[quote=âJohn Candlebury, post:620, topic:441â]It looks well imho but if I really try to criticize stuff I could tell you that goat? legs donât look much like that and the strange stuff in the left when the âfrontâ joins the background.
Other than that, the faceplate of the helm looks very good[/quote]
Thanks for critizicing! Yeah, maybe i need to start seeing pictures or some things. It is a Faun. Or a goat guy. The legs are, in fact, supposed to be thinner at the âfeet zoneâ. It is, ideed, complicated. The background, and the grassy rock, were the parts that i did not wanted to draw, and it looks like it looked bad just because of Lazy Artist that does not want to draw bgs. 
Also⌠Holy⌠that thing⌠fungaloids⌠what??? D:
Ever wondered why your character were paralyzed at the sight of amigara horrors?
Now I know the reason
And now I have to go draw some cute things

Dâawww, wee horrors
As for the faun character, I think the colour and detailwork is strong, but the underlying anatomical structure needs more practice.
That will help you to give shape to the torso and shoulders, as well as address with the goat leg where the âheelâ seems to meld right into the lower leg without much structure being visible. Those areas of anatomy I think need a bit of work in this pic. Keep a close eye on torso length versus leg length, and overall length/height of the body - the legs seem a little short for the rest of the body, though this might just be due to the shape of the leg and not their actual length. (Sometimes itâs hard to spot the detail that needs tweaking. Donât get discouraged!) Arm length is in that sweet spot I think. Nice pose.
There are tutorials on the web (DA is a surprisingly good source for simple little tutorials on things like dragon wings and goat legs!) that can help with this. Strong understanding of your characterâs âskeletonâ will aid fantastically in how far you can push poses in the future
Great work, nice going with the non-lineart style (sharp detail versus soft fuzzy colours - I think you should practice this sharp versus soft, as you could really create some strong sense of deep atmosphere with your landscapes with this - try looking up âJohn Avon landsâ to see some crazy atmosphere play!), and I like your willingness to flesh out the picture in full colour with environment/background/light sources.

Cordyceps approach on fungal infected ants.
Itâs not just in the last of us.

IndeedâŚ
drawing of a CZ style pistol⌠lower quality due to not having a scanner⌠please excuse my webcam
Maybe Iâll do another drawing with a reference, this was done from memory during class.
Iâm surprised you didnât get caught.
College is nothing like highschool x_x with ~50+ people, the professor doesnât care, and I took the picture after class.
During highschool, I was sent to detention more times that I care about for drawing.
Haha you got into the detention for drawing where you studied?
That is some harsh punishment, I mean how is it different from just not paying attention at all the profesor does like the other students in the room do

I might pay more attention when the teacher does something other than teach straight from the book. Itâs like wasting a thousand bucks to have someone read to you from a $200 bookâŚ

I just remembered when this thread started, and those without talent werenât intimidated from posting a funny.
Seriously, as much as I love the sweet quality art too, some of the early ragecomics-esque stuff was DAMN FUNNY. I enjoy good situational humour. HAVE AT!
Iâm trying to pencil up a sort of character reference pic of my cata self - like the drunk one I did, but⌠sober. And with a pencil tool instead. And way more hours invested. I think Iâm overworking the pic, bleh. I overwork pieces too easily.
EDIT:
Whuslap. There are errors all over the place that Iâm mostly aware of because Iâve made them a few times. Anatomical things, foreshortening things. Overall though⌠dear god Iâd forgotten how tediously slow I found digitally-emulated 4H pencils. From now on the pencilwork is gonna be on real paper, or for undersketch business before I lay down the ink. Until I have the time or commitment to train myself into a better work process, Iâm sticking to inkstuffs so I can at least see a picture through from beginning to end.

Dâawwwwww look at those little fish antlers.
More fungal stuff
A fungal boomer
Pure Fungaloids (that I am not completely happy with, actually has someone here any idea of how a fungaloid should look like?)

OMG I like that fungal boomer. Super spooky.
Bubbadoo: Now imagine tiny Hoss with a butcherâs knife
(Donât worry, he just likes cooking.)
These monster drawings are so cool I want to implement monster portrait display into the tiles version somehow. =3
Iâd avoid the toadstools myself - the fungaloids move about and sort of poof out their spores, and toadstools (agaric spore carriers) really donât fit. There are plenty of non-toadstool designs to pick from, and most are more appropriate. (click to enlarge)
But even more appropriate might be pulling from the fungal families the in-game fungus is based on. Think Asocarps more than Toadstools.
Or even pull from some not quite fungal fruiting bodies
Also - Fungaloids have tentacles they use for moving around and slapping things! This is how Iâve always seen the fungal towers, with these tentacles ringing the top (but giant, obviously):
Ultimately, what they really look like is open to interpretation and is probably a good deal more alien than any of the individual organisms above, but hopefully this will give you some awesome ideas.

Whoah that is some good reference! Thank you!
Probably going to mix a lot of them and see what comes out
Posted an expanded version of that post in itâs own thread, since itâs a common question.
MS Paint on a windows 8 computer? Preposterous!
YeahâŚ
Hand drawing with photos taken with a webcam because I want to be rubbish on the internet.
