather schnazzy now. Overall, I am very very pleased with how this turned out, especially with the images of Inara - The image of Mal gave me one hell of a time, but I think it turned out ok. No text version can be posted if desired, just let me know. Anyway, comments are always awesome.
