Right, so I pulled out of the previous GFX round due to not being able to finish on time. Since then I've been working on the image on-and-off and now it's finished only about a week late.
The picture shown below is half the size, the fullsize one can be found by clicking on the picture.
The full resolution pic (1280xs1024) is low quality...the high quality version is 1.1Mb and doesn't fit on photobucket xD Lame. Except I feel justified with the size...this was hand-drawn from start to finish.
I should have tidied up the sketchlines more, but wasn't actually intending to spend this much effort on it. Meh.
Refresh your browser people, the image at the top has been slightly corrected. That is to say, I couldn't stand the horribly warped perspective of Crimson's head any longer. The ears weren't in line with the eyes, which weren't in line with the nose, which wasn't in line with the cheeks... needless to say it was looking too cubist so I fixed it lol. Also added detail on the shades, the corset, the thong and the sash. It's gonna be a while before I finish the jacket, leathers and boots, oh god the boots!
Because I'm taking my sweet time on this piece, I get to look into a whole bunch of features of the brushes at my disposal in SAI. I'm quite pleased with how the denim is turning out:
Not sure what I'll do when it comes to the leather though. I guess I'll just go for shiiiiiny!
I will do a background next. Then go back and add the appropriate shadows to Crimson once I figure out exactly where the lighting source is. And then I'll put the reflections on the gear.
It was high time I updated Strop's sheet. Not that it has actually changed, but my software has and all my previous pics were really grainy and stuff. Also daleks requested a pic of Strop standing without his bow in his hands.
Other things that have changed include my weight (it seems I've gained 6kg over the past 3 years), my age (which I am still not telling you), and my occupation.
Thanks again Strop. And I am sure that Stroppy McHorseguy is not an alias. Just think how awesome it would be to go to the doctor's and say, "Hello. I am here to see Dr. Stroppy McHorseguy."
So, like, it's been too long since the usual programming was on.
So, like, here you go again. I don't have much time so we'll have to make do with a really crap sketch but that oughtta do it for a while.
For the record I wouldn't reasonably wish for these proportions on a female. They're unrealistic and boobs that size are actually bad for one's health. And if you're about to make a comment about "why is there a horse's head on...", you must be new here. Then again, that kind of comment is about par for the course, so carry on!
