Thank you! It's not really my website, I'm just a member. Be sure to check out the founders galleries, and the rest of the members as well. They all kick tremendous amounts of ass.

Looky here... one of the 2 best game characters ever ^_^

The colors really look sweet on this one...

I only think that the sword has a stone-isch look rather than steel-ish...

its links blade that makes this picture for me...i could stare at that for hours. did you add the tattoos during coloring or were they in mouse's lines?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FabianMonk In reply to TimKelly [2005-09-19 18:40:26 +0000 UTC]

I added them later on. I was using a reference image from the back of the Windwaker handbooklet, and the featured hog had those tattoos. Thought it'd be a nice touch to add them in.

Glad you enjoy it!

Mouse's lineart is phenomenal, with real character and an amazing sense of movement! And the colouring complements it fantastically too, with superb lighting and an incredible sense of form!!

Superb work, both of you!!

nice one! though the hatchet looks weird, I think its because the front isnt supposed to be lit like that, the rest it pure genius man!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FabianMonk In reply to no26 [2005-09-19 17:31:21 +0000 UTC]

Which part of the hatchet? And how should it be lit?

Thanks for the crit, always glad to hear them!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

no26 In reply to FabianMonk [2005-09-19 18:19:11 +0000 UTC]

well....I think that the front of the hatchet should be darker instead of lighter cause right now it doesnt really look like its the front of teh hatchet, it looks more like a uhm..... bevel, if you know what I mean.......I've got a very limited english vocabulaire! haha but on the other hand, it could just be me! haha

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FabianMonk In reply to no26 [2005-09-19 18:39:01 +0000 UTC]

But given the lightsource is coming from the bottom (regarding the blade), then the side facing upwards would be darkest, and the other two, smaller sides would be lighter, wouldn't they?
Given the angle of the blade, there would be a lot more reflective lighting from the stones, objects, characters in the situation hitting the two smaller sides than the big, upwards facing side.

no26 In reply to FabianMonk [2005-09-19 19:10:19 +0000 UTC]

I geuss you right!
Though i didnt mean that you should make it darker then the side facing upwards, just a little darker then the one facing right/down.
[link] <--- stupid little overpaint!

anyhoo, like I said it could be me, im just weird like that! haha
but its still a killer piece man! I really envy your skills!

FabianMonk In reply to no26 [2005-09-20 13:26:32 +0000 UTC]

Ha ha, actually, I think you're right. I just didn't understand what it was you meant before. But the overdraw makes things clearer.
But I'll be honest with you, I'm pretty much too lazy to go back and change it now. You're crits entirely correct though, so thanks for that!
