Game Talk The Bunker

[quote=“detahramet, post:460, topic:441”]Because i cannot draw for shit, Ill just leave this hear as a request/interesting tidbit.

My character, named ZZ Top, who has survived to spring day 8 and still living, and is my longest surviving character to date, has recently set up his own little livelihood on an abandoned farm, immediately crashing his car after succeeding in raiding a gun store in a town far to the north. He crawled his battered ass back to this farm, after being repeatedly shot at by a shocker zombie, which was killed with a lucked shot from his heavily modified 9mm pistol, and being groped by two zombies quickly dispatched by his katana, he returned to the farm and set up shop. After sleeping off his nigh-fatal injuries like a bad hangover, he went through the field, planted new crops of strawberries, blueberries, wheat, and pot like any respectable farmed. Eventually he went onto to raid a lab only to find 3l jars and only 3l jars, after which he returned home, and set up the furnace in his bedroom. Looking outside he noticed a bear and descended to kill for the hell of it. He leaped out his window, through his barbed wire fence to no real effect, and beat the ever living fuck out of this bear. Only after killing the bear and butchering it did he realize that he forgot his katana on the woodpile and beat it to death with his fists. Because he bad to the bone.[/quote]

Hmm I ll get to it. (I dont promise anything)

In honor of ZZ top I am going to create a graveyard thread so people can list their previous characters.

466

That would be wise. We should probably also both edit our posts and put a spoiler over the memorial in retrospect.

467

Well the thread is up. So if any one would like to give there previous characters a proper resting place they can now.

Hey, I correctly guessed that the guy was wearing a vest!

Quite.

Finally drew something Cataclysm-y. Just two of my survivors, the guy in the peacoat and the pickelhaube from my other picture, now with a gas mask, and this albino bionics girl.

I still need a scanner. And to finish this.

Yeah, I felt Pickelhaube’s arms are a little long… And the way he’s holding the hammer looks a bit awkward. I’m still considering making a Cataclysm comic and I think I’ll make him suitably creepy… And mute. Definitely mute.

And oh my gods, those are adorable.

Edit: And Pickelhaube’s peacoat definitely doesn’t help. And is it just me or his hands a wee bit too small?

Take this with a bit of salt.

The important thing to keep in mind when drawing weapons (especially something as heavy as a sledgehammer) is that they have weight. A sledgehammer is massively unbalanced so when not in use the character would probably hold it near the pivot (below the head, see ref) and when it’s being swung they’d hold it closer to the middle (for control) or the end (for power).

If you’re going for a skinny look for your creep then drawing the shoulders the same width as his waist (as you’ve already done) will covey that feel despite the coat. As for the coat itself, google shows me that you may want to use about eight buttons (all above the waist) with the waistline close to the torso before allowing it to flare out slightly in a coat-like fashion.

As for the hands, the palm should generally 120-130% wider than the character’s forearm (though this can vary depending on your style). That elbow on the left is also slightly too long, when his arm is unbent it should reach the middle of his thigh.

Woah, thanks for all the info! I’m gonna give him another try in a bit and I’ll post my results sometime tomorrow. salutes Godspeed!

My elbows tuck into the squishy part of my sides just above my hips. Heh. But they don’t really do that when I draw myself.

…then again I use toon proportions. Welcome aboard NobodyPro!
