05/09/2003: UIR through the looking glass, Neo...

[jemstone]

I have ten free minutes at work (and I start the day shift monday... gah, going from going to sleep at 4am to getting up at 4am... joy!), and I'm starting the UIR for the 9th.

More from me later, but for now, this:

Re: Victorine of Fae... I knew it! I did! *giggles like a madman and goes back to work*

Have you ever had a dream Neo that you were so sure was real. What if you we not able to wake from that dream. How would you tell the dream world from the real world?

One week ohh yeah.
Majoring In Murder by joker21:
This sucker is huge, next time take a little concideration on how it will look when others see it. It not too bad, his eye brows look painted on try just recoloring them instead of paint. Also blurred a little too much.

The Daily Bugle: Hulk Rampage by localhero:
Nicely done

Amaz1ng Sp1der=man {tweaked} by Zortech Industrial:
Looks nice the blurrs sort of give it a in motion look.

Team Unjustified by Super Max:
Ok nice recolor, is this like a power ranger thing? The eyes kinda have a neat glow thing going on.

Weapon X by Jedi Knight Pas-Jo Dacle:
Pretty kool, I was thinking abot doing a making of weapon x manip, never thought of using the star wars scene with Luke in the tank( http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif probally gonna steal the idea from ya) The clawed are seems bit out of place doesnt blend in with the rest of the picture that well.

Victorine Of Fae by devilbunny:
Such a treat I think this is what four days give or take of basking in the glory of your work.

Title: Kev The Island Dawg by StatXero:
its a little on, nice job on the fur looks pretty good.

Yasmine As Diana by rayray2021:
3 hour manip marathon, I ve been know to do those, just pop in a few cd and just manip away. You should work on adding some shading on the gold, they look more like they are just added on than she is wareing them shading will help make it look like its worn than just added to the picture.

Bitter Past Of Wolverine by dark angel:
nice job

Lady Death Sketch by wizardefxr:
Very impressive, do you use a mouse? very nice work on the details.

Vampirella 3 by aharmona:
Very nice job the bottom of the boots could have been blended together a bit better though, but thats just nit picking there, over all great job.

Elektra Lives by Arnheim:
Nice, those are some hypnotizing eyes.

Clark Gable by cody:
It looks real good no complaints here.

Night Crawler by Facelessman:
Very nice NC but you have a lot of empty space, the crop option is your friend dont fear it.

Jubilee by huw:
Dont be too hard on your self your not that bad of a drawer. I ve seen muuuuch worse.
Not that bad of a concept idea befitting to the movie style but you forgot her trade mark sun glases.

Free Your Mind....

Amazing. I'm home an hour early. Woo for me.

UIR! UIR! *boogies on his roll-out dance pad*

Um, yeah, anyway...

Majoring in Murder by joker21:

What I can see of this looks like a decent concept. It's just too bloody big, though, to get a decent impression of it. What's it look like at a reasonable size? And you say you didn't alter the expression? Creeeepy.

The Daily Bugle: Hulk Rampage by localhero:

The fact that you put the bit in there about costumed heroes and John Q Public makes this piece even more fun. Rrrrah! Hulk Smash!

AMAZ1NG SP1DER=MaN {tweaked} by Zortech Industrial:

Interesting to look at the two side by side and see how they differ. I like this one a bit more than the last. The effects are a bit cleaner.

Team Unjustified by Super Max:

The art notes are a trifle confusing, old chap. What is it you're trying to do here? Decent recolor job, but what's it for?

Victorine of Fae by devilbunny:

Jenn, get out of my head. Seriously, knock next time or something. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif When I was in college, and Changeling had just come out, I ran a game in which the PC's ran into Manet's muse, Victorine, who happened to be an oddly mannered Fey. I figured, hey, my second favorite Storyteller game (Next to Mage) coupled with my favorite classical artist? How could I go wrong? I just knew that's where this piece was going when I saw it the first time. I love the vine work. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

Title: Kev the Island Dawg by StatXero:

Awwww. That's CUTE! I like it!

Yasmine as Diana by rayray2021:

You did that in a Microsoft product? I'm impressed! Good job, regardless of what you did it in. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

bitter past of wolverine by dark angel:

No art notes? Hrmph. Good snarl on Wolvie's face.

Lady death sketch by wizardefxr:

All done in Photoshop? I... I would hate you, but I'm too busy admiring your handiwork. That's REALLY a good piece, that is. It reminds me of Kubert or Frazetta, in many ways.

Vampirella 3 by aharmona:

Honestly, I like the reflection the most on this. It's really nifty. I have to wonder what Dita Von Teese would do as Vampi, rather than Aria Giovanni, you know? Dita being a bit fetish model and all, after all.

Elektra Lives by Arnheim:

The black looks a little washed out, but other than that, it's a good concept. Maybe throw a light source onto it to make it look like the sai is reflecting across her face?

Clark Gable by cody:

Now there's a casting I never would have imagined. I'm more of a Buster Crabbe fan, myself, but... Gable? Hm. Could do...

Night Crawler by Facelessman:

Heh. Cute. Blue. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

Jubilee by huw:

Dude, don't put yourself down. The only thing that I can see that's "wrong" with this is that her arms look a little short-limbed for her body. It might not be what some people would consider "top quality", but you've got a serious start, here, and I think it's a good piece of work. Keep it up. Practice practice practice. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

And that's it for me. I'm taking the red pill.

[rayray2021]

Thanks for the comments! I have tried doing shading, but sadly, I have not learned every secret to Microsoft PhotoDraw. It's a VAST program, and I JUST discovered I could make =W='s lasso glow! Everyone, Please disregard the Eliza Dushku pic that will be posted. It was very late, and I was a little hammered!

uir

majoring in murder: ugh. where to start. colors are sloppy, text is unintersting, backgroud is dead, blobby eyebrows, lips....i could go on and on.

the daily bugle: what no real text? nice series of pics, this is well rounded work.

amazing spiderman tweaked: not much of a change, i'd still like to see webbing. why go dark and blurry, why not light up the character a little?

team unjustified: the recoloring is alright. in a cartoon format i would think some of the darker colors would pop a little more. visible pixealtion on spykes leg, don't get me started on his hair and eyes.

weapon x: nice compilation of images. wolvie looks a little tubby, hopefully they'll do some lipo on him. i think this might make a better image for the arm in the glass (http://www.anotheruniverse.com/store/browse/sku.asp?x_sku=LTXMM)

victorine of fae: very victorian. amazing as always. nice change of pace.

kev the island dog: great fur. very funny.

yasmine as diana: just something to add to your images, maybe do a little flesh toucch up. meaning airbrush it out and smooth it. you can use a smudge tool of some-kind set to a low setting to get the smoother flesh look. your costuming is fine, the metal has too many lines to it. soften it up a little and i think it would turn out better.

bitter past: again my art skills are lacking so i find it hard to critique drawing and painting stuff. wolvies stance seems odd, try doing it in real life, not to comfortable. i really like logan's face.

lady death sketch: this is a sketch? geez! favorite pic of the day hands down winner, however you win nothing but my respect. wow, just wow.

vampirella: nice work. the flesh looks very nice, good cleaning up. hair is good, nice makeup job as well. no real complaints here.

elektra lives: wait a minute. your the same person that did that wonderful transgender quicksilver model, right? i know you can do better than this. this is just too cut and paste, sloppy edges, the bevel and emboss is ugly. sorry, but i know you have the skills to do better.

clark gable: nice job at blending, the pixelation works for you on this pic. the neck and body seem slightly off, but hardly noticeable at a glance.

nightcrawler: nice first work. your coloring doesnt flush up with your lines. take the time to fill it in next time.

jubilee: i agree with everyone else, this is good stuff here. i suck at drawing, hence why i don't do it. i like the colors alot, the shading and lighting work well together. i have no complaints other than maybe slim down the legs a little. still, very nice work.

time for a wee uir...

The Daily Bugle: Hulk Rampage - localhero: mine.. Ok.. I admit.. Laziness took control as far as the article went, but I think I covered the main points rather well.. Anyone want to offer me a job?

Weapon X - Jedi Knight Pas-Jo Dacle:
Nicely put together work man. The concept is pretty good, my only worry is if they have removed Wolvie's arm like this.. A:Would he grow a new one? B: given that his claws are natural, shouldn’t there be some sort of indication of that?. C: if they hae alreay adamantiumed the claws, shouldnt the arm bones be the same? Ok.. i admit it.. I am being picky.. I do like this concept...

Victorine of Fae - devilbunny: Consistently good work. Drawing is top notch and the coloring only adds to the piece. Do you draw these on paper first, then scan and color? If so have you tried using a tablet to draw straight onto the pc? Would be really interested in how that turned out. Keep up the great work.

Title: Kev the Island Dawg - StatXero: LOL.. Down boy… nicely done as always

Lady death sketch - wizardefxr: These drawings you are adding recently are very nice.. Have you done any colored versions of these? Given your previous maniping, I think you should be able to give us some great colored pics based on your drawings.

Vampirella 3 - aharmona: Great maniping as always but I have a few reservations: the boots (as mentioned already) need more work. They look flat despite the shading. The shadow on the body from the costume - it looks too regular. Given the pose, I would have thought the costume would be tight aganst the body all the way up to mid torso(small shadow) stretched away from the body over the bosom ( larger shadows). The metal arm band looks flat, it doesnt seem to extend around the arm. I don't thin k this is your best work, but it is definitely above average http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif

Jubilee - huw: Hey Dude - don't put yourself down! Ok, your hands are a little off, and the raised leg is a bit weird, but the concept and general proportions are well done. The coloring works well. I would suggest you look at the CGTalk.com link dcperciful posted in the Hints'n'Tips thread for a better way to show off Jubilee's powers.
