coolness! I like your recent linework, very neat ... !
i'd say about the arms, yeah they're a bit awkward, her left hand (our right) is looking thoroughly broken ... try holding it like that and you'll see what I mean. and I think her other arm could do with some muscles, she's looking pretty thick overall so it seems likely she'd have some. but yeah, lookin' pretty cool, liking her face!

The pose I think is coming off pretty docile, the character is cool though. BUT, if you could relay the request/specifics it'd really help with any feedback since this is a commission.

Not sure a bg is totally helping the piece out, this an image for their logo? I think something more along the lines of a bomber-girl'esque photos of just the chick and her accessories, with some banner/verbiage would suit this great.

Google Andrew Bawidamann, not saying yours has to be as cheese-cakey, but I think it gets the idea across, helps hone it in for multiple use, stickers, shirts, etc.

well, i havent touched this in a bit. but im getting back into it so i can get it to him. his battalion is super fuckin stoked to see it.. and i feel bad making them wait, since theyre over there risking their lives in afghanistan.

thanks for the feedback guys, i decided to just redraw her completely. she just looked retarded.

igo, ill definately check that out.

heres what i got so far.

Played around with this a little. It's comin' along pretty well. Tweaks: Took the mountain on the left down a little, sized her up, brought her left arm in (I don't think it needs to be seen as it is to come across, it looks forced) but now that I look at it, it should have come in and up. The bat wings just an idea, is that what you meant having a little more on top? Hope this helps.

How are you planning on finishing this? Style I mean.

Im with D, but I still believe all the bg and tiny person action isnt helping.

Worked from D's, scaled her up, tweaked the scythe so its still int he skulls mouth (awesome touch) and made her gun overlap the banner (along with the top of the scythe) to break it up a bit.

I think a focus on her torso area is key to making this pop a bit more, getting the full figure is just taking away some good potential impact.

fuck yeah guys! i love the wings, i think thats a perfect addition. and her arm looks alot less broken now. i couldnt find a way to do that, but you did. haha. as for the style im gonna finish it in, i was thinking something like that headless dude i did a while back, but not as colorful. since its going to be for a shirt. i might just do it in black and white.

Image

and igo, the dudes want a specific background. mountains, with a village at the foot. and shes walking on a road made of bones and shit leading to the village. like she just fucked them all. so i kinda have to keep some BG in there.

thanks for the love guys.

The reaper chick for the shirt design is looking killer, excited to see how you finish it up.

On to the sexy pin-up tattoo chick, I see a few issue. Mostly just anatomy and proportion.
First off the bottom half is not matching up to the top half. A quick fix would be just lassoing the bottom half and just making it bigger. But the main problems I see are the hips, and butt being way smaller than the upper body and the legs looking to short.

Plus especially if it's meant to be a sexy pinup you want to exaggerate her long slender legs and the delicate curves of her body, kinda like the t-shirt chick you have.

Hahaha drunken crits... i feel like this should be a thing.

Big improvements with the edits. However i think there's still something off with the pose. The relationship the shoulders, torso and hips have at the moment make her look like she's going to topple over under the rifle's weight. Same goes for the arm in chill-out position.

Quickfix would be to shift the gun so its resting over both her shoulders/back of neck. Otherwise some reposing is in order.

Boss work though dude, always look forward to seeing what new form of babe you'll be posting next! If you haven't already, check out Andrew Bawidamann's work. Guy does some crazy cool cheesecake style girls.

gahahaha joe, i didnt trash the other one, im in the middle of coloring the whole thing. and i keep switching between like 4 pieces, so its just going slow. these both are for the same guy. the first one is for a shirt, and the new one is for a tattoo. trying to shape it so it takes up most of his inner forearm. thats why im trying to go with such a stretched out design.. i think ima have to repose her, cause im liking the position of the rifle. it seems like it just wouldnt flow if it was at a different angle, but ill try.

thanks for the help dudes. i really appreciate it.

really nice looking now, might want to put smoke coming off the hole in the skulls head instead of from the gun in the girls hand, cause she doesnt look like she was just firing it, shes all somber walking away and shit. nice update!

FUCK, totally missed the updates on this man.

New design is way better, that's what Im talking about, elss is more, but the newly rendered old design is cool too, I get it, I just prefer the new direction.

Awesome shit man, keep drawlign them ladies! Never hurts to look at too much reference, NAW MEEN!?! *hint*hint* :winkbf: :twistedbf: :winkbf:

And drunk crits are the best. Man I wish I kept track of more of those, thanks JOE!

Doing some skateboard designs for a local company that does laser engraved decks. he asked me to do a series of apocalypse/end of the world styled pieces. we both agreed that the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse would be perfect. finished pieces will be just cleanly inked in all black with hatching and some halftones. also will be more tightly cropped when put on the decks. here are sketches for the first 2.

ImageImage

the next 2 will have a different layout to kinda break things up a bit. let me know what you guys think.

These are very cool, love the elements to each figure. I think overall the horses themselves need some beefing up. The scale of the character to the horse has each rider looking a little large, or the horse small. But love the look still.
