Description This was for a water locust thread on the gears forums.
Based off of the original locust drone with some tweaks and added limbs. He is suppose to be able to swim and hop pretty high. His arms on his back can curl over his shoulders and go in between his regular arm and body, too keep them safe when swimming. I got him wearing the original drone outfit, cause I was originally drawing the regular locust.

I didnt want to color the whole thing because this was suppose to be just a sketch, but being so bored, I started coloring the face. I'm Pretty new to photoshop, so if my coloring sucks, then you know why . I wanted to give it a more darker color, compared to the white skin of the drones. Didnt do much with the eyes, I thought they look pretty cool the way they are. The head to the right is a masked version, like some of the regular drones wear masks, With some different stuff while trying to keep the same theme.

LOL. I do use a mouse.
It takes forever with one, but I use what I got.
I'm just using photoshop. I haven't tried any other programs, so I guess your on your own with that one.
I personally use a PC, I think it wouldn't be much different than a mac. But for me, its easier.

Wow, dude. I don't care what you say about "being new to photoshop", your colours look fantastic! I've still been to nervous to even open PS up again since I got it months ago, lol. I really like these sketches; especially liking the one with the goggle/faceplace thing over his eyes, that one is really cool. Even for just sketches, these have really nice details on them. Sweet creature an awesome work!

BlkBullet23 In reply to ravenshield [2007-03-11 06:17:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Raven, I usually call them sketches when I dont do any shading on them and leave some extra lines hanging.
Glad you liked the masked version, I was having second thoughts when drawing it.
Lol, yeah I'm still new to photoshop. I have been getting better though, thanks to my halo picture. So far, I think I put about 28 hours into it. The longest I've ever done on any picture.
