Draw Your Cataclysms

Kyriolexical_Dino · 2014-12-01T00:08:26.000Z

thanks for the complements guys.
And in relation to the zweihander, It works quite well with my build since I use ninjutsu and with the special attack it deals 140-160 dmg each hit. Heck all I think I can’t kill in melee are turrets and the chicken walkers since my armour isn’t strong enough.

Gee, I wonder what’s in the eye pouch. Couldn’t possibly be a ton of psychotropic drugs, huh?
Oh, wait. It’s an artifact. DERP.

Just awesome! Woah!

Kyriolexical_Dino · 2014-12-01T01:57:07.000Z

Thanks man. You should draw a little more too when you can, your style’s pretty cute and interresting.

StopSignal · 2014-12-01T02:52:28.000Z

Thanks! I’ll try.

OKAY SO WHO GAVE JAKERS STEROIDS.

But yeah, slowly (but surely) getting out of the shit-tier standard I think, woo!

Valpo · 2014-12-02T19:19:07.000Z

Your getting better. Keep at it (y)

StopSignal · 2014-12-02T19:49:34.000Z

This is looking good!

Kyriolexical_Dino · 2014-12-02T20:06:29.000Z

You’re getting better exponentialy by each post, nice work!
I specially like this purple tuxedo you’ve drawn, the shading is very well done. One point I think you could improve slightly more would be the hands though, but that’s to be expected, If I randomly switched to a drawing tablet Id be just as rusty. It’s good to know you learn fast though.

I still basically have to draw all the bones in to make hands make any sense. All my undersketching for semi-realistic stuff has a sort of muscle/skeleton hybrid shape to it though. Hands. HANDS.

Hands and feet are hardmode, so many small bones. They always come to look good in time, though.

I too am enjoying your progress, Jakers

Jakers · 2014-12-02T20:17:18.000Z

I HATE HANDS TOO. NEVER LIKE THOSE FINGERED HORRORS. And thanks guys!

I shall evolve over time, but my next project is probably gonna be some woodland girl makin’ traps an shiieeeettt

ALSO just scrolled up to see that badass drawing of a dude with a zweihander; zweihanders really are the best.

What 80% of my characters becomes after a few months in the cataclysm:

As in, they all turn out to the same shoppingcart knights.
All the carts ends up with the name “Chopper”…

Kyriolexical_Dino · 2014-12-02T22:50:44.000Z

Nicely done, what program did you use for this though?

HS1342 · 2014-12-02T23:07:38.000Z

If you mean my black and white drawing, I made it in the quite uncomfortable software known as “GIMP 2”.
It’s free, and better than paint. But by the gods, it’s crude.

Kyriolexical_Dino · 2014-12-02T23:15:07.000Z

There’s another version of GIMP? I thought it only had one. still better than shelling 1k for photoshop.

Didn’t you hear? Photoshop’s monthly now XD like 50 a month or something

Pthalocy · 2014-12-03T00:06:41.000Z

yeah. I thiiiiink there’s still non-monthy single-license versions one can buy, but for students going through art school, paying for photoshop for only as long as you’re in school is really nice. Alternatively, it works fantastically when you’re in a position to claim photoshop payments as part of your business expenses. I get the feeling the pay-to-play versions are geared more to these scenarios.

It’s still really weird to me, though.

HS1342 · 2014-12-03T00:12:00.000Z

Anyway, it’s been a while since I made an honest effort in making a cataclysmic drawing, last one being my avatar to the left here.
Could someone perhaps say if the black and white was any good? I was thinking about giving it some color, but I just weren’t sure
(And coloring in GIMP is, like the rest, crude).

Hands, my sworn enemy.

ONWARDS.

Okay, so it’s not CATA related so much as topic-related. I couldn’t find the tutorial I was looking for, perhaps due to my connection behaving oddly when performing image searches, so I figured why the hell not? I’ll draw some damn hands myself. I do not expect this tutorial to explain everything, barring the question “Do you draw any hands besides your own, Ed?”

No, no I do not.
They are attached to my body and conveniently always available for my referencing while drawing.
