Given to Fly

been working on it all night. I need to know wether or not to work on the water, and the sun beams, something ive never done before.

Please, comments and suggestions!!!! :blink:

maybe more lines on the water :( :( :( how the hell do you draw so good <_<

hehe, i dunno really. never taken a real drawing class, and school art classes dont count, because i dont learn in those classes.

yeah, i really should darken the lines on the water, thanks.

any thoughts on the sun beams?

You made that in photoshop?

Sun beams looks alright, they need some lines in them tho, kinda look fake know what i mean? The water is great just darken up the lines. Good work mate&#33;

yup, all photoshop.

ill be working on that water asap&#33;

and the sunbeams, ill try it out, was going for a kind of vectorish look to them, but i see your point.

Well i saw you were going for vector but... it dosent match with the whole coloring theme. Know what i mean?

Is this a collab? Because it&#39;s for OC4 right? Anyways, i like the sunbeams just how they are, but i think that maybe you should clean up the lines. Go over them in PS to just make them darker. And do you draw this stuff and scan it in or draw it ON PS with a tablet or something?

not a collab, never done one really.

its a scan in, then i do a bit of cleaning in ps. i used to have a tablet, but it broke some how and i cant fix it.

so i guess i lied when i said all ps, sry -_-

and yeah, ill start making the sun-beams fit in a little.

you could make them red like the japanese kamikaze flag

lol jk ;)

it looks rele good, when you pm&#39;ed me i couldnt exactly tell what it was but its clearer now that youve done more (either that or i didnt look properly in the pm)

Somebody deleted my post i think :blink: anyways, i basically said to clean up the lines so they don&#39;t look drawn. Trace over them in PS with one solid line.

i dont like vector graphics..

it doesnt look nearl as good with perfect lines.

its kind of like.... grunge colouring, if ya know what i mean.

and i was making a sig a while back that was the japanese flag with the sun and all, but i scrapped it because it was too boring.

and dick, cant you have made a suggestion on how to improve it, what you think of it, instead of stating your opinion on vectors?

No&#33;&#33; Please keep the drawing lines, i think it looks great like that.

thats what i meant, but i guess it didnt come out that way -_-

Oh ok, then leave it as is.

I agree..Keep the drawing lines, they add that "sketchy" feel to it.

wait a sec....tahts teh tower from your other drawing you know the body of the thing...lmao...the one with all that other stuff for the other contest...aww wuht was that called...uhhh....eh wuhteva

Yea i noticed that as well. Same tower, some rocks, and wings. O_o

i love drawing the tower. this is just a darker picture for a darker subject.

Lol, I didn&#39;t know that the blue thing was a tower :lol: .

I thought it was an arrow, but w/e.



I like it, I&#39;d pay more detail into the water though, everything else looks good.

I love the coloring also, it all blends in well with each other like the ink was soaked into water or something :mellow: .

Nice effect, although I wouldn&#39;t know if that was done intentionally (lol).

:) i played with the inking effect for a while on the first one. this time i didnt do any cleaning up, to make it look dirtier and darker. and it wasnt intentional, but i have been doing wet on wet water colouring in school (wet paper, with water colour).

and i dont really know WHAT it is, just that i call it a tower :)

i love the pic, the only thing is i dont theink it displays the concept, murder if anythign it only displays suicide

bloody hell, i totaly forgot about the murder part.

crap.

lol thanks man.

rofl, just thought id remind you, remember the concept is murder, the phrase after is just to help you get on your way

bah, so this is just gunna be another pic then...

ill get goin on a new entry -_-.
